Wilson's Emissary Reports Result of
His Conference With German,
Russian and Norwegian Min
listers at Vera Cruz.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Reports from
John Lind, President Wilson's per
sonal representative in Mexico, con-
corning his recent conferences il
Vera Cruz with the Russian, German
and Norwegian ministers to Mexico
conveyed the impression to President
Wilson that there was a disposition
on the part of those diplomats to CO.
operate with the United States in
lending their support to the plans OF
the Washington government for solv-
ing the situation.
No announcement was made here
as to any future policy. Administra-
tion officials did take occasion, how
ever, to say that published stories
forecasting armed Intervention were
not justified, that there was nothing
IN the situation to warrant such ali
assumption.
Rebel Emissary Arrives.
The arrival OF Roberto V. Pes
quiera, an emissary from Gen. Car
rama, the corStitutionalist chief,
raised the question whether the
Washington government would re
ceive representations from the consti-
tutionalists.
President Wilson made it clear to
those who discussed the situation
with him that officially the govern
ment could not receive any formal
representations. but that in some way
or other the information which the
constitutionalists desire to lay before
the American government would be
received.
In that connection it became known
that the constitudonalists at a recent
conference of chiefs, decided not to
ask recognition of belligerency, but to
request that there be no interference
on the part of the United States IA
their own efforts to solve the situa-
tion by arms. The constitutionalists
want tAe embargo on arms removed
so that all factions may be supplied
on an equal footing. The president
has been petitioned to remove the
embargo.
John Lind conferred at Vera Cruz
with the Norwegian, German, Rus
sian, French and Spanish ministers
to Mexico. 1t is said the foreign en-
voys were instructed to confer with
Lind by their home governments.
President Wilson is ready to de-
mand the elimination of Huerta un-
der penalty. This demand will be
made as soon as the president re-
ceives officially from Mexico City
definite announcement as to Huerta's
1t is expected Huerta will
be prepared to announce his plans in
a few days If IIuerta does not make
an announcement within a reasonable
length of time-within the present
Wilson will then in
form him that the United States gov
ernment is prepared to take such
steps as it deems wise in bringing the
present disturbed condition to an end.
He will follow with a demand that

DID GREAT THINGS AS BOYS
Notable Instances Of Those Who

Their Youth.

1t is we'll for us to remind ourselves
not infrequently of the historical fact
that some Of the greatest achieve
ments in the world have been made
by youth, and it will always be so In
human history. David had expert
enced some of the greatest emotions
before he was twenty. and was king
at the age of eighteen. Raphael had
practically completed his life work at
age of thirty-seven. He did no great
artistic work after that age. James
Watt even as a boy as he watched the
steam coming out of the teakettle,
saw In 1t the new world OF mechani-
cal power made possible by the old
element turned and driven by a sim
pie appliance. Cortez was master Of
Mexico before he was thirtysix
Schubert died at the age of thirty-one.

haps he called In some ways the most
enhancing melody ever written.
Charlemagne was master Of France
and the greatest emperor Of the world
at the age Of thirty. Shelley wrote
Queen Nab when he was only twenty
one, and was master Of poetry before
he was twenty-five. Patrick Henry
was able to shape the revolutionary
history Of a new country before he was
thirty, and astonish the world by his
oratory before he was twenty-six years
old. At the age of twenty-forr Ruskin

AMBITIONS OF
DR.. MONTESSORI
Italian Educator Whose System Of
Educating Children Seems to
BIO a Great Thing.

NEW YORK. Dec. 26-Dr. Maria
Montesseri, the great italian educator
of children who comes to this coun-
try to teach her system for the up,ift
OF the human race through the m =
dunn Of consistent education today
told the United Press of her aims
and ambitions of the fundamental
phases of her methods. Miss Anne
Il. George, director of the work for
the Montessori Educational Associa-
ton in America interpreted for the
educator who does not speak English.
No system of education can be told
in few words or In a few hundred
words" said DR. Montessoti. II have
told of my method in my books and
yet | find that the same thing must
be told over and over again In differ
ent words to fit different cases Wits
which / have to deal. I might say
that my method is one which leads
the child to teach itself The teach ar
is not teacher-merely a director
OF the activities of the childs mind,
body and general temperament SO as
to bring out the things which are
naturally within the child but not
brought out by the average system
of education.
