from Copenhagen. Denmark. where she
has been since early spring. is the last
one of the fourteen Marshalltown peo-
pie who were in Europe when the war
broke out to reach home. Mrs. Hub
Ter sailed from Copenhagen on Nov. 10,
on the steamer Frederick VIII, which
was due in New York in eleven days.
Owing to rough weather. and slow
running occasioned by danger Of being
taken for a hostile vessel, the steamer
did not arrive in New York until Nov.
so, three days late. All boats still run
without lights, and every precautioa is
taken to prevent danger from warships.
Mrs. Huber has been in Denmark since
May 20. and was not able to get home
any sooner. due to the non arrival Of
drafts which were sent her late in the
summer These drafts were held in
London for over two months before be-
ing forwarded to Copenhagen. Ac-
cording to Mrs Huber there is good
deal of anxiety in Sweden and Den
mark caused by the war, and trade
conditions are abnormal. Several runs
on banks were made during the fall.
and thousands of people are out OF
work.

OF u. S. SHARPSHOOTERS
Always Professed Friendship for
Americans, But Is Wounded

had declared his great friendship for
Americans and whose wife was an Ameri-

finish when he died yesterday as the
result of a wound received during the
fighting Wednesday.
Martinez was in a house from which
persistent sniping operations were carried
on. 1t was suspected that he was the
author Of the shooting. He was watched
and warned Finally he was detected on
a balcony with his knees covered with
a newspaper. From time to time the
newspaper was seen to rise simultaneous
ly with a detonation. This evidence was
regarded as SO convincing that Martinez
was shooting that he became mark
Tor the American sharpshooters.
A steel-jacketed bullet then buried it.
self in him. The wound it made was
a serious one, but the friends of Martinez
inside the house hid him in order to pre-
vent his arrest. This made impossible
his receiving medical treatment until ii
was too late to save his life.
Martinez wife is among the American
refugees aboard the steamer EsperanZa.
She learned of the accusation against her
husband and of his being wounded, but
did not come ashore to see him, fearing
that such action might result in his dis
covery and arrest She sailed for Calves
ton on the Esperanza not knowing of his
death.

PRESIDENT Is COMMENDED.
Efforts to Avoid War With Mexico
Praised by Peace Society.

President Wilson's actions in trying TO
avoid war with Mexico were commended
yesterday in resolutions adopted by the
executive committee of the Washington
Peace Society They follow:
The Washington Peace Society desires
to convey to President Wilson and to the
members of his cabinet and his advisers
the assurance of deep sympathy and ap
nreciation of his and their efforts to avert

face of the existing crisis a way may yet
be found by which. with honor. the gov
erument of the United States and the
people Of the sister republic of Mexico
may so adjust their differences that mu-
tual confidence may be re-establfshed
and the two nations live in peace.
..It is the belief Of the society that the
neople OF the United States desire no ad-
ditions to their territory. nor do they de-
sire to exercise power over any other
territory than their own.
..The Washington Peace Society calls
upen all who share the foregoing septi-
ments to give expression thereto. thereby
sustaining the President in his difficult
task and conveying a friendly assurance

GEN. CARRANzA ADVISED
NOT TO MIX IN TROUBLE
Constitutionalists Here Urge Him to
Maintain Neutral Attitude
Toward United States.

| After a conference at the State De-
| partment with Secretary Bryan, rep
| resentatives of the constitutiona1ists
here late yesterday telegraphed Gen. Car
| rama, advising that he maintain neu-
trail attitude toward the United States
in its difficulty with the Huerta gov
ernment.
! The message to Gen. Carranza it was
said. contained what virtually was the
reply of the United States to his note
of several days ago protesting against
the occupation of Vera Cruz.
The constitutionalists in the confer
ence were assured that no offensive
movement from Vera Cruz was contem-
plated by the United States. and that
as soon as reparation and amends
could be forced from the Huerta fac
tion the customhouse in that city
would be turned back to authorities
duly constituted to receive it.
Representative Kent of California TOOK
to the White House today a telegram
from a friend in E Paso whom he de-
scribed as well informed. stating that
in his opinion the constitutionalists would
remain quiet if properly treated
Hostility of Factions Revealed.

who were confident that the constitu-

manding the constitutionalists at Gull
acan.'a concrete evidence of the hos
tility of the two factions.
The federal general had asked Obre-
gon to join with him against the United
States, but Obrcgon replied that Huerta
was deliberately provoking a foreign
war and that while the constitutional
lists themselves protested against the
capture of Vera Cruz and would resist
invasion they would never come to the
assistance of Huerta troops.
