Now that President Wilson and Sen
ator Lodge have got to the letter writing
stage in their differences there ought to
be some chance of their getting together
for frank consideration of their differ
ences to see if there is not some way for
bridging over the trouble. Once the dis
agreeing parties get into frank confer
ence, the trouble is half adjusted The
movement already started ought to be
encouraged carefully.

Mexico and Intervention.

Conditions in Mexico have been so dis
turbed that the stifiening of the embargo
on exports of munitions across the Dor.
der may be regarded as blow to Mexi-
can insurrectos, il it does not operate
also to deprive the Mexican government
of needed military supplies in maintain
ing order. Our embaTgoes on arms in
the past have often hurt one side in
Mexico as much as the other, but the
license system now enforced may not
place a premium upon revolution If there
is careful discrimination used by the
American authorities.
The Carranza governments attitude
regarding foreign titles to Mexican oil
lands has been irritating and, 40 far as
titles secured periur to the constitution
Of 1917 are concerned, has been extreme
in its faulty. Yet strong diplomatic
pressure has thus far prevented anything
like conhseation of foreign properties in
Mexico. Nor is it probable that any
recognized, or recognizable, Mexican gov
eminent will 80 far betray itself as to
ALLEVIATE the whole world by fat repu-
diRtion Of its contracts under the old
laws. When the pinch comes, President
Carranza himself yhesitates Go carry into
effect the new radical theory Of Mexican
jurisprudence that the oil deposits did
not 60 with the land surface under the
original concessions.
The situation however, is more and
more suggestive Of the situation in the

1t makes little difference whether eth.
or side In the great war wanted to end
the struggle in 1917 and didn't. IT seems
more probable, however, that Germany
and her allies wanted to bring the war to
close because by that time the United
States had entered the war and had
thrown her vast financial resources on
the side OF the allies and was sending her
soldiers across as fast as they were avail
able. Count Czernin's statement, pub.

STATUS OF HYDROPLANE

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept. / (by

and is forced to hurry from one store
to another. To obtain a piece of meat
usually takes two hours. To obtain
bread about an hour, eggs two hours,
vegetables one hour and a half, and
canned goods about an hour.
The hOusekeeper's day starts by
placing herself at the back of a long
line of waiting customers. The line
sometimes extends for half a block
guarded by armed carabineers. When
the buyer is permitted to enter the
store she finds inside a scramble for
all sorts of commodities. Guards are
stationed there to prevent any mis-
chief. If she obtains what she wants
she is lucky.
She treads over the streets whole
mornings searching for the things for
lunch and then, in the afternoon must
start on the hunt again for food. If
she is looking for butter she is usu-
ally disappointed for there is little
to be had. She may obtain meat, but
is usually thankful to go away with
a can of American "bully-beef."
1t often happens that her family
must miss meal but that is usually
overlooked. 1t is too evident on
every hand.
Housekeepers sometimes watch a
car of produce unloaded at the rail
road station and follow the motor
trucks to the store where the produce
will be sold. When a carload of eggs
arrived the other day women chung
to the trucks carrying the eggs to
stores while others ran alongside. At
the stores the clerks stood in door
ways and handed out the eggs three
