SPANISH FEAR J. s.
 MEXICAN CONFLICT
Appeal 10 King Alfonso to Use
 Influence,

A thousand members of the Spanish colony in Mexico City have signed a pc. tition addressed to King Alfonso of Spain asking that monarch to use his influence with President Wilson in or. der to avoid war between Mexico and the United States.
 The Spanish colony is the largest and most influential of the foreign commu mites in Mexico City.
 A week or more will be taken by ad. ministration officials to frame reply to General Carranzas last note limiting of war if American troops are retained in Mexico. it was said in Washington. No active preparations are being made 10 draw an answer.
 Army officers look for a report from General Pershing on his conference at Colonia Dublan with General Gavira. CarranZa military commander in north. ern Chihuahua. The meeting was brief. and 1t is assumed only questions of cooperation in troop movements were discussed. General 2ershing de scribed the conference as very satis- factory" according to unofficial reports.
 The war departments plans for main taining General Pershing's column in Mexico are unchanged.
 Major General Funston reports that about 10000 Carranza troops mobilized in the vicinity of Chihuahua City were being disposed apparently for an ac. tive campaign against bandits over 2 territory extending 800 -ni'es. from Ma dera to Ojinaga. He feels no uneasi ness over their movements. Secretary Baker said.

ASQUITH GAN SEE
 NO SIGN OF PEACE
Commons Ch3GrS Statement
 of Premier.

Premier Asquith stated in the Brit ish house of commons in answer to a question put by Sir Arthur B. Mark ham. Liberal member for the Mans field division of NottinghamShire. that there was nothing in the recent state ment made by Dr. von Bethmann-Holl veg, the German imperial chancellor that indicated Germany was prepared to consider terms of peace which would safeguard the interests of the entente allies and the future peace Of Europe.
 The prime minister sad he did noi think he could usefully add anything to the speech made by Sir Edward Grey, the British secretary for foreign affairs.
 Sir Arthur's question apparently was designed finally to set at rest any sug gestion that the entente allies were prepared to accept intervention. In putting his question he referred to the fact that in the German reply to the American note it was pointed out that Germany had twice announced her readiness to make peace.
 He then a: ked whether the allies were prepared to avail themselves of the good offices of a neutral state in order to communicate to the German government definite terms on which they would be willing to make peace provided the German government were prepared to make in the same way and at hn the allies of definite terms on which Germany was willing to make a peace"
 The premie-'s reply was received with cheers.

New Membe' of United States Su-
 preme Court Sworn Tn.
 Louis D. Brandeis of Boston has taken his seat as an associate justice of the supreme court. The ceremonies were the same as those which have prevailed for a generation. Chief Jus tice White privately administered the oath of allegiance to country, an oath taken by the lowest to the highest off cers of the government. None but members of the court witnessed this part of the ceremony.
 When the court marched on to the bench the new justice, following close behind, took a seat beside the clerk of the court. When MT. Brandeis' com mission had been read the clerk admin istered the judicial oath taken by judges to do equal justice to rich and poor. Then he was escorted to his seat on the extreme left of the bench. where he received the congratulations of the colleague nearest him. Justice Pitney.

588 MORE ARMY RECRUITS.
Total of S,729 Have Enlisted In Three
 Months-2o,00o Authorized.

The best that the United States army could do during the past week in recruiting the 10000 men authoriz- ed by congress about three months ago was to bring the total number of recruits enlisted to date up to S.T20 Only 5Ss recruits have been added in the last seven days.
 This is a noticeable decrease from even the small numbers of the preced- ing weeks. These figures do not in clude the recent enlistments in St. Louis. as that station had not been heard from at the time announcement was made by the war department of results to date of the recruiting cam. paign. There will be but little change in the final count, however. as in the last four weeks thirty-one is the larg- est number of recruits reported from St. Louis. and each week has shown fewer enlistments.

 Recruits With More Care.

Steps have been taken by army cffi- cers to guard against future pension claims for disabilities not incident to military service. Army medical off cers were instructed. through a bull letin issued by the chief of staff. to examine recruits with special care even though they are enlisted from state militia organizations. whose medical standards are equal to those of the United States army.
 The circular cites the fact that thou. sands of claims for pensions based on physical defects possessed at the time of enlistment have been filed in past years because more careful physical 'eports on recruits were not kept.
