HUERTA OFFERS
OLIVE BRANCH IN
NOTE TO REBELS
Representatives of Dictator
Transmit Messages of Peace
Through Mediators.

NIAGARA FALLS. Ont, July =
Communication between the two
warning factions in Mexico which. II
is hoped, eventually viii lead TO con-
ferences for the establishments of
peace was begun today when the
delegation representing General Huer-
ia formally addressed to the three
South American mediators a note to
be submitted to the Constitutional
lists representatives in Washington.
In this the Huerta delegates express
their willingness to discuss measures
Of peace with the Constitutionalists
and bring TO an end the civil strife
which has been devastating their
country for the last year.
The Huerta delegation wrote in re-
sponse to a note from the mediators,
delivered to them as well as the Amer
lean delegation. suspending the ses-
sions of mediation because the inter-
national side of the controversy hod
been adjusted and calling attention TO
the correspondence with General Car
rama in which he asked for more time
to consult his subordinates about
peace conferences.
The Hperta delegates replied in two
separate communications, one setting
forth their own approval and grar1f1-
cation at the amicable settlement of
the international conflict and the
other. intended for transmission to
the Constitutionalists. explaining in
effect their readiness TO begin infor-
NAL conferences for the selection OF
a provisional president and the soiu-
ton of kindred problems of an In
ternal character.
The disposition of the American
forces now at Vera Cruz has been left
for consideration until such time as
the two factions agree on the neS-
provisional government. While the
protocols already signed cover many
phases of the international situa-
tion. ii Is generally recognized tina.
until a provisional government is ae-
tually agreed on and A date set for
recognition of the new government,
American troops will not be with
drawn and interna tional questions
not finally settled.
The mediation colony is disposed 10
regard the protocols thus far signed
as terms of peace. which represent an
agreement between the United States
and Mexico to resume diplomatic re-
lations upon the fulfllment of a
single condition-the establishment If
provisional government by agree
ment of the Mexican factions. It Is
being taken for granted that Gen
eral Carranza ultimately viii send
delegates. but no one ventures to
predict when.

colleagues probably would leave here

nera of Archdulxe Francis Ferdinand.
according to official announcement
here today. Rumor has it that the
discovery of widespread anarchist
plots in the Austrian city makes the
emperor fear fir his life.
The greatest surprise was felt here
when the announcement was made.
1t was officially stated that the can
collation. of the kaiser's plans for the
Austrian trip came as result of a
slight indisposition. The general
opinion here today was that only the
gravest reason could have prevented
the visit of the German emperor.

| Special TO the Evening Star.
/ wooDBRIDGE, July ?. Martin
| White. superintendent of maintenance
of way for the Public Service Rail-
way Company, and two foremen em-
ployed by the company. are held in
5000 bail by the Woodbridge township
police.
They are charged with digging up
q sidewalk without permission. The
men were arrested at daybreak to-
day. l.. D. Howard Gilmour. of the
company's legal department. hurried
here from Newark early today to ar
range for the mems release on bail.
They wiEiwaive examination and will
be held for the grand jury.
The men were engaged in connect
ing tracks through private right of
way with the tracks of the Railway
Perth Amboy line The connection
was being made near Sewaren.
When the constable ordered the
men to quit they refused They ad-
mitted they had no permission from
the town authorities, but said they
had permission from the State Public
Utility Commission. They continued
their work The foreman was ar
rested. Another foreman was sent
for. He came down from his home
in Jersey City, and he, too, was ar
rested. Mr. White sent in a hurried
call to the Public Service Corporation
offices today for legal aid and a
T, bondsman. Mr.. Gilmour was sent to
his aid.
The connection made was, part
of the direct high speed line between
Newark and Perth Amboy. The line
opens tomorrow at 6:15. At that time
| the first car will leave Newark and
run direct to Perth Amboy. The run
ming is about one hour
The Woodbridge authorities denied
the company permission to make the
connection. The connection runs from
Port Reading to Sewaren. The COM
pany appealed to the State board and
| permission was granted.
The reason that the line is being
| put into operation at such short no
| tice, is that the company has just
| been authorized to make the last con-
nection of tracks and is anxious to
| have the cars running for the holi-
| day. The company built the exIen-
sion from its main line, mostly over
private right of way including the
/ q
| trestle over the steam railroad tracks.
1t was prevented from making the
necessary connections with existing
| tracks at Sewaren and weeks were
lost in negotiations with the Wood
bridge authorities. Finally an appeal
was made to the State Board Of Pub
lie Utility Commissioners for permis-
sion to make the necessary connec-
tions. A hearing was made, briefs
were submitted and yesterday the
state board gave the required permis-
sion. All material for the work was
on hand and no time was lost In
rushing it II the junction point, and
force of men was set to work in
stalling the track so that everything
will be in readiness for the opening.
At the present time the trip 10
Newark cannot be made by trolley
without at least one change of cars,
and unless a close connection was
made the trip often involved tedious
DELAYS. With the new service
through cars may be had half hourly
during the day and the last car for
Perth Amboy win leave Newark at
11:1o p. m.

