London.-Amid all the signs Of de-

Imam Again Reported.

Washington, May 1S.-The United
States demands of the Huerta govern
ment news of the fate Of Private
Parks, the American infantryman,
who strayed into the Mexican lines
near Vera Cruz, declaring that unless
information about him is given i'm
mediately the American government
will consider that an "unfriendly and
hostile act has been committed III
violation Of the armistice."
Strong Communication.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan, it is learned, drafted a strong
communication after receiving word
from the Brazilian minister in Mexico
City that Parks had been executed"
No mention was made in the min
listers report as to whether he vas
shot as a spy after trial or whether
his body was burned as has been per-
sistently reported to General Fun
stOn.
No mention was made in the Ameri-
can note Of the course the United
States intends to pursue in the mat
ter, but an official close to the presi-
dent said it was one of the things
which would be held up against the
Huerta government when the final
reckoning came over offenses commit
ted against the United States.
Will Not Interfere.
The three South American media
tors have received no communication
from the United States about the
Parks incident and persons in the con
fidence of the president said the affair
probably would not interfere with the
beginning of mediation, though it was
recalled in many quarters that the
United States accepted the tender OF
good Offices with the reservation that
no hostile acts toward Americans
should occur while the negotiations
were in progress.
The receipt of word by the British
embassy from Sir Lionel Garden,
British minister in Mexico City, that
]. r. Silliman, missing American vice
consul, is on his way by rail from
Saltillo to Mexico City, relieved the
anxiety felt by the officials. The
British vice consul at Saltillo te!e-
graphed the information to SIR Lone
Garden.

Though regarded as perhaps the
ablest military educator in the coun-
try, General Wotherspoon himself Is
not a West Point man. His military
education has been acquired largely IN
the practical school of the army.
Born in the service, the c OF an
army surgeon. General Wotherspoon's
place OF nativity Is the national CAPT
tai. He was educated In private
schools and then, In 1871, he was ap-
pointed a masters mate in the navy,
where he remained two years. Most
of his naval service was ON the old
Plymouth and it included a Mediter-
ranean cruise.
Returning to Washington In 1873,
General Wotherspoon, after examina-
ton, was appointed by President
Grant second lieutenant in the Twelfth
infantry. He joined his regiment in
California and began a career Of a
quarter Of a century's service on the
frontier and in the Indian country.
With his regiment he was in the
Nez Perces and Bannock campaigns of
the late '70's, and then for ten years
he served against the Apaches in the
continuous warfare in the Southwest.
A short period OF service at Sack
etts Harbor. N. Y, was followed by
three years in charge Of Geronimo and
other Apache prisoners In Alabama.
Then came a short tour OF duty as
aid to Gen. o. O. Howard, commanding
the department Of the East. followed

by service as military instructor at
the Rhode Island Agricultural college.
where he was in 1898.
He was out of the Cuban campaign
on other duty, but in 1899 he went
with his regiment to the Philippines
and had four strenuous years there.
The earlier part Of the time he par.
ticipated in the fighting on Luzon and
later In the southern islands.
In 1903 he came home and was made
assistant commandant OF the school
of the line at Leavenworth. In 1904
he vas assigned to the general staff
and detailed as assistant director OF
the war college.
Since then, save for brief periods OF
absence as chief of staff of the army
Of the second occupation of Cuba and
a few months as commander of the de.
partment OF the Gulf. his chief work
has been as president of the war col.
lege.

needed few realize until they stop to
consider how few men there are in the
country of military training and how
many will be needed in event OF war
il needless sacrifice Of life be pre-
vented.
To establish a reserve of the sort
General Wotherspoon has in mind it
would be necessary to have as a base
a mobile army-infantry. cavalry and
field artillery-of at least $50, 600 men.
Enlistments should be from two tc
not over three years. passing the man
on the termination Of his enlistment to
the reserve list for five or six years.
With such a system there would be
graduated into the reserves each year
$4,000 men. In three years there
would be 10000 reseryists and 1907
600 actives; in two years more,
roughly, $50, 900 reservists and 150.O00
actives, or a total of 450, 0O0-all Gen.
eral Wotherspoon can conceive would
v e be needed in the first clash OF
war.
THE coast artillery presents a sepa-
rate problem" General Wotherspoon
said the other day in talking on this
subject. "As at present constituted
the force is one-third short of what
is necessary to man merely the guns
we have, and these guns by no means
cover the strategic points that should
be protected.
In addition to the increased num-
Der Of troops l have mentioned. a

in war that can't be procured in a

Calumet the Secret of Economy

The high cost OF living nowadays. and
the way prices are steadily climbing sky
wards is making economy in the Kitchen
even more important than IL was in the
good old days OF our thrifty ancestors.
But how to achieve economy? There's
the rub!
In many lines, il depends almost en-
trely on the housewives knowledge OF
foods and on her watchfulness-but for
tunately, in one line, baking, economy
can be made almost automatic by the use
OF the famous Calumet Baking Powder.
Economy i'm baking as every good cook
knows, depends not so much on economy
IN buying the materials as on the success
OF her bakings Failures mean waste
bigger losses by far than the savings she
makes in buying. And the fact that Calu-
met absolutely prevents failures and
makes every baking successful has made
IL the favorite OF every cook that seeks
10 be economical. In other words. Calu-
met is the secret OF economy In baking.
IL Is the purest, too-attested by hun
drods of leading physicians-and as for
its general quality, IL is enough TO say
that Calumet has received the highest
awards at two Worlds Pure Food Exposi-
tions-one in Chicago. ILL.,. and the other
in Paris. France. in March. 1912. Adv.
