COMMITTEE WILL EXAMINE
MEXICO WITH OPEN MIND

Washington, Aug. 12.-Mexico is
to be investigated from the time Of
the overthrow of Diaz to the present
date, and every phase of our rela-
tions with the southern republic in
the interim is to be thoroughly stud
led by a subcommittee of the senate
foreign relations committee. But
any preconceived notion that the
committee wishes to see armed in
tervention or that it enters upon it's
task with prejudiced judgment is
erroneous.
This is what senator Albert B.
Fall, of New Mexico, chairman of
the investigating committee, told me
today. Mr.. Fall wants the inquiry
to be of constructive value and
wants to enlighten the American
people on the real difficulties below
the Rio Grande. When the inves-
tigation is finished, recommenda-
tions will be made. If results can
be obtained without the use of force,
that will be advocated. But the spirit
and temper of the members of the
committee is such that they want
to see the lives and property of
American citizens protected and Sc
cured at any cost. This is the car
dinal principle protection of Ameri-
cans abroad-and the investigation
is calculated to have as much effect
in Mexico as in other Latin Ameri-
can countries, such as Columbia,
where tendency to abridge Ameri-
can oil rights has already caused the
senate to postpone action on the
pending treaty.
Palavacini Asks Information.
Indeed, the announcement that the
Republican party in congress has de-
termined upon a thorough investi-
cation of foreign affairs and that
special stress is being placed upon
the Mexican situation has stirred up
much interest through Latin-Americ-
ca. Felix Palavicini, editor of Gel
Universal" the leading newspaper in
Mexico City and of the Republic, and
the only daily that consistently stood
by the United States and the allies
durin gthe war, has telegraphed the
subcommittee of the American sem
ate for information about the policy
of the investigators.

BELGIUM Is PROTESTING
OVER TERMS OF PEACE
(Ry the Associated Prcss. J

The italian delegates to the peace
conference who left Paris almost alb
ruptly when the council of four re-
fused to grant ltaly's fun claims to
Fiume and the Dalmatian coast, have
been invited to resume their place in
the peace conference.
Paris dispatches say it Is believed
the Italians will return to the French
capital, and that the negotiations
over the disputed points will begin
again French and British diplomats
in Rome for several days have been
comforting with Premier Orlando and
Foreign Minister Sonnino.
The invitation of the council of
three. it is understood, has in view
the elimination of the personal ele-
ment in the controversy and the paw
ing of the way for a territorial adjust
ment acceptable TO Italy when the
cOnferees are again together.
In peace conference circles Sunday
was quiet. President Poincare had
the members of the cabinet before him
and discussed with them the prelimi-
nary peace terms A meeting between
the nter-allied and German creden-
tial committees was to have been held
was postponed. President Wilson
spent the day motoring.
In Belgium the dissatisfaction over
the awards to Belgium has resulted in
a petition being presented to King Al
bert, asking him to decline to affix
his signature TO the peace treaty. A
conference Sunday recalled home the
three Belgian delegates for a confer
ence which is to decide whether the
