Along the whole front there was in

TO HUNT NEW QUARTERS
FOR JOINT COMMISSION
Mexican-American Board Shut Out
at New London by Closing
Of Hotel.

NEW LONDON. Conn, September a.
Decision as to where the Mexican-Amer-
lean joint commission shall continue its
conferences after next week has been
left to Ambassador Designate Arredondo.
representing Mexico. and William Phil
lips, third assistant secretary Of state, it
was learned tonight. It will be neces-
sary to move. because the hotel here at
which the sessions have been held will
close October 1. Atlantic City, Lake.
wood, White Sulphur Springs and Gar
den City are among the places suggested.
An early termination Of the confer
ences could be reached IL the American
commissioners were willing to agree
to the chief desire of Gen. Carranza's
drawal from Chihuahua of the Ameri-
can troops. but the American commits
sioners have made it clear that any
agreement must be based on the con-
viction that conditions warranted the
change.
Result Of Negotiations.
The net result of the three weeks
conference Is that the Americans have
added greatly to their store of in
formation relative to Mexican affairs.
and that they have endeavored to con-
vince the Mexican representatives that
whatever the United States has done
with regard to Mexico was not done
because of selfish motives.
Gen. Carranza's objection to con-
tinued discussion of Mexico's internal
affairs has not prevented a somewhat
exhaustive study of general conditions,
and 1t is not expected the Mexican
representatives will object to their
further discussion next week
Have Eyes on Chihuahua.
Both the Mexican and the American
representatives are watching with in
terest the threatened change in condi-
tions in Chihushua as a result of re-
newed activity BY the villa forces. 1t
was indicated today that continued
growth of the new bandit movement
might be made the basis for the argu-
ment that. instead Of taking the Amer.
lean troops out of Mexico. they should
be used in cooperation with Mexican
troops to run down the raiding forces.
1t became known that already there
has been some discussion of such CO.
operation.

Austin they witnessed today.
Trevino May Lose Position.
BROWNSVILLE, Tex, September %
Reports were received here today that
Gen. Jacinto Trevinos position as COM
mander of Carranza troops in northern
Mexico has been seriously jeopardized
by his failure to prepare for the at
tack on Chihuahua City by Villa last
Saturday. The reports have it that his
successor already has been selected in
the person of Gen. E. P. Nafarrate, now
commander at Tamaulipas.
There was no truth in the reported
capture of Victoria. Mexico, several
days ago by bandits under command of
Alberto Carrera-Torres, according to
reliable information received here to-
day.
Ell PASO Tex, September 23.-Three
military trains which had been ham
ding reinforcements to Carranza gar

was there.

SOCIALIST DISCUSSES
DEFENSIVE WARFARE"
Speaker at Conference Is Believer in
Peace and as Such Endorses
Police Power.

BALTIMORE, Md, September 2S.-J.
G. Phelps Stokes, president Of the In
tercollegiate Socialist Society. at to-
nights session of the conference at
Sherwood Forest, declared that it was
because he was an ardent believer In
peace that he believed Gin the exercise
Of police power by democratically or
ganized societies throughout their
various units great as well as small"
Substance Of Address.
The topic of Mr. Stokes address was
Defensive Warfare" and he spoke, in
part. as follows:
He is no good citizen who quietly
acquiesces where wrong is done his
fellow, and when, being able to help,
he does nothing: particularly II being
asked to help, he refuses such aid as
he is able to give. Doubtless a mere
voice Of protest will check a wrong at
times. but often the wrong advances
more rapidly than the voice can fol-
either voice or body can be interposed
to stop 1t. and there are times when
nothing can move swiftly enough to
check 1t save the winged messengers
of death.
When War Is Necessary.
where the wrong is so fragrant as
to arouse a whole people to its mon
and where it is advancing
too rapidly to be stopped by other
means. war on the part of the outraged
people may be not only right but essen
tial. And such just and moral war
need not be defensive merely. Aggres-
sive war to stop a hideous and a mon
strous wrong may be highly moral, and
refusal to wage it may be base and
ignoble and craven"
