Give Them a Rest

"There is one set Of office
holders in Washington and per-
haps other cities" says an ex-
change, "that ought to be given
a good long rest, we mean the
negro office holders. )" Perhaps
so. 1t is said that many negro
office holders of both sexes, in
Washington have become
disagreeably and disgustingly
arrogant, and the influence of
this class upon the younger
negroes does not make for peace
between the races. No doubt a
sufficient number of white peo-
pie can be found to fill the
places Of these negroes who dis
placed white men and women
under the Republican administra
ton of the past. -Clinch Valley

President and Bryan
Holding Conferences
On Mexican Situation

The relations between the United States
and the Huerta government yesterday
were more strained than at any time
since President Wilson began considera-
ton of the Mexican problem.
So genuinely critical do administration
officials consider the present aspects of
the situation that they were unwilling last
night to discuss the question in any way
The program which President Wilson and
Secretary of State Bryan are endeavor-
ing to put through in Mexico City is so
susceptible to shock that il was conceded
that premature publicity might destroy
all possibility of effecting a satisfactory
solution of the problem.
Secretary Bryan was at the State De-
partment last night in communication
with his representatives in Mexico. He
was in conference with President Will
son in the afternoon. The steps taken
by the administration were decided upon
in the conference at the White House,
and in the light of the dispatches re-
ceived at the Department of State.
Messages were received from John Lind
at Vera Cruz Nelson O'Shaughnessy, at
the Embassy in Mexico City. and Will
lam B. Hale, at the Carranza headquar-
tiers at Nogales.
Advices received from Lind and
O'Shaughnessy confirmed, it is under
stood, the unofficial accounts of the
continued defiance of President Huerta,
and the Haunting of his defiance in the
face of the United States by his per-
mitting the meeting Of the newly-elected
Congress
There l. reason to believe that an at
tempt will be made by President Wilson
10 force Huerta out by threat of rup-
ture. On this account instructions to
O'Shaughnessy TO notify President
Huerta that if the congress is not dis
solved and himself out of the Presidency
within a brief period. he will withdraw
the American Embassy from the Mex
ican capital would occasion no surprise.
The purpose of such action. If finally
adopted, will be to frighten Huerta into
the conviction that il he persists in his
course, he will have the armed forces
of the United States upon him.
Administration officials last night
declined to comment on the fact when
Informed of the ousting of Minister
Adalpe from the Huerta Cabinet, pre-
