THREATS WILL NOT KEEP LIND
OUT OF VERA CRUZ

Washington, Aug. s.-John Lind,
Presidents Wilson'S unofficial repre-
sentative, and official advisor to the
American embassy at Mexico City,
will go from Vera Cruz to Mexico
City.
Press reports of the threats made
against him by Huerta sympathizers
will not keep Lind aboard the Bat
tIeship New Hampshire at Vera Cruz.
This was announced this afternoon.
The administration admits the sit
uation is grave, and that war is with
in the bounds of possibility.
Charge D'Affaires O'Shaughnessey
of the American embassy at Mexico
City today forwarded to this govern
ment the official note conveying the
threat of the Mexican ministers of
affairs saying that Lind viii not be
welcome in Mexico City.
1t Is possible that the administra-
ton will give out the terms under
which Lind IS going to Mexico to re-
heve the strain of the situation.
The army an dnavy are ready for
war at a moments notice.

Mrs. Madison was very beautiful,
gracious and devoted TO her husband
and. as one can tell from her memoirs
and letters she added to these quail
ties a good share OF intelligence and
brilliance.
Very different from the lighI-heart-
ed Dolly Madison is another Ameri-
can woman whose birthday falls on
May 20. This is the daughter of Ma
thaniel Hawthorne. known now as
Mother Mary Alphonsa Lslthrop. She
was born sixty-two years ago today,
and at 90 she married George Par
sons Lathrop. With her father and
later with her husband she was as
ISOLATED in literary work, but her
natural sympathy for the poor and
her strongly marked religious nature
developed as she grew older. and in
1896 she decided that 1t was her duty
to devote her life to the poor cancer
victims of New York city.
She went to DR.. Bull. the noted
surgeon. and asked him what she
should do. At his advice she took a
course of nursing in the Cancer Hos
pital, in New York city. Then she
found that there was not room for
the cancerous poor in the hospitals.

Three Planets Augur Ill.
let Men Keep Secrets still.

With the sun, Jupiter and Saturn
all in unfriendly aspect, astrologers
find this day in which to act with
caution.
The seers warn against the danger,
under these influences. of imparting
ones plans or intentions to any friend
or business associate. They advise
reticence and secrecy, since chance
word may do incalculable harm.
Under this rule the tendency is for
persons especially susceptible to
planetary vibrations to be over-con-
fident, egotistical and arrogant. For
this reason the day is not a favorable
one for any speculative enterprise.
The omen is particularly unlucky,
it is said. for dealinngsswith govern
ment officials. Disappointment and
lack of success are predicted for ne
gotiations with persons in authority.
