CARRANZA A SUPPLIANT

The props have been knocked from
under General Carranza's strongest
contentious against the presence OF
United States troops on Mexican SOIL,
in that there was no longer any ne
cesscity for General Persning's COM
nand remaining as the Villa bandits
had been dispersed, and that the de
facto government was perfectly able TO
cone with the situation and keep peace
along the border 1t was Villa, him.
self. who knocked these props away.
And it was Villa who attracted the
pursuit OF American troops for the
purpose OF disconcerting and annoying
Carranza.
The sudden springing up OF villa,
lust when Carranza had forced the
United States into a belief that he
would be able to control the situation
In Northern Mexico, and smashing
the Carranza forces, is a humiliatlng
antt-climax to the bombasuc preten-
sions Of the First Chief. More than
that, 1t wholly discredits the state
ments made by Carranza to this gov
eminent In asking the withdrawal OF
our troops. All defiance is gone now.
All the subterfuge has been exposed
by Villas successful coup. Instead OF
the arrogant dictator Carranza now
becomes the suppliant. He has re-
Quested the help Of the American army
to save him from. the cut-throat and
bandit.
1t certainly is a swift reversion OF
the situation. But it shows above all
other things that if order in Northern
Mexico is to be restored and peace
maintained along the Texas border
that it will have to be accomplished
by the. American army. The incident
is distinguished as a development OF
one Of the greatest ironles that could
possibly have happened.

has little or no credit in the money

could be easily closed by our navy

along this line has been adopted by
great western railroad company, the
Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe rail
road, which has just established plan
Of death benefits TO the families Of its
employees. So far as we are Informed
this road is the first of the great trans
portation systems 10 adopt the insur-
ance system. although some have bene-
fit associations organized by employees
partially aided by the roads.
According 10 an announcement made
by the President of the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fee road, payments
are 10 be made by the company equal
10 5 per cent of the employees last
twelve months salary, multiplied by
the number Of years Of continuous
service. The minimum payment in
any case, will be $3.50 and the maxi
mum $4,000. Every man working for
the railway system two years thus
automatically becomes the beneficiary
Of an Insurance policy that will cost
him nothing. It will mean peace OF
mind to thousands OF men who feel
that they will not be obliged to leave
their families in actual want.
In this way are the relations he.
twee employers and employee chang
ing, and the changes are not the re-
suit Of strikes or Of threats OF or
ganized labor or Of coercion in any
form. The new conditions Indicate a
closer bond of human relationship that
coordinate with the close bonds OF IN
dustrial association. The world Is
making progress in spite Of the croak-
ers. and today men and women gen.
orally are working under more favor
able conditions than were ever
dreamed Of before.

U. S. CLAIMS REJECTED
BRITISH SAY BLACKLIST PURELY
DOMESTIC LEGISLATION.
English Reply to Wilson Note De.
elares There Is Long and Bitter
Struggle Before World War Ends.

Washington.-Great Britain's reply
n President Wilson's note Of last
July. protesting against the blacklist.
ing OF American business firms and
individuals. was made public at the
State Department. 1t is rejection OF
the American contentious based on
the ground that the British blacklist
is purely domestic legislation.
Secretary Lansing indicated that
the United States will continue the
legal argument involved in the dipao-
matte communications.
The chief defense which the Brit
ish government advances In support oi
the blacklist is contained In u single
paragraph. This paragraph reads:
II can scarcely believe that the
United States government intends to
challenge the right OF Great Britain as
a sovereign state to pass legislation
prohibiting all those who owe ncr al
legiance from trading with any spect'
fled persons when such prohibition Is
found necessary In the public inter
est"
President Wilson. in his note. char.
acterized the blacklist as arbitrary
interference with neutral trade
against which It is Its (the United
States') duty TO protest in the most
decided ferns"
Great Britain in the reply says the
blacklist is not aimed at neutral trade
at all. but is simply "the exercise OF
tie sovereign right OF an independent
state over Its own citizens and moth
Ing more"
In conclusion the British govern
ment indicates that the true remedy
would be for Americans to refrain
from n species OF trade which exposes
innocent commerce to suspicion.
A part which attracted much Off
cial notice dealt with the subject o
peace. based on the theory that one
American contention had been thai
there exists no military necessity fol

Even though the military, situation
Of the allies has greatly improved

Washington.-The serious discus
sion of peace prospects in belligerent
countries has made a profound I'M
preston upon administration and dip
lomatic circles here. The intimations
from European capitals that Presi-
dent Wilson has q peace movement
under way were interpreted here to
mean that the diplomats and consular
officers of the United States are
sounding out opinion abroad among
the peoples as well as the govern
ments of the fighting nations.
There has been a strong belief here
Tor several weeks that President Will
son hoped to make visible effort
toward peace in Europe as soon as the
Mexican situation had been composed
to the point of reasonable certainty
that this country would not have to
20 to war with Mexico.
The report has gained strength of
late from the general belief that all
the belligerent powers are near the
national law may not hold them in
check.
Diplomats will not discuss what the
aear future may have in store for the
world, but those from neutral coun-
tries almost without exception look to
President Wilson to set on foot soon

erents an opportunity without loss OF
prestige to any, to discuss possible
peace terms.
There are several ways suggested
for the President to make the momen-
tous suggestion, but the two receiving

are said to be:

q temporary character. for the pur-
pose of permitting the representa-
tives of the several belligerents to

tured from the German and Bulgarian

town Of Monastir. according to an Of.
ficial announcement made by the
French War Department.
The temporary capital of Serbia
will Immediately be established at
Monastir. Considerable forces Of
Serbs are with the entente allied
troops who have occupied that town.
News of the occupation of the Ser
bian town of Monastir by French
troops was received in Paris as one
OF the most important of the late de-
velopments of the war. 1t came too
late for general comment in the
French press.
1t is pointed out in Berlin that Mon.
astir is likely to be a very uncomfort-
able place for the entente allied
troops. as the new Bulgar-German po-
sitions command the town in the
same manner as 1t was previously
commanded by the enemy guns.
lie Temps points out that the sue
cess is likely to have q great influ.
ence on subsequent developments in
the Balkan campaign. as the place
commands all the practical routes be-
