MEXICO'S REPLY
Points Cleared Up About Which In

POINTS CleaFeu UP ABOUT Wnlcn IN
formation Had Been Vague.
Washington, Aug. Is. - Official
Washington read with great interest
the reply of the Mexican government
to the American mediation proposals.
The reply, which was written by
Gamboa, the Mexican minister of for.
eign affairs, contains what is almost
an ultimatum in serving notice upon
this country that recognition Of the
Huerta government was the only con-
dition upon which mediation would
be considered.
The note was in reply to the pro-
posals submitted by John Lind and
was addressed to Mr. Lind as Mr..
Special Agent of the President Of the
United States"
Minister Gamboa makes detailed
arguments in answer to all the impor-
tant demands Of the United States ex-
cept that one that General Huerta
should not be a candidate to succeed
himself This demand was curtly re-
jected with the statement that it
might be interpreted as a matter Of
personal dislike" for the provisional
president Gamboa refers to the
American demands as humiliating
and unusual in character and declares
that they would hardly have been ad-
missible even in a treaty of peace
after a victory" That they were con
sidered at all, he said, was strong evi-
dence Of the esteem in which the
United States is held by Mexicans.
Rejecting all of the American pro-
posals, Minister Gamboa refers to
President Wilson's request that coun-
ter proposals be submitted by Mex
leo. lie boldly proposes that the Unit
cd States receive a Mexican ambassa-
dor ct Washington and send an Amer
lean ambassador to Mexico City. Gam
boa added chat II the United States

To LET FACTIONS
FIGHT II OUT

able for the lives of Americans who
remain and for American property;
and third, a proclamation of neutral
ity on the part of this government
with a complete embargo against the
shipment Of ammunition and arms
from this country into Mexico
Having taken these steps, President
Wilson proposes to let the Mexicans
fight out their own destiny. He enter
tains the strong hope that eventually
the pride of Huerta will be broken
and that all factions will realize the
necessity Of yielding to the American
mediation demands.
The president does not consider
this new policy Of noninterference as
closing the door for future American
efforts toward peaceful solution of
the present difficulty. In fact, he ex.
pressed the firm belief that not many
days will elapse before we shall tri-
umph as the friends Of Mexico"
The house Of representatives pre-.
anted an impressive scene when Pres
ident Wilson delivered his notable ad
dress. Seated close together in the
body Of the hall were the members of
the senate and of the house The gal
leries were packed to the last inch
of standing room. Over all was an
air Of soberaess which clearly reflect
ed the seriousness with which mem
bers of congress viewed the situation.
Points in Wilson's message follow:
eve should earnestly warn all
Americans TO leave Mexico at once
and should assist them to get away
in every way possible.
Il shall follow the best practice of
nations in the matter of neutrality. by
forDidding the expectation of arms or
munitions of war of any kind from the
United States to any part Of the re-
public of Mexico.
The steady pressure Of moral force
will, before many days. break down
the barriers Of pride and prejudice,
and we shall triumph as Mexico's
friends sooner than we could triumph
as her enemies.

Hens is curious animals; they don't
have no nose nor no teeth nor no ears.
They swallow their whittles whole and
chew it up in their crops inside Of EN-
The outside of hens is generally put into
pillars and into feather busters. The
inside of hen is sometimes filled with
marbles and shirt buttons and sich. A
hen is very much smaller than a good
many other animals, but they'll dig up
more tomato plants than anything that

which may have ever dared to enter
into agreement or to propose an ar
