The Morning Post finds a parallel be-

says if President Wilson thinks with the
racificists that good words and patience
will solve the problem. he will drift into
the storm he wishes to avoid, but that II
he sees that nothing short OF strong
government in Mexico will make the
maintenance of peace possible, he will
decide either to befriend the party in
Mexico that offers the best prospect of
efficiency or be ready to intervene with
such promptitude and such force as may
insure the result at which he aims. The
Pest adds that it is to be hoped Mr..
Wilson is not an adherent of the doctrines
of pacificism.

Ridicules Wilson

London, August 12.-1'he Daily Chron-
iele in an editorial today says 1t considers
President Wilson's demand that Presi-
dent Huerta renounce the presidency of
Mexico, a curious experiment In foreign
diplomacy and one scarcely likely to be
carried through easily.
"A proud race like the Mexieans and
the President with fairly strong back
ing the editorial says, "are very un-
likely to surrender. and we doubt If the
United States would really care to face
the stupenGous task of reducing Mexico
by force of arms. Mr.. Wilson's demand
for general election almost borders on
the ludicrous. because there. is no such
thing in Mexico as an election by ballot,
as the ballot is understood in great demo-
cratic countries"
Arguing that 1t is impossible for Mex
leo TO obtain money until the United
States government recognizes Huerta and
that without money the country Is bound
to drift into anarchy. the Chronicle con-
siders that the best and safest course
would be to recognize Huerta and give his
government an opportunity to redeem his
pledges of progress If he failed then. 1t
adds the time will have come for stronger
action.

Britain Nettled

London, August 11.--The British
government, nettled by the comment OF
certain American newspapers concern
ing Great Britain's recognition OF
President Huerta. declares that the
comment is based on a misconceptlon OF
facts. 1t also repudiates the insinua-
tion that the influence of powerful fl
nancial interests was used In bringing
about recognition. In a statement Is
sued today the government says:
THE recognition of President Huerta
was the recognition of a provisional
president pending an election 1t was
done at the advice Of the British min
lister to Mexico as being likely to as
sist in the restoration of order-an
important consideration In view of the
large British interests involved.
The French and German also rec
ognized President Huerta after re-
ception by him of the whole diplomatic
party, at which a congratulatory speech
was made in their behalf by the Amer
lean ambassador"

SENATOR MEMBER
OF CAMP HARDEE

Ir the account of Senator Johnston s
funeral Monday morning it should have
been stated that the deceased legislator
and Confederate veteran was a member
OF Camp Hardee, L. c. ", OF Birming
ham.
Senator Johnston had been a member of
Camp Hardee ever since the camp was
organized over 20 years ago, and his COM
rades of this camp are among the most
sincere mourners over his death.
Among the most touching floral designs
at the funeral was that sent by Camp
Hardee. The design represented the Con-
federate battle flag, the colors of the
blossoms themselves being used to carry

call upon President Wilson's personal

washington, August 1L-Distinct relief
was apparent in official circles here today
over the course of events in Mexico. The
statement of FREDERICK Gamboa, the new
Mexican minister of foreign relations.
that he had great faith in the reasonable
ness of the Judgment of the United
States," holding the conviction that tbe
difficulties between the two countries
soon would be adjusted" produced a
very favorable impression in 'administra-
tion circles. Secretary Bryan commented
optimistically on it and White House Off
cials also were pleased.
President Wilson pointed out during the
day TO callers what seemed to him con-
spicuous efforts on the part of some pen-
pie unknown to him, through published
misrepresentation to involve the United
States In intervention. He reiterated that
the attitude of this government toward
Mexico in he present situation was one
of peace and friendliness solely.
