PRESIDENTS SPEECH
IMPRESSES MEXICO

MEXICO CITY. July S.-President
Wilson's speech before the New York
Press Club has made deep impression
here and is the subject OF general COM
ment. The Iapers print in large type
the statement of the President that
the American people do not want war
and that he is not the servant of those
who desire to increase their property
IN Mexico.
Another stem which is gwen a prom
inent place in the press is dispa ch
from FL Faso stating that the libela-
tion of the American troopers taken
prisoner at Carrizal had caused a good
impression in the United States and
a more sympathetic feeling toward the
people and government of Mexico.
Stories that the American forces are
steadily retreating northward and that
the places which they have aban-
doned are being occupied by the con-
stitutionalist troops also have been
widely printed and have caused consid-
erable elation among the people
According to travellers arriving from
the state of Guerrero. the constitu-
tional forces have obtained control of
all the important places in that state
which has been hotbed of brigandace
for years.

States blockade the ports and stop food
shipments across the border. In six
months, these men say, the entire coun-

The troops even now, according to re-
ports from Mexico, are stripping the
growing grain in Coahuila and Nuevo
Leon, while there has been a marked
cessation of planting throughout even
the richer agricultural districts of the
country. In large measure these con-
ditions are due to the number of troops
now under arms in Mexico.
According to estimates said to be
conservative. the three main Mexican
commanders have upward Of 10000
men under arms. Gen. Pablo Gonzales
is said to have 10000 men. Gen. obre-

thereby cutting off any possibility of
the reopening of Manchuria, but she
extended a control similar to the one
she exercises in Manchuria over the
provinces of Shantung and Fukien. In
her twenty-one demands she esta blish-
ed preferential position in China as
a whole. Those of her demands which
re:inquish. She simply postponed them.
In view of all this the talk OF
Japanese Monroe doctrine for Asia
seems SO absurd that it is hard to see
how this apology for Japans policy
ever gained serious consideration. In
hrief. the argument is that since the
United States established a Monroe
doctrine covering the weaker nations
of the American continent. Japan has
an equal right to establish a similar
tion of eastern Asia
The Monroe doctrine never had any
thing commercial or industrial about
it. 1t certainly never embodied the
IdlnleSl luea OF eSteHt1nR tne SONeT-
eighty of the United States. The Japa-
nese policy is obviously a commercial
policy. In the regions covered by the
Monroe doctrine our trade until the
present war Jagged behind that of
England and Germany. In regions
where the Japanese policy dominates
japanese trade is forced to the front
at the expense of other nations. The
Monroe doctrine never led and never
will lead to the acquisition of a foot
of territory. AS for Japans policy,
there is Korea.

with much interest that Gen. Gabriel

DESTINATION OF TROOPS

Cooperation of Newspapers With
Military Censc-s to Serve
Purpose on Border.

Publication of information regarding
the destination and location of tactical
units of the National Guard along the
Mexican border, or beyond. is soon to
be suppressed by cooperation OF the
newspapers with the army censors. How
strict this censorship should be is to-
day puzzIing the army officers.
OfHciary the destination of all Ma
tional Guard units is supposed 70 he
military secret. but at the same time
the censors realize that the people are
anxious for this information. and that
the correspondents cannot be blamed
for giving this information regarding
their local units.
Work of Correspondents. "
The censors have before them today
copies of newspapers from over the
country publishing stories from their
special correspondents who are with
local National Guard units arriving at
border points In most cases the
correspondents specified the destination
Of their troops
The War Department had objected to
the publication of this information. The
censors point out that the Mexican
government has not sufficient agents
in the United States TO gather these
reports published in such scattered To-
calitieS. and to construct from them
comprehensive schedule showing the
strength of the troops at various points
along the border.
Strict Censorship Deferred.
cffctals thought 1t improbable that
any step would be taken at this time
toward complete censorship. They Will
rely on newspapers not to publish, and
the public not TO expect news of future
shifting of forces from one point to an
other on the border.

Japanese competition takes the form
