CARRANzA PARTY
SPLIT OVER WAR
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LAREDO, Tex, April 2.-Internal poll
tics, used as a lever in an effort to regu-
late Mexico's course in international af-
fairs have brought about situation of
the utmost gravity in that republic, ac-
cording to travellers just arrived from the
Mexican capital.
These travellers say the constitutional
list party now holding the reins Of gov
ernment is divided into so-called "civil''
group and a military party, embracing
many of the chiefs of the army. Tre-
mendous pressure is being brought to bear
on Gen. CarranZa by each party, but the
president SO far has not definitely
aligned himself with the policy of either
although it is known he desires to curb
the undue activities of the military, ac-
cording to recent arrivals.
The civil party" these men say, is
strongly opposed to any alliance with
Germany against the United States. and
standing firm for policy of neutrality
in the event of the entry of the United
States into the European conflict. The
military party, according to these
stories. is strongly pro-German. and
advocates the entry of Mexico into hos
tilities against its northern neighbor,
with all that such entry implies.

WORDS OF FOLLY

From the lips of Congressman Raj
ney Of Illinois drip words of folly
Congress cannot devise a protective
tariff which will yield the necessary
revenue he says. because the more
protection the less revenue" Mr.. Raj
ney has studied the fiscal history of
the country TO slight advantage If
this is his conclusion. The Payne
tariff was denounced by Democrats,
including Mr.. Rainey, as the sum of
fiscal iniquities, because its rates
were alleged to be too high. Yet the
Payne law produced adequate reve-
nue-and ii was the surplus in the
treasury, put there by the Payne
tariff and other Republican .aritf
laws, that enabled the Democratic
Congresses of recent years to pursue
their course of unbridled ~extrava-
ganee. Now that the Democrats have
to raise their own money for their
foolish expenditures, they are resort
ing to direct taxation rather than
turning to the only sure and safe
manner of providing reyenue-a pro-
tectiye tariff.

NEXT HOUSE R%EPUBLICAN

Political interest is %centering in the
make up of the next House of Repre-
sentatives. If the present figures are
not changed. no less an office than
the speakership of the House off Rep
resentatives "a place once counted
second in power only to the presi-
dency itself-will pass back into the
hands Of Republicans. as well as the
chairmanships Of the big house COM
mfttees and the complete o~rganiza-
tion of the house itself.
Analysis of election results reveals
several interesting things. A new
element, never known before in
American politics. is the advent Of a
woman into the Congress Of the
United States. She is Miss Jeanette
Rankin, of Missoula, Mont, who de
feated her Democratic opponent by
a round 1000 majority. The first Ital-
ian to sit as a United States Repre-
sentative comes in the person Of F..
H. LaGuardia, of the Fourteenth New
York district.
Farley, Patten and 0glesby. three
staunch Democrats Of the Empire
State, went down in defeat. Moss if
Indiana, another Democrat from one
of the strongest agricultural districts
in the country, and author of the ru-
raj credits bill, was left at home by
his constituents, and Everett Sanders.
a clean young Republican, comes in
his place. Besides this, the Hoosier
State, storm center of politics, under
the marvellous organization of Chair
man Will Hays, sends, with her two
new Republican Senators, nine Re
publican Congressman instead of the
two that are in the present house.
The Democratic State of Oklahoma
added another Republican Congress
a to its list. Wisconsin sends
eleven Republicans instead of the
eight she had. California, which de-
feated the Republican candidate for
President, sends six o%ut-and-out Re-
publican Congressman instead of four.
Illinois will have twenty-one instead
of the sixteen she had before. Kan
sas helped elect Wilson, but added
another Republican Congressman. So
did Iowa, Maine. Maryland, and even
West Virginia and Missouri, while
New Jersey increased the Republican
lead by two and New York by two.
Even Speaker Clark's majority in
Missouri was cut down.
The national Republican congress
sional committee, when it organized
last February, mapped out a big job
of work. 1t was to regain the house.
The job was given to Representative
Frank Woods OF Iowa as chairman.

GIGANTIC TASK
GREATEST MORAL CHALLENGE
In HISTORY OF AMERICA
MUST BE ACCEPTED
BY PEOPLE.

New York, Nov. 13.-The follow
ing statement regarding the war
work of the Young Mems Christian
Eddy, associate general secretary of
the international committee:
THE Y. M. c. A. has been chosen
by the government as the agent or
arm of the nation to minister to the
physical, social and moral needs of
the men in the armies, together with
one or two other organizations. In
France there are two organizations
working for the soldiers-the Red
Cross and the Red Triangle of the Y.
M. G. A. The former cares for the
wounded. The latter cares for the
walking wounded. the fighting men,
the welfare work of the allied armies
of France, Italy and Russia, and the
5000. 900 prisoners of war-a total
Of "a, 200, 900 men in all, calling for
a total budget of $35 600 or an
average of $3.50 per soldier.
The Y. M. C. A. works on broad
lines. 1t is open alike to Jew and
Gentle, to Catholic and Protestant.
In France the Catholics hold their
mass in the huts, the Protestants
their services and the Jews their syn
agogue. We have all inherited un-
happy divisions and narrowness
from the past. The war is bringing
us together.
''The Y. M. G. A. seeks to evan
gelize but never to proselytize. III
seeks to hold every man true to his
God, his own church. his w faith,
his home and his own best self.
Workers Of all creeds aoreu ETA
Workers of all creeds are uniting un-
der its roof to minister to the men
as unofficial lay helpers. Here is an
opportunity for us to present a com.
mon front and to serve the need OF
our common humanity. In these wal
camps we can get together on the
broad platform of faith in God, In
humanity and i'm Righteousness, ev'
cry nan holding a right to his owl
creed, but cooperating with all 9th
ers In the face of our one common
human need.
"Our men are facing great physica
hardship in the hell of the trenches
and the moral menac of fighting In
a far country removed from all thu
good influences of home. Can WI
not meet the needs OF these men ant
provide them a home away from
home? Can we not forget the mis-
takes and divisions of the past, ant
face the crisis of the present ant
challenge OF the future? 1t is thu
biggest moral challenge which eve
confronted our people"
