can prisoners and the reputation of
the attack on American troops at
Carrizal.
The rejection of proffers of medi-
alton came yesterday when Secre-
tary Lansing informed Minister
Calderon of Bolivia that the efforts
OF the Latin-American republics was
not timely and that the United
States could not consider such =
move now.
Acting on behalf of himself and
other diplomats representing Saliva
dor, Ecuador, Honduras, Costa RIGA
and Chile, Mr.. Calderon called at the
department to inquire whether the
, United States would entertain an Of
fer of good Offices from the other
American republics. Mr.. Lansing is
said to have replied that the United
States did not desire war, but that
American lives and property were
being constantly menaced, and that
it had been determined that such
menace must cease forthwith.
President Wilson has about made
up his mind that conflict with
arms with Mexico cannot be avoid
ed. He does not believe that media
ton of the present difficulty with
Mexico can possibly bring any tangi-
BILE result because of the lack of ca
pacity of the Mexican government
to carry out promises or obligations.
The assurances, given by Mexico
at the Scott-Obregon conference at
Juarez have failed to materialiZe in
friendly acts, the lives of American
citizens, both in the United States
and Mexico, are in greater jeopardy
since that conference than before it,,
and neither the president nor Secre-
tary Lansing believes that adequate
protection can be secured by further
parley. All surface indications yes
terday pointed to conflict unless
General Carranza backs down COM
pletely in his present stand.
If the men of the Tenth cavalry,
held as prisoners in Chihuahua, are
not released Immediately, it would
surprise no one here to see an order
issued forthwith to the regular army
to go to that city and get them, re-

the union was willing to arbitrate the
question of an increase in wages, but

STRIKING DRIVERS OFFER
PLAN FOR ARBITRATION

I'VE are willing to arbitrate on the
question of the increase of wages, but
we will stand pat for closed shop"
said an officed of the Teamsters and
Chauffeurs' Union, Tuesday, in discuss
ing the strike at the Cincinnati Railway
Omnibus Co. "The Omnibus Co. is
practically tied up by the members of
our organization at the present time and
they did not move any baggage yesterday.
We are willing to have the representa-
tives of our union meet with the officers
of the Omnibus Company whenever they
notify us that they will recognize our
union" said he.
Travelling men and the public in gen
eral were paying premium prices to have
their baggage moved from and to the
depots yesterday. All the baggage ex-
press companies throughout the city were
closed, Vehicles of all descriptions were
pressed into service by private individ-
uals, and they were kept busy from early
yesterday morning until late last night
hauling luggage at fancy prices, One of
these men expressed himself yesterday
by saying that "He was making hay
while the sun was shining" despite the
fact that the water was dripping off his
clothes, having been caught in the heavy
down pour during the afternoon.

SECESSION VS.. REVOLUTION.

New York-Seceders from the United
Garment Workers union point to the
American Revolutonists of 1776 TO JUS
tify their action and are answered as
follows by the Garment Worker, official
organ of the bona fde union;
"The basic difference between revolu-
tion and secession is that in one instance
an attempt is made to establish form
of government wherein all are assured of
equal rights and opportunities, while in
the other an attempt is made to with
draw from a form of government in
which all who participated in it enjoyed
equal rights and opportunity, and an at
tempt made to establish dual or op-
position form of government.
This being true it naturally follows
that when a revolution is successful, all
who participated in il are benefited, as
the people are united for a common pur-
pose and ideals, while secession move
ment, successful or otherwise, is bound
to have the opposite effect, as the con-
tending parties, instead of acting in uni
son, are antagonistic to each other, and
disruption, disorder, and chaos is the
best that can be hoped for whole the
seceders persist in their mistaken ideas"

OF the building trades, the electrical

Free Lance, organ OF the unionists, says :
"Ihc labor unions of this community
fully understand the importance and
significance of the fight. They under

Wilson'S Policy is Americanism
Can the Kaiser Defeat Question
Answer.Eecion of Hughes Proclaimed by
Their Choice Punish Wilson, Would Make Potsdan Political

Can the Kaiser defeat the President ?
The question is put by the New York
World in this, the most trenchant edito-
rial contribution to the newly opened
National campaign: .5
81 do like to consider the posi-
bility of a hyphenated vote says George
w. Wickersham, who is Mr.. Hughes
most prominent guide, counsellor and
friend. Whether Mr.. Wickersham and
Mr.. Hughes like to consider it or not,
the hyphenated vote is definite fact
that can not be disregarded.
'No other issue of the campaign is
so vital as the issue that this vote pre-
sents The followers of the Kaiser in
the United States have set out to DESTROY
President Wilson politically for the
crime of being an American President
instead of German President They
have adopted Mr. Hughes as their can
didate and made his cause their cause.
They have decreed that President Will
son must be defeated because the foreign
policies of his administration are not
satisfactory to the German Empire.
Gcrman-Americans Endorse Him.
Officials of the German-American
Alliance in Chicago had endorsed the
Hughes nomination almost before the
convention had finished its work. The
officers OF the German societies in Mil
waukee who sent their ultimatlim to the
Republican party last week, are all cor
dial in expressing their approval of the
Hughes nomination.
George Sylvester Niereck, editor of
the Faherland, which is the most
frankly disloyal and sedtious of all the
German newspapers in the United States,
declares that
1.-The nomination of Justice Hughes
means the salvation of the Republican
party. 1t is a triumph of genuine Amer
icanism over nativiSm'
George Won Skal, one of the most
active agents of the German propaganda
in New York, is as enthusiastic as Mr..
Viereck:
I'VE are convinced that President
Wilson is pro-Britsh, and that is the
reason we are going to vote against him.
Justice Hughes, therefore, will have the
support of the German American Demo

"'We have no reason to suppress the
fact that we are for Hughes, and we
have no cause to be silent about the
reasons that make him for us an ac-
ceptable candidate, which reasons are

injustice of President Wilson. An agi-

Practically all the German newspa-

All the pro-German newspapers, like
Hcarsts NeaV York american, the EVen-

for him. All the professional German
agitators are for him The German
propaganda is for him.
Whatever Mr. Hughes may say,
whatever Mr.. Hughes may do, he is the
German candidate for President of the
United States He may not welcome this
professional German support, but with
out it he could not have been nominated,
and without it he can not be elected 1t
may be unfortunate for him that he
should be placed in such position, but

'If Mr.. Hughes should be elected

be regarded throughout the world as

all civilization that the German vote, and
through the German vote the German
Government, holds the balance of power
in American politics. 1t would proclaim
to the nations that no President Of the
United States could hereafter hope for
reelection unless his foreign policy was
satisfactory to Berlin and the Kaiser.
1t would make Potsdam the political
capital of the United States, and in its
moral effect upon Germany it would be
more patent than great victory of the
German armies in the field.

 And now reluctantly my pen and Alaska part, but not forever How can I forget this big poor, rich ter ritory? So long as I can secure the public ear through my pen and voice will I try to help Alaska to her own,
 long will I advocate the making of Alaska a colony of the United States instead of a territory. This country of contradictions, with the Arctic ocean on one side, and the warm Japan current on the other;
