CARRANZA SEEKS
LOAN AND ARMS
Mexican Agents Ask Wash
ington's Aid in Obtaining
Sorely Needed Finances
NEW REVOLUTION FEARED
WASHINGTON. July "a

WASHiNtION, july If.
Representatives Of the Carranza govern
rnent In Mexico are in Washington making
determined and organized effort to get the
embargo on arms and munitions OF war to
Mexico lifted entirely or at least modified
The same group Is doing its utmost to get
the Federal Government here to make n
loan to Mexico or to give it's sanction to a
loan subscribed by syndicate Of American
bankers SO far little progress has been
made.
Carranza is sadly short Of munitions of
war. according to reports laid before Gov
ernment officials here II has been suR-
Hested that the mechanical weakness Of the
carranzista forces imperis the stability OF
his government. II opposition factions can
by flihustering or other means supply them
selves better than CaTranza now is sup
plied-and that, II Is claimed. would not
be difiicult-thc Carranza regime would be
overturned
These statements have been presented to
the Washington Government as arguments
in favor Of modification Of the embargo. IL
has been suggested that under the newly
organized exports council a policy could be
adopted whereby exports Of munitions to
Carranza could be licensed II IL admitted
here that this would be possible II the Amer
ican Government decides that such course
is desirable
The special prayer Of the Mexicans Is for
money. The Mexican treasury Is in bad
shape and Carranza, it is stated fears that
he cannot maintain himself much longer un-
less financial assistance is forthcoming from
some quarter. That any other nation than
the United states is likely to make loans to
Mexico is deemed unlikely. so the McNicans
are concentrating their attention on Wash
ington.
II Is declared that there are extensive
financial interests in this country that would
be willing to make loan to Mexico, pro-
vided the sanction OF the Washington au.
thorities could be obtained These bankers
have made heavy investments in Mexico and
fear that unless they add enough now to
make their property safe they will lose
everything
The fact that the United States and Great
Britain now are allies may have some bear
ing on the situation. British oil interests
in Mexico are extensive. and the British
Government Is weary Of the many humilia-
tions and embarrassments which have been
thrown i'm the path of her citizens in Mexico
by reason Of Mexican disturbances II
financial assistance could be given Mexico
at this time in such way as to guarantee
peace and quiet and an opportunity to bring
needed naval oil out Of the TuXpam and
Tampico districts in larger quantities. the
authorities in London would be glad to see
Il given.

THE LEwIsH NATION.

Jews of the world can see, almost
within grasp, a national home, a
flag, and a country Of their own.
Sir Arthur Balfour. in one letter to
Lord Rothschild, has given a greater
impetus to the cause of zionism than
all the efforts Of the Jews themselves
during the last century.
He has written Lord Rothschild
that the English government favors
the establishment in Palestine, of a
national home for the Jewish race.
For 1000 years the Jews have
maintained literature, a language.
and a religion without nation Of
their own. 1t has been done in the
face of the bitterest persecution. But
the day Of their exile soon may be
ended. Nobody believes that all the
Jewish people will return to Pales-
tine. There is nothing to prevent the
Jew becoming a good citizen of any
country in which he may reside. But
Palestine will offer a center for the
Jewish religion and Jewish culture,
and the present generation may live
to see a Jewish flag flying over a
Jewish republic on the shores of the
Mediterranean sea,

THE CRUSADE OF 1917.

Almost unnoticed the Great Cru
SADIE of 1917 is in progress.
In the Eleventh, Twelfth and Thir-
teenth centuries, crusading was the
popular sport Of kings, and the occu-
patton of knights of all classes, from
those who looked upon the freeing of
Jerusalem as the pursuit of the Holy
Grail, to those who saw in 1t a chance
for fame, loot or escape from UNI
comfortable attentions by. officers of
the law at home,
The Crusades about filled the his
tory of those three centuries. The
pupil who is up" on the Crusades,
may face questions on the period in
European history between 1000 and
1900 with fair degree OF confidence.
But the Crusade OF 1917 is within
reach of success. The British forces
are pushing north toward Jerusalem,
and are now at Hebron. The next
step is Bethlehem itself. and then
Jerusalem. They have but twenty or
thirty miles to go to reach the Holy
City, where Richard Occur de Lion
all but lost his life. and where the
Templars fought and fell before the
Saracen.
Almost any day may come the re-
port that Jerusalem is once more
under the rule of Christian nation.
but the average reader skins over
the news and mentally says: Yes.
Yes. But how are the Italians hold
ing?"
