MEXICAN EDITORS
 REFUSE ID PAY TAX

WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.-Editors of Mexico City newspapers have refused to pay a special tax that the district government sought to impose upon them 1t was said in advices reaching Washington today through official channels. The action of the editors followed a conference with the gov ernor which resulted in failure to reach an agreement. In a statement issued by the editors it was declared such en- terprises as theirs were by tradition exempt from taxation.
 Declaring that sthe government is no doubt attempting to restrict the liberty of the independent press" he editors argued hat any tax would force an in crease in the cost of publication which would compel independent papers to go out of existence. The governments $ action. they declared, was a violation of the freedom of the press and free speech guaranteed by the constitution.
 The editors announced after the con- ference that they could reach no other conclusion than that the government intended to kill off the free publica- tions and to start new semi official papers to supplant those wiped out. They made the point that their re- fusal was not rebellion against the government, and announced that they would resort to every legal means to fight the action.

PHILLIPS ID GET
 POST IN HOLLAND
IRepubIican A. p. Leased wireI

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-President Wilson is understood to have decided on the appointment of William Phill- ips, assistant secretary of state, as minister to the Netherlands.
 The nomination of MT. Phillips, who will arrive in New York within a few days after a trip to England made nec- essary by the illness there Of Mrs. Phillips mother, is expected to be sent to the senate soon, together with the nomination of Robert Underwood John son of New York, recently selected as ambassador to Italy.
 Changes in the diplomatic service which have occurred since the ending of the world war, had led to numerous reports that Secretary Phillips would be offered a foreign post, the vacan- cies of minister to China and ambassa- dor to Italy being mentioned.
 The legation at The Hague has been without a minister since last October, when John w. Garrett of Baltimore resigned.
 When the democratic administration came into power in 1913, MT. Phillips, although a republican in politics, was asked to accept the office of third as- sistant secretary of state, owing to ex- perience in diplomatic matters. He was made first assistant secretary when Frank l.. Polk was promoted from that office to counsellor.

FL PASO, Tex, Feb. 12.-The sen- ate foreign relations committee investigating the Mexican situation has been suspended for at least two weeks.

He plans to return to the border in 10 days or two weeks, when the hearings will be resumed either in Arizona or Los Angeles. Senator Marcus A. Smith, who has been as- aociated with Senator Fall in the ses- sions here is expected to remain in the southwest and will probably visit his home in Arizona.
 The session today concluded with the taking of the testimony of Nor man Walker. formerly correspondent or the Associated Press, who, during the last several years, has been a wit ness of numerous battles and other disturbances along the border.

Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

JERSEY CITY, N. J., Feb. 12. = A warning that the United States may be "up against it." in the next war # she has to face an enemy's navy single handed was uttered tonight by Rear Admiral William $. Sims. in an address delivered before the Jersey City Lin coin association.
 We got away with this job this against it next time with a navy that is not busy fighting the naves of other countries at the same time."
 The admiral declared that any criti- cism that he has ever made has been for the benefit of the navy, but the Americans do not like to be criticised.
 America cannot and does not ask for criticism he declared. You know that. They argue: We're all right and if wer're not we don't want to hear it. : This is a dangerous attitude and has cost us thousands of lives Assump- ton has been made that I have criti- cised the record of the navy. I have gene beyond the limit in praising the men for their work. I have told the truth-some of this was not liked"
 The admiral said he wrote from Eng land with an idea of "toning down" some of the news.
 T wanted to modify" he said. some of the headlines that were appearing in our papers and were being reprinted on the other side. These headlines. or ar- ticles, assumed that the United States was the potent factor at that time. We then had only three per cent of the

 CLEVELAND. Feb. 12.-Observance of the one hundred and eleventh birth day of Abraham Lincoln today by the conference of the Lincoln American alliance ended tonight with a banquet at which Major General Leonard Wood was the principal speaker. Various labor, business and university leaders discussed reconstruction problems at today'S sessions.
 We are especially interested today not only to pay our small tribute Of honor to the memory of Lincoln" General Wood said, but also in ask ing ourselves what we are odO in preserving and strengthening the gov ernment which Lincoln maintained, the nation which Lincoln saved. There are many grave questions confronting us. We must build up and strengthen the spirit of national solidarity.
 We must do what we can, to give American labor American leadership. The great bulk of the disturbances which arise in labor troubles come from alien leadership. We must take vigorous steps to deport the red ele- ment.'
 He urged that more attention be paid to our system of public educa- tion and agriculture, which has been altogether too much neglected"
 Other speakers included Henry Lane Wilson, former ambassador to Mexico; Dr. J. Wesley Hill and Dr. George Hubbell, president of Lin- coin Memorial University.

 The admiral said it had been inferred that some naval officials had criticised the idea of having civilian authorities iri charge of naval matters. T want to state emphatically," he commented, that ther is nothing to it."
 Referring to the charges brought against him of being pro British, he said that any man who lived in for eign country for the purpose of study ing conditions was bound to be called pro this or pro-that.'
