the Huerta government seems to be
growing here, although the anti-Amer-
lean movement has not yet assumed
menacing phase and probably will
not. Thus far it has been confined
principally to newspaper suggestions
that boycott be declared upon Amer
lean products, coupled with the use
Of the word Yankee" In editorials in
as offensive manner as the writers
can employ it.
Scores of shops have posted placards
In their windows reading, mo Ameri-

pecially significant. because the pro-
prietors Of most of the shops where
the placards are displayed are either
Spaniards or other foreigners, or ordi-

In the United States. Thus far no
Mexican, so far as known, has refused
to sell goods to Americans or rejected
United States money.

demonstration, but it Is doubtful II
any attempt at one will be made; be-
sides, the police probably would put
an end to it promptly.
The more timid among Americans
fear trouble unless something is done
quickly either by the United States or
Mexico to render the diplomatic situa-
ton between the two governments less
strained. The Mexicans are greatly
pleased at the prospect Of the United
States and Japan becoming embroiled
over the California situa ton. They
look upon the action Of President vii
son in forbidding any naval or army
movement calculated to arouse Japan's
suspicious as confession of weakness
and fear In Washington that Japan
might declare war.
The exodus of Americans continues.
A report reached here that. alarmed
at the prospect Of total cessation of
rail traffic due to the activity of the
rebels, the American Smelling and Re
f1ning company is sending its fami-
lies from Aguascalientes to Vera Cruz
by special train and is trying to
charter a steamship to transport them
from Vera Cruz to New York.
Those Americans here whose opin-
ions are worth while do not hesitate
to pronounce the diplomatic situation
as between Mexico and the United
States impossible They favor recall
ing Ambassador Wilson and sending
here commissioner to take up the
question Of recognition with the gov
eminent whose communication with
Mexican officials would not be ham
pered by embarrassing personal and
official relations In the past. It is not
questioned that the continued retain
ing of Henry Lane Wilson here con-
stitutes grave impeachment to an un-
5derstanding being reached by the two
governments. The sooner washington
appreciates this and acts the sooner
will Americans In Mexico see poe
sihle way ont Of the tangle.

Annual Report Gives Net Earn
ings For 1912.

Chicago.-Cyrus H. Mccormick, pres
1dent Of the International Harvester
company. made public here the report
of the corporation for the year 1912,
which shows net profit Of $685.
597.16 on total income Of $126,518,-
237.62. The capital stock is $4,000
600, and the surplus on Dec. 81 was
$31, ,544.O6. In his comments on the
general situation last year Mr.. McCor-
mick says:
"The year 1912 was one Of excep-
tional prosperity for the farming COM
munity throughout the world. The
production Of the principal grains in
creased almost 20 per cent over the
preceding year and yielded crop
value considerably larger than any pre-
vious record This created an increas-
ed demand for harvesting machinery,
tillage implements and other farm APP
planes and enabled the company to
make substantial gain in the gross
volume of sales The increase effected
In net earnings, however, was not pro-
portionate to the gain in volume, owing
to the reduction in selling prices of the
company's principal lines.
"SThe expansion of the foreign trade
continues. The sales of harvesting
machinery abroad increased % per
cent. and the sales of other farm i'm
plements. engines and tractors increas-
ed IA per cent over 1911. The foreign
trade now exceeds 40 per cent of the
total business of the company and con-
tributes more than proportionately to
the net earnings, while the domestic
sales of harvesting machinery and

of the total business
