No Progress in Mexico.

FL Paso correspondents have learned from
authoritative sources that at the international
border conference Gen. Obregon and his col
leagues renewed the request of Carranza that the
American troops be withdrawn from Mexico This
is exactly what was expected n this country.
The further announcement however, that Gen.
Scott and Gen. Funston replied that they were
not empowered to discuss the withdrawal of Gen.
Pershings force is a surprise. The impression
existed here that the border conference was held
for this very purpose, since it was not known that
any other issue pending between Washing
ton and the de facto government. Whatever other
question may be involved, which Scott and Per-
shing empowered to discuss, the absolute
silence of the administration upon the result of
the first conference is logically accepted as an
admission that substantial or satisfactory prog
ress was made
1t is quite obvious that Carranza has the upper
hand in the present controversy. He is we'll
aware that this government is not prepared to re-
sst his demand for the withdrawal of the troops,
and that its efforts must necessarily be limited to
persuading him to abandon it, Carranza has
never given any indications Of being open to
persuasion any subject, and the tone of resent
ment in his note, due to the dispatch of the
punitive expedition in defiance of his protest,
would seem to preclude the expectation that he
may be induced to reconsider. He realizes of
course that if he Stands pat" there will be moth
ing for the United States to do but withdraw its
poorly equipped little army, whereupon he will
become at least great popular hero in Mexico
as Villa
The persistence of the administration in its
efforts to continue the Villa hunt appears to have
little public support, and it would seem that the
President never hope to find himself in har-
mony with the people in his Mexican policy Not
improbably the knowledge that in our present
condition of unpreparedness, an insufficient army
has been sent into Mexico in defiance of the de
facto government instead of with its cooperation
has inspired the wish to Pershng and his
soldiers safely home. At any rate the wish is
likely soon to be gratified.

When l came to Stockholm to stay for a
while, one OF the writers l happened to meet
shortly afterward said: "The first thing you
ought to do is to buy a pair of rubbers" 1t
seemed queer advice and ! quickly forgot It.
also forgot that the words were followed by
this injunction: "And be sure to have your
initials put into them at the store"
The time came when | had occasion to re-
call both points. 1t gradually dawned upon
me that, in Stockholm, going without rubbers
meant either extreme discomfort, spending
ones substance in paying for taxicab rides. Not
that cabs were expensive. Judged by American
standards, they were ridiculously cheap. For
so cents one could secure transportation that at
home would cost at least 81. But could not
be forever calling "tahx" and there such
thing enjoying a walk. When, finally, l
yielded in the matter rubbers, l was informed
in English by the polite young woman that
waited me, that, early in the winter, every
one in Stockholm put rubbers and never
thought of going without them until spring She
asked me if l wouldn't have my initials put into
mine and in spite of that advice, | stupidity told
her not to bother
That remark cost the exact price OF the
rubbers within the space of less than a week

Thomas Mott Osborne, former warden of Sing
Sing, has been exonerated of all the charges
brought against him by his enemies with the
exception of that Of neglect of duty, upon which
he is soon to be tried As a matter of fact
this is the only charge against him that should
ever have been entertained. No one believed
for moment that he guilty OF perjury or
immortality and his opponents greatly weakened
their case by these accusations. It remains to
be seen whether his zeal for radical reforms in
prison methods led him to disregard the duties
Of his Office 1t has been predicted that in the
event of his acquittal of all the charges he will
be restored to the office of warden, but this
may well be doubted. He is too much of an
idealist and enthusiast for a successful head of
penitentiary and whatever may be said in
favor Of his methods it must be recognized that
he made joke of Sing Sing and gave it a
reputation not at all desirable for penal insti-
tuition
