vasion and that it was "in truth and
in fact" an act of war. OF course the
Presidents objection to admitting that
he had sent force into Mexico
against Carranza's protest was that 1t
would puncture the Democratic slog-
an, HE has kept us out of war -
Nevertheless, Mr.. Wilson's misrepre-
Sc ntation of the facts affords Carranza
ground for contending that Mr.. Wilson
knew 1t was not proper to send the
troops in without his consent 1t was
on the same ground that Carranza or
dered his troops to fire on the Ameri-
cans at Carnival, that his men did sc
fire and kill seventeen American sol
diers. His Ambassador in Washing
ton informed the administration that
the Mexican trops fired by order of
Carranza, and as the administration
in Washington never resented the fir
ing, Carranza will doubtless use that
fact as proving that. Mr. Wilson knew
he was in the wrong when he ordered
the troops into Mexico, knew he had
no ground for a protest and must now
know the demand for indemnity IL
just What the outcome of the Car
rama demand will be none can foretell

principles of international law and no
consistency or continuity of policy

(From Our Regular Correspondent

Congress RecOrd-The record Of
the first session OF the SiXty-fourth
Congress may be summed up in four
words, profligate extravaganza, vac
|cillation and neglect. The frightful
extravaganza has already been review
ed in this correspondence. While the
administration, after denouncing as
"hysterical" those who urged adequate
preparedness, recommended some eX-
cellent measures for self defense II en-
couraged Rep. Hay and the Demo-
cratic majorties to pass an army bill
which has already proved a failure
which settled nothing, and which
leaves the work to be done all over
again, The first emergency which
arose necessistated calling out the
militia, at terrible expense to the gov
eminent and fearful sacrifice to the
national guardsmen, and this neces-
sity of calling on the national guard
to do police work which should be
performed by the regular army still
exists and will continue to exist until
an adequate Army bill has been sub
stituted for the Hay bill AS the New
York Tribune remarks, "The Hay bill
was more objectionable than a crime"
Such legislation is typical of the kind
OF preparedness" to be expected from
a party at heart opposed to prepared
ness and which becomes converted to
the idea only on the eve OF a national
election.

Wilson Would Finance Carranza-
President Wilson is most anxious tC
finance Carranza. if not by the pay
ment of 100000, 900 as an indemnity
at least by effecting a loan from Amer
lean bankers to the CarranZa faction
Fortunately, there is no machinery
whereby the President can loan funds
in the Treasury to a foreign govern
ment or faction, or even sell United
States bonds to raise money so to
loan. Mr. Wilson has, therefore, in
structed his Secretary of the Interior
Mr.. Lane, to attempt to induce Amer
lean bankers to loan Carranza $3.50
100000. The bankers are wholly I'M
willing to make such loan unless
the United States will guarantee its
repayment. MeXicos bonded indebt-
edness now amounts to over $500, 000-
600 gold, and there is outstanding a
fiat currency in excess of 100000 900.
Of course, II Mr.. wilson can devise
a method whereby he can obligate this
government to stand back of the loan
the bankers will cheerfully make it,
but not otherwise. So far as can be
seen now, the only method which
could be employed would be to scale
Carranza's demand for an indemnity
from 5000, 100000 down to $15O,OOO, 900
the amount of the desired loan, and
then, instead of asking Congress to

Carranza's Demand-The first con-
crete result Of the Mexican Conference
is II demand by Carranza for an in
demnity of 100000, 900 from the Unit
ed States because II violated Mexican
sovereignty by sending General PERISH
ing's command into Mexico. When
President Wilson sent Pershing into
Mexico he announced that he did so
with the full consent OF Carranza.
Subsequent events proved that this
statement had not basis In fact and
that Carranza had persistently and
emphatically protested against the In

Hughes Attacks Shipping Bill-Gov.
Hughes has vigorously attacked the
McAdoo-W Wilson Shipping bill as "a
direct menace to the shipping inter-
ests of this country" and as "promis-
ing nothing but disaster to the ship
ping of the United States" Mr.
Hughes points cut that under the pro-
visions Of the Shipping bill the Gov
eminent may build or purchase, char
ter or lease foreign built ships. and
having so acquired such sliis may
dispose of them in any way il secs
fit OF course in view of the demand
incident to the European war, no ships
can be built or purchased, chartered
or leased except at eXhorbitant prices.
No ships can be built in tlc shipyards
of this country, which are already
crowded to the limit. and probably no
ships could be built anywhere before
the war ended. Any ships purchased
now would have to be purchased
abroad and after the war ends would
be sold or chartered at great loss to
the Government and would come into
direct and ruinous competition with
American ship builders and ship own
ers. Ostensibly, the Shipping bill was
designed to relieve the high freight
rates incident to the war. Because the
President would not consent to having
il so amended as to prevent the pur-
chase of ships from the belligerents,
which purchase, as Senator Bankhead
has pointed out, "wOuld have newt
ably led to war" it failed. And pass
ed now it is too late to accomplish any
good during the war and can accom-
plish only injury after the war is
over.

