Washington Officials Say Situation
 Again Is Delicate.

Washington, Nov. 10.-Administra- tion officials admitted the Mexican situation has again assumed deli cate aspect.
 General Carranza partially has full filled the Washington Governments request for guarantees before with drawing the American troops from Vera. Cruz. but his decree does not satisfy the main point asked for by the United States-that MeXieans who served the American Government during the occupation of the port be not punished subsequently for such service
 Carranza has been informed by tele graph by special committee sen, by the convention several days ago. that hostilities against him as a rebel will begin at once if he does not recognize the authority of Gutierrez.
 General Gutierrez already has as sured agents of the United States Gov ernment that he will issue . proclama- ton covering all points desired by the American Government.
 General Villa has stated that he will back up Gutierrez in such a proc lsmation.

WILL BE MANY WAR HISTORIES
Luxuriant Crop Sure as the Outcome of the Present Great Conflict
 in Europe.

A Philadelphia newspaper friend of mine wrote a history of the Philippine war in fortnight. "Girard' writes in the Philadelphia Ledger. When marveled at the rapidity with which he turned out such serious literature. he replied
 This book is made to sell, not to read
 The crop of European war histories is certain to be the banner crop of 1913. Our corn. wheat and cotton crops will be eclipsed in magnitude by the outpourings from the printing press.
 Popular war stories were a fad in the United States at the close of the Civil war, and some made their ap- pearance even before Appomattox. Now with half the world at war. and with such weird assortment of con tending issues. there is opportunity for an army of historians almost equal to that hard-punehing right flank of the Germans.
 Great historians usually prefer plenty of time to give the needed per spectiye, although one of the most in teresting books on the American Rev olution was published in l7S9 by Doc tor Ramsey. son-in-law of President John Witherspoon of Princeton. Chief interest, however. even in his book, is the exceptionally clear insight he gives to the motives of Americans of that city. He was s physician. a congressman and a scholar and his opinions of his fellow countrymen are kesnly drawn.

DEVICE KILLS A PROFESSOR
MeGll University Man Is Found in Dying Condition After En-
 periments on Heart.

Montreal. Nov. SC. R. Mines a Professor of Physiology at McGill Uni verslty, met strange death in his laboratory at the university.
 Prof. Mines had been in the labora- tory all the afternoon working on his experiments. He was found uncon- scious by the janitor shortly after o'clock. The broken mechanism was still attached over the professors heart. Aid was summoned and Prof. Mines was conveyed to the Royal Vic toria Hospital, but he died before mid night without recovering conscious ness.
 Principal William Peterson believes Prof Mines, in the course of experi- ments upon himself dealing chiefly with the phenomena of the heart ac- tion and respiration, probably lost his nfe through the apparatus, which was attached to his body, getting out of order
 Prof Mines. who was 29 years of age. left 8 widow and two children. He was a Cambridge University man. and recently came to Montreal from To- ronto University.
