impossible for diplomatic representa-

by going to Vera Cruz, which they

action be construed as formal recog-

Texas Governor Wants Big Loan for
Passage Of Legislation.

Governor James f. Ferguson of
Texas told representatives of several
large insurance companies which are
seeking to return to Texas that they
probably could assure passage of
necessary legislation by agreeing to
lend $50, 900, 900 in Texas in the next
five years at 6 per cent. The regular
Texas interest rate is now s per cent.
The large insurance companies al
most without exception withdrew
from Texas a few years ago under
the Robertson law. Legislation to
permit them to return by cancelling
the penalties of millions which they
would be asked to pay under this law
is before the present legislature.

At Tatoosh there was a report OF

AGENT Of President Wilson VIII Can
ON All Mexican Heads.

The e~xpediency of early recogni-
ton By the United States of one OF
the political factions in Mexico as the

Secretary Bryan announced that IL
had been decided TO send Duvall

confidential agent of President Will
son. Mr.. Bryan said West will visit
all parts of Mexico. and undoubtedly
will confer With Valla, Carranza,
Zapata and the military authorities
now in Mexico City.
Mr.. Bryan asserted West was go
ing TO Mexico "as Paul Fuller had
gone" II was understood at the
time of Fuller's mission that the ad-
ministration regarded conditions as
ripe for settlement.
It is known the department thinks

Murmurs Against War Are Being
Made by German Socialist.

German Socialists. while lot de-
sirous of presenting any partisan
issues or OF taking any other action
during the present crisis which might
initiate against the harmonious CO.
operation Of all parties. have surren-
dered none of their views. This Is
shown by the attitude Of the Social
list members OF the Prussian Diet.
which began a session. Herr Hirseh.
a Socialist delegate, read on behalf
of his party a declaration, which Is
in part as follows:
The Social-Democratic party
maintains Its opposition. based on
principle, &c the former government
policy, which policy has remained In
all material things unchanged. The
party, however. refrains in this criti-
cal time from introducing discussions
Of a polemie nature into the consider
alton OF the budget on Its first read
ing"
Herr Hirsch added that bis party
later would call attention to COM
plants %coneering the provisions for
soldiers and for dependents. the food
supply for the nation. and restrie-
tons on the free expression of
thought. He could not permit the
occasion to pass, he continued, with
Out giving expression TO the demand
OF his party that the government. in
consequence of the situation brought
about by the war. should coneede
certain measures desired by the great
mass OF the people. These included
the demand that the police cas-
their battle against the labor move
ment in general, and in particular
against the Social Democrats and
other Socialist organizations.
Herr Hirsch said that his party
was opposed to political oppression.
but that the basis of all political re-
forms must be their equal appliea-
ton TO all minorities as in the case
of the Danes and Poles.
His party had hoped, Herr Hirsch
continued. that the government
would fulfill it's duty by granting
uniform suffrage with the secret bal
lot, at the session of last October.
He mentioned the desire of the So
eial-Democrats for an honorable
peace, and concluded:
I'VE know that this war is desired
by the people IL none of the belliger-
ent lands; that it's end Is everywhere
longed for by the people. We cher
ish the confidence that the voices de-
handing peace will grow more nu-
merous in all ~belligerent lands, will
make themselves heard in influential
quarters. and that under the infiu-
ence OF the desire for peace, especial
ly of the laboring classes of all lands,
an sured peace may come speedily,
the w%ell-being of the German peo-
rle and of all humanity"
Herr von H~eydebrand replied to
Herr Hirsch on behalf OF the nom
Socialist parties. He declared that
the present moment was not a suit
able n for advancing special wish
es or complaints. The situation war
one which demanded that the entire
Prussian people show itself united.

united.