A Farmers Boy Wrote the National
Anthem.

Francis Scott Key, who wrote the national
anthem, was born and brought up on a farm.
The estate was called Terra Rubra" and was
located in Frederick County, Maryland. Since
then the counties have been divided and it is in
Carroll County. 1t was a tract of 1866 acres
and was patented in l752 to Phillip Key, the
grandsire of the poet. The house was built Of
bricks brought from England. On the estate
were many slaves, but when key became Of age
he gave all of them their freedom. This, Of
course, was long before the question of slavery
became an acute political issue. Key was one OF
the founders of the African Society which pro-
posed to return the negroes to Liberia. In 1860
he established at his home the first Sunday
School for slaves.
These are among the interesting facts that
are coming out in connection with the centen-
NAL Of the Star-Spangled Banner. Not only did
the farmers boys win the battles of the country
but they wrote much of it's poetry and music.
Baltimore is going to make the hundredth ami
versary of the writing of the ~Star-Spangled
Banner a great event. President Wilson, for
mer presidents Taft and Roosevelt, and most of
the big men of the country have accepted invi-
tations to be present. A week will be crowded
with wonderful psrades, pageants, regattas,
contests and social functions. The date will be
from Sept. 6 to Sept. 10. The Star-Spangled
Banner is now the national anthem both in the
army and the navy BY executive order. And a
bill before Congress makes it the national air
for the whole country.

How Can I Best Aid in the Edu-
cation Of Ny Children. By
Patience and Persistence.

AS the days grow longer and warmer
during the spring and early summer,
growing children, who require more
sleep and rest than grown people, nat
urally become somewhat languid and
often appear to be stupid. They are
not really sick, but do need more rest
and more sleep than they did during the
cold weather. Now is the time to test
the patience and love Of parents. When
the children become tired of school and
complain that the lessons r too long
and too hard, the parent must be pa
tient, but not over indulgent. Give the
children more time for sleep, relieve
them Of as many Of the home duties as
possible, and encourage them day after
day to persist in their school work.
Let them realize that you are deeply
concerned about their education and
that it is absolutely necessary for all
human beings to be persistent and IN.
firing in their efforts to become better
and stronger men and women. Be pa
tient and tender at all times, but also
be insistent, urging a prompt and reg
ular attendance at school, and q faith.
full and honest discharge Of all school
duties. If possible have a talk with
the teacher occasionally about your
children, and if you find that some of
them are being overworked. any
reasonable teacher will gladly tighten
the work as far as possible. The thing
to be done is to keep the children in
school, steadily at work, but not to
cause them to torn such 8 distaste for
school that they will never want to at
tend another. Let them come out at
the close of the school, feeling that
they have really accomplished some
thing, and with a keen desire to do
even more another year. The teacher
cannot do all this, but she needs your
assistance constantly. Willy you give it!

For the Living.

If you like a brother here
Tell him so;
If you hold his friendship dear,
All the roses that you spread
On his bier when he is dead
Are not worth one kind word said
Years ago.
You can help a brother now
If you will
Smooth the furrow from his brow
You can kill
The despair that's in his heart
With a word and ease its smart
So why stand you now apart,
Keeping still?
You can help a brother when
He is here;
He would hold your promise then
Very dear.
But assuredly you stay
And withhold what you would say
That would cheer him on his way
For his bier.
What, | wonder, if the dead
Saw and heard
What is done and what'is said
Afterward.
Would they utter in reply,
Would they smile and ask us why
When the time to help is nigh,
No one stirred?
Keep your roses for the living"
They would say.
Waste no time in praises giving
Us to-day;
Strew some living brothers. way so,
# you like another say 50,
For the thing that now you praise 50
Is but clay"

Remember my son. you have to work.
Whether yoa handle a pick or a pen, .

you must work. If YOU look around,
you will see that the men that are most
able to live the rest Of their days with
out work are the me- that worked the
hardest. Don't be afraid Of killing
yourself with work. It is beyond your
power to do that on the sunny side Of
thirty. They die sometimes but it is
because they quit work at 6 p. m. and
don't get home until 2 a. m. It's the
