MEXICAN CONSULATES
CLOSED IN BRITAIN

Mexico City.-The most transcen-
dental step in Mexicon diplomacy was
taken when the foreign affairs de-
partment ordered the closing of the
Mexican consulates in London. Liver
pool, and Glasgow, as well as all the
honorary consular offices throughout
Great Britain. This step means the
complete suppression of commercial
relations with Great Britain.
'"The decision to recall the Mexican
consuls in Great Britain said For
eign Minister Saenz, docs not imply
desire on the part of Mexico to
show hostility toward Great Britain.
but obeys sentiment and decorum, we
believing it is unworthy of us to main
tain consular representatives under a
government which does not concede
Mexico the honor of maintaining of
fetal relations thus implying that it
does not consider Mexico has the
moral and legal capacity inherent to
sovereign Countries"
According to Senior Saenz, British
cOnsuls in Mexico will continue to
have the same guarantees as hereto
fore, should Great Britain not recall
them.

ASSIST EUROPE
To HELP ITSELF
President Says U. S. Wants
Only Good Will, Peace in
Golden Rule Address.

WaShington.-t.The hope and aim of
America is to help Europe to help il
self" President Coolidge declared in
an address devoted to international re-
lations at Golden Rule dinner of the
Near East Relief association.
Speaking before an audience which
included many members of the diplo-
matte corps. Mr.. Coolidge outlined at
some length the attitude of the Wash
ington government in foreign affairs
which he declared followed the Golden
Rule.
Europe does not want our benevo-
lence," the President said. ut does
want our help, and we are ready to
give it. America wants the peace
of good will and of the Golden Rule;
not the peace of force imposed by
those who have power. 1t wants peace
as the normal, the right, the assured
estate in a world from which a wiser
generation shall have forever out
lawed aggressive war"
Has Aided With Loans.
Recalling that this country had ex-
pended millions in charitable relief,
AIr. Coolidge called attention that it
also had extended to other govern
ments loans and credits (which they
are beginning to repay" There is
moral obligation" to make such re-
payments, he added.
The President took occasion also to
restate that while this government had
given its general appreciation" TO nu-
merous loans made by its private citi-
zens in aiding the retinancing of Euro
pean countries, the loans were made
without he assumption of any obli-
cation whatever by our government"
Want to Be Good Neiehbors.
American relief during the famine
periods in Russia had prevented, he
declared, the spread of bolshevism
over a large proportion of Europe.
But for this relief, he added, civiliza-
ton, (which has been set back a gen.
GRAFTON in Russia, would have had the
same setback over half score of
other countries. Peace would have
been impossible"
1--WE disapprove of the Russian gov
eminent" he declared, "but America
has held humanity higher than inter-
national laws"
1--WE might have taken the attitude"
he continued, that we had completed
our obligation to Europe the day the
armistice was signed. But the object
of Americi. in the war was greater
than military victory 1t was the
maintenance of human institutions, re-
establishment of orderly government
and preservation of Civilization itself
in Europe.
America is profoundly concerned
in behalf of whatever promises to
make the world better neighborhood
and its peoples better neighbors. We
have no better wish than to be good
and helpful neighbors with ALL"

Ontario Cities Vote Wet;
Rural Districts Stay Dry

Toronto, Ont.-The cities and towns
of Ontario are wet and the country
side dry. The voters in the rural Sec
tons polled more heavily than those
in the industrial centers, with the re-
suit that prohibition in this Canadian
province has been sustained by a ma
jority the exact size of which is not
yet ascertained.
The provincial government Is raced
with an awkward position as the re-
suit of the referendum. Toronto, for
instance voted wet by the substan-
tial majority of $4,000. Hamilton, the
second largest city in Ontario, voted
wet by $4,000. The wet majorities
cast in Ottawa and London were
about 5000 each
In Windsor, Niagara Falls. Sault
Ste Marie and all the larger towns
along the United States frontier the
wet vote was overwhelming.
Members IF the government prevI-
Gus to the vote made yelled references
to the possibility u introducing some
form of local option, and the great
divergence between urban and rural
Ontario shown in the vote will prob
ably launch a move for some such
legislation.

Ends 9,OOO-MiLe Journey

New York.-The dirig,ible Shenan-
doah arrived over Lakehurst, N. j.,
completing voyage of 5000 miles

ords of naval aviation.
For an hour more than 1917 days
the traveller had been away
from her home station, crossing the
American continent, wandering along
the west coast and Swimming back to
New Jersey. Her distance is by far
the greatest ever travelled on a single
cruise, far outreaching the double
voyage of the British R-34 to America
and back again; and her time a-travel
sets another new mark.
The Shenandoah in her long trip
has outridden gales, battled her way
through storms, end Haunted high
winds. More than that, she is the
first of her kind to sail over Ameri-
can territory west of the Mississippi
and is a pioneer of the air over the
Pacific.

GUN ELEVATION is
ASKED FOR u. S. NAVY

WaShington.-ln radio address for
Navy day, Secretary Wilbur declared
that naval strength must be measured
by "the blow a ships guns can deliver
at long range" He asserted that the
gun elevating machinery on American
battleships should be improved to per-
nit all main batteries to reach an aver
age maximum elevation.
Subject to the construction Of the
treaty for the limitation of ornaments,
we are asking congress TO authorize
the necessary changes to permit this
elevation" the secretary said, $50 that
our fleet may have a maximum eff
cheney at long range. We anticipate
that future naval wars will be fought
in great fleet actions where nation
will stake everything upon the issue
of a single battle.
''The Navy department recently re-
ported to congress that our navy as
whole was only so per cent as power
full as that of Great Britain" he said.
'This ratio was faulty, due to the fact
that four of our battleships needed
boiler repairs. Three of these have
since been repaired.
eve are going ahead with our navy
plans. If we and the other powers
conform to the agreed ratio, not only
in battleships. but also in other sur
face and subsurface and aircraft, sue
cessful aggressive warfare between the
signatOry powers across the oceans
which border our shores will be an
impossibility."

lips, as Doctor Stone read passages
from the Scripture, which long had
touched his heart.
About two hours before the end, Mr.

put up the best fight l could. But I'm
going" 1t was then that he asked to
see his wife, his children, their wives,
and Doctor Stone
When they gathered about him, the
aged banker requested that Doctor
Stone join him in song. His voice,
strangely strong and sturdy for dy-
Ing man, was less mistaken than the
voice of the CLERGYMAN

contemplating his approaching death.

rugged health. His only ailment was
the stomach alterations which finally
led to his death.
