What saexiCo
Costs Us.

Being neighbor to disorderly
Mexico is rather costly. We doubt
that American citizens regret the
money and effort spent in the
maintenanceof the policy Of watch
fol waiting but most OF them
will be sgfprise3 u learn that The
Mexican trouble has cost the AM
erioan government q hundred mil
llou dollars.
This total is not official; it 10 q
newspaper estimate from Wash
inQton and is to bo SO considered.
Yet It ia easily.hellevable that be-
causa of Mexico, the government
alone has spent hundred mill
lion dollars. This total, of course,
does not include the loss OF AM
eriean property 10 Mexico, q loss
which 10 probably eqaal to the
am cunt spent by the government
1t is Furthermore announced
that the trouble has caused the
death Of sixty officers and men OF
the American forces. In view of
the arduoas service rendered both
by the regular army and The ma
tional guard, during the past four
years this total is surprisingly
small. The figures show that be-
tween May / and October IL, no
less than twenty officers OF the
regular army were forced by ply
sical inability TO retire from their
service in Mexico and on the bor-
der. Only ten regular officers have
been killed in action or have died
from wounds and disease since
May /.
The call to border service was
somewhat staggering TO the officers
of the national gnard. The aston
iehingly large total of 459 officers
Of the guard OF the various states
have resigned since The first mobi-
lization order was issued. This
does not mean that anything that
number Of men were afraid OF ac-
tive war A great many OF these
officers were perfectly willing to
serve, but were probably unsuited
for service aud resigned because
of pressure from their superior off,
GERS or companies. In many oth'
er cases the officers had families
dependent upon them. and the
government permitted them TO dis
charge their first and nearest du'
ties. The total Included, also,
LIT officers, who wanted to serve
but who were discharged because
they were physically disabled.
| Yet, there is no way by which
this government can escape paying
the cost of its nearness to Mexico.
And, il an attempt is made to fig
ure the cost OF the Mexican
troubles,a a journey would have to
be assayed into the unknown.-7

New York, Sept. 14.-Despite the
maintenance Of regular schedules on
the subway and elevated lines OF the
1nterborough Rapid Transit Company
and the gradual restoration of service
on surface lines, leaders OF the strlk-
ing railway employees declared today
they were far from being defeated
They hinted that the danger OF a SYM
pathetic strike is not yet over.
Following a demonstration and pa
rade the question OF sympathetic
strike will be discussed at mass meet
ings.
Strikers predict that strike OF
workers in other lines will be adopted.
Whether the strike actually takes
place, however. depends on the lndi-
vidual votes of the unions.
Traction officials today declared
that the service on the subway and
elevated roads was better than normal.
On the surface lines the service was
said to be twenty-five to forty per
cent below normal.
The companies say it is no longer
necessary for them to hire strike
breakers. claiming that hundreds ol
the former employees have returned -
work.

Federal Investigation Of Rise Begun
in Washington.
Washington, Sept. 1.-THE depart
ment of agriculture will make ma
ton wide inquiry into the increase in
milk prices. The first action Of the de-
partment will be taken today, when
milk producers from Maryland. the
district Of Columbia, and Virginia, who
supply the Washington market, will
confer with w. J. Spillman of the office
of farm management and B. H. Rawl,
| chief of the dairy division, and Frank
G. Kaffey, solicitor for the department.
mir. Spiiiman said that he would ap-
point special investigator an expert
| Of national reputation, to study condi-
tions thruout the United States to de-
termine whether dairymen would be
Justified in a general price raise in

The investigation by the department
was ordered because OF threats In New
York, New England, PENNSYLVANIA, Illi-
nois, and other dairy sections to In
crease prices to consumers.
The farm management division oi

Spillman said. had planned an exten-
sive investigation of the question OF
milk production before the situation
arose in Washington. We want to get
at the facts as to the cost of milk pro-
duction."
| Mr.. Spillman said that in various
| sections Of the country farmers have
gone out of the dairy business and
| turned to truck farming and poultry
| raising because they thought they
could not produce milk with profit.
| Herman e. Gasch a member of the
committee OF Maryland and Virginia
producers. said today that the pro-
ducers want to get at the bottom of
the trouble and would like for the pub
lie to know the real situation.
"The committee" he said. desires
to go before the public with a justifica- =
ton OF it's proposition to increase the
price of milk. We want the public to
know that present conditions in the
milk producing business are ruinous
We believe the public will help the
producers. If small producers are
forced to sell their stuff the butchers
will get the cows and then the milk
price to the consumer will ultimately

effort to persuade Alexander Zaimis.

by the appearance OF the allied fleet
off Piraeus at the very moment when
negotiations had been begun for the
entry of Greece into the war. The arr

Athens by French and British agents
and the invasion of the French lega-

ing Pro- British.
Berlin. Sept. 14.-The American am
4bassador, James W. Gerard again Is
under fire in section of the German
press, this time for remark attributed
to him regarding speech made re-
Gently by DIR. Gustav Stresemann. ma
tional liberal member Of the reichstag
advocating among other things re-
sumption Of the submarine warfare.
Ambassador Gerard is quoted as say
ing that he did not understand how the
representatives Of districts for which
export to America was vital question
could advocate ruthless submarine
warfare. The national liberal press
agency in communication to the
newspaper takes the ambassador to
task for what is termed "unwarranted
intervention in a purely German ques-
tion" and says that the ambassadors
remark is characterized by that naive
presumptuousness which believes that
the decision affecting Germany's poll
tical future will be dictated by Ger.
many's American export interests"
. The paper declares that Ambassador
Gerard would do better to leave to the
responsible German authorities the de-
cision on what use Is to be made of the
means at their command against Eng
land, and adds:
''The art and manner in which Am
bassador Gerard---and not for the first
time-looks after British interests IL
extremely characteristic OF his general
attitude"
The American ambassador In reply
saws that he never heard OF DR.. Strese-
nann's speech and certainly never
made any public utterance Of the nat
,,re attributed to him. His attitude
on the submarine issue, he declares
is based on pro- American. not pro-
British motives.

Integrity Of China and Open. Door Pol
icy Not Endangered by Russo
Japanese Treaty-Inquiry Brings Re-
sponses From Japan and Russia.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Both Japan
and Russia have given the United
States formal assurance that the new
Russo Japanese treaty does not repeal
or affect the treaties Of 1907 and 1870
in which those nations pledged them
selves to maintain the integrity Of
China and the OPEN door policy.
The assurances were given to Am
bassadors Guthrie at Toxic and Francis
at Petrograd. IN response to inquiries.
The state department today received
from Mr. Guthrie a note on the subject,
stating in unequivocal terms that ia
pan had not for a moment entertained
an intention Of departing from these
policies.
Department officials let it be known
that the statements were entirely salts
factory and that inquiries concerning
the treaty probably would not be
pressed further
