PRESIDENT READS HIS MESSAGE:
MEXICANS NOT TO HARM CITIZENS
Asks United States Remain Neutral by Prohibiting Arms
Being Shipped From This Country-Advises
All Americans to Leave There.

ted were rejected in a note, the full
text of which take the liberty Of lay
ing before you.
Il am led to believe that they we're
;s43tcted partly because the authorities
at Mexico City had been grossly mis-
informed and misled upon two points.
They did not realize the spirit OF the
American people in this matter, their
earnest friendliness and yet sober de-
termination that some just solution be
found for the Mexican difficulties;
and they did not believe that the
present administration spoke through
Mr.. Lind for the people of the United
States.
THE effect of this unfortunate mis-
understanding ON their part Is TO leave
them singularly isolated and without
friends who can effectually aid them.
So long as the misunderstanding con-
tinues, we can only await the time Of
their awakening to a realization OF
the actual facts. We cannot thrust
our good offers upon them. The situa'
ton must be given little time to
work itself out In the new circum-
stances; and ! believe that only lit
tie while will be necessary. For the
circumstances are new. The rejection
Of our friendship makes them new
and will inevitably bring its own al
terations in the whole aspect CT af'
fairs. The actual situation Of the au!'
thorities at Mexico City will presently
be revealed"
The president concluded:
Il am happy to say that several of
the great governments OF the world
have given this government their gen
crous moral support In urging upon
the provisional authorities the accept
ance of our proffered good offices in
the spirit in which they were made.
At the world expects us TO
act as Mexico's nearest friend and
intimate adviser. There is
nowhere any serious question that we
have the moral right In the case or
that we are acting in the interest Of n
fair settlement not for the
promotion of some selfish interest OF
our own.
This consent Of mankind in what
we are attempting, this attitude OF
the great nations OF the world toward
what we may attempt in dealing with
the distressed people at our doors.

ly bound to go to the utmost length of
patience and forbearance In the pain

we shqll triumph as Mexico's friends
sooner than we could triumph as her
enemies-and how much more hand.

s51s.03 In 1900, being an Increase OF
1918 per cent. in the decade.
Coming back to the crops OF 1913, il
may safely be said that the yield of
wheat In Saskatchewan will be about
t15.00o.000 bushels, with an average
yield OF over 90 bushels per acre.
Oats, which are but fair crop, will
yield an average equal to that of last
year. Barley is excellent, while fax,
of which the average Is considerably
less than last year, will produce a
greater average than for years. What
is said OF these crops will apply to all
districts.
Under date OF August 18th, a report
comes from Regina which says:
UNLESS some dire calamity occurs
in the next few days farmers OF the
Regina district will reap the greatest
wheat crop ever recorded In the West.

Mayor Says He's
Through With Pastor.

Mayor Woodward declared We'd
nesday that he would have nothing
further to say regarding DIR. Lincoln
Mcconnell. He explained that he had
received. Dr. McConnelIs special de-
livery letter Tuesday, but had re-
turned it unopened.
Il have dismissed Sensationalist
Mcconnell from my mind" he said.
Il refuse to furnish him any further
newspaper notriety. I've got too much
respect for the dignity of the posi-
ton I hold
Il have been apprlsed of his record
from the time that he and Flop
Beerman visited the saloons and dives
of Knoxville, Mcconnell picking a
guitar and Flop singing. He was
called Flop because of the hang of
his lower lip. After the performance
they would pass around the hat
presume that was the source of his
livelihod at that ime.
But I don't care to go into all that
history l now dismiss him with con-
tempt
