A request for American Intervention
In Mexico was made unon the War De-
partment when the mayor and a dele

urgently asked Secretary Stimson to
sent troops into Juarez to preserve or
der and to protect Americans.
President Taft, speaking at the
peace meeting of the Navy league in
Washington declared the time had not
come for this country to be economi-
cal at the expense of an adequate
naval establishment; expressed the
hope that the present Congress would
authorize the construction OF two bat.

the administration. which will be sim.

THAT AN UNUSUAL sITuA-
TIoN is INVOLVED.


Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Ell Paso, Tex.-A small detachment of
company X. Texas State militia. en-
gagged in guarding the Ell Paso cleo
trio light plant, was fired upon by par
ties concealed behind box cars and
said to be Mexicans. Maxim silencers
were used on the guns and more than
twenty shots we're fired. one bullet
passing through the hat of one of the
guardsmen.
The forces Of Campas have arrived
on the river bank. opposite old Fort
Bliss. and about one and a half miles
northwest OF Juarez. Thew are sup
posed to be extending wing around
the west side of the city
Washlngton.--Gene turbulence in
northern Mexico, menacing the lives
and interests of Americans along the
border drew from the Washington
government definite plans for self pro-
lection,
Capt Malin Craig of the general
staff was ordered from San Francisco
to; investigate the conditions in the
Imperial valley and along the Callfor-
mia border. Two companies OF the
Fourth cavalry were dispatched to
Douglas and one company to Nogales,
two points in Arizona which suffered
during the last revolution.
To the Texas border were sent no
more troops. but reports from Ell Paso
gave War Department officers a dis
quieting day. At first there were
rumors of actual fighting, but later
they proved to be groundless, though
foreshadowing the maneuvers of the
rebel forces in the vicinity of Juarez.
Admittedly there are complications,
both foreign and domestic, which
hamper forceful action on the part of
this government. To relieve this en-
barrassment somehow Senator Stone
introduced a resolution similar to the
one which he presented last May, des-
ignated to give the President author
ity to send troops across the border to
prevent firing into American territory.
AS for diplomatic entanglements that
might result form such action, State
Department officers have been giving
carefu attention to precedents so as to
meet any protests from Mexico.
Senator Stone gave notice that he
would speak on his resolution and
would press its consideration by the
Senate. He is understood to be act
ing in cooperation with the White
House.
President Taft is in constant touch
with the situation through the War
Department and State Department Of
ficers. The administration would not
welcome an issue that might force 1t
to send troops across the line. not only
because Of an indisposition to exercise
such power against friendly ma
tion, but also out of regard for the
safety Of Americans in Mexico. who.
1t is feared. might be objects of attack
by those inflamed at what might ap-
pear to them to be an invasion.
The United States considers that an
unusual situation is involved. Forces
have been landed in other countries to
protect American lives and property.
when officers appeared unable to do
SO, in spite OF revolutionary factions.
but not in defiance of the protests Of
the titular government.

A Theatrical Plant.
Nv dear Miss Door

MY QedI MISS DUOI+
I am a constant reader of your column,
and would like you to please publish this.
A few friends and myself attend the
Orpheum Theatre every week and like the
plays very much. Now, Miss Doom. did
you ever rear of people a%pplauding for
every actress and actor when he or she
enters? And not only that. but they
applaud fQr the least little thing during
the performance, which is very, very an
noying and spells an evenings pleasure.
l think the management ought to a
this In Sand see that there is better
order kept Hoping to. see an answer In
The Evening Star, l remain.
A. LOVER OF PLAYS.
Well, there is something to be said
on both sides. To some it is very dis.
concerting to have the actors
lay aside their play charac-
tiers at their entrance in order to ac-
knowledge the applause of the au-
dience; to others the delight in seeing
their favorites heartily welcomed is
ample compensation for the break in
the play. I admit that when the APP
plause is indiscriminate it is very an
noying. I doubt, however that the
manager will take the matter up, as 1t
is gratifying to him to have his evil
dence of the popularity of his company
and pleasing to the actors to feel that
their work is appreciated by their regu-
lar patrons.

A Trip to the Navy Yard.

My dear Miss Doom:
Will you kindly tell me If 1t Is safe for
a girl to go to a ~navy-yard with her
mother or father? Don't you think that
the men only treat fresh girls in Q
mean way. Some of my friends say that
it ISM 5safe.for a girl to go even with
her parents. Will you kindly answer
before Saturday? Thanking you every
much. 1 am. yours very respectfully,
D. c..
I think your friends are very foolish
to put such ideas into your head.
There is no reason whatever why you
should not accompany your mother OF
father to the navy yard, and, In fact,
there is every reason why you should.
1t is both instructive and interesting,
and l wish more young people would
take advantage of this and similar
means If education which lie almost
at their door.
Of-course, fresh girls find 1t hard
to gain the respect of men. but there is
absolutely no connection between that
type of girl and a visit to the navy
yard. OF course, If she goes there with
the intention of trying to attract the
men she should give up her trip to
that and all places in which mel are
at large. If the navy yard were not
safe for you your father and mother
would be the last ones to wish to take
you there. Remember that no matter
where you are dignity and reserve are
safe guides to conduct.

To Clean Corsets.

Dear Miss Doom:
Would you kindly let me know what is
good to clean 'corSets without washing
them? They are a good pair, only slightly
soiled. l was told I could get them
cleaned downtown some place, but l
thought you might be able to tell me of
something that would clean them. Hoping
to hear from you. and thanking you in
advance, I remain, MISS M. R.
Why do you object to washing them?
Soap and water and a scrubbing-b brush
will clean them beautifully, and, If
dried quickly, there will be little
danger of their rusting. They can also
be washed with gasoline and a scrub
bing-brush. Be careful when using the
gasoline not to be in a room where
there is a fire, gas or any other open
flame. These are the only two ways
1 know of getting them thoroughly
clean. The spots a probably be re-
moved by rubbing them with block
magnesia, but the corsets will not have
the fresh, white appearance hat will
be theirs after a washing.

< Are You Fat?

You know you cannot stay fat. don't
you? That is, you cannot be fat and be
in style. The day when a fat woman was
tolerated is passed. Nowadays all women
must be in proportion or be ridiculous.
This does not mean you should become
skinny, however. You should not get be-
low the hard flesh line. All you ought to
lose is the bulky fat. That done you will
find yourself to be a well-formed and
therefore handsome woman.
Now, how can this be done? BY exer-
cising and dieting? Yes, and no. These
two means will bring some results. but
not easily nor soon. One is very hard
work; the other is torture. Besides,
neither can be depended on to cause a
uniform reduction. They may take off a
feshy shoulder, for example, and leave the
double chin untouched. What you need
you see. is something pleasant to take
that without injury to your health will
take the. fat off uniformly and quickly.
