American Demand for
Peace Ignored, Says
Ambassador Wilson

"The demand of the United States
that hostilities cease has been ignored .
stated Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson.
at Mexico City. in at telegram received
by the State Department at midnight.
american residents in the city have
crowded themselves into the embassy
seeking protection. Artillery fire has
raked the city in all directions, although
the operations yesterday quite by chance
diverted tie fire from American prop
erty. Several Americans have taken ad-
vantage of the lull In hostilities to
leave for the country
Another dispatch from Ambassador
Wilson indicated that the foreign popu-
lation has come to the conclusion that
they have been caught in the storm CEN
ter Of real war, and that all the opera
bouffe character with which Mexican
and Central American revolutions are
ordinarily credited, has been entirely
lost. Consequently the appeals to the
American ambassador for protection
are most earnest.

Taft Sends Wilson
Sufficient Funds to
Protect Americans

Unlimited funds were today placed at
the disposal Of American Ambassador
Wilson at Mexico City to care for about
600 American and foreign refugees in the
American embassy. At the request of
Secretary Of State Knox. President Taft
gave Wilson carte blanche to draw for
money.
Dispatches received today from AM
bassador Wilson at the State Depart-
ment declared that Americans and for
eigners were pouring into the legation
seeking protection. Wilson said he had
appointed a committee Of Americans to
care for the refugees and was hiring
houses near the embassy for their
shelter.
Ambassador Wilson also told how he
and the German ambassador had made
futile appeal to both Madero and Gen.
eral Diaz to- cease hostilities. He said
he visited both civil war camps, and re-
ceived assurances that every effort
would be made avoid injuring for
eigners and nonparticlpan,s. The am
bassador cabled that It was expected
the fighting would be resumed today.
and that SO far neither side had gained
any material advantage.

DISTRICT SOLDIERS.
HAVE FIRST CALL #
j. s. SENDS TROOPS
Militia Is Under Federal Con-
troll, Unlike National Guards
of States.

Ir the event the mobilization Of
troops for intervention in Mexico pro-
ceeds TO point where any part of the
organized militia is called upon for
duty, the National Guard of the Dis
trict of Columbia probably will have
first call for service
Word TO this effect was circulated in
the local guard yesterday ana led to
much gossip. polishing of equipment,
dreams of valorous deeds and OCCASION
al glances at the regulations.
The local orga imitation consists of two
regiments of infantry. a separate bat
talon of coiored miIitiamen, one bat
terry of field artillery, a signal corps
company. a corps Of engineers, the
medical corps and officers. The pres
ent strength, including officers and
ment is 1850.
The District of Columbia militia oc-
cupies a peculiar position, being, in
fact, a Federal militia. Money for its
support is derived from appropriation
by Congress. In the States, militia
organizations must depend for a con-
siderable part of their funds on legis-
lative Appropriation
The crisis in Mexico and the prob
ability of interference oy this country
has again brought to the surface an
alleged defect in the organization of
the District militia. a large part Of
the men are employed in Government
departments. and in time of war woul1
be drawn away from their clerical du
ties. thus tending to cripple administra-
tive work at the YER: time when their
services would be most needed

rard, in command of the District mill
tia, that a distinction in organization
be made between the men who are em-
ployed in departmental work and those
who are engaged I'm private enterprise.

TAFT'S DEFINITION
Of "|NT0LERABlE
CONDITION. VITAL
On His Decision Depends Action
of United States in Mexican
Situation.

