The series of conferences between
Counselor Polk Of the State Depart
ment and Arredondo, for which the
note doubtless prepares the way. may
extend beyond the question of pro-
tecting the border against future BAN
dit raids and go into the sore need Of
the Carranza government for financial
support.
This possibility created considerable
interest among administration Off.
cials and diplomats. 1t was regarded
as an indication that the United
States wishes to help the neighbor re.
public to bring order out of its in.
ternal turmoil.
On instructions from Gen. Carranza,
the Mexican embassy Friday advised
the State Department of the virtual
destruction Of de facto government
force Wednesday by a large Villa
band at Corralitos, chihuahua, and
suggested that the American border
patrol exercise all possible vigilance
to prevent the outlaws from raiding
into the United States.
Al hio uiophlSh " thC OLhpuooyS 0Ohs
Carranza said he feared the bandits
had crossed the desert in an attempt
to reach the border and cause further
difficulties.
He suggested that the American
troops patrol carefully between Bo-
Quillas and Ojinaga and promised that
every possible effort would be made
by his forces to apprehend and de-
stroy the bandits.
At the same time the State Depart
ment received report from an Amer.
lean in Mexico that he had seen and
talked with Villa personally near Cor
ralitos, few days before the fight rs-
ported in the Carranza message.
Andres Garcia, Mexican consul, said
reports Of the Villista movement re-
ceived at the American frontier points
have been greatly exaggerated.

Secretary of State Lansing took q

The text Of the note follows:
"Sir: have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt Of your communica-
ton of July 4, 1916, in which you
transmit a note addressed to me by
the secretary of foreign relations Of
you transmit to him the following
reply:
"Mr. Secretary: l have the honor
to acknowledge the receipt of your
courteous note transmitted to me by
Senior Arredondo on the 4th instant,
In which you refer to my notes Of
June 20 and June 25, and to assure
you of the sincere qualification of my
government for the frank statement Of
the difficulties which have unfortu.
nately arisen in our relations along
the international boundary and the un-
reserved expression of the desire of
your government to reach an adjust
ment Of these difficulties on broad
and amicable basis. The same spirit
Of friendship and Of solicitude for the
continuance Of cordial relations be-
my government, which equally desires
an immediate solution of the differ
ences which have long vexed both gov.
ernments.
''It is especially pleasing to my
government that the de facto govern
ment of Mexico is disposed to give
quick as we'll as practical considera-
ton in a spirit of concord to the
remedies which may be applied to the
existing conditions. Reciprocating the
same desire, the government of the
United States is prepared Immediately
to exchange views as to a practical
plan to remove finally and prevent a
recurrence of the difficulties which
have been the source of controversy.
Accept, Mr.. Secretary, the renewed
assurance Of my highest considera-
tion.

One Question for Every American to
Answer.

In the subjoined sentences from
President WILSON'S latest addresses
in support Of his military policy we
believe the hopes and ambitions of all
reasonable Americans are exactly set
forth and the question every man
must seriously ask himself Is clearly
propounded
~There are two things which pract.
cally everybody who comes to the execu-
tive ONCE IN Washington tells me They
tell me that the people are counting
upon me TO keep US out Of this war.
"And In the next breath they tell me
Tho people are equally counting upon
you to maintain the honor of tho United
States
Have YOU reflected that a time might
come when could not do both. and have
YOU made yourselves ready TO stand
behind your Government for the main
tenance Of the honor OF your country as
we'll a, for the maintenance OF the peace
Of the country?'
The heavy burden that Is laid on
the Government all men must recog-
nize. The dangers that are encoun-
tered each day force themselves on
public attention. The obligation Of
the President to preserve peace so
long as peace may be preserved with
out loss Of honor does not obscure
the possibilities inherent in the inter-
| national situation. Could any more
pertinent and searching question be
framed for the consideration OF every
American than that which Mr.. VII.
son posed for his auditors on the edge
| Of the middle West?

Financing the Public Schools

the Mayor the temptation to control

Apparently Mr.. CHURoHlIr would
empower the Department Of Education
to certify to the tax collector the
gross sum which in its judgment was
needed for the support of the schools
and compel that officer to extract II
from the pockets of the citizens to be
spent without review by any Other
body. But the authority to do this
must come from the Legislature, and
II 1t were granted, the same com
plants that are now made against the

Meanwhile. Mr.. CHURCHILL's talk o.
'wrecking the schools" and 'strug

GERMANY'S BIG GUNS.
The ~ Inch Ono Too Large for Il

To THE EpIToR or THE SuS-Str. !
nave read with much amusement what
Mr.. Thomas X. Macmechan had to say
in the interview published In THE StN
Of January 25 regarding the alleged
arming OF German battle~hips with IL
inch guns.
The statement is absurd. az I have
good reason to know. Mr. Macmechan
IL probably not aware that up to 1907
the British garrison artillery had four
l1J inch guns In its equipment OF the
niuzzle loading tyne But even In an
age OF muzzle leaders these guns were
Of very little use, as they required too
much room and were very clumsy to
handle The projectle for gun OF this
dimension would weigh eighteen and one
half hundredweight. and the charge
OF cordite necessary TO throw the proJec-
tile a distance Of ten miles would weigh
$50 pounds. The gun would have a
measurement from breech to muzzle of
at least thirty feet. and in rear OF the
gun emplacemcnt there would have to
be set a hydraulic or electric ramrner
owing TO the weight of the charge.
All this would take UP . great deal
Of valuable space, and the ammunition
IL also too bulky for battleship' =
capacity. Hut tine chief feature against
the adoption Of this large calibre gun
~ tne SnoftnesS OF lts Ire. All aTtlIieT

grooves Of the gun becoming worn down
So badly that the gas from the eNploding =

Lady GregOry's Plan.

Lady GREGORY. who has done so
much to develop the national drama
Of her own country, once outlined a
plan which she thought might with
profit be adopted in this country. She
wants TO see every large town. or at
all events the largest town in each
state. the possessor Of theatre at
which plays dealing with the life of
the community and the State should
be presented. 1t seems to her that in
this way national drama might he
built up in this country. The national
theatre. which should exist in New
York would he occupied In presenting
the most successful of these dramas.
Thus not only n literary purpose but
a patriotic end would be served.
or course so highly idcalistic form
OF theatrical enterprise could have
been suggested only by n literary
mind. The chances OF public success
for such scheme seem slight. Prl'
vate funds would have 10 he available
to make such scheme possible.
But the fact that Lady GREGoRY's
scheme has been in measure adopted
by the so.called Little Theatre of this
country shows that It possesses some
dramatic vitality. Little theatres now
exist in many cities Of the country. A
little theatre does not necessarily I'm
ply only small building. II repre-
