FOR IMMEDIATE
 LOAN TO MEXICO

Worcester, Mass, May N.--An inn mediate loan to Mexico was advocat- ed by Dr. I. J. Cox, Professor of His tory at Northwestern University, at the Clark University conference Mexico and the CarIibea.n" today. Dr. Cox, who was member of the commission of 1918 to study conditions throughout Mexico, said the problem there was one of self-hedp or self-de- struction. "Carranza, he said, ''es- poused a program combining political privilege with social regeneration but his material resources were made qI1ate and his human agents unequal to the strain of official responsibility. Once more twatchful waiting is our policy but it should not be without purpose. Carranza failed for lack Of adequate funds to maintain his army and his public servants. His success sor, once he has fully established him. self, must not be permitted to fail for like reasons. An immediate loan ade- quately safeguarded will insure against such a failure.~
 The ultimate solution of the Mexi- can problem, however, he thought was education, in which Americans should help.
 Francis R. Taylor of Philadelphia, chairman of the recent commission to visit Friends missions in Mexico. found the lack of educational facilities and of popular thrift very serious. He had little faith in the present revolu- ton so far as it promised any inn provement in conditions.
 There is no distinctive ideahsm that any new faction can claim that will justify violent interruption of the attempts now under way to return to normal conditions" he said There were evil elem entS in the Carranza regime. Many inconsistencies, much graft, and some personal characteris- tics were repeatedly urged against him and his administration, but hard ly more than we are accustomed to hear against the organization rule in the cities of Philadelphia and New York"

SAYS COMMITTEE
 EXCEEDED POWER
Daniels Appears to Undergo Cross Exan1ina-
 tion

Washington, May 21 - Secretary Daniels today accused the Senate subcommittee investigating Rear Admiral Sims charges against the navy department conduct of the war with having exceeded it's powers in going outside the original controversy over naval war decorations. The con- mittee, MT. Daniels told Chairman Hale, had given Admiral Sims an op- portunity to make ostenuous presen- tation of his charges when it requir- ed him to produce his letter of crlt1- cism to the departme ent.
 The secretary appeared to undergo cross examination on his direct testi- mony, concluded yesterday. After Chairman Hale, in a preliminary statement had stated that Admiral Sims criticisms were inpersonal and aimed at responsible heads and not at the navy as a whole, MT. Daniels questioned MT. Hale regarding fea- lures of the Sims letter. He chaI- lenged the chairman to show by read ing from the letter that it referred. as MT. Hale had said, to the first few months of the war.

Thousands of Armenian exiles were passing through the city as they were driven to the desert. For months an average of 3O,oo0 at 8 time were on her hands, often half starving.
 AS fresh conveys arrived, the Gov ernment was unwilling that they should be fed or kept alive, and tried to thwart her efforts. At night SOL diers and rufhans prowIed about the girls by hundreds. Five times Miss Cushman's life was threatened, and once she was dragged to the police station at night, but at the price Of one of her buildings purchased her life from the governor.
 When all others had fled she re- ceived and cared for the British prisoners from Kut, who. had been driven across the desert and were dy- ing by scores. During the latter part of the war she was acting as consul for thirteen nationahties, conductlng their correspondence and caring for their prisoners With one hand she administered a fund of over 1,OOo,- 900 for the relief of the prisoners and citizens of these nations while with the other she distributed an almost equal amount in relief for starving Armenians and other Christians.

New equipment required by rail- roads to meet minimum needs is es- timated by the Interstate Commerce Commission at 2,0o0 locomotives and 100000 freight cars, including 10000 refrigerator cars. The commission estimated that equipment already or dered and to cost $125, 100000 rep resented probably less than 25 per cent of that needed
 "It is evident" the commissions statement said, s'that the equipment required properly to meet the trans portation needs of the public can not be secured unless the carriers themselves assume the burden of financing the remaining 75 per cent"
 Since the distribution of the re- volving fund by cooperative action with the railroads has proven inn practicable, the commission said, all location of the 5,000,000 for equipment will be made according to the percentage which the standard return of a company bears to the total standard return of all the rail- roads, In referring to the opposi- tion to this plan by the national as sociaton owners of railroad securi-
