Short cabinet Meeting.

| WASHINGTON, May 5.-For the
first time since the Mexican situation
became acute, the cabinet held a very
brief session today. The president
and his advisers were together less
than an hour. It was stated that only
| very few moment were devoted 20
the consideration of Mexico. Secre-
tary Bryan reported results Of con-
! ferences with the mediators today,
and It was agreed that for the pres
emit at least all this government can
do is to mark time" and await de-
velopments.
On leaving the cabinet meeting,
Secretary Daniels said that 1t was
certain President Wilson would go to
New York to participate in the tuner
al honors to the heroes Of Vera Cruz
next Monday. The secretary said
that it was not his plan to make pub
the Montana until he had an oppor-
tunity 20 confer with New York Of
fcials. Rumors that Admiral Mayo
has limited that It would be advisable
to take Tampico are believed to have
had their origin in statements made
by him that 1t would be easy for the
navy to take that port.
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels was
at loss today to account for reported
rebel threats 20 destroy Tampico in
an oil fire, provided our vessels en-
ter the river. He said that the threat
had never been communicated to him
and that the vessels were under
orders to remain IN the roadstead
TWO miles OF the city. He declared
that their only purpose there was tc
assist in landing refugees although he
admitted that there are scracely any
refugees in the vicinity. The secre
tary was angered by published reports
lof navy restlessness. He Eel. 1t ar
insult to his fighting men to brand
them with stories of seeking war Il
gain promotion.
They are ready to fight II needed,
he said, but their primary duty is t.
preserve peace. The stories that the!
are anxious for war are Just as baf
as stories that they would refuse tx
| enter war II duty demanded.
Strict orders against clearing or en-
tering any vessel to or from American
ports at Tuxpam has been ordered b,
the territorial minister, according tt
advices of Admiral Badger to the nav;
department today. He reported alsc
. his understanding that the order at
J fects all other ports in the state O
Vera Cruz.
The steamer Camagueri reports thu
: federals reinforced by 1900 men a

GuardIna PumpInq statIon.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Guarding
against possible further demands OF
Mexicans of the Vera Cruz pumping
station, General Funston has taken
steps for its defense. He notified
Secretary Garrison today that he has
strengthened the guard without ex-
tending the lines. This move, the
secretary said. did not result. from
second demend for surrender, in fact
he reiterated most smphatically that
Funston had not reported such de-
mand-or anything even remotely re-
sembling 1t.
F'unston's latest message received
during the night reported no changed
situation. The general simply de-
clared he had visited the pumping
station yesterday and was planning
Its proper defense. Secretary Garri-
son was silent when asked whether
General Funston was planning to
press on to Mexico City. In other
quarters however. this repor. was
discredited by reasons Of this coun-
try's agreement to suspend hostilities
unless provoked by Mexican attacks.

value during the past year. On
January l, 1914, the herd num-
bered 100000, compared
with 148, 100000 head a year ago.
The bulk Of the nations de-
creased meat supply is in the
swine herd. Compared with
last year the number of hogs in
the United States has diminish
ed 2,1S5,O00 head; cattle $4,000
head and sheep, 100000 head
The major portion of the in
creased values is credited to the

shows an increase of S166,6S8,,
600; swine have gained S9,842,O0C

if we we're running a revival

every community needs life food,
cleanliness and exercise to make
their boys and girls ideal men

allowing whimsical ideas to
creep in and throttle down the
best interest of our community.
They believe il our boys and
girls attaining the truth and
serving their countryis the no.

because it gives them something
to build tor, something upon
which to fix their hopes, their
aspirations. They too realize THE
