SENATE URGED To APPROPRIATE
MONEY TO PROTECT AMERIC0NS
Continued from previous page)

dent Wilson is not backed up by con-
gress or the American people in his
stand against recognition of the Huerta
government
Referring to the attacks on the
Washington administration by mem
bers of congress and pointing to the
official recommendations of am baSSa-
dor Henry Lane Wilson advising recoS-
milton, Huerta declares he is entitled to
be recognized. He holds that the
emOcratic party's power is temporary
and argues that recognition of his gov
eminent is a partisan question IN the
United States.
Though it is said negotiations be-
tween Lind and Huerta are continuing
On a cordial basis, neither side is re-
ceding from its position and alter
native measures already are under con-
slderatiOu here
To grant arms to the rebels, however,
would in the opinion of many officials,
only add to the dangers Of anarchy IN
the republic, eQUipping bandits with
arms for the destruction Of property
That the united States will keep
hands off, is considered more than
likely in many quarters.
A Precedent Cited
Those who believe this way, point to
an important precedent for such action
during the term Of president Hayes
when Gen. POrfirio Diaz assumed the
reigns of government on May 2, 1877,
after defeating the forces of president
Lerdo. Germany recognized Diaz on
May 80 of that year, Salvador and
Guatemala on June and Spain on
June 16. There were no other govern
ments except the United States repre-
scented at Mexico City at that time.
1t was not until May, 1873. nearly
year after Diaz came into possession
of the de facto government that recog-
milton was extended by the United
States. During the interval CORE
spondence was maintained through the
legation as at present through the en-
bassy, due attention being called to
the necessity for protecting American
lives and property.

Gen Huerta'S refusal to accede TO the

in replying to WashingtOn's pointed re-

At the American embassy no one is

not appear very optimistic on this
score. The Mexican government is not

amicable arrangement Well Informed
Mexicans and foreign residents see
little probability of further negotia-

there is an element in the government

.DOWREY OPTIMISTIC
OVER 1918 BUSINESS

The business of the Dowrey Mer-
camille company, during 1912 was
fully 80 per cent better than during
1911, according to Manager w. r.
Dowrey. who talked with The Senti-
mel today. business was never SO
good at the Dowrey store.
1"'l do not look for as large an in
crease this year. although from the
way things are starting out it ought
to be good one. January was a
great deal better this year than in
1912, and if the same rate of in
crease maintains it will be easily 30
pre- cent again.
Il can see no reason why any
store in the city can experience poor
business now. Things are in good
shape, and while business is by no
means heavy or spectacular it shows
healthy glow that makes a mer-
chant satisfied and collections are
very satisfactory. | hope every bust

The Valentine.

Next to our rejection of Santa Claus
the worst thing that the sophistica-
tion of time does for us is to de-
stroy our interest in the other best
dates in the calendar. II some of us
strove to keep that interest alive we
might know life better and live longer.
One of these days is St Valentine S,
now near at hand. There was a time
in life of most men and women of
middle age today when the approach
of February IA meant a thrill. 1t was
a day of sentiment and humor. To the
very young it was an occasion for the
exhibition of irresponsible and fire.
quently cruel play in the dispatch of
"comic"-and mostly coarse-valen-
tines. Old maids and bachelors and
other grownups of well known weak
nesses and tender sensibilities suffer
ed most, but even these could afford
to forgive and ignore the thoughtless
effrontery of children. The other and
elaborate valentines, however, if sent
anonymously. bore a mysterious, even
celestial message. There are many
thousands of women still living to-
day who have some of these lacy col
orful creations preserved in lavender.
And why not? There Is all too little
of the tender and innocent expression
of distant and respectful regard for
women to be noted among men just
now, and altogether too much of a

Centuries Have Failed to Dim the
Memory of the Good Old
Saint.
DISPUTE AS TO HIS IDENTITY
At Least Two Bishops of Ancient
Times Have Been Credited With
the Honor of Being the Founder
OF the Day Consecrated
to Cupid.

NT. VALENTINE OF blessed men,
ory, whose natal day falls upon
~ the 14th of February, seems to
be the saint OF this particular
season. His customs, which have sur
vived the lapse of centuries, are as
sociated in our minds with the send
ing Of various amatory epistles, and
the rather more agreeable gifts and
presents. which are occasionally sent

New York and New Workers still
retain memories of the saint, who
seems to have been like his associate.
the good st. Nicholas, a patron saint
of the Netherlands, and in this CON
nection we, perhaps on account of our
Dutch ancestry, celebrate his festival
with kettledrum, says the New York
Times. Far back in the mists of an
tiquity lies the origin of the custom
of sending letters. or valentines, on
the saints day. while the original St
Valentine would appear to be gifted
with as many lives as the proverbial
cat, or reincarnations under the same
title, for we find two bishops of the
name, a Virgin martyr, and a Tyro-
lean saint, all of whom have authentic
records of their lives and deaths pre-
served in history, and none of whom
would seem to be in any way con-
nected with the valentines of today.
However. il is always possible to
reconcile the two or three, and there
is sufficient evidence to show that st.
Valentine, a bishop of Rome. who died
in 27s A. D., was born on the 14th of
February, and he is so set down In
the Roman and Anglican calendars.
He was a martyr to his faith. and
when cast into prison by his enemies
he cured his keepers daughter of
blindness, for which miracle he was
beaten with clubs and then beheaded.
and his remains repose in the Church
St, Praxades, at Rome, while a gate
now known as the Porto Popolo was
formerly called by the name of st.
Valentine. or Porto Valentino.
Another Valentine. also a Bishop,
claims a share in the day, and his
claim to saintship rests upon the cure
of the son of. Grafton, the Rhetorician.
His death was caused by choking on
fishbone, whether of his own choos-
ing or administered by his enemies

full youth attired in the dress of Ro-
