U. S. Policy Unchanged as Result Of
Duval Vests Report, Mr..
Bryan Says.

The attitude of the Washington gov
ernment on the Mexican situation has
not been changed as a result of the re-
port by Duval West. who visited the
factional leaders as President Wilson s
personal representative.
Secretary Bryan said today the Mexi-
can policy of the administration is un-
altered. and that Duval Vests report
will not be made public.
President Wilson has been unable to
receive Mr. Vests report in person as
yet, but the envoy has talked briefly
with Secretary Bryan several times. II
is assumed he will rema in in Washing
ton until President Wilson is able
again to take up the Mexican problem
Secretary Bryan waved aside IN
quiries as to whether a change IN pof-
cy toward Mexico was likely at some
future time because of Mr.. Vests re-
port.
Dispatches today to the Carranza
agency from Vera Cruz say the Lapata
forces are being withdrawn from Mexi-
co City. and that the capital is belng
left with practically no garrison. Car

in the outskirts of Monterey.

sembled in the making of this report
will be used in outlining better

not have the facilities OF caring for

value in enabling ali rural communi-

disease by showing what should be

Washington, Dec. 13.-What the
country needed, Senator 7. p. Gore
of Oklahoma told the National River
and Harbor Congress in an address
today, was few conspicuous pro-
iects through which the transporta.
ton systems could be co-ordinated,
similar to the practice in European
countries His resolution directed to
ascertaining the feasibility of a great
inland waterway from New York to
New Orleans, by linking the Hudson
with the Mississippi, he said, was n
step in that direction and when the
main projects were proved, it would
be no difficulty to obtain appropria-
ator said that he had not been able
to vote for any of the river and
harbor bills for the reason that while
they contained good projects, they
also contained much that was bad.
I'VE spend $205,0OO,OOO per year
on the public roads, but don't get
anywhere said the senator, because
it completes nothing save in spots,
SO it is with river and harbor appro-
priations In Europe, where the peo-
pie own both the railroads and the
waterways, it is not the problem that
il is here What we want are a few
conspicuous projects upon which we
can center our attention, with an
elimination of the useless ones, and
coordination of our transportation
will be more easily accomplished.
. Senator Gore said that he wanted
to levy an inheritance tax to be used
for internal improvements. The Uni
ted States has made great strides, he
said, toward solving the problem of
production, but had hardly started in
effectively solving the problem of
distribution.
Representative Davenport of Okla

Health and Business

1t is the business policy of the Beth
lehem steel works to arrest the prog
ress of disease among its thousands
of employees at the earliest possible
moment. Even the slightest physical
injury receives instant attention, for
it has been found that often an injury
no bigger than the bite of a mosquito
proves more dangerous than the ampu-
tation of a leg. Each employe is sent
to the company's hospital for treat
ment, and paid for his loss of time
This spares suffering, saves many
lives, prevents mutilation of human
bodies, and incidentally earns large
sums of money for the Bethlehem
steel works Such a policy would earn
dividends for every family in Okla
homa that would adopt it. knowledge
of how to avoid preventable disease
is what the Oklahoma state board of
health, and many other agencies are
trying to place within reach of the
people. The latter serve not only them
selves but the entire state in avail
ing themselves of this information
and applying it to their daily needs.

after the publication of the two i'm

prophecy of a worldwide cotton fam

develop new fields in India, Egypt and
the Soudan. He argues that the tenn
porary decline in prices following the

The census bureaus figures on gin

The ginnings to December 1st this

theory that markets are a sale on the
publication of good news, many of the
local traders cut out short contracts
as soon as the governments figures
were available. These offerings how
ever, were readily absorbed and con

have unquestionably strengthened the
technical position of the market, while
the soundness of basic conditions, as
evidenced by a smaller supply than

steadily increasing demand, would
seem to point pretty clearly to higher
prices for the staple in the long run.
