Seeretary Lansing Sends Letter Telling That 76 American Cit- izens Were Killed in Mexico in the Past Three Years, Against 47 in a Like Preceding Period—Diplomatic and Consular Reports Withheld. ‘Washington, Feb. 17.—President Wilson sent to the senate today his response to the Fall'resolution adopt- ed last month requesting him to re- port on facts leading up to recogni- tion by the United States of the de facto government of Mexico headed by General Venustiano Carranza. It was in the form of a long letter from ry Secret Lansing summarizing the events which preceded recognition and transmitting_a great volume of data including = list of all Americans kill- ed in Mexico and along the border during the past six years. The president through Mr. Lansing declined to comply with the part of the Fall resolution asking for diplo- matic and consular reports on politi- cal conditions and_ events in Mexico. The senate was informed that it was not compatible with public interests to furnish this correspondence, inas- much as it was of a highly confiden- tial nature and “submitted by consu- lar officers of the United States, by di- plomatic or consular officers of other sovernments, which have graciously consented that their officers might supply this government with informa- tion during the necessary absence of American representatives and by oth- er persons residing in Mexico.” As to the ability of Carranza to fulfil his promises to protect foreign lives and property, Mr. Lansing said that under all the circumstances the de facto government, which at the time of recognition controlled more than 75 per cent of Mexico's territory, was affording ‘“reasonably adequate protection 1o the lives and property of American _citizens.” The data disclosed that 76 Ameri- cans were killed in Mexico in the Vears 1913, 1914, 1915, as compared with 47 in the thres years preceding and that 20 civillan Americans and sixteen soldiers were killed on Ameri- can soil in the last three years as .a result of Mexican troubles. When the report was received, Sen- ator Stone. chairman of the foreign relations committee, moved that it lie on the table and be printed as a pub- lic document. ‘He made no comment on its contents. The total number of Mexicans re- ported killed in American territory as a result of border trouble other than those resulting from firing across the border, the report says, in 1913 to 1915, inclusive, was 89. Mexicans killed in American territory as a result of fir- ing across the international border during engagements in border towns in the same period was three, a total of 92, In one portion of the report of Sec- retary Lansing this statement was made: “In this connection it may be stated that when the murder of American citizens was reported, the department of state made representations through its representatives for the apprehen- sion and punishment of the assailants, and in some instances the depart- merit's representatives made such rep- resentations to the appropriate officials on their own initiative. “Where there has been no definite information as to the apprehension of those said to be guilty of the out- rages on Americans resulting in their death a notation to that effect has been omitted to these lists for the sake of brevity.” IMPERATIVE NEED OF WORLD WIDE VISIONS. Rev. C. H. Ricketts Said World Was Never Before So Clearly Understood. “The world wide visions never were greater needed than today,” said Rev. Charles H. tts in a shop talk to the men e Richmond Radiator company Wednesday noon. me of the things Rev. Mr. late Cecil Rhodes is said to thought in terms of continents, it is that’ his broad vision policy created the The have and true and far-sighted young British empire of South Africa, a section of territory that has all the natural advantages for becoming some day a vast independent state. If this ever comes to pass, as seems likely, it will be due to a broad political policy. As an illustration of the opposite tendency to contracted and provincial views, the speaker referred to the mountaineers of Switzerland, many of whom refuse to believe there is any world outside of their own little Alpine valleys. This view has beem handed down from father to son for many generations, and this explains why there has been among these peoples so little progress. There never was greater need for world wide visions than today, be- cause the world was never before so clearly understood, nor so clearly seen in its unified relations. As a nation we need to be commer- cially more aggressive along legiti- mate lines. This country is enormous v haven't we an enormous mer- chant marine? In a competitive war- fare—feebly contested on our part— we allowed our merchant ships to be driven from the seas. Why should most of these ocean carriers sail under alien flags? Because of a provincial policy that was outgrown more than 50 vears ago. Conservatism is all right in building walls of safety about us; it ought not to put us into a tomb. If there is money for other countries in the merchant marine bus- iness, why not for us? Why should not the Stars and Stripes float over as many ocean carriers at least as the little insular kingdom of Great Brit- ain? The time has come for a broader and more enlightened policy. We want larger vision of this whole preparedness movement. We can never have a navy for the same pur- pose that Great Britain has. She has the largest navy in the world for police service: it is big enough to cover her limited sea frontage. To