here the wholesome contagion of the oc-
casion."

siasm when he said whenever he had

At the time the United States was
formed, Mr.. Wilson said, only a lawyer
knew enough to run the nation but since
the war between the states the country
has been faced more and more by social
questions and women have more and
more taken an interest in public affairs.
THE whole structure of our political
questions has been altered" he said
Speaking of the future Of the move.

BLACKLIST misunderstood

Lord Robert expressed the opinion that
not only the purpose of the blacklist but
also the real design of the Paris eco
nomic conference was misunderstood In
the United States, saying in this con-
nection:
THE real purpose of the Paris con-
ference was to arrive at some plan by
which to prevent any resumption or ex-
tension of the politico-commercial sys-
tenn prevailing before the war in the
first place and in the second to devise
means for accomplishing both for our
selves and our allies the enormous task
of reconstruction. We fully realize that
such plan must involve readjustments
Of existing treaties which, with their ia
vored nations clauses now stand in the
way. However, 1T must be remembered
that with the exception of this country,
which has no tariff wall, all countries
have constantly evaded and violated the
favored nations clause"
In conclusion. Lord Robert declared
that the adoption of the plan outlined
at the Paris conference might result IN
q worldwide scientific tariff.

Joint COMMISSION
IS WORKING HARD
TO SOLVE TANGLE
Many Schemes for CO-opera-
tive Control of Mexican
Border Are Under Dis
cussion During Day

New London, Conn, September Scare
full painstaking labor over the compli-
Gated situation along the international
border marked today's session of the
American-Mexican joint commission, to
which has been entrusted the task of
evolving a plan under which peace and
security against bandit raids may he
assured
Many schemes for cooperative military
patrol for exchange of information and
for otherwise frustrating the outlaw ele-
ment of northern Mexico were discussed.
None of them apparently seemed entirely
satisfactory and when the commission
adjourned tonight. to meet again Mon
day, it was intimated that a broader
plan, incorporating adaptable features of
several of those which have been pre-
sented thus far, might be worked out.
American members of the commission
did not hesitate to describe the plan be-
ing framed as substitute for existing
conditions on the border, inasmuch as its
adoption meant the withdrawal of Gen
eral Pershing's force from Mexico.
Two of the Mexican commissioners,
Luis Cabrera and Alberto PAM, left for
New York tonight to spend tomorrow
attending to special missions with which
they have been charged by General Car
rama In addition to their work on the
commission. DR.. John r. Mott of the
American commission also went to New
York. Secretary Lane and Judge Gray,
the other American commissioners, nave
arranged to put in tomorrow studying
over the border situation as shown in
state and war department reports, and
preparing recommendations to submit to
the joint session Monday.

ENGLAND NOT TO
CHANGE POLICY AS
TO THE BLACKLIST
Lord Cecil Says Retaliation
Feature in Revenue Bill
Just Passed Will Not
Effect Situation

London, September SIT is not likely
that Great Britain win change her black
list at the request of the United States,
said Lord Robert Cecil minister of war
trade, In discussing today the possible
effect of recent American retaliatory leg
isiation. To the Associated Press Lord
Robert stated that reply to the black
list protest made by the United States
may be expected soon
Lord Robert, however, declined to enter
into the details of the contest of the
reply beyond the statement that the prin-
ciple embodied in British legislation for
bidding trading with an enemy country
is unlikely to be surrendered In any
measure.
The minister of war trade professed
himself to be puzzled by the provisions
in the revenue bill passed by Congress
at Washington dealing with the prohibi-
ton of imports, as such orders, he said,
were adopted strictly in an effort TO
conserve tonnage and were applied &C
cordingly.

