NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Relations With Mexico Strained When U. S. Troops Cross Bor der in Chase of Bandits. CARRANZA PROTEST FUTILE President Wilson Discusses Peace Treaty With Senate Foreign Rela tions Committee, Without Vis ible Result Progress of the War on Profiteers' and Hoarders. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Rclutions with Mexico flared up again alarmingly last week and the amateur and unofficial prophets freely predicted that we would be at war with our southern neighbor within a short time". Once more American troops have crossed the border, with out asking permission of Carranzn, for the purpose of capturing Mexicans who hare committed outrages against American citizens nnd for whose ac tions the whiskered one says ho can not be held responsible. Tho capture and holding for ransom f the two army aviators who had lost their way was the act of n small hand of bandits, but the administration at Washington shows n growing Inclina tion to step across the border and "clean things up" If the federal govern ment of Mexico cannot do the job. It appears that a stem warning was Is sued some time ago to Carranza, to which lie replied at length, stating that his government would do and was do ing all In Its power to protect the lives and proM?rty of foreigners In Mexico. In this case of the captured nvlators wh were released on payment of part of the ransomfederal troops were sent after the offenders. The Ameri cas punitive expedition consisted of part of the Eighth cavalry, aided by ly outspoken 1 some army flyers. They caught two lutlon. In the bandits nnd killed four others who opened fire on them when surrounded. Under Instructions from his govern ment, Ambassador Bonlllus entered pretest against the "Invasion" and de manded the Immediate withdrawal of the troops. The reply, drafted by Pres ident Wilson, was a flat refusal t cMaply with the demand. The press of Mexico City was aroused to loud protest One or two of the pa pers there, however, realize the seri ousness of the situation that has been created by the numerous outrages against foreigners nnd admit that un less Carranza radically changes his policies he will invite disaster to him self and to Mexico. In the United States Indignation Is by no Boeaas confined to the border states or to those who have suffered, finantlully or otherwise, at the hands of the Mexicans. The demand Is gen eral that our government give to American citizens everywhere the full protection to which they are entitled, nnd there Is a feeling that unless It does so our membership In the League of Nations would be farcical. tho other nations would hnvc to be usked to accept tho language of the senate as the language of the treaty; It would he especially humiliating to have to usk the assent of the German national assembly. Senator Fall called the president's attention to the fact that Germany Is not to be an original member of the league and consequently any amendments to the covennnt proposed before her admis sion would not be submitted to her. Mr. Wilson udmlttcd this was true and that the point had not occurred to him, but be Insisted tlint Germany already has a relationship to the lengue nnd that It was the plan to admit her Immediately. As for article 10, the crux of the whole light, President Wilson Inter preted It ns follows: If the league cnlls on the United Stutes to send troons nbrond to preserve tho terri torial Integrity of another member state from external aggression, the United States will be under an abso lutely compelling moral obligation, though not a legal obligation, to com ply. But the league cannot call on the United States for such aid unless the American member votes his ap proval In accord with American pub lic sentiment. After It was all over, Senator Hitch cock said the president had Tlnrlflcd many Involved questions In a wonder ful manner and that speedy ratifica tion would be the result. Senator Lodge said Mr. Wilson hnd not given them much real Information and that the admissions he had made had vin dicated the criticisms leveled at the league covenant. Between these ex tremes stand the "mild reservatlon Ists." To capture their votes, Senator Plttmnn of. Nevada took the reserva tions they udvocute, called them "In terpretations or understandings," and put them Into n resolution which he presented to the senate for Its adop tion apart from the resolution of rati fication. He asserted that he was act ing with the president's approval, whereupon Senator Hitchcock, admin istration lender, felt himself Ignored nnd showed that I'lttman's resolution was not much to his liking. The op ponents of the covenant were brutal ly outspoken In condemning the reso- coursc of the lively de bate Mr. Plttmnn admitted thnt the League of Nations was "hardly more thun a meeting place where the con sensus of the civilized world may be obtained and Its moral force brought to bear." "If you'll write that' Into the lengue covenant there will be no difficulty about Its ratification," Interrupted Senntor Reed of Missouri (Dem.). bolhhevlst vessels and sank four of them, thereafter concentrating against Kronstadt. The fortress was bom barded and the city set on lire. The situation In Upper Silesia Is confused and confusing. The Germans and the Poles are fighting each other In a desultory fashion there, nnd both are contending with the striking workers of the country who have be come so violent that the German au thorities proclaimed martial law. The new German constitution tins Just gone Into effect, nnd a summnry of It hns been made public In Amer ica. If seems to be In most respects nn admirable document, designed to establish and maintain a moderate and commendable form of republican government, more strongly centralized than our own. The powers of tho president are very great. The equal ity of all men nnd women before the law Is nsserted, nnd titles of nobility are nbollshed except "as n part of