probability that nearly 400 men per"

for tho invitation to be present and
spoke on the attitude OF the city govern
ment toward the people. The mayor said
that the commission was forced to change
entirely the government OF Salt Lake
when II cnme into office and expressed a
hope that It's work had met with the ap-
proval Of the people. He said II had
been the purpose OF the commission to put
into office the man who was most eff
client and to obviate anything of a poljti-

his progress. He sketched the various
systems of education which had arisen
under this belief and concluded that they
were all based upon one fundamental er
ror-the supremity Of man. He then do
clared that the basis OF education was
not "suprems man." but supreme God, -
He said that education without the ideal
OF the Supreme God was not complete and
must fall.

ment upon his assumption of both exec

and that In view OF his course, could not
regard as constitutional the elections
planned for October 2s.
Two notes were sent. the one strongly
phrased and written BY Secretary Bryan,
lnquiring about the safety OF the Impris-
oned members OF the sfexican congress
and the other drawn in forcefuI language
by President Wilson himself and said to
constitute practically the last effort of
the Washington government to deal with
the Huerta authorities by diplomatic
means unless there Is Il decided change

Mexico City.

state department accepted the indorse-
ment OF FREDERICK Gamboa for tho pres
idency as meaning the elimination of
Huerta and where II was confidently
hoped that a fair and free election would
be held on October 20. Now. however.
President Wilson has made 1t clear that
the Washington government, in view of
the events OF the laat few days-the Inn

tablishment of a dicta torship by Huerta

Official notification was sent today
after a cabinet meeting by Secretary
Bryan to John Lind and Charge
o 'Shaughnessy that the United States
does not and Will not recognize the

The state department understands by
adyices from Mexico City that three or
four Of the European nations have
taken the same view as this country as
to the acts of Dictator Huerta. This
foreign action is not, however, taken
conformity with the United States, but
concurrently.
The official report that Germany is
rushing a cruiser to Mexican waters is
regarded as one of the highest impor-
tance by ali officials Of the govern
ment for these reasons:
THAT it has been announced
that even after the withdrawal of
American citizens from Mexico on

continue to exercise a paternal,
