informed here to-day of his formal
recognition as Executive Of the de facto
government in Mexico in telegram

dency.

there is no law that prohibits me from
being a candidate"
"Will YOU be candidate" he was
asked

would continue for year
II shall not call an election until
peace is entirely restored" he contin-
ued. "The first step will be municipal
elections, in order that general cleo

eressional elections will follow. This
congress will be largely for the pur-
pose Of passing upon the DEGREES and
proclsmations promulgated by the Con-
stitutionalist government. 1t Will give
way in time TO a Congress elected later.
Finally we will come TO the Presi-
Dental election. Responsibility for life

FAIL
AS SCOUT SHIPS
Naval War Game Proves
That They Lack Speed
and Range.
From The Tribune Buresul

Washington, Oct. 20-The useless
ness OF destroyers as scout ships was
demonstrated in the recent naval war
game. in which the attacking feet made
constructive landing in Delaware
Bay. Naval officers said to-day that
the small craft ran short Of fuel and
had to leave the scouting line, and that
they were unable to maintain high
speed in a heavy sea.
This revelation is held In naval cir
ces to prove the necessity of equpping
the navy with fast and powerful scout
cruisers, such as Secretary Daniels Las
recommended in his fve-year building
programme.
Because the scouting destroyers OF
Rear Admiral Fletcher's defending
feet failed to find the enemy the at
lacking force succeeded in destroying
the Blue feet piecemeal," etfecting a
landing not only for the battleships
OF the Reds. but for many transports.
Rear Admiral Fletcher's strategy is
locked up among the secrets of the
naval War College at Newport. 1t is
believed, however, that had his forces
been equipped with fast scouts capable
of keeping the sea continuously in any
weather the result might have been
otherwise.
Naval experts doubt the advissbility
of mounting l6-inch guns on the new
battleships TO be authorized at the Eext
session of Congress. At present the
largest on the ships of any navy gre
l5-inch, and these are not more effec-
tive than the l4-inch rifles Of the
American navy.
Replacing 14-inch guns with the
heavier l6-inch type would necessitate
a reduction of their number, the ex-
perts say, and would give no advantage
save slight increase in range. 1t IA
doubtful whether an increased range
would be of great value. At present
IL is impossible to operate az more than
IS. 900 yards, the limit of vision on the
sea.
Indirect fire methods in use on
land. il is declared, may be adapted to
naval warfare. BY means OF a captive
balloon as an observers seat, ranges
of $4,000 yards might be found p-ac-
ticable. The gunners would be in
formed of the accuracy of their fire By
the balloonist, through the bracket
ing" system familiar to field artillery
men.
Under this system two shots re
fred. one intended to fall short OF the
target and the other TO go over 1t,
after the approximate range has en-
calculated. The observer informs the
gunners which shot falls nearer. and
the process is repeated until the proper
range is found.

ASKS IA MORE CADETS
Garrison Wants Congress to Set Enrol
ment Total at 770.

Washington, Oct. 20 Secretary
Garrison. in his recommendation TO
Congress. asks for l44 more cadets at
West Point. No extension OF the
physical equipment will be necessary.
At present the enrolment is larger
than ever before in the history OF the
academy 626 but the buildings can
accommodate no.
Congress will have to determine how
the additional men shall be appointed
"a we'll as the $50 additional middies
asked for by Secretary Daniels.
An enlargement of the academy
equipment. il is expected, will be asked
for next year. Army officers say that
with the new continental army and
the large increase in the regulars the
problem of officers will be difficult. un-
less adequate and permanent provision
is made for training them.

FEARS CARRANZA WILL FAIL
Paris Temps" Says He Needs Recog-
milton by Europe

Paris. Oct. 20 The Temps" eI-
presses doubt that General CarranEa
is sufficiently strong and popular to
maintain power in Mexico. but because
of the recognition and aid Of the United
States il thinks he has more chance
20 succeed than had Huerta.
The Carranza administration still
needs the recognition Of the European
powers" says the Temps" but the
only thing that interests these powers
is that anarchy shall end and that their
nationals shall be safeguarded and
their interests guaranteed No doubt
the United States and the Latin-Ameri-
can republics have given Carranza ad-
vice which will determine his attitude
and result in his recognition by the
powers. The outlook would then be
brighter for the pacifcation Of Mex
leo"

BERLIN EXPECTS
PEACE BY SPRING
Thinks Britain Will Yield
Because of Her Sense
of Business.
BUT ALLIES MUST
MAKE OVERTURES
Government Circles Will Not
Discuss Terms Until Foe
Is Ready.

