form of a colonel and was in camp
said secretary Of state Bryan Tues
day night in an address before the
Baltimore Bar association.
Bryan deplored the suggestion that
the United States prepare for war in
the sense that the nations Of Europe
have prepared for it.
Il have never fought beside a Drawer
man than he who now occupies the
white house" VI Bryan continued.
Why should men be asked in lime
of peace to prepare to die for their
country when there is so much need
for them to live for their country.

VILLA AND ZAPATA
A PAIR OF WONDERS

New York. Dec. Says the Sun,
~editorially:
Mexico is the land of wonders, but
never has it astOnished more than by
the transformation OF the guerrilla Ia
pata, scourge Of the south, into a pru-
dent and responsible overload Of the
capital of the nation, which he was
expected to ravage and desecrate; saver
Of life, protector of property, capable
administrator, practical f%inancier and
sumner of the limelight. In his new
character Zapata enters into competl-
ton with Francisco Villa, who was De-
coming famous for the same talents
and attributes. It remains to be seen
whether there Is room in Mexico for
two such admirable characters working
for the common welfare.

DR.. IRA COLLINS'S CASE
IS REVERSED AND REMANDED

Austin, Texas Dec. 9.-The court Of
criminal appeals today reversed and
remanded the case of Ira Collins
from FL Paso county. The appellant
had been convicted of unlawfully prac-
ticing medicine without having his
license registered, as is required by
law. The court today, in reversing the
case, held that the trial court erred
in permitting evidence to go before the
jury on the question Of previous con-
victiOns for the same offence and that
the withdrawal of such evidence from
the jury did not cure the error.

of the human body. From it we get
our blood and strength. Hence it is
important that it be kept in a healthy

COCKTAILS WANTS
ZONE PROTECTED

Washington, Dec. 4.-Whether the
navy department will send torpedo
boats to the Canal Zone to assist Gov
ernor Goethals in maintaining the
neutrality of the United States there
will depend, as announced tonight by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, on in
formation to be received by Secretary
of War Garrison as to the reason for
Governor Goethals' request Secretary
Garrison is still awaiting further ad-
vices from Governor Goethals.
The attitude of officials of the adj
ministration, as learned from them to-
night, is that this government should
go slow and act in this particular case
with much circumspection. 1t is not
stated that this attitude is due to the
fact that charges are unoffieially
made against British ship, but it
was the alleged violation by Brit
ish ship, the Lena, which is under
stood to have caused Governor Goe-
thals to send his urgent message last
night to Secretary of War Garrison.
The suggestion was made by one of
the officials to whom the matter has
been referred for an expert opinion
that perhaps the request of Governor
Goethals was very hasty. 1t was stat
ed by this official that the vessel
which has been charged with violation
of neutrality may not have been ac-
tually within the jurisdiction of Gov
ernor Goethals. Possibly then it may
he shown that she was within her
rights. Therefore it was suggested
that this government might well go
slow before action which might be
construed as one of offense to bel
ligerents.
Secretary of War Garrison said this
evening he had no information that
there was violation of neutrality
by the British ship Lena in the i'm
proper use of her wireless.
"All l know officially" the secre-
tary said, ''is that l received mes
sage from Governor Goethals to send
two torpedo boats to him to be de-
tailed to watch cases involving neu-
trality. He did not give any Of the
facts. l only know of the particular
allegation of violation of neutrality

CONGRESS CALLS
NAVAL WITNESS

Washington, Dec. 14.-Commander
Yates Stirling, Jr., who is in charge
of the submarine flotilla of the At
lantic fleet, has been summoned by
the naval committee of the House to
appear before them.
The committee expects Commander
Stirling to unfold some "deep sea"
secrets relative to naval unprepared-
ness. They have good reason for this
expectation, Already they have
learned definitely that Commander
Stirling recently made vigorous pro-
test to the navy department against
the condition of unpreparedness of the
torpedo destroyer and submarine flo
tilla. The navy department. response
was a rebuke.
The House committee intends to
bring out the facts in relation to this
protest and will endeavor to have the
correspondence between Commander
Stirling and the department made
public.
One of the facts brought to the at
tention of the department by Com
mander Stirling is understood to be
that when his flotilla was ordered to
Hampton Roads on November / there
was only one of the seventeen sub
marines composing the fleet which
would submerge.
1t was learned tonight from high
authority that another interesting dis
closure certain to be made by Com
mander Stirling is that the five tor
pedo destroyers now in the Philip
pines are practically useless.
Officials of the navy department
are said to be all "at sea" as to how
they can remedy that condition, in
asmuch as the torpedo destroyers
which have been at the Charlston navy
yard for months being overhauled are
now found to be in no condition to
send to Manila.
The destroyers which are now in
the Philippines are reported to be
greatly run down." only one of them,
it is said, being able to make the re
quired speed of from 25 to 2S knots,
while four can make only about 20
knots.
Commander Stirling for the past
six months or more has been endeav-
oring to persuade the navy department
to take note of the conditions of in.
in his fleet and remedy
them, but without success.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Reflecting
the prosperity existing in this coun-

retary, "that unless unusual conditions
should arise, resulting in abnormal de-

Among numerous recommendation
made to Congress these are the most
salient:
That early action be taken looking
to government ownership of all telc-
graph and telephone facilities.
That the telegraph and telephone

the Hawaiian islands, including the
Alaskan cable, now operated by the
war department, be Immediately tax

GOV. MAYTORENA
HOLDS HIS COURSE

Naco, Ariz., Dec. 14.-Governor Jose
Maria Maytorena at his headquarters
before Naco, Sonora, today explained
his attitude since the United States
army placed dozen cannon so as to
command his position and that of Cen
eral Hill, who is defending Naco.
The governor was smiling and
cheerful and so far as may be judged
from any outward indication the men
ace of American cannon or the move
ments of the American army are the
least of his worries.
He said quite frankly that he had
no intention of desisting from his at
tack on the Mexican town, declaring
that few if any of his bullets had
ever crossed the international line and
there was therefore no reason why he
should withdraw from his position or
change his tactics.
81 have absolutely no orders from
any superior authority to desist from
the attack" he said, "and therefore l
fail to see why / should withdraw or
change my plan of operations. 1t is
not my men who are endangering the
American side and we certainly cannot
be held responsible for the actions of
cur enemies.

President Gutierrez has sent me a
communication regarding the interna-
tional situation at Naco Possibly this
is true, but the message must have
been delayed for have failed to re-
ceive it,"
Ell Paso, Tex, Dec 14.-Copies of
President Gutierrez's message TO Gov
ernor Maytorena, which the COVER
nor claims he has not received, reached
here today. Following is the text of
the message:
National Palace, Mexico City, Dec.
9-Governor Jose Maria Maytorena,
Naco, Sonora: Mr.. Silliman, the
American consul, has Just shown me
q copy of telegram from Washing
ton signed by Mr.. Bryan, in which
he is asked to confer with and explain
to me the gravity of the situation al
Naco by reason of the attacks that arc
being made there, the result of which
has been that a considerable number
of Americans have been killed by bull
lets crossing to foreign soil.
"This is a very serious matter and
one upon which prompt action must
be taken. The outcome may be seri-
Gus if the firing is not stopped.
"You will therefore please take ade-
quate steps to prevent in the future
any bullets from your forces falling
into American territory.
"Also, if necessary you must sus-
pend the attack until further orders
so as to avoid the possibility of any
difficulty or misunderstanding with
the United States, country with
which we must be on terms of the
Utmost friendliness.
81 trust you will at once comply
with these orders and advise me ac-
cordingly.
