WILL AMERICA RIDDEN MEXICO?
Now that the election is over and
Mr.. Wilson has been entrusted with the
years, there is one piece Of work that
will foreibly demand his attention and
that is the pacification Of Mexico.
We are we'll aware that the Mexican
problem presents great difficulties, view
it from whatever angle we may. But
they are difficulties Aac may ald can
be overcome, and az time goes on it be
comes more and more apparent that 1t
is up to the United States to overcome
them
The truth. Of the ahot. matter is that
Mexico is suffering. from the same mis-
rule from which we freed Cuba-the
uHoadent Spanish rnle.
Mexico is a II bubble only in name.
Not the first prl2ei pie - popular rule
has ever prevailed ii that country. The
forces that have always controlled her
destiny have been those bequeathed by
Spain. -
With misrule and oppression on the
one hand, and sulien hatred and re-
sentiment on the other, it is small won
der that she has been In perpetual
state Of unrest and turbulence.

FURTHER BLACKLIST
DISCUSSION EXPECTED
London Times" Calls Grey's
Reply Convincing"

Washington, Nov. 15.-Further nego-
tiations between the American and
British governments over the blacklist
were considered certain to-day. A Brit
ism reply, il is felt, leaves open the
door for further exchanges.
London, Nov. 15.-"The Times" COM
menting on Viscount Grey's note 70
the United States in regard TO the
British blacklist, says:
1.-The reasoning Of this convincing
document must satisfy the government
and people Of the United States that
they have misunderstood the measure
against which they thought 1t right TO
protest. Their note declared that these
measures were inconsistent with the
rights of neutrals. Viscount Grey joins
issue upon this contention and proves
that they do not impair neutral rights,
"a the statute is a piece of purely mu-
nicipsl legislation. We have too high
an opinion of American sense OF JUS
tice and law TO suppose that our right,
legal and moral, TO adopt these meas
ures can seriously be disputed once
their true character is understood"
Anything short Of "a complete aban-
donment of the blacklist policy Is
unsatisfactory TO the Association %

duke was waiting in the rear to inspect
the regiment when it left the fighting

Battle with Grenades
The majority OF the infantry fighting
was done with grenades instead Of bay
onets. The British swarmed over the
surface between the trench lines and
hurled showers of bombs into the Ger
man dugouts and shelters, capturing in
quick succession seven parallel rows
of the main German trenches between
BEAUMONT Hamel and Beaucourt.
Prisoners from the Pruss,an Guards
said that the terrific British lombard
ment destroyed the machine gun en-
placements and made resistance TO the
infantry charge impossible. They said
they were cut of from their reserves
on an entire front OF seven miles which
was isolated by the British curtain fire.
They declared they were glad to sur
render.
A tank which helped 70 destroy ma
chine gun positions at the bottom Of
the valley south of the Ancre was at
tackled with bombs by the Germans,
who swarmed about IL in large mum
bers. All of the attackers were killed
by the guns of the tank.
Two-thirds or the British casualties
south of the Ancre were walking cases.
The total losses were lighter in pro-
portion than in any previous operation
of the last four months.
The British attack was pressed con-
tinuously last night. All ground as
far as Beaucourt has been well con-
solidated, and the troops are pushing
beyond Feenele. The Germans so far
have not attempted any counter at
tacks.

ton Illegal and Void,
Russia Declares

Landau. Nov. f5.-The diplomatic
representatives OF Russia, wires heu-
ter's Petrograd correspondent, have
been instructed to hand to the govern
ments TO which they are accredited the
following protest against the Austro-
German proclamation establishing the
Polish kingdom:
ain defiance OF the laws Of nations,
the German and Austro- Hungarian mil
itary authorities at Warsaw and at
Lublin have proclaimed the Russian
provinces OF Poland henceforth TO form
"A separate state.
"Thc Imperial Russian government
protests against this act as a tresn
violation of an international convention
solomnly sworn to by Austria-Hungary
and Germany, and declares it null and
void. 1t rearfirms that the provinces
Of the kingdom Of Poland have not
ceased to form an integral part OF the
Russian Empire and that their inhab-
itants will be bound by the oath OF
fidelity which they took TO the En-
peror, my august master"

