GENERAL REYES NOW is PARIS
GETS word FROM DIAZ
To RETURN HOME.
Will Aid in Attempt to Settle Revolu-
ton and Be of Such Aid as is Possible
to President Diaz and Mexican Peo-
ple-Don It Think Diaz Will Resign
Calls Him Grand Statesman.

Paris, April 25.-General Bernardo
Reyes, the Mexican former minister of
war, has received a call from President
Diaz to return at once to Mexico. Diaz
asks his aid in the attempt to settle
the revolution. General Reyes expects
to start for New York within a fort
night-perhaps within a week.
This is the distinguished soldier S
declaration. For many months General
Reyes has been living the life of a re,
tired officer, engaged in research work
on the problem of reconstructing the
Mexican army. Now all is changed.
The Reyes house in Neuilly-sur-S Seine.
on the border of the Bots du Boulogne,
is the center of intense activity. Men
are coming and going, and whispered
conferences are continually under way.
AS thousands of Sunday strollers We're
slipping beverages in the cafes near by,
General Reyes sat in his study, surround
ed by documents, bent over his desk,
arranging and discussing plans for his
new, and what he considers his greatest
mission.
81 am going home to help my coun-
try,' he said. CATER all, my mission
in Europe is terminated, and I am only
too happy to return to try to end the
present crisis. am going back to help
President Diaz and the Mexican PEG
ple."
AS he referred to Diaz, General
Reyes eyes shone. He is slender and
supple, and nervously energetic. One
hand continually stroked the pointed
gray beard. Reyes did not look old
enough to have fought against Maxi
milan in 1864.
"Diaz is grand man." he continued
ga grand statesman, who loves hi,
people. He is ready to make any sacri
flee to have peace, but do not believe
he will resign the presidency

EIGHT HOURS, LABoRERs ONLY
Rulingeby Attorney General of State
of Washington.

Olympia.-Muscle only, not mind, is
covered by the state eight hour law, ac-
cording to an opinion given recently to
the state labor commissioner by the
attorney general. Quoting the several
enactments of legislatures, the opinion
concludes:
"We think it may safely be said the
act does not apply to public officers nor
to those engaged in clerical work in
connection with public Offices or institu-
tons, 1t would also seem quite clear
that those employed in the state institu'
tions as attendants or nurses, guards or
foremen, are not within the provisions
of the act. The case of Waterman is
somewhat more difficult, but in our
opinion the act would not apply to one
employed simply to guard or care for
public property where the employment
does not necessitate the performance of
manual labor other than as incident to
the protection of property
