The hot springs are known the world over, and I do not hesitate to urge that the govern, ment should utilize all it's power in bringing the curative properties of these waters to the attention of the | sick, wherever they may reside"

Attempt Would Be Made to Compose Situation if Mexican President
 Was Eliminated,

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington.-Tho every official of the United States government has been cautioned to maintain absolute silence while the plans of the Wash ington administration for solving the Mexican problem are worked out, it became known from many well-in- formed sources that a supreme effort is being made to bring about Gen. Vic toriano Huerta's retirement from the provisional presidency of Mexico.
 The success of any plan for con stitutional election that may be pro- posed, especially insofar as it would contemplate participation by the Con- stitutionalists, depends on the elimina- tion of Huerta. Since he promised to turn over the executive power after an election, the American government in now waiting for some declaration on his part.
 Should Huerta retire in favor of an- other, there is possibility that the United States may attempt to compose the situation through his successor But if the elections are declared in- valid by Huerta, so that he may con. tinue in power, the Washington admin istration, 1t is pointed out, would look upon such a proclamation as an evt dence of the incapacity of the provis- 1onal authorities to conduct an cleo tion and might come forth with defi- nite proposals to assist in habilitating the governmental machinery of the country.
 Just now the future policy of the United States is being quietly and in formally made known in displomatic circles abroad and there are intima- tions that before many days foreign governments will have been appraised of the American attitude.
