Washington, D. c., Nov. 23.-Will
Uncle Sam become Mexico's financial
angels This question is the absorbing
problem involved in establishing the
Carranza government.
That financial help must be given by
the United States to Mexico is admit
ted by officials. The form such aid
should take is the principal hitch. High
state department officials intimate that
the government cannot appear as a
principal in securing. credit for Car
rama. Its moral support, however, is
assured.
The modus operandi probably will be
as follows: After Carranza 3 agents
in New York have made guarded over
lures to financiers for loan, quiet
inquiries will be made of the state de-
partment if such loan has the APPROX
al of the government. Inquiry will be
made as to whether the U. S. would
back up the loan in case Carranza Is
government should fall and collection
from q new administration be made
necessary. If agents of financiers re-
ceive such assurances, the loan will be
made, with bonds of the new Mexican
government as security.
That Carranza must secure his loan
in this country is regarded as certain.
Europe's money marts are not open to
him. 1t is possible he might place part
of bond issue with Argentine bank
ers. The bulk of the transaction must,
however, be handled by New York fin
anciers.
Re-establishing Mexico's financial
system presents many difficulties to
Carranza. Hundreds of counterfeit is
sues of money are afloat. Villa has is
sued millions of currency now value
less. In Mexico City alone there are a
score of repudiated issues. Huerta 's
currency is worthless.
Carranza, who has announced that he
will establish gold standard for Mex
lea, with new currency system similar
to the federal reserve act of this coun-
try, but he probably will not be able
to do it until new Mexican congress
is legally elected.
Regarding the immense debt burden
faced by Carranza, payment will be eff
fected, according to information here,
through claim commissions. Carranza
will assent to mixed claims commissions
to deal separately with each country
presenting claims Assurance by Car
rama that he would honor foreign

the result of revolt against exploita-
tiOn. In neither case-nor in any of
the minor strikes did the workers ask
for q larger increase than the rise in

been inadequate to meet the new con

Labor feels that the attitude of tne
British press has widened this gulf be-
tween employers and employees. The
strikers have been called traitors. There
has been practically no condemnation
of the employers. The press has charg.
ed that German gold made this indus

Much has been said Of the enmity of
the men in the trenches toward the
strikers. Here is one story on the
other side:

the Glamorgan colliery were to vote on

Merely applying an inexpensive
paste to hairy surface, say beauty
specialists, will dissolve the hairs. This
paste is made by mixing q little water
with some powdered delatone; after
about Q minutes it is rubbed off and

not only removes every trace of hair,
but leaves the skin free from blemish.
To insure success with this treatment,

Nearly everybody would answer in
favor Of the Hawaiian route. But the
navigators tell us the journey is 266
miles shorter by way Of San Francisco.
The "great circle" does it. Its infu-
ence on distance sends ships from San
Francisco to Manila by way OF the
Aleutian islands. Actually our vessels
would go much farther north than they
do but for the Encouragement Of the
United States photographic bureau at
Washington. which advises a central
route, more than 200 miles longer than
the great circle, in order to escape the
fogs and ice Of the far north.
The Hawaiian Islands are frequently
