NEWS FROM OUR
NATIONAL CAPITAL
N0n.lnterventi0n Plan Adhered
To But Precautions
Are Taken

Washington.-The war department
has ordered the mobilization of the
Fifth brigade Of the army at Calves
ton for possible embarkation on tran
sports. The order is the result OF a
conference between President Taft
and Secretary of War Stimson.
Although 1t was emphasized that
the government contemplated no
change in it's non-intervention policy,
it was admitted that nearly 5000
troops would be held in Galveston, in
case of untoward developments.
Despite assurances from various
American consuls in Mexico that the
governors of Mexican states are ra-
pidly declaring their loyalty to Pro-
visional President Huerta, Secretary
of State Knox believes the present
quiet is only the calm before storm.
Net Weight Bill Passed.
Plain labelling of food packages with
the net weight and contents before
they are sold to the public is required
by a bill passed by the senate, which
already had passed the house. Slight
changes made by the senate will re-
quire a conference committee of the
two houses before the measure is sent
to President Taft for signature.
The proposed law would require the
net weight and measure of the food
product to be conspicuously displayed
on the outside of each package.
Webb Bill Not to Affect Individual.
The right of an individual residing
In a dry" state to import liquor for
his own use will not be restrained or
interfered with IL President Taft ap-
proves the Webb liquor-shipment bill
which recently passed both houses OF
congress. According to the advocates
of tho bill, the individual citizen liv-
ing In dry" territory will have all
the privileges he had prior to the pass
age of this bill, SO long as he does not
attempt to import liquor for sale con-
trary to the law of the state within
which. he lives. This being true, as
the friends of the bill assert, this
measure has been greatly misunder-
stood.
Women Worry congressman.
It is a serious job to be a member
Of congress these days, according to
plants that are resounding through
out the capitol. The burden Of the
legislators trouble is the suffragist
and the anti-suffragist controversy.
All congressman have been invited
to march with the votes for women
advocates on March 8. All have like
wise been quietly informed by the
ants that close watch will be kept
on their suffrage activity. The situa.
ton does not bother members from
equal suffrage states, but it Is giving
those from other commonwealth a
lot Of trouble to decide which camps
they will favor.
The anti-suffragists are conducting
q lobbying" campaign at the capitol
which adds to the woes of the legis-
lators.

only eight degrees, and it remained
around that point most of the day

TELLS OF "3UDD MEANS"
Rev. q e. Parker Directs Sermon to
Children.

The sermon preached at the First
Methodist church yesterday morning
was mainly directed to the children of
the congregation. The minister told
the story of Bud Mason's conversion,
narrated in the Hoosier School Mast e"
and said that when this rough boy
who had never had a chance resolved
to put in his best licks for Jesus
Christ" he got right down to the real
meaning of Christianity. Il is a life o.
best endeavor in the service of Christ.
The child belongs to Christ by virtue
of the atonement and 1t is wrong to
force an adult type Of experience on a
young child. He plead with the chill
dren to recognize the rightfu claim Of
Jesus Christ on their lives by giving
themselves unreservadly to His SER
vices.

Strength lies not in the alliances
that are formed with the world but
with the relances that are formed
with God" was the keywo-l of the ser

The first requirements for strength
is to know truth and carry it out q"
