>ther combine losses of marketing.
Taking the roads of France as the
tandard this loss may be expressed
~ saying that while it costs the Ameri-
can farmer not less on the average
than twenty-five cents to haul one ton
of produce one mile, the French farm
err cuts his hauling cost to much less
than half the price his American COM
petitor pays. The point of this COM
ment is that there is to be done the
usual amount of roadwork this sea-
son. At least four dollars out of ev-
cry five will be thrown away. Some
neighborhoods will patch up their
roads again for the fiftieth time and
howl about the "exactions of the mar
keting combine" Other neighborhoods
will feel quite as strongly the Unjust
ice of existing marketing conditions,
but at the same time will shoulder
their road building burden and con-
slider in the light of a practical busi-
ness problem to be solved Such neigh
borhoods will aim first of all at good
passable roads from the farming cen
ters into town. They will build per-
manent bridges and culverts; they
will drain the highways. AS fast as
possible, they will reduce the sleeper
grades. They will cut graft out of
he grading contracts. and they will
get-a dollars worth of
'oad for dollars expenditure. Such
leighborhoods will prosper In which
loes the reader propose to live?-In-
erstate Farmer.

THE SITUATION
IN MEXICO Is
CRAVE INDEED
MONETARY PROBLEM ACUTE -
FOOD SHORTAGE GROWING
AND RAILWAY STRIKE SPREAD
ING.

Washington, May 23,-The econo-
mic situation in Mexico is extremely
grave, according to official adyices
today to the state department. With
the monetary problem already acute,
the food shortage in Mexico City and
vicinity continuing without prospect
of any immediate relief, and with
the labor strike extending virtually
over all the Mexican railway lines,
the de facto government is pictured
as facing a serious domestic plight.
First-hand reports as to the situa-
ton in northern Mexico will reach
the department tomorrow Consul
Letcher from Chihuahua City is en-
route to Washington, presumably
bringing with him a synopsis of the
reports of five consuls recently or
dered to the border to talk on mill
tary affairs with officials there.
1t was officially stated that while
Mr. Letcher will make his report on
conditions in Mexico, that was not
the sole purpose of his trip. 1t was
explained he was ordered here that
routine matters might be taken up
with him, but no inkling of their
nature was given out.
Carranza Prepares Note.
The department today received fur
ther advices from Special Agent Rod
gers at Mexico City telling of the

new note that was in process of
preparation by the de facto govern
| ment but the message threw no light
on its purport. The communication
will be handed to Secretary Lansing
by Eliseo Arredondo, ambassador
designate, but the embassy so far
has no knowledge OF the matter, Mr..
Rodgers last message indicated that
the note had not been sent forward
and might not be sent for a day or
SO.
While reports as to the domestic
situation of the Carranza government
are gloomy, the attitude of Mexican
officials toward the United States
has been described as more friendly
since the border conference between
Generals Scott and Obregon. 1t is
believed possible this will be reflect
ed in the new note, although some
officials think it probable that a new
request for withdrawal of the Ameri.
can eXpeditionary forces Will be in
cluded with whatever other proposals
General Carranza has to make.
Since the state departments repre-
sentations as to the renewed raiding
in the Big Bend country of Texas
have not been answered, the note is
expected to go into that subject Of
hcials here, including Secretary Baker
say the military conference on the
border left the situation unchanged
as to steps being taken as to new
raids. The state department holds
that the original agreement proposed
by General CarranZa and accepted
by Secretary Lansing fully covered
Colonel Sibley's drive into Mexico
after the Boquillas raiders.
The Washington government still
is proceeding on the theory that the
right to follow hot trails across the
border has been established and Gen
eral Funston's executions are based
on this view.
May Court Martial Guardsmen.
Reports from General Funston that
116 members of the Texas national
guard had refused to take the muster
ing oaths and enter the federal ser
vice under the presidents call |
brought members of congress from |
that state to the war department to-
day to find out what action was in |
contemplation. They were told the
matter had not yet reached Secretary
Baker for consideration. Mr.. Bakers
advisers are preparing recon-
for him. They appear to
agree that the men are subject to
court martial under existing military
law. and it is known that some Of
fcers believe they should be tried
and fined as a warning to national
in general that they are
a serious responsibility
in joining the organization. The sec
retary himself has postponed a study
of the law until all the facts are be-
fore him.
