rsss'OsNr HurRrA NAY RESIGN


Vera Cruz. Mex.--Perristent rumors
current here that General Huerta full
fy Intends to resign from the Presi-
dency ut an early date are interesting
President Wilson's personal represen-
tative. John Lind.
Tending TO support these rumors
are two stories apparently from an
authentic source. One In to the ef-
feet that an American, calling on the
Provisional President. asked him
what he intended TO do General
Huerta smiled and replied that one
OF his eyes had been troubling greatly
OF late. Then he laughed and added
that II Sat eye became worse he
might have 10 leave the country and
have an operation some time early In
October. As matter OF fact, General
Huerta underwent an operation for
cataract several months ago.
Tho other story was told recently
by an Englishman. who quoted Cen
eral Huerta as saying:
well, II Is quite possible that by
the end OF the week or soon after !
shall no longer be President"
According to many persons who
have come to Vera Cruz from the
capital. the impression Il growing
there that General Huerta will with
draw from the Presidency. The ma
jority OF them incline to the belief
that he win enter the electoral race;
others that he will follow General
Porfirio Diax to Europe.

Winchester Presbytery.

braces the work of the Southern Presby-
terrain Church in the counties in Virginia
and West Virginia lying in the triangle
bounded at its points by Luray, Va, and
Berkeley Springs and Davis. W. Va.
wasin session at Keyser frcm Tuesday
to Friday of last week.

moderator, and Rev. C. D. Gilkeson, of
Moore6eld, and Rev. H. NJ. Moffett, of
Charles Town. were made clerks.
Beside the regular routine work of the
Presbytery. plans we're formed looking
to the erection of new church near
Blaine, W. Va, and more adequately
sustained effort to reach the large num-
bers of practically unchurched through
the coal and lumber sections of the Allie
ghanIes.
A more iberalsupport of the Home
Mission work throughout the Synod of
Virginia, was lso-Hnderta AIKEN, and=an
overture was adopted to be forwarded
to the General Assembly, which meets
at Atlanta, Ga, in MAY, asking certain
changes in the policy aud conduct ofthe
Foreign Mission work of the Church,
which it is believed would add to the
effectiveness of the work.
Rev. Alfred Jones, D. D.; of Kerns-
town, Rev. J. H. Lacy, D. D., of VIM
chester, and Messrs. N. w. Kuykendall,
of Romney, and w. "A. Fry, of Keyser,
were elected Commissioners to the ap-
preaching meeting of the Assembly.
From the reports that came up to the
Presbytery fromits constituent Churches
it is evident thatthe work within the
bounds of the Presbytery is being con
Quoted with energy, and the church is
enjoying an increase of effectiveness
over that of the past. andprevious years.
