salute the Stars and Stripes. II will
be because that was the crowning insult
in a long series OF insults. House Ma
iority Leader Underwood made this dis
tinction today.
"Any argument that the latest Incl
dent is too trivial to bring on the pres
cnt military and naval moves" he said,
lis untenable.n
"rhis latest refusal Of President Huer-
ia to salute is merely elimination of
series of insults extending over more
than year. In that time this govern
ment, feel, has shown great patience
with Huerta and the de facto govern
ment. The present situation cannot be
termed a move based solely on the flag
incident. Il is a move resulting from a
long series of acts by the Huerta re-
gime."
A number of Senators and House
&aders believing with Underwood,
were said to be planning an amend
ment to whatever resolution Con-
gress might adopt empowering the
President to act, which would indi-
cate to the people of the country
that Congress held the salute matter
forced the United States to act.
Senator Shively, acting chairman of
the Senate Foreign Affairs Commit
tee, reached the White House while
the cabinet meeting was in progress.
The Senator said that arrangements
for the joint session this afternoon
had been completed and that his COM
mittee would be ready to back up the
President in every way. He held that
the American people were at last be-
ginning to realize that Huerta was
not the Mexican government. Shively
held that any move this country
makes will be directed against
Huerta. The Senator said:
"I think that Huerta's position is
best shown by the telegram he sent
to then President Taft immediately
after he had dislodged Madero. This
telegram as I recollect it, said: ]
have the honor to inform you that
have overthrown the government
That shows the Huerta character bet
ter than anything else just now.Y
Senator Shively was asked whether
his committee had taken up the ques
tion OF recognition of the belligerencl
Of the Constitutionalists.
THAT has not been considered b.
Us and / do not believe that there
will be any such recognition" he re
Piled "We do not definitely know
what the Constitutionalists will do II
this emergency, and we will have tS
let the developments of the houl
shape our course in this regard.
want to emphasize, however, righ
here, that the United States will b,
prepared for any eyentuality what
ever. 1t will be ready to cope will
Huerta and his friends, or with an,
| combination which he may be able t
effect. SO fas as the suggestion thai
the President might not the the uni
ted support Of Congress for anything
he wants, I wish to say here and now
that this is not so. There are mem
bers who do not entirely sympathiz'
with our present move, but realize
that in a time of stress like this, pa
triotism must rule and partisanshiI
be forgotten. It will be a united
Congress upholding the President'i
hand"

MEXICO CITY. April 20.--Two
trains loaded with American refugees
left Mexico City early today for Vera
Cruz. Extra trains have been ar
ranged for and a general exodus Of
Americans from the capital will soon
be in progress.
General Huerta is endeavoring TO
protect foreigners. Foreign Minister
Portillo warned Mexicans TO contain
themselves and refrain from any
demonstration in a statement printed
In the local morning papers.
The departure of Americans from
the capital will be orderly. Arrange
ments are in the hands of the Ameri-
can transportation committee.
Dramatic In the extreme we're the
scenes which followed the news OF
General Huerta's refusal to accede to
the demands of the United States last
night. Two hundred Americans
danced at the American Club until
midnight, but others on learning Of
the turn affairs had taken hastily left
the club and went to their homes to
pack their belongings for the exodus
today.
There are 500 men and 200 women
and children in the American colony
in the capital. In Guadaljara there
are 400 Americans who were notified
Of the situation by Consul General
Shanklin at midnight.
Foreign Minister Portilio was
deeply affected by the prospects Of
war of his government with the
United States. At midnight, he re-
ceived the United Press correspon-
dent in his Office.
Yesterday, told you had great
hopes for peace with America" the
minister began, "but tonight ] have
very, very bad news for you. have
lost all hope of a settlement. We
cannot come to terms with the United
States"
With that Portillo sank into a
chair His face was drawn and
careworn. Later the foreign min

Delaware SOLDIERS
AWAIT CALL TO ARMS

Members of the Orgrnized Militia OF
Delaware. especially OF the cyeral com-
panies stationed in this city, anSiously
awaited news today concerning Presi-
dent Wilson's attitude towards mobiliz-
ing the army of the country in the pres
ent Mexican crisis. This interest was
aroused by the recent act of Congress
empowering the President to call on
the State militias for the reserve army.
Under this act the apportionment Of
Delaware would be 700 men at the first
call to arms.
While Delaware's organized militia is
considered on a war footing as far As
equipment is concerned. the total num-
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.

