of President Wilson's special envoy to
Mexico. When Minnesota's former gov
ernor was FIRST commissioned to
Mexico, Secretary OF State Bryan made
special mention Of the fact that Mrs.
Lind was accompanying him. He used
this as an illustration that no real
danger was feared or she woatd not
have made the trip. Now she is coming
back but her husband remains in Vera

Secretary Of State Bryan hurried
back from New Jersey today and went
to his Office in the state department.
He planned to confer with President
Wilson during the day. 1t was stated
however, that nothing official would be
driven out which would indicate any
change In policy. No reply Is to be
made to the Huerta pronounciamento
which threatened the United States
with foreign entanglements If it inter
ferred in Mexico's internal affairs.
But If Huerta's plot to force his Owl
election as constitutional president
and that of General Banquet as vice
president is carried, there will be a
statement OF no uncertain character 1t
can be stated on the highest authority
that under no circumstances, 30 long
as Woodrow Wilson is president Of the
United States, will Huerta be recog
nized as president Of Mexico.

OUR EFFICIENT FIRE DEPART

Under an efficiency administration

contemplate. will not be materially

That is our fire department
The efficiency of South Bends fire
fighting force has never been ques-
toned.
While there might be excuse for a
few changes. due perhaps. to an ex-
cess of political activity. it is not to
be anticipated that the dismissals will
be very numerous.
The men on the force, in the main
are seasoned men. acquainted with
the equipment, the city, and their du-
ties, which coupled with the degree of
bravery and lear-headedness essen
tial to the hurried activity TO which
their employment subjects them, is a
firemans chiefest asset.
Chief Grant and his men. working
together. have done much to make the
fire department what it is-equal to
the best for its size in the country.
AS it is the department is organized
and ready fo~ continuous operation,
while a wholesale housecleaning-as-
Stunning that a change in the person

a aning,-might leave things
in temporary consition that would
be disastrous.
No city can afford to trifle with
fire in such a manner A cOnflagra-
ton seldom serves advance notice OF
its coming, and neither Co they delay
their outbursts TO allow new admin
istrations time in which to reOrgan-
lie fire-fighting forces. or train new
men for the ladders and the hose.
ON the contrary, the fates seem tC
be so dispositioned, and the red
tongued demon so eager. that the les:
equipped they find a city, whether il
men or apparatus, the more anxious
they are TO get busy.
