SYDNEY.

In Sydney, Australia, midsummer
arrives about the first OF January and
the thermometer plays around among
the seventies, although II mas peen
known to soar as high as 106. And
It never freezes In August winters.
Sydney is as far south Of the equa-
tor as Norfolk Is north Of It. but that
town which hides around the very
farthest corner Of the biggest island
In the. world has more equitable eli
mate than the cities Of the same lati-
tude on the Atlantic. seaboard of
America. They represent a mean ne
tween the climates of the Atlantic
and Pacific Coast Of the United States.
1t is through a torturous, channel
that ships gain admission to the mar
Dor at Sydney. Then that body Of
water spreads out like the palm of
the hand with its fingers representing
deep indentations Between these
fingers are hnnchbacked ridges of
land, which. In this narrow strip
along the coast, are covered with lux
uriant timber.
The city itself is up and down like
a choppy seats buildings being To-
Gated Some In depressfons and some
upon craggy hills-At distance CIV
ing the Impression Of the remains OF
the ruins OF giant structure of old.
AS one approaches the spires and tow
.ers take shape and the villas among
the trees on the points Of land reveal
their beauties and the commercial
structures Of the hills become the
hives OF commerce.
It's harbor is the particular pride
Of Sidney. and there is not 9 better
in all the world. Its many indenta-
tons are the pleasure places Of much
Of the big. barren island. for little but
the rim. Of Australia Is green and its
residents appreciate the advantages
Of regions Of water and trees. Pleas
ure craft swarm in and out Of these
deep bays, where the picnickers Of
this British people Of the far-away
take their sport.
The only possibility Of disappoint-
ment is the occasional sandstorm
from the interior which may roll
down upon even this coast retreat and
bear with II great clouds Of dust from
the desert. Then is the time for re-
treat indoors and for sealong o,
houses that the all-preyading dirt.may
be excluded.

More lYatchfnl Waiting.

It is disheartening to note that
Presid dent Wilson, in his new negotta-
tons with Mexico, appears willing
to emphasize the fact that s'forcible
Intervention Is not meant" The
great Ran-American movement to
solve the Mexican problem seems to
have twisted itself into another fine
scheme Of moral suasion. We are
to appeal to the Mexicans as men
and brethren to behave themselves,
and we are to give our active moral
support" to any practicable plan Of
constitutional government, and to a
new president. Then we shall settle
down hopefully and prayerfully to
q new. siege of watchful waiting.
That Is all.
Our warships have gone to
Mexico. But so tender is the presi-
dent Of Mexican feelings and SO
sEoitctt ops- of the acquiescence OF the
South American republics. that the
insurance was sent N advance that
they were going to Vera Cruz merely
TO protect foreign citizens. 1t is
all humiliating and unnecessary
confession to Mexico that our Med-
can gun Is not loaded.
The mournful truth about the pres
Eideni's entire Mexican policy, or
1sertes Of changing policies, is that he
has at times employed the language
iof force only to descend to mere
vocal evasions when confronted by
THE alternative Of using the instru-
lmentalities Of force. There is no
opinion in Mexico that Mexico will
lbe ;required to do what we demand
that Mexico do. Carranza IS even
now defiant and insulting, and villa
Is apparently complaining because he
Is beading losing cause. The in
lection of outiawry has extended
across the Mexican line and the whole
TEXAS borderland is seething catil.
dron Of terrorism and revolution.
Mexico is not theory, to be dis
cussed with fine phrases and AGA
idemic loftiness. It is a horrible fact,
and our squirniing ana dod gings iantd
our; comforting self-assurances that
MEXICO is not our business, do not
help us to do our duty.

The governments suits were filed
about two years ago. That against
the Prince line and others charged that
the companies composed the o-called
Brazilian conferences: The defendants
OF the other suit were all members of
the so-called far eastern conference, it
was alleged.
Conspiracy Charged.
In each case the government charged
that for some years the companies had
engaged in conspiracy to restrain
trade in ocean carriage between ports
in the United States and specified for
eign ports and to monopolize such
trade. The alleged unlawful acts OF
the o-called far eastern conference
were confined to the transportation Of
freight while the suit against the
Prince line and others charged that
the conspiracy extended to passenger
traffic as well.
In dismissing the case against tho
Prince line and others. which include
a British line and two German lines,

WILD SESSION
IN WHEAT TRADE
Peace Rumors Cause Sudden prop 81
8 Cents in May option-subssqusn4
Re- action Carries Prices to NsvJ
Record Level.

