He admitted that there was a aelfUh motive on the part of aomo of the coun tries, for they feared that If they should interfere In Mexico the time might com when trouble would de-elop In some other country and Mexico would wish to dictate terms to tho country embarrassed by local strife. Ho said further that there was lit tle delre on the part of bis own or other Central or South American coun tries to Join in armed Intervention In Mexico. They do not care. In tho first Instance, to assume the expense or rls tho lives of their soldiers. More Im portant still, they do not want to set tho precedent which some day mlht ........ u.i in mdlnr troops Into some other republic that mlKht have strife on Its band. Especially la this true of the smaller governments. Asserteaaa t ader Sosalctea. It Is learned from this diplomat and from other representatives of the Latin American countries that those countries do not have Implicit confidence In the professed desire of the United States merely to restore order In Mexico. iTeexed for an explanation, the answer Invariably Is that lha Santo Porolntco scandal seems to demonstrate that the United States, or some of Its repre sentatives, show a friendly Interest In the weaker governments primarily for what can be made out of tho tr"n ac tion. It will tske the United States years or more to win bach the confi dence of Central and Koutb American countries. In face of the exposures made In Santo Domtnao. and the tank will be the more difficult. It Is explained, be cause of tho evident reluctance with which tho administration parted with Minister Sullivan, after hla unfitness for offlre had been proved. The Vlck letter, written by Secretary Bryan, Is also said to be another seri ous cause of Latln-Amrrlran suspicion of tho motives of the United Statea In Its deallnes with tho countries to the sooth. That letter convinced those people that the United States. In Santo Domlnso at least, was concerned pri marily In providing salaried offices for American politicians, the salaries to be paid by the country which the United States presumably was aiding. aalatlea la Xet Clear. "These are some of the reasons why our countries are not stroncly desir ous of co-operatlna: with the United States la restoring order In Mexico." frankly confessed this South American, after bavins; spoken of the causes out lined. -Mexican affairs are so badly muddled today that wo cannot see the solution, and with the Santo Domln'O affair fresh In our minds, we would pre fer that the United States act alone In Its deallnss with .Mexico. We. of course, hope tho United States may be able, at an early day. to restore peace In Mex ico: we deplore conditions there as much as anyone else, and we hope that peace may be brought about without armed strife hetween the two nations. Bot If the United States determines on Intervention. It will have to do Its own tntervenina. 1 do not believe our gov ernments will Join In such a move. There Is no denying that deep In the minds of the South and Central Ameri cans Is a firm belief that the United States looks on Mexico with covetous eye. There is a fear that the United Statea wants to expand Its territory as far south as the i'anama Canal, and the professions of our Government rep resentatives to the contrary have failed to carry conviction. For this distrust the Santo lomlnao scandal seems to be primarily responsible.

Physical Tralnlns; to Hsto L,rs;er Part la Education and More Religion Taught, Sara Educator. BERLIN. Aug. 1. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) The director of one of the largest boys' high schools In Germany. Dr. Heeren. writes from the trenches before Rheims that he be lieves the war will cause a complete change In the course of studies for boys in schools of the grammar and high school classes1. "Physical training will have a larger part in education." Dr. Herren believes. "School gymnastics of the acrobatic variety will bo abolished, and long cross-country runs will be practiced in order to develop the lungs and heart, which this war has shown are the weak points of our young manhood. "In the classroom there will be less dogma and more religion. History teaching will aim to arouse enthusiasm for great personalities. In geography the essential question will be in study ing each country. What interests has Germany there? "Much more importance will be at tached to physics and chemistry. Knowledge of Russian and Spanish will be compulsory, since German's eco nomic interest will mainly lie In the Slav countries and in Spaniah Soum America. English will be taught mere ly for practical purposes." France Buys Wallowa Horses. WALLOWA, Or., Aug. 13. (Special.) French horse buyers are in Wallowa County, buying horses for the French army.
