THE price OF these letters Is some

but they are unusual letters, conveyed
in an unusual manner and at an I'M
usual time. / have used the same
methods which have been and are
used by the other side. There has
been falsifying and manufacturing OF
United States passports procuring OF
state documents and photographing OF
certain letters, besides other things.
Why go on? The American public
by now is pretty well informed OF
their way Of doing things Its a clear
case Of I'll gore your OK. but don't
you gore mine
1T was evident to me from the start
that strong German sympathizers
were at work among minor authori-
ties at Washington in my case. This
was changed when the Department of
Justice and the United States district
attorney took matters In hand.
The letters were conveyed by spe-
eial agents of the German govern
ment There are hundred ways OF
getting them through. The British
censorship simply does not exist where
any one is willing to go to the ex-
pense and trouble of avoiding It.
For reasons best known to them
selves, these agents are dissatisfied
with the result. They gave the letters
to me. That Is how l came into
possession of them.
There was nothing personal In the
action l took. II Is not possible to
blackmail a government"

Chairman Wilcox had long con-

TO say nothing until after the official

ton developed today between Luis Ca
brera. chairman of the Mexican peace
delegation. and Alberto J. PAM and
1gnacio Bonillas. his fellow-envoys.
As n result Pant and Bonillas are ex-
pected to ask Carranza to remove Ca
brera and invite the American dele
gates to confer personally with the
First Chief in. Mexico or on the bor-
der.
The feud has been simmering for
some time. Details were made pub
lie today for the first time. The fight
began In New London when PAM sided
with the American commissioners in
certain features of plan to rehabili-
tate the Mexican railways. OF which
Pant is head. Cabrera upset Pants
work by criticism. Suggestions ad-
vanced by Bonillas were likewise over
thrown by Cabrera
Mexican friends Of Pant and Bonil-
las said tonight that their only hope
In preventing the disruption of the
conference was to adopt a program
which Carranza already has under ad-
visement and which provides as fol-
lows:
l. The removal of Cabrera
2. A conference in Mexico or on the
border at which Carranza himself may
enter into by direct negotiations with
the American delegates
3. An agreement by which Carran-
"a would personally guarantee to
crush villa and rehabilitate Mexico

The remarks OF the speaker were
interrupted frequently by outbursts
OF loud applause, enhancing the tell
ing effect OF his speech upon the large
audience. Mr. Bowden stated that
this rally was only one OF a series
VI such meetings to he held in the
