STATE OF OANACA
QUITS CARRANzISTAS
Senator. Fall Of New Mexico Re.
CeiVeS Confirmation Of New
Form of Government.

Senator Fall OF New Mexico has re-
ceived information confirming the re-
ports of the secession of the state OF
OaXaca and the establishment there OF
a government independent of Carranza.
The news came in letter from G. W.
knob!auch, former partner of John D.
McManus, who was shot and killed IN
Mexico City by Zapata troops last
March. Senator Falls informant doubts
IL OaNaca will ever go back. 1t Is said
to be intensely hostile to northern
Mexico, and to have an army OF lS,OOO
men.
The letter to Senator Fall says:
Regarding Carranzas ability to
handle the situation, IT is interesting to
learn that the state of Oaxaca has Sc
ceded. This is probably no news to
you. inasmuch as the secession took
place on June of last year. The Incl
dent leading up to this act was an at
tempt on the part of one Of Carrnnzas S
Officers. Figueroa, by name, to capture
the state congress of DaXaCa.
Ftgueroa had entered the state with
only forty men, ostensibly to recruit,
but after q month or so, one night, he
surrounded the building in which the
congress was in session and captured
the entirC body, The news of this act
was quickly carried to the Juarez In
ting Figueroas men off from the rail-
road and forcing him to release their
prisoners.
"Figueroa himself was killed. After
that OaXaca seeded. 1t is claimed that
the separation is provisional only. and
that on the establishment OF stable
government the state will return to the
Mexican federation, but my informant
doubts if OaNaca viii ever go back.
1T is a large and rich state. and has
several harbors and landing places on
the Pacific. 1t Is intensely hostile TO
northern Mexico. and has at present an
army of 1900 men commanded by
Hi8inio Aguilar and staff. composed of
the old federal officers. most of them
Chspultepec graduates.
"Carranza troops are not allowed to
enter the state, and his authority is
not recognized in any way. The trains
do not run through to the city of
Oaxaca, although the tracks are not
torn up, but by mutual agreement train
service is suspended for a distance of
some fifteen miles. south and west of
Tehuaca. near Tomellin. On one side
of this stretch are the Carranzistas and
on the other the OANacans."

THE LIFE-sAVINd SERVICES

Recently a New York physician,
with the air of propOunding a novel
and valuable suggestion, recon-
mended that the Federal Govern
ment create a bureau for the con-
servation of human life. He said
it was high time the Government
was taking more interest in safety
first, and preventive medicine move
ments land not leaving it all to
private organizations.
The gentleman should be brought
to Washington for the safety first
exposition to be held here the latter
part of next month. This exhibit
ton, to be staged in the New Ma
tional Museum, will include twenty
four Government bureaus. Not even
those acquainted with the wide
scope of department work in Wash
ington may have realized the many
aspects of the human conservation
work being carried on in Washing
ton.
The Bureau of Mines, the Steam
boat Inspection Service, the Chill
dren's Bureau and the Public Health
Service Immediately come to mind
when the accident prevention move
ment is mentioned. Not so obvious,
but just as effective, is the prevent
i've service of the United States
Weather Bureau, the Forestry Ser
vice, the Indian Office, the Coast
Guard Service, and the Coast and
Geodetic Survey. All these, and 9TH
ers, will show, next month, how they
go about saving human life.

than ever before. They are building
warships instead of peace ones.
This is a situation which demands
the attention especially of neutral
countries that have the capital and
the business to justify big invest
ment in shipping. There is more and
more pressing business to do than
ever before. Never was there a
time when the security of nations,
their ability to feed and clothe them
selves, their power to dispose OF
their products, their capacity to
keep their industrial machinery
moving, depended so much on sea
transportation. Another year of
war, further increasing the need
for this transportation and at the
same time progressively decreasing
the amount of it available, might
very easily plunge the whole world
into a shipping crisis that would be
equally disastrous to neutrals and
belligerents.
The Washington times., 1916-01-24
A WORLD SHIPPING FAMINE

During the year 1914 1866 mer-
chant ships were launched by the
worlds builders, with 3,484,OOO ton
mage. 1t was about a normal year.
The worlds business demanded that
much new shipping to accommodate
increased demand and replace scrap
ped shipping.
The war came, bringing a great
increase in the demand for ships.
The world must readjust itself to
new conditions, must transport a
larger share of it's supplies overseas.
But instead of being able to equip
itself with more ships, it turned out
in 1915 only 1865 ships with 1911
900 tonnage.
Here is an apparent loss of over
half the normal addition to ship
ping capacity. But it does not ex-
press nearly the entire actual loss
German shipping is tied up, useless
or at the bottom of the seas. The
British authorities admit the loss of
about 100000 tons of their shipping
in the war; the Germans claim tc
have destroyed a good deal more
Beyond all this is the vast amount
that has been withdrawn from mer,
camille business to be employed in
transport, collier, and auxiliary
naval service.
The shipyards of the. world were
never so busy as now. Neutra
countries are turning out merchant
ships as fast as possible; but the
greatest share of the worlds build
ing capacity is not in neutral, bu
in belligerent, countries; and the bel
ligerents are devoting all effort Il
naval construction. Thus Great Brit
ain built 1,722,OOO tons Of merchan
shipping in 1914, but in 1915 it fel
to $4,000 tons, or only a little ovel
one-third. Yet there is no doubt tha'

VIRGINIA SENATOR
MAY Be REPUBLICAN
Old Dominion Actually Faces
Possibility Of Breaking Up
the "SoIid South"

