SAYS WAR is IMPROBABLE
Europe Anticipates No Clash BE-
tween The United States and
Mexico

New York, June 2S-An Amster-
dem cable to the New York Sun says;
American diplomats in Europe have
been informed confidentially by the
State Department that there will be
No war between the United States
and Mexico.
This was learned by the Sun cor
resnondent from an absolutely re-
liable source close to the American
lecation. The American diplomatic
representatives themselves refused
to confirm or deny the statement. The
correspondent is in a position to state
however, that the information was
disseminated among the official rep
resentatives of the United States
in Europe some time between Sat
urday morning and Sunday night.
The informant asserts the state
ment from Washington was positive
and added that his personal belief
was that only unexpected radical de-
velopments in the situation more
serious than anything that has hap
pened thus far, could change the re
solution of the American government
to keep "hands off" Mexico.
Europe does not take the so-callec
crisis between America and Mexico
seriously. The general feeling in the
European capitals is that both Car,
rama and President Wilson are "bluff
ing" and that there will be no war
These views are to be read in the
leading French, English and German
| newspapers and are frankly expressed
by representative men from these
| countries at present in Holland. A:
for the opinion Of the Dutch, the Mexi,
! can situation has thus far elicitet
little discussion and seems to be O
small interest to the bulk of the pres
In other words the idea seems tx
prevail throughout Europe that the
Mexican situation is being used by
the Wilson administration to make /;
grand impression upon Europe b!
presenting "nation in arms" quit,
! in contrast with the neutral and ultra
! pacifst America that Europe has be
held in the war. -:
Meanwhile it is curious to observ,
how the "wish, the father of the
thought" speaks out of nearly al
press utterances in Paris, London ant
=, Berlin regarding the Mexican affair

CT Revenue for making the assess
ment of 25 cents under the segrega-
tion plan, and the City Treasurer
for collecting the amounts being re-
spectively in their order $477.S!. and
S623.78.
In the estimated; receipts as given
in the finance committees paper dat
ed April 10, 1915, appears this:
From Sewer Permits S2,50O. The
amount received from this source
was S7,63S, but, it must be remem-
bered that no appropriation was
made in the general appropriation
bill of 1856 for sewer construction.
all the work being under special ord
ers of council from time to time, and
as there was charged to sewer con-
struc!ion S3,712, and sewer pipe ac-
count $1,173 total of S4,4S5. tina!

This review is interesting by rea'
son Of the closeness of the receipts
to estimates and no effort was made
to create any such results.
Chairman Bryan of the finance
committee commented on the remark

remarks in presenting the receipts
and expenditures last night.

much as larger sum, resulting il
considerable waste.


While both Senator Swanson and
Saunders would favor a five year
legislative plan for good roads, as
a general proposition, in preference
to a one year plan, they would op-
pose it unless the appropriations are
made larger than in the Senate bill.
Both Virginians are convinced that
if they can succeed in having Con-
gress establish the precedent of pass
ing a good roads appropriation bill,
the results attained in the rural
communities will be so great that
Congress will not be able to over
come the demand for the continuance
of good road appropriation annual
ly. They therefore do not place so
great Importance to the five year
plan, being confident that if a good
roads bill is once passed it will there
after take its place as regular APP
preparation bill.
The Mexican campaign is making
its effects felt in the sentiment to-
ward the roads bill The large ex-
penditures that must necessarily be
made for the Mexican campaign has
greatly increased the sentiment for
economy on internal improvements
that already existed to a degree on
account of reduced customs receipts
because of the European War.
This will make much more diff
cult the task of Senator Swanson
and Congressman Saunders in bring
ing bill out of conference more IL
beral than the Senate bill. 1t will also
increase the possibility that the Sen
ate brought face to face with enor-
nous expenditures in Mexico will
gain abandon passage of the roads
bills.
Whlle Senator Swanson and Con-
gresham Saunders stand out most
prominently as good roads enthusias-
is, Senator Martin and the nine other
Virginia Congressman are not far
behind in their insistence upon good
road legislation. The solid vote of
Virginia can always be depended on
for road improvement legislation.
