TELLS THE PRESIDENT OF WAR

TELLS THE PRESIDENT OF WAR.
Miss Jane Adams of Chicago, rep
resenting the women's peace confer

Hague, spent more than an hour at
the White House last week, telling
President Wilson in detail Of conver'
sations she had with the high officials
of the various countries on the ques
tion of peace-in which Mr.. Wilson
seemed greatly interested, and asked
numerous questions.
In referring to the various efforts
now under way by the neutral ma
tions for the institution of mediation
Miss Adams said: II understand that
Holland and other neutral nations
have offered their services in media
tion, and that Pope Benedict also is
anxious to be Of any service possible
in bringing about peace, but it's impos
sible to predict what will come ol
these efforts"

President and my opinion that neither
Carranza nor Villa were capable of
feeling the influence of lofty motives
of patriotism, and that they would not
heed his message. The end has justi-
fed my opinion.
Il am convinced that neither expos
tulation, entreaty nor advice will ever
have any effect on those who are now
assuming the leadership in Mexico,
and fear the sword is the only argu-
ment that can have any weight. l be-
lieve, sooner or later, some form of
Intervention must be pursued by our
country. The greatest difficulty will
be for our President to find a Mexican
who can be placed at the head of af-
fairs, unselfish and patriotic, and for
a time, at least it will be necessary
for an American with plenary powers
to deal with the situation"

CHICAGO IN MOURNING.


AS six hundred victims of the East.
land disaster were buried on Wednes.
day the entire city of Chicago was in
mourning. The Eastland excursion
steamer on the Chicago river rolled
over on its side at the dock last Fri
day morning after it had taken on
board, nearly two thousand five hun
dred excursion passengers Of the West
ern Electric Company employees. Not
all of the bodies have yet been recov-
cred. It is estimated that fully fifteen
hundred persons lost their lives by
drowning, as they were imprisoned
when the accident occurred. Wednes-
day was proclaimed a day of mourn
ing. There were not enough hearses
to convey the dead to the cemeteries.
Ice wagons, coal wagons, and even hay
racks. were draped in mourning and
pressed into service to convey the
dead. In some instances whole fami-
lies were wiped out. A grave large
enough to contain five and eight men,
bers of the family were dug by the
grave diggers. The down-pour of rain
added additional gloom to Chicago's
grief. Since the tragedy occurred,
various city officials in Chicago, are
attempting to locate the blame for
what seems to have been an extraordi-
nary and avoidable disaster.
