the members of the Board. and
every one felt that a bright

Wentworth Passes Government
Inspection.

made by a representative OF the
United States Government of
the principle military institutions
of the United States, was held at
Wentworth Military Academy
Monday.
The Inspector was Capt. How
| ard L. Laubach of the General
Staff Corps of the U. S. Army.
Capt. Laubach arrived on the
morning train from Kansas City
and very soon afterward the
Program at the Academy was be-
gun.
Company Drill, Battalion Drill,
and Battalion Review and In
spection were held in quick sue
cession. These drills we're held
in full dress and the appearance
of the cadets in the grey uni
forms aud white equipments was
most excellent. The movements
We're executed with a precision
and accuracy which it would be
difficult for regular army troops
to equal. The exercises were
attended by a number Of college
girls and people from town.
Following these drills there
was inspection of buildings. The
entire plant was open for inspee-
tion and, beginning at the
kitchen, Capt. Laubach examined
almost the entire place. A num-
Der Of the Central College girls
and young ladies from town ac-
companied the Inspector.
After dinner had been served
Capt. Laubach was introduced to
the Faculty and the Senior
class. The continuation of the
field work was checked by
light shower and examination Of
the Glasses in Tactics was sub
| titufed. The classes were
given map and patrOling prob
Iems to solve.
Following this were bayonet
and setting-up exercises in the
| drill hall. The Hospital corps,
and Signal Corps demonstrated
their work and concluded the in
side exercises. Some outpost
work was shown and Capt. Lau-
bach was forced to leave in
order to catch the Kansas City
train.
For the excellency which the
Cadet Corps has attained in mil
ltary work Maj. T. D. Thorpe de-
serves the highest commendation.
His cadet Officers have shown a
knowledge of military science
and tactics which has never been
surpassed in the history of the
school, while the cadets in ranks
drilled in a manner which would
have done credit to West Point
cadets.
For the appearance of the
barracks and cadets, the discip-
line and excellent spirit through
out the corps, Maj. w. II. Mac
Kellar deserves the highest
praise.
These two men have developed
the finest kind of military spirit

their enthusiasm over the work
by giving many cheers in the

MEDIATION WILL
FAIL, SAYS LONDON
Newspapers Believe Offer to
Bring About Peace May
Cause Greater Trouble.

LONDON, April 27.-The virtual
concensus here in regard to the
Mexican trouble is that it is most
doubtful If the offer of the three
South American countries to mediate
will lead to settlement,
1t is assumed that President Huerta
will not accept mediation, and it is
also feared that something will hap
pen in the meantime which will COM
pei a fight to finish between the
United States and Mexico.
The Morning Post commends Presi-
dent Wilson for taking advantage of
an honorable means of escape from a
difficult situation, but says 1t will not
bo surprised if President Huerta re-
CARDS the acceptance of mediation as
climb down and persuades himself
that If he stands firm his triumph is
assured, though IL he thinks that the
United States will shrink from the
last resort. whatever efforts and
sacrifices may be necessary to secure
victory for her cause, he is making
a grave mistake ard will be rudely
undeceived.
The Post holds that If the United
States becomes involved in what may
appear to be war of conquest all
South America will be against her.
The Daily Graphic expresses doubt
that mediation will avail to settle the
conflict between the two countries.
1T is even possible" says the Daily
Graphic, that 1t may easily commit
the mediatorS to terms which Presi-
dent Wilson connot accept. In that
case the war would have to proceed
with the sympathy of the whole of
Latin America overly on Mexico's
side"
The Daily News and Leader ex-
presses doubt about President Huerta
accepting mediation, while If the
stories of outrages on Americans are
confirmed, the paper says, the talk
of arbitration will be speedily ended.
1t adds:
THE frank acceptance of the offer
of the Latin republics by the United
States may tend to restore confidence
between them, but one sees in the
offer itself the shadow of still larger
disaster 1t is tragic irony that the
future peace and prosperity of the
whole of the New World is now en-
dangered for the sake of a man like
Iluerta."
The Daily Express, while dispar-
aging what it calls President Will
sons "doctrinaire sentimentalism,"
suggests that it was the realization
of the unexpected difficulties in
Mexico that caused him to accept
mediation. 1t adds:
Perhaps 1t would make things
easier to admit the fact, among other
things, that war Is war"

Villa Offers to Do All
Fighting if U. S. Will Send
His Troops TO Vera Cruz

Ell PASO, Tex, April 27.-Pancho
Villa has a visionary plan for accom-
plishing in Mexico the aim of the
United States, at the same time re-
lieVing the United States from fight
ing and bringing on the enmity of
the Mexican nation for violating
Mexican soil"
The plan is this: Villa would have
his troops concentrated at .Juarez,
where they would surrender their
arms to the United States for ship
ment to Vera Cruz, and the United
States would then furnish trains
to transport Villas soldiers to Gal
weston and transports to convey them
from Galveston to Vera Cruz. The
troops would be under guard through
the United States. Arriving at Vera
Cruz the troops would be landed on
Mexican soil, the port Of Vera Cruz
would be turned over to the "Consti-
nationalist" government, Villas men
would receive arms and ammunition
and would march to Mexico City,
while the United States warships
held a blockade over the harbor to
prevent aid coming to Huerta.
This proposal is made in an in
spired article in a local paper today.
Villa has not denied it was his plan,
and the report is current that he is
preparing statement in which he
will say that such a plan will be ac-
ceptable to him.
Even If the statement is not pre-
pared 1t is known that the plan has
been laid before the officials of the
United States with the declaration
that If 1t is proposed to Carranza
and Villa they will accept it. That it
came originally from Villa there Is
no doubt.

Take Skin from Arm
to Make New Eyelids

BALTIMORE. Md, April PA rare
operation IN optical surgery was per-
formed at hospital here last Satur-
day, when three large pieces of skin
were taken from the arm of Miss
Sarah Trego to make new lids for
her left eye. 1t is thought the sight
of the eye, which was rapidly failing
on account of exposure, will be saved
by the operation. Already the grated
skin has started to take root and the
patient can partially open and close
the eyelid.
After the skin was taken from Miss
Trago's arm the SCARED tissue sur
rounding the eye and the membrane
of the lid were removed. On the de-
ruded area the skin of the patients
arm was grated. Miss Trego was
burned about the head when a child

American demonstrations were
exaggerated, although at no time did
they feel a full measure of safety.

Cruz but among the better clement
