THE STORM CLOUD ALONG THE
RIO GRANDE.
President Carranza's oft-reiterat
ed boast that he is master of Mex
ico and that his troops afford ample
protection to Americans, excepting
in those restricted zones where the
Villa bandits are acknowledged' to
hold “temporary” sway, seems to
carry but little conviction to the
harassed ears of the President. His
recent action in proclaiming an em
bargo on all arms to Mexico, no
matter to what faction destined, is
taken as an indication, says an au
thority on Mexican affairs, that Mr.
Wilson, after having accorded Car
ranza a thorough test, on faith, un
der official recognition by the United
States as the de facto authority in
Mexico, has reached the conclusion
that in reality there is no de facto
government below the Rio Grande,
but that, in actual fact, a state of
anarchy exists which will only be
aggravated by putting arms in the
hands of the Carranzistas with which
to work further mischief.
In spite of numerous hyperbolic
protestations to the contrary, by
Mexico’s representatives at Wash
ington, the congressional investiga
tion now in course at the capital
has developed the indubitable fact
that Mexico is not a healthy scene
of activity for foreigners, and par
ticularly for Americans. It even
appears that Americans are less safe
in territory over which President
Carranza claims control than else
where. Considerable circumstantial
evidence has been submitted, for in
stance, pointing to the perpetrators
of the notorious Correll murder as
Carranzistas, although the point re
mains under dispute.
Whether the Carranza govern
ment, as has been charged, is actu
ally hostile toward America and Am
ericans, or not, the fact remains,
as a matter of recent congressional
record, that since the overthrow of
Porfirio Diaz by Madero, in 1911,
two hundred seventeen Americans
have been murdered in Mexico, ac
cord ig to official tally, and, of these,
one hundred thirty-seven have per
ished since Carrairea came into pow
er.
Nor has intervention by American
troops during the fighting between
Villistas and Carranzistas at Juarez
in June helped to clear the air.
As a sequel to this incident, the
Texas senate, on June 21, adopted
a resolution calling the attention of
the President and Congress to the
“guerilla warfare that has prevailed
along the Texas-Mexican border
since 1875,” and asked the Federal
Government to permit independent
action on the part of the Panhandle
State to deal with Mexico. The
resolution was endorsed by Governor
Hobby, and forwarded to Washing
ton. This action of the Texas legis
lature is not considered as a seri
ously intended request to take up
arms, but it is thought to be a move
on the part of the perturbed Tex
ans to bring the gravity of the
situation strikingly home to the
President and Congress.
BURLESON!
It is an unusual situation to find
a newspaper so partisan in its sup
port of the President and his poli
cies as the New York World de
manding that the. President remove
la member of his official family. The
; World is very specific in stating the
case against Postmaster General
| Burleson. It charges him with hav
I ing demoralized the mail service
j everywhere, with provoking the hos
jtility of postal employes and of
labor organizations in general by
arbitrary methods, with so operating
the wire systems as to give poorer
service at higher costs; with ex
hibiting “gross favoritism in behalf
■ of one combination to the injury of
i its former competitors," and with
i violations of civil service rules. In
! the serious charge of seeking to
violate the civil service the postmas
jter general, it is held, tried to have
his niece appointed to the postmas
tership at Lockhart, Texas, over a
man who after examination had won i
the place. If the statements made '
by the World are true, comments]
jthe editor of Leslie’s, the President]
I should not hesitate to dismiss Mr. !
Burleson, if he will not resign.

Posters written in German and i
warning German girls against tisso- i
eiating with Americans appeared re
cently in several public places in
Coblenz and other towns on the
Rhine, the girls being urged to re
frain from making the acquaintance
of soldiers, regardless of the fact
that the treaty of peace had been
signed. At various times posters
have been put up threatening indis
creet girls with punishment of one
kind or another.
American officers who have inves
tigated say the Germans are deter
mied that girls who associate with
the soldiers shall have their names
made known to the population, and
that several secret societies have
been formed for that purpose. In
telligence officers say that on sev
eral occasions the names of girls
who are on the records of the Ger
man police for associating with Am
ericans have been read to the con
gregations at Sunday morning
church services. In other villages
the practice of posting the girls’
names in public places was Inaugu
rated some time ago.
The officers assert that blacklists
of the girls’ names have been pre
pared and are being kept for future
use, after the Americans are gone.

| JAPANESE TAKE
GREAT INTEREST
IN SOCIALISM
| TOKIO.—Demands for more com
fort for those who work for wages
and that fewer privileges be grant
ed to the rich are the fundamentals
of a popular movement which is
gathering form in Japan, and which
is causing considerable uneasiness
not only to the government, but to
representative Japanese in all
J spheres of activity. Socialism is
| attracting the interest of not only
the working people, but of men
| holding important places in the do
imain of education. This general
j movement is partly the reflex of the
jlabor unrest in foreign countries
i and partly the result of a steadily
| growing revolt at home against the
massing of wealth by the few as
! against the poverty and hardship of
jthe masses of the people,
i Japanese Socialists recently sent
'out manifestos to Socialists in for
jeign lands, asking for a formal rec
ognition of the Japanese body which
has been organized under the name.
“Japanese Socialist Party.” The So
cialist party of Italy sent a re
sponse conveying their willingness
to recognize the Japanese Socialists
as their friends and co-workers.
Sen Katayama. the pioneer Social
ist of Japan, is now abroad as the
representative of his party at home.
The attempt to promote Social
ism, or a more radical doctrine, is
being pushed now because of the
awakening of the workers to what
they regard as the evils of present
economic and industrial conditions.
The average Japanese workman is
beginning to raise his voice for bet
ter pay and more freedom general
ly. i
I he central organization for■
workingmen in Tokio has addressed
an open letter to the home minis
ter, the president of the Chamber
of Commerce, and others, declaring
that in case of war it is the work
ing people of Japan who are called
upon to defend its shores, and ask
ing whether it is the national policy
of Japan to allow capitalists to fat
ten while the workers are starving.
Dr. Jikei Yokoi, of the Imperial
university, in a public statement,
says that democratic ideas, long
j prevalent in the great cities, have
recently spread among the rural
population. They have particularly
atfeeted. he said, school teachers,
members of the young men’s asso
jciations, and army reservists.
Many Japanese scholars are re
ported to be enthusiastically study
ing Socialism. Laborers are openly
interested and are often heard dis
cussing the subject in streetcars.
