TAFT BACKS UP WILSON
Former President Says Monroe Doc
trine Must Be Upheld.

New York.-"We are international
trustees of the prosperity we have
and the power we enjoy, and we are
in duty bound to use them when it
is both civil and proper to help our
neighbors," declared former President
William H. Taft in a lecture before
the New York Peace Society on the
Monroe doctrine, which, he held
should be continued in full force, des-
pite the hostility to its expressed in
some quarters.
I'VE cannot be too careful to avoid
forcing our own ideas of government
on peoples, who, though favoring pop
ular government, have such different
ideas as to what constitutes it,"
He alluded to criticism of the appli-
cation of the doctrine as leading to
Fintermeddling by our government in
the politics of the smaller countries
like San Domingo and the central
American republics" and that we are
exercising a protectorate of a direct
character over some of them. What
we are doing with respect to Them"
he continued, "is in the interest of
civilization, and we ought to do it to
aid our neighboring governments,
whether the Monroe doctrine prevails
or not"

Mexican ELECTIONS VOID
HUERTA CONGRESS CALLS NEW
ELECTIONS FOR NEXT
JULY.
Unless the Rebels Throw Him Out
the Dictator VIII Remain
in Power.

Mexico City. = The Mexican con
gress nullified the recent presidential
elections. New elections are callef
for next July.
Congress, according to this action
expects General Huerta to remain In
the presidency for at least seven
the presidency for at least seven
months more; and if the time neces
sary for the selection and installation
of his successor is taken into con
sideration, it will be well towards the
end of September, next year, before
he yields his power to another.
In voting that the recent presiden
tial election was null, the deputies
decided to fix the first Sunday in
July, 1914, as the date for the new
election. They also confirmed the pc
sition of General Huerta as provision
al president until then,
The action Of the deputies was ac
companied by no debate. The commit
tees report was approved without 9
dissenting vote as rapidly as the arti
cles could be read.
The measures taken also provide
for the election of a new congress
since the one elected to take the
place of that dissolved by Huerta is tc
serve out an unexpired term which
should terminate September Is.
Although there were no dissenting
votes in the chamber on the commit
tee report, it was noted that the
Catholic deputies absented themselves
from the session.

"Mona-Lisa" Is Found.

Florence, Italy.-"Mona-Lise,' Leo
nardo Da Vinci's great painting,
which was stolen from the Louvre, in
Paris, more than two years ago, has
been found. 1t is now in the hands
of the Italian authorities and will be
returned to France. "Mona-Lisa," or
La Joconde," as it is more popularity
known, the most celebrated portrait
of a woman ever painted, has been
the object of exhaustive search in all
quarters of the globe. The mystery
of its abstraction from the Louvre, its
great intrinsic value and the strange
fascination of the smile of the wom-
an it portrayed-Lisa Del Gioconde-
have combined to keep alive interest
in it's recovery.

Peace Proposals Sent to General Villa
by General Mercado, Who is in
Command of Huerta Troops.

Juarez.-SeVen general OF the MeXl-
can regular army are ready to sur
render and the backbone of the Huerta
dictatorship in the north has been
broken.
A peace commission is in Juarez
bearing terms of surrender. The
commission was headed by Odilon
Hernandez, and came from Chihuahua,
bearing a proclamation signed by Gen

tary governor and commander of the
Federal forces in all the north.
The proclamation stated that the
Huerta government was bankrupt, and
was unable to pay its soldiers.
The simultaneous evacuation of other
Federal strongholds in the north is
believed by the rebels to be the re
suit of concerted decision to aban
don the whole of northern Mexico.
The peace proposals were sent ny

