U. S. Ambassador May Seek
Retirement.

By the Associated Press.
MENICO CITY. Nav 4.t,sm,nA
Ovey the British minister 10 Mexico,
has conferred at the American EN-
bassy with James r. Sheffield. the
American Ambassador. regarding va
iious questions between Mexico and
foreign governments including the
land and oil laws and the status or
claims conventions since The recent
disagreement by the general claims
commission on the question of dam
ages for the massacre Of America n
mining engineers at Santa Ysahel by
Mexican bandits.
Mexican OFFICIAL sources regard the
recent exchange OF views etween
Them and the british Minister regard
IN. the oil laws as satisfactory. They
construe the exchange As meaning
virtual British acceptance Of the new
laws.
After the conference with Amhas.
ssdor Sheffield Mr.. OVeN authorized
the statement that relations between
the British and Mexican governments
continued plea SAINT, and that there
was nothing new to report on the SIT
uation. He declined TO discuss local
reports, apparently inspired by the
foreign Office, to the effect that the
British government had accepted the
pei roleum laws.
Sheffield May Seek Relief.
Mr.. Sheffield proha bly, will take
vacation in the Autumn. proceeding
to Washington. where he will discuss
the Mexican situation with President
Coolidge and Secretary Kellogg.
There are excellent res sons for CON
siderjng IL possible that the Ambas-
Sador NAV sound tho President and
the Secretary Of State on whether
they think the time is propitious TO
relieve him Of his Mexican post.
L, is known that all previous ru-
mors that Ambassador Sheffield was
contemplating his resignation were
unfounded. and also that he is not
considering resigning at any time un-
less Washington is perfectly willing.
However, those well informed think

practice almost discontinued in the
United States but still in vogue in
continental Europe. the content might
run considerably higher.
Most of the alcohol disappears in
the baking. Only that is retained in
the finished product which remains
imprisoned in the dough after the
hard crust is formed. This might
vary with the speed Of the baking
and the intensity of the heat used,
although both these factors are, prac-
tically constant for bread making, 1t
was said. The amount of sugar and
yeast used also would have some eff
feet, it was stated.
: This Method Expensive.
OF course if anybody deliberately
set out to make bread with large
alcoholic content it might be possible
to do so, it was admitted, but the proc
ess would be more troublesome and
expensive than compromising real
whisky.
The Bureau of Home Economies of
the Department Of Agriculture was
likewise unconcerned over the report.
It advises housewives on bread max
ing, but leaves most of the chemical
work to the Bureau Of Chemistry.
But until the figures reported to the
chemists in Philadelphia are confirmed
or proven false the finger of suspicion
will not stop pointing at many
estimable persons.
The Bureau of Chemistry pointed
out, however, that the same suspicion
might attach to those who eat over
ripe fruit where there has been some
opportunity of fermentation where
the alcoholic content probably would
be higher than in bread.
The bureau does make many tests
for alcoholic content, under provisions
of the Pure Food and Drugs act, and
sometimes finds an illegal amount in
various CONNECTIONS. But it is in
clined to let the Nations bread alone,

BRITAIN IN SOUTH
Great Public Interest Is
Aroused by Visits of Cruiser
to Latin American Ports.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
BUENOS AIRES, September Ii
While the United States is talking
about Pan AmericaniSm and closer
relations with the South American
republics. the European nations are
sending warships on courtesy visits.
which pleaSes the Latin American
better than almost anything else.
The British cruiser Colombo, one
of the newest af1oat. is visiting the
South American republics timing its
calls to coincide with the national
independence days as much as pos
sible. The vessel spent several days
at MonteVideo over the Uruguayan
national holiday, and is now lying In
the port of Buenos Aires until its de-
parts for Chile in time to be in the
port of Valparaiso during the Chilean
independence celebrations.
A company of British sailors and
marines from the Colombo formed a
guard of honor while the commander
placed a huge wreath at the foot of
the monument to Admiral Brown.
Argentinas naval hero. AS a result
there is widespread newspaper pub
licity on the British interests and
the history of Argentine and Brit
ish relations.
1t has been two years since a
cruiser from the United States visited
Argentina. Nothing would bring the
United States and the South Ameri-
can populaces closer together than
to have American warships visit the
South American republics on every
respective national independence day.
Their independence has been inspired
by that Of the United States whose
Government also has been largely
copied by them.
Germany, Great Britain and Japan
do not overlook the advertising of
courtesy visits by their naval units
as the United States seems to do.

housewives Of Washington are no pet
ter than home brewers.
These nasty rumorS started with
report read before the American
Chemical Society meeting at Phlianei-
phia the past week. Prof. NlcnoldS
Knight and Violet Simpson OF Cofneli
College, Mount Vernon, Iowa, reported
on an analysis of u samples OF ordl-
nary bread both bakers and home
made They found it was reported
that the alcoholic content varied from
"a to 19 per cent. The larger guam
titv was present in homemade bread,
the researchers found.
Now bread with 1.9 per cent alcohol
in it's composition would be just Ia
pei. cent above the limit set by law
and dangerously near the 2.to ue-
manded by the most moderate vets.
The very lowest alcoholic content re-
ported by the investigators, GA per
cent. would just barely get under the
, wire.
It looked like scandalous goings-o Oh
w. c.. T. u. leaders and church people
actually engaged in making the vile,
soul-destroying stuff in their own
kitchens!
Figures Believed Stretched.
But the Bureau Of Chemistry of
the Department of Agriculture is
doubtful of the figures and believes
that only under extreme circum-
stances, indeed, will innocently man.
ufactured bread lay it's makers liable
to condemnation by the most ardent
drys. The chemists are not prepared
to urge upon Congress a rigid prohi-
bition law for the products of the
baker.
Bread undoubtedly contains alco-
hol. it was admitted at the food
products division of the bureau. AL
cohol. carbon dioxide and glycerol
are certainly produced by the fer
mentation of yeast and sugar, a
necessary process in bread making.
But the authorities on the chemis-
try of bread making always have put
the probable amount of alcohol in the
completed product so low that it
never has been considered worth
while to make a test of Washington
bread In fact, the alcohol in ordi-
nary bread is so slight it is difficult
to detect except by long process.
The latest tests in France reported
by William Jago, English chemist
and the foremost authority on the
chemistry of breadmaking, place the
content at 0.0753 grams of alcohol to
! 100 grams of bread, or less than a

AIRCRAFT AND PEACE

In view of the forthcoming conference at Geneva for further disarmament it is naturally the hope and de- sire of all well disposed people that of may attend these efforts.
 The disarmament conference called by President Har- ding in 192 had excellent moral effect but it only made very imperfect beginning in the direction of per manen peace, it did not limit the use of submarines other naval vessels except capital shps neither did it restrict the size of armies
 In any consideration of disarmament the subject of aircraft must ultimately hold an important place. Yet aircraft is an agency of peace as well as war.
 Suppose that armies and warships were reduced to absolute minimum Then the nation possessing the largest number of aircraft would have the advantage in the event of war; for aircraft built for commercial pur poses be used engines of destruction upon short notice, by equippng them with machine guns and bombs
 Gan the building of aircraft be restricted? With the present dream of arways encircng the gobe via the North Pole, with airpanes and dgibles crossing the easily trains continent, the progress of aviation be halted? Who shall say how many airplanes the United States may for transporting freight and passengers? Who shall set like limit for other nations, to which they will agree?
 This is only of the tremendous problems which the Geneva conference must face The most encouraging fact about the whole situation is that the nations at last willing to discuss these problems in friendly manner in effort to preserve the peace of the world.
