asked that tliey be not proseeuted. but
tlie ollicials do not seem to be inclined
to be so lenient. Governor Harris,
the present governor, insists that
there must be a cessation of all such

in the attacks upon his predecessor.

Time does not seem to be solving
the Mexican problem, nor has President
Wilson been able to decide just
what shall be the course of the
United States towards that revolution
cursed country. Instead of the
rival factions getting together they
seem to be even farther apart than
ever. Caranza and Zapata are lighting
for the possession of the city of
Mexico.
For about two weeks this city has
been cut off from communication
with the outside world. At last accounts
conditions in the city were
bordering on anarchy, and rioting
was prevalent. Grave fears are entertained
for the safety of the foreigners
who are there.
The United States have been
brought more directly into touch
with Mexican affairs during the last
few days than at any previous time.
Victoriana lluerta, the one time president
of that country according to
the claims of one of the warring factions,
has been in this country for
some time. lie and several other
Mexicans have been arrested and are
held by the United States government
at 101 I'aso. Tex., on the charge
of violating the neutrality laws of
this country, in that they were organizing
a rebellion in Mexico. What
will be tin* outcome of the matter no
one seems to i>?* willing to predict.

A note from C.prmany to our eoverninunt
states that it is tlie intention
of the Merlin government to refer
to a prize court the case of the
William 1\ Frye, the American ship
sunk some months ago by the I'rinz
Mitel Frederick. The American government
declares that, inasmuch as
Germany has admitted liability for the
sinking of the Frye under the treaty
of 182S. prize court proceedings are
unnecessary, and not binding upon
the I'nited States.
Aside from the question of how the
indemnity should he paid, the note
brings out clearly the refusal of the
I'nited States to accept the contention
that Germany has a right to stop the
feirrvtncr /u /u>ni r.. S... ml ! . . *. '
ships "by the destruction of the contraband
and the ship carrying it."
While no mention of submarine warfart
was made in either the last German
note or the present reply, occasion
was taken to deny this right, because
of a belief that admission of it
now might in the future be used as
a justification for submarine attacks
on American ships.
Another English ship has been sunk
by a German submarine, and the lives
of twenty Americans have been lost.
The ship was the Armenian, and was
