PEOPLE APPEAL TO HIM New York, July 1.—President Wilson made it plain in his speech at the New York Press club ban- quet tonight that he will not coun- tenance a war with Mexico until there is no other alternative for set- tling the border troubles. Again he declared that he was ready to sacrifice his own political fortunes in order to carry out his ! convictions as to what would be the just course to pursue in the situation. | The president’s audience, composed | of newspaper men, state and munici- |pal political leaders and others | prominent in public life, signified }their endorsement of his position by repeated outbursts of applause. They Cry “No, No.” When he asked if the glory of America would be enhanced by a war | of conquest in Mexico, shouts of “no” | came from all parts of the banquet hall. A similar response was made to his query whether it is America's duty to “carry self-defense to the | point of dictation into the affairs of | another people.” = The president dwelt also on his ef- forts to serve the whole people, thousands of whom, he said, are ap- pealing to him to maintain peace as long as possible, 4 “I have constantly to remind my- self,” he said, “that I am not the servant of those who wish to en- hance the value of their M:xican in- vestments, but that I am the servant of the rank and file of the people of the United States.” Colby Lauds Wilson. Bainbridge Colby, who placed Theodore Roosevelt in nomination for the presidency at the progressive convention at Chicago, paid President Wilson high trbute, but did not de- clare unqualifiedly that he would sup- port him in the coming campaign, as it was reported he would do. President Wilson sail he had re- ceived many letters from property | been many others from jersons whose names never would be known, saying to him: “For God's sake don’t start war with Mexico unless it is absolutely necessary.” What Engineer Said. “I get a great many letters, my fellow citizens,” the president said, “from important and influential men in this country, but I get a great many other letters. I get letters from unknown men, from humble men, from people whose names have never been leard and never will be recorded, and there is but onc prayer in all of these letters: ‘Mr. Presi- dent, do not allow anybody to per- suade you that the people of this country want war with anybody.’ “I got off a train yesterday, and as I was bidding good-bye to the en- gineer, he said in an undertone, ‘Mr. President, keep out of Mexico.” And if one man has said that to me, a thousand have said it to me as I have moved about the country.” Confer Over Proposed Advance in Rates Railroad men and Omaha shippers held a conference at the Commercial club rooms with regard to the pro- 'posed advance in freight rates froni Omaha to points in Kansas west of Manhattan, The traffic bureau of the club represents the shippers in the case. The increase proposed averages 16 per cent on the Union Pacific road. The traffic bureau has succeeded in getting the Interstate Commerce commission to suspend the rates, which would normally have gone into effect April 1. Deposition in the case is to be taken in the federal court room in Omaha fi!uly 10 by a special examiner of the Interstate ommerce commission.

NO TIME FOR LONG STORIES in (Correspondence of The Associated Press ) British Headquarters, France, June 20.—No military leader is more averse to publicity or works more silently than Sir Douglas Haig, the British commander-in-chief in France. To| those who are importunate for the offensive his answer is patience and yet again patience while the new mu- nition factories begin to produce, and he continues his building. His gen- erals say that he never tells them his plans; only what they are to do. Probably not one man out of ten of the 1,000,000 or more under his command would recognize him if they saw him. Not given to reviews or any kind of display, this quiet and studious Scotsman was the choice of the progressive, practical, driving ele- ment of the. army as the one gt by | equipment, training and experience to succeed Sir John French. At 55| he is nine years younger than Sir John and ten years younger than Joffre or von Hindenburg. There 18 a story that he entered the army as the result of a boyish wager. He went through Oxford with distinction before he went to the military school at Sandhurst. His choice of arm was the cavalry, which has had so little to do so far in this war. But no sooner had he received his commis- sion, later in life than most officers because of the time that he had spent at Oxford, than he set out with the thoroughness of the student to master every branch of his profession. Struck by His Industry. “It was in Berlin in the rxfla that I met a Captain Haig who was study- ing German and the German army,” said an Englishman. “I was struck by his industry—not a brilliant man, perhaps, but a sound and well-bal- anced one. A little hesitant of speech, what he did say went to the heart of things.” He studied the French army, too, and the history of all campaigns with the systematic thoroughness that he applied to everything. It was the same with his pastimes as his profes- sion. Whether he had talent for it or not he made himself a first-class golf player, though the form which he developed did not excite the envy of professionals. At the British Army Staff college, where officers learn organization, Captain Haig was a marked man be- fore he acted as chief of staff to General French in South Africa in the operations that made French's reputation.

The new army was arriving in | great numbers from its English drill grounds when Haig took over com- mand. His country expects him to make it an instrument which will ex- ecute a successful offensive on the western front, where the four| months’ effort of the Germans at Ver- dun, the French effort in Champagne | and the British effort at Neuve Cha- | pelle and Loos convince many mili- | tary circles that the feat is impos- | sible. His first operation, carried out without a hitch and unknown to the Germans, was the taking over of the trenches .occupied in the Arras sec- tor by General Petain’s army, which was released for Verdun. This gave the British an intact front of about 100 miles, and was decided upon by the allied commanders as wiser the mire and bog of the flat country of Flanders and northern France. Date is Set for the One-Day Trade Trip | Friday of this week, July 7, has been selected as the day for conduct- ing the one-day automobile trade trip from Omaha to David City and in-| tervening points. This is the trip | which was postponed some days ago | on account of a heavy rain, which put the roads in bad condition. About | fifteen or twenty automobiles are to take part in this trip. The crowd is| to start from the Commercial club | corner at Fourteenth and Farnam | streets at 7 o'clock in the morning. today with William H. Taft. Over a | luncheon at the republican presiden- | tial nominee's temporary summer home here, the former president and Mr. Hughes took up the chief issues tive campaign plans. Mrs. Hughes London gos- | presided at the luncheon and partici- | grandum reached th pated in the discussion.

Mr. Taft appeared to be in excel- lent humor as he alighted from the | automobile in which the nominee had accompanied him to the station. “l am for Judge Hughes,” he said. | “I want to see him elected, and shall | do all T can to assist him."” “Will you take the stump for him?" some one asked. "I shall obey orders,” he replied. “Monday I shall go to Murray Bay, Canada, for three months. When 1 return [ shall help all I can.” “After Mr. Tait's train had left, Mr. Hughes dictated this statement: “I have wanted for some time to meet Judge Taft and have an oppor- tunity of going over matters with him. He was kind enough to come down here and we have had a very full talk and I enjoyed it very much.” George Goldsmith Named To Supreme Court Position (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, July 1.—(Special.)—Miss Mary Greer, who for the last ten years has been record clerk in the office of the clerk of the supreme court, has resigned her position, on account of ill health, and George Goldsmith of Lincoln, formerly with the Dodge Real Estate and Invest- ment company of Omaha, has been appointed to the place.
