u. S. Government
Not To Be Represented

Washington, Sept. 9.-Althougn
Treasury officials and members OF the
Federal Reserve Board are interested
in the outcome of the meetings be-
tween the Anglo-French financial com
mission and American bankers, II rs
not probable that the government Will
in any way figure in the conferences.
Neither Secretary McAdoo Of the
Treasury Department nor the Federal
Reserve Board, has been officially no
tilted of the commissions coming or
asked 10 participate in the negotla-
tons. Officials mere think for them TO
take any part in deliberations when
concern only the Allies might be IN
terpreted as an unneutral act.
Ii is realized that the establishment
of large credit fund in the United
States for the benefit Of the Aires
NAV result eventually in the redls-
count of acceptances based on the ex-
por.ation Of goods bought with that
fund and destined for the Allies. The
Reserve Board, however, has taken the
position that il has no power TO pre-
vent the rediscount of such accept,
nnces when the paper offered is sound
and conforms TO the boards regula-
lions. The same rule would be applied
in case OF acceptances based on eN-
portation OF goods 10 belligerents otner
than the Allies. and II is said that such
acceptances probably have already been
rediscounted by Federal Reserve banks
although the fact that the goods were
destined TO such belligerents has no'
been apparent.

SWISS HEAD CALLS
NEUTRALS TO UNITE
Says Their Action Can Bring
Peace When Time Comes.

Paris. Sept. 9.-Neutral nations are
justified in protesting against war be-
cause they are its victims, in the opin-
ion Of DR.. Giuseppe Motta, President
OF Switzerland, who expressed his
views in a conversation with Etienne
Lamy,. the French academiclan, which
appears in the Petit Parisien."
Past wars affected only belliger-
ents. but nowadays, owing TO growth,
the change in ideas, habits and wealth,
there is a community among peoples.
The rupture OF this community by war
between certain states affects all the
rest
"The will of neutrals is less respect
ed in time OF war. II Is not, then, suf-
fcient that they await the end of the
conflict. For them pRssiveness has
ceased 10 be duty, and energy has be-
come the proper policy. They have a
right 10 raise their voice against war
because they are its victims. II Is lie
Ultimate for them TO unite their inhu-
ences because they are injured in COM
mon but the hour has not come for
that effort Words. like spent bullets,
would glance off the armor OF bellig-
erents without penetrating il. but ar
NOR finally becomes heavy for the
strongest arms. -,
The first sign OF that fatigue VIII
not find Switzerland irattentive or hes
liant. She will act in concert win
other neutral governments, convinced
ms she is that the cause Of peace is the
cause of all. Necessary peace is no.
one which will be glorious, for II can
not be glorious y. l ,It A. in .n.ets."

No Powerful Faction Now
Left to Oppose the
First Chief.
CONFERENCE MUST
CONSIDER CLAIMS
Coup Carefully Planned to
Strengthen His Demand for
Recognition.

Washington. Sept. o. General Villa
has evacuated Torrcon. according 70
advices to the State Department b .
day from Laredo. This indicates. Of
fcials believe, the complete elimina-
tion OF the Villsta faction from SER
Gus consideration. and may change 'h2
programme Of the Par-American con-
ference.
Villa and mis- partisans had agreed
10 join the conference. while Carranza
had refused, demanding practically
complete recognition for his own fac
ton. This triumph over villa, th'n.
marks a timely victory fox the Car
rama arms, as it leaves no single
powerful faction opposed to him. 1t
has been known that Carranza was
planning just such Il coup to fore
stall the plan of the Pan-AmericAn
conference. His reply to the invita-
ton TO join the conference is now eX-
pected promptly
The State Department opposed rec
ignition Of Carranze for several rca
sons, among them his repeated refu-
sails to fall in with the policies Of the
administration. At the time Of The
Niagara Falls convention the delegates
waited for weeks in the vain hope
that he would join in selecting a
neutral government.
The policy of the United States has
been based on the belief that any
peace founded on the recognition OF
a Mexican faction against the opposi-
ton OF the others could not be last
ing and would work Injustice. All
the present factions, il I. reld, did
their share toward oy"rthrowing
Huerta. and should therefore. share
in the triumph. Secretary Lansing,
not long before the last Pan-Amcrican
conference. declared: "The revolution
has been won-what is now going IN
is merely struggle among the ele-
ments of the revolution ITSELF
There is no doubt that Villa can con-
niue to harass CarranZa, but only IN
tie sense thGJ as rGnC Of armed men
could carry on 4 campaign OF brigand-
are in a country Ike Mexico, and many
officials say this government cannot *
pect Carranza TO wait for recognition
until all brigands are suppressed.
The Pan-American conference Is OK
pectcd to reconvene within few days,
rama will be taken up for the first
time in a serious way.
State Department reports say that
train service between Laredo and Mex
leo City will be re-established soon.
Trains have already arrived from Sal
tillo. This is regarded as proof that
Carranza hns not only taken Toreron,
but is in control Of all territory along
the railroad.
Ar intimatiCh that the government
was considering bringing SUITS against
several Mexican newspapers printed
along the border on the charge of in
citing rebellion was made to-day by
Assistant Attorney General Warren. 1t
was said at the department that there
was no desire to curb the press, but
that articles which the department be
lieves fall within the scope of the law
will be presented to the grand juries.
