Mexico City, Oct. 1s.-Mexieo is
anxious to comply with her interna-
tional obligations, Provisional Presi-
dent De la Huerta told the correspond
emit of the Associated Press, and ex-
tends a hearty welcome to all for
eigners.
He declared the Mexican govern
ment had not received from Washing
ton any intimation as to conditions
upon which possible recognition of the
new Mexican regime would be based
by the United States.
The provisional president declared
he favored complete cooperation with
the United States to avoid disturbances
along the international frontier and
asserted a similar policy was being
observed toward Guatemala on the
south.
Anxious for Harmony.
The president declared his belief
that Obregen would carry out his poll
cies, and for this reason could not see
why foreign nations should seek to
impose conditions upon Mexico when
our one desire is to form part Of
the concert of allied nations"
De la Huerta asserted President
Wilson has striven nobly against the
avalanche of interventienists, who,
not satisfied with the profits secured
from our SOIL desire to subjugate our
people"
Praises President Wilson.
ut is unbelievable that the man who
has devoted all his energy to the serv-
ice of humanity and has known how
to respect our struggles for liberty
should Change his policy of justice in
the last few days of his administers
tion.

government and appreciated the I'm
pulse THAT overthrow Victeriano
Huerta will not abandon these prin-
cipies now that peace is a fact in
Mexico and a president has been elect
ed lawfully and democraticaIly."

TO Reflect here
British Coal Strike May Prove
Worldwide Calamity.
High Food Prices Turnout
Europe To Be First Result.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Fhe general
strike of 100000 British coal miners,
unless brought to a quick conclusion,
will prove a worldwide economic
calamity. in the opinion OF officials
here today.
The Industrial and even political
consequences are likely to be far
reaching.
Europes need for coal before the
strike began was so urgent that in
italy manufacturers were glad to pay
from $25 to $40 a ton for American
coal which cost $40 at the docks in
New York. France, Belgium, Holland
and the Scandinavian countries de-
pend In sweat part on England for
coal
With British coal exports emPar-
coed, the factories of Europe will be
forced to close, officials here said
Millions of workers may be thrown
out of employment.
Higher prices for food turnout Eu-
rope probably will be the first result
of the British strike. it was believed
here.
The strike also will have q deter
rent effect on world distribution OF
food and manufactured commodities
thru the coal bunkering factor, it was
pointed out British coal is used to
bunker ships Of all nations in all parts
of the world.

FROM new ANGLE
Senator Harding Now Scores
Wilson for "Waiting."
American Manhood Disgraced
by Slow Entry in War.
FINISHING WHIRLWIND "TRIP
G. O. P. Nominee to st. Louis
Where Party Badly Split.
Declares Military Service in
America Must Be Voluntary.

With Senator Harding En- Route to
st. Louis Oct. 16.-Off on the last leg
Of his present speaking trip, Senator
Harding today faced a heavy day of
rear end speeches thru Indiana and
Illinois on his way to st. Louis, where
he speaks tonight.
Because of the split in the Republic
can organization in Missouri. Harding's
schedule was arranged so he arrives
in st. Louis shortly after z O'clock to-
sight, just in time for his speech. He
leaves Immediately afterward for
Marion.
His appearance in st. Louis is COM
plicated by the fact tht it is the home
of Jacob Babler. the national commit
teeman for Missouri, who figured in
the pre-convention financing of the
presidential boom for Governor Low
den of Illinois The national Repub-
lean committee, since Babler did not
resign, gave over the active manage
ment of the committee in Missouri to
State Chairman Hughes
Harding is now aiming his anti
Wilson bludgeOn in a new direction
and is swinging hand at the failure of
the administration to enter the world
war earlier. He deliberately charged
ip his Indianapolis speech that Amer
lea was kept out of war for political
purposes and for the sake of winning
lives were sacrificed on the battle
fields of France.
Speaking with visible emotion.
Harding charged this was a betrayal
Of American manhood and before he
was thru some women in the audience
were wiping the tears away.
He got into this phase of the attack
after denying the charge made in a
recent speech by William 6. McAdoo
that he favored compulsory military
training. Any peace time system OF
military training in America must be
voluntary, Harding said. The state
ment being used against him now, he
said, was made during the war when
the administration was refusing, he
charged, to permit Theodore Roosevelt
to take volunteers to France.
Il is expected Harding will shortly
discuss the situation in Haiti on the
basis of disclosures recently made by
Gen. George Barnett. until recently
commandant of the marine corps
which was in control of Haiti.

of "a to 0 Score.
The Topeka Highs defeated the At
Gibson Highs Friday by a score of 81
to o, at Atchison. The Topeka team
outweighed The Atchison team some
twenty pounds to the man, and were
forced to make all their gains thru the
line by straight football tactics, be-
cause the field was heavy, and the
heavy men were at distinct disad-
vantage. Not a forward pass was
completed by either team during the
game, and Orr, for Topeka, missed the
only drop kick attempted during the
game.
Topeka won the game in the first
quarter. Brewster went over for the
first touchdown within five minutes of
play. Orr failed to kick goal. Wilson
went thru for the second touchdown,
and Orr kicked the goal. Brewster
again carried the ball for the third
trip across the goal line, and Orr's toe
again added a point to the score. The
quarter ended with the score 20 to 0 In
favor of Topeka.
In the second quarter Wilson went
across with the ball and Orr again
kicked goal Score 81 to 0.
In the third quarter Brewster's turn
for a touchdown came again. and Orr
again kicked goal.
Attempting forward passes in the
fourth quarter proved futile on the
Atchison field, and the quarter was
without scores on either side. Atchi-
son made only one first down, and the
ball was in their territory during the
greater part of the game.

producers struggle announced as aiming
to force wheat up to IS a bushel was, an
energetic one and had an immediate
strengthening effect despite assertions Of
former Wheat Director Barnes that war

Of the past. His position was widely as
sailed on the ground that grain was being
sold below cost Subsequently, wsrd of
serious adverse crop conditions in India
counted as a further hullish Influence, at
this date, the u. S. government report on

prices but was moEe than offset afterward
by action OF President Wilson starting an
