The Mexican Probe.

THE personnel of the subcommittee Of the senate, ap-
pointed to make an investigation Of conditions IN
Mexico with reference to American interests IS such that

And for senator Brandegee he knows any less about
Mexico than senators Fall and Smith, he VIII devote
himself assiduously to overcoming the handicap
Senator Fall in reply to telegram OF inquiry from
FL Universal Mexico refused to make any forecast as
to the the investigation would take OF what It's
probable outcome would be- but he gave that
the inquiry would be thorough and impartial well

past with reference Mexico than has M Fa but the
Arizona senator is believed to have leanngs IN the same

An incident Just preceding the naming Of this subco

when acting secretary Polk of the state department, ap
peared recently before the foreign affairs committee Of
the house. the question Of armed Intervention in Mexico
was discussed
According to members of the committee MI Polk
pressed the opinion that armed intervention would be the
only alternative continued support Of the Caranza gov
eminent The secretary admitted that the state depart
had been unable to procure protection of Americans
in Mexico by Carranza but he said that If recognition OF
Carranza government should be withdrawn, the United
States would have to intervene to afford protection for
Americans.
Then M Polk put the question squarely up to the
Republican majority whether its members desired the
sponsby Of forcing Intervention He is quoted having
said land this is significant tool that investigation
covering the whole mess IN Mexico might have the result
Of forcing Intervention
The house COMMITTEES thereupon dropped the matter and
suppressed Mr. Folks testimony the story goes. The

up the job under resolution offered BY senator King

NO PEACE PLAN.
STEEL STRIKE.
Is CONSIDERED.
Secretary Says Steel and Iron
Workers Are Preparing for
Long Struggle and for Ex-
tension to Other Unions.

Pittsburg, Sept. 24.-Interest in the
nationwide steel strike which has
been in progress since last Monday
centered today in the meeting here Of
the national committee for organizing
iron and steel workers. Those in close
touch with the strike are of the opin-
ion that the session, called by William
z. Foster, secretary treasurer of the
committee, will bring out important
facts relating to the walk out of the
thousands of workers who needed the
call of their leaders.
Mr.. Foster declares the committee
will not consider peace plans" but
will discuss the advisability of ex-
tending the strike to include seamen
on Great Lake carrier vessels and
union trainmen,( The question of fl
nancing the strike will come up, and
Mr.. Foster says he will bring to the
attention Of the committee the "un-
provoked assaults by state troops on
strikers. According to the secretary
the union is preparing for long
struggle, and he declares the workers
will flight to the bitter end
The strike situation in the Pittsburg
district remains practically unchanged
with employers and union leaders is
suing conflicting statements as TO the
number of men involved in the walk
out. The union men declare that thou
sands of workers are joining the ranks
of the strikers daily and that scores
of mills have been crippled. Employ
ers say they are pleased with present
conditions which, it is announced by "a
representative of the Carnegie Steel
Company, are improving and encour-
aging. Despite the conflicting state
ments from the contending parties it
is known that many mills in the dis
trfct are shut down entirely, some are
working with short forces while others
are operating at almost 100 per cent.
Union activity in the district today
was marked for plants, this action be-
ing taken on instructions from the
strike committee. Meetings of Strik-
ers throughout the district will be held
during the day, according to informa-
tion from Secretary Foster. Disorders
Pittsburg district yesterday and last
night. The most serious outbreaks oc-
CURED at Farrell, Pa, where two men
were killed during a clash between
strikers and their sympathizers and
state troopers. In the disorders of
Monday and Tuesday at Farrell New
Castle and other points, four persons
have been killed, more than a score
shot, many others have been slightly
wounded and hundreds of arrests have
been made.

President Wilson Tells Crowds
at Cheyenne Adoption of Pro-
posed Reservations Would
Equal Rejection of Pact.

