ism.
Patriotism" he said, lis prin.
ciple, not mere sentiment. No man
can be true patriot who does not feel
himself shot through and through with
a deep ardor for what his country
stands for, what it's existence means,
what its purpose is declared to be in
its history and in its policy.
Need No Alliances.
John Barry fought like every other
man in the Revolution in order that
America might be free to make her
own life without interruption or dis
turbance from any other quarter. You
can sum the whole thing up in that
that America had right to her own
self-determined life.
There are just as vital things stir
ring now that concern the existence
of the nation as were stirring in the
time of the Revolution and every man
who worthily stands in this presence
should examine himself and see
whether he has the full conception of
what it means that America shall live
her own life"
The President referred to the creed
of the revolutionary heroes by saying
that Washington and Barry were the
men who first saw that America must
live her own life without .entangling
alliances"

EASY WAY TO GOOD HEALTH
Stand Straight and You'll Steer Clear
Of Lung Trouble, Says Medical
Body.

New York.-The first essential In
the avoidance of tuberculosis of the
lungs, or consumption, is to keep the
lungs strong, so that If the germs are
breathed they can do no harm, &C
cording to bulletin Of the American
Medical association.
One of the most important things
in keeping the lungs strong is to keeI
the chest wide open, so that the lungs
can be properly used. If the body Is
dropped or stoops, or If the shoulders
are allowed to drag forward Ground
shoulder), or if the head is carried
forward instead of well back over the
shoulders, the chest must be fiattened.
the breathing must be shallow, and
the lungs, not being freely used, be-
come weak.
1t is In this type of chest that tuber-
culosis usually begins. The consump-
tive is usually narrow chested, with
dropped shoulders and with the head
craned forward. While the develop
ment of strong, well formed chest is
one Of the most important factors in
preventing tuberculosis, the same
thing is to be desired If the disease
has once started. Not only should we
live in the open, but we should stand
up straight and learn to throw big
chest" so that the lungs can grow
strong and the fresh air be taken in.
The runner, the singer, or any one
who is Obliged to make sustained eff
fort is taught to stand and sit with
the chest high, so that the lungs can
be used to the best advantage, and If
every one would do the same thing
there would be less tuberculosis, be-
cause there would be fewer weak
lungs.

DICTATOR MUST ANSWER.

Washington, D. c. The United
States has demanded of the Huerta
Government news OF the fate of Private
Parks, the American infantryman who
straysd into Mexico lines near Vera
Cruz, declaring that unless information
about him was given Immediately the
American Government would consider
that ian unfriendly and hostile act"
had been committed in violation of the
understanding for cessation of war
like moves pending mediation
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan, drafted strong communica-
ton after receiving word from the
Brazilian Minister in Mexico City. that
Parks had been executed
No mention was made in the Minis
ter's report of whether he was shot as
a spy after a court-martial or whether
his body was burned, as has been per-
sistently reported to General Funston.
The American Government cabled the
Brazilian Minister to inform the
Huerta Government of the strong feel
ing OF the United States in the mat
ter, directing him to make vigorous
representations concerning the Incl
dent.
The note asked the Minister to pro-
test to the Huerta Government that if
Parks were alive the failure to explain
his whereabouts was in itself an I'M
friendly attitude, and that If the sol
der has been executed, as has been
reported, such execution of man who
came into the Mexican lines in full
uniform was contrary to military pro-
cedure of civilized nations and an act
of hostility
No mention was made in the Ameri-
can note of the course the United
States intends to pursue in the mat
ter, but an official close to the Presi-
dent said it was one of the things
which would be held up against the
Huerta government when the final
reckoning came over the offenses COM
mitted against the United States.
The three South American mediators
had received no communication from
the United States about the Parks
incident and persons in the confidence
OF the President said the affair prob
ably would not interfere with the be-
ginning Of the mediation proceedings.
though it was recalled in many quar-
tiers that the United States accepted
the tender Of good Offices with the
reservation that no hostile acts toward
Americans should occur while the
negotiations were in progress.

ACID EXPLOSION
KILLS TEN PEOPLE
Four Others Taken From Debris
May Die.
BUILDING 0BLlTERATED
Most OF Victims Were Chemists
At Mexican Crude Rubber
company's Plant, In
Detroit.

Detroit.-Ten men, most of them
chemists. were killed by the explosion
Of acid and chemicals in the mixing
room of the Mexican Crude Rubber
Company, on the West Side here. -Four
other employees, removed from the
steaming debris, were taken to hos
pital and all may die. Two men were
less seriously hurt. The building, a
one-story structure of solid concrete
and cement, was almost obliterated.
Other buildings within radius of a
mile were more or less damaged. The
loss was estimated at $4,000.
Among those who escaped were John
H. Evans, superintendent, and John G.
Treadwell, manager of the plant.
Just what caused the explosion prob
ably will never be known. In the
mixing room was large vat of molten
rubber being prepared by secret pro-
cess. Without moments warning
the building was torn to pieces. Every
man who was in the mixing room at
that moment was killed.
Masses of cement and concrete were
found several blocks from the scene of
the explosion. Nearby buildings were
battered by the hail of flying stone and
hundreds of windows broken. Several
pedestrians had narrow escapes. A
short distance from the rubber factory
was the plant of the Commerce Motor
Car Company, which was badly dam
aged.
The company manufactured imita-
ton leather and it is understood that
ether and other explosives were used
in large quantities. Because of the
secret process of preparing the crude
rubber. employees were not allowed to
leave their department to enter other
parts of the plant. Few of the en-
ployes knew each other and it was
some time before the victims were
identified.

