LONDON, Aug. 25.—In an editorial

Diplomacy,” Thi London Standard
8ays»:
“President Wilson can not be con
gratulated on his first essay in the
conduct of foreign affairs. * • *
The relations between the two r*
publics have reached a crisis and
President Wilson has involved him
self and his Government In some
embarrassment.
"The United States |has received a
brusque, even an insulting rebuff from
a second-rate State and a ruler whom
it officially regards as* a usurper.
“President Wilson, It appears, in
structed Mr Lind to go on negotiat

anything to negotiate about, except
an apology, which General Huerta
shows no sign of offering. * • *
“Considerable anxiety will be fell

Wilson’s Policy Is
Savagely Attacked.
LONDON. Aug. 25.—The Saturday
Review savagely attacks President
Wilson's Mexican policy. It says,
“Wilson unconsciously is playing the
gams of those in the United States
who want control of Mexican politics
in order to till their own pockets.
"If he wishes to plunge his own
country into a war that would law
for years, drive Mexico back into
anarchy, and play the game of his
own political enemies,” the article
states, "he will continue his present
policy and try to break down the
Huerta regime. On the other side is
the alternative of accepting a trifling
reverse of policy."

61 MOTHER TO
PLEAD GUILTY
j But Man Accused as White Slaver
Reiterates He Will Make
Vigorous Defense.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25.—De-
daring he intended to put up a vig
orous defense when placed on trial in
the United States District Court
Tuesday morning, F. Drew Oaminetti,
companion in their flight to Reno
with Maury Diggs, Marsha Warring
ton and Lola Norris, explained the
reasons why he refused to plead
guilty.
“These reports that I Intended to
plead guilty were occasioned by the
anxiety of my mother following the
conviction of Diggs, said C&minettL
“She was of the 1 mpresslon that I
would stand no show whatever on
trial and that It would possibly be
better for me to plead guilty and I
throw myself on the mercy of the
court.
“Both my counsel and myself have
induced her to look differently on th*
matter since. In the first place. I
< ould not think of pleading guilty to
th«* charges placed against me and
admit that I was a white slaver.”
< aminetti said he would not try to
shift the blame for the elopement on
the shoulders of Lola Norris.

E
Rev. A. R, Holderby Says Circum
stantial Evidence Would Cru
cify the Saviour Again.
Branding circumstantial evidence,
especially when extorted by the third
decree, as dangerous and unjust, the
Rev. Andrew R. Holderby, pastor of
the Moore Memorial Church, in his
Sunday sermon declared that if the
Angel Gabriel were to visit the earth
he would very likely be convicted of
some violation of the law* on that sort
of evidence.
“It is quite certain.” Dr. Holderby
said, “that Jerus Christ would again
be suspected and arrested and cruci
fied just as he was 1900 years ago—
and it would be on circumstantial evi
dence.”
Dr. Holderby arraigned the laws and
courts of to-day. declaring that our
so-called courts of Justice are too oft
en courts of Injustice and persecu
tion.
“If you have any grievance with
your neighbor,” he said, “you had
better settle the matter by arbitration
and steer clear of the courts. This is
the Bible injunction. You will not
likely get justice in some of our
courts.
“In the eyes of the law to-day it
seems that every man is presumed to
be guilty of some devilment unless ne
can prove his innoeence,and any man
may be convicted of some immorality
upon the testimony of any irresponsible
witness who has been put through the
’third degree.’
“God exhorts all men to ’do jus
tice. love, mercy and to walk humbly
with God.’ This is the summing up
of religion. It is the Golden Rulo,
and if men were governed by this law.
earth would become heaven. Thero
would be no need of preachers or
lawyers or courts or juries or jails.
“But this law of heaven Is not
obeyed, hence the sorrows and
miseries of earth. We are living in
an age of Injustice and cruelty. This
divine law of Justice and mercy is
often violated by the State as well as
the individual. The law as adminis
tered by the State is inclined to be
vindictive and unmerciful.

Surprising How Many Women Are Selecting Their
Fall Suits These Days
Time was when it would have been considered “rushing the
season” to select a fall suit in August.
But customs change with time and what was impracticable
a few years ago is a very sensible thing to do now—and so smart
women who concern themselves with the new styles -while they
are still new are turning to the well-filled crystal cases of our suit
department and are choosing with a fine sense of satisfaction
their fall suits.
That choosing with such satisfaction might not be possible
in every store at this season we will not argue, but that it IS possi
ble here is a matter you may prove by a few minutes’ visit to the
Suit Department.
The style tendencies for fall are wmll developed now, there is
nothing to wait for in that respect—and they are novel and inter
esting and varied.
Novel and interesting from many viewpoints. There are
draped cutaway coats, there are cutawmy coats that button close
up to the neck, there are cutaway coats with “dug
out” collars and others that have the semblance of a
blouse—all different from styles we have known.
And coats arc to be longer this fall; they measure 38
to ‘42 inches, hut—and to the pleasure of the woman of
slight stature—often the cutaway effect robs them of the
appearance of being long.
Never were styles more generally becoming!
Many of the skirts are slashed, many are draped in
one way and another.
Materials show the new scheme of things. Soft fin
ished fabrics are prominent, velour cloths self-striped,
erepons, ratine striped fabrics and bayadere poplins,
trimmings often take a contrasting shade and again the
use of embroidered velvet is pronounced on collars, cuffs
and skirts.
What are the colors'? 1
See with your own eyes! Naming the mahogany,
cinnamon, prune, amethyst, Copenhagen and navy shades is but poor apology for their
richness and beauty.
This is a worthy display of the new suit fashions, one that a woman may approach
with the confidence that the suit she selects will be an authentic style.