cover our extensive Atlantic seaboard and Pa- cific coast as Great Britain does her isles, would require a navy that would bankrupt any nation. In my judgment the safest kind of national defense does not lie in put- ting our rifles into the hands of Eu- rope’s trained soldiers; they may act as a boomerang and some day be pointed at us. We are not going to soothe this tiger instinct for fighting by standing on the wharves of New York waving olive branch and throwing kisses. The savage in man has been aroused and God only knows how many victims will be required before it will be satiated. What we need is a policy so broad that every able bodied man in the country should have some military training in_case of need. Our danger does not lie in the direction of pagan Japan, but so- called Christian BEurope. CLEARED UP MISUNDERSTANDIN Secretary Hine's Interpretation of Law Regarding Use of Civics in the Teaching of Civics. Secretary C. D. Hine of the state board of education has cleared up a misunderstanding that has ex- isted throughout the state in regard to the board’sinterpretation of the law of 1915, requiring the teaching of civics in the public schools of the state. The act was not clear on the use of text books in the teaching of the subject and it has been held that the state board wyas of the opinion that it did not require the use of them, Secretary Hine said there was doubt as to the precise meaning of the statute and that the board preferred to leave the matter to the local authorities. “Would a town, by neglecting to use text books in the teaching of civics, forfeit its right to a share of the grants which are allowed by the state “No;. certainly not,” said. Mr. Hine. “Did publishers of text books show an interest in the bill?” “Not_the least so far as I could see. Not one of them called on me nor @id any of their agents.” Secretary Hine further stated the federal government was making ef- forts to have civics taught through- out the country and a large number of pamphlets had been issued toward this end. He believed books on the subject for all schools in the state would cost $12,000 or $13,000. This is the estimate which Thomas S. Weaver, superintendent of schools in Hartford, gave of the expense for the entire state, Hartford.—State Highway Commis- sioner Charles J. Bennett has received notice that he had been elected a di- rector of the Massachusetts Highway assoclation. TO INCREASE RESERVE LIST OF C. N. G. Officers On Reserve List Will Be Sub- ject to Duty Only in Event of War. That there would probably be many increases in the number of officers on the reserve list of the Contecticut National Guard as a re- sult of the change made by the gen- eral orders of Feb. 10, in the change in the regulations covering the reserve list is the opinion expressed by Ad- jutant General Cole. The new regula- tions provide that “Officers on the ac- tive list of the C. N. G. may, upon their own application, forwarded through military channels, and with the approval of the adjutant general, be transferred to a reserve list. Ex- officers of the C. N. G, may apply through the commanding officers of the organization in which they rerced; such applications will not be approved by the commanding of- ficers where the applicants have been separated from the service any length of time, now will they be forwarded, approved, unless the ap- plicants are quit fit mentally, mor- aly and physically for active ser- vice. Officers on the reserve list will be subject to active duty only i nevent of war or other emergency, and in such event may be called upon for active service by the governor.” General Cole said that the aim of the new regulation was to provide for officers who, though unable to serve actually in the militia for one reason or another, were neverthe- less too good officers to be wholly discharged from the service, a way by which they could serve the state in time of need. By the regulations formerly in effect such men had to leave the service entirely, unless they had served long enough to per- mit them to go on the retired list. General Cole believed that the new regulations would somewhat in- crease the number of officers who were carried on the reserve list at present. DAVID GOLDSTEIN TO LECTURE Boston Man Will Speak at Town Hall —Public Invited to Attend. Arrangements have been completed by White Cross council, No. 13, Knights of Columbus, for the free lec- ture to be given by David Goldstein of Boston on Peace and War, which is to be held in the Town hall on Tuesday evening, Feb. nd, at 8 o'- clock. This meeting will be open to the public, men and women, and ev- eryone is invited to attend. It is announced that Mr. Goldstein will deal with his subject under three headings, giving the causes of war and the way to establish peace in our do- mestic, industrial and governmental relations. Mr. Goldstein will make plain the Christian attitude on these three phases of his subject, while he exposes the false teachings of radi- cals. What causes family disruption? What solution do Catholics offer for divorce and its kindred modern evils? What causes the industrial conflicts of our time? How would Catholics establish industrial peace? What is the cause of war? Does the European war prove Chris- tianity to be a failure? What is needed to establish and to maintain 2n enduring peace of na- tions? What has the church done for in- ternational peace? What can she do today ? Does obedience to the pope in mat- ters of faith and morals conflict