FEDERAL TROOPS REMAIN.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 49,
It was said at the White House
today that the president would not
withdraw the federal troops from
Colorado for the present. 1t was
stated that the executive department

Saturday, actually accomplished, is
true.
The president conferred with the
Colorado senators and representa-

that many kilograms have reached

AMERICANS WILL INSIST
4 ON HUERTA'S ELIMINATION

VERA CRUZ, May 4-(By Mail)-
With the occupation of Vera Cruz
complete and the town turned over to
General Funston, one of two alterna-
tives confronts the American forces
there Either Huerta will agree to get
out and the troops will supervise a
constitutional election that will choose
a president of Mexico satisfactory to
the administration at Washington, or
the American army will proceed to
Mexico City and force Huerta out,
putting in his place some one accept
able to Wilson.
The elimination of Huerta and
whatever is the real object Of the Sec
ond. taking Of Vera Cruz and what
ever happens, this port will be held
indefinitely by the United States, as
the base of such operations as may
be necessary to bring the Republic of
Mexico into state that can be ap-
proved by the Washington govern
ment. That is why no part of the navy
proceeded to Tampico when the con-
quest Of Vera Cruz was completed.
It had been supposed that the United
States intended to blockade all Mex
ican ports and eliminate Huerta by
cutting off his supplies ana revenue,
but Huerta Is to be eliminated by a
much quicker process. Either he will
agree to get out at once and mediate
Semi-weekly herald., 1914-05-21

through Argentine, Brazil and Chill,
or troops proceeding from Vera Cruz
will put him out.
Whichever of these two courses be.
comes an eventuality, the men of the
American forces realize they are in
for long stay in Mexico and are
making their preparations according
ly. They have settled down for
certain amount of watchful waiting
-wetful wading, as the marines call
it. If mediation is accepted the
process will be slow one If actual
invasion of the capital is decided on
to eliminate Huerta, that too, will
be slow process, necessitating the
arrival of more troops, artillery and
locomotives. 1t is believed, therefore
that all that can be expected in the
near future is the occupation and
government of Vera Cruz, with the
possible extension of the American
outposts about the port.

An open break in the senate bank
ing and currency committee promises
to make Chairman Owens attempt
to have favorable report made on
his bill to regulate stock exchanges
a failure. The bill came up before
the committee and later Chairman
Owen said he had been authorized to
make favorable report. Only seven
of the twelve members were present,
and those opposed to the meas
ure said quorum was not present
when the vote was taken and that the
authorization to report favorably was
not binding. Senator Shafroth after
wards said neither the chairman nor
those who disagreed with him were
exactly right, but that the committee
had authorized Chairman Owen to
write a report and submit 1t to men,
bers for their signatures. Many sem
ators predict even if the bill reaches
the calendar with favorable report
it will not be included in the legis-
lative program for the present ses-
sion.

Having invaded Mexico so far as
its capital city, putting up at many
of the leading jails en- route, Richard
Harding Davis is better qualified to
speak of conditions in that land than
is any grape juice diplomat one might
mention. And he has done so in no
uncertain manner putting singing
stories on the wire as soon as he
reached the cable at Vera Cruz.
Making, as a true sport should, some
thing of joke of his own rough
treatment, he doesn't hesitate to
show the risks that others run, and
how insults and indignities are heap
ed upon Americans wherever found.
And this white an armistice is in
force, and Americans are entitled to
all the privileges accorded other for
eigners. No one reasonably doubts
that his description Of conditions is

One Of the shrewdest members Of
the diplomatic corps in Vienna, when
asked recently about the relations be-
tween Austria Hungary and Russia,
bluntly answered that there were
none. For the past two years there
practically has been no Russian am
bassador at the court of Vienna:
Nominally Of course there has been
an ambassador, but he has always
found some pretext for being absent
from his post, leaving the official du-
ties to a councillor of embassy who
has carefully abstained from doing
|anything. Similarly, Austria Hun
gary's diplomatic representation at
st. Petersburg has been almost equal
| ly perfunctory. For some time past
there has been considerable tension
!! in the relations between the two en-
Ipires, the precise reasons for which
are difficult to explain. The whole
situation is full Of complications
There are religious and racial ques-
tions involved affecting primarily the
two countries alone. Then there il
the old rivalry for predominance in
the Balkans and finally the many diff
ferences between the Triple Alliance
and the Triple Entente which exert
a most important influence on the re-
lations existing between the individ
ual countries in each group.

