Cabinet Considers Situation

WASHINGTON, Nov 25.-The new
flare up over the Mexican problem
growing out of the Jenkins case, was
given serious consideration today at a
meeting of the presidents cabinet.
There was no intimation as to what
this government might do in event
President Carranza refused to answer
the note from the state department
demanding immediate release of Will
liam o. Jenkins, consular agent at
Puebla, held on a charge of conniv-
ing with bandits who kidnapped and
held him for a s150.000 ransom.
No attempt was made to conceal
the feeling that the situation Was eeri-
Gus and that relations between the
United States and Mexico were
strained Officials said the three de-
statement of his capture, and the
ready to meet any eventuality and deal
with any situation resulting out of
a more defiant attitude by the -ar-
rama government toward the United
States
In absences from advices from the
embassy at Mexico City, officials were
not inclined to put much faith in re-
ports coming by way Of Laredo, Tex,
mentarily expected" There was nc
word to the department from the Mex
can embassy here and while nobody
seemed to know what the next day
might bring forth, officials said they
would not be surprised to hear that
jenkins actually had been released.
No Cause For Arrest
Meanwhile the government has
checked up on the official and private
record of Jenkins and has given him
a high class rating. Officials de-
clared there was no foundation for
the charge that he had conspired with
the bandits. and that information from
every available source showed that his
statement of his captpre, and the
methods employed by the bandits, was
correct in all details.
The latest report from the American
embassy showed that Jenkins was still
in the penitentiary and i'll, and thai
bail had been refused him.
In looking into the various features
of the consular agents predicament
officials pointed out today that under
the Mexican constitution state court.
had no jurisdiction over cases involv.
ing diplomatic or consular officers
such jurisdiction being lodged specif-
ically in the federal court 1t was con.
tended that the federal cour of Mexico
could settle the question with on,
stroke of the pen, simply by assumins
jurisdiction, as is its right.

Japanese, Barring
 BOlshevists, Also
 Bar Well-Wishers

Tokio, Sept. Correspondence of The Associated Press) .-Referring to the sensitiveness of the Japanese au- thorities about the movement of sus- picious foreigners" who arrive in this country, the Jiji says that no doubt the authorities are wisely care ful to prevent the influx of such dan gerous ideas as bolshevism and social ism, but the result is that foreigners who are very favorably inclined to- ward Japan are not infrequently sub- Jected to a system of vexatious spy- ing or shadowing.
 The JiJi relates that recently an American whose name is we'll known m business and economic circles in America, while on his way from Na- gasaki to Tokio, is said to have been subjected to examination at the hands of half a dozen different detectives. The American who is friend of Baron Shibusawa, in the course of an interview with him, drew his atten- tion to what had occurred during his journey and said that such an expe- rience, if suffered by other foreign CTS, IS likely to send them away with
 a very unfavorable impression of Ja- | pan.
 The Jiji also refers to the case of Dr. Frederick Starr, professor at the
 Chicago university, who is we'll
 known among the Japanese by the
 name of "Ofuda Hakase" or Charm
 Doctor, owing to the great interest
 evinced by him in the collection of
 charms from the Japanese temples. The American professor recently ar-
 rived in Japan. As soon as Dr. Starr
 landed at Yokohama the local police authorities instructed a police off
 cer to follow him to Tokio. Later,
 when Dr. Starr left for a trip to
 Mount Fuji, the police authorities
 supplied, unasked police escort to
 the American visitor and the officer
 accompanied him all the way to the
 top of the mountain. Dr. Starr is at
 present staying at Kozu and his resi-
 dence, says the newspaper is un-
 necessarily closely watched by the
 lynx-eyed police.
 ] The Jiji adds: "It is the height of absurdity that the Japanese authori- ties should evince suspicion about the
 movements of such men and detail de- tectives to keep watch over them"

Says Shortage of
 Cars Only Natural

San Antonio, Tex, Oct. 14.-The present shortage of freight cars is caused more by heavy fall traffic natural to this season of the year, rather than to any fault of operation on the part of the United States rail- way administration, w. T. Tyler, as- sistant general director, declared here tonight. Shops are everywhere rush. ing repair of bad order cars, he said, to further the situation. Immediate relief is not in sight, however, he ad- mitted. In company with Special Agent Whiteside, Mir. Tyler left for Ranger and other North Texas oil fields to inspect freight conditions. During Monday morning they at- tended a conference at Austin with officials of the state railroad commis- sion and shippers of Texas.