with patriotic duty of Catholics to their country ? Is there a higher form of patriotism than that taught by the Catholic church? These are some of the ques- tions Mr. Goldstein will answer in his address at the Town hall next Tues- day night. His arguments are said by his friends to stand the tests of right-reason, but his enemies are not so complimentary. A Convert to the Catholic Faith. Mr. Goldstein is a convert to the Catholic faith, having been baptized on May 21, 1905, which was two years after he resigned from the Socialist movement. Mr. Goldstein’s fearless, fair and uncompromising attitude in defense of Christian principles against the assault of opponents has at length won for him a very high standing in the community in which he lives. And it has won for him thousands of friends in the many cities where he has spoken throughout the United States and Canada. Mr. Goldstein has the distinction of having been select- ed by His Eminence William Cardinal O’Connell, archbishop of Boston, as the layman to present the Catholic view of sociological problems in 1907 and year after vear since that time. e is sent to the annual conventions of the American Federation of Catho- lic Societies each year to represent Boston. The announcement that Mr. Gold- stein is to speak in his home city is always a guarantee of a packed house. In reporting the opening of the Com- mon Cause Forum last season the Bos- ton Journal says: “Catholics and So- clalists by the thousands flocked to Franklin Union Hall last night to hear David Goldstein, a convert to the Ca- tholic faith, tell of his journey from Socialism to the Church. Although » DATA ON MEXICOSENT TO THE SENATE|IN FIVEMINUTES NOSICK STOMACH, INDIGESTION, 6AS “PAPE’S DIAPEPSIN” IS THE QUICKEST AND SUREST STOMACH RELIEF. If what you just ate is souring on your stomach or lies like a lump of lead, refusing to digest, or you belch gas and eructate sour, undigested food, or have a feeling of dizziness, heartburn, fullness, nausea, bad taste in mouth and stomach headache, you can surely get relief in five minutes. Ask your pharmacist to show you the formula, plainly printed on these fifty-cent cases of Pape’'s Diapep- sin, then you will understand why dyspeptic troubles of all kinds must g0, and why it relieves sour, out-of- order stomachs or indigestion in five minutes. “Pape’s Diapepsin” is harm- less; tastes like candy, though each dose will digest and prepare for as- similation _into the blood all the food you eat; besides, it makes you go to the table with a healthy appetite; but what will please you most, is that you will feel that your stomach and intestines are clean and fresh, and you will not need to resort to laxa- tives or liver pills for biliousness or constipation. This city will have many “Pape’s Diapepsin” cranks, as some people will call them, but you ‘will be en- thusiastic about this splendid stomach greparatiom too, if you ever take it or indigestion, gases, heartburn, Sourness, dyspepsia, or any stomach misery. Get some now, this minute, and rid vourself of stomach misery and indi- gestion in five minutes. the hall was filled 3,000 others in front of the buildink clamored for admit- tance until long after 9 o'clock, when they were finally convinced that not another person could be admitted.” Mr. Goldstein’s sound reasoning and convincing logic is said frequently to arouse the ire of his opponents who invariably flock to hear and quiz him despite the attempts of the national officers of the socialist party to get their members to “ignore Goldstein and ask him no questions.” The press reports that “they come with tite hope causing embarrassment to the speaker, but in every instance Mr. Goldstein has met the enemy, disclosed their tactics, and completely defeated them.” In answer to a California so- cialist who made an attack upon Mr. Goldstein_he replied, in part, “The charge of beinz a professional turn- coat has in fact no slenderest thread to hold on to. My record is simple. I have not changed from one organi- zation to another nor back again. I have been associated with but one trade union during my life as a jour- neyman—that is the Cigar Makers In- ternational Union of America, of which I am still a member in good standing and in which I am proud to say I hold a 26 year old card. I have been asso- clated with but one political move- ment. I resigned from the Sociati® party 12 vears ago, after a futile at- tempt to’ induce it to repudiate its immoral teachings. I have been con- nected with but one church—the Ro- man Catholic church—into which I was privileged to enter ten years ago last May the twenty-first. “Moreover I am not a turncoat with regard to my religious convidtions. I am but a belated follower of our dear Lord. Beirg a Catholic means not a denial of great Jewish traditions, but rather a recognition of their zreatness by reason of their fulfillment. The Catholic church is the fulfillment of the law which was placed into the hands of the childre nof Israel, and the institution of the higher law in the Blessed Sacrament, which 1Is all men to spiritual perfection. pray every day 1 that the remnant of God's chosen people may be brought to the realization that the veil in the temple has been rent that the Messiah has come; that He actually exists within His own church; that His Sacred Heart beats for everyone of them: that He patiently awaits their en- trance into the one true fold, the ful- fillment of His own Brophecy.” B NATURAL CLUB MEETING Mrs. Frank L.
