Letter From Senator Salisbury

Hon. Joseph H. Hossinger,
Mayor, Newark, Del.
Dear Mayor The Acting Sur
geon General has advised me that
two of the Delaware Staff are
we'll advanced in the investigation
of the typhoid outbreak at Newark
and that it would appear unneces-
sary to rely on outside assistance.
Because of this fact and the ex-
IRENE demands on the Surgeon
Generals Staff at the present
time, he states that while he will
not assign anyone at present, if
need for cooperation should ur-
gently arise he would like to be
informed promptly. l sincerely
trust that health conditions so far
as Newark is concerned are rap
idly getting back to normal.
Yours very truly,
Signed, Willard Salisbury

PINCHOT HITS HARD

Thus far in the battle of polit-
ical principles and persons that IS
in progress the air has been con-
spicuously free from offensive
personalities. The amenities OF
political debate have been scrupu-
louslv observed in the main, and
the lower depths of controversy
have not been drawn upon for am
munition. This is as it should be.
Yet it is all the more surprising TO
find in Clifford Pinchot's recent de-
claration of faith in Hughes the
most cutting personal attack that
has been made upon the character
of President Wilson. This ardent
Progressive and cOnservationist
bluntly tells the American people
that he is for Hughes because he
trusts him, and he does not leave
the reverse of that proposition to
be inferred, but with equal frank
ness pillories the President as one
whose word is not to be taken. Lis
ten to these sentences:
In the end | came to see
that President Wilson has a
greater power than any other
man in public life to say one
thing but do another, and get
away with it.
With war on every side of
us we all heard him 4 SOL
EMMY assure the country that
we had not been negligent of
national defense. 1t was not
true.
We have all heard him rid
icule the idea of a greater
navy, then declare for the
greatest navy in the world
and then go back on that.
We have seen him elected
on a platform which pledged
him to a single term as Presi-
dent and then become can
didate for another term.
What Mr.. Wilson says is no
sign of what he has done or of
what he will do. The one thing
his record shows is that what
he stands for now is not like
ly to stand for long.
cannot vote for Wilson be-
cause | cannot trust him. He
does not do what he says.
Hughes does.
If any more scathing indictment
of candidate were possible
within the limits of legitimate and
allowable debate it would be diff
ficult to find it. This amazing dis
crepancy between what Mr.. Will
son says and what he does is the
most conspicuous feature of the
record on which he stands and on
which his supporters propose to
make their fight for his re-elec
ton. Mr.. Pinchot has put histin-
ger unerringly upon the vital
weakness of President Wilson'S
personality, and in it will be found
the explanation of the feeling of
uncertainty and distrust that is
deepening throughout the country
wherever people are really awake
to the issues on which they are
being called upon to pass.

being expanded in emergency to 254,-

tional guard of 425.000 as reserve,
finally was agreed on today by House
and Senate conferees on the army
bill. The agreement will be report
ed to Congress early next week and
the measure, the first OF the admins
tration preparedness bills, is expected
to be before President Wilson for his
signature soon afterward.
Advocates of adequate national de-
fense recognized the conference
agreement as a triumph.
The compromise between the House
and Senate measures was affected af-
ter weeks of struggle against an in
sistent demand from House conferees
for a standing army of only 100000
men, and until today 1t had appeared
that the Senate might be forced to
yield. The Senate bill provided for
250,000. The minimum enlisted
strength would be attained under the
conference agreement within the next
five years and 1t is stipulated that at
no time shall the total be less than
100, 900.
The conference report also pro-
vides for government nitrate manu-
featuring plants to cost not exceed
Ing 100000 for vocational education
in the regular army and for estab
lishment of military training camps
for volunteer citizens whose transpor-
tation. clothing and subsistence ex-
penses while training would be paid
by the federat government. The train
ing camp feature as finally approved
is regarded as compensation in a
measure for the volunteer reserve of
261,00 men which the conferees
were forced to abandon on insistence
from the House.

WASHINGTON. May 13.-Indfca-

day that the Scott obregon border
conferences, although officially de-,
scrlbod as having ended In dead
lock. actually had resulted in closer
cooperation between the American
and Carranza forces In Mexico. and
there were intlmarions that no writ

the conference because they decided
more could be accomplished without
one.
General Scott telegraphed that

dlerss on Mexican soil might have

view Of General Carranza's demand
for withdrawal presented more than
n month ago. This generally was ac-
cepted here as explaining the failure
OF the conferees to 20 further than
an unwritten gentlemen's agreement
as to methods of cooperation In the
campaign against banditry. Evidonc-
os that this agreement was being car

grams reporting the movement Of
