Ambassador to Mexico Quot
ed in Letter Given Sena-
tors as Flatly Opposed to
Arms Going Over Border
License Had Been Given
Charge Made That American
Troops Have Crossed Bor-
der, Kidnapped Natives

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1S.-Henry p.
Mexico, "hatly refused to recommend
or sanction the shipment of any mu-
ntions or rifles to Carranza," accord
ing to a letter from R B. Sutton. Of
the American Gun Company, read to-
day to the Senate committee investi-
eating relations between the United
States and Mexico.
Sutton wrote about a conference he
and Senator and Representative had
on October 8 with Secretary Lansing
and Ambassador Fletcher regarding the
shipment of eight hundred guns from
New York to the Carranza government,
q license for which had been issued by
the War Trade Board
After reciting that he had assured
the government officials that Carranza
had arranged to receive the guns at the
border and that there was no danger of
their falling into the hands of bandits,
Sutton wrote:
IL was most ably supported by the
gentlemen accompanying me, and where
Lansing might have permitted the
shipment of 800 guns, Mr.. Fletcher ef-
fectualy stopped the shipment of even
this small lot by ridiculing the ability
of Carranza forces to protect the ship
ment and stating that these guns were
more apt to be used against Americans
than in safeguarding the lives and in
terests of Americans now in Mexico
Mr.. Fletcher's talk certainly killed the
chances Of immediate shipment"
Lansing Is Quoted
The letter quoted Secretary Lansing
as saying the shipment might be ar
ranged for later, but Mr.. Sutton wrote
that in his own opinion the State De-
partment was waiting for instructions
from President Wilson.
II. T. Oliver, president Of the Oil
YER American Trading Company of
Eagle Pass, Tex, also told the commit
tee Mr.. Fletcher had blocked ship
ments Of arms and munitions to Mex
leo: He was the only witness heard
and most of his testimony was given
in executive session.
Another development Of the Mexican
situation was the announcement that
the Mexican Consul at Preside. Tex.
has reported to Ambassador Bonillas
two alleged invasions Of Mexican terri
tory, involving the kidnapping of Mexi-
cans by American soldiers. The consul
in his reports said he had complained
to the proper United States military
authorities, and that the soldiers were
arrested and the Mexcans freed and
their arms, which had been taken by
the soldiers. restored to them.

ency of the New York mail service is

Beware of New Germany,
Warns u. S. Peace Expert
Not Impoverished and Still
Plans Mitteleuropa, Says
Law {. Lessler

Jay J. Lessler, who served in the
American section of the Permanent
international Armistice Commission,
warned members Of the New York
University chapter Of Sigma Lambda
ri fraternity last night at a meeting
at the Hotel McAlpin not to take any
stock in stories about Impoverished
Germany"
There is no such thing" he said.
German propaganda is more insidious
than ever before. Through their rep
resentatives on the armistice com
mission, they evaded every issue that
arose by means Of sly, sneaky and
treacherous methods.
my message to you Is to beware Of
the slippery tentacles of the Mittel-
europa octopus. for Germany never
has given up hope of establishing its
fantasy of world domination"

The hardest Job in the world is

Few people make . million dollars.
But fewer know what to with it
Benevolence IL a most commend.

"I pity the man who has 50 much

And it's as hard to give wisdom
as 1t Is to give money.
When you have arnassed . great
store of sense. for which you have
paid e1travagantly BY experience. and
suddenly awaken to realize that 1t is
not worth much-to anybody but you.
Most experience comes to us in
packages marked non n-transferrable."
So when you give sympathy. the
of being strengthened. begins to pity
himself and is weakened.
To give love sometimes feeds ego
tism and creates tyranny.
To give advice gets you the repu-
tation of being a bore.
To give patronage arouses resent
ment.
To give privileges stimulates cupid
ity.
To give may be moro blessed than
to receive: it certainly Is moro COM

I sometimes doubt that the whole
