MISCHIEF IN x

German intrigue in Mexico, says the New York Word, has been active
since he beginning OF the var as the revelations in regard to O Rinte-
len, Papen, Boyd and Huerta have shown. Until now, however,
there has been nothing to indicate that General Carranza as involved.
If, As the British government charges, bases for German submarines
have been established ON the Mexican coast, it will be difficult to escape
the conclusion that the Kaisers agents have at length reached the First
Chief. Suspicion in this direction will be confirmed by the fact that, in
spite Of ssurance and proofs of friendship O the prt of the admins
tratiom at Washington, the defacto government has of late exhibited in
creaGng hostility.
One OF the many German diplomatic delusions has been that if the
United States could be embroiled with Mexico it would cease to be ar
industrial, financial n political factor in the European wr In support of
this policy the encouragement of General Carranza in his de6nance of this
country and his implication in unneutral acts would be logical, and it
would probably be effective to the extent of getting him into very serious
trouble with his northern neighbor.
A great truth which the First Chief never has recognized is that with
out the sanction Of the United States his regime would not have lasted
long enough to- make a mark o the history of his time. Evidence that he
is in conspiracy with Germany would end his official career with 4 n abrupt
ness that even Mexico might regard as sensational.

made a punishable ofense. Ii it i. a crime to manipulate prices by cor

CAT U OF THE BAG

The day following the election, when the result of the election was
still in doubt the railroads filed their first suit to test the Adamson eight
hour law, states the Sacramento Union.
The next day and the next still other suits we're filed in various parts
of the country.
These suits wereh held up because of the fear that if thew were filed
before election they would have an adverse effect IN the candidacy OF
Hughes. The great corporations Of the country we're soldly back of the
Republican candidate. But they did not arr to make the fact to- prom
inent.
When the votes were cast, it was deemed safe % get ut in the open
and begin the legal fight that had been held in suspense while the rail.
road candidate made his fight for election.
In tmss or of politics, which possibly was dictated by political wis
dom, there is a confession OF what the people of the west cen to have
understood, that Charles f. Hughes was not the candidate of the plain
wealth.

PROSPERITY

Railroad payrons and freight conditions are usually regarded as first
symptoms of good or bad business. The average man seldom paws nurh
attention to thi test. but just there is a gut of traffic from which
son erestn estimates ofp prosperity an be figured.
According to the last report of the American Railway association,
there is a let shortage OF over 2O551 freight cars a the present time.
something overa year ago there wa a surplus of 327H idle cars. This
difference makes a peculiar measure of business improvement in the last
year.. Allowing fifty feet to a cal, there are 5000 miles freight in
process OF transportation than there was a year ago. If the additional
Nlo5O cars which are now needed we're actually available, this would
mean another 200 miles of freight, or a string of crss stretching from Bos-
tom t. San Francisco.

leaders favored modifying President
Wilson's Americanism plank to make
its denunciation of political activities

the president would not consent to
such a change under any circum-

AS approved by the president the
plank would charge a conspiracy on

COLISEUM, ST. LOUIS, June 15.-

his men attacked a small detachment

The twelfth day of the Russian Of
fensive against Austrian and Ger

shows nowhere any signs of sclack-
eniEg. All along the front fresh gains
for the Russian troops and the cap
ture of thousands of additional pris-
oners and of guns. machine guns and
war supplies are claimed by the Rus
slams. The number of prisoners now
exceeds 10000.
| While semi official advices from
Petrograd give a report that the Aus
trians have evacuated Czernowitz,
capital of Bukowina, the latest Off
cial communication from Austrian
| headquarters says the troops of En-
peror Francis Joseph are making a
stand north and east of the city and
! both have repressed Russian attacks.
| In the drive westward from the re-
gion of Lutsk the Austrians are coun-
ter attacking or entrenching them
selves in new positions for a stand
against the Russians.
No report of gains of either side in
Galicia in the region of TarnopoI
have come through. Here apparently
there is still a deadlock between the
Russians and the Austrians and Ger
mans.
On the German end of the northern
front in Russia the Russians near Ba-
ranovichi attacked and carried Ger
man trenches, but later We're forced
to give them up under strong pres
