NATIONAL TRIBUTE
TO DEAD MARINES
PRESIDENT LAUDs HERoIsM OF

President and Many Dignitaries Were
In Long Procession in New York.
Wilson's Speech.

New York.-To the men Of the navy
who died in the occupation of Vera
Cruz the city, the state and the ma
ton paid tribute in a demonstration
chiefly remarkable for its silence and
solemnity. For four miles through
the city streets the funeral cortege
passed, and behind with barred head
rode the president.
Perhaps a million persons saw the
seventeen collins, each on a caisson,
borne from the Battery plaza in Low.
er Manhattan to the navy yard in
Brooklyn. Such was the feeling Of the
massed thousands that the silence at
times was oppressive. There were a
few sporadic outbursts Of applause as
the presidents carriage passed, but
these were quickly hushed.
Though there were but seventeen
of the dead in the procession, Score
tary Of the Navy Daniels made 1t plain
that the ceremonies were for all who
had died at Vera Cruz-not only the
seventeen whose bodies were brought
up by the cruiser Montana but. also
for Clarence Harshberger and Henry
Pulliam, who have since died.
The religious ceremony at the navy
yard was more impressive, If possible
than was the sight of the slow NOV
ing cortege, 81 never was in a bat
tie or under fire." said President VIII.
son in his brief address, "but I fancy
1t is just as hard to do your duty
when men are sneering at you, as
when they shoot at you"

in another part of his address, ito

We don't want to fight the Mexicans;
we want to serve them.

in which it is proud to die, but a war
of service is a war in which it is a

SAYS HUERTA MUST
EXPLAIN At ONCE:
NEWS OF THE FATE OF PRIVATE
SAMUEL PARKS MUST BE
-GIVEN.
III WAS "A HOSTILE ACT"
If Infantryman Was Killed as Report
eds Considered a Breach OF the
Armistice

Washington.-The United States has
demanded of the Huerta Government
news of the fate Of Private Samuel
Parks, the American infantryman, who
strayed into Mexican lines near Vera
Cruz, declaring that unless informa-
ton about him was given Immediately
the American Government would con-
slider that IAN unfriendly and hostile
act" had been committed in violation
of the understanding for a cessation
Of hostilities pending mediation.
President Wilson and Secretary Bry-
an, it was learned, drafted a strong
communication, after receiving word
from the Brazilian Minister in Mexi-
CO City that Parks had been "execut-
ed"
No mention was made in the Min
listers report of whether he was shot
as a spy after a court martial or
whether his body was burned as has
been reported peristently to General
Funston.
The American Government cabled
the Brazilian Minister to inform the
Huerta Government the strong feel
ing of the United States in the matter,
directing him to make vigorous rep
reservations concerning the incident.
The note asked the Minister to pro-
test to the Huerta Government that II
Parks were alive. the failure to ex-
plain his whereabouts was in itself an
unfriendly attitude and that If the
soldier had been executed, as has been
reported, such execution of a man
who came into the Mexican lines in
full uniform was contrary to mll1try
procedure of civilized Nations and was
an act Of hostility.
No mention was made in the Amer1-
can note of the course the United
States intends to pursue in the matter,
but an official close to the President
said it was one of the things which
would be held up against the Huerta
Government when the final reconing
came over offenses committed against
the United States.
The receipt of word by the BRUSH
Embassy from Sir Lionel Garden,
British Minister in Mexico City, that
J. R. Silliman, massing American Vice
Consul. was on his way by rail from
Saltillo to Mexico City brought the
first news about Silliman in several
days, considerably relieving anxiety
that had been felt by officials. The
British Vice Consul at Saltillo tele-
graphed the information to Sir Lionel
Garden.

Detroit, Mich.-Ten men, most OF
them chemists, were killed by an ex
plosion of acid and chemicals in the
mixing room of the Mexican Crude
Rubber Company here. Four other
employees taken to a hospital may die.
Two men were seriously hurt. The
one story concrete building was al
most o%bliterated.. Other buildings
buildings within a radius Of a mile
were more or less damaged. The loss
was estimated at $4,000.
The dead are:
Edward Christopher, William Nc
Coy, C. Larsen, AL Hodgkins, Victor
r. Burns, William F. Niles, Jose Cas-
so. Gorton Latta, Enron Aman and
George Gleggoria.

man in the mixing room at he mo-
ment of the explosion was killed.
Masses of cement and concrete
were found several blocks away
Nearby buildings were battered by
the hail of flying stone and several
pedestrians had narrow escapes. A
short distance from the rubber fac
tory the plant of the Commerce