On President Taft's definition of what
constitutes IAN intoIeraDle condition
in Mexico depends intervention by the
United States.
Official Washington today believed
tl,at the Executive would hold such q
condition had arrived. under the fol-
lowing contingencies:
II anarchy continued to spread in Mex
ico City.
If demands of the American ambas-
sador continue to be ignored.
If some foreign power intimates that
It will intervene IL the United States
docs not
II the Madero administration falls and
is not immediately succeeded by CEN
tTslized government.
If the rules and principles of civilis-
I'd warfare are disregarded.
Tf communication between Washing
:on and Mexico CITY is cut off.
II there is an outbreak of anu-Amer-
lean, or anti-foreisn sentiment, result
ing in loss of life.
Anxious to Avoid Trouble.
1t was pointed out today that at least
three of these contingencies had al
ready arisen. But President Taft is
extremely anxious to avoid Intervention.
He is hopeful that either Diaz or Ma
dero will win a decisive victory and that
some semblance of government will be
restored at the capital. Continuance
of the present condition is Mexico City
Of itself is almost sufficient to force
Intervention.
The belief was almost universal here
today that President Taft would put the
ahole situation up to Congress for de-
cision. If II was apparent that the pres
eDt condition Of affairs at Mexico City
was likely to continue for any length
of time.
1t was pointed out here today that in
iernstional law and custom draws Q
sharp line between "arfned invasion"
and .'an evpeditionary force Thou
sands Of marines and b'ue5ackets might
be landed as an expeditionary force

Sress is in session. the general belief
was that the Executive had power 10

1t was the general belief here tina:
Taft would not exercise his prerogative
of sending an expeditionary force
ashore at any Mexican port without
Congressional sanction.

Diplomats Discuss
Intervention With
Secretary Knox

The first signs Of tremendous pressure
to be brought by foreign governments
on the United States to take measures
to bring about peace in Mexico are 1.-The
casual visits Of foreign representa-
tives in Washington to the State De-
partment.
Within the last forty-eight hours, at
least five diplomats representing gov
ernments which have a number of citi-
Zens in Mexico. have called at the State
Department and while they have not
made formal demands for protection.
have indicated very clearly that they
expect this Government to take the
necessary measures for the protection
of foreign life in Mexico.
At the same time that events are
forcing the hand Of the Administra-
tion, and the polite but forceful re-
quests of foreign representatives por-
tend embarrassments. the Administra-
tion, to get down to brass tacks, is
completely at sea as the result of he
bald facts that the American army is
not ready to move.
Would Take Time.
United States troops could not be
moved to a Mexican port in less than
two weeks.
There are twenty-three infantry
regiments now in the United States,
of an average strength of 500 men.
The war strength is 1900 to the regi-
ment. The militia could not be taken
across the border. With only an ef-
fective infantry force of $4,000 men.
army officers are afraid to suggest
what might happen if so small a force
was sent into a hostile country and
compelled to garrison the posts as
they were taken on the advance.
In consequence. there is worry with

Weak, Nervous Men.


To be strong and manly is the aim
of man and yet how many we find
who lack the vitality and strength that
nature gave them.
Instead of developing into vigorous
manly young fellows they find them
selves gloomy, despondent-no ambl
ton. Why make the mistake of neg
lecting your case?
Are you nervous and weak?
Have you little force Or energy?
Is your mind confused? DO you
have bad dreams?
DO you wake up mornings feeling
weak, tired and exhausted?
Do you have dizziness and loss OF
memory?
Do you get the "blues"?
Have you mean feeling of tea
and apprehension?
DO you have weak back Or palpita,

Great Darke County
Fair.


There never has been so many
inquiries for space for the exhi-
bition of automobiles, farm ma
chinery and manufacturers of all
kinds of useful articles, so early
in the season.
More horse stalls have been
taken by exhibitors from out of
the county than ever before and
quite a number of new exhibit
ors from our own county are en-
gaging stalls, while the old boys
are preparing to make a larger
show than usual. Quite mum.
ber of stalls have been taken in
the other live stock departments.
The inquiries for lists from the
poultry breeders have been very
large. Quite an interest is be-
ing taken in the live stock and
corn judging contests. Teams
are being organized all over the
county.
The inquiries for concession
space have been about double
that Of former years. Enough
shows have made application for
space than we could locate on
the ground, if we excluded eve
rything else. This gives the
management the chance to Sc
lect the best in the land. They

can be secured for fairs. They
have thirtyfive people with the
show, carry thirty head of stock,
which includes three head of

They carry a fine band Of ten
pieces. This is the largest show
ever booked by the fair board.
Mazeppa, the horse with a hu-
man brain, has been booked.
This is conceded to lie the best
trained or educated horse in the
world, doing her act without

To see her work is an inspiration
