AS TO MR.. ~LARRAZOLO.

The Democratic State Central Committee is circu-
lating throughout the state a statement that the New
Mexican is opposed to the election Of Mr.. Larrazolo as
Governor. This statement has been printed by some
Democratic newspapers as a news item and by others as
a paid advertisement. The statement is based upon an
unattended item which was printed in a few numbers Of
one Of the issues Of the New Mexican before Mr.. LARA
zolo was nominated.
The facts are that Mr.. Larrazolo called upon the
New Mexican before he was nominated and had a few
minutes talk which did not concern politics in any way.
Within a few hours after this a rumor was circulated in
Santa Fe that the New Mexican had agreed to support
Mr.. Larrazolo if he was nominated. This was not the
fact as the New Mexican had carefully refrained from
making any statement that it would support any Of the
proposed nominees. Accordingly, the officials Of the
New Mexican decided that an item should be written for
the next days paper denying the rumors mentioned.
Through a misunderstanding the statement when
written out was enormously made to read that the New
Mexican would oppose Mr.. Larrazolo's election if he
should be nominated. The error was discovered in the
New Mexican office as soon as the first few papers were
run off the press. The press was Immediately stopped
and the erroneous statement taken out, after which the
rest of the edition Of the day was run off.
Mr.. Larrazolo himself at once expressed to the New
Mexican his full understanding Of the fact that the
statement in question was published through an error.
The Democratic Central Committee well knows that the
New Mexican is supporting both the State and National
Republican tickets and that its attempt to take advant-
age Of a mere newspaper error is simply a trick intend
ed to misrepresent the true attitude Of the New Mexican.
The New Mexican proposes to take every possible step
to see that this misrepresentation does not deceive the
voters Of New Mexico.

The foreign minister expressed the
view that the creation of asieague OF
nations constituted a preliminary
condition for the establishment of q
peace such as President Wilson
and we DESIRE"
Such a league, he said, would
form the framework Of the new
world. 1t Is upon 1t that the vari-
GUS states will build up their reci
procal relations"
"Such a league" Baron Burian con-
tinued, twill replace the policy of an
equilibrium of groups of powers de-
pending on force by an organiza-
ton of states voluntarily submitting
to an international law established
by themselves with the creation OF
an executive power above the states
to enforce the law"
International arbitration tribunals
will settle disputes, the foreign min
lister said, and ornaments will lose
their reason for their existence. The
baron then said:
ut is not my place to enter into a
discussion as to the reasons why
President Wilson delayed his reply to
us when he has communicated with
Germany with a view to enlightening
certain preliminary questions, for ]
should be reduced to pure hypothe-
sis"
Baron Burian told the committee
OF the Hungarian delegation that
President wilson's declaration that
the evacuation of territory was
necessary before an armistice could
be granted was perfectly just and
founded not only on political eason
but on positive military reasons"
"Our agreement and that of Ger
many to this evacuation is certain"
he added.

London, Oct. 17.-Now that Presi-

public men who have commented upon
1t. it may be said that there vas con
siderable uneasiness here while the

The Presidents first note of inquiry
led to some ap~prehensions that he
might commit America in his reply
to the German proposal to some line
of policy which the governments and
peoples associated with her against
Germany could not follow whole
heartedly, or that the President might
seem to speak for the associated gov
ernments and by implication pledge
them regarding matters on which the
other governments had not agreed.
The reply of the President. however,
instantly dissipated all such uneasiness
as is attested by the fervor with
which the note has been received. The

They have carried Hill 299 which
dominates much of the country west
of Romagne and have penetrated the
second line of defense in the vicinity
of Landers-Et-St. Georges.
The battle in this area has been
most savage. The Germans are max
ing every effort to hold their posi-
lions. They are pouring fresh troops
into the struggle in the hope that the
American onslaught may be stayed
before it reaches the important rail
way lines in the rear OF the Ger
man front. A victory for the Ameri-
cans in the Argonne sector would de-
eide the fate Of Germany on the
western front and compel a general
retreat by the enemy from France.
French and Italian troops are NOV
ing slowly along the line from the
Disc to the Aisne than they did on
Sunday when they wiped out the
greater part of the Loan-La Fere
salient. 1t appears that the Germans
are gradually emptying the pocket
formed when the allies broke the
lines north of st. Quentin and along
the Aisne at Berry-Au-Bac.
The French, however. have passed
Sissone. General Gouraud'a army
has crossed the Aisne west OF Rethol
and this advance renders the enemy
position further east rather periious.
