PRESIDENT STATES
HIS PEACE PLANS
Government in Mexico That Can
Meet Its Obligations.
HUERTA READY TO GET OUT
Their Plans Contemplate Elimination
Of Dictator's Party AIso-Wil-
son Would Treat All
Factions Fairly.

Washington, d. C.-President VIII.
that the United States Government re-
CARDS the settlement of the Mexican
problem in a definite form as a pre-
requisite to the withdrawal of the
American forces from Vera Cruz.
The President gave the American
Observation-Disclosures Lamar, of the
Supreme Court of the United States;
Frederick W. Lehman, former Solici-
tor-General, and H. Perceval Dodge,
the secretary-no specific instructions.
He told them to place themselves in a
receptive mood and await proposals
from the three South American media
tors.
But at the same time he outlined to
his representatives that peace in Mex
lea seemed to him to be conditioned on
the elimination of the Huerta ad-
ministration and the establishment in
its place of strong provisional gov
eminent, which would conduct an cleo
ton, giving fair treatment to all fac
tons and parties and guaranteeing,
moreover, solution of the agrarian
problem and other internal difficulties
which have bred revolution in the
Southern republic during the last three
years.
The President wishes the Mexican
question settled on comprehensive
lines that will take into account the
economic principles for which Zapata.
in the South as well as Carranza, in
the North, have been fighting, and will
at the same time conserve the right
full interests of the people in the ter
ritory now controlled by the Huerta
Government.
Huerta Ready To Go.
In the course of the day a dispatch
came to one of the foreign diplomats
leo regarded as thoroughly competent
stating that General Huerta was ready
to resign, and would permit his repre-
septatives at the mediation to elimi-
nate him if it should become absolutely
necessary.
This dispatch confirmed intimations
that have come from the three Huerta
delegates since their visit to this coun-
try showed that they had realized
Huerta's elimination was regarded as
essential to settlement and knew
from the phase of the problem their
efforts would be fruitless. The Huerta
delegates, too, it is learned from per-
sons who have talked with them, I'M
derstood thoroughly that the scope OF
the mediation has been broadened be-
yond the difference which arose out of
the arrest at Tampico of American
bluejackets and now comprises the
entire Mexican problem

very magic and mysterious properties

of moral and a social sort. 1t is,

Him His Life.

Ryan, who as representative of the
American Red Cross and of the State
Department, was arrested in Mexico
and held for some time as a spy by
the Huerta forces, called upon Secre-
tary of State Bryan Monday DR..
Ryan declared that he was unable to
make any statement as to his Mexican
experiences He said he hoped to re-
turn to Mexico later and he feared If

his life.

EASY WAY TO GOOD HEALTH
of Lung Trouble, Says Medical
Body.

New York.-The first essential In
the avoidance of tuberculosis of the
lungs, or consumption, is to keep the
lungs strong, SO that If the germs are
breathed they can do no harm, &C
cording to bulletin Of the American
Medical association.
One of the most important things
in keeping the lungs strong Is to keer
the chest wide open, so that the lungs
can be properly used. If the body is
dropped or stoops, or IL the shoulders
are allowed to drag forward Ground
shoulder), or if the head is carried
forward instead of well back over the
shoulders, the chest must be flattened,
the breathing must be shallow, and
the lungs. not being freely used, be-
come weak.
1t is in this type of chest that tuber-
culosis usually begins. The consump-
tive is usually narrow chested, with
dropped shoulders and with the head
craned forward. While the develop
ment of strong. well formed chest is
one of the most important factors In
preventing tuberculosis. the same
thing is to be desired If the disease
has once. started. Not only should we
live in the open, but we should stand
up straight and learn to throw a big
chest" so that the lungs can grow
strong and the fresh air be taken in.
The runner, the singer. or any one
who is obliged to make sustained ef
fort is taught to stand and sit with
the chest high, SO that the lungs can
be used to the best advantage. and If
every one would do the same thing
there would be less tuberculosis. be-
cause there would be fewer weak
lungs.

came back instantly to memory, dis

nected the two together. She had told
me her father was French officer

thought so; had been deceived into
this belief. Yet was convinced now
that this was the man; that he had
been living up to few hours before,

blow. Her father! The knowledge

Safe at Harmar? or in the dark woods
with Girty? Did she know about this
hidden cabin? This island rendez-
vous? Surely this could be no mere
coincident of name and history, yet
what was the mystery that enveloped
both? Why was this Captain D'Auv-
ray hiding here, and why did she deny
that he was still living? The more
thought, the more tangled grew the
skein. Brady called me, and l stepped
back into the other room, still dazed
grasping the medal in my hand.
