Writer In Leslie's Weekly Sees Good
in Everything That Has Quail
fcatlon Of Size.

Big! II Is said that the soil that
produces big crops is found where big
men abound After all bigness is
something OF which every one Is
proud California boasts Of its big
trees, Oregon and Washington Of their
big apples, Texas Of its big territory,
Oklahoma of its big oil wells, Colorado
of its big mines. New England of its
big mills, Alabama of its big iron de-
posits, Pennsylvania of its big steel
industry and New York Of its big
banks. Everywhere bigness is the boast
Of civilization. Nations vie with each
other to command the biggest part Of
the worlds trade. In this great strug-
gle for commercial supremacy the
United States, during the past decade,
has been among the foremost because
Of its big men in the industrial, the
railway and professional fields. The
product Of this bigness Of men
has been a big country with big
wages. Let us stop caviling and
finding fault. Let us put and end to
busting and smashing, and give the
widest opportunity for individual eff
fort. Encourage bigness of the fac
tory and the pay envelope alike. Give
big brains a chance, whether in bank,
counting room or workshop. Bigness

such marks of punctuation were in.
troduced into law only half a century
ago. Down to 1850 all acts of parlia
ment consisted, in theory at all events
of one sentence. In that year a spe-
cial statute was passed to allow the
text Of legislative enactments to be
punctuated and pointed by full-stops
etc. They are so easily interpolated
and altered that lawyers know their
danger and avoid them in legal docu.

CARRANZA MAY
JOIN CONFERENCE
Reports Say He Will Agree To
All But ArmistiCe.
HUERTA ORDERS BLOCKADE.
Dlctator's Declaration OF Retirement
Said To Have No Strings At.
tached, AS Has Been
Thought.

Washington, d. C.-Unoficial re
ports say that General Carranza, chief
of the revolutionary forces in Mexico,
was willing to participate in the media
tion conference at Niagara Falls on
condition that there should be nc
armistice between his forces and the
Huerta government and that Mexican
internal questions should be consider
ed which concern only such affairs as
had been developed by the American
occupation of Vera Cruz.
officials here would not discuss the
situation in the absence of direct in
formation.
The Foreign Office sent a note to
the legations notifying them that the
port of Tampico had been blockaded
by order of President Huerta.
Despite alarmist reports from many
sources, arising because OF the ship
ments Of arms to the Constitutionalists
at Tampico from United States ports,
there was no apprehension apparent
ment heads seemed to be confident
that General Huerta would not attempt
to blockade the port of Tampico
against the delivery by the Cuban
steamer Antllla of arms for the Con-
stitutionalists. The American State
Department, 1t was pointed out, was
fully satisfied of its right to prevent
such blockade of the port by Huerta's
ships.
In consequence of these develop
ments II was expected here that there
would be no interference either on the
part of the United States or General
Huerta with the landing of ammuni-
ton at Tampico from the steamship
Antilla. Admiral Badger reported
from Vera Cruz that Huerta's gun
boats were at anchor in Puerta Mexico
harbor and at Alvarado.
A big cargo Of arms for the Consti-
tutionalists was landed at Tampico
while Admiral Mayo's flag lieutenant
stood by, but took no action.
The arms were from the Sushine,
from Galveston.
Notice was given the American Con-
sui at Tampico of the proposed block
ade so that warships could keep out
of the line of fire.
That there are no strings to Huerta's
declaration that he will get out when
assurances of a pacfied Mexico are
given was announced by Rabasa, of the
Mexican delegation. Huerta is will
ing to accept a provisional govern
ment.
A fourth conference of Americans
and Mexicans was held Subjects un
der discussion were those developed in
the early meetings.
The mediators are said to be ready
to agree even with Carranza.
The proposition from the A b C
mediators to General Carranza merely
requests the participation of the Con-
stitutionalists in the Niagara Falls
conferences to settle the Mexican diff
Hculty. 1t embodies no specific re-
quest that General Carranza discuss
either internal or International ques-
tions, nor does 1t even specify that an
armistice between the revolutionists
and the Huerta troops must be estab-
lished, according to the version given
here.
