WAR WITH MEXICO
BY i. S. IS FEARED
London Weekly Reviews
Comment on Nicaraguan
Status as Hosti|ities Spark.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 15.-F'ears are
expressed by the weekly reviews in
their comment on the Nicaraguan sit
uation that the United States is drift
ing toward hostilities with Mexico.
The pro.American Spectator says:
THE United States is discovering, as
Great Britain did long ago. how slip
perry is the step Of imperialism.
If you wish to be anti-imperialist, as
we are sure the United States wishes
at heart, you must never make the
first step, however great the tempta
ton"
The Saturday Review, which is
strongly anti-American, declares:
Anti-American View.
president Coolidge has cast aside
the last pretense of neutrality and
brings his country face to face with
the possibility of hostilities with
Observation-Disclosures in which world
opinion would be as critical of the
United States as it was of Great Brit
ain during the Boer War
This paper thinks that the COM
ments of the South American news
papers must make unpleasant reading
in Washington.
Paper Sees Breach.
Nobody supposes," comments the
New Statesman, that President
Coolidge is aiming at war with Mex
leo, but it seems only too possible
c-Ix
problem of Nicaragua and Mexico by
Secretary Kellogg may lead to def
mite breach with the Mexican govern
ment.
Naturally the militant party in
Congress and among the oil interests
sees in the present chaos what may
well be it's only chance of forcing the
Coolidge administration into war and,
therefore, it is working feverishly."

Stricken Out.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
While Congress was swinging into
another debate on the Mexican-Nic
araguan situation today, a new source
of controversy developed over the
move to make public the testimony
given Wednesday before the Senate
foreign relations committee.
What was described by the STATE
Department as a corrected" copy Of
the stenographic record of Mr.. KEEL
logg's testimony was sent to the com
mittee by the Secretary with his per
mission to make it public. But Chair
man Borah said some of the things
that took place in the committee meet
ing had been stricken out of the
record and that the committee would
consider later whether to give out
what remained.
When Secretary Kellogg appeared
before the committee he took along
his own stenographer. who took down
the record in lieu of the committee
stenographers, who usually are pres
ent at such meetings.

but it takes money to lubricate the

IN SLAYING

LURAY, Va. Oct. 5.--An indfet,
ment charging first degree murder
was returned by the grand jury here
today against Tom Short, 3s. wild
over. in connection with the slay-
ing Of Esaie Buracker, last Tuesday
night.
Counsel for the defense asked
postponement of the trial, whlch
was to begin tomorrow. A post
poneTnent was granted until next
Monday. when the case will be
opened.
Although Short IL said to have
stated that IF I killed her. I was
drunk and didn't know what was
doing, 1t was thought probable
today that he would plead not
guilty to d possible murder charge
and win attempt to prove an alibi.
Short Il charged with having
fired q shotgun through = window
OF the Buracker homs. four miles
south OF here, killing the girl whom
he wanted to marry. and Woundtng
the girls mother, Mrs. Sam
Eurackef.
Members Of the Buraclker family
told police that they saw Short
peering in the window 4 moment
before the fatal shot was fired. For
three days sheriff.s posses searched
the mountains in the neighborhood
for trace of Short. Saturday morn
ing he surrendered to Sheriff u. T..
Lucas and denied that he was
guilty of the murder.
