TROOPS ON WAY
TO VERA CRUZ
DECLARATION OF WAR WOULD
NOT Be UNEXPECTED.
Villa Insists He Is Friendly,
But Administration Leaders
Take No Chances.

Washington. April 23-United States
troops moved tonight to REINFORCE the
American navy at Vera Cruz: the EN-
barge on arms into Mexico formally
was restored and troops were ordered
to the Mexican border primarily to re-
lieve uueasiness among border resi-
dents. but also as pieoaution against
hostile military operations alol;g the
international line.
Secretary Garrison announced that
a trigade OF infantry and some artil
lery under Brigadier General Frederick
Funston had teen ordered to embark
on the four army transports at Calves
tor for Vera Cruz to support the ak
peditionary forces of marines and
blueiaokets there. The chance that
General Mas. the federal general.
might make a return attack on Vera
Cruz, with reinforoements and the
possible necessity of forward move
ment toward Mexico City TO protect
fleeing Americans and the Vera Cruz
railroad were the underlying reasons
for the military movement.
The restoration of tho em barge on
arms was oficislly announced after
the pronouncement of General Car
rama, the coustitutionalist chief, that
he regarded the seizure Of Vera Cruz
as violation of Mexican sovereignty
had been considered by thu admiuis-
tration. While Mexican constitutions
aiists here protested that Carranza's q
real attitude was friendly, the Amer
loan government decided to take nc
chances and abruptly stopped shipment
Of all arms iuto Mexico.
President Wilson earlier In the day
had issued a statement warning Gen
eral Carranza, the constitutionalist
chief, that the United States was
dealing now and would continue to
deal with those whom Huerta com
mands land those who come to his
support"
Both Nelson O'Shaug ghnessy, the
American charge d'afaires, and Seuor
Algara, the charge d'alfaires OF the
Mexican embassy, have Teen given
their passports. This ia not regarded
by the Washington government as pre-
saying war hut declaration of war
by Huerta would not be unexpected.

DELEGATE DOES NOT
 LIKE LEASING BILL

U Strong disapproval of the general provisions of the coal-leasing bill now before Congress was expressed yes. terday by Judge James Wlckersham, Territorial Delegate from Alaska, in addressing a meeting of the officers of the Arctic Club at an informal luncheon given in his honor. Judge Wickersham declared that the coal leasing bill, by it's present provisions, practically repealed the purposes of the sherman antitrust law. regarding a monoply of products.
 Encourages High Prices.
 Tho bill, he explained, allows the government to lease the coal fields in amounts not to exceed 2,56O acres for each lessee, the lessee paying the gov ernment cents per ton in royalties, The lessee would then add his operat- ing expenses and profits to this sum, and by common agreement between the lessees the price of coal could be kept up to whatever was desired. The principle of the bill was meant to as. sure cheap coal for Alaska, Judge Wickersham explained, yet there was nothing in the bill which made 1t com pulsory for the lessees to charge any other than high prices. The bill has already been passed by the House, and the speaker believed there was no way to prevent the Senate from passing 1t. Seattle Times,

Rheims Cathedral By Gerru de B, M,lloue

The destruction of the Cathedral O Rheims recalls many an incident il connection with the history of the ia nous structure, all of which intensif, the devastation of warfare.
 It was in this cathedral that Jeanne d Arc, beloved of the French. stood at the side of Charles on July 17 142s when he was annointed aud crowned king.
 History records many events that cluster around the marvelously beau tiful cathedral near the banks of the velse, where once stood the chief town of the Remi, who gave the city their name In 406 the city was sacked by the invading yandals, and in 496-was the scene of the coronation of King Clovis, that Franlish ruler who defeated the Roman Governor of Gaul in a battle near soissons, there turned against his German neighbors, thereby extending his domain from the Rhine to the Pyrenees.
 Later Capetain and Bourbon mon. archs chose Rheims as the place of their coronation and rulers from Phil. ip II to Charles x all received the signed of their office within the walls of the cathedral
 Many important church councils have been held at Rheims, the most notable of which were held in 119 and HAS respectively,
 One of the greatest of the worlds ecclessiastical buildings, the cathedral was rarely beautiful until it's destruc- ton day or two ago was registered in the black book of war. The west front has twin towers, q great cen traI rose and three magnificent can opied portals. These portals are GOV cred with 18th century statues and re- liefs of such excellence that many of them defy comparison with the best of classical work. The facade is re- puted es the best production of the middle ages,
 The lateral elevations and chevet are rich and very massive; the facade and portal of the north transept be- ing generally ranked the most admir- able. No other cathedral ranks higher in beauty of interior. when compared with the 466 feet in length of Rheims and it's 124 foot height of ceiling.
 The nave is flanked by single aisles, while the choir has double deam- bulatory upon which open radiating chapels. supurb thirteenth century glass is used extensively in the win dows.
 Originally there were seven lofty spires, but these fell victim to fire in 14SO. As the historic city of Rheims lies smouldering in i.shes today an- other of the worlds greatest works of architecture has settled into the ranks of oblivion and the future will find in its place, perchance. only a rude pile of stones to mark the site of cathed- ral Of wondrous beauty q cathedral whose walls were enriched by Tinto- retto, by Poussin, by Titan.
