Americans said. only to learn the
truth. to set The facts, to determine
absolutely whether it was safe either
to Mexico or the United States to with
draw American troops at this time.
In short, the Americans asked for
proofs of Carranza's ability to MAIN
tain law and order in Mexico and hold
Villa in check
BY way of reply. the Mexicans
pointed out that Villas spectacular at
tacks against the United States were
simply TO embarrass Carranza, whom
Villa hated because he had plotted to
obtain the Mexican presidency Villa
had not discovered that MS attacks
had failed. Instead OF provoking trou-
BILE between the United States and
Mexico and melting another rebellion
on the tide of which he might GUST
Carranza and ride into Mexico City.
he had simply increased Carranza' s
power. Villa also realized that the
present proceeding of the commission
promised to establish still more friend
ly relations between the two countries.
Accordingly, the UnIIed states need
not fear more from Villa AS to the
other bandit chiefs. practically all had
been brought to bay.
The Mexicans then sought to show
now Carranza was trying to put into
effect numerous reforms which would
prevent the recurrence of such lawless
conditions as followed the assassina-
tlon or President Madero- Special eff
forts were being made, they said to
perfect the Mexican school system.
Attention was called to the fact, for
example, that a Mexican woman had
just come to the United States to study
American kindergartens and suggest
changes in the Mexican schools which
would be of the greatest benefit.
When the condition of the Mexican
railroads was brought up for discus
sion, the Mexicans asserted that Car
rama was effecting their rehabilita-
ton as rapidly as possible. Tracks had
been relald. wooden bridges built
wherever the old steel structures had
been destroyed and trains were being
run pretty nearly to schedule on all
main lines.

This was learned reliably today as
the American and Mexican commits

There were no joint sessions today.
Instead the commissioners delved into
data on border subjects and the Amer

The commissioners gathered about

Mexicans could almost rub elbows,
Luis Cabrera, head of the Mexican
deputation. presided.
After the formality of an exchange
of credentials, the Mexicans explained
that the Carranza government wanted
the following things:
What Mexico Wants.
1. The withdrawal of all the re-
manning American troops from Mexi-
can territory.
2. proper protection of the Mex
lean border by the United States.
8. The recognition by the Ameri-
can government of the stability of the
Mexican government under First
Chief Carranza-
f. Recognition by the United
States of the fact that General Car
rama is establishing the foundation
of educational. economic and trans
portation reforms that are bound to
American state
5. A treaty between the United
States and Mexico which will define
exactly the conditions under which a
recurrence of the present border diff
ferences may be prevented The
Mexicans are said to have inclined to
the opinion that American troops
should not cross the line under any
condition.
When the Mexicans had presented
their views they were questioned at
length by the Americans. Fn.y were
asked why they felt so sure of the
strength of the Carranza government.
1t was PORTED out that Villa was still
very much alive and if the American
troops were Withdrawn he might again
break into American territory to kill,
destroy and loot

time lead a numbering band into

Woman's Status Changed.
The great war will bring untold
changes in it's wake: it presages to-
tai change in the status of women. In
Europe from the Polar circle to the
Aegean sea women have risen and
taken the places made vacant by men.
and in so doing they have grown in
self-respect and in the esteem Of their
respective nations. Indeed. Europe is
realizing as it never did before that
women are holding together the civil
ization for which men are fighting. A
great searchlight has been thrown
upon the business of nation building
and il has been demonstrated in every
European land that It is a partnership
with equal but different responsible
ties resting upon the two partners

Won Bethmann- Hollweg. the German
imperial chancellor upon being Ques-
toned at the August meeting of the
federal council as to why he yielded
to the demands of the United States
regarding the unrestricted torpedoing
of ships on the high seas. replied en-
phatically that the value of the SUBJ
marine was exaggerated by the adher-
ents of wholesale torpedoing.
The chancellor said that insistence
on an unrestricted submarine warfare
would cause war between Germany
and the United States and that the
result of unlimited torpedoing would
not justify such policy.
Celebrating this point the chancel-
lor is quoted as saying that Germany
could not effectively blockade Eng

ply.

County Committee.
TOO MUCH FOR STATE WORK
Last Year Local Men Contrib
uted to Gov. Capper.
Candidates Want Two Per Cent
and Committee, Six.

There is big row on between the
Republican county committee and the
Republican candidates. Until the mat
ter of contention has been threshed
out there will be no campaign in
Shawnee county. The committee wants
given amount of money from the
candidates and the candidates balk at
the amount. They have fixed lower
figure.
The county candidates got together
recently, without any members of the
co -nty committee and talked over the
campaign. They agreed that per
cent of their first years salaries-if
they be elected-would be the maxi
mum amount contributed by them TO
| the campaign fund this year
The executive committee of the
county committee got together recent
ly, without any candidates, and agreed
that it would take at least per cent
of the first years salary of each can
didate to make the necessary cam
paign in Shawnee county.
| There is just 4 per cent between the
candidates and the committee and I'M
til they get together on some sort of a
working basis not a wheel will be
turned in the fall campaign.
The executive committee asked the
candidates to meet with it in the Of
| flee block Wednesday night to thresh
the matter out. Candidates say there
were some fireworks during the ses-
sion. They made the concession of
| l per cent, agreeing to stand for 3
per cent assessment. The executive
| committee retired to another room and
returned with a verdict for II per
cent and no less. Then the meeting
broke up.
Back to Per Cent.
Today the candidates-or part of
| them-are back on the per cent
basis Practically all of them are pro-
testing against the big assessment.
Half dozen of them said today they
would not pay more than per cent
| of the first years salaries no matter
what action the county committee
takes.
The candidates maintain that if the
county committee spends its money "a
aid the county candidates alone 2 pei
cent will be sufficient for all pur-
poses. They object to paying for q
lot of work done for state and national
candidates.
Two years ago" said one candi-
date. I'VE put up a big assessment and
practically all of it was spent in the
interests of Arthur Capper and Charles
Curtis. Very little was used in the
interests of county candidates. We
don't propose TO do that again this
year"
The county committee maintains
that it is necessary that tile expense
of big meetings addressed by foreign
speakers who will be in Topeka. to
aid all Republican candidates. be
borne locally and that the only wa.
to pay such expenses is thru the as
sessment of county candidates.
Another meeting was held today but
no agreement was reached.