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Peace rumors dleaft
a sudden blow to the high price OF
wheat. At the outset as much as 3
cents a bushel was knocked off the
May delivery. in which, however,
transactions were relatively small. The
July option. in which business cen-
tered, was given a setback of cents
at the opening. May sold as low al
$1.57, whereas the close yesterday was
s1.6o. The break however. was only
temporary, and May wheat soon
touched new high record. "
Fear of the opening of the Dar-
6anelles had considerable to do with
the wildness of the fluctuations. Res
ports tho that several of the forts de-
Tending the straits had been de-
molished were not fully credited. Tho
same was true Of peace talk which
rested on gossip. During the break.
May touched s1.56%, fall Of moro
than cents.
Contrary to what might have been
expected the scene in the pit gave
little hint of any greater strain than
usual.
On the rebound May whea. jumped
eventually to s1.66. making the range
covered by that option II cents. q
swing seldom equalled in so short a
time. July dropped 8 cents to s1.3s.
but recovered to $1.40.

but that he had been asked by labor
men to appear as voluntary witness.
When the hearing opened Jerome D..
Greene resumed the stand. His entire
time was devoted to the work of the
Rockefellert foundation, he asserted.
The word publicity" Mr. Greene said,
had been given black eye because
Of methods, by which editorial and
news space used to be purchased in
newspapers. The honest publicity as
dispensed by Ivy j. Lee" the witness
thought. was perfectly fair and proper.
The foundation now employs only
three clerks. The number may "be in
creased later when the foundation is
little older" Mr.. Greene said.
Greene admitted that the charter
was broad in scope and that under it
there was nothing to prevent the
foundation from engaging in propa-
ganda against trade unions or conduct
ing campaign against compensation
for Workmen, but, he asserted, there
was not the remotest chance that such
things would ever be DONE He declared
there was no ground on which to base
the suggestion that the charter might
be unconditional
AS to conditions in Colorado the wit
ness saw no reason why the foundation
should interest itself more in workers
than any other place where there ap-
peared to be need OF assistance The
trouble there he believed to be eco
nonlic.
Mr.. Greene said that since the state
of the Rockefeller foundation about
year ago, the foundation had dispensed
in gifts about s1.S34,OoO on it's own be-
half. and s3,116.ooo on behalf of Mr..
Rockefeller. Sr.

Chicago, Feb. 3-Practically every
piece Of fire fighting apparatus in 1.-The
loop responded today to an alarm
from the Kaiserhof hotel, whose upper
stories were attacked by a fire that
routed guests. Thousands Of specta-
tors crowded the street. blocking traf-
fic. There seemed but little. change Of
the fire harming the new Kairesrhof, a
skyscraper adjoining. but some fear
was felt for other buildings in the
block. including the Victoria hotel.
Among the guests driven out was
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation Of Labor.
Mr.. Gompers had just opened a con-
ference with Ave other labor leaders
in room on the sixth floor when Miss
Mary Murphy. switchboard girl, who
remained at her post. telephoned the
alarm to every room. The federation
head hurried out, leaving his baggage.
and hastened to telegraph his people in
Washington OF his safety. The labor
leaders all escaped by elevator.
The flames were kept within the
eighth and tenth floors and shortly at
ter noon were extinguished without
having spread to adjoining buildings.

rnents Abroad-speaks Before Cham.
Der Of Commerce Meeting.

Washington. Feb. Samuel McRob-
erts. vice president of the National City
bank, addressing the third annual con-
vention of the chamber of commerce in
the U. s.. which began here today
urged greater security for our invest
ments abroad.
Tn the orient. in the Caribbean, in
the northern part of South America,
in Mexico" he said, I'VE have the op-
portunity to do great constructive
work, and by so doing win place Of
our own in the future commerce of
those islands. The uncertainty of pro-
lection stands squarely in the way. II
you would do anything in these coun-
tries the standing advice is to get
under the English, French or German
flag
las long as question can be raised
as to the property rights of Ameri
cans with respects to investments
made outside the territory of the Unit
ed States our foreign commerce will
languish.
You need not talk to more than a
half dozen men on this subject before
being confronted with such questions
as. Are we going to send good Ameri-
cans into foreign countries to be ShOt
just to protect somebody's invest
ments? Are we going to incur the
risk of war for the sake of little
trader Are we going to turn our
navy into a. collection ageney?' These
questions may express narrow point
of view but they are significant eofsthe
general trend Of thought.
"Frem the fii'st,. at,efforts to improve
the consular service and make more
effective all government agencies for
disseminating information Of foreign
trade conditions have met with hearty
approval of the public. But when ac
tion looking toward the aid of COM
merce thru the plan of the state that
might involve this country politically
with any foreign power, has been pro-
posed or instituted. the American pub
lie has baked and the plan has failed"
Closer co-opera .ipn between business
men and the government was urged by
President John H. Fahey in his annual
address. He suggested that many Of
the commercial treaties Of the United
States were unsuitable and that if the
new federal trade commission would
not perform the duties Of a tariff COM
mission a means must be found to do
this work