Emigration Causes
 Two Big Divisions
 of German Opinion

Berlin, Sept. 15.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press. .)-The moot question of emigration forms a puzzling problem in Germany, all the more so because of the huge tax ation that is planned.
 The empire is divided into two un- equal camps-those who favor the emigration of between 15 and 20 million Germans because they feel that Germany can only recuperate if it has smaller population to nourish and support, and the vastly larger group that feels emigration must not be allowed because the forces are needed here to take part in rebuilding and in paying taxes.
 Financial experts estimate that a man represents to Germany capi- tai of 20 times his annual earnings. As the average German workman now earns 2,000 marks, his capital would be 10000 marks. If 20,- GOO emigrate each year as has been suggested, then the Fatherland is eight millions poorer each year, say the experts, and that much intrinsic capital is permanently lost. As the workman is the highest economic property Germany still possesses, emigration is life and death ques- tion for Germany.
 Judge Bamberger of Aschersleben one of the many who have been dis cussing the emigration problem re- gently, declares that the new emi- { grafton bureau of the government must restrain each would-be emi- grant at least six months, not only so that his case may be investigated but that he may have a chance to change his mind.

So it will help in the United States if we ratify the treaty. When that is done, the law of supply and de- mand will not suddenly adjust itself. nor will bolshevik tendencies sudden ly become deadened. However, the treaty ratification will leave the way open for the abatement of these evils.
 Treaty ratification won't bring in- dustrial peace overnight, but it will remove the obstacles in the way of those who are endeavoring to bring industrial peace. Without the removal of the artificial state of war, the
 natural laws cannot take their course.

Britain Must Have Strict Regulation
 or No Liquor Sale

London, Sept. 16.-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press.) - Britain must choose between strict government control of the liquor traffic or absolute prohibition, in the opinion of Lord D'Abernon, chairman of the Liquor Control Board.
 If the question is considered broadly there are only two policies, control or prohibition" said Lord tD'Abernon "Reversion to the old pre-war conditions would mean drunkenness, inefficiency, ill health disease and the misery which has toriously resulted from drunken hab- it's in the past.
 T believe that control is possible, The experience of the war shows that temperance and efficiency can be obtained by regulation. l be- lieve the liquor trade is susceptible to reform. Recent declarations by leaders in the trade, appear to me to to warrant the belief that the new school in the brewing trade is gain ing hearing, and that they have realized that the old methods of the anti-reform whole-hog indulgence advocates are no longer suitable to modern conditions. The same change is in evidence among licensed victuallers. get many letters from them urging that there be nc return to the old hours, during which their work lasted IT hours instead o1 six daily and when the conditions fol public house servants were a scan- Idal.
 There can be no doubt that the position of licensees is enormously better than before the war. They work shorter hours, they have not
 the same difficulty with drunken ness and they certainly do not make less money.

 Condition is Poor

Washington, Oct. 14.-Walker D. Hines, director general of railroads, in statement denies the statement of J. M. Herbert, president of the Southwestern Railroad of Texas that portions of that company's roads in Texas have reached a point through failure and neglect of maintenance by the railroad administration to be unsafe for normal operation.
 Director Hines states a careful in- spection of the railroad has been made and it has been found that no such condition as charged by Mir. Herbert existed. MT. Hines states the prop. erty has been kept in safe condition

OFFICIALLY AND UNOFFI-
 CIALLY.

Officially France is back on a peace-time basis. It has been so pro- claimed. Unofficially the people of France are more wrought up than at any time since the days of the Third empire. In theory all IS we'll. In fact all is in chaos. In much the same way is the United States af- fected. Every other nation that was in the war is in the same shape.
 The official ending of a state of war doesn't mean anything unless it has a bearing on those things which are not governed by acts of leg islators. France in fact is not on q peace basis. But the proclamation that France is on such basis will help put her there, if every act and deed is reckoned on the new status

ENGLISH LEADERS BEGIN CAMPAIGN IN
 BEHALF OF LEAGUE
Civilization Cannot Longer Af- ford to Squander Time,
 Declares Premier.

