POWERS LOOK TOWARD MEXICO
Uncle Sam Held Responsible for Tn.
 terests of Foreign Nations.

European claims for damage done by the revolutions in Mexico amount to $400,O0O,000. The British and the French embassies in Washington re- gently called to the attention of Sec retary Lansing the fact that the Car ranza government has seized the as- sets of British and French banking institutions in the City of Mexico. The British charge d'affaires at the city of Mexico, now in Washington. said that Great Britain could not per init Carranza to imperil British in- terests.
 The implication was that unless the United States takes some action in behalf of the British and French banks, these governments will take matters into their own hands, Appar- ently Paris and London feel that the Monroe Doctrine should not only give the United States a free field on this continent, but that it should place upon us the obligation of protecting foreign interests. It was with this understanding that Europe kept hands off in Mexico throughout the four years of revolution in that coun- try. How much longer European na- tions can be induced to hold aloof in the matter of speculation.
 All that the state department has done is to send these new complaints to American commissioners meeting with the Mexican representatives in Atlantic City. The American commits sioners have served notice that the claims of European nations against Mexico must be considered i'll any ad- justment that is to be reached. Since foreign governments held off at the request of the United States, they considered that the Washington gov ernment is responsible for the satis- faction of these claims, and they need the money.

KEEP UP WITH THE PROCESSION

Publishers these days are having difficulty in securing paper on which to print their journals. The paper stock now obtainable is about as poor long enough to be read, and yet it costs nearly 400 per cent more than two years ago. Good paper stock is practically unobtainable. Congress is threatening to investigate the cost of paper stock to learn whether it is caused by combination or whether it is caused from natural shortages of material.
 Inks cost from 300 to 500 per cent more than they did year ago. Rollers and pressboard cost 100 per cent more; freight is 20 per cent higher, and every thing the printer eats, wears, drinks or uses costs from 50 10 75 per cent more.
 But despite all this The Prospec- tor is giving you a better paper than you received this day year ago. More telegraphic news, better edited, and more prompt delivery at your door.
 During the campaign just past our telegraph tolls alone amounted to $150 for the first fifteen days of November: We gave our people one of the best telegraphic services ever presented to the town of Valdez, and the price remained the same. With this excellent service we gave sans price prOgnostication on the cleo ton which alone was worth treble the price of the paper,-if our read CTS had accepted it.
 To get out this splendid paper we must depend upon the support of ev- cry citizen of Valdez. We are not attempting to run a Republican, or Democratic, or Progressive, or So- lialist, or Methodist, or Episcopalian. CT Catholic paper; but paper for the citizens of Valdez. We desire to re- main friendly with all denominations and parties and plug for the future upbuilding of Valdez.
 We would appreciate your help in our self-appointed task, but if you feel inclined to hang back in the breeching, we deem that your privi- lege; but we beg that you step to one side and let the chariot of progress SO by.
 Notwithstanding the cost of paper and supplies we intend to give Valdez the best paper she has ever had; each day better than the one preced- ing.
 With your help we can make a much better paper, and we again ask

Listeninp-In Devices

The tapping of telephone wires in New York
in order to obtain certain evidence sought by
Mayor Mitchell in regard to supposed conspira-
cy has brought about such discussion of the act
of listening in" on wires and has developed the
fact that there is a means of listening to tele-
phone conversation without direct connection
with the telephone wire.
Some of the persons whose wires had been
tapped by the police complain that their CONVEX
sations are still being overheard, though the po-
lice have withdrawn, and a story has it that the
German secret service uses device that does not
call for cutting of the wires. New York sclen-
lists were asked about the existence of such a
continuance, and while most of them were skep-
teal, one, an electrical engineer and inventor,
said two devices of the kind had been used with
practical results though it is not possible to use
them at great distance. ... .@@e.. = .~
Thus it is that the difficulty of holding pri-
vate and confidential conversations steadily in
creases. Dictaphones, wire tapping and such
methods of breaking into supposedly secret dis
course grow more and more numerous. It is even
threatened by believers in telepathy that mind
reading, at long distance is eventually to be
possible and terror another thus added to life.
In such case safety and secrecy will not be
possible even in the middle of forty-acre lot
Even people who have no dark secrets may feel a
opinions snatched from them and megaphoned
abroad. They are likely to feel as if they might
as we'll be in heaven, where minds are supposed
to be transparent and their workings plain to al
beholders-The Star.

Fort Wayne Celebration

The city of Fort Wayne is holding centen-
NAL celebration this week. It is paying honor to
the state in which it has held high historical
place. In fact, Fort Wayne was flourishing
village and town long before Indiana was accept
ed into the Union. The Fort Wayne celebration
lis calling to mind events that transpired when
this section of the nation was young
History shows that Wayne county was es-
tablished six years before the territory became
an integral part of the Union. Richmond was
incorporated in 1916. This year then calls for a
centennial celebration not only of the state but
also of Richmond. It looks now as if there would
be no centennial celebration in Richmond and
Wayne county this year.
Other counties of the Sixth district have
held or are planning centennial celebrations

celebration last week that attracted general at