ciated Press:
1.-The ideas expressed by some of your
newspapers that Great Britain is adopt
ing a deliberate policy with whicn 10
in;ure American trade is the purest moon
shine since outside of our own comm
ions our trade with the United States
Is the most important OF course, nat
ural trade rivalry exists, but no respon-
sible statesman in this country would
dream Of proposing an insane measure de-
signed to injure American commerce.
.Any impression that the blacklist is
merely an entering wedge for trade
warfare after this war may be dismissed
at once. 1 assure you the BLACKLIST Is
purely a war measure and cannot IN
s,st too strongly that the government Is
taking every precaution to guarantee Tvs
enforcement so as to cause as little
hardship as possible to innocent traoers.
1--WE believe our trade measures are
proying efficacious although 1t is dill
cult to give any figures indicating the
extent of the harm done to our enemies,
but I might point out that the marx AS
still declining in value.
FEAR is UNGROUNDED
It was then pointed out to Lord Robert
that the belief prevailed that consign-
ments of firms trading with biacKhsted
firms might be refused shipment from
American to other neutral ports tnroush
the fear of not getting coal Loro ROD
ert replied:
This fear is ungrounded, as we have
no desire to interfere nor does the law
contemplate any interference with legiu-
mate trade We are taking precautions
to prevent an unjustified extension OF the
blacklist
Questioned in regard to the fate OF a
ship accepting a consignment from a
blacklisted firm to any South American
port, the minister of war trade said:
II fear we have to insist that our ma
tionals refuse to supply coal for such
purpose, and I am afraid that refusal
Of the United States to permit the clear
ance of a vessel refusing such con-
signment would cause friction between
the two countries"

MEXICANS CONFIDENT

IN the course of the meeting today the
Mexican commissioners were interro-
gated by their American conferees as to
what the de facto government might be
expected to do toward preventing Villa
from again precipitating trouble along
the border. The Mexicans expressed tn
tire confidence in the ability of the mill
tary leaders 80 to isolate and surround
the bandit in the mountains that he
would be helpless to cause any serious
incident. They pointed out, however,
that for more than 10 years he had OPP
Grated in Chihuahua mountains, success
fully evading the seasoned troops of the
Diaz government. For this reason they
did not feel warranted it is understood.

a man becomes all American citizen
he does not change his human nature
1t is natural for him to have an affec-
ton for his birth place. He may dis
approve of its form of government, its
laws and social customs, but he can
not hate its soil. There are ties of
blood, there are friends and dear ones
in the land he has left behind him.
He would make a very poor American
citizen and his loyalty to this coun-
try would be very questionable il he
could easily forget the ties of blood
and friendship.
The history of the United States
proves that those who were true pa
triOts in their native lands made our
best adopted citizens. The thousands
of Irish born citizens who shed their
blood on every battlefield for the
Stars and Stripes were willing when
in their native land to die for her
freedom. The German blood that
flowed so freely to preserve the Union
same from the same hearts that so
loved the Fatherland that they were
exiled for attempting to establish free
institutions on German soil. The
hyphenated citizen has proven his 10y

treason is no less an enormity in his
mind than in the mind of a native
citizen. His nativity did not prevent
Benedict Arnold from becoming a
traitor. The army Of Washington con-
tanned many patriots who owned Eng
land as their native soil. 1t is sim
gular and significant fact that all the
denunciatory talk about hyphenated

against Rev. - and Rev. -, but
do not see in them any justification
for disciplinary action on my part.
They are both excellent priests who
hold strong national views, but | do
not know that they have violated any
law, civil or ecclesiastical. In your
letter of 9Th inst, you appeal to me to
help you in the furtherance of your
work as military dictator of Ireland.
Even II action Of that kind was not
outside my province, the events of the
past few weeks would make it impos.
sible for me to have any part in pro-
ceedings which I regard as wantonly
cruel and oppressive. You remember
the Jameson Raid, when a number of
buccaneers invaded a friendly State
and fought the forces of the lawful
government If ever men deserved the
supreme punishment it was they. But
officially and unoficially the influence
of the British Government was used
to save them and It succeeded. You
took care that no plea for mercy
should interpose on behalf of the poor
young fellows who surrendered to you
in Dublin. The first information
which we got OF their fate was the an
nouncement that they had been shot
in cold blood. Personally l regard
your action with horror, and believe
that 1t has outraged the conscience of
the country. Then the deporting by
hundreds, and even thousands, of poor
