PLANS 70 DEAL WITH MEXICO JUST BEGON Wilson Says Sitnation Seems to '. he Taking Shape Washington, June 16.—President Wilson told callers today that the plans of the United States for dealing with the Mexican situation were 1n- choate as yet but that the situation seemed to be taking shape. He had before him Géneral Carranza's pre- ADMIRAL FULLAM HEAD OF ANNAPOLIS, RESENTS CRITICISM clamation amd Gen. Villa’s memor- andum in answer to his recent state- ment to the factions that they must adjust their differences or some othe means would be found by the United States to restore a government in Mexico. Mr. Wilson had not studied the do ument in detail, but indicated that he | intended to examine them closely. Carranza’s Reply Awaited. reply to overtures by General Villa for restoration of peace in Mexico was awaited with considerable m- terest in . official circies nhere today. Upon his response depends the mnext move in the situation. General Villa already has formally notified the American government {hat he had asked for a conference with Carranze with a view to a set- tlement of Mexico's domestic troubles. A copy of Villa's telesram to Car- tanza and his reply to President Wil- son’s recent statement .calling upon the hands of the warring factions in Mexico to adjust their differences are before administration officials. ! Two Perils in Demand. In his note the northern command- er refers appreciatively to President wWilson's efforts to restore peace and outlines plans for reaching an under- standing with the constitutionalists. In his message to Carranza, Villa warns the first chief of two ‘perils seen in President Wilson's declaration that unless the various factions reached an agreement among them- gelves soon, some means would be employed by .the Unitd States to Lring about peace. The perils refer- red to by Villa are: S “First—The Cientificos, with any other group, might agam . enthrone i{hemselves with American dssistance, “Second—=Should the people not submit to this, the American govern< ment might have recourse to armed intervention.” First Tangible Development, The action of Villa in mitiating a movement for peace is the first tan- gible development in consequence of President Wilson’s statement. The South End and the Tegner bowling teams will meet this evening at Nelson’s alleys and at the close of the games a banquet will be served exp at the General Carranza’s Annapolis Md., June 15—Seeming- 1y convinced that an effort to place his administrations in the Naval academy in a bad light and to reflect upon of- ficers and instructors under his com- mand was under way, Rear Admiral Fullam, superintendent of the institu- tion, suggested to the court of inquiry that is investigating the report that the exams were tipped off that he should enter the proceedings as a de- fendant and have the right to examine the witnesses. 'This suggestion was not well received by the court of in- quiry. DEFENDANT IN TWO SUITS. Steve‘Ladieniec, through his attor- ney Joseph G.

One of O. Henry’'s best stories is that of a hotel typewriter, who sud- denly finds herself adored by a Hetty- Green-sort of patron of the hotel and is lifted from her life of every day work to one of elegant luxuriusness. She comes back to workaday life, but that's not here nor there. The ele- ment of unexpectedness with which O. Henry always ends a yarn was found in the ‘girl’s resemblance to the face on the silver dollar that had won the old lady of millions. It is recalled apropos of the fact that a suecial gold dollar commemoratiyve of the Panama-Pacific Exposition, bear- ing the face of a laborer, will be struck off at the San Francisco mint in a few days. Another commemorative exposition coin is a fifty dollar gold piece. The former wil have a double signifi- cance, for it wil commemorate labor's share in the building of the nation, and will recognize the efforts ‘of the workmen who built the Panama Canal. The emblem of labor will be on the obverse side, and a represen- tation of two dlphins, typifying the oceans, will appear on the reverse side. On the obverse side of the fifty dol- lar gold piece will be the figure of Minerva. The reverse side will show the owl, sacred to Minerva, the ac- cepted symbol of wisdom. Again, labor gets it handed to her hard. A mere dollar gold Dpiece, when it might just as well have been a fifty. But such is life. It's the wise ones that always get theirs. Minerva got the fifty. . Citizens of Porto Rico. (Boston Post.) The people of Porto Rico are un- queéstionably “men without a country” as we regard democratic nationality. We took them from Spain, where they had little or no place in that monarchy, and we gave them in our republic only a restricted recognition in the conduct of their local affairs. ‘Will they ever come more fully to the enjoyment of republican privileges? In this island possession we have a problem of peculiar interest. How far can we go in the application of those ideas of popular government which are held to be fundamental in our system? Where shall our broad principles be shifted to meet inciden- tal conditions? The demand for United States citi- zenship comes again from these island- ers; this time from representatives of the laboring class there. It is accom- panied by charges of mal-administra- tion on the part of the territorial gov- ernment. The natives who work in sugar and tobacco planations allege that they are oppressed and under- paid; that the right of free speech and the privilege of strike have been de- nied. Can the fact of exclusion from Unit- ed States citizenship account for any such discrimination? The fault, if it exists, must be placed upon the ad- ministration of the authority already established. It is upon this plan of education and of sovereign control that our occupancy of Porto Rico has been undertaken. The ultimate citi- zenship of that people must come; but this can be realized only when their capacity has been demonstrated. Killing Merchant Marine. (Norwich Bulletin.) The length of time that the Amer- ican flag will continue to fly in the Pacific depends to a large extent up- on the support which is given to such legislation as the recently enacted seamen’s act. Already, though it is five months before the law goes into effect, it is plain that it is going to hamper instead of help shipping, and while the regulations which affect foreign ships, and at the same time involve existing treaty conditions, do not go into effect until next year, there are no indications that all will be readily agreed to.- For a great many years the Pacific Mail Steamship company has been operating many steamships. but the impossibility of meeting the new re- quirements of the seamen’s act and at the sdme time succséfully compete with foreign lines has“been disclosed to such an-extent tHat no attempt will be made to comply. The company will g0 out of existence and with it fif- teen vessels which are now flying the flag of this country will probably go to registration in other countries or be placed in the domestic service. For a country which is anxious to build up its merchant marine and which is also anxious to extend rather than curtail its foreign trade this is an unfortunate stuation. No com- pany of that character is apt to sac- rifice its business if there is a pos- sibility of meeting the requirements of the new law and. it is not likely that the effects will be confined to that company. They are going to be a serious drawback to existing trans- oceanic transportation lines and a discouragement to new ones. AUSTRANS MARGH.
