lily indorsed at the capitol by senators
and representatives
Senator j. II. Lewis of Illinois,

The senate he said is prepared to
back up the administration TO the
fulle st extent
Il am very glad that we have stiff

the United States to fool very long
with an outlaw like that"
Il am thoroughly in accord with
this decision by the president said
Senator HOke Smith of Georgia. L
am very much pleased at what has
been done and l see no reason why
there should be any further delay in
getting the salute fired.
IntIe dI6 DltnlN OI IedSODS WHY
President Wilson should have taken
action TO stop the recent aggressions
by HueTta," said Senator Norris Of
Nebraska. 1t is probable that HUI
efta has decided that he would rather
be licked by a big nation than by
some of his own people who would
kill him if they caught him
Il think. the president has given
Huerta plenty of time" said Senator
Williams Of Mississippi, a member of
the foreign relations committee. Il
am awfully sorry tha tit is coming
TO war. Huerta seems to have done
all he could TO bring it TO pass-pOs-
sibly 20 save his face in Mexico.
There is, of course, limit TO the
patience of the American people and
the president must expect sooner or
later to meet the situation. l know
he regrets the present situation as
much as / do or as much as anyone
could. shakespeare advice is right
to Beware Of entrance TO a quarrel
but being in, bear it that thy oppOser
may beware Of thee The advice is
very good in this instance"
Representative Cline of Indiana,
acting chairman of the house foreign
affairs committee, said:
II heartily approve of the presi-
dents action in notifying Huerta that
he must salute Immediately We have
monkeyed with Mexico long enough.
Nobody wants Intervention or war,
but the time has arrived to tell HUI
erta we will not stand further quib
bling"
Acting Chairman Cline said that if
there is an immediate necessity for a
meeting Of the foreign relations COM
mittee he Will issue the call. although
he believes that the administration

ENGLAND IN TERROR
OVER ARSON CAMP PAIGN
MILITANTS ARE WAGING

LONDON, April 1S.-A reign of ter
ror exists today throughout the British
Isles as a result of the activity of the
suffraget incendiaries The fears OF
property owners were heightened to-
day by the Information that Scotland
Yard has discovered plot among the
leaders of the militant suffragets to
carry on the most eXtravagant arson
campaign that has been attempted
since women injected violence into their
campaign for votes
, Insurance rates are being increased
and many large properly owners are
employing special guards to watch
their buildings
A striking feature of the situation is
that no one knows where the torch will
be applied next. The leaders have
divided the arson squad into detach-
ments, one of which has been sent
into Scotland and another into Ireland
The police are mystified as to the
source OF the finances which the mill
tants need to carry on such a cam
paign.
During the past twenty-four hours
suffragets have done more than $3.50
600 damage.
