NATIONS PLAN TO
RECOGNIZE REBELS
BRITISH ADMIRAL'S CALL ON
GENERAL GONZALES THOUGHT
TO BE SIGNIFICANT.
Regarded as Possible That United
States May Recognize Rebel Gov
eminent, Feeling That Huerta
Government is Doomed.

Washington.-It seems to be the
opinion of the state department that
the action Of the British aImiral, Sir
Christopher cradock, and his entire
staff, in making a formal cali on the
constitutionalist general, Gonzales,
may be regarded as a recognition by
Great Britain of the belligerency OF
the constitutionalists A similar step
on the part of the United States is
expected, by some people, within 3
few days.
The failure of Huerta to explain
the fate of Consul Silliman, Core
spondent Doster and Private Parks
has brought about a situation so acute
that orders for the embarkation OF
more troops at Galveston for Vera
Cruz are expected at any moment.
The feeling in Washington is
strong that the president is about tc
address a communication to congress
on the subject.
The opinion of the administration is
that Huerta is in no position ito die.
A@tc lCihio W du9 DuuN. lie must gel
out and in getting out must sever his
connection entirely with the admins
tration of Mexico's affairs. The be
lief of the president and his mos
capable advisers is that Huerta will
hold on a little longer and that he
has already made his arrangements
to leave Mexico.
The loss of Tampico and Tuxpam
the latter being credited as reliabl(
news. makes it all the more useless
in the view of advisers of the presi
dent. for Huerta to endeavor to tenn
porizp by suggesting terms to tn,
United States.
The probable recognition by Great
Britain Of the belligerency of the con
stitutionalists is of great significance
particularly in view of the fact tina.
Greta Britain was one of the foreign
nations to recognize Huerta in tn,
nrst instance.

ENJOYS C0NCEOE
HUERTA IS DOOMED
REALIZE PRESENT ADMiNlSTRA-
TON is c~RUM6LiNG AND NEW
PRESIDENT MUST DE CHOSEN.
Are Most vitality Interested in Guar
antee Against the Possible confis-
cation of Property by the lnvad-
ing constitutionaIists.

W1ashington.=The peace delegates
from Mexico are confident of the sue
cess of their mission, which, 1t Is
learned, is the broad question OF pact
flying all of Mexico.
The three Mexican ENJOYS have lit
tie idea how long the arrangement OF
a settlement will keep them at Mag
ara Falls. but they are confident their
trip will not be in vain. The Mexican
delegates are said to realize that the
present administration in Mexico
City is fast crumbling and that the
choice of some one to succeed Huerta
is inevitable.
But %conceding the retirement of
Huerta, the delegates are said to be
most interested in the vital question
of what is to follow, what guarantees
are to be obtained against the posi-
BILE confiscation of property by the in.
vading constitutionalists, protection
against conditions of anarchy and
what kind of government will be
stable and will obtain worldwide rec
ognition.
On the other hand those close tc
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
asAert hat the question which is to b.,
mediated is no longer the failure o.
Huerta to salute, or the offenses com
mitted against the dignity OF the Unit
ed States, but the broad question Of
pacifying Mexico.
Persons close to the Mexican dele
gates emphasized that the three mer
who will represent the Huerta govern
ments are not Huertaistas or the rep
resentatives of any group of persons.
but are representatives of the best
interests of the people in the terri
tory controlled by the federals.
Although technically the delegates
are dealing with an international
questionable differences which arose
with the United States out of the
Tampico incident-priyately they ad
NIT that before them is the problem
of the actual pacification of Mexico.

COLORADO MUST
MAINTAIN PEACE
PRESIDENT NOTIFIES GOVERNOR
THAT FEDERAL TROOPS WILL
BE WITHDRAWN SOON.
Governor Ammons Expresses Conf
dence That as 500 as Funds Are
Available the State VIII be Able
to Control Situation.

Denyer.-President Wilson has
served notice on Governor Ammons
that the state OF Colorado must be
prepared to maintain peace in the
coal miners strike districts without
federal aid. The president said that
federals troops would remain I'm the
troubled districts only until the state
OF Colorado has time and opportunity
to resume complete sovereignty and
control"
Il cannot conceive that the state
Is 10 forego her sovereignty or tc
throw herself entirely upon the gov
eminent OF the United States" said
President Wilson.
In response Governor Ammons tele'
graphed the president on Saturday,
pointing out that an extra session Of
tho Legislature. just adjourned, had
provided a s1.0O0.000 bond issue to
cover past and future expenses OF
the state militia. The governor x
pressed confidence as soon as these
funds are available the state would
be able to control the situation.
The Colorado coal mine districts,
where approximately 5000 miners
have been on strike since September
% last. have been under a virtual
martial law for months and have
been guarded by United States cav.
airy for about three weeks. Previous
TO the arrival OF federal troops the
miners were guarded by the state
militia. IL was during the control
by the militia that riots and battles
between strikers and mine guards
broke out. After the militia and
strikers participated In the battle and

eminent details of the fate of Private

Vera Cruz, declaring that unless in.
formation about him was given i'm
mediately the American government
would consider that IAN unfriendly

in violation of the understanding for

President Wilson and Secretary

Brazilian minister in Mexico City
that Parks had been executed.
The American government cabled
the Brazilian minister to inform the
Huerta government of the strong
feeling of the United States, directine
him to make vigorous representation
concerning the incident.
The note asked the minister to pro
test to the Huerta government that il
Parks were alive the failure to ex

%unfriendly attitude, and that if tn,
soldier has been executed, as has beer
reported, such execution of a MAJ
who came into the Mexican lines il

procedure of civilized nations and az
act of hostility.

Wants Radical Change in Divorce Act

Denver.-S Sweeping changes in the
divorce laws of Colorado are a social
necessity and any movement to de-
crease the output of the divorce mill'
should take rank with other important
reforms, in the opinion of Judge Ira
c. Rothgerber of the County Court. In
the last sixteen months Judge Roth
gerber has presided at trials in which
500 divorce suits were. heard. In that
time he has found that four women to
one man seek the divorce courts as
remedy for matrimonial ailments;
that children are the tie that binds
and that out of five divorce appli,
cants an average of four are without
children; that IT is easier to get di-
vorce in Colorado than in any state
in the Union.
