If it is true that Francisco Villa has been captured together with a num- ber of other Mexican bandits by Car- ranza troops it means much to the Mexican republic and likewise to this ountry, for whatever is done to re- store peace in that country is of vital importance to this and certainly the elimination of Villa means the end of a leadership which has for a long time been the cause of great annay- ance, According to Mexicgn methods the capture of Yilla means his death and that, with the execution of Jose Rod- riguez and Miquel Baca Valles and the similar fate which awaits the other bandits who are reported taken with Villa is bound to teach a lesson to whatever other outlaws there are operating in northern Mexico and else- where that a new order of things is in vogue and it is in the interest of their health to cease their activities. The rise and fall of Villa has eov- ered a period of several years, but it ends .as it began, without anything to his credit. Before he came into ience as a leader of Carranza forces he was an outlaw and cut- throat. He was a most valuable di- rector of the constitutionalist army for many months and gained a num- ber of signal victories before the ir- reparable break with Carranza came, but since that time he has steadily lost ground as a revolutionist and for some time he has been resorting to the methods which first brought him into prominence. , For a time this country looked fa- vorably upon him because he dis- played a willingness to conform to the demards of the administration and it was easier to treat with him than with Carranza, but he fell from grace and his cdpture means much to the immediate future of the republic, January 18.. BERLIN DENIALS. There may be a certain amount of satisfaction which Germany gets out of the issuance of statements which deny reports concerning the activitigs of Captain von Papen while in this country, but just how much influence it is going to have in the way of changing public opinion in view of the actual "affairs which are chalked up against him depends upon the amount of thought that is given to both sides. Papers have been taken from the recalled attache while in a itish port which furnish pretty good ‘evi- dence as to what he has been doing. According to the stubs in his check- book the $700 was paid to Werner Horn, the man who last February at- tempted to blow up the railroad bridge between this country and Canada at Vanceboro, Me., and the date on the stub shows that it was paid two weeks Now_for the statement to be sent from Berlin claiming that no check had been paid to Horn Indicates an attempt to dodge the responsibility. It is like 2 plea of not guilty to an act for which proof is already pos- sessed. It is possible that Germany could not be, -to. admit such a payment, but the denial appears to responsible because Mflnnbnu.flnnmhl'hcvldmty but & portion of the torpedo found on the deck‘was sufficlent evidence to off- set the claim and the checkbook stub serves a like purpose in this mmummmum was being used to fan the gas fumes into instead of out of the submarine tion adopted of the of in order to increase. the heat and| histori make it more comfortable.

Regrettable as the accident was it is apparently another one of those de- plorable affairs which brings knowl- edge through experfence. Proper pre- cautions must be exercised under all circumstances and perhaps one of the most fortunate things in connection with the whole affair is that the plun- gpf™was in drydock instead of on the high seas when the explosion oc- curred. 2 INCREASED FOREIGN TRADE. ‘While the prosperity which this country is enjoying is getting atten~ tion it is an interesting revelation which is made by the statistics put out by the department of commerce and labor. They show conclusively that the increased industrial actlvityl is due solely to the demends which come from Burope because of the war, and the situation today would be vast- ly different were it not for the fact that the nations across the water are making business for this country. The increase in the exports of the United States for the year ending with June in comparison with a similar perfod just previous amounted to over $785,000,000. The decrease™Mn exports due solely to the war during the same period showed a total of over $396,- 000,000 or a gain in exports of over $309,000,000. Thus the increased de- ‘mands In fiftesen lines more than over- balanced the decrease in sixteen others by almost a third of a billion dollars, Our bhalance of trade with Europe has therefore been rising. tremendously, but it has not shown any such re- sults) in" connection with other grand divisions, for while the balance is still i our favor with North America and Africa by comparatively small amounts, it is still against us with South Amefica and Asia and Oceania by conslderably over $100,000,000 in each instance. ‘While the war lasts tkis Increased business can be expected to continue to a certain degree, but the time is coming when it is going to drop off and it is then that the old time com- petition is going to be revived for Europe is to more nearty take care of its o ‘wants and will be out to resume its foreign trade. It is thus apparent If this country is going-to reach out for per- manent increased f trade now is the time in which it must do it. The opportunity is one that should not ke neglected. —_— EDITORIAL NOTES. o Villa made his big mistake when he failed to take passage with his family to Cuba. 3 —_— With coal at $40 a ton at Italian seaports all New England can extend sympathy, The man on the corner says: It isn't often that the fellow with a warm heart fs given a cold shoulder.

The reading was under the aus- pices of the Unlversity Dramatic As- sociation. Mr, Masefleld arrived in New .York, Jan. 12, having just come from serving in the Red Cre ser- vice on the Western front more recently in the Dardanelles. He be- gan a two months' lecturing engage- ment Friday in New Haven, and be- fore retyrning to England, he hopes to visit the most prominent American Universities and some of the larger cities. This is his first American visit since he began to write, and the lecture on Friday was of extraordinary interest because of the umugual clr- cumstances of his return _to country as one of England's mw prominent men of letters after hav- ing left New York some years before as a day laborer. During the present war he has stood out as one of his country’s = clearest interpreters and thinkers; his famous poem, “August, 1974", has been perhaps the most not- able contribution to the literature of the present conflict. When but 'a small boy he manifested a passionate longing for the sea. At the age of 14 he left England on his first adventure, He made many voyages to,all parts of the world. Not only on &ea, but on land, was his early life adventurous: among other occupations he was once a farm laborer and later a bartender in a New York saloon. “It was then that he became intensely interested in good lterature, and since that time he has developed into one of the greatest living literary genil. Announcement has been made that Francis Hartman Markee, of London, England, and of New York city, a Yale graduate in the Class 071906, has been appointed Pageant Master, to take charge of the pageant to be held in the Yale bowl on the afternoon of Saturday, October 21, next, to com- memmorate the 200th anniversary of the coming of Yale to New Hayen. Mr, Markee wrote the masque for. the pageant at the University of Oxford, a few years ago, and was was associ- ated with Mr. Frank Lascelles in the coronation pageant at London. He also organized the South African pageant. It is now expected that about 4,000 people, including students, citizens of New Haven, and school children will take part in the pageant, which will indicate in various epl- sodes the most important events In and graduates of Yale will be invited to write the various episodes. This is the first time that a pageant on &0 large a scale has ever been attempted in America except at St. Louls. Mem- bers of the Faculty of Fine Arts, Music, BEnglish thmt\‘:m and.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Our Neighbeor, Mexiceo. Mr. Editor: There are many of us who do not agree with President Wilson and his inactivity in dealing with the Mexican affair. On the other hand, all must admit he has but fol- lowed in the steps of his predecessSor in refusing to favor a policy of inter- vention. Perhaps, it he had given in- dorsement to Huerta, all would ncw be well. ‘In that, it is possible his con- science was the bar. Was it not Pres- ident Hayes who waited nearly a yur. in 1878, before he gave recognition to gh;,? the dictator of Mexico at that me' President Wll.lon in dealing with Huerta satisfled conscience, and, i:tln, in keeping out of Mexico I think he has the interests of the people in mind. There is always those who rec- ommend intervention, in the name of dignity and patriotism; p-r-mu ‘who with ambitious schemes in mind, and still more crooked speculations, com- blne, and under the cloak of my coun- 3.
