REVOLUTION.
in dealing with the problem that the
United States was not fulfilling its
part.
Lifting the embargo on the insur-
gents would mean that the latter could
fortify themselves and could carry on
indefinitely a warfare such as they
have maintained for the last six
months and all hope of ending the dis
turbances would be remote. OF course
this line Of thought was based on the
premises that Huerta is so strongly in
trenched in the capital and the states
which he controls as to defy dislodge-
ment by all the revolutionists in the
country. The reports received in the
last few weeks indicate that the revo-
lutionists will not be able to make any
advance on the Mexican capital; that
with plenty Of arms and ammunition
they are numerically too weak to ac-
complish the overthrow of Huerta un-
less 1t is done with assistance of a
force in the capital, just as Madero's
overthrow was accomplished.
Third Proposal Possible.
In taking up the other proposition
the president had in mind much of the
argument he had before him for aban-
doning the proposal to lift the embar-
60 against the revoluionists-the In
terests Of the European governments
and the question Of the future of the
two factions In Mexico. His conclu'
sion was that both sides would have

Mobile Army of 10000.

The troops forming the Second divi-
sion, at Galveston and Texas City, un-
der the command of General William
II. Carter, have been for several
months impatiently awaiting orders eli
ther to cross the Rio Grande or to be
relieved from monotonouS and uncom-
Portable service. 1t is realized by the
military experts that this command
will not of itself suffice for any form
liable movement in Mexico, but ar
rangements have been made to in
crease the force by infantry, cavalry
and field artillery-comprlsing the mo
bile army-to an aggregate extent OF
81, 900 troops. Most of these are dis
tributed over the United States, but all
the details for their concentration at
ports on the Atlantic and west coasts,
whence they would sail on specially
chartered transports to the Mexican
point of debarkation, have been COM
pleted
The four transports which have been
at Galveston for some months are In
| possession of full compliments of men
and in readiness to sail with troops
and supplies at a moments notice
These four transports are regarded as
sufficient to transfer from Galveston
TO the Mexican ports all the troops as
rapidly as they can be brought to Gal
weston. with their supplies for de
| parture.
Thus every feature Of our military
arrangements have been worked out II

the smallest details, so that upon di-
rections from the president, the COM
mander in chief of the army and navy,
all of the available troops of the army
and navy will be ready to move.
Should it become necessary to en-
ploy the armed force of the United
States it is expected that the navy
would have less work of an urgent and
immediate character than either the
marine corps or the army. The ma
rine corps is in readiness as an expe-
dictionary force to be taken to any
point on the Mexican coast where it
might be considered advisable to land

tions and furnished with the means Of
shelter and support for an indefinite
period.

peace through mediation-a policy of
noninterference and the maintenance
of strict neutrality, tightening up
OF the frontier guard to prevent the
shipment of arms and ammunition to
either faction in Mexico.
p Only Three Alternatives.
When President Wilson sent Com
missioner Lind to Mexico with three
suggestions for settling the disturb
ances he had in reserve three alterna-
tives which he could adopt in the event
of failure. They were:
rst.--Intervention.
Second.-Raising the embargo against
the revolutionists obtaining arms and
ammunition in the United States.
Third.-A return TO the former policy
of noninterference, always entertain
ing the hope that one side would quick
ly win out in the struggle of arms
Like his predecessor, President VIII
son never did seriously consider the
first alternative. He held that 1t was
too drastic a remedy for the ailment.
After going over the reports of the
state department he found that so far
as the killing of Americans was con-
cerned there had not been a sufficient
disregard of the safety Of foreigners on
the part of either of the factions in
Mexico to justify intervention.
He found that with two or three ex-
ceptlons all the Americans killed in
Mexico had lost their lives through
some overt act on their part. A few,
less than half a dozen. had been acci-
dentally killed. The most the reports
showed was wholesale pillage Of
property and destruction of the same,
The remedy for this, the president de-
cided. was not Intervention, as under
international law all claims for dam
age can be collected without resort to
arms.
After viewing and reviewing all this
the president cast aside every thought
urging for Intervention.
Matter of the Embargo.
He next gave consideration to the
proposal of raising the embargo against
The revolutionists obtaining arms and
ammunition in the United States
What he found was this:
All the foreign governments having
property interests in Mexico have pro
visionally recognized Huerta. Germany
has given full recognition.
These countries were asked by thu
United States to lend their moral sup
port to the effort to induce Huerta Il
accept one OF the three D posals TO

as much consideration for American
lives and property as they have had
heretofore. They would have the same
respect as heretofore for the lives and
property Of other foreigners, so that
question was decided in favor of re-
turning to the noninterference policy
He then gave thought to the question
of the finances of both factions and
their ability TO carry on warfare for
an indefinite period. The reports be-
fore the president indicated that both
factions are hard pressed for funds aud
that the reason they are not obtaining
more arms is not because they cannot
transport them into Mexico, but be-
cause they have no money with which
to purchase them Another phase in
this feature was that without any
source of supply one side or perhaps
both would exhaust themselves fight
ing.
Again, that with resources down low
one side might make sufficient head
way to force the other to agree to quit
1t was believed that by following Il
policy Of noninterference beyond max
ing the customary demands that for.
eigners be protected we would retain
the moral support of foreign govern.

Neutrality Strictly Enforced.

In the meantime there will be no let
up in the maintenance of vigilance by
the American government The four
battleships at Vera Cruz will be re-
tained there. and the border patrol will
continue its duty. 1t is probable that
it will be strengthened, as will the
naval force on the Pacific coast Of
Mexico, for the purpose Of preventir,
the shipment of arms or other muni-
tions of war to either the rebels or fed

1t is believed that with these precau-
tions strictly enforced the troubles in
Mexico will speedily settle themselves.

ity of intervention is now regarded as
slight the United States shall not be

event that it becomes necessary.

PRICES OF GASOLINE

"Oh, I don't know" said the man, why I should kick about the price of gasoline this year. When I run my boat alongside the dock I fill the sixty gallon tank at Is cents a gallon and when my chauffeur drives my car onto the same dock he fills the forty gallon tank at 30 cents a gallon for the same gasoline. Thus my gas costs me only $21.60 for fill ing both tanks.
 Now if I had to buy gasoline the way my wife buys hers I might kick. The only places she can bury it are the drug stores When she wants q phial of it for taking out spots from clothing she has to pay 15 cents for two fluid ounces, apothecarg's meas ure. That is $96O a gallon To fill my tanks, one of sixty gallons and the other of forty gallons, at that rate would cost me $960."-West- minister Gazette.

POSTAL BUSINESS SHOWS
 GAIN NOT LOSS IN SEPT.
DuIIest Month Of year Shows Gain of 18 Per cent Over Same Month Of
 1912; Box Rents Pile up.

The predicted holding up' in postal business materialized during September according to a report of Postmaster McClintOck, made yesterday. In spite of the fact that immediately following the frenzied rush of business in August. September made an actual gain of IS per cent over the same month of 1912, showing that the increase during this year has been steady and sure.
 Usually September shows a great slump after the peak of August, and it came about that way this fall But the fact that the business of the box rent clerk has been changed from the first ten days in October to the last ten days in September made the receipts last month heavier by nearly a thous- and dollars. This is due to a new interpretation of the law which says rents must be paid in advance
 In the least active month of the year. the receipts at the Phoenix post office amounted to s7051 or nearly s1,100 more than last years September rec ord
