foreign affairs on special mission
here, the reason for the abandon
ment by the Wilson administration
OF the socalled dollar diplomacy"
policy. DR.. Muller had called at the
home ot Mr.. Bryan to pay his fare
well respects.
There is no lack of desire to en-
courage increases of commercial re-
lations between the United States
and Brazil and other nations, Mr..
Bryan told his visitor
This is TO be done, however, he
said, without having the govern
ment back enterprises of American
capital in foreign countries The
administration, he added, desires to
see American business secured
abroad thdough the establishment of
friendly relations with these coun-
tries and their people and by the use
Of absolutely honorable commercial
methods. DR.. Muller agreed that
this was the wisest policy and he
asserted that ne would do what he

cases they discover. DR.. Muller
promised to do this.
Tonight shortly before the Brazil

President Wilson's friendly recep-

Heavy.

hundred federals were killed or
wounded in a battle May 20 at Sal
tillo, according to reports reaching
here todoy from southern Chihau-
hua State.
After this victory over more than
1000 federals, the insurgents under
Gen. Villa, Gen. Caho and Gen. Her
nandez marched north toward the
the State capital, whence the Par
raj garrison had retreated. They are
reported as having taken Cusishui-
rachi, mining town west of Chihua-
hua city.
The 400 federals who Friday evac-
uated MADEIRA, were met yesterday
by Villas men at Bustillo. The reb-
els poured a hot fire into the federal
troop train, killing the engineer and
fireman. The train retired.
Gen. Mercado, acting military
governor, has called in all other
outlying garrison to the defense of
the capital.
Some 500 federals at Guaral are
unaffected by the order.
JuateZ is threatened by the move
ment of constitutionalists Pract-
ically every railroad in the State is
out of commission as a result of re-
bel activities. The only armed forces
of consequence in the Casas Grandes
district is led by Col. Castillo, a
mutineer from the federal ranks.
He has declared for the Vasquez
Gomez revolution, which is not con-
nected with the constitutionalist
movement.

shadows any community not guarded
by proper sewerage.

shadows any community not guarded
by proper sewerage
The matter of taxation is the
lowest plane upon which the discus
sion could be placed. The question
is not can we have these improve
ments at low rate of taxation. hut
can we do without them at any
cost? 80
The prime consideration is that
tne health or the community is at
when this community will pay n
fearful toll in the sickness and
death of many citizens if we longer
neglect the duty to provide adequate
sewerage. When through this un-
pardonable neglect typhoid fever
malaria, and other diseases aflict
our people, the rich are able to go
abroad to hospitals, sanitoriums and
health resorts, but the poor in their
helplessness must take the calamity
which our neglect and parsimony
have put upon them.
Have we no town pride? Do we
not want progressive town? Do
we not wish to attract people to
Lancaster as good town for a
nome? We have a most excellent
waterworks system, furnishing our
citizens with the purest water. We
nave as fine an electric light system
as exists anywhere. We have ex-
cellent school facilities. We are in
the center of fine farming popula-
tion, which makes this a good place
Tor business, but we break down in
the vital particulars Of sewerage and
street improvements. Let's all get
together and pull together to Wind
d1cate our motto that Lancaster
Leads"
There is another important con-
sideration which should not be over
looked. We owe it to our country
friends who trade here and by their
patronage help to build up the
town, to install adequate sewerage
so that we may provide rest rooms
with proper toilet facilities, especi-
ally for the women and children.
We need not elaborate here, because
IL is patent to everyone that great
inconvenience and annoyance must
be experienced along this line. How
can any friend of our country Gus
toners oppose a movement SO bene-
ficial to them?
In this contest / have no axe to
grind and am looking for no job
My interest is aroused because 1
consider that the welfare and pro-
gress of my town is involved. 1 seek
no leadership and would gladly sur
render the position / hold on the
waterworks board and sewerage
commission, If can thereby in the
least promote these great enter
prises and contribute to the har-
money so essential to community
progress.

necessity of securing peace and of assuring the future welfare of the na- tion, have determined to enforce vigorously and in accordance with the proclamation which was duly is sued on May A, 1913, the law Of Juarez of January 25, 1862, which de- fines and punishes delinquencies in imical to the public peace.
 With strict deference to the law provided, the Huertista officers were tried and executed in the city of Ju- arez. Among them were some who had been captured at TorreO1l by this same General Villa. who after par doning them, agreed that they should be enlisted by our forces. Thereaf- ter they endeavored, but unsuccessful ly, to create a defection of the men whom I entrusted to their command, finally deserting to re-engage in crime.
 Tt is true that the established principles observed in international wars extend to prisoners the privilege lof pardon or immunity from bodily harm. but in civil struggles the most civilized nations in all ages have ern- ployed more rigorous and bloody means even than we have been com peIIed to adopt. And with reference to the execution of the officers in the l city of Juarez, there should be per- ceived not any needless cruelty visit ed. upon prisoners of war, but merely such punishment as was prescribed by the law applicable to offenders against the public peace and safety
 ''The Mexican people in the begin ming of this civil struggle, initiate l | by Francisco I. Madero, exhausted all i their power of clenency and forgive | ness, but experienced as the only re- l suit of their lnagnamity, tyranny in their ountry's interior and the loss 1 of prestige outside of it's borders.

 Juarez were far from being invested
 with the Importance which our enc
 mics, in their intemperate frame of 1 mind, desired to give them.
 t.In conclusion, it is my desire to l assure you that the same humane sen 1 timents which you possess also ami
 mate me, and that even though I. find
 it necessary in difference to the ex- isting national feeling, justice to pub lie confidence and the necessity of re- l storing peace to my country, to be somewhat strict in the enforcement of the law of Juarez, I have provided d at the same time that this law shall be applied only when the limitations are fixed by the most pressing needs
