With Carranza it is no longer & question of whether he shall break with Germany. That he will break has been decided. The only questions are as to the time, opportunity and nature of the quid pro quo which he n*ly exact from this government. ‘Carranza missed an opportunity for his - country and himself when he threw oveér last March the chance to lead ‘the rest of the Spanish-Ameri- can countries in resisting the Ger- mans.

GERMANS SNEER AT WILsuN’s ME&SAEE oh Rnssmns Amsterdam, June l’ .—Commenting on President Wilson's note to Russia, the Berliner Tageblatt, according to a ‘Wolft Bureau de-vl'.ch to the Dutch papers says: “The Entente countrles naturally are fillled with satisfaction and grati- tude to President Wilson for having made himself the mouthpiece of the enemy alllance against democracy. “President ‘Wilsan has practiced self-denial to such an extent that he could not have given the message a more appropriate superacription than ‘Wilson' versus Wilson.” But perhaps he rates the judgment of the repre- sentatives of the Russian people in- sultingly 1gw when he believes that they. will not grasp the meaning of this tightrope performance by Franco British order with the abject of de- taching the Russians from their standpoint. * “If the Russian faculty to dis- tinguish the real from the unreal isn't dead, then President Wilson will ex- ferlenuo the truth of the saying that fine words butter no parsnips.’ The Vosseche Zeitung under the caption “War Message of a Peace President” says: “The turgid phrases are so foreign to the German nature that the German mind cannot under- stand how one can honestly enthuse over the fraternization of men and yet, simultaneously seek to prolong a most- horrible war, “But perhaps even this could be passed over if one icould look beyond the purpase of President Wilson's communication to the Russian gov- ernment. Does Wilson write to Rus- sia to hasten the advent of peace? No—to prevent peace. “From the chaos of the Russian revolution there has arisen a lasting and growing feeling, namely, a strong will for peace. England clings to stolen territories. France dare not admit to a deceived people that Alsace and the rest of the left bank of the Rhine must remain German. “Many Russian revolutionaries may have gazed longingly toward the American strand, where the great peace apostle Wilson dwells. Wiil he come to their aid? No, He stabs them "in the back. This peace preacher sends a message proclaiming war to the bitter end and warning against extending the hand of peace across the frontier.” *“This newly converted sealot,” says the Vorwaerts, “has preached war to a nation which is tired of butchery and longs for human kindness. Wil- son wants men to g0 on butchering each other for years and then finally fraternize. How many will be left for that celebration?” MAY GIET HEARING. Onimet and Sullivan to ‘Appear -Be- fore U. S. G. A. Executive Committee, Boston, ‘Mass, June 13.—In less than a week’s time something of im- portance may transpire in golf circles. ‘While not being advertised by the of- ficlals of the United States Golf asso- clation, it is generally understood that Francis Ouimet and John H. Sul- livan, jr., the Boston players, will ap- pear before the executive committee at a meeting to be held in New York city next Monday, June 18, One friend of the mien under dis- cussian says that Ouimet and Sulli- ‘van have been invited to appear at the committee meeting. It might be put a little differently, for the reason that the Boston pair more than two months ago applied for re-instatément as amateurs. When such application has been made the next step is for a hearing. TO APPEAL TO COUNCIL, Health Board Wants Winthrop Street Situation Remedied.
