Shelled to the kernel, the only real
complaint against Wilson is that he
has not plunged the country into the
European war. But, in adapting this
TO political uses, the Republicans are
careful TO avoid any intimatlon as to
what side we should now be fighting
upon, OF course the idea is to get
votes from the sympathIzers with

LONDON PAPERS COMMENT
ON WILSON'S TALK OF PEACF
BY associated Press

London, Mayg 20. - irresponsible
peace talk received its quietus from
Sir Edward Grey last week, but no
doubt President Wilson's speech be-
fore the League to Enforce Peace will
revive the discussion in certain quar-
ters." says the Liverpool Post. Its
def1niteness in certain particulars is
arresting, but perhaps to many of his
own countrymen the air of definiteness
which the President gives to some of
his phrases may seem elusive.
The Post argues that the entente
allies are fighting for virtually the
same object for which President VIII
son proposes league of nations.
The Manchester Guardian saws this
plan of the President is almost as old
as the first formulation of the ideal
OF organized peace, but that it never
before in any part of the world has
commanded the support accorded it
in America to-day.

MENDEZ ARRIVES

Wellington, May 20. - Manuel
Mendez, an attache of General Car
ranzs's foreign office, arrived here to-
day and conferred with Eliseo Arren-
dondo, the Mexican ambassador, but
d0nied that he brought a note as had
been expected or that he brought any
instructions from his chief. He de-
clered he was merely in the United
States on a vacation.
Mr.. Arredondo and other Mexican
officials professed TO be puzzled. 1t
has been reported from Mexico City
and the border that a special mes
seDeer was bringing a new communi-
cation from General Carranza. No
indication of its contents had been
given but 1t generally has been as
sumed by American officials that the
expected note probably renewed the
demand for the withdrawal of Amer
lean forces or made a protest against
the second punitive expedition led by
Colonel Sibley and Major Langhorne
which has, however, returned to Am
erican territory. At the Mexican en-
bnssy 1t was said that If a note was
