WILSON CR|TICISES
MEXICAN POLICIES

One Of the recognized authorities
on the Mexican situation is an Indiana
man, Henry Lane Wilson, formerly
United States ambassador to Mexico,
who was removed from this post
shortly after the Wilson administra.
tion came into power. Thursday ev-
ening of this week Richmond people
will have the opportunity of hearing
this experienced diplomats account of
the tragedy of Mexico. He will de
liver a Republican address at the cir.
cult court room. The public is in
vited to attend.
Wilson is one of the presidents
severest critics and he declares the
president has done nothing except
bungle this complex question.
Mr.. Wilson was in Mexico City at
the time Madero was assassinated. It
is said that few Americans are as
familiar with the Mexico of today as
Mr.. Wilson.

STREET FIGHTING
RACES IN Street
OF FALLEN CITY

LONDON, Sept rs. - Smashing
their way forward in series of as
saults the allies have won big vic
tory on the Somme front by penetra-
ting the important town of Combles.
Hand-to-hand fighting is now raging
in the streets between the Anglo
French troops and the remnants of
the German garrison.
The British captured 1000 more
prisoners.
Attacks were delivered by the
British and French simultaneously.
The honor of entering the city first
fell to General Haig's men. However.
the French were able to occupy the
southern outskirts on the eastern edge
of the town.
Germans Rolled Back.
To the east of Combles the Ger
mans were rolled back from fortified
villages which they strove e. hold. BY
the capture of Sregicourt. mile east
of Combles, by the French, the allies
forged a steel ring around the town
and cut the only line of communica-
tion that the Germans still held.
The Germans tried to lessen the
pressure on the Somme front by at
tacking south Of Bethune. These at
tacks we're repulsed.
On the eastern front the Russians
are again stringing great masses of
men against the German positions and
battles have developed, particularly
in the Carpathians.
Savage Fighting Continues.
Savage fighting continues at many
points along the battle line in Greek
Macedonia. On the western end Of
this front the Bulgarians made strong
counter attacks which the French.
Russians and Servians have checked.
In addition to sky actions over the
battle fronts both the allies and the
Germans carried out raids British
air men and Germans were active.
The revolutionary movement in
Greece is spreading and now extends
to Corsu. The commander of the
Greek garrison at Corsu deserted his
post and has gone to Saloniki to 1oin

Of the forthcoming visit of M. Venize.
los to London.
M. Venizeios, who 10 a former pre-
mier Of Greece and leader of the pro.
ally party, has gone from Athens to
Crete. where he probably will head the
provisional government, as was re.
ported in dispatches to the Interna-
tional News Service on Monday.
Expect Decisive Action.
If King Constantine fails to accept
the services of the revolutionary army
when they are rendered to him in a
proclamation which Venizelos is pre-
pairing. decisive events are expected
to follow at once.
There are strong indications that
the ex-premier has the support of the
entente powers in any action he may
contemplate to fulfill the Greek ma
tional aims through the entry of that
country in the war.
Should Venizelos, with the consent
of the allies, be elevated to national
power in Greece. King Constantine
and his family likely will retire to
Germany.

NATIONAL MEDIATION
BOARD IS LATEST
PLAN OF PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Creation
of national board of mediation and
conciliation, with broadest possible
powers, but just short of the right to
force compulsory arbitration, may be
the outcome of the action of Presi
dent Wilson in inviting suggestions OF
the best way to reconcile capital and
labor.
The presidents appeal for sugges-
tions is likely to meet with ready
response. Labor leaders here and the
few senators and Representatives still
in Washington are studying the situa.
tion very carefully.
Agree With President.
They agree with the statement OF
the president that the greatest menace
apparent to the continued prosperity
OF the country is the increasing unrest
in the. labor world.
Organized labor leaders, however,
are chary Of endorsing any plan that
might tie their hands in enforcing
their demands through a strike. All
who would talk at all insisted today
that the strike is labor's greatest
weapon and that they are opposed to
any action that would in any way
abridge it, Most of them believe that
federal mediation board would be
first step toward compulsory arbi-
tration.
1t is known. however, that President
Wilson and his advisers are convinced
that some method of mediation must
be decided on by congress in the i'm
mediate future.
