AMERICA ASKS A
STRAIGHT QUESTION
Lind Will Ask huerta in Re-
gard to Election
PRES. WILSON INFORMS FOREIGN
COMMITTEE AS TO POLICY.
Nothing to be Done Until Word Is
Received from Lind, who arrived in
Mexico City, Sunday.

Washington-President Wilson took
into his confidence Saturday night the
entire senate foreign relations COM
mittee, Republicans as well as Demo-
Gratis, and outlined frankly the policy
he believes the United States ought to
pursue toward Mexico.
While John Lind, personal repre-
sentative OF the president, passed over
night at Vera Cruz, exchanging mes
sages by wireless with officials in
Washington, the president discussed
with the senate committee for the
first time during his administration
matter of foreign policy.
Though the president has been con-
stantly in touch with Chairman Bacon,
yelled charges of partisan politics and
the lack OF information among the
Republicans caused him to meet the
entire committee, regardless of party,
to canvass the situation.
The president gave the committee
all the information he has gathered on
the Mexican situation, referred briefly
to the incidents on which he had
formed his judgment of what ought to
be done by the United States and ex-
planned the general purposes of Mr..
Lind's mission. Secretary Bryan also
was present at the conference, the an
nounced purpose of which was to bring
the executive and legislative branches
of the government into closer accord.
Whether the conference would have
any immediate effect on the mission
of Mr.. Lind was not apparent early,
in the night. The presidents plans
were to have Mr.. Lind confer aboard
the Louisiana with Rear Admiral
Fletcher and arrange for his journey
to Mexico City. Captain William A.
Burnside, military attache to the en-
bassy in Mexico City, may go to Vera
Cruz to escort Mr.. Lind to the Mexi-
can capital, though no definite infOr-
nation to that effect was forthcoming
at the government departments here.
The arrival Of William Bayard Hale
in Vera Cruz from Mexico City has
strengthened the belief here that DR..
Hale, an intimate friend of President
Wilson, and for the last three months
the presidents unofficial investigator
of the situation in Mexico, would give
Mr.. Lind the benefit of his experience
in making plans for the next two days.
| Mr.. Lind will wait in Vera Cruz and
receive further instructions Sunday
night from Washington. 1t is believed
he then will proceed directly to Mexi-
CO City, arriving Monday. The dispo-
sition here is not to hurry Mr.. Lind's
journey on account Of what the ad-
'--~4'cr regards as misrepresen-

The toughest American wood is that
of the Usage orange, which is not
an orange at all, but belongs to the
nettle family. This has just been
proved by series of tests made by
the United States forest service, but
the Indians knew it before the com
ing of the white man and 1t was
known to them as the bow tree, be-
cause they used it for making their
finest bows.
Some idea Of its strength may be
had from a report just made by the
forest service, which shows that a
block 30 inches long and inches by
inches in cross section when bent
breaks under a stress of 1860
pounds, its nearest rival being a
variety of the hickory called mocker.

UNDERGROUND hammer it stands a
stress of 1880 pounds, certain sugar

nearest rivals. 1t exceeds the hickor-

In future when we want to discover

been studying the feet Of the nations
each has its own peculiar national
characteristics, which form an import
ant clew to the race to which owner
belongs.
Thus the French foot, it is pointed

Generous Reformer.

Miss Augusta De Peyster is q
charming young lady OF Knicker
booker descent who does noble mis-
sionary work among New York's float
ing sailor population.
Miss De Pedster's work Is unique In
that she believes in helping the sailor
no matter how prodigal or dissipated
or nonconforming he may be. She
also believes in a very generous, very
liberal type Of charity. i-
Often her views are expressed In
epigrams, as:
Don't scold reprobate. for men
are like eggs-left In hot water they
harden"
Or again:
AS long as virtue Is its own re-
ward. 1t il apt to be spasmodic."

Fifty Years Of History.

These are the semi-centennial years
of the Civil war-years in which one
may follow from day to day the events
OF that unparalleled conflict, and
trace from stage to stage the poll
cies which guided it and to which 1t
gave birth. Fifty years seems brief
space through which to regard an his
torical interval of four years duration,
although in other lights so years Is a
far reach of time-half a century!
And when we top to reflect that so
years represents more than one-third
of the life of the republic to this date,
and that the republic was only IS
years old when the Civil war burst
into violence. we gain some sense Oh
the potency of the years.
