CEDDES FAMILY
 DISCOVERED BY
 GREAT BRITAIN

LONDON, Aug 30 (P)-One of the useful discoveries which the war has given the British nation is the Geddes family, Sir Eric Geddes, a. Minister of Ways and Communica- tions, and Sir Aukland Geddes, as President of the Board of Trade, are lat the head of the two foremost de- partments engaged in the great work IOf reconstruction while their sister | is Commandant of the WOman's Roy Ial Air Force with a semimlitary or gani2ation of several hundred under her control
 The Geddes brothers come from Scotland, which is apt to be guar IantCe of success, and before the war they were almost unknown beyond the circles of their own professions. ISir Erie Gcddcs was a railroad man agrr and railroad magnates do not hold so large a place in the public eye in England as they do in Amert- Ca; smaller than a bishop or a mast CT of Fox Hounds, which last is a bout the most purple pinnacle of dis tinctiOn
 Sir Aukland Geddes was professor of anatomy at McGnl University in Toronto. Both of them acknowledge Ia debt to the inVigorating atmos- phere of the North American conti- lumberman and later had his first railroad lessons on the Baltimore and Ohio.
 Sir Fries first billet in the govern ment SerVic" was for the OrganiZa- tiOn and management of the hun drcds of miles of railroad lines be- hind the British army in France which he pulled out of something like chaos where regular staff officers had left it. Then he succeeded Al. thur Balfour at the head of the ad- miralty, at time when there were complaints that the navy was in the hands of rather hide bound of ad-
 "irals and needed more ginger,- which it got.
 Sir Aukland entered public life in the uniform of private soldier but he soon graduated to the war office to be Lord Derby's right hand nf hD recruiting scheme. Step by step he became minister of national ser vice, president of the local govern ment board, minister of reconStruc- tion and finally president of the board of trade which roughly corres- ponds to the department of the inter- for at Washington.
 Just now the two brother have charge of the two toughest problems of Lloyd Georges administration, the reconstruction and the nationaliza- ton. otherwise, as the issue may be decided,- of the transport and mining systems of the United King dom, a large order
 There is little family resemblance between the brothers at first glance. Sir Eric is tall and broad, of the | type called massive, and looks every | inch a man of big business who is used to have his own way, and l when he puts his hand to the plough, | to drive d deep and straight furrow, but his pink smooth shaven face suggests an outdoor life more than the office.

AMERICA
WON'T BACK U.s..
INVASION OF MEXICO WOULD
AROUSE ATTITUDE OF UN-
FRlENDLINESS SAYS WRITER.
(BY HARRY B. HUNTo

The United States is receivin ,
neither sympathy nor support from
Latin American countries in its dis
pute with Mexico arising out of the
arrest anc imprisonment of William O.
Jenkins, consular agent at Puebla.
Neither viii any of the countries of
central and South America view in a
friendly spirit any invasion of Mexico
by this country as a result of the
present controversy.
This condition has been established
by investigation by authorities in
touch with the diplomatic and govern
mental officials of the Latin-America n
nations.
So one-sided, in fact, is the senti-
ment of the nations of Central and
South America that not one ambassa-
dor or minister from any of those
countries will consent to propose
mediation or arbitration of the present
quarrel, as was the case in our last
near-break with Mexico when Arsen-
tina, Brazil and Chile interceded to
prevent American Intervention in Mex
leo.
The result is an almost universal
conviction in official circles that the
United States has now gone so far
in her demands on Mexico that there
can be no backing down, and that in
evitably the force of circums stances Will
send our troops over the border and
land us in the middle of a Job of sub
1ugatlon and pacification that will
take years to accomplish and will cost
hundreds Of millions of money and
thousands of lives.
Officials who for 20 years have de-
voted their lives to building up oeace-
ful relations between the United
states and the nations of Central and
South America see the whole structure
OF pan-American peace wrecked if the
United States breaks with Meyico
Republics south Of Mexico have been
unable to justify the attitude of this
country toward the Mexican govern
ment. and Intervention in Mexico viii
also mean the divorcing, by this
country, of such good will and conf
dence as has been established in Pan
America.
Latin America has the following
viewpoint on the United States diff
culties with Mexico in recent years:
They believe our going into Vera
Cruz to back up extraordinary de-
mands of an American naval officer

by the governor in his letter to the encouragement:

occasions letter asking him to submit other names

any right in suggesting who the appointees should

do not desire to appoint. am therefore writing
you to render me an opinion as to whether or not
under the constitution and laws of this state am
bound to appoint those people whom he selects or

struction OF section 39S-b," ETC., etc.. etc. I'VE are
without any exact precedent to guide in this mat

course of reasoning and by analogy" There are
three separate and distinct authorities the exercise
OF whose several functions is contemplated by the
statue-namely. in their logical order ~ nomination
by the state superintendent of public instruction
2) appointment by the governor, t3) the tenure sub
ject to the state board of education
IN the OF those officers who are appointed
by the governor by and with the consent of the
senate the concurrent action Of the two authori-
ties must be had before an office may be Permanent

PREVENTION policy.
1t is possible, however, many be-
lieve, that intervention in Mexico
cost quite as many lives as our fright
ing in France, although the financial
burden would be by no means SO
great.
Mexico is a vast country broken and
wild, and the task of subjugating ita
people and policing its territory would
be long, difficult and expensive.
But that would not be the worst
of it, one official said today.
Intervention in Mexico will lose Us

ty-seven feet to the sea-
Tampa has been building big ships, and it has
been building up big business for ships. the

this need will be met by the time the business and

There is doubt Of the good effect known

There is not old master captain on the water

with the formation of merchant shipping

was unjustified;
They believe the friendly invasion
in pursuit of Villa and his bandits
was unwarranted and unwise, but that
having gone in we should have stayed
in until the purpose of the invasion
had been accomplished and the gov
eminent relieved of further possible
embarrassment because of Villa;
They believe the United States pre-
emptory demand for the release of
Jenkins, while he was in the hands of
a Mexican state court, without preee-
dent or justification and a deliberate
affront- They are by no means con-
WINGED that Jenkins was not, as
charged, involved in an attempt to
force the United States to intervene
in Mexico, and that his detention by
Mexican authorities..a least for in
vestigation and trial, is not fully JUS
titled.
Request, Not Demand, Might Have
Been Needed.
They cite that, as consul, he has no
diplomatic immunities, but if the
United States instead of demanding
his release had requested it as a
courtesy it probably would have been
granted. The flat demand, where the
right for the demand is in question,
hurt the Latin pride, and made ac-
quiescence impossible. Jenkins, they
hold, despite his office as consular
agent, is fully amenab1e to Mexican
law, has lived in the country for 90
years. has made his fortune there, and
has claimed Mexico as his home.
There are today no new influences
pressing for Intervention in Mexico.
The affronts of today, the lack of pro-
lection to American property and life,
are no worse than three, four and five
years ago, when the administration
