guns, and announces that he will do
so before 6 o'clock tomorrow even
ing, Sunday, this country through its
armed forces vii compel hi INTO do so.
This was the final ultimatum of
President Wilson today, and followed
an exchange of notes between the
Mexican dictator and the U. S. state
department.
Huerta, through Charge O'Sheugh-
messy, continued to demand stimuli
taneous salute. 1t was refused.
Huerta continued to bubble, and the
president Immediately decided to en-
ploy force if necessary to make the
Mexicans comply with his demands.
The president announced that if
Huerta did not come to time tomor-
row evening he will take the matter
to congress in person Monday.
Inasmuch as the president is on
record as saying that he will ask con-
gress for authorization to use the
army and navy against Huerta, the
statement that he is prepared to go
to congress means at least an armed
blockade of Mexican ports, which, it
is agreed, would be tantamount to a
declaration of war.

In Regensburg, in the middle ages,
tho headsman died and three appli-
cants presented themselves for the
post. A test of their skill would set
tie the matter. Accordingly three
criminals were brought forth for
slaughter.
The first headsman made with his
sword q tiny nick In the first criminals
neck. "I'li lop him Oh just there"
he said. and, swinging his sword round
with great swishing sound. 10! he did
AZ be had said he would.
The second headsman tied a string
round his criminals neck. I'm cut
Oh his head and bisect the string" he
said. And he did az he mad promised.
These two first headsmen now began
to study and ponder the neck Of the
third criminal. asking what proof Of
skill the third headsman should under.
take. when the latter with one vast
and splendid sword sweep cut Oh all
three heads, thus finishing the crimi-
nal and his rivals together and win
ming the headsmanship Of Regensburg