sham of the o. NJ. d., when asked this
morning how soon the State Militia
could, be mobilized and started south

statementssat this time. General Wick
ersham supplemented this by the state
ment that it would be unwise for him
to make any statements until he re-
ceived definite word from the War De-
partment and answered that question

the outbreak of the Spanish American war. He fought very bravely and was made captain of a company of scouts While scouting one day he was shot by & Spanish sentinel This brought great grief and sorrow into the house hold of the Burns.
 One day James saw a. sign which read: Men wanted for the United States army" When he came home he begged his mother to let him go and join the Rough Riders under Colonel Roosevelt. At first she would not let him go, but after begging a long time she let him go. He went to the gen eral and he let him go as g. bugler.
 Next month James and a company of men marched against the Spaniards at San Juan Hill. James sounded the bugle and the men charged up the hill. When they reached the top the flag bearer staggered and fell and James rushed up, picked up the flag and ran on- When James reached the summit and was about to jump on the breast works he was struck down.
 A soldier ran over and picked up the flag and hOisted the f1agpoIe. When the news reached his mother she was filled with grief and pride at the heroic death of her susband and son.
 Families like the Burns ought to be respected and honOred.

I wonder how many children have seen a lighthouse? ! have seen many.
 Near tue dangerous parts of our coasts are tall round houses, and the top of them is all glass, with great lamps far larger than the headlights of the railroad engines. The lamps light the water for miles. and by them sailors know where they are and how to get into the harbor. These lights differ from one another; one is white, one red and they flash so often. By this means the sailors, looking on their books, are able to tell just where they are. These lighthouses are lights to the paths for ships and guide them. Just so the Bible is a. light to show us the path to walk in.
 Once a lighthouse keeper was asked: What if you did not light the lamp tonight?"
 "That could not be- the lighthouse keeper answered.
 'rBut what if you did not light it?''
 Well" the keeper answered, to- morrow we would have news from the ships saying they knew not where to go. Of course, from shipwrecl1ed vessels with many lives lost"

The First Pine of Iobacco.

The first white man to smoke a pipe of tobacco was Sir Walter Raleigh. He lived in the days of Queen Eliza beth who was queen of England.
 After Queen Elizabeth died King James the First came to the throne. He thought that Sir Walter Raleigl. was trying to take the crown away from him. He had Raleigh put in prison.
 After many years had passed the king thought of sending Raleigh and other prisoners to South America for gold. This Raleigh was glad to do He landed at a place which he names Jamestown in honor of King James. He tried to make settlement there but he failed. He started for South America, but could not get any further south than Florida. He wandered along the coast of Florida for many a day, looking for gold.
 One day three Indians walked up to Raleigh smoking a pipe of tobacco. One of them had a plant and gave it to him. Raleigh carried this plant back to England with him.
 The first day he was at home he was smoking a pipe of tobacco. Everyone that went by looked at him. They thought he was on fire. His servant noticed him and ran for a pitcher of water. He threw it into Raletgn face and put out the pipe.
 Raleigh was very angry. but he said Tt was the first pipe of tobacco ever smoked in England.'
 RaleighS servant always smoked af- ter that.

Cissie's Adventure.

Glen was a clever Scotch sheep dog. He seemed to know all that children said, shared all their games of play, and saw that no harm happened to them if he could help it.
 One day when they were staying at the seaside they were invited to a pie nic: there were a great many children and they all had fine fun paddling, finding shells and building sand cas- ties.
 Little Cissie wanted to gather some of the pretty flowers she saw growing on the cliff, and when no one was looking off she ran and climbed up a steep, narrow path Higher and higher she went, until she reached a place of great danger. Though no one else mad seen her go, Glen followed, and now he was very much alarmed He pulled at Cissie'S dress to make her sit down, and then he ran to the edge of the cliff and parked as loudly as he could.
 Just then CiSSie was missed, and ohi what a fright everyone was in as they hunted about and could find no trace of her
 Perhaps Glen knows where she is,' cried her elder sister, and that is why he is barking so much Followed by another girl. she hurried up the steep path as quickly as possible, fearing all the time that poor Cissie might have fallen over the edge.
 On and on they went until they reached the top. when Glen came bounding to meet them and then ran back, barking loudly. as much as to say:
 Follow me-"
 Sure enough, all among the long the grass and ferns they found little Cissie, who was quite unaware of the danger she was in. If it had not been for good old Glen she would most like ly have met with E. sad accident.

