Is pointed out that the notes on the
jenkins and Wallace cases failed to
develop a common basis upon which a
settlement could be reached. Neither
country. 1t is contended, accords full
faith in the others evidence
For instance, In the Wallace case,
Mexican officials are satisfied with the
testimony of their own citizens that
the American provoked the fatal attack
upon him by riding his mule over a
machine gun squad. The American in
vestigation. however. developed that
the Carranzista soldier kicked Wal
lace's mule, causing the animal to shy
into the squad. After shooting Wal
lace, the Mexican soldiers poured
liquor over his body to make 1t ap-
pear that he was drunk. American
friends of Wallace testified that he
never drank.
Latest developments in the Jenkins
case similarly illustrated the conflict
which apparently influenced every
diplomatic interchange of the two
countries. The American consular
agent reported to his embassy in Mexi-
co City that he personally heard poems
retract their original testimony against
him and state they were compelled to
say at first that he was in collusion
with his abductors. Although repeat

fractions the Puebla court finally re-

Professor Walter 6huecking, Ger

the people Of the United States today.
Christmas infpends, and the con-
clusion of peace" Shuecking said, but
Christmas Joy is lacking in our hearts.
Humanity has suffered too much.
Many millions of our brothers have
entered that dark land from which
none return. When the Holy Evening
comes, there will go through the world
a great sob from the forlorn, aged
mothers whose sons are dead. Grief
stricken women will lay beneath
Christmas trees gifts for little ones
who never have seen their fathers.
Lonesome girls will rail against a fate
which took away their hope for happi-
ness in marriage.
There Is no home in Germany in
which the family circle is untorn by
death. Oh, could one this Christmas
evening adorn the graves of the dead.
In the ages of history humanity erected
pyramids over the vaults Of it's dead
in honor of their memory. But where
are the dead of this war; Unburied
their bodies; putrefy over miles of war
torn wastes. No flower blooms over
their graves. There are no linden

the general belief In that country that
the next general elections here will

In its recent diplomatic intercourse

President Wilson any too freely, and
at the same time, that Wilson would
not play into the Republicans hands"

who will be the next president. They
show particular interest In General
Wood. 1t may be taken for granted
