ADMITS MEXICO
 PLOT EXISTED
JOSE OROZC0 MAKES CONFESS SION OF CONSPIRACY
 TO RESTORE HUERTA.

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 6.-Accord- ing to the district attorneys office General Jose Orozco, who is now un- der arrest here, has made a comics sion that a plot has really existed to restore Huerta to the presidency and that the arrest of Huerta alone put an end to the plans of the conspira- tors. Huerta is still in the custody of the United States officials. When he was arrested some months ago he repudiated the charge that he was engaged in any activities towards starting another revolution in Mexico. The confession of OrozcO has resulted already in the issuance of warrants for the arrest of more than dozen men who are now resi- dents of this country. Orozco in his confession says that the sum of eleven million dollars was behind the plotters and that Juarez had been chosen as the provisional capital of the Huertaistas. Six thousand rifles and six machine guns had actually been ordered and it is now clear that the arrest of Huerta happened just in the nick of time. The question now arises as to whether Huerta will be placed on trial for using this country for the furtherance of his plots but the majority believe he will merely be deported.

WICKERSHAM TO GO
 ON TO ANCHORAGE
Wires to Say He Will Leave Cor doya on First Boat and
 Proceed Through

Delegate Wickersham wires to say that he will leave Cordova on the first boat and go to Anchorage if that boat goes to that town. This cable was received by E. J. Warner who communicated with the delegate in behalf of the Commercial Club of the new railroad city. George Sexton re- ceived the other cable telling that the Delegate will come to Seward on the first boat, which will, of course, be the Evans. The steamer ought to arrive here Monday or, surely, Tuesday. but, judging by the cable to Mir. Warner, Mir. Wickersham intends to go right on to our neighboring city. If the Evans is here at any seasonable hour an effort will be made to have him make an address.

'WICKERSHAM
 ON R. R. FUNDS
TELLS INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT APPROPRIATION
 TO FAIRBANKS PAPER.

Delegate Wickersham has no doubt whatever that the money asked for by Secretary Lane for the prosecution of railroad work will be granted with out any hesitation. In the following statement to the Fairbanks News Miner some time ago he tells many interesting facts:
 Asked whether or not congress would give MT. Lane the amount the secretary of the interior stated he would ask for, MT. Wickersham said: Certainly. There is no doubt of it."
 "An explanation was asked as to why there would be no question about getting the money. Mir. Wick ersham then outlined briefly and pointedly the entire history of the elimination from the Wickersham bill of the clause which would em- power the government to issue bonds to cover the $35,OO0,OOO appropria- ton, the same as was done in the bill which empowered congress to issue bonds for money to cover the Panama canal.
 "It seems that Representative Fitz- gerald and the representatives from Georgia and Oklahoma were very strong in their opposition to the ap- propriation of the money for the construction of an Alaska railroad and fought the passage of the bill with all their might, night and day, on the floor of the house, in the lobby, and everywhere. Representa- tive Fitzgerald was particularly bit ter against the clause which would empower the issuance of the $35,- 100000 worth of bonds. Finally it was agreed that the clause would be dropped but only with definite un- derstanding.
 The Understanding
 Representative Lenroot, of Wis consin, had fought just as hard for the passage of the bill as Fitzgerald had fought against it. When Fitz- gerald fought to have the bond issue clause erased from the bill, Repre- sentative Lenroot went to him at the earnest request of Delegate Wicker sham and had with Fitzgerald de- finite understanding to the effect that there would be no fight made against the money being appropriated for the road by the coming session of congress. Representative Lenroot went to MT. Fitzgerald, who is the chairman of the finance committee in the house, assured him that if the bill passed he would not offer any objection whatsoever to the money being appropriated at any time that the secretary of the interior asked for it.
 Accordingly, as explained by Dele gate Wickersham, all the secretary of the interior has to do is to put the amount of money he thinks will be needed by the Alaska Railroad Com mission in the estimate which he furnishes for his expenses for the ensuing year, and congress will ap- propriate the money without ques- tion."

TRADE WITH SCANDINAVIA
America Helping to Prolong the
War by Helping Germany.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: ! venture 70 think that you will re-
ceive, and be willing to publish few words
from a very old man touching the relations
between this country and yours. assume
this privilege because Of my acquaintance
with and residence among you, though in
long past years at the times when Pierce
and Buchanan were President. During the
latter's reign | was about becoming citizen,
but was taken i'll at Savannah, Ga, and had
10 leave for New York, and after a few
months returned to England, about the year
1853, with the intention Of coming back 70
New York, but getting married prevented my
doing as / wished. Notwithstanding this, my
interest in, and syInpathies with, the United
States have been consistently constant, mas
much as | prefer federal to a monarchical
government.
You will not then be surprised that should
fairly closely watch the happenings during
the war of secession between the North and
the South which resulted in some unpleas-
antness between England and the United
States but was settled by England's paying
e4, 900 900 sterling as compensation for losses

