DIR. JORDAN FIRM
in OPPOSING WAR
"Give Mexico a Chance
He Says, on Return
from Border.

David Starr Jordan, who has Just re-
turned from the Mexican border, and
who will leave to-day for Washington
20 Join the conference for mediation
with Mexico, says that the United
States hasn't a ghost OF a case legally
to intervene in the southern republic.
"If we give Mexico a chance said
Dr.. Jordan, "she will work out her own
problem, Just as our own South did
after the Civil War. She has powers
Of regeneration, and an opportunity
for the intelligent classes 20 get to-
gether and work out the salvation OF
the community is all that is necessary.
"When ! went first into Mexico" he
continued, 81 had an idea that inter
vention might some day become 8
necessity 70 save Mexico from herself.
Now that have been down there again,
both from what have seen and what I
have heard, think that this whole
thing is put up job"
Seek Chance TO Plunder.
He said certain classes in FL Paso
were anxious for war because Of the
chance it would bring 70 plunder Mexico.
While he was conferring with Modesto
c. ROLAND, the Mayor OF FL Pasc said:
81 shall be ruined, my city Will be
ruined. IL this harmless old gentleman
goes on with this work. We are pre-
pared for war; we don't want peace.
Various refugees, cientihcos, clericos
and concessionaries also hold that view,
Dr.. Jordan said.
on the other hand. he said. investiga-
tion showed that the solid business in
terests did not want war, and the de-
mand for war became less noticeable
the further one travelled from the bor-
der.
Raids across the border into Ameri-
can territory did not prove that Car
rama was winking at the attacks, for
the border is hard to patrol. Prom one
end of the border TO the other he eX
planned, sis as far as 1t is from here
TO Omaha, while not even wagon road
let alone a railroad, runs the length
of it."
Tells Mexican Resources.
DR.. Jordan believes that the Mexican
revolution is simply the French revolu-
tion on a small scale. Given education,
sanitation. just taxation and better land
laws, Mexico will emerge with credit,
for the country, he said, is unbelievably
rich in natural resources, containing
among other things the biggest oil de-
posits in the world.
1t is commonly believed along the
border, according TO one Of the inves-
tieator's statements. that the influence
Of the Germans of the intriguing class
has been exerted to get the United States
TO interfere, so that the nation would
be kept out Of the European trouble
and compelled TO keep munitions at
home.
The object Of the Washington confer
ence Is to get the Mexican viewpoint
and prevent, If possible, intervention
at this time. Those who will sit for
this purpose are David Starr Jordan,
Amos Pinchot, Professor Slaughter, of
the University of Pennsylvania; Moor
field Storey, Modesto c. ROLAND, Dr..
Att. editor of labor journal in the
City of Mexico, and Luis Manuel Rotss,
OF the National Library Of Mexico.
Probably another Mexican will be added
10 complets the balance.

history OF education in New YORK,
Governor Whitman declared that in
year when there had been great fnan-
cial demands on the treasury Of the
state. the largest sum had been ap-
propriated to the common schools that
had ever been granted. A wave of ap-
plausc followed his remark that 1t
was undoubtedly the stand taken by
New York granting equal education 70
.girls which led TO the nationwide be-
lief in the necessity of feminine edu-
cation 10 the extent that the number
of women engaged in teaching greatly
exceeded the number of men.
Mayor Mitchell recommended 10 the
association for its study the most moG-
ern methods of education used by the
City of New York. especially the ex-
pertinent in industrial training brought
