CAN GET DYESTUFFS.
State Department Takes Up Question
With Germany and England.

State department officials are pre-
pared to take up with the German
government the last step necessary to
supply American textile mills with
the cargoes OF German dyestuns
bought before March 1. The way was
cleared Thursday by the announce
ment that Great Britain had agreed
to permit these cargoes under certain
conditions to come through from Rot
terdem.
As the position previously taken by
the German government has been
that it would permit dye shipments
in exchange for cotton or copper,
some officials believed there would be
little difficulty in getting these two
cargoes out Of Germany to Rotter-
dam. The state department Will CO.
operate with the mills agent IN ef-
forts to complete the TRANSACTION.

years diverted from the right path on
the Mexican question.
1.-THE heads Of your administration
were not fair to Mexico, but believe
they were nisled by false state
ments. Besides, there Is quite a diff
ference between theory and facts. II
your administration only had been In
Mexico for thirty days they would
have changed their theoretical, cr-
roneous ideas. But I would rather
not discuss this subject. 1t is dis
courtesy, you know, for foreigner
to criticise heats Of nation whose
hospitality he enjoys.
"My Indian, honest blood boils
when I think of the unfortunate con-
ditions existing in my poor country,
and when I think that good, clean
press like the American are led by
false and artificial tricks to defend a
cause which is nothing more than
one Of vandalism and anarchy.
"But, never mind. I have hopes.
My Mexico is young. Ny Mexico has
plenty Of life in it. Ny country can
not be conquered. We have sixteen
millions OF men and children, and 1t
would need 100000 Of invaders,
one invader for each man, for each
woman, and for each child, and
when the 100000. Ne1icans are
killed off, then devastated country
would be the price Of the conquerer,
to the shame Of civilization and the
shame Of the conquerer.
"Never mind. Mexico will be cav
ed by a Mexican. By g strong Mexi-.
can. Not by a bandit. Not by men
that kill for the sake of money or OF
dastardly passion, but by Mexican
who will act as surgeon, who will
cure the sores, who will amputate the
dead parts Of the national body. And
then Mexico in a short time will re-
viye and will be the paradise on earth
as it deserves to be.
Where is the man? Who Is the
man? When will the man appear?
I do not know"

Group Five and Request Its EIm1-
nation-Tokio to be Heard From.
No specific progress was recorded
at the conference in Peking Thursday
over the Japanese demands. Ques-
tions concerning Eastern, or inner,
Mongolia were discussed.
Eastern Mongolia originally was
grouped with South Manchuria, and
the Japanese demands with reference
to these two territories are virtually
the same, relating to right Of resi-
.dence by the Japanese and owner
ship of land, mining concessions; OBJ
legation on the part Of China to OBJ
tain Japan's consent to the granting
Of railway concessions to any third
power or to the raising of loan from
any power for railway construction;
transfer OF railways.
Owing to Chinese insistance, East
ern Mongolia and South Manchuria
were not discussed Friday. The Jap
anese minister contended that these
two should be discussed on the same
basis, but Lu Cheng Hsiang, Chinese
foreign minister, argued that Japan
has no such claims in Eastern Mon
golia as in South Manchuria. He
said, however, that China was will
ing to open treaty ports and other
wise place all foreign nations in a
favorable position relative to trading.
Lu Cheng Hsiang asked that Japan
withdraw Group 5, which contains
some Of the most important demands
made by Japan, including the employ
ment of japanese political, financial
and military advisers, and Japanese
police; Japanese supervision OF the
manufacture or purchase Of China's
war munitions and railway and min
ing concessions.
NJ. Hioki, the Japanese minister,
said that he would communicate the
request to Toxic. 1t is understood
that China will communicate with the
powers if Japan insists on retaining
Group 5.

ness men of those two cities, recently

minister, Paul S. Reinsch, to what
was termed "the serious nature of
the Japanese demands" and asked
the American government to take
measures to protect American inter-;
ests.
The appeal recently cabled direct
to President Wilson was signed by
seven prominent American mission
aries. The whole missionary body
numbers several. hundred, but most
of them have not seen the document.
Some of those who were requested to
sign it refused.
The American board sent a circu-
lar to it's missionaries, instructing
them to refrain from making any
public announcement on political af-
fairs. The Young Mems Christian
association refused to join the petit

orally favor the position taken by
China, but few indulge in publicity
or political activities.

FOURTEEN KILLED.
Freight Train Drags Loaded Trolley
Car 200 Feet.

