department did good work, for had

The first Official estimate OF
Mexican casualties at Vera Cruz
was cabled to the navy department
tonight by Rear Admiral Fletcher.
He placed the dead at 1876, and
wounded at 1875. .... .:.
Huerta Issues Orders.
With O'Shaughnessy, his wife
and Consul General Shankin and
staff, Fletcher reported other;
Americans -Aarrived~tvaboard + the
same train. The admiral report
ed that rumors had reached Mex.
leo City that Mexicans were being
detained at Vera Cruz, as a result
Huerta ordered that no more
Americans be permitted to leave
the Mexican capital. j
Refusal of Constitutionalist Gen
eral Obregon to join forces with
Federal General Tellez, at Quay
mas, against the United States,
suggested by Tcllez, pointed to by
high officials here as another evi-
dence that the constitutionalistS
will remain neutral in the present
situation.
Governor Colquitt tclcgraphed
Carlson tonight that he had order
ed ten companies of Texas infan-
try, a detachment, Of cavalry and
a battery Of artillery to, Browns
vile to aid protrolling the border.
English engineers Of the Mexican
Natbnaf railway were arrested by
Mexican federal authorities and
jailed at Orizaba, according to
Vera Cruz dispatches to the navy
department. "A chief dispatcher,
an American, was arrested, but
later released. :. .
While the attention of the
American government has been
concentrated for the most part on
restoring order at Vera Cruz, ex-
pediting the departure Of Ameri-
cans from all part Of Mexico, a
watchful eye is trained on the
Itfans-continental boundary be-
tween Mexico and the United
States for any signs of hostility
from Mexican constitutionalists.
The president and cabinet had a
long meeting, after which optim-
ism was conspicuously apparent,
both in demeanor and informal dis
cussions of the situation.
There was no particular devel-
opment to which a feeling of hope
fulness that real war would be
averted could be traced, but Gen
eral Villas friendly pronounce
ment, it was admitted, impressed
many officials with possibility that
the constitutionalists would re-
main neutral, whileathe American
government sought reparation
from Huerta.
Not So Sanguine.
Other officials are not so SAN
quine. The. army has moved with
precision and swiftness to protect
the American boundary and to re-
inforce the expeditionary force Of
marines and ,bluejackets at Vera
Cruz.

representatives of the Mexican
constitutionalists resulted in a dis

Editors are Human

We often wonder if it has ever
occurred to some people that editors
are human, and not superbeings
gifted with second sight.
An editor is constantly on the
hunt for news of interest to the
people who read and pay for his
paper, and he never Intentionally
omits an article of any importance.
The success of his paper depends
upon his impartiality in this respect
And yet often some people con-
ceives the erroneous idea that the
editor has purposely left out some
item concerning them or their
families.
Has it ever occurred to them that
the editor may not have heard Of
that particular item, although he
searched diligently in his efforts to
secure all of the news?
There is very effective remedy
for these isolated but inadvertent
omissions. The next time you
have piece of news concerning
yourself, or your family, or your
neighbors, or of your community
give it to the editor yourself, or
phone or write it in to him, and do
not depend upon others to do it.
They may be more interested in
affairs on their own side of the
fence.
The editor will thank you for
your thoughtfulness IN enabling
him TO secure news that will add to
the value of his paper and make At
of interest TO all of the people, fol
that is his mission in iife.-Ex

The Clouds Rolling By

Business is improving. Men are
being hired. 1t isn't SO hard as it
was to borrow money-on good
security,
Ever see an ice jam in the spring?
At first it looks as if it couldn't
possibly be budged. Even dyna-
mite doesn't faze it. But by and
by the warm sun gets in its work;
and then folks worry lest the jam
should move too quickly and do as
much damage by going as by stay
ing. We don'tsay that the business
problem is like an ice jam in every
particular but there are resemblances
What saves the down country from
being flooded by the spring thaw is
that the melt by day is checked
little by the freeze by night. The
arrangement Of the worlds credit
machinery, the conservativeness OF
bankers and the war uncertainties
now guarantee us against food of
speculation.
But to keep things moving in the
right direction and at proper pace,
we need more sunshine. 1t is a
time for courage, confidence. optim-
ism. Not splashes, not splurges,
not yet pinch-penny caution, but
manly gumption, grit and go-ahead.
Still superior to war news as topic
of interest in the American home is
where good values can be found in
buying for home necessities at fair
prices.
We can't let eating and living lag
until Europe move for peace. The
ordinary processes must go on-they
are going on but slightly affected,
save as we have allowed ourselves to
be scared before we are hurt.
Now that this great nation re-
gaining its wind and its poise, turn
on more sunshine-give hope a shove.

IT the present status of the great

thing it is the pressing need of con-
centration upon the part of various
organizations in the nation wide

lines of temperance and prohibition

cling tenaciously to old theories and
forms will only occasion delay when
great and rapid strides are demand.
