WHAT PULLED THE TRICK

1t has long been an established fact
that the Democratic administration in
its twistings and turnings was at one
time ready to recognize the despicable
and impossible Villa. Senator Borah
in his speech in this city told his audi
ence something Of that proposed hui
initiation that was entertained by
President Wilson. And that really
might have transpired had we not got
into trap at Vera Cruz. But was the
alternative any less humiliating. A cor
respondent in the New York Tribune
throws an interesting sidellght on the
recognition Of Carranza. how it was
practically forced on the President.
1t comes through a book published
at Buenos Aires by DR.. Ernesto Que
sada. who was president of the Argen-
tine delegation to the recent Pan
American and Scientific Congress at
Washington. DR.. Quesada's book,
which in substance is a report OF the
proceedings at that Congress, contains
the transcript of q conversation be-
tween himself and an unnamed Latin
American diplomatist.
In this conversation the diplomatist
whom DR.. Quesada quotes began with
the remark that when the United
States found itself caught in trap at
Vera Cruz and didn't know how to get
out Of it, the three Latin-American
nations of Argentina, Brazil and Chile
were asked to lend a hand, and the A.
B. C. commission was created for the
purpose Of pulling Mr. Wilson's chest
nuts out Of the fire. Later when the
anarchy in Mexico resulting from the
struggle between villa and Carranza
had raised another grave diplomatic
problem which the United States.
meaning Mr.. Wilson, did not desire to
solve directly, recourse was had to
the same expedient with the variation
that this time the A. B. C. trio was
converted into sextet by the inciu-
sion of the three little powers Of Uru-
quay, Bolivia and Guatemala. The
conversation related by DR.. Quesada
proceeds:
This again pulled the chestnuts ont
Of the fire for the United States, but
with this peculiar occurrence: right III
to the night before the act recognizing
the Carranza government was signed TN"
American State Department had been
urging that Villa be favored. so much >u
that the six Latin a American diplomats
in spite of their repugnance to do So
had already resigned themselves to hi
recognition Is President de facto. when.
at the last moment. a report from col
onel House, Presiden; Wilson's confldnn-
tial man. inclined the balance in favor ii
Carranza- and the Niagara conferecs
merely substituted Carranzas name for
Villas and made no other change in the
act already drafted.

STOLID MENDACITY

The stolid mendacity of the Dem
that the prosperity we are enjoying
comes from that party's policies is ue-
ing continually refuted by the classl-
fication Of the export figures. The lat
est statistics are reported by the New
York Journal of Commerce, standard
authority. According TO it's compilation
the exports of war supplies for tHe
nine months OF the current year
amounted TO S997.970, 900 out of a total
export trade of 1881. n00. 900, making
more than p per cent Of this sum. But
this sum includes only such supplies
as are used on the battlefields Of Eu-
rope, and leaves out Of consideration
those articles whose abnormal sales
were created only by war conditions,
goods that never could have been sold
in such quantities had war not existed.
For instance the Journal Of Commerce
leaves out Of consideration such IN
important item as the increases in tx
ports Of iron and steel manufacturers
amounting to s400 100000. Nor does
it take into account the enormous IN
crease in foodstuffs and breadstuffs.
The President and his supporters
know Of these conditions vet before
election and now wi!fuiIy misrepresaut
them, setting up the false claim thai
the revival in our industrial and bus
mess life has been due to Democratic
legislative measures and the econon1-

become Caliph, England's share IN
making this possible will strengthen
rather than weaken her influence, al

over the East. Moreover, relations
with the many Nohammedans under

Another reason for believing ina

is an influence greater and more PEI

NEuTRALs AGAINST LIQUOR

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 2. - In compa-
ny with the nations at war, the neu-
trail states Of Scandinavia have made
some effort recently to restrict the
liquor traffic, 1t may be added, how
ever, that the regulations so far in
effect cannot be classed as in any sense
oppressive.
The greatest restrictions enforced
is in Norway, where spirits may be
bought only on Tuesdays, Wednes-
days, Thursdays and Fridays, and
only within specified hours, which
vary slightly in different sections Of
the country. Beer, ales and light
wines, including champagne, may be
bought at almost any time. The con-
sumption of the latter has materially
increased since Norway's wartime
prosperity set in.
In Denmark the effort to restrict
drinking has not progressed very far.
1t has been decreed, however, that in
rural communities all drinking places
must close at II o'clock p. m, while
in Copenhagen the closing hour has
been placed at /.
In Sweden there is quite a strict
control e bottled spirits with more
or less complicated regulations as tc
restaurants and cafes, the saloon in
the American sense being unknown.
Between the hours Of IL and 3 no IL
quors can be sold except with food.