A Republican Senator from the state
of Virginia-think of it.
OF course, It sounds almost out of the
question that the Solid South should be-
struck amidships by such political
blow. But there seems to he possi-
bility of II.
II is the understanding in political cir
cles here tina. Congressman Campbell
Bascom slemp, Republican, Of the Ninth
Virginia district will be n candidate
for the Senate against Senator Claude
Augustus Swanson, whose term will eA-
pire March g. 1917.
The election will be by popular vote
next fall and an analysis of the sttuit-
tion shows that II Sleup is candidate
there will be a struggle in the Old Do
minion of q most noteworthy sort.
Slemp, as was his father before him.
is the lone Republican member from
Virginia. He comes, from that district
in the southwest of the StPte whien Is
ia mountain stronghold or Republican
ism. He has always been invincible in
the battles of politics, and, although NJ
ucr ordinary circumstances q RepuD-
! lican would have no show for the Sen
ate in Virginia, the circumstances OF
this case are entirely out OF the ordi-
| nary.
It is pointed out that the Ninth Nir-
| ginia district casts about 10000 votes
as against from 2,00C To 500 votes in
each of the eastern Congressio1ai dis
tricts. Moreover the Fifth Congressional
district, the home Of Senator swanson,
came within ninety-one votes in 1893 OF
being carried By the Republicans Re
| publicans aver q lIepublicen would
have been seated from that district at
| that time had not a Democratic House
| prevented.
| in the Seventh district the Rerutli-
cans have high hopes If electing young
| John Paul. Norfolk and some Of tho
northern Virginia counties are show
ing q strong Republican trend. Gov
ernOr Stuart, who Is Democrat, is lot

strcng glip or the state. ConGress-
man Montague. OF the Third district
is another opponent Of the machine In
his party JtIdcr the circumstances
Republicans think the situation ripe for
| a master stroke of politics suc1 ms
would be the election OF n Senator fror1
their party.
Republicans calculate that Congress-
| man Slemp could emerge from his
| mountain fastness in n Senatorial cam
paien with IL OO0 majority. IT would no
be easy for Senator Sw8nCsn to over
ccme this IL the Republicans make c'
good a showing in scattered f:ountie'
as they have rnade recently. Moreover
the Virginia Republicans think the Ee
publican party is on Q rising tide oI
strength and that the tide NAV sWcoT
them to victory in the Old Dominion.

MAKING OURPARKs ACCESSIBLE

Senator Works informs Congress,
in his supplementary report as a
member of the Fiscal Relations
Committee, of a few truths about
the parks of the District of Colum-
bia that residents of the city long
have been trying to impress upon
that body. Congressman Gardner of
Massachusetts started an agitation
along the same line, but dropped it
when the preparedness issue came
to the front.
The California Senator refuted
the statement, frequently made on
Capitol Hill, that Washington al
ready has too many parks. He
points out, what is obvious to those
who have studied the growth of the
city, that no proper provision has
been made for parks in rapidly
growing sections where parks will
be greatly needed. In a few years
some of these sections will be as
badly off as the entire southwest,
with no parks of any kind, and as
the central northeast 6ection, with
only Stanton square as a play space
for children.
The recent police census sheds
light on this need. Marked increases
are shown in population in districts
on the north of the city where no
provision has been made for parks.
Though the street plan of the city
has now been superimposed on these
sections as they open p,~the small
parks are not made a part of the
scheme.

TRADE CONQUEST TRIALS

American exporters get from ac-
ademic sources a good deal of re-
pfoach whose chief characteristic is
ignorance of what is talked about.
One Of the favorite criticisms con-
Germs their failure to grasp great
opportunities in Central and South
America, whether they can hold
them or not when the markets to
the south of us with the return of
peace have again become a bone of
contention for European competi-
tors.
There are other things to be con-
sidered. American business con-
Germs are said to be complaining that
statesmen whom they have sent pio-
neering have encountered unex-
pected obstacles. Exorbitant fees, it
appears, are charged travelling men
in many parts of the Latin-Ameri-
can nations. The cost of covering
Argentina completely would be
$4,000 in fees alone.
The Federal Trade Commission
also has unearthed some interesting
and not particularly encouraging
facts. Invoices and harbor regula,
tions, to quote the commissions re.
port, are "vexatious and useless,
while customs tariff regulations
Operate as hardships upon America
where no reason obtains for theil
existence, as the conditions which
they were designed to meet have
long since passed away"
The principal reason for these
particular barriers to trade is de-
clared to be INERTIA" But until they
are removed barriers are barriers
whatever the cause of their exist
ence. And any man who looks fur

Labor Federation'S
Appeal for HatterS
Promises Success

Promises already received at the
headquarters of the American Fedora
tion of Labor from unions in all parts
of the country indicate the success of
the appeal to be made for the relief
of the Danbury hatters. The appeal is
in an unusual form. 1t asks that all
members of organized labor "contri-

and Rock Greek Parks, has been en-
phasized by every city planning ex-
pert who ever has looked over the
city. Washington citizens have be-
come used to these tracts being in
accessible to everyone except the
automobile owner or the Weston
type of pedestrian. But the situa-
tion naturally seems unusual to
visitors.
Fairmont Park, in Philadelphia,
has been made no less beautiful by
having a trolley line running around
it. The same method has been fol-
lowed in other cities which have
large play spaces. 1t is time that a
similar arrangement be made by
which Washington's large parks
shall be places to play in, net places
to ride through.
