headdress was well suited to his style.
As the prince strobe up and down the
room before the opening Of the session
he was perfect type Of Arab beauty
and dignity. The representation Of his
fine race In the pence conference and
their present effort to establish their
ancient kingdom recall the general
opinion which, believe, Is held among
orientaIists that the Arabs are des-
tined ultimately to play a big part In
the world. have seen them In the
districts around the Suez canal and
the Red sea ind have wondered wheth.
er they would not again become q
great people. Individually. 1t seemed
to me that they were finer than any
other orlentals. As wandering race
they have lacked the cooperation and
cohesion which enable nation to
make headway. 1t WOULD be one Of
the historic romances II out Of the
world war the Arabs emerged rs an
organized people prepared to assume
heavy responsibilities In the near

Carranza's control includes the mair

ritory for a mile on either side the
transportation lines. Gates asserted
This control. he said. was that "of q
body of soldiers who are ready TO shoot

nobody else has any guns"

Gates declared the so-called bandits
are the Country people," who, when the
Carranzistas come in to make raid
take up their guns and become bandits
in the eyes of the government.
In answ ar to an inquiry whether the
United States government now is fully
and fairly advised Of Mexican condi-
hons, Gates answered.:
II am satisfied that President vii
son was betrayed by Carranza, just as
Carranza betrayed the Mexican people
l imagine that President Wilson. like
many other faithful men, will try to
stick to his friends for long time. We
have been running along that diplo-
matte track, that there was no Mexico
but CarranZa, except bandits without
any political purpose. and that Carranza
ought to have our help to suppress the
bandits. There must have been some
private interests being served ia the
background. There always are in all
parties. Under such circumstances, il
is doubtful if the real facts reach as
far as President Wilson"

Archaeologist Thinks President Has Been Deceived
by Secret Interests as to Truth

and practically" and to-day it is an
enemy of its own people, first, anC
American, second" William Gates. of
Baltimore, an archaeologist, told the
house rules committee, today. in its
hearing on the Gould resolution propos-
ing congressional inquiry into Mexican
affairs.
Altho asserting that President Will

to recognize Carranza. Gates declared
in favor Of leaving the solution of the
Mexican problem with the president.
The president, he said, has not been
fully informed of conditions in the
southern republic.
Studied Mexico 20 Years.
Gates said his opinions were based
on a first-hand study of Mexican con-
.ditions for about a year, beginning in
July, 1917, during which time he visited
parts of the country usually not seen
BY a traveller, including the states OF
Yucatan, Vera Cruz, Pueblo, Morales
and Oaxaca. For twenty years, he ex-
planned, he had been building up a
library on Mexican characteristics and
literature, and his trip was TO get more
material and to find out what was 60

FLAT ACTION EITHER

Washington, July 2S.--The special
defense treaty with France, which re
publican senators have declared Presi-
dent Wilson is Withholding from the
senate in violation of its own terms,
probably will be submitted for ratifica
ton within few days.
To a group of democratic senator's
with whom he talked at the capitol, to-
day, the president indicated that the
treaty, which promises American aid to
France in case of an unprovoked attack
from Germany, will be laid before the
senate before Mr.. Wilson begins his
country wide speaking tour. 1t was said
he probably will not present it in person,
but will send with it a written message,
urging its ratification. The development
followed a renewal of senate criticism
of the presidents delay and headed off
a plan discussed among republican leaders
to drop consideration of the treaty of
Versailles until the French treaty had
been submitted.
Republicans Plan Battle.

leaders had reached no final decision,