English did not vigorously contest the claim,
although the vessel was purchased by the
Southern States before the war broke out,
and had left the docks of the builders. There
was certainly a shade of sympathy toward
the South by minority Of Englshmen;
nevertheless, they we're united in respecting
the feeble blockade, by making no attempt
to get cotton, though tens of thousands Of
our people were on the brink Of starvation
for the want of work and their wages.
This brings me to the point would like to
emphasize, although I feel some hesitancy
in doing it, simply because | know that
America is just as peaceaby inclined as we
ars / refer to the trade that the United
States is and has been doing with the
Scandinavian kingdoms, knowing that the
goods osteusibly were for Germany, which is
virtually assisting our enemies and thus
prolonging this war of slaughter and un-

reign by Divine right. "War is game which

How Do Honor Systems Work7

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Through your columns hope 10 And
an answer to a question which is puzzling
me sorely.
During tho last few weeks at Hunter Col
lege, of this city, there has been much dis
cussion Of the honor system One Of the
arguments set forth by the student council
for the systems adoption is that it is in sue
cessful operation at the leading colleges Of
the country. I believe, however, that the
girls advocating this at Hunter have wrong
idea of what the honor systems in these
other colleges are.
Therefore | ask any student or alumnus
OF a college where an honor system is iu
vogue TO kindly communicate through these
columns telling what form 10 has taken and
how it works out in practical operation By
so doing they will help clear up very per-
picking problem. ANNA NOLL.

Logothetes.
shirking.

The Tribune has mad occasion to say
that President Wilson is a stylist. To
pursue the analysis Of his literary manner
still further with his message TO Con-
gress fresh in mind, it seems only fair
TO accord to him the ability, which Mr.
Chester Lord has indicated as a desider-
atum among members Of the old Sun
staff, of producing rich effects with SIM
pie words"
A popular impression Of the Presidents
place in contemporary literature IS ex-
pressed in this paragraph, taken from the
Coming Tower of Wednesday:
As writer Of English the President can
give Colonel Roosevelt big cassino and three
aces But if T. K. had had the writing OF
this message, there would have been four or
five phrases in il that the next edition of
"Bartlett's Familiar Quotations" couldn't
omit.
One may be excused for wondering
whether Bartlett can afford much longer
to omit those old Wilsonian phrases
"watchful waiting" and "too proud to
fight" But, however that may be, the
Colonel, as if in acceptance of the implied
challenge contained in the paragraph
quoted, has obliged us with single phrase
which deserves to rank with the best of his
verbal bolts now so much part of our COM
mon speech. He has likened Mr.. Wilson to a
Byzantine logothete, a man Of written
words. The historical reference involved
is just obscure enough TO have caused
wide inquiry and a resort to dictionaries
and other books Of reference, the best
possible specific for gluing the phrase to
the popular memory. And among the
authorities quoted in explanation of the
epithet we find no less eminent a one
than Professor Basil Gildersleeve, whose
Latin and Greek textbooks are remembered
with awe by a generation of college grads.
The professor is reported as saying:
byzantine logothete,' as Colonel
Roosevelt used it in reference to President
Wilson. is term of profound contempt.
1t is derived from Greek word, logo
thetes, meaning a scriyener who draws up
papers. 1t is the name Of subordinate
who does the work Of a secretary, and
holds purely a minor position"
In view Of which it seems only fair TO
accord Mr.. Roosevelt the ability to produce
rich effects with single words. In fact,
the Colonel is something of a logothete
himself, is he not, though possibly with
out the byzantine" qualification?

Three Million by Next July.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Our government called Germany sew
eral months too late TO save American lives;
it called England one year too late to save
American shipping, and 1t will probably be
five years too late to save American soldiers
land and gold. The Buchanan administration
Immediately preceding the Civil War like
the present one, was headed straight for war
without an adequate army, navy, reserves OF
supplies and had the enemy been trained
and equipped there would be no united United
States to-day. Our unpreparedness invited
war and the unpreparedness of the enemy
was all that saved the Union The least pre-
pared lost
Considering the present state of diplomatic
affairs, the ease with which certain nations
can use the Mexican damage claims for an
excuse to ignore the Monroe Doctrine and
get American land, and that the nation from
which we forced our Atlantic States controls
the Atlantic and is allied with the nation
which covets our Pacific States and controls
the Pacific, il certainly behooves Congress
to think OF something quicker than a five
year programme for adequate defences By
that time the United States may have NJ
Monroe Doctrine. Panama Canal or coasts 70
defend. AS readers Of The Tribune well know
history proves that the title 70 land is moth
ing but the ability 20 prevent invasion.
Although it may be absolutely impossible
to make the navy and heavy supplies ade-
quate i'm less than one year (hence our dan
ger), there can be no excuse for not having
AT least three million trained reserves by
the next Fourth of July, except perhaps tho
close fsted taxpayers the owners Of the
very wealth which attracts bandit nations
and causes many wars
During the next six months the United
States will swarm with able minded and
