San Francisco, Cal., July 12. (U.
P.) "To Intervene In Mexican affairs
at the present time, using our own
mistakes aa a basis for Intervention,
would be a blunder which, among other
nations, would tend to destroy all our
moral prestige," said Dr. David Starr
Jordan today upon hie return from an
Interview at the border with promi
nent Mexicans with a view to adjust
ing Mexican troubles.
Dr. Jordan declares that Investiga
tion shows the Mexican revolutionary
movements are a necessity in the mod
ernizing of the government by the
elimination or archaic and harmful
remnants of the old Spanish regime.
In the states not affected by the war
there Is entire order, schools have
been established, prohibition has been
put Into effect by some states and a
:iew growth of constructive citizen
ship is evident. Even In the war-
ridden states, says Jordan, a start ror
order has been made, and out of the
revolutions has grown a desire to
make Mexico pay its own way Instead
ot borrowing money at ruinous rates.
Jordan advocates the patrol of the
border by both American and Mexican
troops.

Frederick Vinlng Fisher, the eminent

loud applause.
Mr. Fisher based his peaice plan on,
universal brotherhood, regardless or

he said.
"They may call us by different

London Admits Germans Have
Retaken Ground in Ivtametz
and Trones Woods,
" London, July 12.- il. N. R.) Big
gunR and bayonets have botli been
brought Into play by the British In a
hot attack at Loos, where Grman
trenches were penetrated last night, as
the first effort in what is believed to
be the real British objective, a smash
through Loos and Lens for 1411s.
. Tbs news, of tbs great offniive,s
spread northward trom tht BOBi-
gton was officially given out toUsjr lit
the regular statement It read:
"The Germans have regained ground
in the Mamets and Trones woods..
Further northward, however, the Eng
lish h-ive opened an offensive lu the
region of Loos, and succeeded in fene
tratlng Oerman trenches."
Germans Are Reinforced.
"Southward of Loos, the Royal Fust
leers penetrated the German trenches,
remaining there 20 minutes. Opposite
the liohensollern redoubt two compa
nies of the Seaforth Highlander! en
tered the German trenches, killing
their occupants and destroying their
machine guns."
Admission of the German successes
in the official statement was coupled
with claims that great accessions had
been nude to the Teuton strength in
the Bom me region. The statement
said on this point:
"Mnce the commencement of thi
bettle the enemy has been largely re
lnforced. Yesterday and last niglil
attacks were made on our new po
lions at several points. Except in
Mametz and Trones woods, in both of
which the Germans regained ground,
all attacks were repulsed with hea.y
losses to the enemy.
Hew Phase Begins.
"Between the main battlefield and
the sea we are bombarding the
enemy's positions and raiding his
front."
Shifting of the British offensive to
Loos, which has been predicted by
military observers for some time, wan
believed today to have ushered in a
new phase of the struggle on the
western front. It was pointed out
that the tactics used before the bumme
advance were again being brought into
play to the north and a series of
smashes from the present fighting
front to the sea was asserted to be a
certainty of the near future.
In the opinion of many critics, a big
drive along the coast east of Nieuport
is likely. Such a smaih wouid have
strong support from the guns of bat
tleships along the coast and their fire,
coupled with the present preponderance
of strength of the British in big land
guns, would probably make an advance
to the east less costly in life than a
drive of corresponding importance any
where against tne lines of the Ger
mans throughout Belgium or France,
where their defense works are of the
greatest strength.
When the great offensive was first
Inaugurated the public believed it was

and most persons who are competent
to Judge, now think the British plan
is to gain grouna. in a series of
