organization of Mexican
Congress May Force Hand
of the President.
M RADICAL CHANGE
Germany's Activity Is Noticeable
Victoria Under Control Of the
Rebels.

Z washington, Nov. 1S.-While the
resident still maintains silence as to
Nh policy in Mexico it is believed in
official circles that the meeting OF
tho Mexican congress in defiance Of
his wishes will force his hand tomor-
row. It is pointed out that if Huerta' s
order that congress organize be car
ried out, the administration will have
no one with which to deal further.
The President has declared all along
that he has been dealing with de-
facto government. The Mexican gov
ernment of tomorrow, according to the
understanding here cannot be recog-
nized even if it be defacto and there is
noa kher government in Mexico.
Naval authorities today say that
President Wilson cannot order a
blockade of the Mexican ports without
authority of congress. This statement
was made by officials in view of the
report from the cabinet meeting to
day that the President was within a
few days to send additional ships to
the east and ives tcoast of Mexico to
establish blockade.
The President and his cabinet dis
cussed the Mexican situation today.
but it was stated after the meeting
that here, had been no radical change
in the attitude of this government to-
wards Mexico. Secretary Bryan said
| that there was no confirmation here
| that General Banquet was about to
succeed Huerta. Secretary Bryan al
so declined blank to state whether the
President would move otherwise than
he has done in the event that both
houses of the Mexican cIrgress pro-
coed to business as they have quor-
UNI in both branches.
The State Department persists to-
day in its statement that it does not
know Of any effort made by this gov
eminent to investigate the charges of
murder of federal soldiers in Juarez.
The naval activity of Germany is all
the more notable because the United
States has the Battleship Nebraska Oft
Tampico for the purpose of protect
ing American citizens and other forl
eign residents.
The news as to Tampico come to-
da yfrom Vera Cruz, where it is stat
ed that all bridges between Tampico
and Victoria have been destroyed and
rain traffic totally suspended and
tracks to the north and south of Vic
loria torn up.

Soliciting Committees Hope 70 Have
5000 CbaIked Up by Noon
Today.

The campaign for $4,000 which is
being pushed by the local Y. VI. G.
A. had a big boost last night throu III
the first full meeting of the CAM
pagn teams. The whole plan is being
set up by the visiting specialists on
finances according to the approved
methods which have brought the
Young Mems Christian Association
over $500 100000 during the past six
teen years.
The special campaign which has
been carried on by the local Associa-
ton has prepared the soil. The en-
thusiam OF the largest constituents
has been raised by the big spread on
Monday night and the teams received
their final instructions at a special
supper at the Association muilding
last night. AT headquarters there
is a score board indicating that the
amount to be secured is $4,000 and
the following team captains are on
the job to do the work.

Special, Fred Fox, and Elmo Mash.
These captains have secured and
pledged five men each to assist them
in the campaign and this morning
they will begin the active work
of securing the amount necessary.
The Association is undertaking quite
an enterprise in endeavoring to meet

time it has the confidence OF the COM
munity in an unusual way AID the
workers feel confident OF results. IL
is believed that by noon today one
fourth of the amount viii be raised
for it was rumored around last night
that the team captains had some
Juicy looking subscriptions stored
away in their pockets.
One the big front window pane or
the Association building bulletin
board has been established which Will
show the progress OF each days work
and the campaigners propose to see
not less than $500 chalked UP there
at 1890 o'clock today. At the sup
per last night the campaign mana
ger, who is from Texas, introduced a
new word which he calls 'spizzerinK-
tum." This, he declares, is the COM
modify which it takes to make Y.
M. c. A. campaign successful. His
connection will be thoroughly tested
at noon today. A number OF ladies

Big Discovery Near
In World of Chemistry

LONDON. July 3.-Prof. Thane. at the
assembly of faculties at University Col
lege yesterday, made a striking refer
ence to the remarkable series of in
vestigations of Prof. Collie. in conjunc-
ton with Prof. Patterson. made and
brought to a successful Issue during the
session.
Profs. Collie and Patterson investi-
gated the effects produced on cases at
low pressure by high potential electric
discharges. AS a result OF these in
vestigations, said Prof. Thane. II is Eow
established that neon and heiium can
be obtained when an electrical dis
charge passes through hydrogen. I'm
der suitable conditions other products
of hitherto unknown character can
also be obtained. These startling re-
suits would indicate either a synthesis
or a transmutation of elements, or
maybe both combined.
II is no overstatement to say that this
will prove to be one Of the greatest dis
coveries ever made in chemistry, and
that II will possibly lead to the solution
of the fundamental problem of chemical
science, namely, the nature and reIa-

ton given out today by ealHth Officer

DDS Of prevention and personal clean
illness.
1T has been said that each death
from typhoid fever is murder. and
that some careless person is respon-
sible," continued DR.. woodward. This

cific germ known as the typhoid bacil-
lus. This germ, in most cases, enters
the system through the mouth with

CHAPTER XXXvII.
Cicely Makes Her Choice.

