Important developments in the Mexi-

will set up his capital in Mexico City.
and from that place will forward his
reply to the pan-American note. At
the same time, fighting between the
Carranza and Villa factions of great

in the northern part of the republic.
Many of the Mexican military and
political leaders to whom the pam
American note was sent have replied
already. Villa and his followers have
agreed to the plan for a peace con-
ference as suggested in the note. The
supporters of Carranza, on the other
hand, have replied that only Garranza.

POLK IS COUNSELOR,
STATE DEPARTMENT
Corporation Counsel of New
York City Is Appointed by
the President.

Secretary Lansing formally announced
last night that President Wilson has
rendered the position of counselor of
the State Department to Frank l..
Polk, corporation counsel of New York
city, and that Mr.. Polk has accepted.
While it has not been definitely decid-
ed. it is virtually certain that the rule
recently prevailing under which the
counselor would be called into con-
ference at cabinet meetings on i'm
portant matters will continue in effect
after Mr.. Polk takes office.
No Information was available last
night as to when Mr.. Polk will come
to Washington to take up his duties,
but 1t is presumed that because of the
large amount of work before the State
Department his arrival will not be
long postponed.
MI. Lansing's Selection.
1t is understood that President Wilson
has followed his consistent policy Of
allowing cabinet officers to select their
own assistants and subordinates. and
while there has been discussion of the
possibility of the appointment Of A.
Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania and
Cone Johnson, solicitor of the State
Department, for the post of counselor,
it is nevertheless known that Mr.. Polk's
name was suggested by Secretary
Lansing early in the discussion.
Mr.. Polk is the son of well known
New York physician. He was born in
New York fortyfour years ago, Is a
graduate of Yale, and was a student at
Columbia. He is an independent demo-
crat and served as president of the mu-
nj ipir ri ,iccS ton, <,f Nc,
York during Mayor McClellans term
Mr.. Polk married Miss Elizabeth Stur-
gis Potter, one of the great bellies, of
Philadelphia. the wedding being one of
the most fashionable of the 1908 social
season there. with men like Cornelius
Vanderbilt as ushers.
In April, 1914, Mr.. Polk was shot in
the chin by Michael p. Maloney. a
crazed blacksmith, who mistook him
for Mayor Mitchell, while trying to kill
the mayor
Succeeds MI. Lansing.
Mr. Polk will succeed NJ. Lansing,
who became Secretary of State on the
resignation OF William Jennings Bryan
in June. The counselors office has
been vacant since Mr. Lansing took
his place in the cabinet and there has
been much gossip as to who would fill
lit. notably in connection with former
Representative A. Mitchell Palmer
While John Bassett Moore was cOun-
selor he acted for the Secretary of
State in all matters in the latter's alb
sence from Washington and that rule
continued in effect while Mr. Lansing
held the post. Diplomatic callers We're
sometimes referred to the counselor
and when a matter of pressing i'm
portance was pending, such as the cor
respondence with Germany over the
Lusitania tragedy. the counselor was
called into conference at cabinet meet
ings.

NEGLECT Of NAVY,
ROOSEVELT CHARGE
Colonel Issues New Statement
In His Campaign for
preparedness.

OYSTER BAY, n. Y, August 2S.--
Former President Theodore Roosevelt
tonight issued another lengthy state
ment in reply to Secretary of War
Garrison in the controversy brought
about by Mr.. Roosevelts Plattsburg
speech. Col. Roosevelt took issue with
the Secretary on the administra ii on )
attitude toward Mexico and Haiti. He
also called attention to what he called
the unpreparedness of our fleet, saying
in part:
e.. Fleet Lacked Training.
Il point out to him that for nearly
two years in 1913 and 1914 the ships
of the navy were never exercised in
feet maneuvering, and, as 1 am re-
liably informed, were never exercised
in fleet or squadron gunnery.
"A moderately intelligent child of six
knows that the failure for two years
to undertake such maneuvers means
literally criminal deterioration in the
fleet, and cannot possibly mean any
thing else. No expert knowledge is
needed on this point; it is a mere mat
ter of ordinary common sense.
Crime Of Unpreparedness.
The very great falling off in the
gunnery that was shown by the results
last spring and the early part of the
summer are directly due to this cul-
pable misconduct in handling our navy;
and it represents unpreparedness of
the very worst kind because unprepared-
ness that takes the shape of letting the
weapons that have been made ready
utterly deteriorate is even worse than
failure to provide new weapons"
