Although nothing definite has yet been

will have a conference with DIR. s'lexner
regarding his reported discovery.
Officials of the public health service ex-

germ, for they realize that such discov-

8HUERTA WILL PROBABLY
CHANGE HIS MIND.

A well authenticated report comes
from the City Of Mexico, that Huerta
intends to snub John Lind, Presi.
dent Wilson's peace envoy. The
4 Mexican usurper may do as he says,
but it is far more probable that he
will change his mind before the
battleship New Hampshire anchors
In the harbor of Vera Cruz. Amer
lean soldiers and sailors dressed in
their fighting clothes visited the
Mexican capital in 1s47, and some of
the old settlers of that ancient city
may remind Huerta of what happened
at that time, and what may happen
again if the provocation becomes I'M
bearable.
The sons of the men who scaled
the heights OF Chapultepec do not
want any trouble with their dark face
neighbors south of the Rio Grande.
They viii resort to force only as a
last resort, but If Mexico provokes
another war, with this country, Mex
leo will be given another shrink.

The aid Of the treasury is needed,

The few jealous organs Of monopoly

themselves that Mr.. McAdoo had
committed blunder, and that the.
government deposits would actually

welcome, and the question now is
whether more than $50,000,000 viii

At the same time it is realized
that excessive deposits might encour-
age initiation and s. culation. It IS,
Therefore, necessary to provide for

the speci-' seasonal demands have
been met. With prudent management,
the danger of initiation should be en-
tjrely eliminated. AS some of the
western bankers point out, the South

the same millions will do duty twice

While many things undoubtedly
contribute to increase the cost Of

It is quite probable that the middle
men, the men who stand between the
producers and the consumers, are
the chief offenders. There is a grow
ing tendency to bring the producers
and consumers Of the country closer
together, and the government is help
