Arms for Rebels

Annapolis, Nd, June 5.--An inn
portant message from the mediators
to the president was delivered aboard
the yacht Mayhower today while the
president was en- route to attend the
graduation exercises at the naval
academy. 1t is believed to be a pro-
test against the inaction of the au-
thorities in permitting the steamship
Anti'la to leave New York for Tam
pico with arms for the rebels.
One surmise was that the commu-
nication contained a request from the
mediators that the Antilla be stopped
/en route. Presidential Secretary Tu-
multy refused to discuss the matter.
All that is known positively is that
tors and Tumulty apparently regard
ed it of sufficient Importance to hand
to the president at breakfast. The
president Naval Aide Commander
Needham Jones, Secretary Daniels
and DR.. Grayson landed at 10 this
morning, warships firing a presiden-
tial salute of twenty-one guns. A
class of 154 will be graduated. Many
are scheduled to go into immediate
service in Mexican waters.
Five thousand heard the president
address the graduates of the naval
academy, declaring: "It is far finer
to serve humanity than to fight at
the drop of the hat or upon some
trifling punctillio."
Referring to the Mexican situation,
the president predicted the occupation
of Vera Cruz would "leave different
taste in the mouths of people who
have hitherto feared and despised
Americans" He continued: 81 have
have Lad to use some force. / pray
to God it will be unnecessary to use
more. The new things of the world
are divorced from force"
"It ought always to be one of your
thoughts" the president told the
graduates, chat you are sample of
Americans, not merely naval officers
and that the American point of view
regarding the army and navy is that
the country is using them as instru-
ments for civilization, not aggression.
Americas idea is to serve humanity,
and every time you let the Stars and
Stripes free to the wind you ought
to realize that this in itself is mes
sage that you are on an errand other
navies sometimes have forgotten, the
errand of service, not conquest"
The president paid warm tribute
to Admiral Fletcher, eulogizing him
as "a man with touch of statesman
ship who has grown bigger with me
daily"
The president was scheduled to
start for Washington at this after
noon, but he might stop at Hampton
Roads, it was stated

There is good reason to believe that

most certain of passage, since the
members of congress are Disguised

Senator Norris believes that the SEN
timent in the senate will favor the
passage of the bill, and there is no
question that if the bill comes to Pres.
ident Wilson from congress he Will
sign it. Municipality owned street cars

MINERAL WATERS.

The intelligent individual eager to
avail himself of the best aids that mod
/ ern medical science affords cannot help
being baffied by the conflicting claims
/ made regarding mineral waters. He
sees numerous cases in which relief
has unquestionably been obtained by
patients who have visited one OF the
many springs in this country or Eur
ope: but when he considers the posi-
bilities-including rest. change of diet
and environment-the result is hope
less confusion OF ridiculous claims.
The added question arises OF the rela-
tive value OF the different uses of the
same waters. At some OF the widely
known spas-for example. Saratoga
the internal use Of yaters takes prece-
dence: at Mount Clemens. White Sui
phur springs and others the baths are
chiefly relied on: at Hot Springs and
French Lick the combined method pre-
walls. In view of the diversity of prac-
tice and the impossibility OF measur-
ing the consequences in any precise
way. the Journal OF the American Med
zeal Association agrees with DR.. Guy
Hinsdale. secretary OF the American
Genealogical association. in scouting
the claims OF the specific virtues OF
particular mineral ingredients I'm the
waters. except in such obvious feat I
ures as laxative action or the absorb 4
ton OF dissolved iron salts If We as I
sumo. writes Hinsdsle. that approx I
mately equal results are achieved by 1
"a course OF bathing in waters so dis
similar. We cannot avoid the inference I
that the chemical constituents OF these /
different springs are not per Sc the ac-
tive therapeutic agents. That certain /
baths may be used with good results
iu a case Of govt. ought TO suggest
that the hydrotherapeutic methods en-
ployed are more potent than the fact
that the waters employed have a spe-
cial chemical composition.
II the cultivation of the rational use
Of mineral waters involves an accurate
knowledge OF their contents. informa-
ton regarding them must have some
guarantee of accuracy. For the past
% years Il has not been possible in
France TO advertise any mineral water
as such, or 20 exploit a mineral water
station, without the favorable recon-
mendation OF commission under
whose direction the analyses are made.
n such rules were in force in the
L nited States. fake "lithia" waters
would long ago have been driven out

The Anglo-American Peace Centenary

Great Britain and the United States
are preparing to celebrate this year
the conclusion of century OF peace
between the two great Anglo-SaXon
nations. The celebration will take the
form of a great Anglo-American ex-
position TO be held in London
The Shepherds Bush section of $50
acres has been laid out in a park-like
city. comprising many very imposing
buildings In these will be exhibited
the achievements of the epoch of peace
showing the progress making in edu-
cation. science. literature, inventions.
productions. and in the betterment of
the conditions of working men and
women.
In America a general committee has
been formed to make the arrange
ments for the exposition. The vice
presidents are President Nicholas Muir
ray Butler of Columbia university.
Joseph II. Choate. President Lowell OF
Harvard university. James b. Forgan,
president OF the First National bank of
Chicago. David r. Francis. eX-gover-
nor OF Missouri, Alba Il. Johnson,
president of the Baldwin Locomotive
works. and Samuel Mather. president
of the Verona and Hemlock River
companies. All the governors
OF the states are on the general COM
mittee. the mayor of prominent cities.

chambers of commerce. One of the
features OF next years celebration will

be the international convention of
mayors in London. The mayors of this
country will meet the mayors of
Great Britain for the serious discus
sion of problems related to the gov
eminent of cities.
The vice-presidents of the general
committee have addressed a letter to
the people of the United States. ask
ing for their support and cooperation.
The purpose of the exposition is one
of exceptional significance; for it is
not the signing of the Treaty of
Client alone that both nations will
unite in celebrating, but also the de
velopment and spread among the mass
es of the people of both countries of
that spirit of mutual understanding
and good will which makes the idea
of armed conflict between them as alb
horrent as its existence is unthink-
able.
All nations have been invited to join
in the celebration. The invitation has
been extended lin order that both by
thu participation of governments and
by the cooperation of men of good will
in every land this celebration may be
so carried out as to mark not merely
the close OF one hundred years of
peace between English-speaking peo-
pie, but the opening of what we sin
cerely trust will be a fresh era of
peace and good will between all the
nations of the world"
