Refers to Merchant Marine.

Secretary Wilson, who spoke in place
Of Secretary of Commerce Redfield, said
that a well-balanced navy in time of war
is not necessarily a well-balanced navy
in time of peace. 1t is necessary to have
preponderance of the vessels which it
takes long time to build. he said. and
it is necessary to. have enough skilled
men to man the ships. We have not
enough now. he declared. and this is
partly because of the poor condition of
our merchant marine
The merchant marine Of the United
States has dwindled. he said, because
the cost of building vessels is greater in
the United States than elsewhere, and
because the cost of operating them is
greater Under some of our treaties. he
said. the advantage is given to foreign
ship owners. 1t is not necessary, he
declared, to pull down the wages OF
American workmen. but the wages OF
foreign workmen should be put up.

BUT U. 8. IS READY FOR WAR
Washington, Aug. 9.-The speed of
the battleship New Hampshire has
been reduced so that Special Repre-
sentative John Lind will not land at
Vera Cruz until late today.
Lind is being kept advised by wire
less from the Arlington of every step
being taken both here and in Mex
leo City.
President Wilson knows that John
Lind is the equal of General Huerta
in physical courage at least, and will
not be deferred by any threat from
carrying out his orders.
Charge D'Affaires O'Shaughnessey.
has served notice on Huerta that his
attack on Lind and his mission are
an affrOnt to peaceful sister nation.
Lind has made it plain to the Mexi-
can foreign Office that, while it NAV
do as it pleases so far as accepting
the plan presented by Lind, it will be
held responsible for any affront to
the man who is the unofficial repre-
sentative of the President of the
United States.
Lind will land at Vera Cruz late
today. He will proceed to Mexico
City tomorrow. Monday, through
Charge D'Affaires O'Shaughnessey,
he will transmit President Wilson's
message to General HUerta.
The result is doubtful. President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan believe
Lind will be successful. The few
United States senators who know
Lind's mission are doubtful. The
rank and file of officialdOm believe
war imminent. If the Presidents
hopes Of a peaceful solution prevail,
his advisors believe it will be only be-
cause of his proverbial luck.

if federal reinforcements do not ar

losses of the rebels have been heavy,
but they are being constantly rein

No fear is felt here for the safety
of John Lind. The people of the cap
ital have made no threats of a demon
stration against him. President
Huerta has said he will do everything
possible to safeguard President Will
sons representative while he is in
Mexico. OF course, Lind will not be
recognized by Huerta unless he
brings Huerta recognition. But he

There has been no display of anti
American feeling here. It is not be-
Heved there will be any.
