COALITION IS URGED

Amsterdam, Sept. 21.-A coalition
government for Germany is urged by
the Berlin Tageblatt in a long article
by Hans ~Siykovich, a member OF The
reichstag.
Never since the beginning of the
war" he writes. has the German peo.

The period since the last meeting
has brought us successes, but also
many difficulties, military setbacks,
and new enemies.
After two years of fighting. blood
shed and self-denial, the peace for
which every heart longs still is at an
Unreasonable distance. The fighting

Russian successes and the entry of

BREAK IN MEDIATION
BOARD is AVERTED

New London, Conn, Sept. 2l.-The
threatened rift in the American-Mex
lean conference has been closed, at
least temporarily.
The American commissioners con
scented to give consideration to imme-
diate withdrawal of troops and the
question of border protection. In this
connection the MeXicans have prom
ised to send a force TO replace Gen
eral Pershing's men. On the whole
the Americans feel there is no immedi-
ate break ahead. But the Mexican
temper is such that the border ques-
tons must be finally disposed of at
once, or else there is trouble ahead
for the commission.
The Mexicans have pledged to hunt
Villa ito the bitter end" The attack
on Chihuahua simplities the problem,
they said. Hitherto it has been a
problem of locating the bandit leader,
rather than anything else. The raid
has revealed his whereabouts.

MODS STORM BARNS

this city began two weeks ago ccur.
red in various sections of Manhattan
when attempts were made to run cars
on the ~Forty-second and Firty-ninth
street cross-town surface lines.
Mobs of strikers and their sympa-
thizers stormed two car barns, over
powering the police and putting to
fight all railway employees in the vi
cinity.
Several motormen and conductors
who had not joined the strike were
beaten.
Much property damage had been
lone before police reserves arrived.
The police reported later that all
surface ears had been ordered to the
barns for the rest of the night.
Despite the attempted intervention
of a committee OF business men there
seems to be little prospect of avert
ing a general strike In sympathy with
the street railway employees. Labor
leaders aver the proposed general
walkout will involve about 100000
workers in all trades.

CALLED ONLY CURE

Dallas, Tex, Sept. 81 Invasion of
Mexico to establish a permanent gov
eminent and permanent peace was adj
vocated here by Major +. G. Clemans,
chaplain of the Second Minnesota in
fantry and field secretary for the board
of conference claimants of the North
ern ministerial conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church.
"In my opinion" Major Clemans
said, there is only one thing for the
United States to do, and that is to
throw an army of invasion into Mex
leo and establish a permanent govern
ment and a permanent peace. 1t may
take five or fifty years, but Mexico is
worth it to the American continent"

DEMANDS RENEWAL OF
SUBMARINE WARFARE

Berlin, Sept. 21.-Major Ernst Bias
serman, leader of the National Lib.
eral party, in a keynote speech de-
liyered before his constituents in the
Sa~arbruecken district, declared that
the submarine campaign had been
postponed and not abandoned. Major
Bassermann advocated the widest pos
sible use OF both submarines and Yep
pelins and the most ruthless methods
of warfare.
The National Liberal leader assert
ed his views were shared by Admiral
Won Tirpitz, Admiral Won Rooster,
Prince Won Buelow and Count Zeppe-
lin. He maintained that "in a strug-
gle wherein the existence Of Germany
is at stake the most ruthless use of all
possible weapons is called for" This
sentiment was heartily a|pplauded by
his audience. Submarines and Yep
pelins, continued Major Bassermann,
were the most effective weapons
against "our arch enemy, England"
He said il would be a delusion to
believe there was any immediate pros
pect Of an end Of the war. On the
contrary, he said, Germany was fac
ing a more difficult war than had at
first appeared possible. but neyerthe-
less he saw no reason to doubt ulti
mate victory.

The discovery of blood stained

to the belief that one or more Of them
may have been wounded. The fact
that only two were seen gave rise to
the belief that the other two may
have been killed.
