MEXICANS MUST
WORK OUT THEIR
OWN SALVATION
(By John e. Nevin.)
United Press Staff Correspondent.

Washington, Nov. 14:-Positiye
that the Mexican people can work out
| their own destiny the administration
was today rushing preparations to
eliminate all traces of American dom
ination in the southern republic. De-
spite wild rumors Of impending an
archy, the responsible heads of the
United States believe the entire Mexi-
can situation is materially imprved.
1t is considered certain that some
sort of compromise agreement Will
yet be reached by opposing leaders in
the nation in the south and even
though the worst comes 1T Is declaI ed
certain that one or at the most two
general battles will decide which of
the factions now essaying power will
control pending the restoration of
real constitutional government.
1t is because of the realization of
the presence of troops in Mexico Is an
ever-present source of irritation
that the American regulars have been
ordered to leave Vera Cruz by No
VENT Der 23. Both factions have pro-
tested to confidential representatives
of the state department that keeping
the troops there and many wild, ir-
responsible rumors, printed in the
United States and sent back to
Mexico as actual facts, have compli-
lieves that this is the exact truth,
Secretary Bryan has asked that the
troops be brought home.
Just who is to receive the more
than $1,000,000 collected in customs
receipts at the port of Vera Cruz Will
not be decided for the present. Late
yesterday Secretary Bryan received
guarantees of recognition of foreign
rights and of protection of Ameri-
cans and other nationalities from the
representatives of the Aguascalienties
convention. Similar assurances have
been received from Carranza.
Word that serious fighting be-
tween both factions is in progress
may come at any time. There have
been some preliminary skfrmishes,
but they have been unimportant. The
state department expects fighting for
q time and believes It Will have the
effect of clarifying the situation. The
war department was today making
arrangements for the withdrawal of
the troops. General Funston has
five transports waiting to be loaded
and 1t is not expected that so much
time will be lost In getting his troops
back to the United States. For the
present it is understood the Ameri-
can troops concentrated at the bor-
der will remain where they are, al
though later on they are to be dis
tributed to vacant army posts
throughout the country.

Detroit, Nov. 14;-With the lakes
swept by storm that all but equaled
in severity the disastrous gale of q
year ago when thirteen big lake
steamers were sent to the bottom
and 235 sailors drowned, fear was
felt today for the safety of a score
of vessels known to be fighting
against the high seas on the upper
lakes. Battered and broken, many
ships went to cover today after a
night of terror. Crews of these YES
sells reported that at times the wind
swept lakes Huron and Superior at
velocity of seventy-five miles an
hour, driving all before it. The
steamer Colonial, of the Reid Wreck
ing Company, of Sarania, Ont, was
believed to be in danger of breaking
up today at Pardon, Lake Erie,
where she was beached yesterday
after an uneQualled battle with the
waves.
The crew and one woman passen-
ger were forced to take to the life
boats. After bitter struggle they
reached shore in safety.
In Lake st. Clair and the Detroit
river four steamers were driven
ashore, but none of them was be-
lieved to be in a dangerous position
today. Alpena reported the arrival
of the barge Ashland, In tow of the
steamer e. Edward Hines. The Ash
lands deck load of white pine lum-
Der, valued at SIS, 900, has been
swept away and the Hines was badly
battered. Captain Mckenzie, of the
Hines. declared the storm was the
worst In his experience of a quarter
of a century on the great lakes.
The steamers Oscoda and Commo-
dore. wrecked on the reef Of Naubin-
way Bay in Upper Lake Michigan, are
reported to be total losses. The
crews were taken off by life savers
from Manistique.
Sixty Mile Gale Here. q.
With a sixty mile gale sweeping
I'D the coast from the south ship
ping in this section was greatly ham
pered Yesterday. During the early
part of the day many sailing vessels
we're seen coming up the bay to find
a safe harbor in the sound off this
city. Several times one or two of
three and four masted schooners
coming up Prince Bay were almost
blown ashore.
Barges of all descriptions ready
for sailing with cargo of coal were
brought to anchor and did not move
until this morning after the wind
had abated The big ferryboat Tot
tenville was brought from Clifton,
Staten Island, to relieve the Perth
Amboy for the expected rush of au-
tomobiles going to the football game
at Princeton today, was unable to
make a landing at the docks of the
Perth Amboy dry docks shortly af-
ter 8 O'Clock because of the heavy
gale. The craft had to be assisted
by the tug Arthur XIII of the Ar
thur XIII Towing Company in get
ting into its berth at the dry docks.
the ferryboat had to be towed by
the tug boat and at one time came
near ramming a schooner lying in
the sound.
The wind played havoc in all sec
tions and | many surrounding towns
here and on Staten Island where
brush fires started up property and
buildings were in danger OF being
destroyed Famed by the gale the
flames spread like wildfire and were
only checked by hard work of the
firemen and others battling for
hours to subdue