Berlin. Oct. s.-"But by spring We
shall probably have peace"
This remark of state official in a
very high place may be taken as in
dicative of the view held in German
government circles. The remark was
made incidentally during a discussion
of certain possibilities in the Balkan
situation.
Pressed 70 give a reason for his OPP
timism, the official replied that he
based his expectations largely on "the
sound business sense OF the British" "
which would lead them to move for
peace as soon as they saw nothing was
to be gained by continuing the war.
I'VE now hold in the West" he con-
tinued. "a strongly fortified line in
closing a great enclave OF French and
Belgian territory. We shall soon have
a similar line fortified in the East Be
hind these two lines we can sit tight
and defy all efforts of our enemies to
break through.
81 have much confidence in the bust
ness sense of the British, and think
that when once they have found the
Dardanelles cannot be forced this will
lead them to take steps in the direction
of peace"
1t was suggested that business men
usually are unwilling TO make con-
tract wherein all the advantages OF
conditions are with the other parties,
and that this business would be
facilitated if the opponents had some
definite information as TO the maxi
mum terms on which Germany would
be ready 70 discuss peace The official
replied that for Germany 70 make a
statement at this time on the condi-
tions of peace possibly might be inter
preted as confession of weakness,
and that for the present he preferred
to await overtures from the other side.
People Discuss War Aims.
The vigor with which the various
political groups and big industrial,
commercial and agricultural organiza-
tions discuss the tabooed topic OF the
"aims of the war" indicates that the
government is giving serious consld-
Grafton TO the subject of peace. This
discussion and the utterances OF DR..
Karl Heltferich, Secretary of the Ger
man Imperial Treasury; Sir Edward
Grey, British Foreign Secretary, and
other responsible personages give color
TO the suspicion that something may be
going on behind the curtain.
No statement whatever as to Ger
many's peace conditions can be OBJ
tanned. nor is IL even certain the gov
eminent has reached any final conclu-
sion. From observations and remarks
dropped from time to time in official
circles. one would say that Germany's
present terms include neither the alb
sorption of Belgium nor other whole
sale annexations demanded by the
"blue sky" enthusiasts, who seem
bound on adding 70 Germany practi-
cally everything now occupied by Ger
man armies.
Demand Large Indemnity.
The cardinal point in the desires OF
official Germany, if these assumptions
are correct is at present a large in
demnity. This is demanded not only
to compensate Germany for the stead

intersection of Spring and Troy
streets yesterday morning when
Arch Ballard, of Dorsey, driving
a Ford car, was run into by a
little negro boy riding a bicycle.
The impact of the car with the
little darkey hurled him 10 or Is

beneath the wheels of the car.
Witnesses who saw the accident
exonerate Mr.. Ballard of all
blame, as he was driving eau
tiously, while the negro was
going at a good rate of speed

The White Way

Work will soon begin on the
extension of the white way from
Main street south on Spring to
the Union station. Subscriptions
have been made sufficient to do
this work, and before the winter
is here Spring street will have
the same beautiful lights that
make Main and Broadway SO
attractive.
The construction of our white
way has cost the city nothing.
except possibly the time of the
city employees in installing the
lights.
All of the lights have been
paid for by private subscriptions,
and this mark of progress calls
forth a word of commendation
of the citizens who have given of
their private means to add to
the attractiyeness or the city.
When completed to the Union
station Tupelo will have the
longest white way in the state,
extending from the intersection
of Broadway on the north with
Franklin and running to the
Union station. The view from
the train at the station will
give Tupelo a regular metropoli-
tan appearance, and as it already
bears the reputation of being the
best town in the state we will
set new pace with our white
way to which few towns can
aspire.
