The Washington Post, one
of the big democratic papers
of the nation, thus comments
upon the recent murder of Is
Americans in Mexico:
1.-The blood of these Ameri-
cans is upon the head of the
United States government.
We talk of a greater army and
navy? For what? Why do
the people demand greater
preparedness if it is not for
the protection of American
lives? What is the United
States army doing in Texas,
if it is not to defend the
United States and its citizens?
The American flag has become
a mockery along the Mexican
border. The United States
army is fiouted by Mexicans,
The generals, the soldiers, the
show Of arms and cannon, the
equipment for moving forward
are all 9 jest to the AIexicans,
who are satisfied in their
hearts that the United States
cannot and will not ayenge
the murder OF its citizens.
Murder becomes an exquisite
pleasure when it is committed
under thesvery eyes of Ameri.
can soldiers. The murderers

Fear Borah's EIoouence

A report comes from Chica-
go that a strong effort is be-
ing made by members of the
national republican committee
of progressive tendencies to
have Senator Borah made
temporary chairman 0 f the
national convention in order
to have the distinguished Ida
hoan make the keynote speech
and that these efforts are be-
ing opposed by the more con-
sentative members because
they fear that an occasion
which would give such unlim'
tied scope to the oratorical
powers of the senator might
result in stampeding the con
vention and in making him the
nominee Of the convention,
just as the mastery speech of
James A. Garfield won the
nomination for himself, al
though made ia behalf Of John
Sherman. A higher compile
ment could hardly be paid TO
the senator's ability, and ii
will lead many who have not
heretofore been disposed to
regard seriously the availabili-
ty of Senator Borah as a can
didate to place him in the first
line of presidential possibili-
ties. If.those whose duty il
is to arrange the preliminary
organization Of the convention
hope to eliminate Borah be-
cause they fear the effect o
his eloquence upon the con
vention, they will be disap.
pointed. They may be abb,
to defeat him for temporar7
chairman, but opportunii,
win be made for him to ad
dress the convention unde
! circumstances that may in
spire him to even greater eff
J fort than the temporary chair
: manship. The mere fact tina
his opponents fear to hav
} him heard will create a desir
: to hear him on the part of til
t delegates and kindle the fire
! of eloquence as nothing els
J could. Senator Borah will b
T heard in the national conven
: ton, if not as temporary chair
, man, then from his place O
r the floor. And before he
through it may be demon
I strated that the fears of th
] opposition were well founded

METHODIST CONFERENCE
Church Has Opportunity of Enter taining New York East Conference In This City in April, 1917.

A special meeting of the official board of Trinity Methodist church was held yesterday morning following the regular services. An invitation to hold the regular New York East con- ference here in April 1917, was taken up and after a short discussion it was voted to lay the matter over for one week when a decision will be made.
 It would be a great task to handle the conference as this would be the first time that one has been held in this city. The conference would be under the auspices of the Methodist church and would last about week. At conference of this sort there would be 200 Methodist clergymen from New York City, Long Island. Brooklyn and Connecticut cities as well as the bishop of this diocese and prominent laymen.

RUSSIA PROMISED
 THE DARDANELLES
Czar'S Flag to Float Over Con-
 Stantinople If Allies Win

London, Dec. An event sur passing in far-reaching importance the actual military operations of the war comes in the public announce ment by the new Russian premier that by an agreement concluded in 1915 and subsequently, adhered to by Italy, the Allies definitely established Rus sia's right to Constantinople and the strait. The existence of this agree ment has been for long time alleged but never before was it thus publicly and formally admitted.
 A Reuter- dispatch from Petrograd says that, when Premier Trepoff mounted the tribune in the Duma to read the governments statement, the parties of the extreme left began hostile demonstration, which prevent ed him from speaking for a quarter of an hour. M. Trepoff thrice ap- peared on the tribune, but each time left, owing to the turmoil.
 In order to end the demonstration, the president of the Duma proposed the expulsion of eight sittings of twelve members of the socialist and labor parties, including the leaders, Toheidse and Kerenski. The proposal was adopted and the premier was then able to deliver his speech.
 M. Trepoff expressed satisfa actiOn, the correspondent continues, at the patriotic activities of the municipali- ties and social organizations and said that the government would take all possible measures for the establish ment of settled order behind the army. In the present exceptional time, the premier said, this lack of or der has been felt in questions of sup ply, with the result that, despite the abundance of produce, the population in many regions was experiencing diff ficulty with regard to food. It would be necessary to examine the question,

WILD STAY IN CITY.
Rev. c. E. Pihl Declines Gall to North
 Park, Ill.,, Church.

Rev. Gustave B. Pihl, pastor of the Swedish Bethany church of this city, who recently received a call to North Park college church at North Park, IlI., has decided to decline the call Although the call appealed to the To- caI pastor he had to decline it because of a previous agreement with the members of his church.
 Early last spring he was given leave of absence for five months to take charge of the Swedish Orphanage In Cromwell but 1t was with the agree ment that he would return to this city at the end of that time. It was to ] keep his word on the previous agree men that he decided to stay in this city. MT. Pihl's position would have been very responsible in North Park as the church is patronized by the faculty and students of the North Park college. His work would have also carried him into a large Swedish hospital that is conducted in connec- sion with the college. The minister Of the church has the spiritual welfare of several hundred college students in hand. Rev. MT. Pihl feels that the work here needs him although he is giving up a great opportunity in not answering the call.

he said and see whether it was not imperative to renounce the system of restrictions and adopt some other method affording a wider field for commercial transactions.
 Require More Munitions Plants.
 The premier discussed the transport difficulties, declaring that they made necessary an examination into the question of vast railway construction. He said that measures must be taken to increase the production of metals and fuel and that the construction of factories for the manufacture of war material and the development of the country's technical resources was inn perative In this connection he added that measures were being considered for the development of technical edu- cation: that a bill would be intro duced for compulsory general educa- tion, as we'll as other measures tend ing to raise the general standard or culture In conclusion the premier said:
 But the governments immediate program must be directed to winning a complete and conclusive victory, cost what it may. The war must con- tinue until German militarism is de- stroyed beyond all possibility of re- crudescence in the early future. The war must be crowned by victory, not only over the enemy without, but the enemy within. The war has opened, the eyes of the people, and they real ize now that Russian industry, edu- cation, science, and art have been un- der the yoke of Germanism."
