BERLIN, Via Amsterdam, Aug. 80.
Eleven days have now elapsed since
the sinking Of the liner Arabic, but the

that it was destroyed by German
submarine. The Arabic sank on Aug

10 days 10 get report from a SUD

In German official circles the alb
sence of a direct report that a sub
marine sank the Arabic is taken as
confirmation of the belief that the
liner was sunk by a mine.

WILSON HAD NO TIME.

After Mr.. Wilson had been elected president but be-
fore he had been inaugurated, President Taft wrote him
a letter setting forth the difficulties of the Mexican situa-
ton. The letter was written shortly after the assassination
of Madero and the %usurpation of Huerto. In view of the
fact that the Mexican question was likely to be a serious
problem to the incoming administration Mr.. Taft wished
to consult with the newly elected president and be guided
by his desires wherever possible, even going so far as to
state that he would assume the entire responsibility him.
self if the president-elect so desired. President Taft sug-
gested a conference between Secretary of War Stimson
and Mr.. Wilson. Mr.. Wilson replied that he had no time
for such a conference. Presumably his time was entirely
occupied in consulting with deserving Democrats" in or,
der that none would be overlooked in the distribution OF
the spols.
This matter is interesting as showing the attitude of
Wilson in the beginning. After having been elected presi-
dent he had no time for consultation on the Mexican situa-
ton. The matter Of supreme Importance was the matter
of patronage. In the beginning patronage was the prob
lem and it has occupied the presidential mind ever since.
1t is little wonder that we have the Mexican problem with
us still. 1t is little wonder that the policy of President
Wilson in regard to Mexico has provoked the severest
criticism by Democrats, Progressives and Republicans.
1t Is little wonder that the Mexican people do not take us
seriously.-Caldwell Tribune.
