HUERTk SUMMONS DIAz
FOR ACTIVE SERVICE
Former president of Mexico Request
ed to Return to Native Land
to Aid Government.

Mexico City-Gen. Porfirio Diaz,
ex-president of Mexico, has been sum-
moned by the war department to, re-
turn to Mexico for active army ser
vice.
A cablegram sent to General Diaz
Saturday brought noncommittal re-
ply from the ex-president, asking that
the war minister await the arrival oil
a letter which he would send him.
Gen. Porfirio Diaz now is at Blar-
ritz France. 1t is recognized here
that General Diaz is too old to render
service except possibly in an advis-
DRY capacity and 1t is assumed that
such will be expected of him. The
last words of General Diaz when he
left Mexico, were to the effect that
ne would return only If the country
needed his services in the event of a
foreign invasion.
No animation is given as to the
reason prompting his recall His
resignation from the army was &C
cepted by President Madero.
