Washington, D. C.-President Will
son accepted the proposal Of Argen-
tina, Brazil and Chile that they be al
lowed to mediate between the United
States and Mexico for the purpose OF
ending the present conflict.
President Wilson made clear in his
acceptance that the United States
would be ready, while the attempt for
peace was being made, to quickly meet
any armed force which Huerta might
see fit to use, or punish Immediately
any killing of American citizens in
Mexico.
Events in Mexico do not augur well
for the success of mediation, but the
President takes the position that the
United States can afford to take the
first step by showing its willingness to
do anything to prevent bloodshed,
while standing firm to the edict that
the insults to the American flag by
Huerta must be avenged.
During the move for peace the
United States will make no further
invasions of Mexican territory and will
hold to a tentative truce, unless forced
to the use of arms by Huerta.
No troops will be withdrawn, how
ever, and preparations for war will
continue. Orders to ships now pro-
ceeding south will not be changed and
officers of the Army and Navy, now
at the front, will be allowed to use
their own discretion in any situation
which may arise.
The mediators have several alterna-
tive plans. They wish to get COM
plete apology from Huerta for insults
to the American flag at Tampico or to
eliminate Huerta from the situation
entirely, or to bring the Constitutions
alists and Federals together and re-es-
tablish constitutional government in
Mexico, which would likewise elimi-
nate Huerta.
Official Washington is skeptical OF
mediation proving successful.
The Offer Of Mediation and President
Wilson's Acceptance.
The offer made by the three coun.
tries is as follows:
"Mr. Secretary of State:
with the purpose of subscribing the
interest of peace and civilization in
our continent in all confidence and
with the earnest desire to prevent any
further bloodshed to the prejudice OF
the cordially and union which have
always surrounded the relations of the
governments and the people of Amer.
lea, we, the plenipotentiaries of Brazil
Argentina and Chile, duly Authorized
hereto, have the honor to tender to
your Excellency's Government our
good offices for the peaceful and friend
ly settlement of the conflict between
the United States and Mexico.
This offer puts in due form the
suggestions which we have had occa.
sion to offer heretofore on this subject
to the Secretary, to whom we renew
the assurances of our highest and most
distinguished consideration.

ors of the National Association Op'
posed to Woman Suffrage held in New
York April 23, the following resolu
ton was unanimously adopted:

WIRELESS AID OFFERED.
Marconi Company Will Serve Natior

Washington, d. C.-The Marconi
Wireless Company has placed at the
disposal of the American Government
free service in preference over all
other business, which includes the
company's stations on the Atlantic and
Pacific Coasts and all Marconi equip
ped vessels in American waters for
relay purposes.
The citizen., 1914-05-01

Washington, D. C.-Spanish Am
bassador Riano received advices from
Mexico City stating that General
Huerta had accepted the offer of Ar
gentina, Brazil and Chile to use their
good Offices to bring about an amicable
settlement of the difficulty between the
United States and Mexico.
The interests of the Huerta Govern
ment in the United States were taken
up by the Spanish Embassy when
Charge d'Affaires Algara asked for his
passports and left Washington for
Canada.
Ambassador Riano received the offer
of good Offices from the three peace en-
voys after the offer had been accepted
on the part of the United States by
President Wilson. 1t was cabled at
once to the Spanish Minister at Mexico
City and by him presented to President
Huerta.
When the formal acceptance from
Mexico City is in hand the South
American diplomats will be ready to
proceed with their plan, no intima-
tion of the nature of which as yet
has been given.
1t has been generally understood
here, however, that the peace ENJOYS
expect to deal directly with the situa-
tion created by the resentment by the
United States Government against the
Tampico incident and other offenses
against its honor and dignity, hoping
to bring about a peaceful settlement.
Administration officials here appear
ed to be much gratified at the pros
pect of having the proposals of the
great South American republics lis
tened to by General Huerta. Until the
nature Of the plan is known, no officer
Of the Administration will have any
comment to make.

MEDIATION OFFERED
WILSON AND HUERTA ACCEPT
Brazil, Argentina, and Chile Will Try to Stop
War-President Wilson Agrees
Professionally.

"This Government feels bound in
candor to say that its diplomatic rela-
tions with Mexico being for the pres
ent severed it is not possible for 1t
to make sure of an uninterrupted op-
portunity to carry out the plan Of in
termediation which you propose. 1t is,
of course, possible that some act of ag-
gression on the part Of those who con-
troll the military forces of Mexico
might oblige the United States to act
to the upsetting of the hopes Of i'm
mediate peace, but this does not justify
us in hesitating to accept your gem
erous suggestion. We shall hope for
the best results within a brief time,
enough to relieve our anxiety lest most
ill-considered hostile demonstrations
should interrupt negotiations and dis
appoint our hopes of peace"

What Chautauqua
Means to Ashland

What has Chautauqua meant to us
to the city of Ashland? If we stop
and think a little we can conceive
some idea of the wondrous aid it has
been to the social development and
ideas of the community.
At the time when Rev. Smith es-
tablished the Chautauqua it was very
rare that any of the speakers and
entertainers came through this part
of the country, for at that time this
section Of the west was considered
by eastern people to be nothing short
of a wilderness. People had been
accustomed to hearing nothing but
their own ideas, for we were as an
isolated island. When the Chautau-
qua was introduced people here heard
for the first time accomplished musi-
clans, artists and lecturers. Their
minds had been living in a narrow
channel, hardly knowing what the
world was doing. Chautauqua imme-
diately set to work to broaden the
mind and introduce new ideas.
Speakers came here of whom before
they had only gained vague and
shapeless ideas. Now they could see
and learn.
When Chautauqua first started
and while Ashland was the metropolis
of the valley, people came from all
over southern Oregon to listen tC
those men and women of whom they
had heard so much. They would
come in farm wagons, prairie schoon-
ers, and establish camp somewhere
near town, usually up the canyon.
Think what it has meant to the
city of Ashland to have all these
broadening influences for so many
years. Let's keep it going by sup
porting it well.