Villa, rebel leader, through FREDERICK

state, appointed ad interim. Along
with it came an appeal signed by al

Washington.-Sec Garrison's
first annual report to the president, as
head of the war department, makes no
recommendations for the generally eX-
pected Encouragement Of army posts
to distribute troops in mobile units,
The secretary says that other things
of immediate Importance, particular

ry," will postpone his recommended
lions to congress, but in the meantime
the troops will be garrisoned in as
practical a manner for mobilization as
is possible.
Mr.. Garrison discusses the militia at
some length. He says, in part:
"The national importance of re-
serve system for the organized militia
cannot be questioned The minimum
strength at which militia organiza-
lions are maintained in time of peace
will render necessary a great and i'm
mediate increase in a national emery
ency, and this fact demands the pres
ence of a system of reserves from
which trained men may be secured for
this increase. Without some such sys-

cy of the organizations will have been

REPORT SUBMITTED
! ON AGRICULTURE
UNCLE SANS WORK FOR THE
FARMERS OF THE UNITED
STATES.
WILL PLAN MAIN GROUPS
Secretary Houston Forecasts Reor'
ganzation of the Agricultural
Department.

Washington REORGANIZATION OF the
department of agriculture is fore
Swallowed in Secretary Houston's first
annual report presented to President
Wilson. A plan to be submitted TO
congress in the fiscal estimates Tor
1916 proposes to carry out the work
of the department in five or six main
groups, such as research, state rela'
tons, rural organization, forest serv'
ice, weather and regulation. Such
plan Secretary Houston believes Will
promote coordination.
Plans for redistricting the country
for the enforcement of the pure 1000
law are announced, and the secretary
announces his intention to ask for au'
thorlty to prepare amendments to
the pure food law to improve the
food supply, protect the public health
and promote uniformity in food leg
isiation.
Free distribution of seeds by con
gressmen should be discontinued, the
secretary recommends. He would con
duct in it's stead constructive work
in securing and distributing new seeds
and plants.
Conditions vary widely in the Unit
ed States, says the report, because
farmers do not equally need better
credit arrangements, and all sections
are not similarly circumstanced. II
contends that when all necessary al
owance has been made for fundamen
tal factors, it is probably clear that
he rural communities are not as eff
fciently served as they should be by
existing financial arrangements. The
secretary believes there does not ap
pear to be need for unique or special
egislation which shall aim to give
he farmer credit on easier terms
han other members of society. What
is needed is the creation of conditions
and machinery which shall enable
him on similar credit foundations tc
iecure money at the same rates as
those that prevail for other classes
and for other sections.

COMPARISONS ARE MADE
This Years Crop Will Probably Be
the Most Valuable Ever Known
in the Country

Washington. American cotton
crop for the season of 1894 will
amount to 13,677,000 bales of 500
pounds (not including linters), ac-
cording to the first estimate made by
the government this year through the
crop reporting board, bureau of sta
tistics, department of agriculture, and
announced. This compares with 49,.
703,421 bales of 500 pounds, exclusive
of linters, produced last year, when
the total crop inclusive of linters was
14,313,000 bales of 500 pounds; 49,.
692,701 bales in 1911, which, includ.
ing linters, amounted to 16,250,276
bales; 11,60S,610 bales in 1910, which,
Including linters, amounted to 12,-
O05,6S8 bales; 10,004,949 bales in 1909,
which, including linters, amounted to
13,5S7,306 bales, and 11,107,179 bales
in 1907, which, including linters,
amounted to 1875, 461 bales The
average of the crops of 19O7-11 was
12,391,047 bales, exclusive of linters.
A crop of 6,542,S50,OO0 pounds of
cotton, not including linters, was pro-
duced in the United States during
1913-14, the department of agricul-
ture announced This is the third in
size, that of 1911, which amounted 20
7,459, 100000 pounds, being the recorS
and that of last year, wnen 6,S5l,710,-
900 pounds were grown, being second.
This years crop probably will be the
most valuable ever grown in the Unit
ed States. At the average farm value
of cotton on November 1, which was
IS cents pound, it is worth $780,
570,500 for the lint alone. To this
bout $125,OOO,OOO probably will be
added by value of the seed and lin
tiers. The previous most valuable
crop was that of 1910, which was val
ued at $500, 100000 and with seed and
lint at $963,1SO,OOO.

ed in the house by Representative
Frank Park of Georgia. Judge Park
predicted that the amendment would
