MEXICO WITH U. S.
Carranza Government Is in
Sympathy With Allies.
Note of Friendship Sent to
President Wilson.

Washington, June 12.-Mexico will
give the United States assurances of
her warmest riendship-amounting
practically to a declaration of SYM
pathy for the cause of the allies. This
will be expressed in an autograph let
ter from President CarranZa to the
government of the United States This
was received here by Ambassador Ig
nacio Boni1las of Mexico and will be
presented to Secretary of State Lans-
ing by the ambassador.
Ambassador Bonillas is authority
for the statement that Mexico will
seek to continue her policy of neu-
trality in the world war, but he does
not deny that sentiment in the south
ern republic is with the allied cause
While President Carranza's letter is
intended as an official announcement
that Mexico has returned to normal
conditions. and states that the provi-
slonaI government is in full control of
the situation, the expressions Of
sonally and for continued friendly re-
lations with the United States is taken
in diplomatic circles here to mean
that MeMco's sympathies are entirely
with the allies.
Stop Border Troubles.
1t is understood that Ambassador
Bonillas will renew offers previously
of entire cooperation in the suppress
sion of anti-AmericaB intrigue along
the border. Recent reports of Ger
man activities on the Mexican side are
believed to have decided the provision
al government to adopt a more strict
observance of the neutrality laws and
a sterner policy toward all pro-Ger-
mans within Mexican borders.
President Carranza's letter is con-
sidered here in the light of paving the
way for immediate resumption of all
industrial activities in Mexico by for
eign interests. Already, it is stated a
number of the largest mining proper
ties have been reopened and other en-
terprises are getting back to normal
with comparatively little delay. 1t is
expected that Carranzas assurances
will tend to start d boom in American
Industries in Mexico.
Won't Enter War.
Ambassador Bonillas declared today
that reports from Paris that Mexico
was on the verge of entering the war
on the side of the allies were untrue
He declared Mexico had enough fight
ing and was seeking at present to get
rid of her armies so far as possible
and turn the thousands of men bearing
arms back into peaceful pursuits. In
ternal strife, he declared, was almost
a thing of the past He said he ex-
pected daily to hear or Villas capture

GOOD LUCK TO
FIT. MADISON
Here's Hoping Boys From Up River
Give North Des Moines Beating
Saturday and Bring Champ
innchin Hare

The football game between North
High of Des MoineS, and Fort Madi-
son High school for the championship
of the state at Fort Madison Saturday
will attract number of local rooters.
The game will be well worth seeing
from the standpoint Of the spectator,
and both high schools have fighting
teams this year. Keokuk rooters are
pulling for Fort Madison, and if the
neighboring boys can pull victory
by better than 8 to 0 they will have
the right to claim state championship
unless Mason City gives them game
Mason City defeated North last week
8 to 0. If Fort Madison gets bet
ter than these three points, the team
from the prison city can in all justice
claim the state laurels.
Fort Madison has splendid team
this year, and easily the best in this
section of the state. Coach GRADER
has his men in shape for the scrap
Saturday, and whatever the result Is,
Fort Madison's squad will give
good account of itself. The champ
ions will play here Thanksgiving day
and local rooters will have a chance
to see the big boys in action then.
For years, Des Moines, Ida Grove
and other schools in the central and
north central sections of the state
have been declaring themselves state
champions. They have been like Won
Hindenburg, they have the idea no
body can beat them. Keokuk had a
team in 1907 that could have defeated
any of the state teams, but Des
Moines and the other towns were so
busy Growing about themselves that
they paid little attention to the
locals claims. Now that Fort Madi
son has recognition, let's hope she
lambasts those chesty warriors from
the state capital.

Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Ban John
son stands alone with his surprising
statement that he will ask the govern
ment to exempt eighteen ball players
or each major league club in this
country.
The National league will ask no
such favor.
President Tener today told the
United Press he would not ego one
inch toward Washington to ask Presi-
dent Wilson or the secretary of war
for special favors for baseball
81 think it unpatriotic to suggest
that baseball should even appear to
shirk its duty at this time when so
many parents are giving their sons
and when other business interests
are giving their best men to the serv-
ices Of our armed forces, and are
making other sacrifices for the bene-
fit of our country" the National
president declared.
Governor Tener stated INN ediately
after the United States entered the
war that baseball would do it's full
share Today he was more emphatic
than ever in stating that such plan
as the American league head proposed
would not be approved by the National
league.
1T seems to me nothing could be
further from the purpose of baseball, ;"
Tener continued. Eve canot ask the
government to grant us the slightest
favor
Baseball is trifling thing com
pared to the gaining Of liberty for the
nations of the world. cannot state
too strongly that the National league
has no sympathy with any selfish plan
Of discrimination in favor of its bust
ness or it's players. 1t will not ask
special exemption for any of its ball
players.
"The National league will continue
to help the government in every way
possible"

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo-, Nov.
22.-Charles Comiskey, owner Of the
worlds champion White Sox, is
heartily in accord with the proposed
plan of asking the government to
grant exemption from military ser
vice to eighteen men on each Of the
sixteen major league clubs In order
that baseball may continue during
the war.

JOHNSON HAS
RADICAL VIEWS
Says Not Minor League Can Play
Next Summer-Major Leagues
Must Have Exemptions
to Play.

limited Press Leased Wire Service]
CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-Not minor
league in the country will be able
to start the season Of 1913, in the
opinion of Ban Johnson, president
of the American league.
Johnson told the United Press to-
day that the loss of players, through
military service, and lack Of patron
age. through thrift and interest in
military affairs, will render 1t impos-
sible for any but the major leagues
to survive next year. And the major
leagues themselves won't survive un-
less they receive government sup
port. he said
"I'm not going to ask any favors
from the government-get me right
on this" declared Johnson my
suggestion that eighteen men on each
of the major league clubs be exempt
that-a suggestion.
"The government has let It be
known that it wants baseball to con-
tinue My suggestion only repre-
sents what I believe to be the only
condition under which it can con-
tinue.
Exemption Of certain number Of
men on each club would equalize the
effects of the draft. One American
club has lost nine men through the
draft: another six. They are prac-
ticaIly out of the race as a result.
Exemption of eighteen men would
still leave six from each club for
military service in the American
league and four in the National"
