IN a long series Of insults. House Ma

tinction today.
ANY argument that the latest Incl

is unteuable'
"Ihis latest refusal Of President Huer-
Ia TO salute is merely a elimination of

than a year In that time this govern

with Hucrta and the de facto govern

termed a move based solely on the flag
incident. lt is move resulting from a
long series of acts by the Huerta re-
gime."

Delaware SOLDIERS
AWAIT CALL TO arms

Members of the Orginizcd Militia Of
Delaware. especially OF the soveial com-
panics stationed in this city, anxiously
awaited news today concerning Prcsi-
dent Wilson's attitude towards mobiliI-
ing the army of the country in the pres
cnt Mexican crisis. This interest was
aroused by the recent act of Congress
empowering the President TO call on
the State miltas for the reserve army.
Under this act the apportionment OF
Delaware would he 700 men at the FIRST
call 70 arms.
While Delaware's organized militia 10
considered on war footing as far as
equipment is concerned, the total mum.
Der of enlisted men is below that which
would be called for by the government
in time of war. The total number Of
men, officers included, in the various
companies in the State is 4s3.

ONLY ONE LOOPHOLE
Will LET HUERTA OUT
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, April 2O.-General
Huerta still has one loophole, a rank
ing member of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee pointed out to-
day He can and will, this Senator
thinks, appeal TO the British, French
and German ambassadors to act as
Intermediates and attempt TO adjust
the breach between this government
and Mexico.
When Secretary Tumulty was
asked IL President Wilson would ac-
cede to such a plan. he said: "Pm
not answering hypothetical ques-
tons"
Huerta will base his appeal on the
grounds that the vast financial in
terests of those foreign nations will
be still further crippled by armed in
tervention or a blockade of Mexican
ports.
Throughout the whole controversy,

referred the whole matter to the fac
ulty for investigation and action.
THE cadets charged with the offense
were summoned before the faculty that
they might be given an opportunity to
make Il full statement. This state
ment they made.
After full and free discussion. the
faculty adopted resolutions expressing
their strong disapproval of hazing and
requesting the corps to cooperate with
the faculty in eliminating completely
all forms Of haZing as defined under
regulations thirty-four and thirty five
for this institution. The statement Of
the cadets under arrest that they did
not regard their action az constitut-
ing hazing or violating the regulations
Of the institution, was accepted by
the faculty, and the cases were dis
missed 1t was evident from the
statements made that nothing violent
or even approaching severity was done
by the students.
This action of the faculty was
