Evacuation of Mexico City by the

representations made by the govern

lowed to reach the Mexican capital.

If the Washington government 4.

Final settlement of the question of

Mexican capital probably will he

Some members of the diplomatic
corps in Washington conferred last
evening concerning advices they had
received from Mexico City. and the
oniIorm opinion was that affairs there
were desperate and rapidly growing
more than ever intolerable

Stream Of Diplomatic Inquiries.
a stream of diplomatic inquiries
poured into the State Department last
evening concerning conditions in Mexi-

fighting, which has been continuous
and intense for weeks, still is in prog
ress. The two armies are contending
desperately for the ridges, the posses
sion of which would give an advantage
to the holder. The losses in these bat
ties are declared to have been as
serious as any in the war, but despite
this neither side has conceded more
than few yards of the rocky slopes
at time.
North Poland Status.
In northern Poland the Russians are
still striving hard to drive the Ger
mans back to East Prussia and pre-
vent them from intrenching in Rus

Of the lower Vistula. 1t Is said at some
points this drive is meeting with con-

SIayden Tells of Plan
for Armed Intervention
by Pan-American Force

Some of the diplomatic representa-
tives at Washington of South and Cen
traI American governments believe
that armed Pan-American intervention
in Mexico would be practical solu-
tion of the difficulties in that country
and restore order, and have unofhcially
expressed themselves as being entirely
willing to take up such q possibility
with their governments II requested
to do so by the government of the
United States
This information was obtained last
night by The Star from Representative
James L. Slayden of Texas, who has
had a number Of conferences with Pan
American diplomats at Washington on
the subject. The plan was proposed
originally by Mr.. Slayden. and he has
spoken on it in the House of Repre-
sentatives and has written on it for
rhe American Journal of international
Law. His idea is that the Latin
American countries shall organize a
relief expedition, similar to that which
was organized by the powers OF Eu-
rope and Asia for the relief Of Pekin
during the Boxer troubles in 1900. In
which the United States participated
No European Help Wanted.
Mr. Slayden, however, is opposed 10
esking the assistance of any European
or Asiatic power for the settlement OF
questions in Mexico. which. he holds
arc purely American questions, to be
settled only by the various countries
on the American continent This lat
Ter point. he said, he desired to bring
out clearly, in view of the fact that

the possibility of the European govern
,lents joining with the United States
in a relief expedition to march or

OF famine. pestilence. riot and outlawr.
there.
american public opinion. Mr.. Slay-
den said will never stand for Euro.
pean Intervention in Mexican affairs.
Speaking particularly of the possibil
fly that Latin American countrie,
which are at peace and which have
armies might welcome the opportunity Il
join with the United States in restoring
order in Mexico. Mr. Slayden said:
'ln talking with Latin-American am
baSsadors and ministers accredited Il

believe that II such a project as | have
proposed were presented to them b.

EYES OF THE WORLD ON
GATES TO BLACK SEA
Northwestern Battle Theater
Turks Occupies Interesting
Place in History.

With the northwestern battle theater
of the Turks proclaimed by the war
prophets as that where the deciding
master strokes in this most titanlike
of all struggles are to be delivered, a
sketch of this remarkable region s
past prepared by Harry GrisWold
Dwight for the National Geographic
Society is of more than usual interest.
Here the west won it's self-confidence,
and this confidence has borne fruits
with splendid richness for longer than
1000 years. Here the course of civiliza-
ton has been changed and modified
several times. and here, again today,
the attention of the world is fixed in
the belief that the future of Europe
will once more be determined by events
about to transpire. In the bulletin just
issued by the National Geographic So
clety. MIR. Dwight tells about The
Gates to the Black Sea-:
There is something alluring in the
very shape and position of these lakes
the Black sea and the Sea of Mar
mora-separating as they do the two
most historic continents of our globe,
and communicating with each other
and with the outer seas by openings
that seem miraculous. And those land
locked waters have been from earliest
times. as they happen again to be to-
day, the theater of epic events For us
of the west no legends are older than
those of Zeus and 10, of Phryxus and
Helle. of the Trojan war, of Jason and
the Argo, which commemorate the
earliest voyages into the great lakes

ready to rush messages in case the
telephone wire is broken and auto
mobiles ceaselessly dash up to the
house and then away again, carrying
the division commanders who come for
personal interviews with the COM
mander- in chief.
An anxious moment is approaching.
The right wing of the army has suf-
fered a setback from which it must
recover before the entire field army
can operate unit. The whole COM
paign. involving more than "A million
men and possibly endangering the flu
ture of the nation, hinges OH the fate
OF the hard lighting right. Every time
the wireless receiver clicks and buzZes
or the telephone bell rings the officers
who are bent over the huge map look
up and cease talking. But the expect
ed message does not arrive.
A big, square-set man. dressed in
khaki and with the ribbons of multi
coiored decorations upon his chest, is
pacing up and down the room. his
hands behind his back. For two days
he has spoken only in monosylla bles
and then only in answer to the defer
entail inquiries of his staff. The fate
of nation rests in his hands. An
hour lost by the right wing In re-
forming and joining his plan of attack
may cost him the battle and with it the
campaign.
Once more the wireless receiver
clicks. The operator does not wait to
type the message, but dashes ii off on
a sheet of paper, while the command
erin chief bends over his shoulder.
The big man scowls. for the right wing
brightens with a daring idea. He die
tates an order commanding the right
wing to feign retreat for two hours
and then. at the moment. that the re-
Inducements arrive. to rally and at
tack en- masse!
A moment later high-power motor
car sweeps out from the porte-cochere
of the building. carrying an adjutant
sitting beside the square-set man in
khaki. The sentries present arms, with
snap. as the commander-in-chi
passes, his mind occupied in planning
the psychological effect of the battle
action. At the very moment when the
feigned retreat shall have led the en-
of his armies will commance he, the
communicating chief. shall be there to
lend spirit by his presence, TO correct
any possible error in strategy or eNecu-
ton and to insure the fullest measure
of efficient generalship in every corps,
in every division, in every regiment
and, as far as possible, in every man.
The weapons of war may change. the
ma ner of fighting may change. STRAIT
egg may chanee-but men and the psy-
chology of men remain the same.
