MATTERS IN CHAOTIC STATE

Washington, Sept 1S.-Great
Britain and France have followed
the United States and have taken
steps TO get their subjects and con-
suls out of the Northern part of Mex
leo.
The gravity of the situation is ad-
mitted. Fear is entertained that
American. British and French citizens
will come to harm and their vast
property holdings will be despoiled
as a result of the disturbances which
are expected to attend the lighting
between Villa and the Carranza
forces.
The French Ambas sador. NJ. JUS
serand, and Colville Barclay, British
Charge d'Affairs, called at the State
Department to-day to discuss the
outlook. Afterward it was learned
that Great Britain has instructed her
Consuls and trade agents to advise
with American officials in Mexico
and to use their discretion about
warning British subjects to leave
and about the advisability of taking
their own departure. France has ia
ken similar action.
Both England and France, 1t is
understood, are deeply concerned
over the probable fate that awaits
the property of their subjects.
II was estimated by officials of the
State Department to-day. that about
1000 American citizens are affected
by the order to leave the country. 1t
also was suggested that If these cit
liens should obey the orders of the
State Department property worth at
least $3.50, 900, 900 would be left to
the mercy of bandits and brigands.
The State Department furnishes
no plan by which this property may
be protected. All that can be done,
officials say. is that citizens may
make an inventory OF their property
and file it with the American Con-
suls and Vice Consuls. These inven-
tories will be valuable only in case
an agreement should be forced on
Mexico in the final settlement to pay
claims for damages.
During the Taft Administration
Consuls were instructed to get such |
Inventories of properties and file
them at the consulates. 1t is re-
garded as likely that the American
Consuls will get the latest informa-
lion on the subject.
An ofiieial of the department said
.o-day that great destruction of
property is to be expected He said
hat the advance of Obregon's army
would be through territory about
70 miles wide; that the villistas
probably would retreat. and that on
'ither side of the regular lines of ad-
'ance guerrilla warfare would pro-
eed for a month.
There was no way. he said. of pro-
Getting American citizens and their
property rights except by the
withdrawal of the citizens and
making memoranda for future
laims for damages. The depart

SOME U. S. PAPERS coURT1NG CENSORSHIP

Some of the metropolitan newspapers, while
openly committed to the policy of standing by the
President III the present crisis, consciously or
ub-consciously inflaming the public mind with
columns and columns of printed matter, which, all
too plainly between the lines, encourages the idea
of our going to war. Cartoons and written matter
are to large extent keeping alive the resentment
naturally felt in the minds and hearts of Americans
on receipt of the first of the sinking of the
Lusitania with more than one hundred Americans
aboard. This plan of at least some of the metrJ-
politan daes hardly doveails with their professed
intention to uphold the hands of at least to do
nothing to embarrass the Washington administra
. ton in the present very delicate situation.
Dispatches from Washington made it very clear
that it is the desire of the President and his advis-
ors that the Government is the people of
this nation,-take no steps with relation to Ger
many save after the most mature and dspassionae
judgment 1t will be recalled that for several days
after the sinking of the Lustana the President him
self and other responsible Washington officials
wisely refrained from making any statements what
soever bearing on the sinking of the liner on the
ground that it not occasion for hasty con-
cusion.
This determination on Washington's part to
weigh well every phase of the situation and to per-
NIT public sentiment to crystalline before deter
mining course of procedure, was practically
unanimously endorsed by the press of the country
yet we now some of the newspapers of the great
cities printing matter that can only serve to preju-
dice the public mind and to direct sentiment into
channels not calculated to encourage sane and un-
biased judgment.
Certainly matter of such vital Importance as
the question whether shall be drawn into the
worldwide war is worthy of the most dspassionate
consideration, and yet that kind of consideration
will soon become impossible if some of the news
papers continue to print infammaory matter as
they are doing now. The President s announced
intention to hold Germany to strict accounra,
bility" carries with it the injunction to the Amer.
lean public to suspend judgment at least until Ger
many makes accounting or until Germany let's
it be known that she will refuse to account for her
alleged actions.
Much has been said in this country in criticism
of censorship of the newspapers in the countries
now at war, but of our big city daes now
are printing the sort of matter which proves that
censorship may ultimately be necessary in our own

latter expected to acquire, parrot fashion, the
tongues of mankind.
From his study of gorillas the noted phlologist
has drawn the conclusion that it will be with these
animals that man will first converse and thus get
the keys for learning other languages of the lower
animals He expresses much respect for the goril-
las, and points out that the males of the species
never abandon their wives. Presumably when
spoken intercourse is established between man and
his supposed relatives, the gorillas the latter will
have much of benefit to say to the former on ques
tions of ethics. Man is perhaps sinful because
he has not been able to profit by verbal intercourse
with the better behaved representatives Of lower
orders of animal life.
"A satisfactory way of getting into communication
with other living things might be thought to be
for to learn their languages, if, as is insisted
by Investigators, human beings are not the only
animals who can communicate thoughts among
themselves. Yet it appears from various accounts
about dogs that some of these animals have already
been learning the English language like talking

