Would Deny Loans From
Americans TO Mexico
Resolution in Congress to Prohibit
Any Financial Help for the Car
rama Government Owing to
Its Policies.
BY Boston Congressman.

washington, d.. T., Sept. 10
Reused by repeated rumors that the
administration was planning to loan
or extend credit to the Carranza gov
eminent in Mexico, Representative
Tinkham, of Boston, has introduced
in congress a resolution which de-
clares:
Whereas, The loan of money or ex-
tension of credit by the government
Of the United States or private per-
sons acting under guaranty of the gov
eminent of the United States to the
existing government in Mexico would
be tantamount to an expression of ap-
prevail of the government of the
United States of the record and pol
icies of the said government Of Mex
leo, and would interest the govern
ment of the United States in the pres
ervation of the group dedicated to the
maintenance of such policies, there
fore, be it
= Resolved, That no loan be made
or financial assistance of any charac-
ter whatever be extended by the gov
eminent of the United States to the
existing government of Mexico
The resolution further provides that
no encouragement be given by any ex-
ecutive department of the United
States government to any citizen or
other person to make such loan to
Mexico.
Repugnant to the U. S.
In introducing the resolution, Con-
gresham Tinkham said: 1--WE cannot
forswear our traditions by sealing the
closest possible bond with govern
ment deliberately dedicated to pro-
gram that is wholly repugnant to the
principles and institutions of the
American people. A great government
loan to the government of Mexico, as
now constituted, or official assistance,
however informal, to the Mexican gov
eminent in securing such loan from
United States bankers would simply
mean that the United States had at
last reconciled itself to indorse a pro-
gram of social, religious and economic
persecution forced on neighboring
people, which it is unthinkable would
be proposed or tolerated at home"
The resolution was referred to the
foreign affairs committee.

Priest Writes Classical
Letter 10 Girl lvheee
Brothers Been Drafted

Miss Mary Newman, Of Hartford,
Conn, was almost disconsolate when
her brother went of to war. She
sought the counsel of a priest, who
sent her q letter that is close to being
a classic. It follows:
Shelton, Conn.,, August 81.
my Dear Mary: Our Catholic
girls, by the grace of God, are usually
so brave as we'll as good that dread
to guide them. Their superiority
makes me nervous dispenser of coun-
sci. To discover one in a passing dis
tress simply accentuates my timidities
and multfplies my fears.
Your letter is but one more contri-
button to a literature that is born in
times that are full of strife. 1t makes
clear how far reaching is the horizon
and how broad is the sky that encom-
passes the victims of war. 1t is obvi-
GUS. however, that all the soldiers are
not in the trenches and that some of
the rarest heroes wear braided hair
and dwell in lingerie. Battlefields
may be geographically located, but
specifically all of them have their
roots struck in countless homes whose
charity has been stabbed by the de-
parture of son or brother to the
front. The thin line of battle con-
sists not merely of brave boys clad in
khaki but of the red courage in the
heart, tears on pallid cheeks and pray
ers on fervent lips of gentle mothers
and sisters at home.
I'm other words, Mary, you have
been drafted. Meet each day with
burning prayer, face bravely the duties
of the hour, and leave all else to
God. Whatever may be hidden in the
folds of the future, you may be GER
tain that Tom will do honor to the
drab colors of the American soldiery,
and on the morrow, whether we look
for him in the dull gray shadows of
defeat or see him come forth smiling
in the white light that is born of VIC
tory, you may again be certain that
your brother will have been faithful
to his God. All of which is a splendid
benediction, and therefore filled with
consultations. Sincerely,
&c. J. DONAHUE."

BRANDON HELD NO
 CONFERENCE HERE
Possible Candidate for Gov ernOr Says He Was Mere ly Passing Through
 the City

Judge w. w Brandon of Tuscaloosa, a possible candidate for governor, held no formal conference with friends from over the state regarding the gubernatorial sit- uation while here Thursday night.
 An authoritative statement to that ef- feet was made to representative of The Age Herald by Judge Brandon last night ing through the city and had no ap- pointments with any friends prior to his arrival
 There was nothing in the nature of a conference held,' said Judge Brandon, in response to a query from representative of The Age-Heraid. 'In fact, most of the 'conferring I did was in the lobby of the HiIlnan hotel. I met several peo- pie there that I knew and quite natur- ally they discussed the gubernatorial sit- uation. My meeting with them was purely accidental.
 T have reached no decision in regard to making the race for governor at this time. My position has not changed since the mass meeting of citizens of my home town, Tuscaloosa, was held some time ago, when I was asked to make the race. Of course, everywhere I go I meet friends of mine who are urging me to enter the contest I have been highly gratified at the encoura cement they have given me. At the proper time will make Ia statement as to my intentions. At present, there is really no great cause for hurry"
