outlook Much brighter.

Washington, August 2S.-Strong
hope prevailed in official circles to-
night that the Huerta government and
the United States soon would arrive
at a mutual understanding leading to
IL peaceful settlement OF the revolu-
tionary disturbances in Mexico.
Administration officials expressed
themselves as pleased with the days
developments. President Wilson re-
garded as hopeful the tone OF the note
sent by Federico Gamhoa. Mexican
Minister of Foreign Affairs, in reply to
supplementary suggestions made by
John Lind before leaving Mexico City
for Vera Cruz last Monday.
The full text of the two communica-
tions was received here. and while
neither sidc according to official In
terpretation, yields any OF the essential
points in its contention. the method OF
approaching the difficulties at hand ad-
mittcdly is more friendly and framed
with more regard for practical So
luton.
His Decision Encouraging.
Officials found encouragement, too, in
Mr. i.ind's decision to return to the
Mexican capital. as they had left 1t to
his discretion to return IL there was
a prospect of renewing negotiations
along tangible lines.
Much interest was manifested in tho
suggestion made by Lind to Gamboa
that all proposals be laid aside for thes
present except that which asks Huertaf
not TO be a candidate in the coming
elections 1t was learned that while
President Wilson knew the Rist OF Mr.
Lind's second proposal he was not &C.
Quainted until to-day with tho text of
the communication. In which Mr.. Lind
promised that IL his last suggestions
were accepted. assurances would be
given American bankers OF the moral
support OF the American governments
for n loan to rehab!litate the nnancen
OF the present Mexican regime.
The White House view of the offer
of the loan was that. should the pree-sl
ent effort to bring about peace appeari
to be bearing fruit, 1t would be tneunt u
bent upon the United States TO hei1S

5, HAMMERSLY
BADLY INJURED

Sherman Hammersly, we'll known
stone cutter, was stabbed in the right
Jaw last evening about O'Clock in
front Of theater on East Main street.
Hammersly was engaged in an argu-
ment with another man, who is sup
posed to have done the cutting The
argument is said to have grown out of
an old misunderstanding. Hammers
ly's assailant went into the theater
and made his getaway through the
back door, according to information
secured from one of the ushers.
The wounded man was taken to the
Office of physician and seven stitches
were necessary to close the wound.
The cut Is a long ugly cash and ex-
tends from the right ear to the right
corner of the mouth along the face.
A circular cut was also made under
the right eye. Blood flowed profuse-
ly from the wounds, and for time
1t was feared that his life would be the
cost. Mr. Hammersly remained in the
doctors Office all night, and was suf-
ficiently improved this morning to go
to his home on Pennsylvania avenue.
The police have not yet captured the
assailant of Hammersly.

winch a1ectS the health OF the COM
munity. Under the present condi-
tons; whole group of party politi-
clans go poking along doing one dull
thing after another. and accomplish
ing little or nothing! -
The remedy for the housing prob
lem for wage earners in big cities has
been discovered and successfully
tried out in Europe-the municipality
builds and sells or rents the houses
to those who would otherwise be OBJ
iged to live in tenements. The sales
are made on long time payments,
sufficiently small so that they can be
paid without bankrupting the small
purse, as is done in Ulm, Germany,
where the death rate for children
dropped from 40 in 100 to Is in 100
after the experiment. While in Liver
pool, where the city destroyed a slum
and built houses for rent deaths from
tuberculosis were cut in half!
Here is the unvarnished, practical
advice to communities throughout
the country that are struggling to
prevent rather than to cure disease,
from a woman who has spent 10
years among the people of the crowd
ed stockyard district here in Chicago!
She is at the head of the Univer-
sity of Chicago settlement work and
speaks out of long, varied expe-,
rience among tenement jewellers.
What shall we do to increase the
health of our communities, especially
of the children in our crowded city
sections?" a representative of The
Day Book asked her.
And her answer was: at is not so
much what shall we do as why don't
we do it?"
every time the question of pre-
venting disease among the children
and lettering their health and condi-
tons of living is mentioned, someone
