ASSAILS WILSON'S
MEXICAN POLICY
SENATORS cRlTlcisE PRESIDENT
REGARDING RECOGNITION OF
CARRANZA REGIME.
Senator Williams Directs Attsntlon
From Mexico by Commenting Upon
Questions Arising From the
European War.

Washington.-Mex furnished the
vehicle on Thursday for another dis
cussion Of foreign relations on the
floor of the senate. 1t preceded the
adopting without opposition of a res
olution offered by Senator Fall calling
on President Wilson for all available
information bearing upon the recogni-
tion of the Carranza government by
the United States.
Senators Fall and Lodge spoke in
support of the resolution, insisting
that the president should inform con-
gress fully concerning the situation
before the naming of an ambassador
to Mexico was confirmed.
Senator Williams diverted attention
from Mexico in the course of the de-
bate by commenting at length upon
questions arising from the European
war He said an embargo on exports
Of munitions would "hamstring the
United States more than any other
first-class power
Senator Borah wanted to know
whether the Mississippi senator
thought that after the war some Euro
pean government would attack the
United States out of pure spirit of con-
quest.
II am not anticipating an attack in
the first place" Senator Williams re-
piled. Il am anticipating bullying
first and | am anticipating the fact
that the American people will not con
sent to be bullied."
He declared there would be plenty
to quarrel about, referring to repeated
torpedoing Of unarmed merchant ships
by one nation and by the ally of that
nation, after the questions involved
apparently had been settled by d.
plomacy.

For wilt, common disease Of the

of the Oregon experiment station it is
unlikely that any practical remedy can
be developed. owing to the nature of
the disease. Where it becomes seri-
Gus rotation of crops is advised. Wilt
is most prevalent on heavy soils, par
ticularly where drainage is slow.
This disease has been reported in
New York and California and has re-
Gently been identified in certain sec
tons of Oregon. 1t is most serious
where the stand of alfalfa is heavy
and spreads fastest in the fall, when
the surface soil is constantly wet. It
also attacks clover.
The moisture causes rot to develop
on the stems near the surface Of the
soil and this forms point Of attack
for the wilt disease. A white cotton
like mold grows over the surface of
the stems and leaves affected. The
roots Of the plant are not, however,
always destroyed

CLAIM THAT OPERATIONS WERE
CARRIED OUT WITH LOSS OF
BUT ONE MAN.
Retirement Of Troops From Anzas and
SuVIa Bay Three Weeks Ago
Left No Strategic Advantage to
Retention of Peninsula.

London.-Tt is officially announced
that the complete evacuation of the
Galilpoli peninsula has been success
fully carried out. The communication
issued Sunday evening says:
Gen. Sir Charles Monro reports
the complete evacuation of Gallipoli
has been successfully carried out.
"All the guns and howitzers were
got away with the exception of sew
enteen wornout guns, which were
blown up by us before leaving.
Our casualties amounted to one
member of the British rank and file
wounded.
General Monro states that the ac-
complishment of this difficult task
was due to Generals Birdwood and
Davies, and invaluable assistance rem
dered in an operation of the highest
difficulty by Admiral De Robeck and
the royal navy"
This news has been expected for
several days by the keener observers
of the Near Eastern campaign, for the
retirement of the troops from Anzas
and Suvla bay three weeks ago left no
strategic advantage to the retention OF
the tip of the peninsula, Neverthe-
less, the news will be received with a
pang of regret by the people of the
British Isles as well as the colonies.

HAVE ANOTHER STORY.
German Naval Critic Writes That
Russian Offensive Has Been Well
Prepared.-Emperor Williams
Condition Serious.

London.-The battle continues be-
tween the Russians and Austro-Ger-
mans in Galicia and Bukowina. The
Russians claim further victory gains,
but the Austrians claim to be holding
their ground
The Austrians have made deter
mined counterattacks along the mid
die Stripa and northeast of the town
Of Czernowitz and, according to the
Russian official communication, they
were beaten back with enormous
losses, while the Russians have made
distinct gains, occupying several Aus
trian positions and taking more than
1900 prisoners In all.
Count Won Reventlow, the German
naval critic, writes that the Russian
offensive has been well prepared and
that the Russians have great reserves
of men and artillery, and he considers
that the movement, If successful,
might bring Roumania and Greece on
the side of the entente.
Count Won Reventlow's opinion con
corning Greece is not shared in Great
Britain, where the opinion prevails
that the Greek king is not likely to
oppose his brother-in-law, the German
emperor, in any circumstances.
Emperor Williams condition con-
tinues to be a leading topic. All mes
sages from Berlin declare that his
throat ailment is only slight, while
rumors from other countries report it
dangerous.
The British political crisis over con-
scription has subsidized for time at
least. The opposition may gradually
simmer down, as did the threatened
revolt against drink restrictions. Most
of the radical section of the labor
men, particularly the Socialists, talk
Of strike by the coal miners, which
would bring the wheels of industry to
standstill and handicap the ship
ping industry, which is the heart of
the nations life, but there is, no
strong evidence that any important
strikes will materialize.

