HUERTA TELLS WORLD HE
WILL NOT QUIT OFFICE

Mexico City, Aug. 5.-Foreign inter-
ference in the conduct Of his task Of
p~acification will not be tolerated by
Provisional President Huerta. He pro-
poses to stay in the presidency and will
brook no interference on the part Of
the nationals or foreigners.
This determination was expressed in
a statement issued by DR.. Aureliano
Urratia, the Mexican minister of the
interior. on behalf of the president.
General Huerta will not resign" DR..
Urrntia said. Much less will he per-
NIT nationals or foreigners to take a
hand in a question in which is involved
his honor and that of his nation. I will
say still more-that General Huerta
has contracted an obligation with the
nation and with the entire world to
establish peace in the Mexican repub-
lie. This obligation is in the way of
being fulfilled. If. when it is realized,
our government has been recognized
by the United States we shall rejoice.
If it has not we will lament it. We
will not, however. change our attitude
of defense Of national honor and dig
nifty
The declaration of the minister of
the interior is regarded in political cir
cles here#as the governments answer
to the Mexican deputies who are pro-
noting a movement to bring gu an
understa nding between the Huerta adj
ministration and the rebels.

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 5.-The bible
story of Noah and the flood is CON
irmed in many details by hieroglyphics
written at least 1000 years ago by a
historian who lived in ancient Babylon,
according to announcement made last
night by the University of Pennsyl-
vania. The writing on a tablet, an
epic of great length purporting to reach
back to the creation has been de-
ciphered at the museum of the univer-
sity by DR.. Arno Poebel, the announce

the creation. Nintu. godmother of hu-
mans. is lamenting that the other gods
seem bent on their destruction.

"At that time Nintu walled like q
woman in travail" reads the transla-

count of the people. Enki, god Of wis

Nintu over the proposed destruction of
mankind. Ziugidda, high priest of

and prayed prostrating himself in ha-
mility.
The Ziugidda of the B~abylonians. IT
is believed, was the Noah of the He

learning from the great god, Enki,
that mankind was to be destroyed by
G rain storm" Then comes a de-
scription of terrific wind and rains.
After seven days the rainstorm had
passed over the Ian and carried away
the huge boat. Then the sun-god came
forth, shedding light over heaven and
earth. .Ziugidda opened the roof of
his ship and the light of the sun-god

respect to the duration of the flood de-
scribed in Genesis There it was said
to have lasted 40 days.

the poem continues, and sacrificed an

Of Nintu the gods forgave the surviv-
ing human beings and gave them ina
