Washington Awaits Invasion.


WASHINGTON, D. c.. May G.-The
Mexican situation has reached such 1
lass that an invasion OF Mexico by
United States troops within n week
would cause no surprise here IN
Washington. Every hour American
iugitlres reach the Rio Grande. each
bringing tales Of horror.
Americans living In Mexico are he
inG butchered, and their bodies mutt
lated. Women are being outraged and
murdered. Men invited to Mexico by
former Mexicon governments are now
prescribed, and without warning, are
being put 10 death.
Instances are reported here oil
Americans being taken into custody
by the Mexican authorities. under the
pretext Of protecting them from the
mob. As soon as given up to the lying
authorities the unarmed Americans
were either put to death forthwith
or thrown out to amuse the mob.
Invasion Plans Near Completion.
These things. combined with the
enormous destruction OF American
property in Mexico. are forcing the
administrations hand. Plans for the
Invasion Of Mexico have for some time
been maturing and are now about
complete.
A short time ago 1t was supposed
that the forward movement OF Ameri.
can troops would take place before
June l. Now 1t is believed that a few
days or even hours may see the pass

tIon to the breaking point. They re-
peat the statements OF General Wood
that America has soldiers, but no
army; because United States soldiers
are not accustomed TO act together.
They believe that II America Is forced

ever, this nation will come out of the
disturbance with an army equal to
any In Europe.

Paris Learns Related Details of In-
 trepid Airman's Death

From Paris Cable to New York Times.
 What purport to be the details of tho tragic end of Hubert Latham, the pioneer aviator, who was gored to death by buffalo while shooting big game in French West Africa in June, have Just reached Paris. They show that to the last fatal moment he exhibited the imperturbable sangfroid which he always showed in mo-

 His first quarry was rhinoceros, which he fired on at 25 paces. The barrel of the gun. however was full of sand and exploded. The rhinoceros began to charge him, but eoolly handing the useless weap- on to native bearer he seized another gun and brought down the beast with ball in the ear.
 Soon afterward Latham encountered an enormous buffalo standing alone in a clearing. His first shot, fired at 20 paces, struck the animal in the breast. The maddened buffalo immediately charged fu- riously. The arman dropped on one knee. calmly took aim and fired. The gun, however, had not been loaded and the buffalo caught the intrepid hunter his horns and tossed him thrice high in the air killing him instantly. He died with out cry.
 That Latham seemed to possess no sense of danger was shown by an incident earlier in this fatal expedition. When in the coarse country he fired at 20 paces on rhinoceros, which Immediately rushed him. Waiting quite unmoved, the airman fired a second time at five paces, but missed. The animal knocked down the hunter. who was able. however, to avoid a fatal stroke from it's horns. his arm being only gashed.

 Perhaps one of the greatest problems confronting the board of education al the present time is the matter of the ed ueation of the negro youth of the city. Last year there were only 20 school build ings In use for the negro childrden, ten of them being owned by, the city and the

number of buildings for the education of the colored children. The Industrial High school has been doing excellent work, but the accommodations are limited. This question Is big one. but Birmingham is fortunate In having a big man back of the question.
 For 30 years pr. J. H. Phillips has oc- cupied the chair as superintendent of the Birmingham schools. During that period it's infancy until it passed from its swad- ding clothes and has grown to gigantic size. From that small start in the old Powell building the school system has

 The conditions in the Vivian schools last year were declared by the good people of that suburb to be deplorable and number of mass meetings were held to bring the matter before the board of edu- cation. II was stated that there was not nearly enough room for the children ard that the desks and accessories were those cast off by the other schools. However, in growing community 1t is impossible for all to have the very besr and the school officials are doing their level best to equalize conditions in all parts of the city.
 The J. B. Cunningham school in East Birmingham was used last year for the first time and growing need for more educational advantages was satisfied for that section of Birmingham. This school
