.|T|NERANTS FILL
 MEXICAN CAPITAL:
 SELL EVERYTHING

MEXICO CITY. - Conditions in the republic, which have crowded million persons into Mexico City, or more than 3OO,OOO above its nor nal population, have greatly in- creased the number of itinerant merchants, who set up shop where their whim wills. It is impossible to find a street in the city where some vendor has not set up stall. A person desiring to outfit house can buy almost everything needed without placing foot within a reg ular shop. Let a prospective buyer merely hint that he is in the mar ket for something, and he is inn mediately besieged by a crowd of energetic salesmen who dilate in machine-gun Spanish on the worth of their wares.
 Sunday is the busiest day for these merchants. They foregather principally in the plazas, spread their goods about them and pa tiently wait for customers. Their numbers are augmented by men and women, boys and girls, all of them selling candies, fruits, shoestrings, pottery, tobacco, drinks, bright-col- ored ribbons, shoe, hats. dogs, cats, gophers, and the dozens of varieties of food of which chili is the most
 important component The plaZas present an animated appearance.
 Bands are playing, whistles are
 blowing, newsboys call their editions, a man with wheel of chance be- seeches the creduious to try their
 luck, a boy with a huge basket bal anced on his head offers sweetmeats at five centavos each, and follow ing him comes a seller of ice cream with his frozen dainties tucked away in a container which he juggles per
 ilously on his head, but never loses
 glorious sun which gives no hint of
 breeding problems of existence.
 It is happy life the native leads . on Sunday when with a few cen
 tavos he may fill his stomach with sweets. bask in the warm sunshine and listen to music furnished by d s Mexican band, than which there is nc better in any land.
 A man from the United States who, on a recent Sunday morning took a seat in the plaza. within a
 few minutes had his shoes shined
 his nails manicured, his breakfas, served, his morning newspapers de- !: livered, his measure taken for 8 suit of clothes. and was offered ar ! assortment of. diamonds and opal:
 at bargain. He concluded tha, there may be more modern method, ! of conducting business, but there
 certainly is none more picturesque
 than that employed by the outdoo'
 merchant.

ENGLISH PRESS NOW ASKS
DELAY ON TURK PROBLEM

LONDON, Feb. 2l.-Agitation in ia
vor Of eXpelllng the Turks from Con-
stantinople, which has been a con-
spicuous feature in one section Of the
press during me last few days and
which has had the support of religious
and philanthropic bodies. met coun-
ter blast from another section OF the
London newspaper world today, which
contended the question was one OF such
Importance that Ii could not be settled
on sentimental consideration, but must
be left to the matured deliberation Of
the supreme allied council.
In lengthy argument the Telegraph
asserted that British craftsmanship has
neither the duty nor interest to expel
the sultan from Constantinople, and
expressed the opinion that agitation
to this end was "ill-inspired and ILL
considered"
The Daily News which has always
been staunch champion of the Ar
menians and a supporter of Gladstone S
demand to sweep the Turks out OF
Europe" also calls for consideration Of
the problem in the light of present
circumstances. 1t says the real qUes
ton is the weight TO be attached to
warnings of Moslem unrest as a result
Of the expulsion of the Turks from
their Nspiritual capital,
Under the caption "a Too Success
full Agitation" the Morning Post says:
1.-THE British government by making
hasty announcement throughout India
of the decision in favor of the sultan
has barred revision Of that decision -
The newspaper seeks to show the de-
cision was merely concession to po-
litical agitators in fiindustan, who may
not be temporarily modified by 1t.
The recent campaign in favor of the
expulsion Of the Turks is said by the
Express to be based on 'perfervid
sentiment and the newspaper argues
there is not 4 single advantage to be
obtained in drawing the sultan away
from Constantinople.

Mr.. Spalding, as well as Mr.. CAM, is
former soldier. He has just returned
from 81 months service with the avia-
ton corps in the United States army.
While Mr.. CAM was born in what
was the German portion of Switzerland,
he was from the first strongly pro-
ally when the war opened and became
more so as it progressed. He says
that in the early stages of the conflict
his section of Switzerland, on account
largely of reading German newspapers,
was inclined toward the Teutons, but in
1914 when Germany thought she was
going to win, she put such strong
pressure on Switzerland that the Swiss
rebeled and from then on were almost
all pro-ally.
Mr. GAM served in the Swiss army,
which patrolled the borders during the
entire war, ready to fight either side
that might violate its neutrality.
