s N lnaIvldual and not against the

as an individual and not against the
people of Mexico.
The order for the display of Mexi-
can flags from the school houses and
other public buildings not occupied by
the United States troops has aroused
considerable criticism In Washington.
These new moves in the situation
We're generally attributed to Secretary
Bryan.
The President still regards the
steps which the United States has
taken at Vera Cruz as measures Of
reprisal." He does not admit that a
state of war exists as a result of the
severing of diplomatic relations by
Huerta. As far as the authority
given him by Congress in the joint
resolution goes, he said last night
it was certain that war does not
exist.
War need not necessarily follow
Huerta's handing passports to
Charge 'Shaughnessy, according 10
the Presidents views. He admitted
that war always is preceded or &C
companied by the severance of diplo-
matte relations and the handing out
of passports. but declared there tad
been frequent cases where these ac-
tions had been taken without bring
ing on war.
In denying a report that Admiral
Mayo at Tampico had ordered all for

| Dor the President pointed out that
| the establishment of a blockade
which exclude the merchant ships of
/ neutral powers wkould be an act of
war and would have to be preceded

| powers.
/ Mr. Wilson looked tired and worn

has been subjected recently. His
nights as well as his days have been

ty was the most active county in the

not do their share of the work

LincoIn's Chin Fly Story.

A certain amount of trouble is a
good thing.
Lincoln used to illustrate the point
with story about chin fly.
1t seems that once man was plow-
ing with very lazy mule. Suddenly
the mule lifted its head, switched its
stump of tail and went across the
field at a rapid walk and with most
unusual energy.
Reaching the end of the row.: there
was man on the fence. When the
mule and man came up the fellow
got down, walked over to the mule
and hit him slap on the jaw, at the
same time remarking, "Well, l killed
him that time!'
KILLED what?'
"Why, that chin fy.''
well, you interfering fool I wish
you would mind your own business.
That chin fly was the only thing that
made this mule go.''-Judge.
