The LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

The Huerta officials and Admiral
Fletcher arranged for the safe depar.
ture Of Americans from the Mexican
capital and the free exodus of Mexi-
cans from Vera Cruz.
The mediators resented public re-
ports that one of the underlying pur-
poses of their good Offices was to bring
about the elimination of Huerta.
Many American refugees were taken
from trains and imprisoned at Aguas-
calientes.
Acceptance Of good Offices is in no
way binding on either party to agree
to any conditions, but 1t opens a way
for discussion of proposals of media
ton.
Plans we're considered for mobiliza-
tion Of the National Guard under the
Volunteer Army act in the event of
necessity to raise volunteer force.
The Japanese Premier announced
that Japan has no intention whatso-
ever Of utilizing the present trouble
between the United States and Mexico
to secure from the United States a
satisfactory settlement Of the Califor.

The reply Of the President, made
through the Secretary of State to the
diplomatic representatives, was as fol-
lows:
"The Government of the United
States is deeply sensible of the friend

joint note just received from your Elk.

your Government to effect, is possible,

States and those who now claim to rep.
resent our sister Republic of Mexico.
Conscious of the purpose with
which the proffer is made, this Gov.
ernment does not feel at liberty to
decline IT, Its chief interest is in the
peace Of America, the cordial inter.
course Of her republic and their peo.
pie and the happiness and prosperity
which can spring only out of frank,
mutual understandings and the friend
ship which is created by common pur-
pose.
"The generous offer Of your govern.

"This Government hopes most
earnestly that you may find those who
speak for the several elements Of the
Mexican people willing and ready to
discuss terms Of satisfactory and,
therefore, permanent settlement. II
you should find them willing, this
Government will be glad to take up
with you for discussion in the frank
est and most conciliatory spirit any
proposals that may be authoritatively
formulated and will hope that they
may prove feasible and prophetic of
new day of mutual cooperation and
confidence in America.

The parallels Of Jesus are marvels
OF unity and condensation, yet no nee
essary detail is omitted. This, per.
haps his most famous, is no excep-
tion even though It does carry dou-
BILE lesson. Who thinks of the older
brother when this story Is mentioned?
Though designated the STORY of the
Prodigal,' we need to remind our
selves that the word "prodigal' never
once occurs In the story. The open
Ing sentence speaks of Q father and
Of two sons. It is really the parable
Of a perfect father, the unveiling Of
the true heart Of God. Against that
background Is set off a self-centered
son lacking In natural affection. Also
alongside the wayward son is the mis-
erly, selfish one who lacked all the
good qualities of his brother, but who
was truly a wapderer and out of har.
mony with God the Father. In the
background we sec the citizens OF
the far country who helped this young
Jew to his place Of want, famine and
degradation. Remember, II is our
Lord speaking to Jews. When the
Gentiles of the far country sent him
to feed swine they insulted him by
compelling him to get his living
through an occupation instinctiyely
repulsive.

Washington, d. C.-Spanish Am
bassador Riano received advices from
Mexico City stating that General
Huerta had accepted the offer Of Ar.
gentina, Brazil and Chile to use their
good Offices to bring about an amicable
settlement of the difficulty between the
United States and Mexico.
The interests of the Huerta Govern
ment in the United States were taken
up by the Spanish Embassy when
Charge d'Affaires Algara asked for his
passports and left Washington for
Canada.
Ambassador Riano received the offer
of good offices from the three peace en-.
voys after the offer had been accepted
on the part Of the United States by
President Wilson. 1t was cabled at
once to the Spanish Minister at Mexico
City and by him presented to President
Huerta.
When the formal acceptance from
Mexico City is In hand the South
American diplomats will be ready to
proceed with their plan, no intima.
tion Of the nature of which as yet
has been given.
1t has been generally understood
here, however, that the peace ENJOYS
expect to deal directly with the sltua-
tion created by the resentment by the
United States Government against the
Tampico incident and other offenses
against its honor and dignity, hoping
to bring about a peaceful settlement.
Administration officials here appear.
ed to be much gratified at the pros
pect of having the proposals of the
great South American republics lis
tened to by General Huerta. Until the
nature Of the plan is known, no officer
Of the Administration will have any
comment to make.

AIRsHlP FLIES OVER VERA CRUZ.
Naval Aviator Circles Outskirts and
Observes Position OF Mexicans.

Vera Cruz.-An aeroplane from the
American fleet made a flight over Vera
Cruz. On attaining an altitude of sew.
eral hundred feet the naval aviator
circled the city and then passed over
the outskirts and observed the position
of the Mexicans Federal forces. Ameri-
can naval officers on duty in the city
became convinced after an investiga-
tion of the sniping that they had to
deal with secret organization which
posts snipers after dark at points
where their fire is most effective.
MeXlcans desiring to reach the in.
terror from Vera Cruz are to be eX.
changed for American refugees who
wish to reach the coast.
Admiral Fletcher's declaration Of
martial law at Vera Cruz is approved
by officials here who realize his diff
culties with housetop sharpshooters
and concealed enemies. While eX-
treme measures will be adopted to en-
force order in Vera Cruz, to hold the
waterworks and necessary points in
the vicinity Of the city, to insure pro-
lection of the inhabitants, no further
steps ofaggression will be taken whllo
peace plans are being considered.
