I'VE want TO learn the truth about
Mexico and our citizens there. Our
Intention Is t" rip things open, let the
sunlight in. And Indications are that
some very unpleasant things are going

government and for private interests
operating there, IF it is true that
American citizens are being deprived
of their rights, their property confis-
Gated and their persons outraged by
responsible or irresponsible nuthori-
ties in Mexico we want to know it.
ON the other hand. if American inter
estS or any other interests are foster

that also"
The Mexican committees, which in
cludes Mayor ole Hanson, Seattle;
Judge Ben Lindsey, Denver: John Bns-
set Moore, Alton Il. Parker, Frank =.
Walsh, and others, will begin the hear
ingS next week in New York. 1t is
planned that one member will devote
several hours Zach day to herring
testimony.
The clock is about to strike in
Mexico" Prrntiss declared. I'VE have
learned from absolutely reliable
sources that large amounts of ammll-
milton, arms and war materials are
being imported from the East and
West; also that shipments are cross
ing the border despite the embargo.
The lull of the last four years has
been due entirely to the inability Of
the rival factions to secure uns and
munitions. With all the nations in The
world OvprStocked with fighting i'm
plements, the Mexican outlet will not
be overlooked. Consequently the fire
works are scheduled to begin soon"
The committee, selected with the
greatest care from persons in whom
both the United States and Mexico
have confidence, will make their
findings known to the foreign rela-
tions committee of Congress and to
members of the House and senate.
The state Department will also he

given. 1--WE are not trying to en-
barrasS the administration in any
way" Prentiss stated. 1--WE hope to
develop the facts, to work in harmony
and cooperation with and to estah-
fish friendly relations with Mexico.
No member Of the committee, SO far
as We know, has n single dollar in
vested in Mexico or represents in my
way any concern that has financial in
there. They are acting simply
as patriotic American citizens.

London, March S.-All the import

hands of government troops and a
good prospect of maintaining order
was assured, according to a German
government wireless message received
here. The number of dead and wound
ed in the recent fighting exceeds 400,
the message says
Berlin.-GOvernment troops began
an attack from all sides of the center
of the city and made brilliant prog
ress. The attack was for the purpose
of relieving police headquarters. A
column from the west progressed to
within a block of police headquarters
in two hours. 1t is believed that the
column succeeded in relieving the be-
sieged garrison at police headquarters,
although military headquarters had
not yet received any information on
that point. Between 200 and 300 per-
sons were killed or wounded. The cas-
ualties were largely among spectators.
The spectators, despite all warning,
persisted in staying to see the fight
ing. The casualties among the gov
eminent troops were comparatively
light. There was very little organ
lied, coherent opposition by the Re-
publican guards and Spartacan ma
rines. They were caught by surprise
without efficient leadership and were
unable to check the attack of the we'll
disciplined government forces.
The government has decided to dis
the Republican guard and the
peoples Marine Guard" Strong
of government troops, including
a loyal marine division, and artillery
and mine throwers now are marching
through Inter Den Linden to take up
positions. The government took this
step because of the impOssibility Of
distinguishing between those who are
loyal and those who are not and also
because OF the general unreliability Of
the organizations. The two forces
number 10000 e in Berlin. A part
