AsSAIL POLICY OF U. S. IN LATIN
AMERICA.
conspirators Desire to See Gen. Scott
in National Palace, Govern
ment organ Says.

Mexico City, Mexico.-The govern
ment newspapers in the editorials to-
day make savage attacks on the pol
icy of the United States in Latin
America which they denounce as i'm
perialistic and hypocritical. Col.
Roosevelt is charged with trying to
foment war and the newspapers as
sert that President Wilson is unable
to cope with this Campaign of the
Republican party"
One of the principal administration
organs says:
THE Mexican nation cannot permit
itself to be made the tool of the
Yankee felony or submit to the cor
ruption of American gold"
The American conspirators are aid
ed by the Vaccinations of Mexicans
who desire to see Gen. Scott in the
national palace, tutor OF government
presided over by Calero, Angeles,
Gamboa and De LaGarza.
Foreign Minister Aguilar issued a
statement saying that in spite of the
agreement made by General Scott
with General Oregon that no more
American troops would cross the
border 400 of the United States
troops have entered Mexican territory
in pursuit of bandits near Boquillas.
The statement says that those troops
have now been withdrawn from Next
can soil.

MEXICAN PAPERS PEEVED NOT TO DEBATE IRELAND
QUESTION WILL NOT COME UP
IN COMMONS.
Leaders of All Factions Agree That
Premier Is Sincere in Effort
to Effect Settlement.

London, England.-The house of
commons was the scene of an unusual
demonstration of unity when the lead
ers of all factions came to the stand
ard of the prime minister in an effort
for a lasting settlement of the Irish
question. A heated and acriminious
debate, it had been predicted, would
follow Premier Asquith's expected
statement regarding the situation, but
Asquith's speech took an unexpected
turn. Instead of giving details, he
made an earnest plea for the settle
ment of the Irish question by agree
ment among the the contending
parties in Ireland, and announced that
David Lloyd-George had undertaken
the delicate taskk of bringing the
hostile factions together.
The premier concluded with an ap-
peal that for the time all debate on
the question, both in the house of
commons and outside, be suspended
in view of the adverse effects such
an argument might have in the diff
cult undertaking facing the govern
ment.

KAISER READY TO TALK PEACE
Continued Successes in Arms Would
Free Valiant Country Of Any
Charge of Weakness.

Berlin, Germany.-In connection with
Germanys readiness for peace, your
correspondent is in position to in
dictate certain views which are held
in the highest official quarters:
Germany is ready to make peace
now or at any future time.
The German government is willing
to talk peace, not only because the
bulk of the German people naturally
want peace and because in view of
the increasing strength of Germany's
position, this expressed desire for
new peace cannot be interpreted as
a sign of weakness by her enemies,
thus tending to prolong the war, but
also because according to the present
military situation Germany has more
than accomplished her aim in war,
namely, to secure her boundaries
against the future possibility of inva-
sion and now hold more than enough
enemy territory as pawns to warrant
participation in peace conference.
In other words, there is more than
strong hint here that a bargain
peace is to be had for quick takers
now, but that the price of peace will
be advanced in the near future and
will continue to go up the longer Ger
many's enemies hold off.

Shameful Progress

The last general assembly Of this
state appropriated the sum OF $12,5Ol
for the use and benefit Of the blind
of Missouri, conditioned upon tbs
raising of a like amount by private
subscription. The Missouri Commits
sion has devoted much time to the
campaign, and so far has secured
only $50 toward the amount.
A st. Louis paper in an editorial
on the subject has the following:
"The amount collected by the Mis-
souri, Commission for the Blind is now
$59.25. This is pitiful, shameful, un.
pardonable The commission must
raise $12,5oO in order to get the s12,
500 appropriation which the last leg
isIature provided with a string
What a ridiculous thing it is to
contemplate the donation of $59.25 by
the people of the state of Missouri tc
the most deserving afflicted for whom
the public of this state are RESPONSE
BILE.
"The pubic doesn't seem to realize
that if $12,500 is not raised through
public subscription, not one cent will
be available from the state, and there
will be no money to care for the Mis-.
souri, blind. We are certain the peo
pie will not tolerate this condition
Add a mite now and demand from
the next legislature a reasonable
sum-"

INTENDED FOR ALL ALLIES
To Submit VIII Permit Further Vio-

Observation-Disclosures asserting
the principle that neutral mails are
inviolable, President Wilson has
warned Great Britain and France
that this government will no longer
tolerate interference with genuine
correspondence" passing between the
United States and other neutral ma
lions or between the United States
and the enemies of the allied powers.
Genuine correspondence" is in
ferpreted by the United States to
include shipping documents, money
order lists and other papers of that
character, even though relating to
"enemy supplies or exports" unless
they are carried on the same ship
with property admittedly subject to
belligerent inspection.
The American note, which, while
addressed to England, is intended as
much for France as it is for Great
Britain, was delivered to both the
British and French Ambassadors, who
are assumed to have transmitted it
without delay to their respective gov
fish embassy called at the state depart

tary of State Lansing, presumably on
questions raised in the note.

renewing the American protest against
the British long-range blockade, which
Germany has described as an effort

ton, also will be forwarded soon to
the London foreign office.
After reviewing a series of specific
losses that have resulted to Ameri-

ence with their mails-losses for
which the United States notified
Great Britain and France they will
be held responsible-the president,
through Secretary Lansing, tersely an
nounced the governments position on
the mail question in this language
THE government of the United
States, in viewing the improper meth
DDS employed by the British and
French authorities in interrupting
mails between the United States and
the enemies of Great Britain, and be-
tween the United States and other
neutral nations, cannot longer tolerate
the wrongs which citizens of the Unit
ed States have suffered and continue
to suffer through the methods"
ITO submit" the note continues,
a. to a lawless practice of this char
acter would open the door to repeated
violations OF international law by the
belligerent powers on the ground of
military necessity of which the vio-
lator would be the sole Judge. Mani
