 Symbathize With
 President Wilson
fAssoc1Arrp pness p1spArcnl


 LONDON, April 15.--Most of the London morning papers in editorial comment on the Mexican situation dis play sympathy with President Wilson in the difficulties which have arisen with Mexico, while at the same time contending that these difficulties Were largely brought about by his idealistic policy.
 Much curiosity was expressed over the intentions of the United States be- cause, although it is believed generally that Hncrta will yield, it is pointed out that should he prove obdurate the mere occupation of Tampico will not have much practical effect, and the blockade of> Vera Cruz would be the only measure that would deal a serious blow to the Huerta regime
 The Daily Telegraph cannot believe that President Wilson intends to put into effect resolute military interven- ton and sees no hope of putting an end to the anarchy which resulted from the Wilson policy of intervention
 The Daily Graphic considers Presi- dent Wilson's high moral purpose : have landed the United States and the president himself in a situation e greatest difficulty and embarra esment." ."

 The troubles to be feared from the spread of tropical diseases in lra1iic through the Panama canal :" he S'ud, are heavy financial losses through the disturbance Of trade rather than any great loss of life. Modern medicine has so far mastered ways or checking the infectious dis eases that in many civilized coun- ules no great mortality is to he feared from the introduction even of plague yellow fever or cholera For the United States and for Western Europe. the greater peril is to trade because medical control of the snraad of tropical diseases rests first of all on the stoppage of traffic.
 One of the most interesting if not improbable changes in the distri- button of tropical diseases is that nf the west coast of South America particularly Guayaquil. which will send yellow fever 10 India and re- ceive Asiatic cholera hy way of ex- change

QOEzON PLEADS FOR FILIPINO
 INDEPENDENCE
Delegate from the Islands Speaks Strongly on Pres ent Policy of the United States-Says Natives Are Able to Govern Selves
L.sao.1 .a-.-u. nu.s... n1.sn..-..111

q
 CLEVELAND, April T. The inde- p-ndence of the Philippines was a5- vocated by Manuel L. Quezon one Of the Philippine commissioners at Washington. in an address before the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce, "On Industry"
 The duty of the United States to the Philippines is plain" Quezon said Congress should enact laws giving the Philippines independence. The reasons are these: This country promised to withdraw it's sovereignty from the Philippine Islands. The fundamental proposals on which the declaration of independence are based and from which il acquires ob- vious justification are great compli- mentary principles-that all govern ments derive just powers from the consent of the governed. that the right inherent in every people to establish such government as to them shall seem best"
 Referring to the time when inde- pendence was said to take effect. Quezon said the question of time is all important. Those who promise that independence will be granted when you. our sons and grand . sons are dead and buried are either insincered or too shrcwd to disclose to the American people the reu pur- pose which underlies their protesta- tions. What could that promise amount to when you. who make it. do not live to sce it realized.
 As to the Filipino capacity for in- dependence. Que2on said:
 'The argument of the Filipino in the capacity for self government is hypocritical. It is the veil with which the office holder covers his desire to keep his place. IL is the ambush be- hind which turks company which monopolizes our hemp and sugar in- terests and which has already acouir- ed in defiance of the act of congress 65,00O acres of land in one tract and is ready to get more if given time and opportunity"
 Concerning the present administra : 1 ton policy toward the islands. Que zon said:
 The president has adopted q policy whereby the question can be settled only in a practical way After re- affirming the officially -avowed policy that independence is q goal toward which he would move as rapidly as the safety and permanent interests of the people of the Philippines would permit, the president appointed q ma jority of F'ilipinos in the upper house thus giving us control of bott branches of our legislature so W, may fully show our legislative ca- pacity"
 The governor general of the Phil ippines at the same time. in har- mony with the policy of the presi-
 dent, is appointing Filipnos 10 re sponsible administrative positions. If
 in the test, the Filipinos are sue.
 cessful, the speedy end Of your oc- cupation of the islands should come If the Filipinos fail. there will be halt and friends of CoIonialism ma,

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
 WASHINGTON. A pril 15.-General Huerta sub mitted to an executive ses- sion of the Mexican senate the demands of the Amer ican government for a salute of the flag. No answer had been received by officials late tonight of the result of the deliberations.
 Although no definite m- formation is available. the fact that Huerta submitted the case to the Mexican sen ate, which is specially y charged with the conduct ot foreign relations, and not to the entire body of congress. led to the belief here that he sought authorization from the senate for arbitration oi the question under dispute.
Arizona republican., 1914-04-16

WASHINGTON. April 1v.--tieneral Huerta was given final warning today hv the Tinted states government that unless q salute is fired to the stars ans stripes within g rcaeonafle time to atone flor the repeated offenses against the rights and dignity of the United States" serious consequences will result This warning was empha- sized by action which placed ma joritv Of the ships of the American navy under orders.to proceed at once to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Mexico.
 IL was learned thatHuerta. when ap- praised by Charge O'Shaughnessy or the proposed demonstration of the At lantic fleet. argued that the episode growing out of the arrest of American bluejacketS at Tampico was a fit sub ject for arbitration at The Hague and that he would appoint q commission to investigate the incident. President Wilson, in an emphatic reply through O'Shaughnessy, is understood to have told Huerta that the time for delay and evasion has passed and that the Amer ican government would temporize no longer.
 Administration officials hold that in suits to the flag are questions of na- tionaI honor and not subjects for ar hitration All information in Washing ion from Mexico City tended to show that Huerta is unconvinced that the u'nlted States is in earnest and thought that Washington is bmffing. Some anti-American demonstrations at Vera Cruz and other points are reported. Developments of the day here showed that q determined and forceful policy has been adopted by the president which will be backed by congress and enforced if necessary by the army and navy While expressing earnest hope for peace, the president unequivocally told members of the senate and house committees on foreign affairs that the offenscs of the defacto government in Mexico City to the dignity Of the United States could no longer be toler- ated and that unless Huerta complied with the American demands. the seiz- ure of the customs houses at Tampico

MAINE GR|D|RON NOTES
BILL ALLEN, HEBRON, TO
GO TO UNIV. OF MAINE

Bill Allen, the old Hebron player, is
going to the University of Maine. Sup
portcrs of the blue who were wonder
ing just how Coach Cochem would fill
UP the hole in the line caused by the
loss of Murray, last years star tackle,
will find here the probable solution.
Allen was one of the best players
that ever represented the oxford coun-
ty institution, and 1t had ben supposed
hat he was going to yarmouth. 1t is
now known for a cerainty that he in
ends to report this week for a place
on the Maine eleven.
Charlie Rice, the crack sprinter, and
French, hurdler and jumper, passed
through Lewiston yesterday on their
way to Maine. 1t was learned from
them that Goldsmith, the crack Ar
iington High distance man, will prob
ably accompany Bell, when the latter
returns to Maine.
Besides mis- proficiency in the grid
iron game. Allen is a good weight man,
and should materially strengthen that
part of Names track team.
