ment of the difficulty between
the United States and Mexico.
The offer was formally submit
ted by three South American en-
voys to Secretary Bryan, who
laid it before the President. 1t
is further stated from Washing
ton that it is ascertained that
this country will recognize the
constitutionalists when they
gain more territory.

formally announces his candida
cy, in to-day's News, for Judge
of the Court Of Appeals in this
the Third District, subject to the
action of the Democratic prima-

ability as q lawyer and his worth

laudation from his home paper
are unnecessary. 1t will not be
out of place though, to state
that he has been in a number of
counties comprising the district,
and that he has been given a cor
dial reception at each of his APP
pointments, and at this stage Of
the canvass he is well pleased
with the encouragement he has
received. He expects to visit all
the counties in the district be-
fore the primary, hoping to
meet as many voters as possible
in the twenty-three counties
comprising it.

There are thousands Of young
men in this country, who have
grown very patriotic in recent
days. and they are clamoring for
war with the Huerta aggrega-
ton in Mexico, but those who
are making the most noise are
not looking for recruiting
Office. They say President Will
son is too slow, that his waiting
policytis intolerable; that the
United States oughtg to fight,
and fight now; that the delay
has been too long already. War
is a serious thing. 1t means
death to many thousands of men,
and it would cost this country
millions and millions of dollars,
thereby stagnating all classes of
business. The fellows who are
clamoring to fight, and not will.
ing to shoulder gun themselves,
do not seem to realize the great
destruction that follows war,
neither do they seem to realize
how much better it would be for
the country not to go to war if
the trouble could be honorably
settled. The Huerta govern
ment is not recognized at Wash
ington. The whole layout is re-
garded as band of desperadoes,
cut Threats and murderers, who
cannot govern themselves. Meth
er are they willing to be gov
erned. The News is of the opin-
ion that if Huerta would throw
up the sponge, say to the United
States that he has acted wrong
fully, make all amends demand
ed by President Wilson, our
fleets and land forces could be
withdrawn, and the President
could say to the two fighting
factions in Mexico, go together
and fight as long as two men re-
main to stand in front of each
other, it will matter not a bobbee
to this country. There are
many young Americans who are
chivalrous, and who truly love
the flag. Many of them would
go out from well-governed
homes, surrounded by the COM
forts of life, and they should not
be asked to sacrifice their lives
for a lot of greasers unless it
should prove absolutely necessa-
~ in order to chastise the heath
en- Mexicans for wantonly insult
ing the United States. 1t is not
a question as to whether this
country could subdue the Huerta
forces or even the united
strength of Mexico. The United
States could hold its own, in our
judgment, against any two ma
tons, were it necessary to go up
against such a force. AS to
Mexico, the whipping of that
country would be like an infant
before giant. If real war does
not come the writer's who are
now criticizing President Will

San Antonio, Texas, April 3d.
Headquarters of the Southern
Division, United States army,
received instructions early this
morning to at once re- establish
the embargo on arms and ANU

ment was made at Fort Sam
Houston. The order came from
the War Department and was is.
sued early to-day. E''-7,
At Department headquarters
Lieut.. Col. ]. W. Heard. Adju-
itant General, said enforcement
of the order would be commenc.
ed just as soon as troops on the
border could be notified.
According to information given
out at departmental headquar-
tiers, the embargo is operative at
all points along the border with
in the confines of the Depart
ment, but officers would not dis
cuss its details. Both Federals
and Constitutionalists control

Washington, April 23.-Gen.
Carranza's note to President VIII
son declaring the seizure of Vera
Cruz by American forces a viola
ton of the national sovereignty
of Mexico, inviting the United
States to suspend hostile opera
tons and withdraw its forces,
and servation from the Constitu-
ltionalists Government should re-
ceive demands for PREPARATION of
offenses committed by Huerta,
stirred the Mexican situation to
a new and acute crisis late to- day.
The opposition to the Ameri-
can Governments action coming
from an unexpected quarter af-
ter the Washington Administra-
ton, had hoped for an attitude of
neutrality and passive observa.
ton from the Constitutionalist
brought the Government face to
face with possible hostility from
the great body of Mexican forces
lying in proximity to the south
ern tier of the United States.
Vera Cruz, April 24.-Early
yesterday afternoon the city of
Vera Cruz was in undisputed pos
session of the American invad-
ing force.
Although there was no organ
lied force used against them,
and the snipers were less in evil
dence than at any time during
the fighting: eight Americans
were killed and some thirty
wounded. While the Mexicans
suffered more severely the num-
Der of their casualties has not
been ascertained,. but the best
estimates obtained by Capt. VIM.
R. Rush, of the battleship Flori-
da, indicated that in the engage
ments of Tuesday and Wednes-
day their dead amounted to about
$50. No person knows how many
MeXicans fell wounded, as large
part of them were taken away
and hidden by friends.
DEAD ON STREETS.
In the streets about Para We'd
nesday afternoon were fifteen or
twenty bodies, a majority attired
in citizens clothing. Some of
the men evidently had been dead
since the engagement of Tues
day, and the tropical heat made
their diposal imperative. One OF
the first orders given after the
town had been captured was to
bury the Mexican dead in
trench at the sea end of one OF
the streets leading from the
plaza.

A BIG SUCCESS
Children's Day at Presby- terian Church Last Sunday a Delightful
 Service

The annual Children's Day service at the Presbyterian Church on Sunday last was one of the most interesting and de- lightful special services ever held by that organization.
 The Brinkley Presbyterian Church is really a monument in itself to the childrens work. Twenty five years ago this church was a veiy weak and small organization, in fact for twelve long years then the Brinkley Presbyterians. who had their church way out on South New Orleans Ave. was held together by the Sunday School. They had only about one dozen members and for those twelve years had no resi- dent pastor and most of the time no regular preaching service, but all of this time they maintained a wide awake progressive Sum- day School and naturally enough there is a tender spot in the hearts of the "old guard' of the Brinkley Presbyterians for the work among the children, out of which has grown the present organization.
 The services on Sunday con- sisted of some interesting, help full and spiritual songs, readings. recitations and addresses. The following participated in the program: Lorene Campbell, Charline Spencer, Neva Tomlin- son, Hortense Tomlinson, Myrtle Diverse. Kathryne Fay Camp bell, Virginia Lock Woodfn, Love Strickler, Dorthy Strickler, Sadie May Huffman, Harry Spencer, Jack Huffman, Ogden Brown. Terry Campbell.

Neff. whose business re quires that he be out, was fumigated so that no one else might catch the disease from him and is boarding elsewhere, The doctors say that there is
