ticipation in the administration
dealing with the Mexican situation, in
which he has been it's chief adviser. is
interpreted to mean that mediation is
expected 10 be a long drawnout pro-
ceeding. with the likelihood OF no
practical results in the end.
Administration Policy.
Tuesday. for the first time. came a
clear and comprehensive summary of
the administration position In the
Mexican mediation proceedings. 1t
comes from a high authOrity--a man
who has been intimately associated
with the president and Secy Bryan
since the secretary first took hold of
the Mexican problem.
1T is futile" he said. Ito consider
mediation without the constitutional
lists being included in any resultant
plan. There are three distinct parties
at Niagara:
The mediators, the United States,
and Mexico represented by contending
factions, the Huertiastas and the Car
ranzistas. Now is it possible to con-
ceive that you can deal with one-half
OF the Mexican entity and delude
yourself into believing you are. deal
ing with the whole.
The United States will not take
the responsibility OF formulating a
plan that calls Tor the participation
of the constiutionalists which plan
the cOnstitutiOnalists have not them
selves joined in. and then attempt to
see that Carranza will carry such a
program through.
Must Include CarranZa
Unless the mediators viewpoint Is
warped by prejudice, they must see
that nothing can come OF their good
offices unless Carranza is brought into
the parley. II they let the fancied
slight upon their dignity said 10 have
resulted from Carranza's refusal 10
agree to an armistice, and their sub
sequent withdrawal Of their invitation
to him as being inOppOrtune' stand in
the way of again securing the constl-
tutiOnalists TO come in, they are men
Of too small a mental stature for the
great work they have undertaken to
do.
They will show their genuine un-
Outstanding of the office Of the medi-
ators when they admit they were
wrong in laying down a condition of
an armistice for the entrance OF the
constitutionalists into the parley and
allow them to come in without full
filing such a condition precedent.
MediatOrs as such have no right to
place any requirements on the parties

est evils OF the church today is that Of
choosing a church board from the wrong
standpoint that is, because the man Is
yea tiny, influential or having some other
worldly characteristic.
The members should be appointed be-
cause they are religious men. If the
church is to succeed IL must keep from
petty politics and be run by spiritual
Another part Of the subject considered
IS that Of prayer" The speaker point
prayer needed. He showed that prayer is
great force I'm public and private life
He told OF the teachings Of SINE modern
philosophers, that prayer is vnuable only
because il inspires the individual doing
the praying. He said that no church
could long exist on such a belief.
The third point discussed was that OF
the business efficiency" OF the church.

SENATE NEARS VOTE
ON TOLLS REPEAL BILL

WASHINGTON. June 1G,-The SEN
ate convened at 10 o'clock this morn
ing with debates on the panama tolls
question as the main issue.
Senator Sutherland has introduced
an amendment which while repeating
the tolls exemption clause, affirms
positively the right of the United
States under the treaty TO the eXemp-
ton. The senators favoring repeal
are strongly opposed to any such
amendment.
The repeal leaders said they would
be we'll satisfied if the roll call on the
simmons amendment could be reach
ed today. Once having passed this
they pointed out, they could cut on
debate on the other amendments by
moving 70 postpone them indefinitely.
There is no way to limit debate pre-
ceding the final roll call on the bill
