HUERTA'S END
DRAWING NEAR
Believed that Anarchy and
Bloodshed Will Soon
Prevail. J
BRITISH WILL LEAVE
Dictator Recalls Troops Guarding
Railroad to Vera Cruz to Guard
Mexican Capital.

Vera Cruz, Mexico, June 3o.-he-
volt of the federal troops in Mexico
CITY, the downfall or flight Of Gene
raj Huerta, and outbreaks of blood
shed and anarchy in the capital were
freely predicted here today by retu-
gees from the interior. They said that
never since the death of Madero has
the tension in Mexico City been so
great and prophesied that the explos-
ion may come within a week.
Uneasiness among the native pop
ulation and among Huerta's soldiers
in the capital, the refugees say, IS
spreading fast. Reports are coming
in from the west that federal soldiers
are deserting to the constitutionalists
in many places, and hourly the M
preston has grown that Huerta's
star is near it's setting.
Mexico City, June 30.-Sir Lionel
Garden, British minister, has advised
all British subjects temporarily to
leave Mexico. He said the shortage
of fuel used in the operation of trains
was becoming more acute daily, and
that the trains probably soon would
stop running, which would make diff
cult the departure of persons in the
interior.
Sir Lionel said he believed it to be
his duty to urge all British subjects
to leave the capital Immediately. He
especially advised that the women
and children be removed.
Eight hundred British arc register
ed at the legation as now residing in
Mexico City.
Britishers lacking funds to enable
them to get out Of the country wilt
be furnished with money by the lega-
ton as loan.
Niagara Fails, Ont, June 30.-Med-
iation is in most complex state. It's
principals are undecided whether to
adjourn formally or to recess and re-
new their efforts through the Ameri-
can government toward bringing the
Constitutionalists and Huel!ta dele
gates into conference for the settle
ment Of Mexico's internal problems.
While the signing of the series of
protocols covering various phases of
the international situation has brought
forth confident expressions from some
quarters here that mediation has been
a success, skepticism has arisen
among others vitality connected with
the proceedings as to whether any
thing of value actually has been ac-
comphshed.
That war has been averted is gen.
orally admitted, but of the actual pac-
I ifcation of Mexico, few here see any
visible signs of progress.
The protocols already signed set
! forth in effect the conditions under
which the United States will recoe
nlZe new government in Mexico. Ev-
erythlng, however. is conditioned on
the establishment of a provisional
government, which must be the re
suit of an agreement between the
two warning factions. These have
not yet been brought together. Some
Of the mediators doubt if they even
will be.

Occasionally we hear some one de-
claiming largely that what this coun-
try needs Is not a prohibition law.
but one which will eliminate the man
jufacture and sale of ardent liquors
and permit the general use in re-
spectacle manner of beer and light
wines. The healthfulness and sturdi-
ness Of the German people is cited as
an example that beer is not harmful.
but is mildly exhilirating and gives
one contented and comfortable feel+
ing. Il
On the other hand. physicians state
that the steady beer drinker is not a
man of health, no matter what his
appearance might be. 1t Is alleged
that he is susceptible to disease and
z ready prey TO such maladies as
pneumonia while men of spare frame
who are teetotalers can more easily
throw off any disease. Whether that
point has ever been settled we do not
know, but there has recently come
bOuitC a DtdlC-
ment that Germany is beginning to
recognize that beer drinking is me-
nance to health and 10 physical de-
velopment. This may b, hseFved
from the following dispatch Ia n Ber-
lin:
"To the development OF atheltic
lsports In Germany is traced in large
measure the great reduction in beer
consumption.
Thousands OF. young men in and
out Of the army who are training for
the Olympic games to he held here in
1916, with the, hopes of eclipsing
American prestige in the classic
contests, have found that the first de-
maud Of their physical instrnctors is
less beer drinking, and athletic EN-
thusiasm Is such that the instructions
are followed. Many have given up
beer drinking altogether"

MAY PRINT THEM LATER

Some time ago this paper announced
that It would print the names Of the
persons who signed the petitions for
the dispensary to be reopened In this
county. We did this with the in
tention OF apprising the people
wiluse nancs might iiave been used
improperly and also to let persons
know the status as to citizenship
of those whose names were written
on the petitions.
Supervisor King takes very prop
er position about the matter. He
does notS wish to give out the names
unless the issue should come TO an
election. and then he will permit the
widest and fullest publicity. But un-
less there il, ruling from the at

the statue an election can be otdef:s

he thinks IL better not, to iISake the
lists public. We will not insist upon
the proposition. although we believe
that the lists are. public records and
we could get to copy them by due
process of. law, but we do not care
to print, them anyway IL the petition

However, we will state this gen.
