Asserted Conference VIII
Not Interrupt Their Mil
itary Campaign.
CARRANZA MAN TALKS
Meeting to Discuss Mediation
Proposals Not to Be Held
at Niagara Falls.

Washington, D. c., June 26. - The
constitutionalists are determined to
carry their military campaign to a
conclusion regardless of participation
in informal mediation conferences de-
sired by the United States. Their plan
was indicated today upon the arrival
of Alfredo Breceda, private secretary
to Carranza, here to confer with the
Washington agents of the constitution
alists. AS to prospects of partcipa-
ton of the rebels in an informal con-
ference, Breceda frankly stated he had
no definite knowledge.
Niagara Falls, Ont, June 26.-It is
practically certain that the informal
conference Of the Huerta and Car
rama delegates, at which there is hope
a new provisional president of Mexico
will be chosen and arrangements made
for cessation of hostilities, will not
take place here. The constitutionalists
are said to be desirous to have the
conference kept from mediation at
mosphere
Solution in Another Week7
One of those men prominently con-
nected with the conference said today
that in his opinion the entire Mexican
problem would be solved within an
other week. The constitutionalist del
egates are expected tomorrow or not
later than Sunday. 1t is believed that
they will remain in Buffalo and that
the Huerta- delegates will go there to
confer with them.
The constitutionalst delegates who
have been selected for this conference
are Luis Cabrera and Rafael Zubaran
Capmany. Those are the two men
who went to Buffalo about a week ago
to confer with Justice Lamar and Fred
erick w. Lehman, the American dele
gates to the mediation conference.
The representatives of both of the
contending factions in Mexico will
discuss the provisional government
which is to assume control of the af-
fairs of Mexico pending the holding of
a constitutional election. There are
good reasons to believe that a prompt
agreement will be reached by this con-
ference. Names already have been
mentioned and discussed on both sides,
and inasmuch as both appear to be
willing to make concessions it was pre-
1icted last night that within two weeks
4 provisional government for Mexico
will have been proclaimed and recog-
aized by the United States.
Would Be Victory for ENJOYS.
That such an outcome would be a
decisive triumph for the A. B. c. medi-
itors no one here denies. 1t is gener-
lily believed that the credit for the
ictual suggestion of the plan which is
low being carried out belongs to Min
ster Naon of Argentina. He it was, it
S said, who first conceived the scheme
md induced all sides to accept it af-
er his conference with President Will
on in Washington a few days ago.
DR.. Naon, it is understood, had no
rouble in convincing Mr. Wilson of
he sound logic of his argument, and
aving thus obtained the approval of
he president for his plan, he expert
need little difficulty in convincing
.uis Cabrera in the conference he
ad with the constitutionalist agent at
he Argentine legation in Washington.

BOGUS ARGUMENT.

From Noah down, men have used
and abused intoxicants, but that sig
nifes nothing whatever. From Noah
down, men have done all sorts of fool
things, and as to some of the things
have gradually learned that they were
follies and so %eschewed them. George
Washington drank rum before break
fast, There is no more reason for
sticking to Georges rum than for cup
ping and bleeding patients for every
Illness. That normal human nature
does not need alcohol we know from
the millions OF men and women who
do without it-and female human ma.
ture has always been able to subsist
without getting drunk. The histori-
cal argument is bogus. The moder-
ate drinker need not be considered
at all; for IL a man is truly a moder.
ate drinker, alcohol is Of such slight
account to him that its presence or
absence can make no difference

EXPLAINED BY GREAT MAN
Bismarck Gave a Lucid Explanation
Of the Diplomatic Phrase,
Entente Cordiale.

In the newspapers of today we
very often find the words 'entente
cordiale." Most readers understand
the meaning of the expression, but
it is rather difficult to make a trans
lation that expresses the exact mean
ing of the original French, says the
Youths Companion. Prince Bis
marck gave a good explanation when
his daughter asked him what the en-
tente cordiale really was.
"Well," he said, at is not so easy
to define literally. 1t means a cor
dial understanding, but it also has a
little different significance. For eJ-
ample: You were in the courtyard
this morning when | came from the
garden with Nero; Diana was in the
yard, gnawing a large bone. My
Nero saw her, and ran to seize the
bone. Then there was a little fight,
until l struck them a few sharp
blows with my cane. After that the
bone lay in the middle of the court,
while both dogs stood off at some
distance and looked eagerly at it,.
Each dog, in fact, was as anxious to
keep the other away as he was afraid
of my cane, and, therefore, neither
ventured to seize it. You see, that
is what they call in diplomatic circles
an entente cordiale."

AEa5s2NOTES
GEEG&
NOT ALL BEER ADVOCATES.

From address by Miss Anna A. Cor
don, president of the National w. c. T..
o., before the senate judiciary subcom-
mittee, May -
One of the speakers at the hearing
on April 20 stated that all Germans
are drinkers. We are sorry our Ger
man friends do not know that many
hundreds of German women in this
country are members of the Woman's
Christian Temperance union, and in
Germany we have a splendid following
OF thousands of total abstainers, band
ed together in a national society of alb
staining women of Germany affiliated
with the Worlds Woman's Christian
Temperance union, The whiteribbon-
ers Of Germany have for their presi-
dent the great-grandniece of the gal
liant Gen. Won Butcher, who led the
allied forces with Wellington in the
famous battle of Waterloo.
We are surprised that our German
friends did not allude to the most con
spicuous figure in the fatherland, EN-
peror Wilhelm, whose good advice to
the naval cadets 10 let alcohol alone
has everywhere been noted and COM
mended. Evidently the kaiser believes
as we do, that the naval defenders Of
a great country must be total abstain
ers If they are to reach the necessary
degree Of efficiency IN service.
The gentleman also asserted that
Won Moltke was a drinker. We know
that he a a total abstainer. Won
Moltke said. Beer is far more danger
GUS to Germany than all the armies
Of France" Our German friends
claimed that beer has great food value.
Germany's famous chemist and SCI
enlist, Liebig, many years ago de-
clared There is more nOurishment In
the amount of flour that can be held
on the blade Of a knife than there is
In a quart of the best Bayarian beer.
All Germans do not agree with the
speaker that beer should not be
classed with alcoholic liquors. 1T is
Just this precious beer" writes DIT.
Max Gruber, president of the Royal
Institute Of Hygiene at Munich,
which lowers the intellectual capacity
and willpower of thousands and thou
sands Of people and makes them old
before their time, ruins stomach, liver,
heart, and brain; brings them into the
poorhouse and prison, hospital and
asylum, and early puts them under
the earth"
