plies. How far into Mexico he

ranch who is in Port Aransas on

from Gen. Bell.
What is regarded by American
army officers as official rcpudia-
-tion of the agreement entered in
to by Gems. Pershing and Gavira
was contained in a curt message
from Gen. Jacinto Trevino to Gen.
Pershing, informing him that
Gen. Gavira had no authority to
discuss military subjects with him.
Gen. Pershing sent a copy of Gen.
Trevino s message to department
headquarters here.
The agreement between Gems.
Pershing and Gavira had to do
with disposition Of troops in the
territory controlled by the Ameri-
can punitive expedition and was
intended as a precaution that

~ BAINRRIDaE COLBY

Chicago, June 12.The Pro-
Rressives have sustained q head-on
collision with their leader. That
fact Is manifest. He is to look the
situation over and decide what to
do, but We, too, will look the field
over and determine what we will
do. T3S
For many weeks it has been evi-
dent that the vehement attacks Of
Colonel Roosevelt upon the Presi-
dent were precluding that free
dom of decision on the part Of the
Colonel necessary for the highest
leadership Of an Independent
party, with principles Of it's own
aand . sense Of its mission. His
denunciation of Wilson left the
Colonel at the mercy Of the Re
publican party. If Wilson is un-
believedly bad and so the Col
onel, in the intensity of his oppo-
sition, apparently thinks-he
cannot hesitate to support the
party which offers numerically
the hest promise of the President s
overthrow.
It is this outstanding fact and
its controlling logic which gave
such sickly hue to the futile
strategy of the Progressive me.
xotiatorsA and made the wire to
Oyster Bay, and the messages it
carried, irrelevant and immaterial
to q situation, largely Of the Col
onel 5 making, and which he tardi-
ly recognized.
1t is easier to get excited about
q subject than to think about IT,
and the Progressives propose to do
a little thinking and leave the tan
trums to others. Among other
things they desire to do justice
to q president who has been called
.sspon To- apf viii. 4 I 1
:mosf Ueycnd hddixn faculty, and
who has enlared witk unflineh-
ing steadiness q volume Of criti-
cism which has no parallel in our
history since Lincoln's time:
We recall the answer OF Lin
coin to the cry in 1864, that his
administration was merely
stumbling along"
cit may be true," said Lincoln,
"but please God, I think we are
stumbling along in the right dl-
rection."
IF the President has stumbled
has it been in the right direction?
This is worthy of a little re-
Election, and the Progressives are
thinking.
Bainbridge Colby, a New York
lawyer. made the speech nominat-
ing Colonel Roosevelt in the Pro-
pressive convention in Chicago
last Saturday. Four years ago he
was one of the most active work
-ers for Roosevelt for the Republi-
can nomination for President and
became q Progressive leader in the
1912 campaign. His pamphlet,
ga Stolen Nomination for the
Presidency was widely circulat-
ed by the Progressives.

Fought Duel In Air.

PARIS, April ga French aero
plane and Zeppelin fought duel four
thousand metres in the air off Zee
briggs, Belgium today. The aeroplane
which returned to its base safely, fired
nine incendiary shells, apparently
damaging the Zeppelin.
The engagement occurred this morn
ing at o'clock, just as day was break
ing, and was fought out two miles
above the earth.
While this duel was in progress,
another French aeroplane armed with
cannon fired many projectiles on a
German torpedo boat off Ostend. The
torpedo boat is believed to have been
seriously crippled, as it retired pre-
cautiously in the direction of Zee
hruggs, the Teuton naval base.
A German aeroplane of the Fokker
type, the largest and fastest machine
developed since the beginning of hos
tilities, was brought down today in an
aerial battle near Huntsville, France.
