Remarkable Record Establish
ed by HousehoIders Dur
ing the Cleanup Week.
GIGANTIC CRUSADE ENDS
WITH CITY MUCH CLEANER
Secretary Murray Of the Executive
Committee on Tour of In
spection Today.

Four thousand five hundred tons of
rubbish were deposited at the Benning
dump last week.
This is the remarkable record es-
tablished by citizens who during the
period from Monday until Saturday
last engaged in what is said to be
the most gigantic sanitary crusade
ever waged in the National Capital, if
not in any city in the world.
A report on the amount of refuse
hauled from premises in every section
of the city and deposited at the Ben
ming dump is being compiled today by
NJ. r. Ready, District contractor, and
probably will be submitted to the
cleanup committee officials tomorrow.
Mr.. Ready's figures show that his
wagons and those Of private teamsters
brought in approximately $50 tons Of
rubbish each day last week The con-
tractors conveyances averaged about
500 tons a day.

DR.. Murray went out on n tour of in

obtaining an idea as to the size of some
of the trash Accommodations which the
committee will remove at it's own ex-

the hiring of several teams, and tomor-

Otherwise Disposed Of.

The tremendous amount of trash
handled through this source does not be-
gin to represent the total quantity of
waste material disposed of during the
week, the cleanup leaders say. Tons of
rubbish We're deposited at private dumps
and disposed of in other ways. In many
instances citizens burned the trash col
lected on their own premises.
That Washington is cleaner than it has
been in years is the conviction of every
member of the cleanup committee. Re-
ports brought in by health department
inspectors and representatives OF the
various organizations which participated
in the campaign leave no room for doubt
that the undertaking was a complete
success.
This is to be a busy week for the eX-
ecutive committee especially. DR.. Muir
ray. secretary, is winding up the work
of the crusade. Teams are to be en-
ployed for carting away trash from many
sections of the city and a number of i'm
portant matters to be attended to, such
as checking up the reports of the various
agencies which co-operated with the COM
mittee.

This Talk Is for
YOU.
Mr.. Merchant.

The manufacturer who puts his
goods on your shelves and count
ers and then helps you sell these
goods by advertising YOUR
STORE as the place to buy them
deserves your hearty support and
cooperation.
You know as well as We do that
the only really efficient way to
create actual demand on your
store for these goods is through
the medium of the daily news
papers.
When a manufacturer uses the
newspapers that your customers
read to tell these customers that
you sell his product he is work
ing for you. and you should help
him all you can by pushing his
goods and meeting the demand at
least half way.
But when a manufacturer tries
to tell you that a general pub
licity" advertisement addressed to
the people of North America will
benefit your business, set him
right. Show him that the only
kind of advertising that will help
you is the advertising that is adj
dressed to the people Of this city.
Show him that the daily news
paper offers the one efficient way
of talking to EVERYBODY. Show
him that he cannot help himself
unless he helps You.

Refusal to Recognize Huerta
Administration Discussed
From Many Viewpoints.
DEFIANT OF PRECEDENT,
ACCORDING TO CRITICS
Accepted by Others as Disapproval
Of Government by Force
and Violence.

The United States is not in official rela-
tons with the present administration IN
Mexico, and has not in any direct or in
direct way acknowledged the Huerta
government
Optlining course toward Latin America
in the first days of the new adnllniStra-
ton, President Wilson enUnclated the
theory that government by force was not
to be encouraged While this announce
ment OF policy was not directed specifl-
cally at the Mexican situation-and was
even supposed to except MeXico-it is re-
garded by many as indicating the atti-
tude of the administration toward any
government established by violence, and
as explaining the delay in recognizing the
Huerta government.
The course Of the Wilson administra-
ton. say students of the relations with
Mexico, is at odds with precedent-even
precedent concurred in by precedin g
democratic administrations-in relations
with Mexico. Heretofore. it is held by
many. it has been the nations state pol
icy-no matter what party is in power
to recognize Immediately any new de
facto government in Mexico, and not to

eminent came into power.

Views of John Bassett Moore.


national law, who is to be counselor OF
the State Department when the Senate
confirms his nomination-proba bly, some
time this week-outlines this policy, it is
declared in his digest of information
law. DR.. Moore cites state papers OF
democratic and republican adminiStra-
tions-all subscribing to the same ma
tiOnal program and he also sets forth
the course of action taken, invariably it
is declared. giving prompt recognition OF
any de facto government in Mexico, eX-
cept where selfish considerations directed
Withholding of recognition. The two
exceptions affected the Macmillan en-
pire, which was never recognized by the
United States, and the presidency of
Diaz. of which recognition was withheld
for over a year because OF boundary dis
putes between the two nations.
The attitude of the Wilson administra-
ton is held by some to be enigmatic, in
view of these positively defined prece-
dents. 1t is not to be entertained as a
possibility that President Wilson is plan
ming some coup; Intervention is regarded
as the remotest thought of the admins
tration. AS In other matters of moment.
it may be that the President, with the
aid Of Secretary Bryan. is slowly and de-
liberately d:gesting the facts of the Next
can situation before proceeding.
The decay of recognition has been re-
garded in some quarters as justified by
Developments Yet those same develop
ments are ascribed in diplomatic circles,
where the subject is discussed, to the
attitude of the Wilson administration in
failing to recognize the Huerta admin
istration.
The Huerta government began it's ca
reer with the submission of many there
tofore irTeconcilable rebellious elements
and the prospects of speedy pacification
throughout the republic. The withhold
ing of recognition, it is argued, resulted
in new insurrectionists taking the field,
with confidence in the enmity of the
United States toward the Huerta gov
eminent. And the same failure of recog-
milton has made impossible a national
loan which would have enabled the HUI
erta government to undertake a pacif1ca-
ton movement on a large scale.
