the United States stands.
 The brief from Carranza's counsel, Charles A. Douglas, not only proposes a peace conference with Carranza 5 adevsaries, but practically asks recog- nition. It sets for the the suggestion of a peace conference in the following language;
 We have in Washington MT. Ar rendondo, in the capacity of special represen ntative of the constitutionalist government and, at this time, MT. Ca brera, a member of MT. CaTanzaes s cabinet, is here. They are men sof fine ability and excellent character and are anxious to serve their country in the highest and best sense. Either, or both of them, am assured, will. be glad to confer with any element of the Mexican people with a view to furthering the common interest, the peace and the welfare of the nation.''
 The proposal to restore the constitu- where it was broken by the death of Medero by elevating vasquez Tagle, a member of the Madero cabinet, to the brief says, would defeat the aims of the revolution.
 ssThe plan of the constitutionalists g der way, is to make the principles of the revolution effective as war meas ures by military decrees during the xtra-constitutionaI period and than to have the congress ratifyreinstate them into 1aw.,'1 Ea contfnueu on Page 2.

Position of United States.
 The position of the United States was officially stated as follows:
 That neither CarraI1za nor any other military faction in Mexico is in con- troI of the country or can be consid- cred as triumphant in the republic.
 That the real purpose of the revolu- tion was accomplished year ago when Huerta was overthrown and that the strife which has continued since has been over factionaI diferences and has not been in reality a revolution
 That is considers General ViI1as while financially weakened, still is an active element in Mexican affairs, who must be reckoned with in an adjust7 nent.
 That the so-caIIed Cientificos do not enter into the problem now be- cause it is considered that the over throw of Huerta disposed of that ele- mcnt
 That the greater portion of Mexico is not at peace as General CaFranza claims, because fighting continues in many section from Tehuantepec to the Rio Grande and from Vera Cruz to MazatlaT.
 That the first problem to be solved in restoration of peace is s1to find for provisional president man who rep resents the cause of the original revo- lution against Huerta, but who does not necessarily represent any of the factions now at war.
 This outline is the first authorita- tive statement of the basis upon which

Dangerous Fanahcism.

Let ii be said in the beginning that The Herald
believes in the regulation of the liquor traffic, in
the elimination of the low drinking dives, in the
observance OF the law and the maintenance of
order in all public places where either soda water
or stronger beverages are sold and consumed. But
The Herald believes, too, that common sense and
not hnaticism should rule and regulate.
AT hearing before the Excise Board the other
day, the attorney for the Anti-Saloon League op-
posed the granting of license to fashionable
Connecticut avenue restaurant, one Of the reasons
he advanced being that alcoholic beverages were
dispensed in the establishment week days and it was
open Sundays for the sale OF confectionery The
District excise law he maintained contemplates that
all places where liquors sold, except hotels
should be absolutely closed to the public on Sum
days. The excise law is admittedly filled with
contradictions and discrepancies. but the Ant-Sa-
loon League attorneys Interpretation of its mean
ing or the intention of its trainers is not recon-
cilable with sane reasoning. He tells the Excise
Board that under the law ice cream must not be
sold on Sunday in building in which is located
banquet hail. where wine is served with meals
on week days, though. it must be borne IN mind
the excise law absolutely forbids the selling or
dispensing of any alcoholic beverages anywhere
in the District of Columbia Sundays He
would apply the same rule to all restaurants, and
carried to logical and successful conclusion his
contentious would make of the Capital of the
United States unique example of the ludicrous
results OF fanatical regulation.
He interprets the law also as forbidding the
sale and consumption of beer. the German ma
tional beverage, in the hall OF the Saengerbund
or the maintenance of bar in the Army and
Navy Club, upon the ground that these are the
principal sources OF the revenue of the oreaniza-
tions. In invoking clause OF the law aimed at
clubs that were not really clubs. but merely dis
guised drinking places, the attorney has been
led into an assertion absurd as it is unfoundcd
He cannot expect public sentiment to support him
in any such campaign OF persecution against the
social gathering places OF hundreds of the law
abiding and most upright and substantial citizens
OF Washington and their families By his unfair
and fanatical tactics he is inviting a reaction that
Is likely to undo any good the Anti-Saloon League
may have accomplished in the Capital

Capt. Constant Cordier. L. :. \. who
has been recently detached iron. the
Fourth Infantry on the nUrder. reported
to the War Department yesterday for
assignment to duty on Il Northern post.
Capt. COrdier is the only living officer
who was ever formally thanked by the
State department for distinguished dip
lomatic service" H.. is better known in
the South american capital cities than
in the United States. having been in
trusted to number of important diplo-
matte missions by former Secretary
Knox. During the civil war in Ecuador
capt. Corlier particularly distinguished
himself by taking care of the American
citizens at GUayaQuil. A cruiser had
been ordered 10 Guayaqul and the MAJ
rines were ready TO go ashore when Capt
cordicr arrived. He asked to be sent
ashore before the expedition was landed.
and as th.. result of his negotiations it
was unnecessary to send a force of ma
rincs TO rescue the American citizens.
Capt. Cordicr during his service mill
tary attac took course OF study at
the famous Lima University and is re-
car,lcd as an authority on South Ameri-
can affairs. He was sent to Vera Cruz
during the American occupation and was
invalua ble in administering tho affairs of
the city under the direction of Gen. Fun
ston.
Chaplain G. l.. Bayard has been de-
Ia ched from the hattleship Texas and
will shortly report for duty at the Wash

tour of duty OF Chaplain Bayard in
Washington and he is popular and well
known among the clergy and church
people at the National Capital At the
same time he is the idol of the enlisted
men when he is on duty with the feet

their athletic sports.
