WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.--Ameri.
cans are fleeting from Mexico on
every steamer Advices to the state
and navy departments today proved
this conclusively AS result this
government is rapidly securing de.
cidedly strategic advantage. Should
the mission Of Special Envoy John
Lind fail, and a majority of those In
official life believe it must. the en-
barge of arms for insurgents can be
removed without fear of blood re-
prisals of innocent Americans.
So far the moves on the diplomatic
chess board In Mexico City have all
been with Lind. He reached the city
without being molested He confer
red with the minister of foreign af-
fairs as plain American citizen. al
Though warned he would not be re-
lceived unless officially accredited.
$50 far his every act has been inform

lin his mission. He must initiate
plan of mediation II that is one meth
lod planned to restore peace And II
lis believed almost certain that II he
takes this step he will be sternly re-
}buffed. Lind may find some other
lway out.
) That is the real hope of President
{ Wilson and Secretary Bryan. They

/ And II as q result the Huerta fol-

S the support among the better element
L among the constitutionalists then an

d Iment would not hesitate a second TO
i recognize any Mexican president who
l. could show a commission from the ma
: tion's electors.
u But If Lind fails and the embargo
. ON arms is raised SO the rival rae
9 tions can settle supremacy, this gov

II the country. So conslils and repre-
y sentatives have been directed to per-

sible for the market dealing with the
brokerage firms named In the Fraw-
ley committee evidence She Is said |
to have explained the deals that Sui
zer, in his one brief answer to the
Frawley charges, said he never heard
of and Mrs Sulzer is reported to have
admitted he knew nothing about them
until she told him.
Friends of the governor frankly
admitted today they did not know
what to make of this eleventh hour
attempt to save him. The Tammany
assemblymen declared that they put
no credence in the story attributing
1t solely to the hasty act of LOVING
wife willing to make any sort of sac.
rifice for her husbands sake.
After Humans motion for an ad-
journment was voted down, Levy
then spoke for three solid hours, kill
ing time until an absentee could ar
rive from Brooklyn When finally
the man appeared there was a hasty
arousing Of sleepers and counting OF
noses, and when the Tammany lead
ers were satisfied that they had the
required majority on hand there was
a rush to take the vote. Over the

Money by Parcel Post.

To test the efficiency and safety Of
the parcel post, a silver dollar, fast
ened to a card by two strips Of paper
was sent to member Of the Dispatch
staff It reached IFS destination in
good time.
The fact that money can be sent
through the mails in this way may
force the government to make some
new postal regulations, 5r stand the
chances Of losing on its money order
business. For instance, the cost for a
postal money order for $50 Is twenty
cents. BY sending it through the par
eel post and having it insured, the
charge is only 10 cents. In other words,
almost any amount Of money as long
as it doesn't weigh too much can be
sent by parcel post for trivial sum
and insured for ten cents. st. Paul

The cause of Janesville's disastrous
fire is believed by the Fire Chief to
have been Of incendiary origin. Other
theatres advanced are that the cause
was a gas explosion, or the throwing Of
lighted cigarette or cigar stub into
waste basket. Anyhow it resulted in
an immense loss, not half covered by
insurance and has left GAINESVILLE with
the problem Of building a costly new
bridge.
Will the creditors Of the collapsed
bank take the next dividend now or

that they could have received approx

at that time was quite unsatisfactory
to many. Now even a 5 per cent diyi-
dend is getting to look bigger and more
uncertain with each day
The prosperity Of a town is not

but by the uniformity with which they

do more for its upbuilding than che
