IRA coBE HAS LEFT SOME GOOD
JOBS-BACK TO THE FARM

The real reasons why Ira M. CODE
suddenly says, goodby to Chicago
have not come out-at least officially.
CODE is an efficiency man, an ex-
pert. His job was to run the street
car lines of Chicago. He was one Of
the six men who, as directors In the
elevated and surface railways, con-
troll the traction situation.
And now Cobe has up and quit
nearly ali his jobs. He has resigned
from the four most important street
railway jobs he held. AS member of
the board of operation of the Chicago
surface lines he was understood to
be the watchful boy for ]. P Nor
gan & Co. But his resignation has
been handed in. It is understood the
resignation will be accepted, and the
big fellow himself has gone to a
1,000-acre estate at Northport, Me-,
where no straphangers are allowed.
Bad health is one reason given for
Cobe leaVin US all Of sudden. An
other explanation comes from an in
side circle of creditors of the Assets
Realization Co. This $4,000, 900
concern has had a fierce crimp put
in It lately by the report of an expert
accountant hired by committee Of
New York bankers.
Cobe was president Of this assets
company and the bookkeeper and
general records have caused the cred
itors to get fighting mad, and the
onlookers who were not in it are
glad they have their money.
The attorney for the creditors, W. |
Tudor ApMadoc, saw Cobe on Oct. |
Is, the day Cobe shook the dust of |
Chicago from his feet and said fare |
well. ApMadoc will not say what |
passed between him and Cobe. A |
member of the creditors committee,
however, says ApMadoc issued a |
warning to Cobe' that ran about like |

PASTOR GOES MAD-SLAHS g
The Rev. John ]. Mullen, pastor Of

only those courtesies of the United
States which will facilitate their travel,
Dictator Huerta's peace envoys
reached Washington today en- route to
Niagara Falls. Tonight and Sunday
they will be guests OF Ambassador
Riano of Spain, and some time Monday
or Tuesday they will leave for the Ca
madam city, when Huerta's fate and
the future policy of the United States
south of the Rio Grande will be sealed.
The Huerta mediators insisted upon
paying their own bills. The first re-
lection was the delegates refusal to
accept two private cars chartered by
the department. They agreed to accept
one car ON condition that they be per-
mitted to pay for 1t themselves. They
insisted on paying for their own bag
gage transfers, but allowed the state
department to take charge of their
baggage checks They paid also their
own hotel bills.

Washington, May 16.-General Vic
toriano Huerta may choose between
safety in Europe or death before the
guns of a victorious constitutionalist
army. But he will have to make the
choice. His reign as dictator of Mex
leo is about to end. No matter what

in Canada next week-whether they
suggest that a commission shall succeed
Huerta-it was already certainty to-
night the mediators will. agree that
Huerta must go.
Simultaneous with the arrival here
today of Huerta's commissioners this
sentiment was echoed throughout the
entire diplomatic corps. Ambassadors
and ministers who are in complete
touch with the situation passed the top

certainty Of our own purpose we need
not and should not form alliances with
any nation In the world. Those who
are right. those who study their con-
sciences in determining thei- politics,
those who hold their honor higher than
their advantage, do not need alliances.
Weak Only When Wrong.
You need alliances when you are
not strong and you are weak only when
you are not true to yourself. You are
weak only when you are in the wrong;
you are weak only when you are afraid
to do the right; you are weak only
when you doubt your cause, and the
majesty of nations might asserted.
1T is my infalible test of O genuine
American, that when he votes or when
he acts or when he fights, his heart
and his thought are nowhere but in
the center of the emotions and the pur-
poses and the politics Of the United
States.
ANY man who touches our honor
is our enemy. Any man who stands in
the way of that kind OF progress which
makes for human freedom cannot call
himself our friend.
ANY man who does not feel behind
him the whole push and rush and COM
pulsion tha' filled mems hearts in the
time of revolution, Is no American.
No man who thinks first of himself
and afterwards of his country can call
himself an American. America must
be enriched by us. We must not live
on her; she must live by means of us.

mocracy. / would be ashamed of my