To the inexperience OF student
motorman is charged the death OF
fourteen persons, ten Of them women,
who were killed Wednesday night in
a collision between street car and
freight train on the tracks OF the
Detroit, Toledo & Ironton railroad, in
the western end Of Detroit, Mich,
According to the police. the unex-
planned inactivity Of the Students in
structor also contributed to the dis
aster. .Twenty-eight other persons
were injured, four OF them so seri-
ously that their death is believed to
be certain. Early Thursday only
seven Of the dead had been Identified,
and it was said at the morgue some
Of the bodies are 80 terrible mutt
lated that their Identification will be
well nigh impossible.
With a heavy load Of passengers,
the car, handled by Student Motor
man J. C. Westover, halted as 1t
reached the railway crossing. The
conductor ran ahead, and seeing =
string Of freight cars pushed by a
switch engine approaching the inter-
section, signalled the motorman to
wait until it had passed.
The novice misunderstood the sig
nal and turned on the power. The
car started down the slight incline
leading to the railway tracks. When
too late the motorman shut OF the
current and applied the brakes, but
the car slid along until it stopped
directly in the path OF the oncoming
train.
The leading freight car crashed
into the street car, striking it square
ly in the middle. The railroad tracks
at the place where the accident oc-
Cured occupy a narrow street. AS
the car was swept away from the
cross, one end of it struck and de-
molished the front Of the Delray sta
ton, which stood on one corner, and
the other end tore out part OF q
grocery store on the opposite side OF
the street.
Nearly 200 feet was travelled be-
fore the freight was brought, to a
stop, and along this distance, terribly
mangled bodies Of dead and injured
were strewn. Others caught In the
wreckage Of the car were not extri-
Gated until several hours after the
crash.
The roof Of the street car remain
ed practically intact, but the remand
er of the car was reduced to mass
of splinters. Some Of the bodies were
torn to bits. One woman was hurled
completely over the roof Of the rail-
way station. A hand was. found on
the roof Of freight car forty feet
away.

WANTS THREE WEEKS.
Kronprinz's Commander Says He
Wants to Leave.

Lieut.. Capt. Thierfelder, captain Of
the German converted cruiser Kron-
prin. Wilhelm, delivered to Collector
Of Customs Hamilton late Tuesday
his formal request OF the United
States government for time to remain
in Newport News for temporary re-
pairs to his ship.
The request was made in two let
tiers, which were forwarded to the
secretary of the treasury, and their
contents not divulged. It is unders-
TODD the German commander asked
for three weeks time as maximum
in which to make the Wilhelm sea-
worthy, but that he stated he would
make every effort to complete repairs
and leave port before that time.
It was learned that the stipulations
related only to temporary repairs be-
cause several months would be re-
nuirad if all needed repairs were un-
dertaken at this time.

PLuCKING the FARMER

REORGANIZATION of the rural free de-
officials who live in washington, D. c.,
surrounded by a paved road country,
is destroying free delivery service for
thousands of farmers in this state. The
purpose of the department. is to
lengthen all routes to thirty miles and
discontinue ether routes in the divi-
sion of territory and thereby reduce
expense.
Thirty miles is not too long a route
when the roads are good but if some Of
these officials accustomed to the paved
roads of the eastern states could wal
low in an Iowa mud road for day
they would think they had travelled
half across the continent and here is
the point az which the general plan of
thirty mile routes breaks down.
Farmers who have enjoyed free de-
livery service for fifteen years are be-
ing cut OF which has the effect of
moving them out into the wilderness.
Department rules and orders are diff
cult things - change until administra-
tons change So it would be wise for
all farmers ID accept their mail from
other routes if they can and do their
protesting to their congressman with
cut loss of delivery service while the
protests are being put thru the depart

ties Of the order but no man should
shut of his mail delivery to spite an

never looked prettier. Grass and the
various kinds Of forage crops of a
coarse growth have fourished album

moisture has not interfered with the

attained rank growth. even on old

the stacking was not neglected there

and high grade grain. But many neg
leeted to stack, leaving their crops to-
waste or spoil in shocks. This is
largely the result Of poor management
or loose ideas Of farming. and those
to blame for 1t will have to bear the
consequences Even now in the Jour-
nal territory there are thousands OF
acres Of wheat and oats in shocks, or
what once resembled shocks.

marketable corn. Maybe there will be
more than this amount and, again,
maybe less.

PICKING cARRANZA

Selection OF Carranza to receive
recognition and support Of the con-
terring powers upon the Mexican sit

could be made with the material to
choose from. Villa was impossible
from more than one direction. Car
rama was the one best bet. That he
will justify the selection Is a matter
for future settlement. AS things stood
it was about all that could be done un-
less to leave the situation in its pres

The selection OF course does not set
nistas are to receive the moral sup
port Of the nations and that other fac
tons are to get the cold shoulder.
Carranza is to get what arms and
munitions he can pay for and an EN-
barge on arms and munitions placed
against those who oppose him. That
Of itself however affords Carranza a
great advantage over his opponents.
The main difficulty is not as to
recognition Of rulers or factions but in
the Mexicans themselves. That Car
rama shall be able to do in gentle
ness what Diaz did as dictator is not
safe to assume. Diaz ruled as arbi-
trarily as any ancient king. His rule
was plain force. And that appears K

order and maintaining the supremacy
