NO RECOGNITION OF
CARRANzA NEAR
Bryan Denies Subject is Being
Formerly Considered.
SITUATION STILL MUDDLED
Views Of First Chief Presented Un-
officially, But Not For Expression
OF Opinion Or With Any View
Toward Recognition.

Washington of any of
the factions in Mexico during the pres
ent uncertain state of affairs is not
contemplated by the United States
government, according to expressions
by high officials.
the subject of recognition had not
reached the point of formal considera-
ton. Persons close to the White
House said President Wilson intended
to study the question very carefully
before committing the American gov
eminent to recognition of any of
the elements in the field, and that he
did not propose to take any action
until the military situation in Mexico
clarified itself.
Published reports that statement
to be issued by General Carranza COW
ering his intentions and program had
been drafted on suggestion from the
Washington administration and was
now before Secretary Bryan and
President Wilson, were met with the
explanation that what purported to be
the views of the First Chief had been
presented unofficially to the State De-
partment, but had not been submitted
for an expression of opinion or with
any view toward recognition"
I'VE haven't been asked" said Mr.
Bryan, ito take the matter up, and
we have nothing before US that we
would regard as sufficient to raise the
subject of recognition"
Richard H. Cole, of Los Angeles,
Cal, personal friend OF General Car
rama, who recently has been active
in his behalf in Washington, called on
Secretary Bryan but declined to dis
close the object of his visit. 1t is
known, however, that he has been as
sisting the Carranza agency here in
its efforts to pave the way for the
opening of diplomatic relations with
the Washington government.
The principle under which the
United States government would be
guided in dealing with the subject of
recognition have been impressed from
time to time on Generals Villa, Car
rama, Gutierrez and others who have
been at the head Of important ele-
ments in the Mexican situation. Until
there is evidence of an agreement
among all the principal leaders the
general belief in Washington is that
recognition will be withheld.

WOMEN FIGHTING
SECRET TREATIES
Hague Congress Urges That
They Be Nullified.
WOULD GIVE PEOPLE VOICE
Want People To Have Say, At Least
Through Legislative Bodies.
Clash Over Anti Rus
sian Pamphlets.

The Hague, Netherlands (via Lon
don) The entire session Thursday of
the International Congress of Women
was devoted to the discussion and the
adoption of two resolutions.
The first provided for democratic
control of framing the foreign policies
of nations. AS amended and adopted
this resolution recommended the multi
fication of all secret treaties and the
participation in the adoption of future
treaties of the people, at least through
the legislative branches of govern
ment.
The second resolution, presented by
Miss Emily Balch, of Wellesley Col
lege, opposed the transfer Of territory
from one nation to another without
consent of the inhabitants. AS
amended and adopted this resolution
recommended recognition of the right
of peoples to self-government, and de-
manded democratic form of govern
ment for every nation.
Large quantities Of pamphlets deal
ing with conditions in Poland were
distributed among the delegates. This
aroused some feeling on the part of
women who characterized it as anti
Russian propaganda, emanating from
German sources. Dr. Sofia Golinska,
of Munich, and Emily Napieralski, Of
Chicago, made speeches in support Of
the movement for the freedom of the
Poles. References also were made to
the political position Of Jews and
Films in Russia.

WHAT CAIARRH IS

It has been said that every third person
b troubled with catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
indicates weakened condition of the
body; that the secretion Of the mucous
membranes are quickly affected, and local
treatments in the form of snuffs and
vapors do little, if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is
medicinal food and building-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.