RUSS|APREPARED TO exact
REVENGE FOR HER Defeat

London, May ia Reuter- dis
patch from Petrograd gives the follow
ing official statement regarding Rus
sian military operations:
In the fighting between the Wis
tula and the Oarpathians May 8 and
8, the Germans planned to break our
front by the lightning rapidity of the
blow directed at the neighborhood of
Krosno by seven divisions of the flow
er of the German army after a heavy
artillery preparation.
"On general front of forty miles
the enemy gathered quarters of
the Austrian army, one-ninth of the
German army, the first reserve half the
contingents of the second reserve-be-
sides eight divisions from the Serbian
front, several new Austrian divisions
and twenty infantry divisions as well
as eight new divisions and nine cav
airy divisions from the western front.
Only one of our armies participated in
the first attack.
The Germans gained no tactical
success. Our reserves, by a flank blow,
enabled our army to rearrange line
OF advantageous positions eliminating
all fear of final retreat. Our army has
received strong reinforcements and is
ready to exact hearty revenge. Our
falling back was carried out methodic-
ally. The enemy's loss was heavy.
when our troops occupied the
mountainous sections which the enemy
hold to-day the enemy's official COM
munications declared these positions
were of no Importance.

Terror in a Village

Burning and pillaging as they went,
the Russian troops swept into Memel.
As terrified villagers gazed from their
windows, the soldiers marched through
Memel's main street smashing in the
store windows, stopping only. long
enough to help themselves to tobacco,
liquor and food. Memel, however, had
had "a hours notice, and had utilized
the time for partial fight. Terrified
villagers from the outlying districts had
come painting into town with stories of
dwellings looted and burned, relatives
and friends seized and borne off to Rus
sia by Russian civilians following the
wake of the soldiers, and of atrocities
too terrible to mention. Eight thou

to one final stand of the Landsturm at
the Karlsbrueche with machine gun,

curving direction southwark toward

A Valiant Prussian Band

The war for months had been little
more than rumor for the inhabitants
of the little city of Memel, tucked
away in northernmost East Prussia on
the Baltic. Beyond the mobilization of
900 cf the ''landsturm' to take the
place of the regular troops things had
gone on much the same as usual. Then,
suddenly, on the 18th of March, there
came the report that the Cossacks were
coming from the North and the East,
and Memel began to get its first direct
impression Of the gigantic conflict. In
the days that followed it was to get
other and more terrible impressions.
While officials frantically appealed for
help from the military authorities, the
little band of Landsturm slowly fell
back from one defensive position to
another before the oncoming Russians,
made one final but ineffective stand at
the outlying village of Althof, and on
Thursday night, March IS, were forced
to let the Russians enter.

gruesome work was still in progress
when an Associated Press correspon-
dent reached Memel. One of the first
to reach the scene was Ober- President
Won Batocki, of the province of East
Prussia, and he began at once to sift
out the truth from the mass of rumor
and hearsay regarding the invasion.
Shortly he determined that between
500 and 600 persons in the Memel part
of the province had been carried off
to Russia.

AUTHORS JUDGING OTHER AUTHORS

Plagiarism seems to have become rather common
among men of letters for the suggestion has been
made that committee of authors be appointed to
pass judgment members of their profession who
make free use of the ideas and the words of their
predecessors. There are in fact ten or twelve cases
of alleged plagiarism in the courts of the country
at the present time. Conscientious novelists and
dramatists apparently are of the opinion that it
is time they take some action to prevent further
pilfering by their more reckless fellows
The proposed committee would have as its object
the careful examination of all writer's accused by
other writer's of appropriating the latters literary
work and passing it off as their own. 1t seems,
however, that comparatively few of the plagarists
could thus be brought to justice since good many
of the authors whose ideas are plagarized by pres
ent day magazine contributors and book producers
have long been in their graves, and do not care
in the least what is done with their works. Living
authorities on literary matters would have to pre-
fer the charges against the thieves in behalf of the
deceased victims of the thefts and little Joy could
be had from such tattling
Should the committee plagiarism ever be
established the defendants brought before it would
surely be deserving of compassion. Men of letters
are as rule merciless to their contemporaries espe
caly when they are in positions superior to those
contemporaries, and even though those positions
are superior ones merely in their own estimations
Poets have had their severest critics in other poets
1t was from the fellows of his profession that Walt
Whitman won most contempt, and contemporary
poets were among Poe's least appreciatve and most
severely critical readers. An author who is a pla
giarist might be able to go through trial in a
court of law without much discontinue, but he
could not pass through an eyamina tion hv contem

Waiting for Reinforcements

Few of the fugitives had had time
to bring any food, and on the narrow
strip of sand there was nothing on
which they could subsist. The bitter
winter weather that had made the
flight so terrible, however, proved to be
their salvation, for it froze the shell
tered water between the sand and the
mainland so that supplies could be
sledged across in sufficient quantity
to keep soul and body together. Ig
norant of the fate that might have be-
fallen those they had left behind, suf-
fering terribly in the bitter weather,
the fugitives waited, hoping desperate
ly that the reinforcements for which
they had appealed so earnestly had ar
rived to drive the Russians out. There
they remained week, or for four days
after the invaders had been expelled
with great losses.

Looted Delicatessen Stores

For three days the Russian troops
camped about the town. Their swoop
on Memcl seemed to have been inspired
by no tactical reasons, for they did not
sink ships in the land-locked harbor, nor
fortify themselves. Germany's threat
that Russian towns would be destroyed
if they continued to burn down Ger
man villages is believed to have re-
strained them from destroying .Memel.
Instead they cleaned out virtually
every delicatessen store, every provis-
ion market and every wine and liquor
establishment in Memel. Individual sol
diers,, prowling about, entered the
homes of inhabitants and added to
their fear by their depredations and
their threats.
