interested in the proposed ordinance
governing the jitney bus traffic which
is to go before the common council Of
the city at its regular meeting tonight

drivers at the last meeting OF the
committee and has been prepared with
a view TO meet the favorable comment
OF the council members.
1t provides for Il license fee Of $40
year. and fails TO request a bond
with the city from each driver. City

expressed views Of the council mem
bers. favOrs the bus men in practically
every detail The license zee has
been fixed at a minimum so that every
reliable driver in the city may meet

ance is the section which states that

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Sept. Ia
One United States soldier was killed
and two others were wounded when
an American cavalry patrol was at
tackled on the border by Mexican raid
ers early today.
Private Arthur Craft was killed and
First Sergeant James A. Wallace and
Trumpeter Harold FOrney were seri-
ously wounded.
After an hours fighting the Mexi-

innate recognition of Carranza, will

can ENJOYS meet with Sec'y Lansing
probably tomorrow, to consider the
replies TO the invitation to the fac

eral peace conference. Military con-
ditions have changed to such an ex-
tent that some at least OF the diplO-
mats, who have been unalterably op-
posed to Carranza, now believe that
he dominates the situation
Even the officials in the govern
ment who in the past have been sturdy
advocates of Villa, now agree that the

the last month have been SO material

thrown their strength TO him. This
is especially true of the elements that
have been powerful in Mexico City.
The offer of Carranza to adjust all
Of the claims affecting Mexico in a
manner that will be satisfactory to
the United States has had a strong
influence III changing sentiment here
in his favor. In the past he has made
it plain that he did not believe any
of the existing obligations should be
taken care of by the Mexican govern
ment, and this alienated from him the
support Of certain financial leaders
which he is now sure to get
1t is expected that when the diplo-
matte conference is resumed the Bra
lillian ambassador will advocate the
ceed to the border and investigate the
claims of CarranZa that his govern
ment is now in such position that it
can wipe out anarchy and brigan-
dage practically over night if the en-
barge on arms to his political OppO-
nentS is restored.
If this is found to be the case then
the question of recognition can be
taken up. The Villista agency here
had ready for issuance today
lengthy statement contradicting the
Carranza claims, but it was not ee-
pected to influence the conferees.
Villas forces at TOrreOn have be-
come utterly demoraliZed, state de-
partment advices from Ell Paso today
said. In the recent fighting Villas
men have thrown away their arms and
fled in disorder. They have given up
town after town without the semblance
of a fight. Four provision trains have
been abandoned.
All indications are that the head OF
the convention forces is fast losing his
hold. Frightful conditions are report
ed at Durango where the branch OF
the Bank of Chihuahua has closed.

January Record of Foreign Trade.

While the January record OF exports and
Imports show trade balance for the month in
favor OF the United States, the figures have
some significance that may escape attention I'M
less closely analysed On the surface, Il would
seem to indicate an enormous growth, but un-
derneath IL shows unhealthy condition.
While the sales from the United States to
Europe have enormously increased, the trade
with the South American countries from which
so much has been expected, is less than IL was
a year ago. This must mean either that the
South Americans buying less or that our
hastily organized campaign TO capture that bust
ness has not produced the results hoped for
An immense outpouring Of foodstuffs and
other army supplies has brought the total vol
ume Of exports well up. 20 the normal figure
The United Kingdom has been the most liberal
purchaser, exports to the English ports having
increased more than $40, 900 900, or we'll over
90 per cent above January OF last year Others
of the allies have bought literally from us, but
the greatest falling off in imports has been from
England and France. II is worthy Of note that
our receipts in January OF goods from Germany
was less than IS per cent under the figures of
a year ago, but our shipments to Germany had
fallen more than 80 per cent.
Trade currents OF the world are still greatly
disturbed by the unnatural circumstances. The
balance in favor OF the United States is a natural
outcome OF the abnormal requirements Of
Europe for war materials, and so rests on
very unstable foundation.

Russia's Age-LOng Dream.

From the springbo OF necessity Great
Britain has executed a somersault in a national
policy that has been the rule of action for over
century,
Ever since Britannia achieved supremacy on
the seas British opposition to Russian ambitions
have been consistent and persistent. One of the
great ambitions OF the Romanoff dynasty has
been, and is today, warm-water port which
would afford year round outlet for the huge
resources of the empire and unchallenged free
dom in the commerce OF the world This has
been the unrealized dream of Russian monarchs
from Alexander I down to Car Nicholas To
this end Russia has bent its energies, and for
which she has fought two fruitless wars. Every
time the dream approached realization effective
obstacles we're placed on the bears path d.
rectly indirectly, by Great Britain.
Thirty-seven years ago this month, with its
victorious army at the back door of Constant
nople. Russia wrung from Turkey the treaty OF
San Stefano, which not only guaranteed free
navigation from the Black sea to the Mediter-
ranean, but stripped the Ottoman empire of
more territory than the Balkan states won in
the recent war. Great Britain objected to the
terms of the treaty and sent fleet of warships
into the sea of Marmora to defend Constantine
pie for the Turks and TO impress upon Russia
the advisabity Of disgorgng. Austria sided
with the British Russia was impressed. The
outcome was the congress of Berlin which
robbed Russia of the fruits of victory
With the gates OF the Dardanelles closed,
Russia turned to the far east and sought an out
let to the sea through Msnchura and Port
Arthur. Japan blocked that movement in the
war OF 1905 and Great Britain furnished most
OF the financial blocks with which the trick was
turned.
few years ago the Russian dream miraged
the Persian gulf as a haven of relief At once
the machinery OF peaceful conquest were set in
motion and their revolutions soon brought Brit
ish intriguers to the field. resulting in tho
division of Persia into two spheres of influence.
Great Britain holding the southern half and
Russia the tideless northern end.
Now the animoslties and rivalries OF CEN
| fury are buried In the trenches of war. British
and Russian armies fighting in a common
cause. The three allies must stand together 10
win. II one retires the others are lost. In
such a crisis Great Britain could do no less than
sanction Russia's age-long ambition for free nav
| igation to and from the Black sea, and the guns
OF the allied fleet are giving practical force to
an understanding which links Russia to what
ever the fates have in store for the Triple
| Entente.

The Administration and Its Task.

Taking the soundings at the mid-ocean point
OF the voyage, that ancient and experienced po-
litical mariner. Colonel Henry watterson, charts
the rest Of the course Of the ship as follows:
To least two things from now onward the
administration must address ITSELF the reduction Of
public expenditures. and the adjustment OF the
try to the changes wrought by the European war
For this work. the colonel adds, the presi-
dent will need all his frmness all his sagacity
and all his common sense, and will need to avoid
the temptation to experiment, producing faction
ism, as already seen in the shp-purchase fool
ishness."
We are inclined to accept Colonel Waiter
sons contribution as a photographer, for practi-
cally everything ahead Of us calling for govern
mental action be brought under these two
heads or by a small stretch under the last one
OF them, for the resdjustment Of the country to
conditions may be made to include the re-
duction of public expenditures 10 make them iii
curtailed revenues. For the first time in a long
time domestic problems have been almost
wholly subordnated to or swallowed up in
foreign problems. What looked like adequate
final solution Of crying social ills indus
trial abuses have suddenly been found to be
merely surface scratching because new symp-
toms have supplanted the old ones with the
world-wrenching war.
But the democrats have never shown the con-
structive statesmanship, indispensable to the
solution OF the problems confronting us. II
the democratic administration does not measure
up to the task correctly outlined by Colonel
Watterson the country will at its first oppor-
tunity summon some one else to do It,
