was Cen Porfrio Diaz, who died in
Paris July 3. Occasionally a message
was received from him from his re-
treat, counseling the Mexican people to
get together. The intimation was that
they should get together to repel possi-
BILE invasion by a foreign power, mean
ing the United States.
If Gen. Diaz had not been past eighty
it is possible that he might have been
considered as the leader Of new revo-
luton in Mexico, but though this
suggestion occasionally was put out,
those who knew him best did not be-
lieve that he entertained it. He had
all the physical vigor of the Indian
race from which he came. He knew
that men past eighty did not, as a rule.

policies vindicated.

regime was at its height and Mexico
was prosperous and everybody seemed
happy and contented. Gen. Diaz was
credited with giving utterance to the
wish that fifty years after death he

Mexico would then be. His vision, ap-
parently. was one of continuous deVel-

made a few days ago by
q Lloyd George. the newly ap-
ro,nted British minister of munitions
and one of the dictators Of the British
empire. Is at once a report of great
progress and a confession. 1t tells us
that he is succeeding in the Job to
which he has been put-that of provid-
ing guns and shells and clothing and
all the thousand and one necessaries
for an army In the field. and 1t is con-
fession that IL took England more than
ten months. during which her sons were
being slaughtered at a rate never
known in the worlds history. to be-
como really awake to the fact that she
was at war.
Today she is awake. and she is strain
ing every nerve to organize herself for
the one business In hand-that of beat
ing the Germans. The Job, which is d.
vided into two parts, has been intrusted
to the two men IN whom the country
has the supremest confidence. Lord
Kitchener Is in charge of the organiza-
tion of the armies and Lloyd George is
in complete control of the business of
equipplng and supplying them.
Tho job Of the other members of the
coalition cabinet is TO do what these
two men tell them. for today the poll
ticians no longer rule In England, and
parliament. for all practical purposes,
is non-existent. Every one feels that
the time has gone by for talk. and that
what is wanted is action. The spirit of
the day can best be expressed by
abatement attributed to Lord Fisher.
the late first sea lord of the admiralty.
who resigned because he could not have
his own way and who helped to bring
down the late liberal government. Some
one said to him just before he finally
left his post: You have wrecked one
government and now you are endanger-
what do I care about governments
quoted as having said. MY business is
to kill enough Germans to end this
war" Jacky Fisher was allowed to go.
and. indeed. no other course was pos
sible. but the Fisher spirit is now in
control at Westminster. and the poll
tician who tries to interfere with the
stern business of war because some of
ceive very short shrift indeed from the
twin dictators of the British empire.
Nov the question arises of what they
will do to- organize the empires re-
IL may be as we'll to state in the be-
ginning that for war purposes the en-
pire means practically little more than
the British islands. The overseas do
Yn.nions have done splendfdly. and the
troops that they have sent have been
equal to any the world has ever seen.
Tho exploits OF the Canadians at Neuve
Chapelle and Of the Australians and New
Zealanders at the Dardanelles prove this.
hut when all is said and done. the pop
uiatfon OF Canada is only little over
1000, 900 and Of Australia and New Zea-
land combined only about 5000. 900. or.

the correspondent Of many noted
American men of letters.
During the dying days of the Diaz
regime 1t was understood that Casasue
had split with the other cientificoes
and that he was out Of touch with Gen
Diaz himself He remained in Mexico
during the early months of the Madero
administration, though he was not in
favor with it. Later he went to Eu-
rope and then to New York. His home

Enrique Creel. twelve or fifteen years
ago. was known as the "Pierpont Nor
gan of Mexico" The son of a Ken
huahua, who was told by Secretar.
Seward to keep travelling with the
Juarez government during the French
occupation, he had become a Mexican
of the Mexicans.
As the son-in-law of Luis Terrazas
the great land owner of Chihuahua.
whose land monopoly was one of the
causes of the revolution, he became
prominent in the Diaz government. He
had banks, and was the head of numer-
GUS enterprises, in addition to his land
holdings. 1t was the natural thing fol
him to become governor of Chihuahua
as the representative of the Terrazat
family.
He turned the position over, tenn.
porarily. to one Of his political fol.
lowers in order to serve as ambassador
to Washington when the Diaz govern
ment had a special reason for wanting
him in that position. Then he retired
from the ambassadorship and resumed
his position as governor of Chihuahua
Later he returned to Washington or
a special mission, when Secretary Kno1
was trying to bring order in Nicaragua
by driving Zelaya out Of that country
President Diaz was anxious that the
United States should let Zelaya stay
but his efforts did not cause the Taft
administration to change its policy and
Zelaya had to go.
When Villa got control Of Chihuahua
he confiscated all the Creel property
that could be found. both personal as
well as land. He also tortured mem
bers OF the Creel family who were not
fortunate enough to get away. Creel
himself managed to escape. When the
Zapatistas and Villaistas got control
of Mexico City last fall 1t was said that
they found several hundred thousand
dollars in silver in CreePs bank. not in
the vaults but buried underneath.

been taken. a friend of Mr.. Creers re-
