who promptly wired the consul to make
his report by telegraph.
Meanwhile the war department had be-
come interested and Secretary Garrison
called upon Gen. Bliss at FL Paso for in
formation This brought the following
report by wire from that officer:
Investigation Vergara affair being
made. VIII report as soon as facts learn
ed. Thus far nothing known here ex-
cept as published in press. Affair occurr-
ed about So miles above Laredo at a
place not on railroad or telegraph line. -
Reasonably assured THAT neither United
States nor Texas officials had participated
in any action that might be regarded as
in violation of Mexican sovereignty. the
state department is now confronted with
the necessity of making fresh representa-
tions to Gen. Huerta in the effort TO Sc
cure the punishment Of the persons guilty
of Vergara's killing. s.
When the case was first brought to his
attention by Charge o Shaughnessy, Gen
eral Huerta promised an investigation
and the prompt punishment of the guilty
parties IL warranted by the facts, Altef-
ward the Federal general at Nuervo La
redo intimated that Vergara had joined
the Constitutionalists and had been Killed
by them. The discovery OF the body on
the banks of the Rio Grande bearing half
a dozen fatal wounds now furnishes tan
gible evidence for the further presocu-
ton of the case Today Secretary Bryan
asked John Bassett Moore, former ooun-
sellor of the state department. to visit
his office for consultation. and 1t IL In
ferred that subsequent steps in the case
will be in accordance with Mr. Moore's
suggestions.
Consuls have made no report to the
state department on the case of Snyman,
the former Boer general, who is asking
protection for his property through the
United States government Also it was
said that nothing had been heard of Gus

Texans from the border had assur-
ed that there was no excitement Eek

out without war. We will pray that
the foolhardiness OF adventurous men
and scheming politicians will not drive
us into war"
Daily Kennebec journal., 1914-03-10


The government is exerting its ener-
gies to work out a solution without
precipitating war and all that war
means. After all we have listened to,
l put it to you if a practical solution
has been suggested. Because the SEN
ator has seen fit to leave the situa-
tion in this way, does not furnish rea-
son why we should resort to the
remedy suggested. The very descrip-
tion he has given of Mexico repels
the idea that it is an easy way out
of the difficulty. OF course the situa-
tion in Mexico is regrettable. What
ever problems came to this admins
tration in that difficulty are inherited.
Those who are responsible for our
foreign policy are doing all that can
be done. They are not swift to rush
to arms; they are men who think and
weigh the facts and measure conse-
quences of acts before they commit us
to them. 1 repel the motion express
ed today that the department OF
state and President are negiecting any
duty that involves the peace and well
fare of the country
Senator Sheppard Of Texas declared
the majority of the people of his state
were in hearty accord with President
Wilson in his Mexican policy and de
plored the attitude of their governor"

he has yet to receive q report OF any
druggist, all of whose weights ara ac-
curate. However. the percentage Of

son why the weights are inaceurnte Is
that they are soon corroded by medi-

One of the questions that is now the
subject of discussion is when the ice
will bave the Kennebec river and it
is probable that the usual number of
wagers will be made regarding the
date. Last year the river was opened
to navigation the closing days of
March, the earliest for a number of
years. and the first vessel arrived
April z, it being the barge Manataw-
ney. The date of the closing of the
river by ice in 1918 was Dec. 2S. In
