plans or policies in Mexico, though the
British Minister carried away distinct
impression Of President Wilson's unal
terable opposition to Huerta. This, il 3
assumed. may now be conveyed 10 the
foreign diplomats in Mexico City. as well
as 10 Huerta. in a manner that probably
may preclude any further support from
Europe for Huerta.
These possibilities are pointed out by
close observers, who suggest that diplo-
macy often needs no formal understand
Ing or agreement, but acts frequently on
the principle that one good turn deserves
another. British participation in the
Panama-Pacifc Exposition, for instance
is being urged by the English press, anG
majority i'm the House of Commons Is
supporting the movement, which is re
garded I'm many quarters as an instance
OF such reciprocity.
Worldwide participation in the San
Francisco exposition is hoped for by the
Washington government not only because
Of natural desire for the success OF an
American enterprise, but because tho ad-
ministraton here expects TO make OF the
exposition an international forum for the
promotion Of universal peace The recent
ratification Of the eight arbitration
treaties and the contamination Of the
principle of investigation as preventative
OF war in treaties already being drafted
with several nations by Secretary Bryan
are manifestations OF the purpose of the
United States 10 take the lead for world
peace and the abolition OF war.
In an atmosphere Of frank dealing and
international good faith II is the wish OF
the United States government TO rohabili-
tate the entire structure Of its foreign re
lations IN this light diplomatists under
stand President Wilson's reference in his
last message 20 matters Of greater deli
cacy and nearer consequence" which. he
said. were involved in the proposed repeal.
That the President anticipated difficulties
in dealing hereafter with those nations
which had regarded the United States as
breaking a solemn promise for its own in
terest is the official explanation OF that
part OF his message.

on charges involving immoral conduct
tconvenes tomorrow morning al Fort
Terry. Plum Island. IL is expected that
Miss Sophia NJ. Koehler. a sister OF the
accused officer, will take the stand in her
brothers defence.
To-day, Il was learned. Miss Koehler
spent several hours consulting household
records and engagement books with
view TO refuting the statements or wit
nesses for the prosecution, who told UNI
der oath OF occurrences in which Major
Koehler figured. Miss Koehler hopes 10
prove the charges false by showing that
her brother was in another place on sew
eral OF the days mentioned in the tcsti-
mony
II was announced recently by the de-
fence that before the case was over

Immediately took measures To have ina

goes TO vote.
The other side has been equally active
with the result that both have inNesu-

was expected st the beginning or the

however. may have something TO do with
this. Il is understood here that daily

No session OF the court was held 70

II Is said that second lieutenant now

ULSTER TO LEARN
IT'S FATE TO-DAY
Premier Asquith Will Announce
His Temporary Exclusion Plan
in House of Commons.
lBy Cable 10 The Tribun. ]

London March 9.-Not since the last
stage Of the Parliament bill when Lord
Morley of Blackburn Informed the
House OF Lords Of the decision Of the
King as to the creation of new peers
has a political announcement aroused
so much interest as that which Premier
Asquith is due to make to-day on the
Home Rule bill.
1t is generally understood that the
Asquth proposal will be. as already
stated, temporary exclusion for such Of
the Ulster counties as demand II by a
ma iority Of votes after the passage of
the bill and before il comes into opera
ton. It will be open TO the electors or
any county TO take a vote among them
selves on the question Of inclusion or
exclusion. If a majority faVors eXclu-
sion, the county will remain outside the
operation Of the act for a stated term,
most probably three or five years.
Mr.. Redmond and Mr.. Devlin. with
considerable reluctance, have agreed in
principle to this plan. II is confidently
asserted that Mr.. Devlin was persuade
TO agree 10 the plan only after a long
conference with Mr.. Lloyd George, and
il is believed that Mr.. Devlin's visit 20
ireland last week was for the purpose
OF persuadng the wirepulers and or
ganizers there Of the necessity Of ac-
cepting the new scheme Of the govern
ment.
Prior 10 the assembling Of the House
OF Commons to-day the Nationalist
leaders will hold a meeting and discuss
the new development with their sup
porters. Mr.. Devlin is expected TO re-
port the result Of his Irish visit and
the party will then settle its course OF
action in the evenings debate.
Denial is given to the suggestion that
convention will be needed TO deal
with the altered situation. Mr.. Red
mond and his colleagues having been
given full power to act in an cmer-
gency like the present.
Naturally Mr.. Asquiths promised
statement is arousing immense inter
est. and applications for seats in the
public galleries Of the House Of Com
mons are unprecedented.
After Premier Asquith makes his
statement Andrew Bonar Law, leader
of the Opposition in the House Of Com
mons. viii reply briefly. as also will Sir
| Edward Carson, the Ulster leader il he
| is we'll enough TO leave his home. But
| the attitude OF the Opposition is not
/ likely TO be revealed, as It has been
planned to postpone all debate on the
measure for a fortnight, or unit! the
financial business Of the House Of Com
mons is finished.

Remedy Is Suggested.

Il think probably the real remedy lies
in changing TO something Ike the COM
mission form, Of government.
AT the town meeting elections there
are thirty-three officials elected for this
small town. At the last election de'ec-
tives discovered some very peculiar thinss
going on. One great weakness IN the
present method is that all voting must oe
done at one place. There ought TO lie nan
a dozen voting places.
AS TO the selection OF candidates, 1t IS
evident they are chosen more for their
political strength than for Their capacity.
Another great weakness in. the present
scheme is that within the town govern
ment OF Greenwich there is the borough
government OF Greenwich village. The
people in the borough have three sets OF
taxes-school, borough and town-whiit
those outside the town, who arc the
Weather people. have only the town
taxes.
Deputy Judge william J. Ferris, who
belongs TO the Progressive wing OF local
politics. was OF the same opinion as 70
the need for a change.
"Thc town and borough should be con-
soldated." he said, under a single gov
eminent. Such consolidation should
eliminate the necessity OF calling town
meetings 10 consider questions which
might be included in the duties OF heads
OF departments
Wilbur Wright, who is credited with
being one OF the controlling political pow
ers, expressed doubt as to whether the
situation was serious enough 10 demand
a change.

Of Trade, who has usually been promi-
nent for his insurgcnt activities in town

system was absurd he doubted whether
