KUT-EL-AMARA.

In following the fortunes of the
belligerents in the unpleasantness
over in Europe. it appears to thetob-
servant layman that England has
-blundered most grievously upon sew
eral occasions. Her campaign stands
ont for its apparent errors, while
Germany and France gain new luster
from comparison. The latest evi-
dence of either appropriateness upon
the part Of the Britons or OF monu-
mental blundering was in allowing
the garrison at Kut-el-Amara to be
caught like a rat in trap and forced
after months to surrender to the
Turks. A yielding to the Germans
or to the Austrians would have been
much less humiliating to the British
than to have at last to bend the
knee to the soldiers Of the Ottoman
empire. For garrison to surrender
to the enemy after attempts have
been made to relieve 1t is one Of the
most humiliating features of war
fare. 1t is made especially humili-
ating in the present instance where
the proud Briton must acknowledge
that he has been beaten by the hated
Turk. The surrender of beleaguer-
ed garrison is always given promin-
ence in the after-written historical
tale Of wars. The collapse Of the
campaign at the Dardanelles was an
other Of the moves that will not add
to the glory Of English history.

al conference today.
Indications were that President
Wilson would even welcome tenn
porarily peaceful protectorate over
Mexico until the bandits are exter-
minated and the border raid menace
forever removed. This would involve
the policing OF northern Mexico by
Americans. to which Obregon is op.
posed.

zista military mobilized to make dem
onstrations OF strength such az the
situation may require. However,

versed for nearly an hour. There
was no intimation OF the subjects

ment that obregon had consented to
return the call In El Paso today,
A military guard will meet him. A
review OF United States troops may
be held at Fort Bliss In his honor.
Details OF the coming ofilcial confer
ences are expected to be settled at
today's meeting.
Obregon has expressed confidence
that America will see the justice of
the demand for q speedy withdrawal
OF the expedition. He is ready TO
promise any cooperation necessary, to
such . move. obregon believes that
II is impossible for Carranza to re-
store order while the presence OF
the Americans offer the villistas
ground for arousing the ignorant
poems,
However, obregon is also UNDER
stood to believe that armed conflict
with the United States would be sui
eide for the de facto regime. Con-
sequently II is believed that after
each side tries out the other an
agreement will be reached, uphold
Ing President Wilson's policy and
saving Mexico's pride. Each side
must await official approval from It's
government before reporting final
agreement. This may drag the par
leys along FOR more than o week.

POLITICAL POT

With only 10 more days before the
primary nominating convention, the
voters are taking new interest In
the multiplicity OF candidates for ma
tional, state and county Offices. With
the example OF the Portland man who
filed for president Of the United
States, assuming to place himself In
the lists as "Oregon's favorite SON."
before us, it is remembered that a
mans record as o citizen stands for
much more than the claims he may
vociferate from the housetops. The
primary election is necessarily an
election of men rather than OF party
principles. Each party viii strive to
name ticket that can carry Its party
vote and possibly get a few from the
other fellow.
One OF the most interesting OF the
contests within the state is that be-
tween Ben w. Olcott and Charles B.
Moores for the republican nomina-
ton for secretary OF state. 0lcott
has made good record as an official,
but has brought some opposition to
himself because of certain alleged
party Irregularities. Moores, on the
other hand. is unquestioned in his
support of the republican party in
the past, and will get his support In
a large measure from the party lead
ers throughout the state. Mr.. Moores
has been in southern Oregon during
the past few days in the interests OF
his candidacy, having been aboard
train No. Is Friday afternoon en-
route to Medford.
Locally, one OF the least Of the
offices seems to be arousing the most
comment among the adherents OF
democracy. The party organization
has been headed for a number OF
years by Jas. Slower. Mr.. Slower rep
resented his precinct upon the central
committee, and was named the coun-
ty chairman. At the eleventh hour

The republican party in Josephine

are men Of uprightness OF character

identified with the business life OF

ways occupied prominent place in
the enterprises OF the community. AS

citizen he has given of his time and
his resources to the development OF