The dove of peace in the office of
Secretary of State Bryan was rudely
disturbed last week when Jacob E..
Conner, formerly consul at st. Peters
burg, and Frank N. Bauskett, Secre-
tary Bryan's confidential clerk, en-
gagged in fist fight. Conner objected
to being delayed in Secretary Bryan's
ante-room while other visitors saw
the secretary and engaged in an argu-
ment with Bauskett, which developed
into physical encounter. The COM
batants were separated after Baus-
kett's nose was bruised and Conner's
cheek was cut. Conner said he had
made several Intellectual attempts to
see Secretary Bryan to find out why
he had been dismissed from the SER

His home paper, the Lincoln Jour

state: "Mr. Bryan is said by Wash

BILE under the criticisms he has en-
|countered lately of his course in Mex
leo. A Nebraskan returned from
Washington recently with the report
that Mr. Bryan has lost his popular
ity with the newspaper men. His old
|suavity and frankness in dealing with
reporters is said to have changed to
irritation and secretiveness. This is
easily accounted for Notwithstand-
ing the strenuous. and conspicuous
life Mr.. Bryan has led, he was never,
until he entered his present position,
in place of great responsibility.
When he went to congress he was a
lawyer unburdened by large prac-
tice. He was not in congress long
enough to acquire responsibility there.
Since leaving congress he has been
regularly in political opposition which
is the least responsible of all posi-
tions. His own living has come with
out worry on the lecture platform.
He has met political defeat to sober
him, but his back has never been un-
der responsibility for the conduct of
enterprises on which the direct well
fare of himself and many others de-
pends. Responsibility seldom fails to
chafe unaccustomed shoulders. Those
who lack practice in responsibility
when young seldom grow to enjoy it.

The Defiance, one of the three
yachts which will seek the honor OF
defending the Americas cup in the
races against Sir Thomas Lipton's
challenger next fall, was launched
from her builders yard, at Bath, Me.
last week. She was launched bow
first instead of stern first, as is Gus
tomary. This was the second of the
three boats to get into the water
The ResOlute, owned by syndicate of
New York Yacht club members, took
her maiden plunge at Bristol, R. l.,
two weeks ago, while the Vanitie,
which is being built at Boston for
Alexander Smith Cochran, is on her
ways. The feature of the Defiance is
in her rig. The mast is well forward
of the center, in fact about half way
between the center of the lead and
the bow She will, therefore, set a
single lower jib, while her main sail
will be the largest of the three boats
Her rig is also very lofty, and for the
races scheduled off Sandy Hook in
mid-June the Defiance will have to
douse her topmast in passing under
the East river bridges at New York
in her passage from sound to sea
The exact dimensions of the Defiance
are withheld for the present, but il
has been stated that her general
are approximately lie
feet over all, 79.4 feet on the water
line, 22.6 feet beam, 1879 draught, and
that she will carry about $500 square
feet of canvas. 1t is expected she will
have to allow the Resolute several
minutes in a 80 mile race. Theoretic-
ally the Defiance should point higher
and foot faster than her rivals, but
in doing so she will probably prove ia
be a difficult boat to steer.

ten business men would drop in for

climbs the stairs to do so now. There
should be no trouble in securing 800
to 400 members at $1.50 per month,
or graduated dues of $5 down to 81
a month, according to the wealth and

bring in sufficient money so carry
on all the necessary advertising and
boosting. A dollar a month would
permit every young man and every
clerk in the city to become a member.
1t would appeal to hundreds where
there is nothing to appeal to very
many under present conditions. Then
let no member of the organization pa
tronize any kind of an outside adver-

dreds of dollars annually are taken
out of the city by the advertising
faker who comes along and can talk
most anyone into putting up So to
$40 for space in a hotel directory,
cash scheme or some other kind of a
fake. This is not as bad as it used
to be, but still many dollar goes
out of the city to enrich the pockets
of outsiders, with no earthly bene-
fits to the people giving up or the
town.
With room the size of the Bruns-
wick pool hall there would be space

Every merchant and clerk has heard
women say they were so tired but no
place to go and rest while waiting
for their husbands to transact bust
ness. Let every farmers wife be
welcome and you will find them COM

will be made comfortable and go home

of the people. We trust the propo-
