MARKING TIME
IN THE SITUATION
can Mediation Until Car
rama Speaks.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, July 9.-Until word
comes from General Carranza direct
regarding his future intentions. ON.
Gals said today the United States
must continue to mark time in the
Mexican situation. All future action.
1t was declared, are contingent on
whether Carranza will treat with
Huerta in an unofficial manner. State
department officials are confident that
he will. So Is Minister Naon, local
representative of the A. B. c. media
tors. But the constitutionalist junta
is now dubious.
Reports that the constitutIonalist
field generals have opposed any
change in the plan of sScSadaloupe,
which provided for peace only after
the conquest of Mexico City, is worry
ing them. They profess to have no
or denial OF this, despite
the fact that they received during the
last fifteen hours several very long
code messages direct from Carranza.
It has been stated to Carranza
Consul Silliman that under no
circumstances will the United States
or the great South American republics
recognize a military government.
Therefore should Carranza set up his
own government through the capture
of the Mexican capital. he would be
placed in the same position Of Huerta;
would be refused and it
would be physical impossibility for
him to raise funds to run the business
of state.
BY insisting on this the United
States feels confident that 1t will get
the concessions from Carranza which
will result In compromise provision

FREE PASSES ON
THE RAILROAD
Scathine Arra!gnment Of the 1. 4 N.
by Interstate Commerce
Commission.

WASHINGTON, July e-ln report
to the senate upon the issuance OF
free passes by the Louisville and
Nashville and associated railroads to-
day the interstate commerce commits
sion scathingly arraigned the company
for lavish distribution Of passes and
their insidious influence.
These carriers have dipped into
practically every domain Of public
and private lift through the instru-
mentality Of the free pass" the report
declared. There Is scarcely walk
in life that is not represented In this
procession of recipients, from the
federal bench to the local politician
and the sheriff who summons the jury.
The threads represented by these
passes tie thousands Of citizens to
the carrier through improper rela-
lions. The lack of immortality reflect
ed, is q menace to institutions OF a
free people. These citizens who sell
their influence quite as much as
though they accepted money brides.
seem to be as willing to be tied as
the carriers are willing to tie them.
MEN pledge their influence quietly
in the home, school or club. In pro-
LESSONS, business, city councils, legis-
lative halls and at the polls.
THE financial magnitude involved,
however, is nothing compared with
the impairment OF public and private
morality"
During 1918 the L. and N. issued
sos passes involving 4,577,000 miles
OF travel worth $4,000, according to
the report. OF these. 6,57s were to
the members OF legislative bodies and
other public officials, including one
U. 8. senator, two o. S. representa-
tives and I39 q. s. officials, also local
judges, city, county and state execu-
tive officials. The report also stated
that the Nashville, Chattanooga and
st. Louis railway In 1918 had issued
2s,255 passes for 7,133,sA miles Of
travel worth s20s,4o0, including Isl
to o. S. oficials and over $4,000 to
state executive officials.

The Na,y's Need of a General Staff.

Josephus Daniels. But who will follow him? As
long as our present system exists the navy stands
at the mercy Of any tarheel or freshwater states
man whom benign President may see fit to re-
ward with the post The system must be changed
and changed promptly, and the creation Of a
general staff for the navy corresponding to the
General Staff Of the Army offers an obvious and,
TO a considerable extent an effective remedy.
Under our Constitution it is difficult 70 restrict
the civilian head of the navy. But, as THE Army
and Navy Journal points out, general staff,
bearing the authority OF Congress and secure IN
tenure, would possess dignity and public sup
port which no Secretary of the Navy could ig-
nore 1t would fall somewhat short of the
Status of the British Admiralty, but it would
possess a similar influence and would speak with
equal authority. Such body would surely have
accomplished something toward preventing a
situation which "The Army and Navy Journal
thus sums up:
They the American people Of the great

United States among the nations OF the world being

calamity, but it is the sort of calamity that
ought not to happen twice in any country with
sense and ability What laws can DO TO prevent
its repetition should be done at once.
