WILSON GIVES IT UP
MEXICO TO BE LEFT TO ITS OWN
DEVICES BY THE UNITED
STATES
ENVOY LIND is RETURNING
President Informally Read His Mes
sage on the Situation to the SEN
ate and House Foreign
Committees.

Washington, D. C.-President Will
son read to the members of the SEN
ate committee on foreign relations
and the house committee ON foreign
neutrality-suspicious. as we'll as Demo
crats-the message on the Mexican
situation which he will deliver in per-
son to a joint session of both houses
of congress.
1t is a message of friendship, not
hostility, and precedes a policy of abb
solute noninterference. 1t procIaims
to the world the sympathetic feeling
that the United States government
and the American people have for
their neighbors in the rebellion torn
republic south of the Rio Grande; it
records the views of the United States
on constitutional government, its un-
alterable opposition to governments
set up by the irregular and arbitrary
acts of ambitious individuals, and fl
nally announces that the government
of Victoriano Huerta shall not be rec
ognized-
The efforts of the United States to
bring about a peaceful settlement of
the difficulty through the representa-
tons made by John Lind, special en-
voy of President Wilson, are outlined,
as we'll as the answer of the Huerta
government.
The Presidents message received
practically unanimous approval. The
future course of this government will
be one of non-interference, in the
hope that the effect of~its present eff
forts and the pressure of foreign gov
ernments Will constitute a moral
suasion that ultimately will bring
about peace in Mexico. The message
makes it plain that there will be no
lifting of the embargo on arms:-
Secretary Bryan sat beside the
President as the latter read his mes
sage.
A message from John Lind, per-
sonal representative of President Will
son in Mexico, said that he had said
goodbye to Foreign Minister Gamboa.
and had left the City of Mexico. Ne
gotiations SO far as Mr. Lind is con-
cerned have been terminated. The
United States will receive any further
proposals through Charge d'Affaires
O'Shaughnessy of the American en-
bassy.

cRowLEss BOOSTERS.

According to Washington news dis
patch, experts in the department of
agriculture have set about the task of
evolving a rooster which does not
crow. It is a commendable under
taking. and if success should attend it
only so far as to do away with the
growing at unseemly hours in the
morning. grateful public will praise
and bless the department without re-
gard to political preferences or pre-
JUDGES. But if the dispatch is correct
as to details, the experts have gone
at work in way which does not
promise permanent results AS the
brief story is told, the experts have
been prompted to the quest by a cor
respondent who claims that he has al
ready solved the problem by the sim
pie, and he says, painless process OF
cutting one of the vocal cords in the
birds throat If the experts are WORK
ing on that line. they will discover
at the end of their experiments that
they are as far away as ever from
producing a crowless breed of fowls,
says the Manchester Union Doubt
less. the rooster operated upon will
be voiceless, and he would be if one
were to cut off his head. as many
light sleeper has longed to, but his
progeny. if he has any, will grow and
cackle as vigorously as did his an
cestors, unless they, too, are also OPP
Grated upon. The destroying or modi-
flying an organ or part in the individ-
uaI does not produce a like change in
the descendants. Evolution does not
work that way.

National theaters-of an open air
kind-at one time existed in England

says the London Chronicle. The be-
ginning of British dramatic art sprang
from these open air theaters, where
the medieval plays were produced
and forgotten. The sands of the Corn

Government Time for
Action.

Washington, d. C.-The Huerta adj