London, Oct. 14.-A nationwide campaign in favor of the league of nations opened today under the presl,, dency of Sir Horace B. Marshall, lord mayor of London, at the Mansion House. For the occasion the League of Nations Union called together many of the leading British states men, including Herbert s. Asquith, Lord Robert Cecil, John R. Clynes, former food controller; Earl Curzon of Kedleston, president of the coun- cil; Andrew Bonar Law, lord prlvy seal, and Sir Donald Mclean, na- tional liberal member of parliament.
 In addition, all the foreign ambas- sadors and diplomats and men prom inent in various walks of civil life churchmen, laborites, industrialists, scientists and lawyers-were present. Premier Venizelos of Greece, MT: Asquith, Sir John Clynes and Lord Robert Cecil, were among the prin- cipal speakers.
 Premier Lloyd George sent mes- sage to the meeting saying:
 "Civilization cannot longer afford to squander it's time and treasure on the destruction of it's own handiwork. The allied governments are pledged to the leagues noble ideals. l appeal to my fellow countrymen to support international order and good will" King George sent the following let ter to Lord Robert Cecil:
 "We have won the war. That is a great achievement; but it is not enough. We fought to gain lasting ic dy1ty n take every measure to secure it." "For that nothing is more essential than a strong and enduring league of nations. Every day makes this ! clearer. The covenant of Paris is a good foundation. The nature and ! strength of the structure to build : upon this must depend on the earnest ness and sincerity of popular sup port.
 Millions of British men and wom- en, poignantly conscious of the ruin and suffering caused by the brutal , havoc of war, stand ready to help if
 only they are shown the way. In the knowledge of what already has i been done, appreciation of the diff ! culties which lie before us and a de- 1 termination to overcome them-these
 we must spare no efforts to secure. {, "I commend this cause to all cit. izens of the empire, so that with the help of all other men of good will, g
 buttress and sure defense of peace 1 to the glory of God and the lasting
 fame of our age and our country may
 be established" The kings message was greeted with cheering.
 Mir A su,,ith doc1arod that tho m il,
 itary and naval armaments of nation:
 were being continued out of all pro
 portion to the actual requirement! 1 for the preservation of order, ant : said he hoped the members of tn, i league would fulfill their pledges un
 der the covenant purely as a duty.

THE SOUTH'S TWO REUNIONS.

Last week Atlanta was hostess to the Confederate veterans, who so valiantly defended the cause of the South in the sos.
 Next week the delegates of the Georgia posts of the American Le- zion, representing the third genera tion fthe Civil war heroes, will be the visitors to the city.
 In these two reunions-the first of the gray clad, white haired old men who were the backbone of the South 60 years ago; the latter of the recently khaki clad, stalwart young men, who during the past few tu- multuous years were the bone and sinew of the South and of America the Constitution sees lesson.
 From Appomattox to Chateau Thierry they present themselves as the builders of the new South-the men who, "footsore and weary" "beat their swords into plowshares" s"-the indomitable souls, who vanquished in war, set themselves whole-heartedly to the stupendous task of resurrect- ing the prostrate and crushed South from the chaos and destruction of war to the pinnacle of prosperity and suc- cess.-Atlanta Constitution.

AMERICANIZATION.

Senator Kenyon went to the Pitts burgh district to investigate condition in the steel mills. When Senator Ken- yon got back to Washington from this trip, he was not thinking of the steel strike. He had seen something else that impressed him more deeply. He had found that more than half of the men in the steel district could not read, write or speak English. Orders, the senator found, had to be posted in several languages. It was inn possible to print notice in the Eng fish language and post it for these men. Few of them could read it.
 Senator Kenyon says he plans immediate measures to encourage Americanization. This is good. But laws will not do as much as will other. laws which will prevent the things that keep them from being good Americans.
 One of the things that stand in the way of Americanization is the for eign language press. It keeps alive interest in the old country. It prevents the men from learning new lan- guage. The news of the day, the comment, the advertisements that tell of the things they want to buy are carried to them in their native ton que. Their foreign language papers are the only ones they read. They are swayed by the opinions of the men who run the foreign language papers. It is fact that they arc absolutely controlled, in some in- stances, by foreign language editor.
 This editor, in nine cases out of ten, is a meddler. Often he is a radical or bolshevist. He comes into 2 a foreign language community ana starts his paper. When he has the foreign element firmly in his grasp he generally is found tied up with this politician or the other and de- livers the foreign language influence, business or sentiment wherever he wants it delivered. If he concluded that there should be a strike at a certain place all he has to do in pros- porous times is to suggest it. The men blindly follow his lead.
 During the war the greatest thing the American government contended with wa sthe German press. For some reason or other these papers never were suppressed. They were put under surveillance and for a time they ceased to exalt Germany and betray America. When the armisticc was signed they went back to their old tricks. They have been at it ever since, building up the German em- pire" in America and sowing the seeds of hatred for England, France and America.
 As an Americanization measure, we believe that the suppression of all papers not printed in the English language would do more than any, thing else. It would force certain step in Americanization on our for eign element whether that element wanted it or not.
