paint when the property needs it.
They paint ships g dozen times a

There's more in paint than to
keep out water. Paint for looks and
you needn't think about water.
A fresh coat Of paint once a year is
about as good for his credit as pay

likely, has no debts.

Peace Is Far off,
u. S. Believes

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S.-While the
patches from Ambassador Wilson con-
tirmatory of the overthrow of the Ma
derist regime in Mexico and containing
expression of the hope that compare
tive peace will follow the inauguration
of the new president. neither the navy
nor the war department countermanded
their previous orders preparing for in
tervention south of the border.
The state department believes that
the enforced resignation of President
Madero makes the situation consider
ably more difficult and that the admin
istration of General Huerta will be
brief
Additional obstacles in the path OF
peace south of the Rio Grande are the
pretensions of Generals Orozco, Sala-
Ear. Zapata and the other revolutionary
leaders to the reins of government.
They do not regard Huerta either as a
very strong man or as capable ruler.
1t is feared that until another Porfirio
Diaz is seated in the castle at Chapul-
tepec there will be no peace in Mexico
and that foreigners will be subjected
to all manner of attacks and insults by
revolutionaries throughout the repub-
lie
Warships Held Ready.
For this reason the United states
will not give it's battleships additional
orders for at least a fortnight, while
the entire Atlantic fleet will be kept at
Guantanamo, cuba, ready for tnterven-
ton. until the latter part of March, un-
less President Wilson sees fit to change
the Taft policy.
The permanent corps OF marines at
Guantanamo will assure the United
States of a capable landing force ready
to be used at four days notice in any
portion of central America, while the
| temporary camp of the Third infantry
at Galveston. Texas will permit that
regiment to be rushed to any part OF
