For Salute of the Flag Intervention Now
Growing Closer.

WASHINGTON, Apr. 14.-Secretar!
of the Navy Josephus Daniels thi
afternoon ordered Admiral BaIinger
commanding the Atlantic fleet, to pro.
ceed Immediately with all his ships
to TampicO. The fleet is now at
Hampton Roads. Simultaneously the
transport Hancock was directed tt
sail from New Orleans for TampicO
with 800 marines.
The battleship South Carolina bound
nOrthward from SantO Domingo has
been intercepted and ordered to Tam
picO. Orders to sail for the same des-
tinatiOn were given to the cruiser
Nashville, now at SantO Domingo, and
cruiser Tacoma, now at Boston. The
entire torpedo fleet now at Pensacola
has been ordered to stand by for or
ders preparatory to making the Tam
PicO voyage.
Made No Explanation.
The order to the fleet by Secretary
Daniels was not accompanied by an
explanation. "I'll make an important
public announcement" said Secretary
Daniels in giving out the news.
Its self explanatory and | mustn't
be interrogated concerning it. The
statement will speak for itself"
Must Salute the Flag.
The only explanation to place on
the development was that the Tampico
federalS must salute the American
flag. Administration officials openly
declared today that as far as Presi-
dent Huerta was concerned there
would be no temporizing. The fleet
will be ready to leave tonight or to-
morrow.
Wilson Going Slow.
WASHINGTON, Apr. 14.-President
Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan
were still determined today after the |
cabinet meeting to avoid intervention I
in Mexico, if possible to avoid it hon
orably, but they realized that recent /
events bud increased the difficulty of
the task. Their advisers assured them
that unless they upheld Admiral Mayo
in his attitude at Tampico that ma
tional prestige would suffer in the
eyes of the world.
Situation is Grave.
1t is not denied that the situation
is grave. The only statement given
out was that the president was back
ing Admiral Mayo in his demand on
the federals of Tampico to salute the
American flag which they haven't done
yet.

THE HAULING OF TRAiNs.
Eastern Line Has Decided to Rebuild
and lnereass Capacity Of One At
Mahanoy, Pa.-Fsw Are
In Use.

inclined planes, over which trains
were hauled by cables, were a familiar
feature in the earlier railroads, but
they have been generally discontinued,
and are commonly looked upon as old
fashioned. This being the case, 1t is
an interesting fact that the Philadel-
phia & Reading railroad, after a care
ful engineering investigation, has
chosen to rebuild It's plane at Mahanoy,'
Pa, with increased capacity, rather
han to abandon it. In commenting
on this. Engineering News (New York,
December 49,, which. calls 1t "a re-
markable survival" notes that the old
planes were given up, not SO much be-
cause they YER inefficient from an en-
cheering standpoint as because they
had been built on a small scale and
could not handle the increased volume
OF traffic. The fact that there is still
a place In railway operation where the
inclined plane can show an economic
advantage over the locomotive, the
writer thinks, is q fact well worth re,
cording. He writes:
w recall only two instances in
railway-construction work during the
past 20 years where the inclined plane
has been Introduced. One of these
is the railway lire, which was built a
number Of years ago under the al
spices Of the British government, ex-
tending from the east coast Of Africa
inland to he central African lakes.
Across tie course Of this railway
there runs q p~recipitous escarpment,
1000 feet or more In height, as we re-
call, the result probably of some an
cient geologic fault. The escarpment
extends so far north and south and is
so steep that 1t was found impractic-
able to make a detour around it or to
pursue a zigzag course up its face, at
least in the original construction. An
inclined plane was. therefore, intro
duced to haul trains by cable up the
escarpment; and this, 30 far as we are
aware, Is still In use.
THE other plane is of more recent
construction and Is located In the Gu
ban ore fields. It's use In connection
with ore traffic is much more similar
to the conditions existing at Mahanoy
tina is the cas- with the African line"
1t would be interesting, the News
thinks, to inquire whether at other
places in the United States an inclined
plane might be used instead OF the 10.

operating department the advantages
Of the locomotive are obvious, but
there are numerous offsetting disad-
Vantages which are perhaps not fully

ture having humorous aspects. Over

scrambling and scampering legs,
with an accompaniment of suppress
ed giggles. He is helpless in the
darkness to pursue the elusive young
sters. 1t is funny, but somehow he

Also there is the viewpoint of the

purloins the bat, ball, mitts, and
gloves,the verdict of boydom is that
the thieves are sneaks, and deserve
a thrashing. They usually get it.
Perhaps at that moment of time,
the kidlets can realize how the gard
ener feels at the loss of the fruit of
the grape vine or melon patch on
which he has spent many hours of
labor.
In many localities people have
given up the home garden as they
can't get the fruit. Even vegetables
are dug up by organized gangs of
providers. They come armed with
bags at night and stock up for the
winter
All which tends to make the do
nestle and charming pursuit of gard
ening unpopular. Yet it seems a
laudable avocation, and one to be en-
couraged. 1t helps a bit toward high
cost of living, and promotes health
and contentment. Hence there are
still old fashioned people, who con-
slider stealing fruit as very much
like stealing baseballs or money.
