REVIEW OF FIRST WEEK
 OF MEXICAN POSSIBILITIES

Washington The first week of hos utilities in Mexico resulted in some startling developments, the culmina- tiol of a series of events that threat- ened actual warfare
 Huerta's defiance of the United States demand for a salute to the flag as an apology for the arrest of blue jackets at Tampico, and the approach of German vessel bearing 200 can non and 15,000,000 rounds of ammuni ton, consigned to Huerta, decided President Wilson upon drastic meas. ures. Two American fleets were or dered to Mexico, and orders were giv- en to seize the customs house at Vera Cruz and intercept the ordnance stores.
 First HostiIities at Vera Cruz.
 The attack on Vera Cruz was made Tuesday, the customs house was seized and later the entire city. Gen. Maas, the Mexican general, fled from the city. with many of his troops, but those who remained continued a desul- tory fighting with American marines as late as Friday.
 IT, the fierce fighting in Vera Cruz r Americans were killed and 45 wounded, and 12O Mexicans were kill. cd and 195 were injured. By Satur- day quiet had been restored and civil authority was being resumed.
 Passports Given Ministers.
 Nelson 'Shaughnesy, the American charge at Mexico City, was given his passports Thursday and reached Vera Cruz with his staff and several hun dred American refugees Friday night Charge Algara, of Mexico, left Wash ington for Toronto, Canada, after re- ceiving his passports from Secretary Pryan.
 Reports from the City of Mexico were that the anti-American sentiment was running high, American citizens were in imminent danger. mobs O. Mexicans were shouting Death to the Gringoes," the Stars and Stripes were trampled upon in the streets, and Washington's monument was torn down by mob led by Huerta's son. Another report was that three Ameri. cans were taken from street cars in Mexico City and slaughtered.
 Gen. CarranZa early in the week wrote Secretary Bryan protesting against American occupation of Mexi, co as an insult to the Mexican nation. This gave rise to rumors that Consti tutionalists and Huertaistas were forming coalation against AmerI. cans, but this was denied by Villa and other leaders, who protested friend. ship for the United States. The em. bargo on arms being shipped across the border, however. was re-establish. ed and the border patrol greatly strengthened.

ANTI-HUERTA SENTIMENT
Demonstration Against Dictator in the
 Streets of the City of Mexico.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Vera Cruz.-A big parade of resi- dents of the City of Mexico to show disapproval of Huerta's attitude to ward Americans and to show the friendli ness of the paraders toward citizens of the United States was held in the City of Mexico Saturday, according to refugees from the Mexican capital.
 The fact that Huerta did not pre- vent the paraders is taken as an in dication of his weakness.
 The refugees said that rebel syn: pathizers in the capital organizea tn, parade to counteract the anti-Ameri can sentiment, which they belies ed Huerta was deliberately fostering.

 bassador called on Secretary Bryan to report the results of the interview in the Mexican capital between Sir Lionel Garden, British minister, and impressed upon Huerta the opinion of his own government that Huerta should accept promptly the good off ces of the three South American re- publics.
 Ministers Naon and Suarez of Ar gentina and Chile talked with MT. Bry- an. Ambassador de Cana of Brazil had seen the secretary earlier. These conferences were informal and were chiefly to obtain the views of the American government.
 The three peacemakers are proceed ing slowly and carefully gathering all the information possible so that they may consider every element in the controversy They are careful to make a distinction between their present exercise of good offices and what may come later if the good offices advance to the stage of mediation. They say that their work is one of far-reaching effect, not only in the present contro- versy. but as affecting the continued peace of the Western hemisphere, through the united efforts of American nations, North South and Central.
 The Argentine legation where the sessions are being held is in the fash ionable residence section of the capi- tai

 Representatives of Pan-American na- tions Saturday night made their first attempt to solve the Mexican crisis by peaceful negotiation.

candor to say that it's diplomatic rala tions with Mexico being for the pres ent severed, 1t is not possible to ma'>e sure of an uninterrupted opportunrv to carry out the plan of intermediat.on which you propose. It is, of course, possible, that some act of aggre ssion on the part of those who control the military forces of Mexico might ob- lige the United States to act to the upsetting of the hopes of immediate peace, but this does not justify us ,n hesitating to accept your generous suggestion. We shall hope for the best results in brief time, enough to relieve our anxiety lest most ill-con- sidered hostile demonstrations shorld interrupt negotiations and disappont our hopes of peace"
 Gen. Huerta's Acceptance
 Spanish Ambassador Riano aanou-c- ed late Sunday that he had received private advices from Mexico City stat ing that General Huerta had accept ed the offer of Argentine. Brazil and Chile to use their good offices to bring about an amicable settlement of the difficulty between the Unitei States and Mexico.
 Hope for peace-yet no stacking n preparations for war-is the spirit of latest developments in the Mexican crisis. President Wilson, hopeful though not confident that war may be averted through the efforts of'Argen- tina, Brazil and Chile, conferred with Secretary Garrison, approving orders for the joint jurisdiction of the army and navy over Vera Cruz and vicinity.

 Washington Mexican crisis now is centered on the issue between those who seek, through the good off ces and intermediation of La a.in-Ameri- ca, to find some middle ground for peaceful settlement, and those who consider war an inevitable result of what occurred
 Two distinct branches of activity of Argentina, Brazil and Chile in form ulating a plan of adjustment to be submitted to the United States and D Huerta and that of the military and naval forces of the United States which continue. to prepare for any thing that may happen. The arrival of General Funston and a brigade of 5,300 troops at Vera Cruz are among the most important military deyeloO- ments.
 Chief interest was centered about the sessions ef the South American envoys Tuesday. Seated about a long mahogany table, the three envoys deliberated much as an international court would weigh a case of supreme importance.
 Spirit of Optimism Prevails.
 At the Wkse House, President Will son and his o.lbinet advisors held lengthy meeting. It was devoted chief ly to tke Colorado situation, though the Mexican crisis was considered. The cabinet officers, however, feel that the Mexican situation now is before the South American diplomats and care was taken not to embarrass the .anvoys by announcement of conditions upon which the United States will in efst A spirit of optimism over the progress of the negotiations was ap- parent.
 Probably three or four days or even a longer time may elapse before the mediators are ready to take their next step.
 Secretary Bryan received calls from ambassadors and ministers of Europe, as well as South American countries. Among the visitors was the French ambassador, Jesserand, who expressed the warm sympathy of his country in case of mediation. No European pow CT has taken any official action. though the European diplomats are doing their utmost to further the cause of peace. Sir Cecil Spring-Rlce, the British am

These figures show that it is wholly UNI
necessary to summer fallow, and that
by using the proper crop rotation and
by adding little manure to the poorer
spots the productivity of the soil can be
maintained or even increased.
The cattle that are to be marketed
can be put on feed at most any time
when harvest is finished. Most farm
ers prefer to wait until after the fall
seeding is over before the animals are
put into the feed lot This is a very
good practice as they can receive
proper. care and attention from the be-
ginning of the feeding period.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1914-07-03

keeping the animal during the feeding
period would be $1,000. BY this time
the animal should weigh 1000 pounds.
The calf should be raised to the age of
sixteen months, if proper care and man
agement is taken, at cost not exceed
ing twelve or fifteen dollars. This
amount, plus the cost of feeding during
the fattening period, equals approx
mately $50, or the cost of feed for