Cheyenne. wyoming. Sept 25.-
Characterizing the peace treaty as a
complete reversal of the old autocratic
processes of governments, President
Wilson appealed to the people in an
address here today to support the
league of nations as a consummation
in the fight for democracy.
Reading the proposed senate reser-
vation to article ten of the league
covenant the president declared that
if such n reservation is adopted he as
chief executive will "be obliged to re-
gard it as a rejection of the treaty"
Rejection of the treaty he said would
mean negotiation of separate peace
with Germany and he asserted such
negotiations could not change a single
item of the peace settlement. He said
the question of whether the heart of
the league covenant will be cut out
will soon come to a show down.
The presidents train entered the
state shortly after 1 o'clock this morn
ing. Upon his arrival the president
escorted by the famous "Black Horse
troop of the Fifteenth cavalry. now
stationed at Fort d. A. Russell, will
go Immediately to a theatre and de-
enne at p. m. for Denver where he
will speak Thursday morning. Later
the president will visit Fort D. A.
Russell.

Won der GOltz Refuses to Obey
Peace Conference Order to
Evacuate Russian Baltic
Provinces.

$
Paris, Sept. 24.-The attempt by the
Bolsheviki to negotiate peace with
Estonia and Letvia, and indications
that the Poles and the forces OF
General Denikins, the anti-Bolsheviki
leader in South Russia soon may es-
tablish communication and co-ordi-
nate their efforts in fighting the Boil
sheviki in the Ukraine, have revived
interest in the Russian situation
among the peace conference delegates.
The refusal of the German general
the peace conference that he evacuate
the Baltic provinces of Russia and
Germany's declaration that she can
not be responsible for his movements,
leaves the conference for the moment
in a helpless position, and there is no
disposition to ask the Poles, who are
already engaged, to expel Won der Goltz
and no other nation has forces avail
able.
The Poles already are so busy with
the Bolsheviki and so unsettled at
home that the great powers appar-
emily are unwilling to. impose more
military burdens on them.
American officers recently returned
from Levia express the belief that Won
der GoItz soon will retire.
Reports received from Kolchak by
the Russian committee in Paris give
hope that the anti Bolsheviki leader
in the Omslx region has greatly i'm
proved his position on both lines of
the Siberian railway, and that
his armies again are well organized
and moving westward against the Boil
sheviki.
Reports from the Denilxin forces
also are favorable. 6
While no reports of Nikolai Lenine
the Bolsheviki premier, to negotiate
a peace with Esthonia, Letvia and
Lithuania apparently have failed be-
cause Lenine insisted that all three
states should join in the negotiations,
it is expected he will renew his efforts.
Stockholm, Sept. 24.-Leon Trotzky.
minister of war and marine, speaking
at Petrograd recently, gave a detailed
program Of .Bolshevil1i military oper-
ations, saying among other things:
TT is not in Finland or Esthoriia that
the immense world combat against
capitalism can be fought, but in
America and England, and above all,
in the Far East.
The Bolsheviki armies, Trotzky con-
tinued, would continue their previous
methods of disposing of their enc
mics singly. General Denekins turn
would come after Odmiral Kolchak
had been beaten, he declared The
turn of the Poles would follow, and
after them the Rumanians would be
dealt with.
I'VE have proposed peace to all
the Baltic states, which are insignifi-
can't" Trotzky said. AT the same time
we cannot tolerate for Intervention in
Russia, in. which one Red soldier will
cross the frontier. But If Finland
wishes war 1T will be necessary to be-
gin against her campaign Of ex-
termination such as hitherto has been

Warns Phosphate Miners Not
to Interfere With Operation
of Trains.

Tampa, Sept. 24.-Every train en-
in Hillsboro and Polk counties, be-
ginning tomorrow, will be guarded by
armed federal marshals until strike
conditions become normal, District
Attorney Phillips announced tonight.
Phillips said the department of justice
authorized the guards, and added it
would send regular soldiers, if neceS-
sary, to keep trains on schedules. Train
crews for ten days have refused to
operate trains from the mining re-
gion on account of anonymous threats
of death and because several trains
have been fired on from ambush. Fed

to interfere in any way with the
operations of the mines. are being
served.
