armistice. As has been said II Is be-
armistice IL Carranza does. In diplo-
matte circles IL IL thought that Car
ranza and his followers will not enter
into truce, but viii hold that they are
not bound 70 cease their successful
military operations In this event the
work Of mediation will be rendered
harder. probably futile.
Elimination Of Huerta.
No formal demand for the elimina-
ton OF Huerta has been made by the
administration in Washington. and II
Is, in fact, their desire to fend of such
demand by the submission OF some
plan which would in effect achieve that
end. but In a manner less offensive to
the de facto President OF Mexico.
That any or all negotiations for the
settlement OF Mexicos troubles must be
predicated on the American demand for
the elimination of Huerta is an abso-
lutte fact. The Secretary Of State has
taken occasion during the last few days
informally to make this perfectly clear.
not only to the mediators, but to Eu-
ropean diplomats as well. There is not
10 be the slightest recession from the
policy Of "Huerta must go!'
II is the hope OF the administration
that II Carranza Will enter into an
agreement 10 retire pending an election
Huerts himself will consent to a like
course. 1t is recognized in official cir
cles that the one great trouble about
eliminating Huerta is that Huerta has
never had a chance to save his face 1t
is now believed. or hoped. that Huerta,
pressed as he IS by the presence of
American forces in Vera Cruz and by
the advance of the rebels in the north,
will seize upon an opportunity TO get
cut gracefully.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1914-05-01
Attitude of Zapatistas.


There are. however, those who doubt
that Huerta will get out under any
circumstance. who expect him to de-
mand full recognition as the Pro-
visional President Of Mexico. and that
the American forces withdraw from
Vera Cruz. The news that Huerta has
secured the support of the Zapatistas
has an important bearing on the situa-
ton. II the Zapatistas have Joined
Huerta the dictator is again in posi-
ton to defy the United States.
The scheme of mediation may go on
the rocks from a refusal OF one or the
other Of the factions in Mexico to agree
TO an armistice, although that would
not necessarily nullify the efforts at
mediation The refusal is expected
more from Carranza than from Huerta,
although Huerta may not commit HIM
self until the CarranZistas have spoken.
And even If an ermistice is declared 1t
is not at all certain that either side will
observe il.
Pessimism anent the success Of
mediation is the dominating note I'm
diplomatic circles. Little faith is placed
in the acceptance of mediation "in prin- ,
ciple" by the two sides in Mexico. a
European diplomat pointed out TO The
Tribune correspondent to-day that in
diplomatic parlance acceptance OF a !
thing Sin principle" means that the /
thing itself is rejected.
Pressure on Huerta.
While Europe has refused TO ask .
President Wilson TO recede from his /

some nations are doing valuable work .
IN Mexico City in the direction of H.
ducing Huerta TO assume a more rea- /
sonable attitude. Representations have .
been made by the diplomatic agents Of
England. France and Germany, ut .
least. They have urged Huerta to ac-
cept mediation and to agree TO an ar
mistice.
Secretary Bryan personally announced
to-day that the United States had
agreed TO the armistice. He said that
he had informed the mediators that
this country would start no hostili-
ties during the mediation. This is
strictly in accord with American policy,
hut it is still irritating TO army officers
that the American army should be held
inactive in its work of preparation,
while Buerta, who may yet be an
enemy in arms. has complete freedom
OF action.
he did not know how soon it would he
known whether the mediation was sue
cessful or no.. Many officials look for

n decision would be reached soon. At
the White House the President to-day
expressed TO callers great hope OF
successful outcome Of the mediation.
Spreading Mediation News.
Every effort is being made to spread
the news OF mediation through Mexico.
The Secretary of the Navy to-day sent
instructions TO naval officers in Mexi-
can waters to inform the people that
both Carranza and Huerta had agreed
10 mediate. 1t is hoped that this will
bring lull in hostilities while Federals
and rebels await the outcome This is
particularly true with reference TO the
Tampico oil districts. which are in dan
ger so long as the fighting there con-
tinues.
Mr.. Bryan also announced that the
governments OF Nicaragua. Honduras
and Cuba had sent mess ges approving

PETERSBURG MEMBER OF HOUSE
THINKS CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT NEEDED.

PETERSBURG, VA, Jan. A.
Robert w. Price. member-elect OF thu
house of delegates from Petersburg. IS
in receipt Of letter from Attorney
General williams In reply to a letter
addressed him by Mr.. Price a few days
ago asking his opinion as to the con-
stittAionality OF bill which Mr.. Price
had contemplated introducing at the
next session of the legislature to re-
lieve the governor OF Virginia of the
responsibility Of passing upon all APP
plications for pardons by having a
pardon board to assume this duty,
which is now entirely In the power of
the chief executive.
Mr. Williams wrote Mr.. Price at
length on the subject and, while he
did not commit himself to q positive
opinion as to- the constitutionality of
the proposed measure, Mr.. Price Is
convinced that the power to pardon
cannot be taken from the governor
except by constitutional amendment.
1t is probable that Mr.. Price will pro-
pose resolution to amend the con-
stitution In this respect.
/. The Petersburg representative has
not made up his mind as To which
candidate for the speakership of the
house of delegates he will support.
Friends of Mr.. Cox and of Mr.. White
both have been besieging him with
their attentions, but Mr.. Price is not
in a hurry to reach a decision in the
matter.

stock, compared with 6,s per cent for

And on n pinch maintenance appropria-

From the foregoing II Is fair to as
sumo that Chesapeake and Ohio's di-

hoping that the per cent dividend
rate can be maintained until the cor

will depend on the trend of general

the heart and conduct of the peo-
pie. 1t is not the statements them
selves but the truths which count, and
methods adaptable to the age must
be adopted. Hold on to the old truths
but place them before the people in
terms of the thinking men of the pres
ent day" admonished the minister.
DR.. Young said that lack of reality
in the tone of sermons accounted for
grip on man and to become part
of his life.
Want Preachers Opinions

statements from the man in the pull

He stated that the question is fire.
quently raised whether the Church is
not more concerned with the saving
of a mans soul for heaven rather than
with preparing II for honest business
fellow men. In connection with this
1t lis often said that the Church is
chiefly concerned with it's own affairs,
it's comforts. and its order of service
| and remains oblivious to the social and
industrial problems of the day.
These are criticisms which are often
true, said DR.. Young. and he advised
mat the CnuTch get closer 10 human
needs and be more social SO as to
touch the real actualities Of life.
Like Soldiers ON Dress Parade.
Present day Bible classes remind
me of soldiers on dress parade, he
i, declared. They are busy Interpreting
Biblical passages when they should be
out administering to the social needs
of the city, working for the elimina-
ton of the sin and shame, AS they
| stand they are for themselves alone;
they have done nothing"
The minister stated that while the
Church as an institution generally was
one of the last to become a party to
a new movement, the social workers
who are leaders got their training and
their ideals In the Church, so that
indirectly. the Church was generally
actively connected with them.
He closed his sermon by laying
down several rules which prohibited
the withholding Of truth when II
should be spoken, of not making pre-
sensations Just because they pleased.
and Of a pastors not seeking popu-
larity for his own sake at the ex-
pense of real needs of truth. He con-
cluded by saying that he believed the
Church was progressing in the way
it should go and that it was seeking
to fulfil Its mission.
