Reported to Have Escaped
From Rebels Near
, Esperanza.

Washington. May 15.-Carranza's 8
escape from the revolutionary forces
which, attacked his troops near Es-
peranza was reported today by Gen
eral Obregon.
I'm, a message to revolutionary
agents on the border. which was for
warded here. Obregon said: the de-
posed president had succeeded in
breaking through the revolutionary
lines and, accompanied by small
escort, was moving southwark into The
mountains.
The message added that Carranza
was being pursued by the revolution
lists. Recent information however,
indicated that fighting between
rebels and Carranza's protectors had
not been as severe as reported unof-
ficialIy. Apparently the revolution
lists had used tactics calculated to in
f1ict. the least possible loss with the
idea of carrying out Obregon's in
functions against injuring Carranza.
The escape OF the president was re-
garded by government officials here
as complicating the situation, since
with him at large there is set up a
rallying point for Carranza follow
ers. Carranza's chances of escaping
were regarded as slight, however.
largely because of his age and physi-
cal condition, which, it was believed
will make it difficult for him to unE
dergo hard riding and exposure.

Sea Daniels Attacks !a Sims
Charge that NayySDe Depart-
ment Was Unprepared ).

Washington, May 15.-Secretary
Dnniels today attacked Rear Admiral
SIMS charge that the navy depart
ment lacked plans and otherwise was
unprepared for war. The charge was
''uninforned and wanton," he told the
Admiral Badger and other members
Of the general board had proven
such statements unfounded.
MIR. Daniels described in detail the
organization and operation of the
general board to show that for years
before the war the board was en-
Jagged in preparing and revising plans
for naval battle in the Atlantic. Ad-
miral Dewey had studied the situa-
war and in March, 1915, had for
warded a statement of preparation
necessary to put the department in
readiness for war, Mr.. Daniels said,
which was Immediately approved by
him. The navy department followed
the Dewey outline as far as con-
gress' appropriations would permit"
Mr.. Daniels declared.
Navy Fell Back.
Declaring that several witnesses
having no first hand knowledge OF
had attempted to show by. going
back as far as 1913, that the navy
before the war failed in preparation
because the secretary and congress
did not follow their advice in 1919
and 1914" Mr.. Daniels reviewed al
length his administration and recon
mendations to congress from 1913 on
Incidentally, he told the committee
that when he assumed his post he
found the navy under President Taft
had fallen back as the United
States which had advanced to sec.
ond place among naval powers In
1907 dropped back to third in 1911
Between March, 1913. and Sep.
tember, 1915, the navy was increased
in personnel, material and efficiency
more than in any similar peace pc.
riod in our history" said the secre.
tary.
The pre-war attitude Of the United
States toward preparedness wat
shown by President Roosevelts mes
! sage to congress in 1906 declaring
that 1T does not seem to me neces
!. sary that. the navy should-at leas
( in the immediate future-be increas
& ed beyond the present number o.
! units" said Mr. Daniels. President
Roosevelt and President Taft wer.
/, both forced to take the positions the.
did toward naval building by public
opinion, the witness said, adding tha
President Wilson wasssin, advance o.
public opinion when he sponsored
II the building program Of 1915.

To the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: If the Republican party is to
be deemed worthy of confidence it must
pledge itself and the country to new
deal in Mexican affairs. The note
writing habit must be abandoned and
Mexico must be taught that it is not
safe to practice murder and arson with
citizens of the United States as sub
Jects for these crimes
1t has been said that we must win
the confidence Of Mexico by good treat
ment. They have had good treatment
for seven years and we have won
their contempt, as was manifested bv
twice as many murders and evil deeds
Of various sorts as had been the rule
heretofore
If it is necessary to 60 into Mexico
and help its people to set up an orderly
and efficient and responsible govern
ment, we cannot claim the right to
the benefits of the Monroe Doctrine
unless we courageously assume the
corresponding duty of seeing to it that
the varous governments of this henis
phere function properly This duty we
lave shirked. JOHN BROWN

Q the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Our country at large is norni-
nally at least democratic, while our gov
ernment bureaus and departments are
little autocracies, despotically ruled by a
lew who set the Civil Service law at
nought and degrade it to an empty
farce
1t is therefore of vital Importance
to democrat every government insti-
tuition This implies, among other
things, that:
O. Every employee should have a
voice in the administration of the .insti-
tuition he is working for;
90 The employees should elect their
own administrative officers;
81 The administrative officers should
not be entitled to any privileges, but
should also do productive work and obey
the same rules as the rank and file;
- All matters of general interest
including dismissals. or rather transfers
should be decided by the majority, who
will constitute the ultimate court of ap-
peal against any iniquity
