REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS

again alarmingly last week and the
amateur and unofficial prophets freely
predicted that we would be at war
with our southern neighbor within q
short time. Once more American
troops have crossed the border, with
out asking permission Of Carranza, for
the purpose Of capturing Mexicans
who have committed outrages against
American citizens and for whose &C
tons the whiskered one says he can
not be held responsible.
The capture and holding for ransom
Of the two army aviators who had lost
their way was the act of a small band
of bandits, but the administration at
Washington shows a growing inclina-
ton to step across the border and
"clean things up" II the federal govern
ment Of Mexico cannot do the job. II
appears that a stern warning was is
sued some time ago to Carranza. to
which he replied ut length, stating that
his government would do and was do
ing all In its power to protect the lives
and property Of foreigners In Mexico.
In this case of the captured aviatorsE
who were released IN payment of part
of the ransom-federal troops were
sent after the offenders. The Ameri-
can punitive expedition consisted Of
part of the Eighth cavalry, aided by
some army flyers. They caught two
bandits and killed four others who
opened fire on them when surrounded.
Under instructions from his govern
ment, Ambassador Bonillas entered
protest against the ~'fnvasion" and de-
manded the immediate withdrawal Of
the troops. The reply. drafted by Pres
ident Wilson. was q fiat refusal to
comply with the demand. The
press of Mexico City was aroused to
loud protest. One or two of the pa
pers there, however. realize the seri-

against foreigners and admit that un-
less Carranza radically changes his

Of the Mexicans. The demand is gen
eral that our government give to
American citizens everywhere the full
protection to which they are entitled.
and there Is q feeling that unless 1t
does so u membership In the
League Of Nations would be farcical.
Which brings rs to the second great
event of the week. the unprecedented
meeting Of the senate committee on
foreign relations with President Wilson
in the White House for the elucida-
ton Of many points In connection
with the peace treaty and league
covenant. In accordance with the
desires of both parties, the entire
proceedings were given full publicity.
but a study of them and of the subse-
Quent comments of the participants

statement to the senators and then an

interpretations and reservations might
be summarized thus: II ordinary com

Windfall Mine

All persons are warned against 60
ing upon the premises Of the Wind
fall Mine. The stealing Of material
from said mine must cease. The last
thieves took a large Stillsen, track
jack, betting; broke open the black
smith shop, store house and bullion

No one has authority to give per-
mission to any one to 60 on this prop
erty, and the keeper has been so ad-
vised, with instructions to stop the
stealing If possible.
The party who went there to and
did carry away supplies in an auto

favor by returning the material as
they are known.

those at 2, 6, and 10 Minetta Street

erected. Minetta Place, it is officially
called, but the police term it "the
Alley" 1t is a recognized highway
as far as it goes and the City Of New
York sees to il that street lamp is
maintained at the angle in the place.
The placing of the lamp in the alley
was for a good reason.
The police Of the old days when the
Mnettas were part of the Tcnderloin

called to the alley to stop drunken
brawls. In the olden days night life

The Minettas, the pest-hole of New
York, scorned and avoided by homeseek-
ers, the refuge Of people who shun the
sunlight, hell-hole which bears an
unsavory record in the files Of the Police
Department, are on the road back to the
high position which these little streets
enjoyed in the days long ago, when they
held the homes of New iork's finest
families. The Minettas are to be the
Latin Quarter" of New York.
Out Of the path Of the turbulent city
these streets, about a block long, be-
ginning nowhere and ending nowhere,
are we'll suited to the purpose for which
they are now to be put-the homes OF
artists, sculptors and writers.
Eight Of the worst houses in the
Minettas, ramshackle, vacant for years,
with windows and doors gone, have been
purchased and are to be made over into
comfortable homes for the use of pro-
fessional men. One old house, that at
8 Minetta Street, is to be made over into
a theater, which will be known as the
Thimble and will be operated by Harry
Kemp, the village poet, who will make
his home and write his plays in the gar
ret Of the house.

Internal Revenue
Department Not Fair?

eve desire to inform you that
there seems to be a well defined
effort on the part Of the Internal
Revenue department of the gov
ernment having in charge the ad-
ministration OF the Federal income
tax law to drastically reduce in
some cities the percentage allowed
to cover depreciation of business
structures. The department seems
determined 10 rule, in a probably
increasing number Of instances. that
one per cent rate Of depreciation
on steel frame iireproof structures
is all that will be allowed on
deductible item on income tax re-
turns. and in this ruling to over
ride the findings of the depart
ment's local examiners.
"Your taxation committee feels
that this course OF action is with
out any scientific basis, and prob
ably taken for the purpose Of i'm
mediately increasing the revenue
OF the Federal government under
the income tax law. II it were not
for the fact that We probably have
the Federal income tax law with US
to stay, such ruling might prove
defensible solely on the basis Of
added revenue; but even this de-
fense is removed when the prob
abilities are taken into account,
and the fact that our war with Ger

plans changes for the Washington
building, at the lower end of Broad
way, which will mean practically n
new building. Only the skeleton OF
the present building is TO remain. The
structure, which has stood at Battery
Place and Broadway for thirty seven
years, is to be torn and hacked away.
The great waste Of space caused by
the structural details of the building
can be salvaged only by the ruthless
sacrifice Of practically everything but
the foundations and the steel frame.
The dark-red face, the turreted win
dows and the beacon-like cupola, which
undoubtedly are clear in the memory
of many naturalized citizens scattered
about the country-the building has
stood since 1882 directly in the path
Of the flow Of migration from the
Barge Office landing north into the
city and America-are coming down
and a straight front of classical lines
will be erected facing Battery Park.
Completes Blocks Development
When the building is completed,
which will be some time next year, it
may be said that the block from Bat
terry Place to Morris Street and from
Broadway to Greenwich Street will be
as intensely developed as the law and
building science will permit. On the
Morris Street end of the block. on the
site Of the old Stevens House and the
home for many years Of British consuls
in this city, the great Cunard Steam
ship Company. under the name Of q
holding company, is having built a
twenty-five story building that will be
finished shortly after the completion
