James r. Mann, the Re. ablican laad-
er OF the house, declared in the course
OF debate that war between the United
States and Mexico is inevitable anu
that the president is making arrange
mems accordingly. -....
The fact that the Democrats allowed
this statement to go unchallenged mas
added to its significance. Mr.. Mann S
prophecy OF war with Mexico came as
a surpr Sc and created deep imp9es'
sion in the house. It added TO the I'M
portance OF a bill called up by Rep4e
sen .ative Hay, of Virg MIA, and later
passed, authorizing the president 10
raise yolun. eer forces lin time of act
uaI or threatened war"
Mr.. Mann said solennly that the llay
bill was part Of the plan OF the gov
ernment to get itself in readiness 'or
war with Mexico. From the moment
that Mr.. Mann took part in the debate
interest in the proceedings were emily
ened and the voluntary army Dill
was passed by unanimous vote.
Predicting war with Mexico, Mr..
Mann said: Il should greatly regret
such a war. l do not see any escape
from chaos and anarchy in Mexico un'
der the plan which we are now pursu
ing. Of course, if that runs very long
it means war"
Mr.. Mann told of the situation that
obtained in congress just before the
war with Spain and suggested that
the appearance of the Hay bill on the
day following President Wilson's pab'
lie discussion of the Mexican sltua
ton in his message was significant.
The Hay bill, which provides for a
voluntary army to be raised in the
discretion of the president, now gees
to the senate. 1t was said that boIy
will take immediate action upon the
measure.
Color Is given to the statement OF
Mr. Mann that the administration Is
preparing for trouble by the haste that
marked the passage of the Hay bill.
Inc measure was uCl GU iSpOAS ~
a special meeting of the military al
fairs committee OH Tuesday and given
the right of way in the house imme-
diately after the transaction of some
routine business.
Further evidence in support OF Mr..
Mann's belief that the administration
is preparing for trouble was found In
an announcement made by Democratic
leaders that early next week the Louise
will pass the naval military bill. This
bill proposes to enlarge and gender
the naval militia more efficient, plac-
ing it on a foundation somewhat SINH
lar to that upon the land militia rests.
That is, the naval mill ary will be pro-
yided with more me nand more ade-
quate equipment.

Girl Attacked; Hair Cut OFF.
For the second time within a week
a small girl has been attacked near

The latest victim is Sarah Gehret,

The flames spread swiftly through the

All of the victims were poverty

MAY RECOGNIZE {
MEXICAN REBELS
Believe u S. COntanpates Step
to Eliminate Bu,rla.
DICTATO,n, SEkDS FAMILY AWAY
Secretly Left Mexico City on Nov. 80
to Take Up Their Residence Ia Vera
Cruz.

Advices received in washington in.
dicate that certain TO. Ell II govern
ments have recently reached the con-
clusion that the United States is again
con. emplating retogni i'm OF the Con-
suiutional.s,s as step tow rd So
luton of the Mexican problem and
eliminating Huerta.
There is some reason to believe,
however, that this idea of other inter-
ested governments is In part due to
their intense desire that the United
States do something to bring relief to
the situation. Their impatience at the
watch and watt policy is well known
and it is understood that there has
been no hesitation on their part In
making this feeling known to the Unit
ed States.
The result has been sort of indi-
rect pressure on the administration to
do something to hasten indirectly at
least to solve the difficulty in Mexico.
Recognition of the Constitutionalists
has appeared to some European diplo-
matists as the next likely move OF
President Wilson as long as this gov
ernment adheres to its policy of acting
only indirectly upon Huerta.
No confirmation of the reported in
tention to recognize the Constitution
alists could be obtained. 1t is regard
ed as likely, however, that some step
will be taken to assist the revolution
lists, short of actual recognition.
Advices to the state department re-
ported that the situation in the Aca-
pulco district is growing worse. This
has been a center of anti-Amerlcan-
ism. Merchants from outlying districts
are removing to the city Of Acapulco.
From Ladero it is reported that the
exodus of refugees from Monterey and
vicinity continues.

URGES PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY

on Currency and Says Antitrust
Law Should Stand, Supplemented ~
More Explicit Legislation.
President Wilson read his first an
nual message to congress On Td"s'
day at joint session Of botn bra..ch-
es in the house chamber.
The message, among the briefest OF
documents of its kind from any pres-
dent, and some 5000 words long, re'
quired less than thirty minutes foa
reading, though it treated upon a Va'
riety of subjects.
This was the third time the presl'
dent had personally addressed COM
gress, the two previous occasions be-
ing the expression of his views on the
tariff and the Mexican situation. TAis
was the first opportunity he had or
communicating his views and recon-
mendations regarding the state Of M
union.
The Mexican situation, Pre- !7oAs
Wilson dismissed with bries co7:I II,
reiterating the sentiments he .r -
ed in a special address to i /,
upon the same subject some tie
and expressed the belief tha1 -
Huerta government slowly was cru
bling and that the United States Fl
ably would not be obliged to alter !
policy of waiting.
The following are the other salient
features in the message:
Currency.-The president ple2ds for
early final action on the currency bill,
and makes special point of the neei
of a rural credit system.
Antitrust Laws.-"I think 1t VII
be easily agreed that we should lct
the Sherman antitrust law stand, un'
altered, as it is, with its debatab.s
ground about 1t, but that we shon'
as much as possible reduce the are,
of that debatable ground by furthea
and more explicit legislation" Tha
president promises a special message
on this subject later.
President Primaries.-"I urge th7
prompt enactment of legislation that
will provide for primary elections
throughout the country at which th1
voters of the several parties may
choose their nominees for the presi'
dency without the intervention of nom
mating conventions"
Philippines.-"We must hold stead
lily in view their ultimate independ-
ence, and we must move toward the
time of that independence as steadily
as the way can be cleared and tho
foundations thoughtfully and perma'
nently laid"
Alaska.-"Alaska as storehous1
should be unlocked. One key to 1t Is
system of railways. - Thesi
the government should itself build AMI
administer, and the ports and terml'
nails it should itself control in the in
terest of all who wish to use ten fot
