TO KEEP UP STEAM
On Transports to Carry Anoth- CT Brigade of Army to Vera
 Cruz.
United Press Telegram.

Qn1ted Press Telegram.
 Washington, D. C., May 4. - President Wilson and his advis- CTS are determined if the activ- ities of General Maas continue about Vera Cruz, that all ef- forts at mediation will be called off. While the administration believes that the demonstration at Vera Cruz is intended as a bluff, the United States stands ready to call the bluff with rifles, the army, marines and bluejack- cts.
 The mediators have been told that the continued participation of the United States in media ton negotiations depends en- tirely on the freedom of the A merican troops and Americans generally from any attack what soever by MeXicans.
 The general staff has now completed plans for reinforcing General Funtson if needed, at Vera Cruz, and transports now due at Galveston will be repro visioned and kept in readiness, with steam up, to transfer an- other brigade of the regular ar my to Vera Cruz.
 The president still hopes that more troops will not be needed, for he and Bryan think pressure placed on Huerta will influence him to prevent attacks upon Vera Cruz, but the general staff learned today that General Maas is constantly receiving rein forcements. One thing is cer- tain. It will not take much to start real trouble.
 The mediators continued today compiling initial proposals.
 The failure of Dr. Ryan, con- fidential agent of the State De- partment, to arrive at Mexico City has again caused apprehen-

HUERTA MUST HAVE WAR
 TO SAVE HIS OWN FACE.

TO SAVE HIS OWN FACE. United Press Dispatch.
 Vera Cruz, Mexico, May 4- Huerta is determined to draw the American troops into Mexi- co City in order to save himself from the rebel armies. This is the reason generally attributed here to the demand made by his forces for the surrender of the waterworks supplying Vera Cruz.
 It is also reported today that General Maas is preparing to attack the American troops about the city to make relations more acute. It is known that the delay of the Americans in any campaign against the cap- ital city has embarrassed Huerta and contributed to his failure to unite all Mexicans behind his standard and the intervention of the United States will even now prevent his elimination by the rebels under Carranza and Val la.
 The successor of Roias as sec retary of Foreign Affairs has not yet been selected. It is learned today that Rojas re- signed from the cabinet be- cause of Huerta's refusal to ab- dicate the presidency.

Collector Maer Thinks Mer. chants Should Get Their
 Goods Direct

Percy w Maer of Columbus, Miss. collector of the Alabama port at Mo bile, stated yesterday while a visitor to Birmingham. that for mutual benefit this city and Mobile should cooperate in the matter of importing and ex porting products. During his visit to Blrmip gham the collector will investi gate local conditions with the object in view of finding out just what ob- stacle prevents more general shipment of Birmingham goods and products through the Mobile port.
 There is every reason" said Mir. Maer why Birmingham merchants should order their products shipped di- rect to Birmingham. There Is gov errment agent in Birmingham who, on the arrival of the goods, would examine and collect the import duty. Ship ments not ordered direct are subject to investigation at ports of other states. This causes unnecessary and Irritating delay.
 If everything were equal, there is every reason to believe that all or BIT minpham's coal and iron would be ex- norted through Mobile. Birmingham's 5 sister city.
