by a slight further setback and then
by n rally TO n little above yesterdays

MEXICO NOT GIVEN
i. s. RECOGNITION
Action Expected Only After
All Disputed Points Are
Cleared Up.

Exchanges preliminary to a resump-
tion of diplomatic relations with Mex
leo are continuing, but it was said
authoritatively at the State Department
today that thus far no step had been
taken which either restores such re-
lations or extends the recognition of
the United States to the Mexican gov
ernment.
Although the settlement negotiated
at Mexico City by Charles B. Warren
and John Barton Payne is regarded
here as satisfactory, it has been en-
phasized, even since the report of the
two commissioners was submitted,
that certain details still must be
cleared up before diplomatic rela-
tions could be resumed. Communica-
tions bearing on these details have
been passing between the two capi-
tails and are likely to continue for
several days dt least before definite
action is taken.
1t has been the understanding that
when final accord was reached an
nouncement of it would be made si-
multaneously in Washington and
Mexico City, in identic language. The
form of this announcement is under
stood to be one of the things still to
be agreed upon. Officials appear con-
fident, however, that a full agreement
will not be long delayed.

THE TRIUMPH OF
THE SHOPKEEPER

There is one aspect of the late war

The final issue has been referred to
as the vindication Of democracy over
autocracy; it has been interpreted as
showing the superiority of the French
military system, or the British navy,
or the Italian valor, or the American
money bags, over all things German.

ton.
But one way OF looking at it is
this war demonstrated the superiority
OF the shopkeeper over the soldier.
The soldier has had his way with
the world for many a long century
and had well nigh cozened the human
race into belief in his supremacy.
This glorification of force. and of
it's exponent the soldier. found its
most complete expression in the rul-
ing class of Germany. This class had no
slightest doubt that the German mill
tary organization, the last word in
the scientific development of force.
would speedily overcome the world.
Germany looked around and could
find on earth no machine at all
worthy to stand before her.
In The Life and Letters of Walter
H. Page" the American ambassador
to London during the war there Is

spent her married life in Germany.

Speaking of German conditions and
sentiments and addressing an Eng

The Germans are absolutely con-

to go for. They mean to destroy

cerned with war material Thes.
towns are to be wiped out and the
men killed. ruthlessly hunted down.
German soldiers hope that your poor
creatures will resist. as patriots
should, but they doubt it very much.
For resistance will facilitate the
profits of clearance. One thing more ::
England is, after all, only a stepping
stone. From there we shall reach
out across the ocean. firmly be-
ieve that within a year Germany
will have seized the new canal and
proclaimed its defiance of the great
Monroe doctrine. We have six mil
lion Germans in the United States,
and the Irish h-Americans behind them.
The Americans. believe me. are, as
nation, cowardly nation" And
much more to the same effect
This Is q revealing sample of that
insanity which before the war every
where was called common sense. and

most pompous statesmen who be-
lieve themselves to be the emboui-
