party appears to be in actual possession
of more country and to have more num-
erous armies in the field than did Madero
when he received notice Of the over
throw of Porfirios .Iiaz as President of
Mexico. Consequently there is general
belief here that crisis has almost been
reached.

Doubt Queen s Action.

Diplomatic officials here had no advices
to support published reports that queen
Wilhelmina, speaking for The Hague tri-
bunal, had addressed a peace proposal to
Huerta. State Department officials were
confident that the United States would be
notified before any such proposal was
made.

Mexican Events Show
Gen. Huerta's Regime Is
Failing, Day by Day

The flight Of Gen. Huerta's generals
in northern Mexico. federal evacuation
of the cities Of chihuahua and Guaynas
and the refusal Of Mexican oil COM
panies to furnish fuel for the move
ment Of federal troop trains were
pointed out by officials here today as
among the events to which President
Wilson referred in his message to Con-
sress yesterday when he declared the
Huerta regime was crumbling "by a
little every day"
Regarding discussion OF whether the
constitutionalists. if successful in their
fight against Huerta. will allow the
United States to reorganiZe the Mexican
government. men in close touch with the
revolutionary movement said that such a
course will be entirely unnecessary. While
these men expect the constitutionalist
government. when established. to be en-
tirely friendly to the United States, they
do not believe that the administration
here wants to mix in Mexicos internal
affairs after peace is restored.

Diplomat tically there have been 10 de-
velopments. President Wilson's state
ment that this government would not, in
his opinion, be obliged to alter it's policy
of "watchful waiting was regarded as
forecasting a period of passive observa-
ton. with every eye of the government
exercising, at the same time, a close scru-
tiny on the safeguarding of foreigners
and their property.

In President Wilson's expression of hope
fulness that when Huerta has been forced
from power constitutional order would be
restored by the concert and energy of
such of MeNicos leaders as prefer the
liberty of their people to their own ambi-

quiries in the foreign press as to whether
chaos and anorchy would result if Huerta
retired.

It was a little event that opened
Lucy's eyes, though it might have

On the following morning Lucy, en-

in loud alteration, then an oath

She ran into her employers room.
The fellow whose charge had failed

his right hand he was striving to de-

he was no match for him in

Some of his very bitterest enemies
