BRANDEIS REPORT DUE.
Committee Expected to Return Name
Today Without Making Recon-
mendatiou,

Washington, May 17.-Senate lead
ers expect the Judiciary Committee
today to report the nomination of
Louis D. Brandeis, for the Supreme
Court without accommodation.
If the name is reported out, two ap-
pointments considered highly import
ant by the President, will be before
the body.
Senator Hollis will move a reconsid-
GRAFTON of the vote which rejected
Federal Trade Commissioner Rublee.
He believes, he says, that two Demo-
Gratis who voted against Rublee will
reverse themselves. This would tie
the count, and Vice President Mar
shall is expected to vote for confir-
nation.

Wilson's GIVES VIEWS
President. In Informal Talk To Press
Club, Points Out Difficulties
Now Faced ~

Washington, May 17-President
Wilson has made public frank
and intimate review of his three
wears in the White House and his i'm
pressions of foreign and domestic
problems, delivered confidentially Mon
dav night before Washington CORES
pondents gathered at National Press
Club. He spoke of the difficulties of
the Presidency land particularly of
the motives which have guided his
handling of the European situation.
America, the President said, is for
peace because she loves peace, and
believes the present war has carried
the nations engaged so far that they
cannot be held to ordinary standards
of responsibility" But, he added, the
United States has grown to be one of
the great nations of the world and
therefore must act more or less
from the point of view Of the rest of
the world"
"If l cannot retain my moral in
fuence over man except by oc
casonally knocking him down." he
said, "if that is the only basis on
which he will respect me, then, for the
sake of his soul, | have got to oc-
rasionally knock him down.
The President declared he had been
kept awake nights considering the
European situation, because there
might come time when the United
States would have to do what it did
mot desire to do, and "the great bur-
den on my spirits has been that it
has been up to me to choose when
that time came"
He added that he did not conceive
that he had been elected President to
do as he pleased. "If l were, it would
have been very much more interest
ing" he said.
Impressions Of public men as a
class were given frankly by the Presi-
dent, with the comment that some
grew and some swclled. He also dis
cussed the relations of the newspa-
perS to the affairs of the nation, and
sounded warning that false in
formation about foreign affairs was
more than likely TO lead to trouble.
The Presidents remarks as origi-
nally delivered were read by him care
fully before being made public but no
important portions were eliminated
and the wording was not changed
substantially.

Mrs. Clark, who had been separated
from her husband for three years,
came to Alexandria from Washing
ton where she has been employed
as a nurse to visit her mother-in-law,
Mrs. Ann Clark, who resides at III

She called on a friend, Mrs. Ella
Clarkin, 7o2 South Fairfax street,
at which place the shooting took place
at 4:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Clark was sitting in a rocking
chair in the Clarkin home when her

volver and commenced firing before
Mrs. Clark could rise from the chair.

room and went to his mothers house.

Promises Made By General
Obregon Confirmed by
CarranZa
NO DANGER OF CLASH
Big Force Will Police Parral District
and Watch Future Movements of
Bandits

Washington, May 17-An optimis,
tic view of the Mexican border situa-
tion was laid before President Will
son and his Cabinet yesterday by
Secretary Baker, after long con-
ference with Major-General Scott,
Chief of Staff.
General Carranza and his advisers
now understand the motives OF the
Washington Government more fully
than ever before, as result OF the
conference ut Ell Paso between Gen
erals Scott and Funston and Obre-
eon, Mr.. Baker was able to tell the
Cabinet, and tension along the inter
r.lt:onal line has greatly relaxed.
General Scdtt believes that the
whole situation is less acute than it
has been at any time since the raid
on Columbus, N. M.
The American conferecs were able
to convince the Mexican War Minis
ter, and through him General Car
rama, that President Wilson's an
nounccmcnt of the purpose Of the ex-
pcdtion told the whole story; that
its mission was only as described, to
dispense or capture the bandits and
return across the line. The striking
accomplishment of Generals Scott
and Funston lay in the fact that they
succeeded in doing this without max
ing any pledges as to when American
troops would be recalled.
The change in General Obregon's
views was clearly indicated by pro-
misses he made at the conclusion of
the conference, promises approved by
General Carranza, and which he is
now carrying out with promptitude
and vigor, according to official reports
from army officers and consular Off
cials in Mexico. 1t is. these pledges
which are interpreted ias forming an
unwrittcn agreement. They include
the following:
That 10000, picked troops under
Gan. Trevin0. the ablest of the Car,
rama field commanders: occupy and
police the territory about Parral, the
southern limit of General Pershing's
drive, and in other districts where
there are no ., American troops
That an effective patrol be thrown
about the Mexican side of the Big
Bend region of the" Texas border tG
head off the Glenn Springs and Bo'
quillas raiders;
That every effort be made to liber,
ate Deemer, the AmeEidan store
keeper captured and carried away by
the bandits; and : {. Z -
That no troops will sbe moved from
the forces in Sonora State: through
Pulpit Pass to Operate sinsthe rea
of General Pershing's force.

COAST 1851 MILES long
Sailors Engaged in Philippine Coast
wise Trade Cannot "Get Home 81
to Dinner"

Deep-sea sailors used to laugh at
their brother mariners Of the coast
wise trade, and refer to them as men
who like to go to sea when they
could get home to dir~er." This gibe
would have little point in the Philip
pines, the coast line Of which has
been found to measure more han ILL.,
600 miles-to be exact 11,511 statute
miles. In the Philippines there is one
mile of coast to every ten miles OF
area, the total area of the islands be4
ing 115,O26 square statute mics.
These figures are interesting when
1t is considered that the ratio in the
United States is 232 square niles OF
area to one mile of coast line. The
figures for the United States have ref'
erence to the coast line OF tn main
part of the country, Including islands
lying near the coast, but not including
non-contiguous territory such as
Alaska and Porto Rico. The coast
line of the United States so measured,
with what the experts call three
mile steps," is 1926 miles, less than
1000 miles in excess. Of the coast line
of our eastern possessions.