villages until Turkish troops had
taken full possession. But this meant
for Jew and Christian only change
of prosecutors. Feeling the cruel
hand of the Turks at their threats
many fed on the first ships. 1t has
been reported that at least 10000
Jews took refuge in Alexandria
alone.
The agricultural colonies planted
by the Jews in different parts of Pal
estine were in many cases destroyed.
Those who could not leave the coun-
try are reported to be suffering al
most to the point of starvation. Many
thousands rely for their support upon
charity sent from America and Eu-
rope. On account of the war these
contributions fell almost to nothing,
so that thousands faced absolute
starvation. A little relief did come
later, when some American philan-
thropists sent shiploads of food and
supplies to save the lives of the suf-
fering Jews and Christians.
Next came new regulations from
the Turkish government. An edict
was promulgated that all who did
not take the oath of allegiance to
the Turkish government and did not
become actual citizens under Turkish
law had to leave the country at once,
as otherwise they would be accused
of being spies. AS most of the nom
Mohammedan population comes from
various parts of Europe and America
few only coming from Germany, there
was some FEASIBILITY in the edict
against which none could protest. A
Russian, an Englishman or French
man was certainly not to be trusted,
! according to Turkish ideas, when
Turkey was at war with these coun-
tries.
Under the pressure brought to bear
many thousands of Christians and
Jews in Palestine are forswearing
their native lands, and accepting
Turkish citizenship as means of
saving their lives.
A year or two ago it might havo
been possible to have restored to Pal
estine something of it's pristine plen-
ty and fruitfulness, but with the COM
ing of war, followed by the expulsion
of many of he most progressive set
tiers who had started agricultural
colonies, these hopes have faded
away. Today it seems as if war
would once more seal the fate of the
Holy Land.

SOLDIER WEARS HIS
RIB IN HIS JAW
Victims of European Conflict Furnish
Many Instances of Mastery Sur
gicaI Operations.

Part of the rib of a Toronto sol
der has become his new jaw. This
little masterpiece of surgery has just
been wrought upon one of the 500
invalids who recently returned from
the Canadian army corps fighting in
France, says the Philadelphia Record.
The subject, a private lost a big
section of the bone from the back
portion of his lower jaw-carried
away by a high explosive shell at
Ypres. Reaching Toronto he was
badly disfgured, as the cheek had
fallen in. Surgeons decided to oper-
ate but they must have piece OF
bone to fill in the gap, so they remov-
ed a piece of one of the mans own
ribs, of the least use to him, and built
it into his face where the JaWoone
had been before.
The result from the point OF restor-
ing the face to it's exact former shape
has not. yet been determined, but the
surgeons admit it is one of the best
operations performed so far upon any
of the invalided Canadians.

Mr.. CRISP WAKES UP
WASHINGTON CITY
WOULD HAVE PROPERTY OWN
ERS TO PAY TAXES JUST
LIKE OTHER PEOPLE.
WOULD SAVE SIX MILLIONS

The People of the United States Now
Pay Half the Expense of Admins
tering the Local Government of
That City.
WASHINGTON.-No more radical
change has been proposed in the dis
trict government in thirty-five years
than the abolition of the half-and-
half principle by which as much
again is raised here by direct tax
alton, the amount yearly donated to
the district exceeding $6,000,000.
The proposal is made by Repre-
sentative Charles R. Crisp, of Geor-
gia, and it has stirred Washington as
that city has not been stirred before
in many years.
Means Big Saving.
Representative Crisp's proposal
means, if it is successful, an annual
saving of $6,OOO,OO0 to the people
of the States. 1t is the contention of
Representative Crisp that the prop
erty owners of the capital city should
pay taxes as those in other cities,
and that the citizens of Washington
should pay all of their municipal ex-
penses the same as is done every
where else.
In a report submitted by a joint
investigating committee of the house
and senate the other day Mr.. Crisps
position was absolutely sustained,
and bill carrying out his sugges-
lions was ordered prepared and sub
mitted to congress.
There are many contentious re-
garding it. The only advantage pos
sessed by other cities and not enjoyed
by residents of Washington is its
franchise. But how long would those
same citizens tolerate any proposal
to remove the capital elsewhere, and
leave their city wholly to them, lock,
stock and barrel?
Complains of Tax Rate.
Complaint was made as to the rate
of taxation. In answer Mr.. Crisp
pointed out that under the present
arrangement there is no tax whatever
upon stocks, bonds and money in the
district. If personal property of this
the rate would necessarily be low
cred.
It is going to mean a strong, hard
fight before the end is reached, and
Mr.. Crisp is well equipped to con-
duct it.
