Bv Carranza from
Banks, Is Charge
Alleged Financial Methods
OF Mexican President
Are Barred in Suit Here
Against Financial Agent

An insight into the alleged financial
methods of President Carranza, Of
Mexico, and his government was given
yesterday in the Supreme Court, where
it was charged that by the most arb-
trary means, which included imprison-
ment and the threat of firing squad,
the Mexican chief executive, got $50
100000 from banks in his country.
The proceeding was before Justice
Tierney on application by William B.
MITCHELL formerly general manager of
the Bank of London and Mexico in
Mexico City, for an injunction restrain
ing Alfredo Caturegli, financial agent
here for Carranza, from suing the Bank
of Montreal for $4,000, on deposit
there. Saul E. Rogers, attorney for
Mr. Mitchell, told the court that the
$4,000 which Carranza discovered he
had deposited, was wanted for a spree

friends

Jerome S Hess. attorney for Senior
Caturegli, argued that any injunction
by the courts Of this country would
be an infringement on the sovereignty

Mitchell's interest in the $4,000 is
that he is creditor of Mexico to the
extent of about S3S, 900

Flight of the "R-34."

When the R-34 ties up at Minneola, Long
Island, and this ought to be within very few
hours now, another phase of voyaging by air
across the Atlantic will have been entered upon
The American seaplane proved the feasibility
of passage by that means, and the British air
plane showed the nonstop flight to be possible
Now comes the dirigible lighter than-air ma
chine to demonstrate that what has long been
considered theoretically possible is practicable
All that remains now is to arrange the sched
ule, build the ships, and the gadders between
the continents will be ready to provide the
traffic for the modern method of transportation
These spectacular postwar feats hold
peculiar interest for another reason. They mark
the downfall of German dream of air domina-
ton. Not many years ago, when the Yep
pellin was making its flights between German
cities, carrying passengers and attracting much
notice. proposed fight to America was lber-
ally exploited. 1t contemplated crossing by a
southern route, to avoid the anti-cyclone Then
the Germans were reported to have charted the
air with great care, and were said to be pos
sessed of such knowledge of currents, drift and
the like as to have a tremendous advantage
over any rival The zeppelin failed as war
machine, but its adaptability as means OF
transportation has never been questioned Eng
land, however, has stepped in and won the
laurels to which the German promoters aspired.
Fancy must find new realms in which to soar,
for mans daring has eliminated the air above
and the waters below the earth as fields for
imaginative speculation. 1t will require real
genius to provide a new thrill.

French Art of Courtesy

No one can understand this French concep-
ton of art, as no one could understand the
similar Greek conception, without distinguish
ing clearly between art and artihce. The first
comment of the Anglo-Saxon on all art is like
ly to be that it is artificial! his comment upon
the French life itself an art is that it partakes
too much Of the quality Of artfce. The diff
Guilty is that such comment assumes civiliza-
ton natural thing, said Professor Erskine
in a recent lecture to his soldier students in
France. The Frenchman knows better. When
Our mothers sent to childhood parties and
cautioned US to behave naturally they did not
mean what they said; they meant that we should
acquired arts of courtesy as though
they were natural.
In that sense all civilization is not natural
and French life. being the most highly civilized
has most the character of art. But the French
themselves are even more severe than are
in condemning artifce, which to them is not art
but its most preverse enemy. Art for them
must be frank and sincere, quite open control
of means to reach an ineligible ideal. There
is nothing secret about it; its glory is the large
part that reason and calculation frankly play in
it-as any choice between good and evil should
be calculating and reasonable. Artihce on the
other hand is the putting on of disguise, the
assuming of methods which do not harmonic
with the genuine purpose; it is too great en-
phasis upon means and too slight valuation
of the noble end. Art is, as it were, the con-
trast other pole to nature; it is the condition
which is reached when man has given an inter-
probation and direction to the chaos of crude
experience. In between these extremes in
tihce, partaking of the quality of both-half di
rected, half meanngless-New York Post.

Relief in Sight on Bread Prices.

Nebraska milers said to be promising
a reduction in the price of -four, following the
present wheat harvest. This, of course, has
been anticipated. 1t will not be accompanied by
a corresponding drop in the price of wheat to
the farmer, who is guaranteed on the crop of
the current year by the government, but it
means that consumers are to get -four on the
basis of the open market for wheat. In Feb
ruary a Scotch authority placed the Liverpool
price of wheat for August at $l.l0 per bushe
Since that time some argument has been made
that world conditions would save our govern
ment whole against its fixed price to the farmer
but developments scarcely warrant that belief
at this time. 1t is within the range of probabli-
ties that the entire appropriation of more than
a billion dollars will be used This is the first
step down the ladder of war prices, and when it
is taken, others must follow. The promise Of
the Nebraska millers is an assurance that relief
for the public is not to be delayed a great while
longer.

