A HISTORIC TRIANGLE.
Famous Battlefslds of the Plains Of
Hesbaye, In Belgium.


Describing the road from Brussels
to Liege. which skirts the plains of
Hesbaye, Baedeker quotes the old pro
verb. "Qui passe dams lie Hesbains est
combattu lendemain" He who enters
the Hesbaye is defeated the next day."
Such was the reputation of the Hes
bains for strength and bravery.
The ancient province Of aesbaye Is
indicated on the maps as a triangle.

apex, Liege- The river Meuse, from
Namur to Liege, forms its southern
side; the railways from Llege through
Tirlemont and Louvain to Brussels its
northern side. A line from Namur

century later the Austrians. under the
Prince Of Coburg, uncle Of the late
King Leopold of Belgium. defeated

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
p.1nitation of The Hear+.

Palpitation OF the heart Is
usually Of nervous origin. The
people who suffer from 1t are Of
nervous temperament, and
the attacks generally appear at
critical times In life's journey
or when the sufferer is weaken
ed By illness or depressed by
grief or worry or anaemic from
combining work.
Intense fear win bring on pal
pitation OF the heart In almost
any one. In some people also
It Is a symptom Of indigestion.
Those who are subject to palpi-
tation should avoid oyerstimulat-
ing and straining the nervous
system. Tea and coffee are slim
ulants that do harm in many
cases, and alcohol and tobacco
are sure to be hurtful. The term
smokers heart" describes the
form Of palpitation that tobacco
causes.
Palpitation Of the heart causes
distress not only because the
beat Is so alarmingly rapid, but
also because Of the irregularity
and the humping force Of It.
The symptoms vary all the way
from a simple feeling Of weak
ness and a fluttering round the
heart TO a rapid pounding that
almost makes the victim fear
that the heart is trying to escape
from the body. There is also a
pronounced throbbing Of the ar
teries. The sufferer must learn
that palpitation. although I'M
pleasant, is not dangerous and
must be willing TO 90 slowly for
a time, to take only moderate
exercise and to avoid stimulants
and all articles of food that tend
to cause fatuIent dyspepsia.

Mediators at Niagara Falls Would
Give Carranza Time to
Deliberate
SHIPMENTS OF AMMUNITION
ENJOYS Think. This Is Question
Purely for Americans
to Decide

Niagara Falls, June 6.-Defnit'
word about the Consttutionalists at
titude toward mediation is not expect
ed by the South American ENJOYS un-
iii Monday and possibly Tuesday They
realize that Carranza's trip from Du-
range to Saltillo will occupy him dur
ing the next As hours and they are not
disposed TO worry about the delay, be-
lieving that time for deliberation is
essential at this moment.
The question of ammunition ship
mcnts to either the Constitutionalists
or Huerta, is not giving the mediators
any concern. They hold it to be an is
sue purely for the American govern
ment to decide.
Conference Today.
For the first time i'm four days, the
American delegates conferred today
with the board of mcdiators. The
general peace plan was under discus
sion. as it has been decided as much
progress as possible should be made
while word is being awaited from
'Carranza.
/, is understood here that should ii
be necessary To wind up the Niagara
Falls conference without dealing with
the constitutionalists, the program al
ready outlined for the disposition OF
the controversy between the United
States and Huerta, would be made the
subject of protacol. This proceed
ure would obligate United States Ia
aid in any orderly transition from the
Huerta rule, to such a government as
may be named to succeed it.
Francisco Urquidi. Carranza's agent
at New York, has announced that in
the absence of a definite statement
that Bryan has given orders to prevent
the shipment of arms and ammunition
to either of the Mexican factions, he
will continue to purchase and ship wal
Through Tampico.
Dispatches yesterday stated the Am
eriCan schooner Sunshine from Gal
weston had landed arms and ammuni-
ton at Tampico for the Mexican con
stitutionalists without interference on
the part of the United States or the
Huerta government.
Officials declined to verify the re-
port but from other sources IT was
learned that the presence of the sun
shine off Tampico had been known to
the Washington government for sew
eral days.
In view of the fact that there had
been considerable apprehension re-
garding the attitude the United States
might take toward the landing of am
munition at this MeXlcan port. the
actual delivery of munitions of war
for the enemies of the Hlerta govern
ment without interference was regard
ed as significant
