may be adopted by both countries and
believes 1t will be a great step toward
the abolition of war. And, with war
practically impossible between the two
great English speaking nations, there
is every reason to hope, according to
the Presidents view that other ma
tions may come into such an agree
ment and thus make for universal
peace. The treaty is broad one, and

PRESIDENT is MERELY PREPAR-
ING FOR POSSIBLE
EMERGENCY.
Will NOT INTERFERE
EVERYTHING WILL BE DONE TO
MAINTAIN FRIENDLY RE-
LATIoNs.

Washington.-The Mexican situa-
ton has cleared considerably here.
The attitude of the United States gov
there need no longer be any doubt,
it was said by administration officials,
regarding the Presidents policy.
Mr.. Taft has announced he will do
everything possible to maintain friend
ly relations between this country and
Mexico. Any rupture must come as
the result of some overt act on Mexi-
can soil
The United States has no desire to
interfere in the internal affairs of
Mexico, and President Taft will not
recommend any such interference to
Congress unless circumstances permit
of no other possible -ourse.
The American troops were sent to
Texas and prepared for any emer-
gency on the strength of reports that
conditions in Mexico were approach
ing such chaos as at any time might
threaten American lives and property.
These reports were of such ma
ture that President Taft felt he could
uOL ldll 10 ue6u tueul. ne dClSu
quickly and hoped the threat of dan
ger would be stayed.
He believes this has been accom-
plished and that the presence of the
army in Texas, within striking dis
tance of the Mexican border, has had
a SOLDERING influence and that Ameri-
cans and American property will be
respected.
There will be no move toward the
Mexican border unless outrages SO fla
grant as to call for the presence OF 4
protecting force occur. Even then
President Taft would not think OF act
ing without the consent of Congress.
The limitations upon the power OF
the President to commit an act that
might be interpreted as an act Of war
are SO well defined that Mr.. Taft has
been amused at many reports as to
what he proposed to do with the army
after it was mobilized.
The President felt that 1t was his
duty to prepare for an emergency SO
that If Congress should be called upon
to act, its orders could be carried out
quickly.

Jose Yves Limantour, minister of fl

ferences which it is expected will re-
suit in the announcement within three
or four days of reorganization Of

present an explanation of the demands
of the revolutionists and the changes
in the official family of President
Diaz as well as the demands of the
present government. SO
With the Mexican ambassador and
the insurrectos aghast at Washington
declaring that American intervention
means union of rebels with Diaz to
fight the United States, and the am
bassador asking all MeXicans to get
together and work together for the
motherland. there is hope here that
the troubles of Mexico. will soon be
over. Official Washington and the dip
lomats here believe that the leaders
of the revolt and the Diaz government
will find common ground on which
to stand while reforms are planned
and grievances adjusted, the United
States meanwhile guarding the border
and keeping hands off.

PREyENTARLE FIRES.

THE United States suffers so heavily through
4 fire losses as compared with the old couu-
tries that organizations Of business men in va
rious cities have undertaken educational cam-
paign in protection against fire.
The Chamber of Commerce, of Rochester, N. Y,
sriSsuing series of booklets pointing out the
heavy loss because of preventable fires and the
need of individual FIRE prevention. What is sought
is, to interest YOU in fire fighting on your own
premises, 70 get you 10 investigate the conditions
that exist in your own Office, store, factory or
home with new sense Of personal responsibility
in the matter of fires
The idea of the Rochester Chamber Of Commerce
is admirable, for there is no doubt that the
tremely heavy loss sustained by the nation through
fires is due chiefly TO carelessness or ignorance.
One Of the Rochester booklets is devoted TO gas
oline and its dangers 1t mentions several instances
Of fires due TO carelessness in handling gasoline
woman in Chicago wishing quick fire poured
gasoline on the fuel in the stove and put down
the can in far corner of the room. She struck
q match and started the FIRE, but in instant the
can exploded, and she was fatally injured. She
did not know that an unseen train of gasoline
might lead straight from the match TO the distant
can.
Another woman poured some gasoline in a mar
bic wash bowl and placed a silk waist in il. She
closed the door and returned in ten minutes. Then
she rubbed the silk between her hands, and this
generated sufficient electricity to make a spark.
The gasoline exploded the house burned down and
the woman perished.
Instruction in the use Of gasoline would pre-
vent fires and loss of life.

ROADS IN THE SOUTH.

THE Southern Appalachian Good Roads Asso-
i citation is TO hold convention at Roanoke
Va, next month and delegates will attend from
Virginia, North Carolina South Carolina, Iennes-
see, Georgia, Kentucky and West Virginia.
Since the organization Of the association in 1909
the good roads movement has received an impetus
in the southern states and many interstate roads
are being surveyed or constructed.
One feature of the program r-the convention
will consist of a question box which will be OF
especial interest to the delegates, inasmuch as it
will enable the individual delegates 10 ask ques-
tons relating TO problems of road construction and
maintenance met with in his Nown particular To-
caty, and such questions will be answered and dis
cussed by road experts. Among the questions
which can thus be discussed and possibly some
new light thrown on are those relating to loca-
ton, grade drainage, surfacng material, culverts,
dust preventives, tar and asphalt macadam, use Of
convicts in public road construction, state aid to
counties and use OF wide tires.
Two southern Senators have introduced bills into
Congress calling for Federal appropriation for
good roads, and there is no doubt that the time
will come when the government will render such
aid.
