Notable Relaxation From Tension Which Has Existed in Mexican Cap. nal-Huerta Plans to increase His Regular Army.

Mexico CiIy. Nov lS-By Presi. dent Huerta's friends. the attitude of the executive is described as one of expectancy and curiosity as to the prospective action by the United States, rather than one of anxiety. They say he has given no indication Of changing his mind about not re. signing and is proceeding with the affairs of the government with all eqHanimty
 They add that he regards IS prob able intervention by the United States and an order was sent today to the state governors to report inn mediately how many soldiers they can have ready by November 20. The official explanation Of this is that it is merely part of plan announced in a recent decree increasing the army 10 l50000 men
 The departure of Americans from Mexico eonsnues, although in de creasjng numbers. which indicates that the great majority of those in tending to leave already have gone. A train for Vera Cruz with scores of refugees aboard was held up tonight in the freight yards by the burning of several oil tank cars.
 Invitations to the opening of the Mexican congress have been sent to the diplomatic corps. The American charge daffaires, Nelson O'Shaugh- messy. dined tonight with Sir Lionel Garden at the first official dinner given by the British minister.

 The committees of the new con eress had under consideration for sev' eral hours today the credentials O the new members. President Hue1t is said 10 be preparing his message for delivery on Thursday
 There was a noticeable relaxation from the tension of the past lew days owing to a cessation of iGe rnmorS that the embassy was about to leave and ndicasiouis that no immediate action was intended at Vera Cruz

 TRANSFORMATION.

Philadelphia, Nov 1S.-AttoTneys for the Interstate Commerce Commis sion, who are conducting the inquiry into the rates and practices of the anthracite coal carrying railroads delved deep today into the subject ol transportation facilities Having in mind the merits of the complaints of independent coal shippers that the rates charged by the roads are unrea- sOnably high the examiners sought to determine what facilities were pro yided for the transportation of coal as compared with other commodities.
 Operating officials of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, the Lehigh Valley and the New York, Ontario and Western were placed on the stand and led through an exhaustive eXami- nation. They described the methods of concentrating coal at the mines the movement of coal trains to tide water. the tonnage handled the grades encountered and the terminal facilities.
 The information obtained will be used by the commission as the basis for comparing coal rates and general merchandise rates in connection with the service rendered and the profits derived in each case.
 The question of profits may be reached tomorrow if the commission can finish the examination of o2er- ating officials of the Erie Pennsyl yania and Reading, who are to appear at the morning session,

ANOTHER DAY. OF WAITING SHOWS NO CHANGE OF ATTi-
 TUDE TOWARD MEXICO.
REBELS WINNING VICTORIES
And This Leads Washington to Be. lieVe That the Constitutionalists Win Soon Be in Full Control of the Situation n Mexico.

" "9hihhtul NON. IJ.--ADSence or any evidence that fresh instructions had gone forward in Washington to John Lind or Charge 'Shaughnessy was understood in official circles here today to mark the advent of an. other period of waiting foc some de- cisive development in Mexico.
 In spite of all the rumors of block ades and intervention coming from Havana and Vera Cruz there has been no sign of any activity at the navy or war departments which might be expected to precede adoption of any such radical steps by the admin istration Moreover it has been in- timated in official quarters that only by direction of congress would such a step he taken
 Officials still decline to give any information as to what has been ac- complished by William Bayard Hale in his conference at Nogales with General Carranza and his constitu. tionalist cabinet.
 State department advices made public today indicated that the insur- rectionary movement is spreading rapidly, not only in the north of Mex. ico but to the south and east This last development is regarded here as very important, because the success of the constitutionalists in obtaining possession of the rich oil fields in the east and some deep water port on the gulf coast would enormously strength en them from a military point of view, the former insuring them a ful treasury and the latter an easy means of supplying themselves with num- tions of war from Europeans in the West Indies.
 The stase department is looking for news of the capture by insurgents of Victoria, capital of the state of which would complete the rebel control of the northern tier of Mexican states Consular reports today from Vera Cruz stated that all bridges between Tampico and Vic toria had been destroyed. train traf- fife totally suspended and the tracks to the north and south of Victoria torn up. The city is about 100 miles northwest of Tampico. and 1t is un- lerstood the safety of a considerable number of foreigners is threatened by the military operations there.
 The German cruiser Bremen ar rived yesterday at Tampico, the near est port to Victoria, to afford refuge 10 the Germans in that neighborhood who can reach the coast
 On the west coast the German cruiser Nuerenberg has been dispatch ed to San Bias to gather up German in that neighborhood who fled from Tepc. capital of the state of that name, before it was captured by the insurgents a few days ago.
 At the war department the strate- gists are puz2ling over the lack of activity by federal forces in Mexico who appear to have offered no sub stantial resistance to the triumphant southward sweep of the insurgents.

CORPORATION FARMING.
We Must Either Become Progressive
Farmers or Hire Ourselves to
Corporations.

Corporation farming is rapidly
coming into practice. Large cor
porations are buying great bodies
of land all over the south, and the
farmer who does not make his
business a study will soon be
crowded out.
Country Gentleman of Philadel-
phia, in an article on "Opportun-
ity in the South" says:
"Purchase of the plantations by
corporations, with definite ideas Of
organization development and op-
Grafton, seems to be the answer,
and such a plan, backed by big
money, can be made to show a
protlt."
A clipping glving an account OF
the purchase of a large body of
land in North Carolina for the pur
pose of farming it by corporation
says:
HYou have certainly bit the nail
on the head when you say that this
kind of farming is coming. 1t is
also true that CO operation between
farmers is the only way to meet
this kind of competition, and CO.
operation will not then be mat
ter of choice, but necessity"
Commenting on these, the Pro-
gressive Farmer says:
Once again we say to our South
ern farmers These are the signs
of the times. Get ready for the
new era. Big money sees the pos
sibility in Southern land, and it is
up to US to ''shoot, Luke, or give
up the gum" Farm land is be-
coming TOO valuable to remain 10
the control of ignorant or unpro-
ductiye labor. We must either
become progressive farmers or hire
ourselves to corporations that will
do progressive farming. There is
no other choice.

RELIGIOUS BODIES.
Important Work OF Great Denomlna.
tIOns in Convention Last Week.

Last week was notable by the
fact that some of the largest relig-
ious bodies of this country heldhis-
tory-making conventions.
In Atlanta three branches of the
Presbyterian church met in joint
session, the first ever held, at
which union was discussed. How.
ever, nothing definite along this
line was decided upon, the matter
being postponed for another year.
Certain clauses in the creed, which
have been troubling the church for
years, were discussed, but no
changes were made.
Negro evangelization held an
important place at the gathering.
While the Presbyterians were
discussing union at Atlanta, the
Southern Baptist Convention was
wrestling with church problems at
St. Louis.
Among the most important mat.
ters, from the general public view,
which was done by the convention
was the withdrawal from the Inter
national Sunday School Lesson
work. Hereafter, the Bsptists
will supply their own lessons.
Foreign missions took much of
the work of the convention, and
showed rapid development
along this line.
