Washington, March. 2.-That Cen
eral Villa acknowledged the authority
Of General CarranZa as his chief and
will not permit the American commits
sion to examine the body Of William
S. Benton until the Washington gov
ernment has consulted with General
Carranza, is the explanation made by
the president Of the latest phase OF
| the Mexican situation.
Wilson told callers that the desire
of the commissioners to get further
instructions from Washington, as well
STATED the postponement, but the
president takes it for granted that
the commissioners start in few days
at most.
Carranza's prestige in the eyes Of
the government, and the future consti-
tutionalist movement, so far as the
United States Is concerned, will de-
pend to large extent upon the rec
ognition or repudiation by Carranza of
the principle that the United States is
a virtual guardian of the interests Of
all the foreigners in Mexico.
The situation created by CarTanZa's
refusal to give the United States gov
ernment information about the killing
| of Benton, coupled with his declaration
that Great Rritain, herself should ad-
dress the QUESTION to flim,ti is regarded
by the administration as a serious one.
The officials feel that some of the un-
derlying ideas of the American foreign
policy evolved from the Monroe doc
trine have been questioned by the con-
stitutionalist chief.
Specifically, the American govern
ment has asked the powers of the
world to give 1t free hand in dealing
with tho Meyica0 nroh1en Inridanf-
ally 1t has undertaken to obtain secur-
ity and protection for foreigners in
those parts of Mexico where the for
eign governments had no consulates.
The test of CarranZa's attitude is in
volved in connection with the arrange

The following business digest of the
month has been. issued by the First
National bank OF Fargo:
1t is well understood that sentiment
and confidence have a great deal to
do with the general condition OF busl-
ness. The sentiment grows more
wholesome each week and confidence
has been steadily increasing. Busi-
ness is not normal. 1t Is still below
normal. There is, however, enough
visible Improvement to make 1t sale
to say that business will grow better
as the weeks pass
The improved condition is felt in
a greater or less degree in almost
every line of trade. The railroad situa-
tion has not improved. Net earnings
declined for a considerable period and
now gross earnings have been declin-
ing. The freer movement of metals
and general merchandise will help the
railroad situation In measure but
genuine relief cannot come to the rail-
roads until the 1914 crops begin to
come in. Even good crops may not
wholly remedy the present unsatis-
factory conditions unless some method
is found by the railroads or the inter-
state commerce commission to enable
the roads to get higher rate per ton
the roads, the cost of materials is
less than 1t was a few months ago
and they would now be in a position
to buy new equipment and supplies
literally were they able to finance
such purchases Financing by rail-
roads was accomplished during Janu-
ary to the amount Of $74,000,000 COM
pared with $76,000,o00 for January OF
last year. Industrial financing being
smaller for the month than last year
by $16,00O,000, probably helped the
market for these securities. Railroad
securities generally will look better
TO the investor when the railroads can
show better profits on operation.
The clearings of banks for January,
totaling $16.00oO0O.0 were $33,O0o, !
900 less than for the same month last
year. Clearings outside of New York
were $3.50 100000, compared with
$6,92s, 100000 for January Of 1913.

ments the American government in
seeking to make for the examination
of BentOns body.
The Washington government is now
consulting with CarranZa.
The White House view on the Ben
ton trouble is that, strictly speaking,
there is no right of international law
by which the United States could, In.
sist on acting for Great Britain, al
though the American government has
been asked by the powers to use it's
good offices for the protection of for
eigners. If, however England should
not ask the United States to pursue
the matter into further complications
with Carranza, the American govern
men would not feel obliged to go be-
yond an investigation of the facts
through it's own consular representa-
tiVeS.
The next step, it appears, is some
intimation from Great Britain as to
how far she expects the United States
to push the Benton case. Also there is
reason to believe that Carranza will be-
expected, in the near future, to give
the American government further as
surances that all foreigners, regardless
of whether their governments recog-,
nized Huerta or not, be safe in North
ern Mexico.

Covarrubiass who held a diplomatic
position under the Madero govern
ment, was appointed official agent of
the constitutionalists at London. This
action Of Carranza Is taken in connec-
ton with recent international repre-
sentations of the case of Benton. The
appointment of Covarrubias, to Lon
don, it is pointed out, will make pos
sibIe dealings with the insurgents in
Mexico by the British foreign Office,
which accordingly will not have the
opportunity to say that the connec-
ton with CarranZa's government is
so remote it will be necessary through
the American department of state.

New York, March 2.-Points as far
west as Cleveland and south as Balti-

sleet, and buried with snow in q. ter

New York and New Jersey, which be-
gun early yesterday and is still in
progress. In New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, between eight and
eleven inches of snow layers, packed
hard and frozen, covered the streets
and the car rails.
Not in twenty-five years has New
York and it's environs experienced
such storm. At times the wind We
iocity reached eighty-four miles per
hour. Eight deaths are reported here.

New York, March 2.-One of the
most severe storms of the year swept
the Atlantic seaboard yesterday, and
today, causing damage estimated at
several million dollars, prostrating the
telegraph, telephone and train service
and seriously interfering with interur-
ban and street railway traffic.
Ten thousand men worked in day
and night shifts attempting to clear
the principal downtown thoroughfares
of deep snow here. The railroads
brought in special trainloads of work
men from other points to help clear
up the debris due to the storm.
At Baltimore large amount Of
damage was reported, also further
south where the gale continued un-

The simple and disagreeable truth
Is that modern business has destroyed
the fundamental principle of natural
selection. Making women economic
ally dependent on men eliminates the
lifting power of woman's choice-and
there can be no choice without free
dom and no freedom except 1t be
grounded in economic independence.
Because of woman's dependence and
humanity's mental, sympathetic and
social refinements, the fundamental
principles of natural selection and the
Survival of the fittest" through the
struggle for existence have been
forced into the background, creating an
artificial condition certain to be cor
rected by self-destructicn. Hence
this cry for eugenics.
Eugenics cannot become a vital
power in any nation until a suf1c1ent
body of the people become imbued
with the true principles, and this is
condition impossible to attain through
legislation, and is only to be achieved
by individual effort and mental and
physical development. No sane par
ents will knowingly deliberately con-
denim their children or their children's
children to poverty, the insane asy-
lum or worse; and the means OF pre-
vention lie in knowledge.
If every child were given a prac-
teal working knowledge of physics,
chemistry and biology, studies that
furnish material for true thought and
fundamental understanding, the pres
ent unhealthy condition would auto
matically correct itself, and there
would be no more talk of eugenics.