you don't succeed, try, try again." but I wish to tell you, If at first you do succeed, try, try againi Failure all most as often follows success in this world as it precedes it and many 8 mortal has discovered who has suc- ceeded in every material way that he has made a failure of life, because he has neglected his mind
 There is a warning which came down the ages to man that he has never given its full value: with all thy gettings get understanding" It is up to every man to know why he succeeds, why he fails and why he is never to die To get a grip upon these three things means that you are to become more than an average man or woman.
 There are people who cannot stand success. and it is said to be their way to ruin but it isn't for they have never succeeded whatever their material gain. People who are on the road to riches are often on the road to ruin because they lack the understanding how to properly appreciate their position or to hold in comfort and honor the posi- ton gained.
 Excesses of every kind are a men ace to success: If you eat too much, drink too much, dance too much, sleep too much. study too much, or work too much, you are in danger of making a failure of life. Just enough of every thing is the price of true success; and just enough of everything spells tem- perance and is temperance from every earthly and heavenly point of view.
 The price of success is doing all things right; but the cause of ruin lies in doing a few things wrong It is easier to slide down hill than to draw the sled uphill-it is easier to make failure of life than to make success of it.
 With all thy gettings, get under standing;" and this covers the why, the when and the wherefore of the es- sential things of life. Success must dwell within you, or you cannot eX- press it. Others may aid in your sue cess, but you must clinch it yourself.
 Success in department is as neces- sary as success in study-success in thoughts as important as success in endeavor- Get the spirit of achieve ment in the mind and 1t may in time be truly said of you-he was master of his soul and captain of his fate.

Dear Uncle Jed: It was a winter night, Topsy, the gray pussy, sat pur- ring on the kitchen hearth.
 Sarah sat down by the stove and warmed her feet in the oven, before she went to bed.
 Topsy was left alone. The fire went down, and the kitchen began to grow cold. Topsy woke up. She wanted to go upstairs and jump into Sarah's bed, so she tried to open the door with her paw; but Sarah had Iatched it. Topsy mewed with vexation. She went back to her place on the hearth. The moon shone into the room. Topsy saw the oven door open. She purred at this. T have it now" she meant; I'll sleep snug and warm"
 Into the oven she crept- She rolled herself into a ball, put her head on her paws and purred herself to sleep
 Next morning Sarah came down be- fore light. It was washing day and she was in a hurry. She shut the oven door and did not see Topsy. Then she made the fire. Topsy's bedroom began to prove too warm
 Poor little cat She tried to push the door open but could not. 'Mew, Mew!" she cried.
 The fire snapped and cracked and Sarah did not hear her. She scratch ed the door and mewed as loud as she could.

But We must provide for the winter or else we shall suffer hunger" said the cat. You little mouse, cannot venture eV- erywhere lest you run at last into 8 trap This good counsel was follow ed and a little pot of fat was bought. But they did not know where to put 1t. At length, after long consult tation, the cat said: T know of no place where 1t could be better put than in the church. We will hide it in a corner, and we won't touch it till we are in want" So the little pot was placed in safety; but 1t was not long before the cat had great longing for it, and said to the mouse: 'I wanted to tell you, little mouse, that my cousin has d little son, white, with brown spots, and she wants me to be 9odnl other to it. Let me go out today and do you take care of the house alone"
 Yes. so, certainly replied the mouse.
 But it was all untrue. The eat had no cousin and had not been asked to be godmother. She went straight te the church slunk to the little pot of fat and licked the top off.

A Wise Indian,

Indians, as you know have to use their eyes very much. They have to study everything that they see. That Is their school. Their schools are not the kind we have nowadays.
 4 long time ago there was a wise and old Indian who lived in & hut among some white people.
 There was an old white man who lived all alone in a little cabin. away from the rest of his neighbors. He got up early one morning to go to work. He had hung a. bag of corn in his cabin for his evening meal
 After work he came home. When he got home his bag of corn was gone The man was tired and hungry. He said That laby Indian has my corn" The man went to his neighbor The neighbor and he soon got the Indian.
 The Indian said: T have not stolen your corn. Your corn was stolen by a white man."
 So they all started after him. Soon the thief was found and the corn was returned to it's owner.
 The neighbor said, Now keep your eyes open.