n person's name." It Is noticeable, how ever, that Germany Is still culled an empire. It mny be ndded, as a matter of Interest, that the former kaiser has Just bought u place of residence In Holland, nnd thnt current reports of his fast fulling health are flatly con tradicted by a correspondent who see? William nearly every day. Which brjngs us to the second great event of the week, the unprecedented meeting of the senate committee ou foreign relations with President Wilson In tho White House for the elucida tion of many points In connection with the peace trenty nnd league covenant. In accordance with the desires of both parties, the entire proceedings were given full publicity, but a study of them and of the subse quent comments of the participants does not show that much was accom plished In the wny of removing tho ob stacles to ratification of the treaty. Mr. Wilson made a long preliminary statement to the senators and then an Bwered their many questions with nil frankticss. His position regarding Interpretations and reservations might be summarized thus: If ordlnury com mon sense Is used In reading the treaty and covenant they nre unnec essary; If they merely accoinpnny tho uct of ratification there Is no objec tion to them; but If they are made a part of the resolution of ratification, long delays would result because all Paris correspondents predict that the peace conference will adjourn within two or three weeks and that when It reassembles In November or December the United States will not be represented unless In the meantime the senate shall have rntltlcd the treaty and decided that we shall ac cept mandntes. The work for the con ference after It reconvenes will bo the partition of Turkey nnd the settle ment of the Thraclan nnd Adriatic questions. If the United Stutes does not take part In these, both Italy nnd Greece expect to win their demnnds, for the Americans are now their only opponents. As to Thrace, the Amer ican delegation Insists on the creation of a buffer state that will give Bul garia nccess to the sea. The Greeks and Turks, who mnkc up the bulk of tho population of Dedeagatch dis trict, Involved In this plan, nre bitter ly opposed to the continuation of any thing like Bulgarian rule there and are reported to be preparing to resist It by arms. It Is not the Intention of the pence conference to leave any part of Thrace In the possession of Bul garia, Tho council of five hopes that the Austrian treaty will be signed within u week. It nlso Is feeling optimistic nl)out Hungnry, where a new coalition cabinet has been formed, ami thinks It may soon be able to recognize the government nt Budnpcst and present the Hungarian treaty for slgnnturo. The week's news from Russia was somcwhnt moro encouraging, for Ad miral Kolchnk appeared to have stopped his retreat ond to have checked the pursuing bolshevlsts. The red forces were ousted from Odessa, and lost ground In some other regions. In the Gulf of Finland a British fleet encountered n number of Uncle Sam's war-against the prof iteers and hoarders went on steadily If not so swiftly as the victims of tho 11. 0. of L. might have hoped. Tho ultimate consumer hailed with en thusiasm the assertion by Attorney General Palmer that the small retail ers as well as the big retailers nnd tho wholesalers are going to feel tho heavy hnnd of the department of Jus tice. He appeared before the house committee on agriculture to discuss proposed amendments to the food con trol net, nnd argued against u pro vision thnt would exempt from prose cution us profiteers those retailers who do an annual business below $100,000. Many of the complaints of extortionate prices, he said, aro against the small dealers and he add ed he would feel hopeless If he were restricted to the larger dealers. Mr. Palmer nlso asked the committee to withdraw the proposed provision giv ing the president authority to fir prices. This, lie said, he considered unnecessary and calculated to provoko too much discussion. The only amend ments he favored were one extending the scope of the net to Include wear Ing apparel and containers of foods, feeds and fertilizers, and one Impos ing u penalty of $5,000 or Imprison ment for two years for profiteering. The great quantities of foodstuffs which huve been seized In various cities by the agents of the department of Justice will not be placed on tho market until proper court proceedings have been completed. Meanwhile tho government Is disposing of Its vast surplus army stores practically at cost, and the way In which hundreds of thousands of people struggle for n chance to buy these commodities Is 8iitllclent evidence of their need. The actors' strike, after spreading to Chicago, became so stubborn a struggle there that the unions of mu slcnns and stage hands C'Vore cnlled on for help, with the result thnt near ly every theater was obliged to close. Efforts to end tho strike amicably In New York were fruitless, and It was said there It might be extended to cov er (he entire country and nil hall shows, Including the movies. Within a week there probably will be a conference between tho ofllclals of the steel workers' unions and rep resentatives of tho United States Steel corporation.

They nre paying truckmen from one and a half to two cents n bushel and more to get the wheat to town. Every ele vator Is full to the roof mid only an . occasional car comes along fur loading. Unmistakable evidence of the work ing of an Incendiary, whose purpose was to burn the wheat crop on the W. II.

Boxes of mutches wero hidden In the bundles of grain which wefe to be threshed nnd matches were widely scattered over various parts of the Held. Pieces of steel, old bars, etc., were also hidden In the grain bundles, evidently with the deliberate Intention of crippling the-threshing machinery. Grassmeyer gave the prin cipal evidence which resulted In the interning of the German pastor, Kruu dells. According to figures furnished by Secretary W. II.
