Square Deal Hoped For.

Americans who have investments in
property and industries in Mexico are
still wondering whether the admins
tration has changed Its attitude toward
them, and they are earnestly hoping
that it has. They were led to believe
that a change had taken place when 1t
was announced recently that the re-
public of China had borrowed $5.000,-
900 from the Continental and CONNER
cial National Bank of Chicago; and
the State Department had approved
the transaction. The sum is not large.
as international loans go. but the incl
dent indicated that q marked change
had come over the spirit of the adj
ministration since those early days OF
1913 when the President compelled the
American participants to withdraw
from their contemplated share in a
much larger loan to be granted to the
Chinese government and known as the
Six-Power agreement The position
which the State Department then took
was that there was some financial i'm
morality attaching to such a proceed
ing and that a virtuous administration
could not afford to be connected with
it, even by implication.
Before concluding the recent loan.
the Chicago bankers submitted the
proposed contract to Secretary Lansing
for scrutiny; and before the document
was executed they received letter
from the Secretary in which he gave
his approval to the preceding and add
ed:
1T Is the policy of the Depart
ment, now as in the past. to give
all proper diplomatic support and
protection to the legitimate enter
prises abroad for American citi-
Zens.
These last words gave satisfaction
to the American capitalists who have
invested their money in Mexico.
though there is still a loop-hole in
whatever Interpretation the admins
tration may put upon the words
Legitimate enterprises"
One Of the outstanding grievances of
Americans who have undertaken the
development of railroads, mines and
oil fields in Mexico is that they have
been denied the proper protection of
this government in their operations.
The Lansing letter. accordingly. af-
fords q ray of hope to those unfortu-
nate persons who have their money
wrapped up in enterprises south of the
Rio Grande: and the expectation is that
the letter. coupled with an apparent
purpose to hold Carranza to a more
strict accountability" may give a
chance for American investors to re-
coup the losses which they have sus-
tanned through the onslaughts of Car
rama and Villa and whoever else has
exercised power in Mexico.
The apparent change of heart which
the administration has experienced is
TO less gratifying than unlooked-for.

1.-TWO months later than It originally was
i scheduled, date finally has been found
for the Philadelphia open golf champion
ship.
Francis B. Warner. secretary of the
Golf Association of Philadelphia, announced
today that the tourney will be held
the 11th and 12th of October. 1t has been
found impossible to hold it sooner than
that and a later date seemed impracti-

So far as the date goes, IL is probably
tho best that can be done in the matter,
unless 1t is put over smother couple of
weeks.
But it means that tho field will not be
very fast All the real stars of profess
sional ranks will be playing for the cham

Two Of the best local professionals will
be in the running at New York as delegates
from the southeast section.
Jim Barnes one of the best playing pro-
fessionals in the United States. and winner
of many large purses this year. leads the
local contingent
Another player from Philadelphia who
will be sadly missed from a Quaker cham

the other event, is Jim Thomson, pro at the

players from New England will be missing

who looms up for the title at the present
