Germany Alluded Insane.

M. L. Coramny, who during his
residence in Princeton has dabbled
in photography, law, and newspaper
publishing, in none of which he made
a success, was taken before Judge
of Probate Sanford on Saturday, up
on complaint of John Anderson, his
deputized keeper, and committed to
the detention hospital for the insane
at Fergus Falls.
At the examination in probate
court-which was conducted by Drs.
Cooney and Caley-Cormany talked
freely and demonstrated beyond
possible doubt that his ''garret is
inhabited by bugs His insanity
is of a hallucinatory nature. He
declares, among other things, that
he is about to die; that certain per-
sons, who possess the power of read
ing his mind, are keeping him under
surveillance for evil purposes; and
that he is a victim Of unrequited
love.
Germany was at the Northwestern
hospital for several days, entering
that Institution upon the pretense
Or imagination-that he was suffer-
ing from some serious bodily all
ment, but DR.. Cooney found that he
was physically intact although
mentally unbalanced. John Ander-
son was then deputized to keep watch
over him and on Thursday he was
discharged from the hospital and
went to Sheriff Shockley's house in
charge of his keeper, where he was
cared for until conveyed to Fergus
Falls by the sheriff on Friday after
noon.

in dealing with the problem that the
United States was not fulfilling its
part.
Lifting the embargo on the insur-
gents would mean that the latter could
fort1fy themselves and could carry on
indefinitely a warfare such as they
have maintained for the last six
months and all hope Of ending the dis
turbances would be remote. OF course
this line of thought was based on the
premises that Huerta is so strongly in
trenched in the capital and the states
Which he controls as to defy dislodge-
ment by all the revolutionists in the
country. The reports received in the
last few weeks indicate that the revo-
lutionists will not be able to make any
advance on the Mexican capital; that
with plenty Of arms and ammunition
they are numerically too weak to &C.
complish the overthrow of Huerta un-
less it is done with assistance Of a

overthrow was accomplished.

go against the revolutionists- in

peace through mediation-a policy of
nOninterference and the maintenance
OF strict neutrality, Tightening up
of the frontier guard to prevent the
shipment Of arms and ammunition to
either faction in Mexico.
Only Three Alternatives.
When President Wilson sent Com
missioner Lind to Mexico with three
suggestions for settling the disturb
ances he had in reserve three alterna-
tives which he could adopt in the event
of failure. They were:
First.-Intervention.
Second.-Raising the embargo against
the revolutionists obtaining arms and
ammunition in the United States.
Third.-A return to the former policy
of nOninterference, always entertain
ing the hope that one side would quick
ly win out in the struggle Of arms.
Like his predecessor. President Will
son never Gid seriously consider the
first alternative. He held that it was
too drastic a remedy for the ailment
After going over the reports of the
state department he found that so far
as the killing of Americans was con-
cerned there had not been a sufficient
disregard of the safety of foreigners on
the part of either of the factions in
Mexico to Justify Intervention.
he found that with two or three ex-
ceptions all the Americans killed in
Mexico had lost their lives through
some overt act on their part A few,
less than half a dozen. had been acct
dentally killed. The most the reports
showed was wholesale pillage of
property and destruction Of the same

cided was not intervention, as under
international law all claims for dam
age can be collected without resort to

After viewing and reviewing all this

urging for intervention.
Matter of the Embargo.
He next gave consideration to the
proposal Of raising the embargo against
Che revolutionists obtaining arms and
ammunition in the United States
What he found was this:
All the foreign governments having
property interests in Mexico have pro-
visionally recognized Huerta Germany
has given full recognition.
These countries were asked by the
United States to lend their moral sup.
port to the effort to induce Huerta to
accept one of the three proposals for
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1913-08-28

as much consideration for American
lives and property as they have had
heretofore. They would have the same
respect us heretofore for the lives and
property of other foreigners, so that
question was decided in favor of re-
turning to the noninterference policy.
He then gave thought to the question
Of the finances Of both factions and
their ability to carry on warfare for
an indefinite period. The reports be-
fore the president Indicated that both
factions are hard pressed for funds and
that the reason they are not obtaining
more arms is not because they cannot
transport them into Mexico, but be-
cause they have no money with which
to purchase them. Another phase in
this feature was that without any
source of supply one side or perhaps
both would exhaust themselves fSht-
ing.
Again, that with resources down low
one side might make sufficient head
way to force the other to agree to quit.
1t was believed that by following a
policy Of noninterference beyond max
ing the customary demands that for
eigners be protected we would retain
the moral support Of foreign govern
ments.
Neutrality Strictly Enforced.
In the meantime there will be no let
up in the maintenance Of vigilance by
the American government. The four
battleships at Vera Cruz will be re-
tanned there, and the border patrol will
continue it's duty. 1t is probable that
it will be strengthened, as will the
naval force on the Pacific coast Of
Mexico, for the purpose Of preventing
the shipment Of arms or other NUM-
lions of war to either the rebels or fed
erals.
1t is believed that with these precau-
lions strictly enforced the troubles in
Mexico will speedily settle themselves.
On the other hand, while the POSSIBLE
ity Of Intervention is now regarded as
slight the United States shall not be
found unprepared for the worst in the
event that it becomes necessary.
Ever since the first revolution in
Mexico army and navy officers have
been preparing for just such a contin-
gency. They have been working out
