FOREIGN RELATIONS

The steamship Robert Dollar sailed
from Rio de Janeiro. Wednesday. flying
the British coiors. Two weeks ago the
Robert Dollar made application at Rio
for a transfer OF Canadian registry to
American, under tho registry law OF
| August IS. The British Consul protested
and the transfer was refused. The incl
dent derives its Importance from it's ex-
preston of the British attitude toward
President Wilson's plan for the purchase
of foreign steamers to be operated by a
government-controlled corporation. The
President, on Thursday, said that the
ship purchase bill would not be taken
from the Administrators legislative cal
endar
1t was announced in Washington that
President Wilson had determined TO toler-
ate no longer the offensive public COM
ments of foreign diplomatic representa-
tives concerning matters of domestic con-
cern. This announcement relates particu-
larly to the alleged statements of Sir
Lionel Garden, former British Minister to
Mexico, crIticising our Governments Mex
ican policy; of Baron Wilhelm Won
Schoen, of the German diplomatic serv-
Ice who Is said to have declared that
Japan wants war with this country; and
of A. Rustem Bey, the Turkish Ambas-
sador TO the United States, whose refer
ences to lynchings in the Southern States
and water cures" in the Philippines
were not kindly received at the White
House. It is believed that the American
Government has asked for Rustem Beys
recall, or will do so, and that it will
take official action with reference to the
Won Schoen and Garden interviews.

WATERWAYS AND PORK

On Monday evening, after week of
continuous fighting, the allied flioustering
forces in the Senate overwhelmed the ad-
vocates of the rivers and harbors bill and
forced them to an unconditional surrender.
The motion of Senator Bankhead of Ala
bama, Democrat, to recommit the bill TO
the Commerce Committee with instructions
to report a new bill carrying total ap-
preparation not exceeding $2OOOOOOO, was
debated eight and half hours. The
motion prevailed by a vote of q to 90
exactly a quorum. Sixteen Democrats
and eleven Republicans voted to recommit
the bill Seventeen Democrats four Re
publicans and one Democrat registered
themselves as in favor OF it as 1t stood

favcring economy in municipal and ma

termed it unwise economy. Continuous

THE MEXICAN UNREST

Mexico's restlessness is manifest again
and indications point to another revolu-
oent Wilson'S moral Intervention. The
causes of the breach between CarranZa
and Villa date back to the latter days
of the revolt which gave Carranza con-
troll of the Government and have to do
principally with conflicting ambitions,
perhaps not entirely personal and with
divergent conceptions of what form and
character should be given to the new
governmental system. According to ac-
counts yesterday, Villa has massed from
40 900 to $4,000 seasoned troops in Chi