SANITARY MILK PLANT
Cleanliness often Overlooked in

Score Gard Used by Dairy inspectors

Avoid Stralners.


During the rush of business the i'm
portance of cleanliness In the milk
plant is often temporarily overlooked.
AS a reminder of points often neglect
ed in this way, a score card, such as
is used by dairy inspectors in scoring
city milk plants, should be posted
where It can be easily seen by the
employees who, by studying 1t, can
learn wherein they are lacking, from
the inspectors point OF view. The
dairy division of the bureau OF ami
NAL industry OF the United States de-
partment OF agriculture will send a
sample score card on request.
Many of the items on the card are
self-explanatory, but there are some
details in milk-plant sanitation which
are not given on any score card. II
the floors, walls and ceiling are
smooth and are made of sound and
durable materials, they may be- easily
kept free from dirt and dust. Con-
crete floors are very satisfactory, for
they can be flushed often with wa
ter, there is no danger of rotting, and
If properly constructed there will be
no cracks in which dirt can collect.
Iron plates laid in cement are SAM
tary and are more durable than con-
crete.
A separate room for handling the
milk apart from ali other operations
is essential and all doors must be kept
closed to exclude flies and impure air.
1t is better to provide pure air by
means Of a modern system of ventila
ton. Even when the air is pure, the

MEXICANS MURDER
AMERICAN MINERS
SIXTEEN MEN TAKEN FROM
TRAIN, STRIPPED OF CLOTHING
AND SHOT TO DEATH.
One Member OF Party Escapes From
Firing Squad and Reports De-
tails Of Tragic Fate OF His
Countrymen.

Ell Paso, Texas.-Sixteen mining
men, most of them Americans, en-
route from Chihuahua City to Cusi-
huiriachic, western Chihuahua, on
Tuesday were taken from a train,
about fifty miles from Chihuahua
City, stripped of their clothing and
shot by Mexican bandits. Confirma-
ton of news of the tragedy we made
by officials here of the CarranzR de
facto government.
One of the men lived In San Fran
cisco. another in Los Angeles, while
the others are all believed to have
been residents of Fl Paso.
First reports of the tragedy were
received here in a message from
Thomas M. Holmes, the only survivor,
to Mrs. Holmes, advising her Of his
safe arrival at Chihuahua Inquiries
instituted by officials of the Ameri-
can Smelling & Refining company de
veloped the details.
The Inflated party boarded train
at chihuahua City, intending to re-
open at Cusihuiriachic properties of
the smelling company, officials of
which had been given assurance of
protection by the de facto govern
ment.
According to one account, bandits
stopped the train early Tuesday
morning and ordered the party to
descend. Holmes, however, slipped
into the lavatory, and from his hid
ing place witnessed the stripping OF
the prisoners of their clothing. The
party then was marshaled down the
track, escorted by firing squad, AS
Holmes slipped from the car and ran
in the direction Of Chihuahua City,
he declared he heard shrieks, fol
lowed by volley of rifle shots.
A protest addressed to President
Wilson Tuesday night was signed by
several hundred mining men in hotel
hobbies here. Advices also were re-
ceived that numerous expeditions
which recently left to reopen proper
ties made idle by the Mexican revo-
luton were returning to the border.

j. S. TO CONTINUE
ON PEACEFUL PLAN
WILL NOT ADOPT RETALlAToRY
MEASURES AGAINST GREAT
BRITAIN.
Note on contraband Now in Course Of
Preparation, But It viii Not Go
Forward Until LusitanIa Incl
dent is Closed.

Washington The United States
will continue to try by the recognized
methods of diplomatic usage TO obtain
relief from the injuries her shipping
interests are now suffering by reason
Of Great Britain's disregard of inter.
national law
1t will not adopt retaliatory meas
ures to compel Great Britain to grant
this relief,
This is the attitude of the state de-
partment as obtained authoritatively
on Monday. 1t correctly expresses the
course of procedure to be followed in
the interchange of notes regarding
Great Britain's blockade of Germany
and of neutral countries.
The note on contraband now in
course of preparation by the state de-
partment will not go forward to Great
Britain, it is understood, until the
Lusitania incident has been closed.
A group of Texas cotton growers
have had bona fide offer with salts
factory financial backing for a ship
load of approximately 10000 bales OF
cotton, to be delivered in Germany
at n cents per pound Representa-
tives of these growers have ap-
preached the state department for ad.
vice. They insist the shipment will be
made, and they want to know what
they may expect. The state depart
ment is of the opinion that the cotton
will never reach is destination.
Shrewd guessers in the state depart.
ment forecast its seizure by French
or Russian warship. BY allowing one
of her allies to do this Great Britain
could escape becoming involved
