Welcome, Sir Ed0vaYd!

VlSCoUNT GREY, of Fallodon, the
man who did more than any other
to avert the European war of 1914 and
the greatest authority on fy-fshing in
the world, is coming to the United
States as the Ambassador of His Bri-
tannic Majesty.
Viscount Grey is we'll known to
Americans as one of the foremost
statesmen of the world. 1t may not be
known to Americans that he was the
first sponsor of a league of nations,
before the nations had begun to league
themselves together against other ma
tions. In 1911 Viscount Grey. then Sir
Edward Grey. sponsored the plans for
arbitration treaties put forth by Will
lam Howard Taft, and he urged an
alliance between the United States and
the United Kingdom. But just as in
1914, when he tried to make the Ger
mans be reasonable and peaceful, no
body listened to Grey, so in 1911, when
he tried to make the world reasonable.
none listened to Grey.
Viscount Grey was born fifty-seven
years ago in Northumberland He
studied at Winchester and at Balliol
College, Oxford University, and after
graduation entered politics.

The Week at Home

The cost of living continued during
the last week to be the absorbing
topic for discussion. Among those
whom the problem hits in its prac-
tical aspects by reason of the
emaciated weekly pay envelope the
feeling seemed to be that it was
a great misfortune for so much
energy to be devoted to discussion
and so little to action. A. B. Gar
retson, adviser to the Order of
Railway Conductors, said to the
House Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee: "If you think
the social crust can't be broken
you are mistaken. Inaction is sure
to bring ferment to a head I'm

reasonable pressure of living con-
ditions we are bound to have
trouble" Mr.. Garretson told the

wages. Shopmen were reported re-
turning to work all over the coun-

Mexico City, Sept. 23.-Since the coup that resulted in Zapatas death, rebel leaders are not taking chances with deserters from the government ranks, if a story published by EX- celsior is well founded. Some time ago, the paper says, about 800 mem- bers of the 18th infantry, stationed at Esperanza, Veracruz, joined the forces of Oelso Zepeda, operating in the state of Pueblo. Zepeda has placed his recruits in the front line when ever there was necessity for fighting. Federal forces have been pushing an active campaign against Zepeda and, of the 500 deserters, there now are about 159 left.
