Meantime Military Prepare
tiOns on Huge Scale Go
Forward on Border.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.--President
Wilson is understood to have decided
that the Mexican problem, IL or when 1t
is taken UP by the United States, must
be handled as completely and thoroughly
as was the problem of waging war on
Germany. This at least is the explana-
ton given for the continued prepara-
lions of military and naval character
which are keeping so many persons
working overtime here and which reflect
magnitude Incompatible with any
thing but tho stupendous task of COM
pletely taking charge of the country.
1t appears, therefore, that the Gov
eminent OF the United States has no in
tention whatever of merely setting up a
new dictator in Mexico city II condi-
lions in Mexico demand action sooner
than expected. Likewise II would seem
that all the abortive or petty plans of
furnishing Mexico had been definitely
discarded. STAFF officers understand
that it is complete taking over of Mexi-
can affairs for the benefit of Mexico in
particular and the world in general or
no action beyond possibly chasing ban
dts near the border. The policy of
calmly awaiting the inevitable is still
to be automatically pursued.
At the State Department il IS said
that the American reply to Carranza's
note protesting against the crossing of
the border by American troops had gone
forward and probably would be made
public In Mexico city. The text of this

DETROIT, Aug. 27.-L cut Col. Theo-

this being the first city he will visit on
his tour of the central and Western

leo might mean nothing more than a
legitimate desire to resume business.
But with Mexico known to be In a
disrupted condition and the outlook
growing gloomier every day the desire
of the Germans to establish contact Is
somewhat mystifying, 1t is explained.
The American Association of PRODUCE
ers of Petroleum in Mexico has filed a
reply to statements by members of Car
ranzas official family whereby the Mexl-
can Government claims the right to
enact laws which would result in the
conflscation of property owned by for
eigners, including Americans. The legal
battle is admittedly becoming farcical,
because the Carranza Government virtu-
ally admits it will conduct Mexican af-
fairs in its own special way.

Germans Plan Colonies.


Meanwhile, reports showing that Ger
mans are arranging to establish colonies
In Mexico and indicating that Carransa
is encouraging influx of German in
fiuences continue to attract attention.
Ell Universal, virtually a Government
organ, calls attention to the desire Of a
part OF the German population in Texas
to open trade in alcoholic drinks on
Mexican soil, and adds that representa-
tives of these Germans are making in
vestigatlons with a view to establishing
German colonies.
The Johannsen Felix Company, ac-
cord TO the Excelsior. has bought the
rich FL orc hacienda in Durango. This
German firm is understood to have paid
400, 900 pesos and to be prepared to in
troduce modern agricultural systems in
order to facilitate and render efficient
plans for German colonization.
The ETcelSior also recently published
special despatch from Berlin stating
that more than 100000 Germans were
preparing to emigrate to North and
South America, and added that most of
these would go to Mexico and Argentina
Closely linked with these reports are
statements by prominent Mexican off,
Gals indicating that German immigra-
ton should be we'll received In view
of the circumstances.
For example, Manuel Aguirre Ber-

Try in accordance with the Mexican laws

TORONTO, Aug. 27.-what airmen
claim to be the most magnificent feat
yet performed was completed at 9:37
A. NJ. to-day when Col. Barker. V. c.,
the famous Canadian ace, ended his

Buffalo also held a misadventure for the
daring airman. Before reaching the
ground stop he was obliged to pump air
to his gas tank and was held back and
did not reach the vicinity of Buffalo
until 1t was quite dark. He secuted
about for the aerodrome, and locating
what he considered to be the ground
stop flew low and took his bearings
upon a tree. He then came down on a
rough field.
The first touch caused rebound
which sent him fifty feet into the air,
but Col. Barker eventually landed with
out damage to himself or machine. Peo-
pie who ran to his assistance told him
that the ground stop was five miles dis
tant. So he completed the journey.
The aviator was chilled through and
his face was blistered when he alghted

spite this fact the relationship between
the military governors of Mukden

Governor Allen Hears Farmers Are
Charged Forty Cents 6usheI
for the Work

Governor Allen has begun an inves-
tigation of the alleged profiteering Of
threshing machine operators in Lin
coin County. The governor received
letter from a farmer in that county
stating that the threshers were charg-
ing from SIT to $25 an hour. From the
the reports of various other farmers
it appeared they were actually paying
as high as 20 cents a bushel for thresh-
ing. The usual charge this year is
from II to IL cents busheL 1t was
charged that in some sections where
machines are few and the crop acre
age large that the operators have rails
ed the prices until threshing is pro-
hibitive.
The governor directed the county at
torney of Lincoln County to make an
investigation and report as early as
possible. If the facts warrant, pro-
ceedings will be brought against the
threshers.
Some days ago a complaint OF sim
liar nature was received from Harper
County, and other complaints Of ex-
orbitant prices for threshing are un-

Control Act to extend its provisions to
include clothing, containers of food.

and to penalize profiteering by $4,000

adopted by the House in committee of
the whole, were stricken out in the
final vote
Efforts were made by both Republic
and Democrats to have the amend
ment's provisions cover necessities
other than those included in the amend
ment as reported by the agriculture
committee. Inclusion of kerosene and
gasoline was proposed by Representa-
tive Strong, Republican, Kansas, who
said the prices of these products had

years, but his amendment was re-
jected by a close vote, while that of

Minnesota, to include raw cotton was
eliminated on point of order by Rep
resentative Blanton, Democrat, Texas
Attempts to bring farmers and farm
organizations within the jurisdiction of
