MEXICAN S|TUA-
TON MUCH BETTER
PRESIDENT BELIEVES THAT AN
EFFORT TO BRING ON WAR
is BEING MADE.
OUTLINE PLANS FOR NH. LIND
IN MEXICO CITY.
No Cause for Alarm As Representa-
tive Will Merely Report cond-
tions AS He Finds Them and
Make Suggestions.

President Wilson let it be known
that he was inclined to believe there
was an organ zed desire-proceeding
from sources unknown TO him-to
bring on war between the United
States and Mexico.
The president does not regard the
movement as extensive, but as very
troublesome, and referred 10 misrep-
reservations in some individual news
papers. He indicated that he shared
somewhat the views of Senator Will
liams, who declared in a speech last
Saturday that an organized lobby ex-
listed to involve the United States
in war.
There is no occasion for alarm, in
the opinion of the president, who told
callers that the Mexican situation had
improved materially. 1t was made
clear by the president to those with
whom he discussed the situation that
the instructions to John Lind, his
personal representative, were chiefly
TO inform the American government
how things stood generally in Mexico,
and just what were the opportuni-
ties for the good Offices of the United
States in the interests of peace.
Sooner or later, it was pointed out.
Mr.. Lind will make certain sugges-
tons to the Huerta government
through the American embassy, but
in just what circumstances has not
yet been fully determined upon. Any
thing in the suggestions that may
properly be made public will be re-
vealed, according TO administration
officials here, and foreign govern
ments will be constantly apprised of
the various steps to be taken by the
United States

Figures compiled by Fred New

board of health covering a period
from 1903 to 1912, SHOWS that the av-

among the miners ranging in age from
10 to "a years; 142 among the men
ranging in age from "a to "a years..
SO deaths among the miners ranging
in age from 80 to As years. Appar-