~OCIETY, over whose borders Doug
las had once before passed under
4 the tutelage Of Emily de Reuss,
opened her doors to him now
freely, and Douglas. convinced that here
was a solitude which the four walls
Of his chambers in Adam street, peopled
as they were with memories. could
never offer. passed willingly inside. For
whatever hospitalities were offered
him, always with all unacknowie ieused
hope that chance might offer him at
least a glimpse Of the woman who
was destined to be the one great in
fiuence of his life.
possibilitis of meeting her seemed best,
and he listened continually and with ILL
suppressed eagerness for any mention
OF her name. 1t chanced, however, that
even the latter faint consolation was
denied to him, and he neither saw any
thing of her at the houses of her friends
nor came across her name in the papers
which, as a rule, never failed to chron-
icle her doings. At the club they
chaffed him mercilessly-a rabid tuft-
hunter. or had he political ambitions? +?
He chaffed back again and held his
own, as usual, but not soul, save
perhaps Drexley. understood him in
those days. Then there came to him
one day a sudden fear. She was surely
ill-or she had disappeared. He caught
UP his hat and coat and walked swiftly
to Grosyenor square.
He reached the house and stopped
short In front of IL. N seemed to him
TO have a gloomy, almost an uninhaL-
tied appearance. For a few moments
he struggled with himself-with his
pride, a vague sense of alarm every mo-
ment growing stronger as the disman-
o. 49,
apparent to him. Then he walked up
the steps and rang the bell.
A servant in plain clothes answered i
after delay which WAS In itself sig
nificant. He appeared surprised at
Douglas inquiry. knowing him well as
frequent visitor at the house. The
countess had left for abroad several
days since-he believed for Russia, and
for a considerable time. The servants
were all discharged and the house ito
let;" he himself remained only as care
taker. Douglas walked back again into
the streets with a heart like lead and IA
mist before his eyes. She had taken him
at his word then-he had lost her. After
all, II was the inevitable.
Mechanically at first, and afterward
with a purpose, he turned southwark tc
the tiny fiat where Cicely had estah-
lished herself. A trim little maid-serv-
ant showed him into her room, and sh"
welcomed him with outstretched hands.
Yet he saw in the dim lamplight that
her cheeks were pale and there was
some measure OF restraint in her greet
ing.
"You have come at last. then" she
said, gayly enough. Now you must le:
me give you some tea and afterward
You must tell me what you think of my
rooms. or course, / haven't finished
furnishing yet. but they're nice, aren't
thye?"
He looked round approvingly. Every
thing was very simple but dainty and

/, ate, to escape from the turmoil OF the
last few months.
Here at least was rest. The very
LONELINESS of the little scene awoke In
him the domestic instinct-heritage of
his middle-class ancestors. Cicely chat
tered geyly to him. She was very
charming in her dark red dress. and she
had so much to say about this sudden
fame which had come to him-so well
deserved so brilliantly won.
Her face was aglow with pleasure; a
wave OF tenderness swept over him.
He felt that it would be very pleasant
to take her into his arms, to forget,
with her little hands in his, those days
Of madness when he had yielded HIM
self up to wild and passionate dreams
Of things impossible. Better to bury
them, to take such measure Of happi-
ness as would at least insure content
Life would surely be sweeter and an
easier thing lived out to the light music
Of the violins. than PLAYED to the deep
storm throbbings Of the great orchestra.
So he broke in upon her laughing con-
gratulations and faced her gravely.
You had my letter, Cicely?"
Her face changed, her eyes sought his
nervously.

She leaned over toward him.

He glanced at her quickly. She held
up her hand.

said. You see, Douglas. when you
asked me to be your wife / believed
that you cared for me-well-altogethe
