NO IMMEDIATE
INTERVENTION
sLAYlNe OF MADERo NOT ITSELF
AN ACT DEMANDING lNvA-
SION OF MEXICO.
MUST AWAIT OVERT ACT
Situation Gravest Yet Developed and
War and Navy Departments
Plans Are Being Rushed
Forward.

Washington, D. C.-The one danger
to be apprehended in the Mexican sit
nation, which might certainly result
in the launching of an army of inva-
sion, would be the commission of some
acts in Mexico that would endanger
the lives of foreign citizens and Amer
leans.
Having assured the diplomatic rep
resentatives in Washington of the dis
position and ability of this govern
ment to protect their nationals in
Mexico in thessame degree as Ameri-
cans, the government has assumed an
obligation that cannot be ignored.
Therefore, any attack upon foreign
ers by the tacit consent of the Huerta
government, or even the exhibition to-
ward them of mob violence clearly be-
yond the ability of the provisional
government to prevent, probably
would be the signal for active inter-
vention.
Situation Now Most Tense.
The killing of Francisco 1. Madero
and Pine SuareZ after Gen. Huerta
had assured American Ambassador
Wilson of the safety of his prisoners
from just such attacks, created a
painful impression in administration
circles here.
When the first feeling of surprise
had passed, it was realized by officials
that this last tragic event had added
greatly to the gravity of the situation
and undoubtedly had placed an addi-
tional strain upon the already tense
relations between this government
and that in the Mexican capital.
Still, as President Taft himself de-
clared, the event in itself was not suf-
ficient to demand any departure from
the policy of strict nonintervention,
which so far has governed his admin
istration.
Probably the immediate result will
be to hasten the military and naval
preparations in order to have the SOL
diers, sailors and marines ready to an
swer a call for instant embarkation
if further developments in Mexico
should demand their employment.
The administration officials feel
that they have discharged their full
duties and exhausted their constitu-
tional powers in the orders they have
given or planned for the preparation Of
a sufficient military and naval force
to insure a successful entry to the
Mexican capital in case of need.
1t is practically cert3in that beyond
this point the executive would not
proceed except upon direct instruc-
lions from congress, as the exhibition
Of military force beyond the seacoast
towns of Mexico might be regarded IS
an act of war, which, under the con-
stitution, can be directed only by con-
gress.

Men who play the willy game Of poll.

make a loud.mouthed sensational at.
tack upon someone else. AS the cut
tle.fsh eludes Its pursuer by clouding

venturer takes advantage of the igno-
rance and prejudices OF the people to
escape from his indefensible position
by muddying the waters of public
opinion.
A case in point is the recent attack
made upon the religious press for
carrying Coca-Cola advertising. This
attack was made by politician who
was supposed to be an expert In chem.
istry but who, having brought =. suit

humiliated by having to acknowledge
that he could not qualify as an expert.
The court decided in favor Of the Coca.

that the only essential difference be.

that the former contains only about
half as much caffeine as the latter and

Ground that has been farmed long
enough SO that the grass roots are

the soil is not protected in some way.
Such land should be disked as early
in the spring as possible. This will
leave the surface little rough, so
that the fine soil grains will be pro
tected from the wind.
This cultivation may be done with
corn cultivator with shovels. If no
disk harrow is available. BY thus
stirring the surface of the soil soil
mulch will be formed which will pre-
vent evaporation of moisture from be-
low, and the surface will be in proper
condition for taking in the rain that
falls. This stirring will keep the soil
in good condition for plowing much
longer than 1t would be kept If the
ground were left unstirred.
This cultivation will bury many
weed seeds which will soon germi-
nate. AS soon as the weeds begin to
come up the drag harrow should be
used. Having loose soil in which
to work, the harrow will destroy ths
weed seedlings very rapidly. The
harrow may destroy a second crop ot