Return of the Immigrants

The Department of Labor of the United
States continues to emphasize the mmnence
Of the departure of 100000 aliens to Europe,
carrying with them savings to the amount of
gerated. Although it is professed that the sta
tistics has been carefully gathered, it can be
merely little better than guessing. Nor is it
likely that all who return to Europe this sum-
mer will remain there. There are many rea-
sons why such as have parents other near
relatives in their native lands should be eager
to visit them, extend them aid, get hrst-hand
story of the war and view the devastation
wrought by the war, but there is little reason
for believing that there will be such an i'm
mense number or that large percentage of
them will stay in Europe.
Europe is not bed of roses nor will it be
. for many years to come. All travellers tell of
armies Of unemployed. paid regularly by the
governments during the period of unemploy-
ment. Practically all the countries are on an
inflated paper-money basis, greatly increasing
the prices Of things, in addition to the effect OF
short supplies. The debts of all the nations will
be staggering, in proportion to their wealth.
Such aliens as have in the past gone to Europe
to visit have been able to cover the cost of their
passage both ways in the saving on living ex-
penses. But they will find matters entirely diff
ferent this summer. Even those who contenl-
plate leaving America for good may soon
change their minds after they discover condi-
timent is driving many persons of European
birth home Thousands came to the United
States to escape intolerabe political conditions
But they found still greater opportunities in
the United States. These opportunities will
not be forgotten when aliens return to their
native lands and face conditions There will
not be as much European rehabilitation as has
been predicted for it will not be necessary to
rebuild for the innumerabe dead. Further
more, many thousands fed from zones occupied
BY the Germans and built elsewhere. The real
peril is from flow toward America-St. Louis

Buying the "Fontenelle Forest"

Several years ago The Bee suggested that
the state acquire the wooded tract just south of
town, known then as "Child's Point" but now
est" Many practical as we'll as sentimental
reasons supported this then, and all are as
strong today. 1t is the largest tract of original
tree growth standing in the state containing
fine specimens of indigenous timber, and for
this alone it ought to be preserved. No other
place in the state provides so efficient bird
sanctuary as this, and the public has long been
educated to the advantages bird-life brings to
an agricultural community.
The movement of the Fontenelle Forest as
ISOLATION to raise the money to purchase this
tract of ground and dedicate it perpetually to
the uses of the birds, and the public under GER
tain restrictions, is along line that is not alto
gether novel, yet is quite uncommon in Omaha.
In commencing the spirit that prompts these
people, and expressing hope that their ven
ture will succeed, The Bee suggests that they
return to the original name of the tract. Cap
tain Child was pioneer, and his memory is
worthy of commemoration at least to the ex-
tent that is involved in retaining it in connec-
ton with his former property. On the other
hand, Fontenelle, however great his claim on
posterity, has been signally and frequently hon
ored in other ways. We have Fontenelle park
a boulevard similarly designated, and many
private ventures keep the great chiefs name
before the public. "Child's Point was land
mark for many years, and may we'll be re-
tanned as such.

tain, however, that all the units of
the American EXpeditionary Force

S. A. S.-Can not tell from your
letter to what unit you have refer
ence. However, as all the forces in
France are being brought home as
soon as possible, it is pretty certain
that the soldier you are interested in
will soon be back in the home land.

Mrs. G. McK-We have no other
information regarding the soldier
you mention than is contained in
the published list to which you
refer. For information concerning
an individual soldier recourse must
be had to the office of the adjutant

BUSINESS CONDITIONS.

The Federal Reserve board comes forward
with another optimistic report on business con-
ditions in the United States. Coupled with it is
carefully worded warning against undue specu-
lation. Prospects for bountiful harvest and
improvement in the labor situation form the
foundation for the encouragement the board
gives the public as to the present and the i'm
mediate future. New York bankers report
frmer situation in the money market, which
tends to support the conclusion that, in spite
of the continued activity on Wall street, the
speculative element is not so prevalent as the
Reserve boards warning might suggest.
Recent inquiry, carried on by an eastern
agency, developed the fact that in none of the
staple lines is the volume of sales equal to what
those reporting considered normal for the sea-
son. This is natural result of the transition
from war to peace. Buyers have waited for the
sterilization process to produce its expected ef-
feet, and sales have been for immediate require
ments only. Little or no future buying is re-
ported anywhere. This condition can not con-
tinue long, for consumption is steady, and GER
tany will increase if threatened advances in
prices are not forced to point that exceeds
ability to pay.
With bank assets of nearly twenty-one bill
lions, with greater food supplies than in 1918
and the new crop coming on, with the labor
market such as to assimate all the returning
soldiers, and industry generally getting back
to its steady swing, business conditions seldom
have been more encouraging in the United
States in midsummer. Faith and courage,
joined with enterprise, should secure for Amer
leans the great opportunity offered by the
worlds situation.
