WANT HUERTA RECOGNIZED
UNLESS THIS Is DONE, 1T is
URGED, FOREIGNERS ARE
NOT PROTECTED
AN INQUIRY is MADE
UNITED STATES is REQUESTED
TO INFORM WORLD WHAT
1T PLANS TO DO

Washington, July 15.-One of the
great European powers, through it's
diplomatic representative here, has
called the attention of Secretary Bry-
an to the chaotic condition in Mexico
and the effect upon the welfare of its
citizens there, with polite inquiry as
to what the United States proposes
to do.
Whether the inquiry was part of a
concerted movement on the part Of
European powers to bring the state
department to a declaration of its
purpose toward Mexico did not de-
velop today Reports from the. City
Of Mexico would appear to warrant
that conclusion. Until very recently
President Wilson has attached little
Importance to rumors of outside in
fluence being brought to bear to
cause the United States to recognize
the Huerta regime.
1t is beginning to be apparent now
that there must be very soon some
official declaration on the subject to
.reassure the European powers of the
protection u sheir citizens and sab-
jects against pecuniary loss by the
continuance of present conditions.
Failing, some officials fear that Eu-
ropean powers may themselves take
steps to restore peace.
Bryan Keeps silence.
Secretary Bryan was asked today
if any foreign power had made rep
reservations to him regarding the sit
uation in Mexico. His reply was a
flat declination to discuss the sub
iect in any way. The diplomatic cir
Gle here has its own idea of which
power the inquiring one is, but in
the absence of any announcement
from the state department, none Of
the diplomats will make any state
ment which could be quoted with au-
thority.
That one power has made inquiry,
however, is known positively, No Of
ficial Of the state department. will
discuss the situation in view Of Sec
retary Bryan's declination to talk
about it.

ASKS MONGOLIAN AUTONOMY
WANTS OUTER PORTION or THAT
COUNTRY RECOGNIZED AS
SEPARATE NATION
OPPOSITION is AROUSED
BOTH HOUSES OF THE PARLIA-
MENT DECLARE THEY WILL
REFUSE CONCESSIONS

Peking, China, July 15.--Russia to-
day suddenly presented to the Chinese
government new demands requiring
recognition Of the full autonomy Of
outer Mongolia, declaring China to be
suzerain only, binding China to accept
Russian intermsdjation and recognize
& all the rights conceded to Russia
by the agreement and protocol signed
at Urga, the capital Of Mongolia. on
November 8, 1912.
Both houses Of he Chinese parlia-
ment have been hastily summoned to
consider the demands. Strcng opposi-
ton &c them is voiced by both Chin
ese and foreigners, and great exicte-
ment prevails at the unexpected turn
Of events.
Two American warships, the gun
boats Helena and Samar. are in the
international fleet off Kiu Kiang Chi
cage, where heavy fighting is in prog
ress between the northern govern
ment forces and the provincial troops
of Kiangsi province,
Todays eispatches to the state de-
partment say that the many foreign
ers at Kui Kiang are unguarded, but
that no anti-foreign sentiment is be-
Heved to exist The report from the
American legation at Peging says
the result of this fighting is as yet
unknown. Road and telegraphic com
munication to huling, the summer re-
sort for foreigners in central China,
is interrupted
The troops in Kiang 81 province
are said to have been the aggres-
sors. The movement is headed by
the former military governor Of Kiang
ST. who was recently removed from
office and who mas as allies General
Huang fishing, one Of the leaders Of
the nationalist or southern party, and
the president Of the national senate.
The agreement, signed at Urga In
November was as follows:
by an agreement signed on Nocem-
Der 8, Russia undertakes to all Mon
golia and to maintain The autonomous
government which she aas established.
She win support her right 10 nlaiatain
a national existence and exclude both
the presence OF Chinese troops and the
colonization OF her territory By the
Chinese. The Mongonan sovereign
and government will assure 10 Rus
sian subjects and Russian commerce
as heretofore full enlargement Of
the rights and privileges enumerated
in the protocol, no other foreign sub
ject in Mongolia being granted fuller
rights than those Of Russia"
The recently proposed agreement de-
clared that Russia acknowledged out
er Mongolia as Chinese territory,
while China agreed that Mongolia was
to have autonomy The Peking gov
ernment agreed not to send soldiers
into outer Mongolia, which was to
have its own officers and police. Rus
sia agreed not to send soldiers into
Mongolia except as consular guards In
accordance with the terms Of previous
treaties. She further agreed not to,
send colonists into Mongolia, but re
tained the extensive commercial priv
ileges accorded in treaties with the
head Llama Of Mongolia.

INSURE
YOUR EXPENDITURES

You can insure yourself
against fire, burglary, Illness,
accident and death, in fact,
against almost any calamity
you can imagine. There are
big companies that look after
such matters for you and to
whom you pay certain stipu-
lated premiums.
You and your family can
start a little insurance company
Of your own for the protection
Of your purse. Is this way you
will be both insurer and in
sured.
BY buying the Optic each day
and taking few minutes time
to read the advertisements you
can protect yourself against
the loss oecasioned by foolish
buying. You and your family
owe it to yourselves to make
sure that every dollar spent is
well spent.
There is no better way to do
this than to familiarize your
self with the best articles man
ufactured and offered for sale
in the leading shops This in
formation may be had by read
ing the Advertising columns Of
the optic systematically and
regularly.

an oRcHARD.GARDEE.

Continued from last week--CDncluded.
Strawberries properly treated are
sure crop III this region. and for
delicacy of favor the ''boughten"
berries shipped in cannot compare
with the fully ripe. juicy. delicious
homegrown product. The vines
require here, as much farther south,
six or eight inches of straw for COW
ering in winter. Don't use manure;
1t is too dense and heavy and will
smother the plants. When you un-
cover the plants in spring leave on
an inch and half or two inches of
the straw. II acts as q mulch, and
besides. it keeps the berries clean.
Without it you will lose many that
are too dirty for use. We always
set out Strawberries in August or in
the spring. Straw berries, to pro-
duce fruit. must have q plentiful
supply Of water. We sprinkle ours
with sprinkler attached TO the end
of the hose, which throws water over
a considerable area at one setting.
There is popular idea that water
just from the well is bad for vege-
tation. We have never found il
that way. We have run water fresh
from the well around trees and
sprinkled it on vines and vegetables
in the bright sunlight of a hot day,
and have never seen any difference
in its effects from that which is put
on milk warm from the tank. See
how it is in nature. A storm comes
up on hot. sunshiny day. Hail
may fall. with rain at both ends and
in the middle. The rain water ia al
