tives of General Huerta were willing
 to go out of their way to show dis
 regard for the dignity and rights of
 this government, and felt perfectly
 safe in doing what they pleased, mak-
 ing free to show in many ways their
 irritation and contempt. A few days
 after the incident at Tampico an or
 derly from the U. s. s. Minnesota
 was arrested at Vera Cruz while
 ashore in uniform to obtain the ships
 mail and was for time thrown into
 jail. An official dispatch from this
 government to it's embassy at Mexico
 City was withheld by the authorities
 of the telegraph service until peremp-
 torily demanded by our charge d'af-
 faires in person.
 So far as I can learn, such wrongs and annoyances have been suffered to occur only against representatives of the United States. I have heard of no complaints from other govern ments of similar treatment. Subse- quent explanations and formal apol- ogies did not and could not alter the popular impression, which it Is pos sible 1t had been the object of the Huertista authorities to create, that the government of the United States l was being singled out and might be l singled out with impupity for slights and affronts in retaliation for its re- fusal to recognize the pretentions of General Huerta to be regarded as the l constitutional provisional president of \ the Republic of Mexico.
 "The manifest danger of such a l situation was that such offenses might grow from bad to worse until some
 thing happened of so gross and in tolerable sort as to lead directly and
 inevitably to armed conflict. It was necessary that the apologies of Gem eral Huerta and his representatives should go much further, that they should. be such as to attract the att l tention of the whole population to l their significance and slch as to irn- press upon General Huerta himself the necessity of seeing to 1t that no l further occasion for explanations and professed regrets should arise. I, therefore, felt 1t my duty to sustain Admiral Mayo in the whole of his
 demand and to insist that the flag of
 the United States should be saluted in
 such a way as to indicate a new spirit and attitude on the part of the Huer- tistas.

General Huerta Has
 Refused to Salute

Such a salute General Huerta has refused, and have come to ask your approval and support in the course I now purpose to pursue.
 This government can, I earnestly hope, in no circumstances be forced into war with the people of Mexico. Mexico Is torn by a civil strife. If we are to accept the tests of it's own constitution, 1t has no government. General Huerta has set his power up in the city of Mexico such as it is, without right and by methods for which there can be no Justification. Only part of the country is under his control. If armed conflict should unhappily come as result of his attitude of personal resentment towards this government, We should be fighting only General Huerta and those who adhere to him and give him their support, and our object would be only to restore to the people of the distracted republic the oppor- tunity to set up again their own laws and their own government.
 ''But earnestly hope that war is not now in question. I believe that I speak for the American people when I say that we do not desire to control in any degree the affairs of our sis ter republic. Our feeling for the people of Mexico is one of deep and genuine friendship, and everything that we have so far done or refrained from doing has proceeded from our desire to help them, not to hinder or embarrass them. We would not wish even to exercise the good offices of friendship without their welcome and consent. The people of Mexico are entitled to settle their own domestic affairs in their own way, and we sim cerely desire to respect their right. The present situation need have none of the grave complications of inter- ference if We deal with it promptly, firmly and wisely.

NO doubt I could do what is neces- sary in the circumstances to enforce respect for our government without recourse to the congress. and yet not exceed any constitutional powers as president; but I do not wish to act in matter possibly of so grave conse- quence except in close conference end cooperation with both the senate and house.

THE TEACHING OF SEX HYGIENE

Has Received Numerous Commenda-
tiOns.
The teaching Of sex hygiene in the
schools is being urged by so-called
advanced" educators and "social re-
formers" as a cure for immortality of
the present day. In quite number
of places an effort has even been
made to introduce it as a regular
part of the school curriculum. The
position which Catholics, and indeed
all right thinking men and women
should take on this important ques-
tion is outlined in a pamphlet recent
ly issued by the Central Bureau of
the Central Verein, entitled 1.-THE
Teaching Of Sex Hygiene in Our
Schools"
The author of the pamphlet is
recently issued by the Central Bureau
with some addenda. The subject OF
which it treats is one on which every
Catholic should be informed. The
price Of this pamphlet is S cents per
copy. or 81 per 100. with discount

Sir Edward Grey and the French

behalf of their Governments pledg-
ing the allies not to conclude peace
with Germany separately during the
war. When peace is finally conclud-
ed the allies undertake to make no

Gus mutual agreement"
1t was also pointed out that as a
result of this agreement, even though
France should be conquered by the
Germans and completely overrun by
them, it would be impossible for the
French Government to negotiate
peace with Germany on an individ-

.,? Irish Factionists.
It was not to be expected that the
various exponents of factionism in
ireland would allow the present op-
portunity to pass without making a
final effort to smash the Home Rule
bill. Within the past few days. we
have had Sir Horace Plunkett. Lord
Monteagle. and William O'Brien
rushing in with their various theories
for the settlement of the Irish ques-
tion. They are all at one, apparently.
in the view that the great obstacle to
home rule is the Home Rule bill. If
the bill can be postponed, or hung
up, or altered, all will be well. How
ever, the Irish people know exactly
the measure Of factionism, from
whatever sources it comes, and they
are not in any humor to be trifled
with by anybody just at present.
They trust Mr.. Redmond and the
Irish Party implicitly. and they are
not in the least likely to be influ-
enced either by sugary suggestions
from newly-discovered friends" or
by the attacks of persistent enemies.
They welcome an accessions to the
Nationalist armed or unarmed ranks,
so long as such accessions are bona
fide. But they are quite capable now,
as they have always been, of manag-
ing their own affairs and Of direct
ing their own movement. Those who
would endeavor to take advantage of
the present situation to break up the
unity of Nationalist Ireland will find
that their task is not only difficult,
but impossible.

destruction Of Louvain. The state
ment' says:
Belgium is circulating officially
