CARRANzA NEUTRAL,
Is OFFICIAL WORD
Ambassador Says He viii Not
Listen 10 German Offers.

carranza will stand neutral In the
world war, and will not listen to any
German overtures.
That assurance has been conveyed
officially to the State Department by
Ambassador Bonillss. While his mes.
sage ostensibly was a notification OF
neutrality, the ambassador left the
distinct impression with Secretary
Lansing that the first chief has not
and will not come under Teuton lures.
In addition to this verbal, official
notice, tho Mexican embassy today
denied that any German influences
have been at work on Carranza, and
gave assurance that he will not even
hearken to any such overtures.
The message of Ambassador Bonil-
las, somewhat delayed, apparently was
a result of informal, secret orders
from the State Department to Ambas-
sador Fletcher at Mexico City to ascer-
tain the Mexican governments posi-
ton, in the light OF the Zimmerman
plot to plunge Mexico, Japan, and the
United States into war. Long afforts
to get an expression were unavalllng,
but now, through his envoy, Carranza
has given what the United States
wanted.

COCKTAILS REFUSES
ALL BUT ARMY PAY
Sacrifices Income to Speed Fleet
Building.

Maj. Gen. George W. Cocktails, who
Is in charge OF the shipbuilding pro
gram of the American Government,
has declined to accept a salary com
mensurate with that he was receiving
in a private capacity. He will &C
cept only the pay OF his grade as an
army officer.
The general regards the shipbuild-
ing program undertaken by the. Gov
eminent as a far more difficult task
than the building of the Panama
canal He has confded to his friends
that there really Is no comparison be-
tween the two tasks. His view shows
the enormity OF the undertaking.
In speaking of General Cocktails
decision today, Chairman Denman, OF
the Shipping Board, said:
when the Shipping Board request
ed the appointment Of General Goe-
thals to take charge of Its shtpbuild-
ing program Il discovered the gen
eral in the private practice OF his
profession as an engineer In New
York, committed to a heavy expendi-
turs for a large stan Of associates
who made up his organization. In
attempting to fix the generals COM
pensation, he insisted on accepting
no more than would discharge his OBJ
legations to these gentlemen, whom
he had brought around him in his
New York office.
General Goethals has since made
arrangements whereby he has been
relieved from these obligations. and
insists that he receive no more than
L. l. III
duty in the army. The disproportion
between this and the generals very
large earning power in his profession
is obvious. This would In other
times be regarded as a very great
sacrifice. Thank God! for the coun-
try, that there comes to him no
thought that this Is a sacrifice. but
merely one OF joyous activity and ser
vice in a time of great need.

The Russian Situation

The appeal of the provisional gov
eminent Of Russia to the patriotism
Of the Russian people is indicative Of
the serious aspect of affairs in that
country. 1t is the irony Of fate that
the extreme left of the revolution
airy party, represented by the sol
diers' and workmen's organization,
should have contemplated the sep
arate peace with Russia which was
the very proposal that led to the
downfall of the Gar. The admirable
letter of Samuel Gompers may help
in making the unruly elements un-
derstand the American attitude.
Until stable government is firmly
established a Russian offensive on
the eastern front will be impossible.
Germany is playing better inter-
national politics than formerly in
ceasing her military efforts against
Russia. She seems to know that
fresh invasion will solidify the ma
ton to resistance better than any
other course. In the virtual truce
that now exists, numerous German
divisions have been withdrawn to op-
pose the British and French advance
on the western front. but unless the
dispatches have all been misleading,
the German army there is being de-
stroyed as it vainly resists the tire
mendous pressure of the allied forces.
The Kaiser recently referred to the
superiority of men and of guns on
the part of our allies and the num-
Der of men and guns captured in
trench fighting indicates the i'm
mense losses in killed and wounded
that the enemy is daily suffering.
1t is possible that Germany is as
unable to make a drive against Rus
-sia as Russia is unwilling to renew
the offensive against Germany. And
the diminished morale of the Ger
man army seems to be a matter of
proof, while the steady stream of
wounded that are being borne back
to Germany must have a depressing
effect upon a population which now
has the additional grievance that it
has been deceived by empty boast
ings of victory.
American agitators who have been
endeavoring to create confusion in
Russia are urged to bend their eff
forts for securing peace upon Ger
many. 1t should be fruitful soil for
such cultivation and the agitation in
that case would not perilously Craze
the edge of treason to their own
country.

of Representatives to nullity in the
support of the war.
The scheme for readjustment of
postoffice charges discloses the alb
senee of a definite and governing idea
from the mind of the committee. On
first class matter a uniform increase
is decreed; but second class matter
is to be subjected to the zone system
in defiance of needs of the country,
the good of the people, the necessi-
ties of the publishers, and the plain
dictates of common sense. Addi-
tional revenues can be obtained frbm
the postal service without imposing
unbearable hardships on its patrons;
but they will not be got by the un-
systematic processes Of arbitrary
imposts the Ways and Means Com
mittee has devised.
So numerous are the faults and
deficiencies of the Ways and Means
Committee bill that under ordinary
circumstances its passage by the
House would be inconceivable. But
the report bears the signatures Of ali
the members of the committee, and
all of them are pledged to vote for
it, although all of them oppose some
of its absurdities. And the House
is expected to pass this measure in
an outburst of non-partisan evasion
without serious debate, and to leave
to the Senate the erection Of an in
telligible statute on the framework
of its enacting clause.
The House may do this thing; but
if it does, it will serve notice on the
American people that only from the
Senate can they expect dignified,
sober, and intelligent consideration
of the grave problems Congress must
solve.