tory and to maintain IT on the OASIS OF
autonomy under Russian sovereignty

day The statement says:
"The object Of our enemies evidently
is TO obtain an addition to their
armies. The imperial government re-
CARDS this action on the part of Ger
many and Austria Hungary as a fresh,
gross infringement by our enemies OF
the fundamental principles of interna-
tional law which prohibits the populs-
tion in miltarily occupied territory
being forced to raise armies against
its own country.
Russia, since the beginning Of the
war, has twice previously expressed
her views on the entire Polish ques-
ton. Her intention is to create COM
pete Poland, embracing all Polish ter
ritories. which will enjoy the right,
when the war is ended, of freely regu-
lating their national, intellectual and
economic life on the basis of autonomy
under the so ereignty Of Russia, and
maintaining The principle of a united
state This decision Of His Gracious
Majesty remains unshakable."

Following close upon the FIRST ranks

quilted in the sea Of fog until they were
almost within striking distance OF the

surrendered Immediately. Tho British
wave sUrged forward over tho first and
second lines Of trenches.
BY this time the Germans IN the back
lines had been warned and, Tallying,
opened up a deadly fire on the advane-
ing columns. For hours the British
commanders knew almost nothing OF
what was going on beyond the blanket
Of fog. except what came 70 them from
messengers.
soon after the troops had leaped
from the trenches. however. German
prisoners began coming back in droves
and the chiefs knew that their men
were plunging on 70 victory even
greater than they had hoped for.
British Held on Left
The left wing Of the British attack
ing force found progress extremely df-
fcut but the centre and right wing
pushed on resolutely and almost with
out pause. The counter attack OF the
German right wing came quickly and
Vas uniformly successful.

British soldiers and commanders knew
hat they had won a magnificent sue

This last Job was no simple one. In

snent months in labor and vast
amour: Of money in constructing what

as impregnable defences.
A labyrinth of dirt, stone and con-
crete tunnels connected each position
with the others. The Germans could
pass from trench TO trench and from

heads above the ground.
The British conquerors found that
some of these underground passages
ran for miles. Most of them were

New Gains by Falkenhayn
Darker Balkan Situa-

London, Nov. 16.-Strong reinforce
ments received by Falkenhayn have
been poured into the passes OF North
ern Rumania, and by sheer weight OF
numbers have definitely turned the tide
OF battle.
! IN the Alt Valley the Teutons have
/ reached a point near Brezoin, only ten
miles from Jiblea and the railroad TO
/ Bucharest, their immediate detectives.
/ In the valley Of the jul the Rumanians
I have been compelled 70 fall back to

mans captured 1900 prisoners.
Clear Weather Aids Teutons
( in the first few days Of his offensive
in these sectors Falkenhayn's pace was
so slow as TO Undue the Rumaninns
with confidence that their lines could
not be broken. This, however, was
due mainly to the bad weather condi-
/ tions.
/ With the clearing Of the skies and
the drying up of the ground the prog
ress Of the invaders has been discon-
certingly swift and empowering.
London. most optimistic a short time
ago. is now patiently uneasy about the
shift in affairs. The situation in the
East seems darker at the present mo-
ment than at any other time since
Bucharest interviewed in the war.
The only cheering news of the Ru-
manian situation to-day came from the
Moldavian and Dobrudja fronts. Along
the Moldavian border Ferdinand's
troops took the offensive on a wide
front and pursued the enemy beyond
the frontier.
The Entente forces In the Dobrudjs
continued their steady southwark sweep
along the entire front, and wrested the
village of Beasie, on the Danube, from
Msckensen.
Serbs Are Unchecked

of booty taken by Mackensen in Con-
stanza, the chief seaport of Dobrudja,
as unusually large. The supplies in
cluded 10000 tons Of petroleum, $1,000

At the final descent in the trail with
the Buckskin blanknesses showing
hotly beyond the curtaining pines
they passed at a step from romance to
the crude realities.
The realities were basing themselves
upon the advent of two newcomers,
riding down the Chigringo trail to the
ford which had been the scene of the
fish slaughtering; sunburnt young
man in goatskin chaps" flannel shirt
and a Tapping Stetson, and a girl
whose face reminded Brouillard of one
of the Madonnas, whose name and
painter he strove vainly to recall. Ten
seconds farther along the horses of
the pair were smiling suspiciously at
the automobile, and the young man
under the tapping hat was telling Van
Bruce Cartwright what he thought of
cartridge fishermen in general, and
Of this present cartridge fisherman in
particular.
