WISE COURSE
CARRIED OUT.
BY PRESIDENT,
SAYS RUSSELL
Candidate for Congress and
Peace Advocate Believes
Wilson Right in Demand
ing Salute.

Looking at the armed occupation
OF Vera Cruz by American forces
from the viewpoint of one who does
not approve of war, nor believes war
fare justified under any conditions, l
do not believe the United States ha6
any right to act as it has done in Vera
Cruz" said Prof. Ebert Russell, of
this city, founder of the 1ntercoliegi-
ate PeacS association, an organizatio
embracing colleges in twenty-three
states, and prospective Progressive
candidate for congress from the Sixth
district
However, looking at President Will.
sons action in ordering the occupa-
ton of Vera Cruz from the viewpoint
of international rules and procedure,
armed invasion of Mexican territory
is the only natural result of Huerta's
refusal to salute the United States
flag"
In Prof Russells opinion President
Wilson has pursued a wise policy in
his handling of the Mexican situation.
II do not believe the United States
has any right to interfere in the in
ternal affairs of the neighboring re-
publics and do not believe President
Wilson would have adopted the pol
icy he is now pursuing if Huerta had
not refused to salute the flag" he
continued. "Ninety-nine men out of
one hundred in Huerta's position
would have complied with the Ameri-
can ultimatum and believe President
Wilson was as surprised as any one
when the Mexican dictator refused to
comply with this demand"
Asked if he did not think a firmer
policy toward Mexico than pursued by
Presidents Taft and Wilson would
have forestalled the present complica-
tions, and if he did not think Presi-
dent Wilson should have recognized
the Huerta administration, Prof. Rus
sell gave negative replies. He said a
firmer policy by either president
would have only resulted in interven-
ton months ago. He approved OF
President Wilson's refusal to recog-
nize the Huerta government because
it served to discourage the tendency
of ambitious politicians and adventur-
ers in Mexico and other Latin-Ameri-
can republics to wrest control of the
government by force of arms. Recog-
milton of Huerta, he said, would have
served only to place a premium on
revolutions in such countries.

O SHAUGHNESSY ASKS ADMIRAL FLETCHER
FOR PROTECTION FROM CAPITAL To COAST

VERA CRUZ, April 24.-Dangerous
conditions exist in Mexico City as
result of Huerta's proclamation, which
has aroused great feeling against the
Americans.
1t Is reported that the American
flag has been trampled in the streets.
and that threats have been made
against the Americans remaining in
the capital.

BY Monday morning 5000 American
soldiers will be off Vera Cruz. the en-
tire torpedo fleet will be ready for
blockading duty off the Mexican
coast, a competent invading force will
be prepared to hurl itself over the
border and to follow the line Of march
blazed by General Zachary Taylor and
his frontiersmen in 184S.
Tie plans for the temporary suspen-
sion of American military activity are
dependent, of course, upon similar
lack of action on the part Of Mexicans.
In the event of Huerta's men taking
any aggressive step against the Uni
ted States or attempting to recover
the city of Vera Cruz. war dogs of the
American army and navy will be un-
leashed and the cry will be "On to
Mexico City"
Beyond Monday the administration
has no definite plan, but it is practi-
cally certain if Huerta does not yield
to our demands by that time the Am
erican forces will be landed at Tam
pico, Campechi, Mazatlan and Man.

not expected here.
'Huerta will fight" is the general
impression. In contrast with the rap
i'd action of the last ten days, today
was comparatively quiet in Washing
ton. Feeling of relief was manifest
in all branches of government over
receipt of a lengthy message from
Consul Carothers in which it was sta
ted that General Villa did not share

that in event of actual war, Villa may

Carothers' dispatches formed the

cabinet was unanimous in its approval

operations and the meeting disband-
ed with the hope prevalent that war
might be averted.

LONDON. Oct. 5.-That the Germans
have made a breach in the southerly
outer chain OF Antwerp defenses is be-
lieved certain here. The Belgian dec
laration that "all Of the forts are still
intact" disregards, it is believed here,
the st. Catharine-Wavre and Waelheim
positions ON the extreme southern end
of the line. The fact that the Germans
claim that these forts have been
"smothered" and that the Belgians ad-
nit they have "been forced 70 with
draw north Of the Nethe river taken
together, means that, even though IA,
forts still hold out, they have been $50
lated.
But these are simply the outlying
line and their loss is considered hero
as seriously menaoing the safety OF
Antwerp. Nevertheless there Is a CON
stantly growing belief that unless the
siege can be lifted by the allies CO.
operating with the Belgians within a
short time Antwerp must inevitably
surrender.
The city's Notifications are of the
same general character as were those
of Liege and Namur. The Germans
can be depended ON not to make the
mistake OF trying to carry them by
storm. but will reduce them with their
big caterpillar siege guns. II is be-
cause this fact is realized by the gem
eral staff OF both England and France
that the line OF the allies is being con
stantly heightened to the north. Both
