WILL NOT INTERVENE
IN MEx|CO'S TROUBLE
WASHINGTON REITERATES PRO
HESITATION OF FRIENDSHIP.
Germany Predicts Final American In.
terference-Many Erroneous
Tales.

MISUNDERSTANDING the danger t,
Americans resident in Mexico from tn,
circulation of erroneous press dispatchei
telling OF proposed Intervention on thu
part OF the United States, the STATE
department issued another circular tC
its diplomatic and consular representa-
tives in Mexico, denying all foolish sto
res about American intervention, and
expressing the good will and sincerest
friendship OF the United States govern
ment for Mexico.
During the Madero revolution the
state department issued a similar cir
cular. Since the present trouble as
sumed serious propositions the depart
meHt has made every effort to stop sto-
rles OF prospective intervention by max
ing plain its policy towards the sister
republic.
The American representatives in Mex
leo have been instructed to circulate
the note in the local press and to use
every means to get the denial OF inter-
vention before the populace.
In the note the sincerest friendship for
Mexico and the Mexican people is ex-
pressed, with the hope that the blessings
OF peace will soon return to them.
Loose talk" by army officers, and
officials of the army on the situation in
Mexico also is a menace to the friendly
existing between that govern
ment and the United States, according
to Representative Slayden, of Texas,
member of the house military affairs |
In a speech in the house he |
protested against incendiary language
by certain officials, whom he did
not mention by name.
Il protested against the inexcusablo
effort to disturb the peace" he said,
this blatant, yellow journalism with
or semi-official approval"

DROVE LONG TRIP
WITH one NAND
HAPPY GROVER MADE RUN
FROM DETROIT TO ST. LOUIS IN
A CADILLAC IN THlRTY-THREE
HOURS ON A WAeER-MADE
NEW RECORD.

Using one hand only Harry Q
Stein Grover drove from Detroit to
ST. Louis recently and made a record,
covering the distance of 619 miles ! n
80 hours and 36 minutes. The best
previous record, even when the driving
was done in normal fashion with two
hands, was in the neighborhood OF
3S hours. Mr.. Growers achievement
has created widespread interest and
has been the subject Of a great deal
of comment.
Mr.. Grover is the st. Louis county
agent for the Bagnell Auto Co. and
his extraordinary trip was prompted
by a recent round-table discussion
over the merits Of the Cadillac car,
with special reference. to the simplicity
of its operation. Mr.. Grover waxed
thusiastic, describing at length the
ease with which the Cadillac is
driven, its remarkably efficient Delco
electric s~elf-cranking attachment. Re-
Gently he suffered a fracture of his
right arm In an accident. In the en-
thusiasm of his argument he allowed
that crippled as he was, he could
drive a Cadillac on a considerable
road tour, combining himself to n
hand.
The sporting blood Of Mr.. Growers
friends was aroused. w. F. Sieg-
mund, q prominent business man or
ST. Louis. wanted to make a wager
and the result was that $3.50 was put
up that Mr.. Grover could not driye
from Detroit to st. Louis. using only
one hand. Arrangements were made
to start the trip from the plant of
the Cadillac Motor Car Co. in Detroit,
so that a 1913 model might be used.
Mr.. Grover was accompanied to De-
troit by Mr.. Siegmund and Guy
Fisher, president of the Fisher Jewel
.ry Co. of ST. Louis, as these two gem
tlernen wanted to act as observers and
also partake in the fun. Mr.. Grover
secured a brand new 1918 car, right
from the factory. The start was made
from Detroit at / a. m, Monday, Aug.
10. The finish was made at 1924 a. M,
Tuesday, Aug. 20. Mr.. Siegmund and
Mr.. Fisher saw to it that Mr.. Grover
confined himself to his left hand. At
the conclusion of this record trip the
Bagnell Co. wired the Cadillac
Everybody gone wild over the new
car. Send us some more of them
quick or life won't be worth living"
