washington, Feb. 26.-Word came
direct from President Wilson himself
today that the United States had never
requested permission to send marines
to Mexico City and had not discussed
nor taken up the subject In any way
with Mexican citizens.
Officials here made It plain that they
regarded such an announcement by
General Huerta as being for its pos
sible effect on Mexico City and to ac-
centuate the presidents repeated as
surance that foreigners were in no
danger.
The president told callers that Rear
Admiral Fletcher had sent long dis
patch discussing the sending OF
marines, but said that his conclusion
was that such movement was not
advisable or necessary at this time.
Mr.. A. shaughnessy took the same view
For several days there has been
much discussion In official circles about
the sending Of legation guard to
Mexico City similar to those sent BY
Great Britain and Germany, and while
1t Is admitted that the Washington adj
ministration has been considering the
advisability of such a step 1t was stated
that no decision in the matter had
been reached.
It also has been reported here for
some time that the Huerta government
was not adverse to foreign countries
sending legation guards to Mexico City,
and the diplomatic representatives, In
Mexico City from practically all the
nations had recommended such action.
Tho United States has each time been
advised previously Of the intention Of
other countries to send marines to
Mexico City.

Unfortunately, an occasional tragedy
marks the history of a swimming hole.

Nor are natural swimming places, In

pool; when ones in he is likely to be

This has been usually considered a
necessary drawback in swimming
holes. A lad was supposed to take the
risks ordinarily incident to the game
of learning to swim. Like football. 1t
had its dangers. but its rewards were
esteemed sufficient to justify.
II has remained for philanthropic
but unnamed man of Dayton to take
the risk out of swimming holes; that
is, all extraordinary risk. He proposes
to equip the swimming holes Of Day

over his shoulder at the earth he was
leaving to winters cold mercy. and a
warm wind blew softly. Toward noon
Kazia, leaning on the doctor and his
buxom wife. was helped to the front
porch, where the Matka was waiting
with cushions and shawls. In a big
rocking chair the convalescent was
made comfortable, with cushions at
head and feet and the shawls tucked
carefully around her.

Mrs. Hedges gave last pat to the
cushion behind Kazia's head. "You
take deal of spelling. think, dearie. ;"
Kazia sighed. "I'll hate to leave
you" Tears, for some reason. were
treacherously ready that morning.
"Then." drawled the doctor. you're

their sinews as they waited to pounce
upon and torture the coming steel.
And before them lowered the rebuilt
furnace, alive now and discordantly
vocal with its first labor. Thither Mark
pointed.
Watch nowl We're just in time.

As he spoke, the shrek Of the
checked blast rose. drowning all other
sounds, and the crew Of men working
at the furnace mouth sprang back.
