Vera Cruz. Oct. 23.-EarIy today
Gen. Felix Diaz was still at the home
of his brother-in-law. Attorney Al
colea. He had refused up to then to
obey Huerta's order to quit Mexico.
Diaz faces difficult situation. AS
a general he must obey the order or
stand a court martial trial. II he
obeys he will be eliminated from tho
presidential race as a candidate must
be on Mexican soil.
1t is believed that the arrest of Diaz
might cause another revolution.
When the Corcovado arrived gov
ernment representative attempted to
induce Gen. Diaz to continue his yoy-
age to Tampico. From the moment of
his landing he has professed his in
tention of continuing the political
fight, although close followers have
suggested this would be futile in view
Of Huerta's blanket ticket.
In speech from the balcony Of a
hotel to few hundred workingmen
gathered to greet him despite police
orders against demonstrations, Gen.
Diaz reiterated his purpose of contin-
uing the campaign. but members Of
the committee that had come here to
welcome him were convinced he would
not be permitted to finish the politi-
cal contest.
While there was no disorder here
Wednesday, twelve arrests were made
in connection with Diazs coming.
Four of the prisoners are army off
GERS. They are held in barracks sub
jeet TO instructions from Mexico City.
The officers were members of the
committee named as special embas-
sy to Japan, of which Gen. Diaz some
months ago was the head
The officers were instructed to re-
main at Havana, but allege that a
shortage of funds forced them to dis
obey the orders For this they were
arrested. Three of the prisoners are
Italians, who are accused of planning
the assassination of Diaz. The others
are partisans of Diaz who are charged
with attempting to influence the po-
lice in favor of their leader if demon
strations occurred.

SOCIALISM At A L

A course in Socialism will be In
cluded in the ~curriculem at Yale Col
lege next year. which is an indication
of the growing interest in this ques-
ton. There is probably no question
before the people today that is of more
ly understood. and the colleges should
meet this emergency. The Socialist
party In this country has peen looked
upon with suspicion. Being an i'm
ported article and advocated largely
by a foreign element hat breaches
the doctrines of Marx and Engels.
Socialists have been looked upon as
communists and anarchists. In view
Of some Of the elements that have at
tached themselves &c that party as
supporters and agitators that view was
not without some Justification.
This impression has done much to
prevent a sincere study OF Socialism.
The Socialist party with an this
handicap OF poor leadership ma n
press so extreme as to drive people
away from the cause. has been rapidly
gaining strength. The election last
November showed remarkable growth
over the vote cast In 1908.
This country will not endorse So
cialism as represented by that party

merit and appeal strongly 10 the peo-
pie. Fairness. liberty. Justice and