TWO WEEKS IN

Only Four Outof Fifteen Persons
Survive.
a TRAGEDY OF THE SEA
A TRAGEDY OF THE SEA
Two Weeks After They Had Left the
Doomed Steamer, the Third OF the
Boats in Which the Crew Had
Left is Picked Up.

Halifax, N. S.-A brief wireless mes
sage received here told of the dis
covery by the United States revenue
cutter Seneca of the missing third life
boat of the Leyland Line Steamship
Columbian, which was destroyed by
fire in mid-Atlantic two weeks ago.
OF the Is men who scrambled over the
side of the Inflated liner into the third
boat, only five were alive when found
by the Seneca.
The other II had died from ex-
posture, and their bodies had been cast
into the sea. In the boat were Robert
Tiece, Oscar Kendall and Ludwigsen,
fireman.
Complete Exhaustion.
All of the survivors were in state
of complete mental and physical ex-
haustion as the result of their terrible
experiences in the open boat at sea-
This was reported to the Revenue Cut
ter Service here in relayed wireless
dispatch from the captain of the
Seneca. The report stated that the
Columbian's boats had been picked up
In latitude 43.26 and longitude $3.50.
Those rescued were the chief officer,
two seamen and fireman. These
men were in terrible state of ex-
haustion when picked up. Half-crazed
from thirst, hunger and exposure they
presented an awful sight when the
Seneca reached the side of the little
craft. The men were helpless, being
scarcely able to move hand or foot,
and their voices had failed almost to
whisper
Only Four Left.
That these four of the Columbian's
men are living is almost a miracle.
They had long been mourned as dead
and when they are able to talk freely
of their experiences they will have a
terrible story of the sea to tell the
world. Short of provisions from the
outset, they had practically nothing to
subsist on. and one by one they sue.

of the boat became lessened, IL of the
men having died and their bodies con-
signed to the depths.
How They Died.
When their short allowance of bis
cult and water had failed they main
tanned life by chewing boot leather and
the few stray crumbs of hard tack.
Rain water served them when their
water cask went dry. The first two
days after drifting away from the
flaming Columbian they saw three
steamers, too far away to be signalled.

THE REBELS PLANS,

ing along the coast north of
Vera Cruz, may be sent on
short cut across country toward
the Mexican capital.
The greater part of the rebel
army under General Gonzales
will be sent forward from Tam

forces in a campaign against Sal

The latest report in Vera Cruz
about Huerta is that he has CON-
mitted suicide, but no more cred
ence is placed in 1t than in the
rumor that he has fed.
General Funston reported that
the San Francisco bridge, on the
Interoceanic Railroad, twenty
eight miles from Vera Cruz, had
been destroyed.
Another report from General
Funston stated that the Federal
commander, General Navarrete.

PRESIDENT STATES
HIS PEACE PLANS
Government In Mexico That Can
Meet Its Obligations.
HUERTA READY TO GET OUT
Their Plans Contemplate Elimination
OF Dictator's Party AIso--Wii-
son WeuId Treat All
Factions Fairly.

Washington, d. C.-President Will
son told the American commissioners
that the United States Government re-
CARDS the settlement of the Mexican
problem in definite form as pre-
requisite to the withdrawal of the
American forces from Vera Cruz.
The President gave the American
commissioners Justice Lamar, of the
Supreme Court of the United States;
Frederick w. Lehman, former Solici-
tor-General, and H. Perceval Dodge,
the secretary specific instructions.
He told them to place themselves in a
receptive mood and await proposals
from the three South American media
tors.
But at the same time he outlined to
his representatives that peace in Mex
lea seemed to him to be conditioned on
the elimination of the Huerta adj
ministration and the establishment in
its place of a strong provisional gov
eminent, which would conduct an cleo
ton. giving fair treatment to all fac
tons and parties and guaranteeing,
moreover. a solution Of the agrarian
problem and other internal difficulties
which have bred revolution in the
Southern republic during the last three
years.
The President wishes the Mexican
question settled on comprehensive
lines that will take into account the
economic principles for which Zapata,
in the South, as well as Carranza, in
the North, have been fighting, and will
at the same time conserve the right
full interests of the people in the ter
ritory now controlled by the Huerta
Government.
Huerta Ready To Go.
In the course of the day dispatch
came to one Of the foreign diplomats
here from a diplomatic source in Mex
leo regarded as thoroughly competent
stating that General Huerta was ready
to resign, and would permit his repre-
sentatives at the mediation to elimi-
nate him if it should become absolutely
necessary.
This dispatch confirmed intimations
that have come from the three Huerta
delegates since their visit to this coun-
try showed that they had realized
Huerta's elimination was regarded as
essential to q settlement and knew
from the phase of the problem their
efforts would be fruitless. The Huerta
delegates, too, it is learned from per-
sons who have talked with them, I'M
derstood thoroughly that the scope of
the mediation has been broadened be-
yond the difference which arose out Of
the arrest at Tampico Of American
bluejackets and now comprises the
entire Mexican problem.
