 MEX. MANDATORY

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Rchard P. Cole of California who was an inti- mate friend of Francisco Madero, the murdered Mexican president, and later the personal representative and ad- wiser of President Carranza in the United States until, as he says, Car ranza began to lean toward Germany, said here today armed intervention in Mexico would be a mistake, but that the United States should assume a mandatory over Mexico because no faction or group of factions there were capable or organizing a stable govern ment- He declared his belief that the CarranZa government could not last six months longer.
 Any strong power could conquer Mexico in 60 days" said Mir. Cole. But military intervention would be q shame and a crime. What the MeXi- cons want is food, not force About fs.000,000 of the 17,000, 900 people of Mexico will welcome Americans who come with food and the help they are entitled to.
 T know the United States is sen sitive about hurting the feelings of the Mexicans and hates to intervene even in a friendly way. Some German owned Mexicans might protest. But Great Britain, France, Holland and the United States have huge interests in Mexico and the foreign nations are not going to allow CarranZa to confiscate their large investments and sell them to Germans in that country.
 Mexico is bankrupt, hopelessly .so, Carranza cannot borrow any money, Sixty per cent Of Mexico is actually in rebellion and the peons are starving Mexico is far worse off than Poland Belgium, Russia or Armenia But right now any adequate financial as- sistance given Carranza would cause his downfall for if any appreciable amount of money were placed in the | Mexico treasury, nothing could stop g movement against him, led by the meT who are in positions of trust in his l very shadow.

GERMANY WILL NOT
 BE SLAVE NATION

COPENHAGEN, April 26.-(By The Associated Press)-The president of the German national assembly, Kon- stantin Fehrenbach, speaking at Frei- burg yesterday, said he was certain that President Wilson was inclined to insist on his fourteen points. It was very possible that a plenary session would be convoked to decide regarding the signing of preliminary peace treaty as well as to cooperate in the peace negotiations.
 We are in no doubt as to what it would mean for the southwestern cor ner of the empire. if we refused to sign the peace treaty" said Herr Febren- bach. T take it that we shall not sign a peace which leaves prisoners still in captivity and does bring the raising of the blockade. Neither will we sign a peace which surrenders the Sarre re- zion to our enemies and promise Dan zig to the Poles. "The government and parliament jointly bear a tremendous responsibil- 1 ity, but behind them stands the entire German nation. Our enemies must know and it must penetrate their coun-
 tries-we will not accept any dictated terms and will not be a slave nation"

EUROPE At a Glance
By the Associated Press

Premier Orlando reached Rome Sat urday to take up with the Italian gov ernment and parliament the situation brought about by the statement of President Wilson that Italy shall not have Plume.
 The Italian premier received an en- thusiastic ovation and the phrase. Italy, Plume, Dalmatia," was dis played prominently. Foreign Minister Sonnino and former Premier Salandra of the Italian delegation have left Paris for Rome to join the premier.
 There has been little change in the situation in Paris. and attention there is focused on Rome and what may occur there. The British and American delegations are hopeful of a satisfac- tory adjustment, but fear that the en- thusiasm of the Italians may compel the Italian delegation to make de- mands which cannot be met.
 President Wilson conferred with all the members of the American delega- tion yesterday afternoon. In the fore noon he met Premiers Lloyd George and Clemenceau to discuss financial clauses of the peace treaty.
 A statement issued in Paris saying that the report was inaccurate that the British and French premiers had approved President Wilson's statement on the Adriatic problem, added that the premiers had sent joint state ment of their views to Premier Orlando It was said the question of making the F'ranco-Brit statement public was for Signor Orlando to decide.
 Issuance of a statement bringing out that the British and French prem iers 1 agree with the president on Plume and other phases of the Italian problem is | being discussed.
 Meanwhile, however, the various commissions of the peace conference are preparing for the plenary sessioI Monday to consider the league of na- 1 tions covenant and the presentation 1 of the peace treaty to the German delegates about the middle of the week | probably Wednesday.

RurIeson Answers Post

WASHINGTON. April 26.-Replying to a telegram from Charles Johnson Post, director of the publishers advis- ory board, regarding the use of convict labor on his plantation in Texas, Post master General Burleson said:
 Answering your wire: The full facts in connection with the lease to the state of Texas of the plantation in which I was interested. upon which the state used convict labor, and the terms of the contract in connection herewith, have been placed before the congress more than once and have long been a public record. It would be quite interesting for you to publish now, and later have laid before congress the facts in the same detail about moneys raised and spent to secure the repeal of the zone postage rate law. Of course you know, as the New York World did when it published this falsehood, that did not use convict labor on my plantation, but that the plantation was leased and cultivated by the state of Texas, and the convicts used thereon were at all times under the states exclusive control and man. agement."
 Later NIT. Burleson issued a state ment declarlnS tnetJ reSoiuIlOnS aQOpt- ed by the publishers association con- nitted it to "a petition for the repeal or suspension of the law increasing the rate of postage on newspapers and magazines"
 This makes the issue plain" said
 MT. Burleson's statement Should the law De repealed or should it be per mitted to stand2
 "The statement that the public and not the publishers suffer by the zone rate is an insult to the intelligence Of the American people. However much selfish publishers may attempt to camouflage the situation. the thought ful, intelligent reader will not lose sight of the real issue. Shall the old time s72 ,0e0 000 postal subsidy. taken from the pocket of other users of the mails, be restored 10 the few parasite pub- fishers who for years have pigndered the postal revenues?

Subscriptions by districts s-.d

partment of justice, the federal trade commission and the treasury have taken steps looking to investigation or reports that Liberty bond scalpers arc doing a thriving business in many lo- calities by buying bonds of past issues at very low prices. These bond brok- CTS, it has been reported. urge persons to sell bonds already bought and to subscribe for the new issue of Liberty notes.
 Brokers Being Watched
 In some cases, amateur brokers
 have paid as little as S70 and $90
 for Sf00 Liberty bonds, although the
 market prices for all past issues
 are above Se0. The investigation
 has been undertaken to ascertain
 whether buyers of these bonds
 have misrepreseuted the market
 value in an effort to lower the buy
 ing price. Newspapers were urged
 again to publish in prominent po-
 sition the market quotations for
 bonds of past issues, as teleeraphed
 to them daily, to prevent small
 bond owners from being mulcted
 of their savings.
 Other reports to the treasury are 10 the effect that bond buyers in large cities advertise that they have beer licensed" by the government to buy Liberty bonds. Officials explained that no brokers have been licensed by the government to buy bonds, and that no formal restrictions are imposed by the treasury. In several cities. men have established what they call Liberty bond exchanges" offering 10 take Lib erty bonds in trade for cheap iewelry or other merchandise
 Prevention of fraud or of sharp prac- tices in these cases rests largely with local Liberty loan committees, it was said, since grounds cannot be often found for prosecution under federal laws.
 Reports from all districts tonight told of well sustained interest and the outlook generally was said to be good, said the treasury's review of the Vic tory loan campaign In certain sec tions of the northwest difficulties were being experienced in reaching the rural sections, and sales in the mining and rural sections of parts of the central west continue to be disappointing.

GASOLINE BOILING POINTS,

Every motorist wants only such gas

with a full and continuous chain OF
boiling points.
Low boiling points give easy start

explosion quickly. The gradually ris-
ing series of boiling points form the
connecting links between the higher
and lower, just like fuse, giving ever
increasing power and force to the ex-
plosion.
With both high and low boiling
points connected by a gradually rising
series, everything needed in good
