PAGE FAILED TO
DISPLAY 0. S. FLAG

London, June 27.-The American
ambassador, Dr.. Walter Hines Page,
came near to being charged with lack
of patriotism by the 700 American
Salvation Army delegates on their
official visit to him, but the misun-
derstanding was cleared by one OF
the embassy clerks.
The, Salvationists made an Ameri-
can patriotic display on this occa-
sion. as has been rarely seen in Lon
don. Bands, played American patri-
otic tunes, the American cOlors al
ternated with the Salvation Army
banners and each of the parad"rs
waved small American flag as they
marahed through Victoria street past
the window at which stood Dr. Page.
1Tne chief officers then paid formal
call on his excellency. But in the
matter of bunting. the embassy might
as well have been one of the big
shops alongside.
Where is the American flag?"
asked one of the officers in grieved
tone, OF one OF the clerks. Our
parade was simply ablaze with old
Glory and there isn't a single flag
displayed at the embassy to welcome
us. 1t doesn't look patriotic"
The clerk explained tnat the flag
of the embassy has purely ceremonial
duties to perform rather than ra-
triotic or ornamental. and is display
ed only on instructions from the state
department at Washington.
This explanation was passed
around and seemed to satisfy the pa
triotic scruples of the visitors.
!. On account of the comparatively
small quarters American diplomats
without large private means neces-
sarily maintain in foreign countries.
DR.. Page was unable to invite the
Salvationists to his home, and the
embassy itself is likewise cramped.
A reception in the street would have
lacked dignity. SO the delegates felt
n disappointment in not being able
| to shake hands with him. They had
been rather spoiled on their way
over they said. by Colonel Roosevelt.
who fraternized with them. stood In
snap shot groups and answered to the

ties. speak highly OF their courteous

VERA CRUZ, April 24.-1n
the event of a crisis, Huerta
has made all preparations for
flight. His plan is to declare
that he is leaving for the front.
With him he will have a small
body of soldiers known as the
battalion Of the supreme pow.
ers. He will elude these, &C
cording to his plan, and will
seek refuge on a japanese
cruiser at Manzanillo on the
Pacific coast.
The papers print what HUI

is that in arranging to escape,
the dictator will cause the pa
pers to print that there is
great danger from the rebels
on the Pacific coast and that it
is necessary for him to go to
the front. It is well known
that he has made most strenu-
GUS efforts to keep the road to-
ward thu Pacific clear of reb,
els. The report therefore will
be an untruth, but it will give
Huerta the necessary excuse
for leaving the capital.

DELAYS ARE DANGEROUS
IF UNCLE SAM IS TO WIN
| By John e. Nevin, United Press stafY
correspondent


correspondent
WASHINGTON, April 24.-"Mexico
City next" was the slogan today OF
the army and The navy. Heads of
both branches of the service believe
there is now no chance OF peace. They
are expecting momentarily a formal
declaration Of war from Huerta. They
are ready for such action.
Suggestions having the approval OF
the president and Secretary Bryan
that the United States will remain
quiet at Vera Cruz for time are dis
approved by men who know the actual
situation. They assert that unless
this nation acts promptly and rushes
an expedition to Mexico City our
forces at Vera Cruz will be decimated
by disease and constantly exposed to
attack from land. 1t Is believed the
president and his premier will be soon
convinced that energetic action alone
will prevent a long drawn out war.
The general staff of the army and
navy has told the president through
Secretarys Daniels and Garrison that
II the Mexican capital is seized and
the railroad between Vera Cruz and
the capital guarded, this country can
dictate its terms and assure restora-
ton of tranquility. But II action is
not immediate, the president has been
told, Huerta will be able to gather to
his support Iapata and his brigands
and large percentage of Carranza
and Villa men who will desert their
chiefs if they do not agree to figh.
the United States. Then the task OF
taking the capital will be very SER
ious one.
This question is being thoroughly
threshed out today by the president
lin conferences with his cabinet. Of
fciais If Huerta formall. declares
war. the action OF the United States
will be materially simplifed. There
will be no further hesitancy, but
all available troops will be hurried to
Vera Cruz and the selected concentra-
ton camps on the border. The war
spirit was rampant. in congress today
as the result of news of fighting at
Vera Cruz. The national Legislators
would WELD word formally to author
ize substituting war policy for re
prisals on Huerta."
The president and his advisers
while publicly paying attention only
to Huerta, are secretly keeping the
strictest of watches on the headquar-
ters of the constitutionalists. While
the professions Of Villa OF friendship
are accepted at their face value, the
war department: Is taking no chances.
