GERMAN OPINION
Newspapers Give Different Ideas OF
Mexican Situation.


president Huerta's demand Is un-
disguised mockery Of the United
States" the Frankfurter Zeitung de-
clares. 1T goes without saying that
Washington cannot tolerate this. No
body can reproach President Wilson II
he now abandons his reserve and pro-
ceeds against Huerta with a blockade
and occupation Of MeXico's harbors."
Huertas refusal to salute the Unit
ed States flag the Boersen Couried
deems the first admission that ne
does not feel sure of his position and
is now playing his last trump earlier
than was expected-namely the policy
of rallying all elements in Mexico
against the foreign aggressor."
Indicating the attitude of the Ger
man government, the Cologne Gazette
states:
The German people have no reason
to oppose the course of the United
States with an unfriendly policy.
which, besides having no object, would
only injure relations with the United
States Recent developments in Mex
leo can only be regretted as far as
they affect German interests. If the
Americans now succeed in establish
ing order and peace in that country
there can be no objection from the
German standpoint. The American
people who have been kept in a state
of continued unrest by Mexican affairs
since the departure Of Gen. Porfirio
Diaz, earnestly want at least to see
peace established across their south
ern frontier and to see a government
there which will give security to the
country and not endanger the huge in
terests Of America in the Panama Ca
nal. President Huerta has sufficiently
shown that he does not answer to this
necessity, but prefers to act and to be
accounted as an enemy of the United
States. He knows President Wilson
will resort to force against him only in
the last extremity, and in that certain
ty has pursued a policy of opposition
to America"
The Deutsche TagesZeitung con-
demns President Wilson's long delay
and is uncertain whether he now in
tends to act or only to create an i'm
preston that he is about to act.
What will Japan, the natural enc
my of the United States, do and what
will the other powers do?" asks the
Taegliche Rundachau, which regards
President Wilson's policy as neither
one of realities nor one of idealism,
but of Democratic visionary theory

EAGLE REScUES INDIAN.
FIuttered With Human Burden From
Cliffs Dizzy Height.

The remains of an eagle, not only
the largest one ever killed in the
Rockies, but one which played an i'm
portant part in romance Of the Col
vile Indians many years ago, who have
half of the Colville reservation. The
bird, with a spread of seven feet, is
the property of Clair Hunt, allotting
agent for the Indians on the south
half Of the Colvillle reservation. The
eagle is credited by the Indians with
saving mans life and indirectly
causing q double murder.
About twenty years ago two young
Indians, twin brothers, fell in love
with the most beautiful and attrac-

valry existed for two years. Finally
one captured the prize, much to the
disappointment of the jealous broth

couple lived happily in a tepee in the

eagles nest was located.
One day the brothers went to the
cliff to secure eagle feathers. The
married one. being much the lighter,
