we had to go in for the night,
but early the next day we all
started for the State Fair and
had a splendid time, as we were

by our old friend who enter

the man, Lincoln Beachy, with
his flying machine soar into
the air like a bird and hide be-
hind the clouds, then dart down
close to earth again, and then
rise out of sight again as if he
were a kite, and all regardless
of wind or weather.
We are certainly very thank

the Longman and Kirkwood

while we were among them,
and those of our club who fail

called at the State Department this
morning and presented their proposals
to Secretary Bryan. They had been In
conference on the subject for several
days.
South American countries cooperate
with the United States in an effort to
bring about a solution OF the Mexican
problem was made long ago and was
considered by the Administration.
Immediately after the visit of the South
American diplomats at the State De-
partment Secretary Bryan hurried to
the White House. There was a long
conference between him and the Presi-
dent and after comforting with other
q
to accept the offer. There were rumors
tonight OF opposition on the part of
some members of the Cabinet to this
course on the ground that ii was too
much Of a concession after twenty
Americans had been killed and many
wounded at Vera cruz.
AS soon as the President had decided
to accept the offer the reply of Secre-
tary Bryan was drawn up and Post
master-General Burleson was sent TO
deliver II to the South American diplo-
mats. In the meantime the diplomats
had wired a similar proposal to Huerta
in Mexico city to be presented through
the representatives OF the "A. r. c."
countries. At a late hour tonight the
three diplomatic officers were still await
ing Huerta's reply.

by to-day's developments. He greeted
the newspaper correspondents with a
beaming face and gave other evidences
Of being in a much happier frame OF
mind than he had been for many days.
Army officers were sceptical over the
latest development and some of them
were inclined to be harsh in their crti-
cisms.
They contended that the mediation
plan. even II 1t should succeed. would
still leave the United States with a
fundamental Mexican problem on its
the ability of this Government or a COM
bination Of Governments to bring about
popular government In Mexico. They
contend that the people Of Mexico are
and disorder will exist until the country
il united under man With an iron hand
like Porfirio Daz. Army officers in
sist that any attempt to choose con-
stitutional government in Mexico by ar
bitrary methods will still lead to con-
ditions which will require the policing
OF the country by United States forces.
The details Of me proposals to he
made BY the South American Govern
ments have not been given out. but APP
parently they will consist Of suggestions
which already have been rejected 10y
Huerta The United States in it's early
exchanges with Huerta suggested an
agreement between the contending fac
tions in Mexico to hold a constitutional
election. a guarantee from liuerta that
there would be no undue restrictions
upon the ballot and a promise from
Huerta that he would not himself he a
candidate.
Huerta rejected all these proposals
with bitterness and unless desperation
has undermined his courage he probably
will throw the suggestions aside for
second time. I, has been his oonton-
ton all along that he could enter into
no understanding with Carranza and
villa, who were in his eyes rebels
against the established government.
Persons in Washington familiar with
the Mexican situation expect to see him
maintain the same stand now.
The greatest fear expressed by mem
bers Of Congress was that Huerta would
reject the proposals in such IA way AS
to leave the impression that the United
States really had offered substantial
concessions and had backed down from
its original demands.
