WASHINGTON, ID. c., April ~
Secretary Bryan conferred with Pres
ident Wilson for nearly an hour this
afternoon over the Mexican situation.
The secretary stated that the State
Department had received nothing Of
ficially regarding Huertas accept
an1e Of the mediation proposals. Con-
sequently, the secretary said, they
did not yet know what conditions. If
any, Huerta had attached to his
answer to the proposed mediators.
The secretary said he hoped all
Americans would be out of Mexico
City not later than tomorrow. The
British naval officers who have pro-
ceeded to the capital, have secured a
promise from Huerta that all Amer
leans and such other foreigners as
wish to flee the capital, will be sent
forward to Vera Cruz as rapidly as
trains can be supplied. The secre-
tary said that he was trying hard to
get information regarding the fate of
Americans taken off the various
trains and put under arrest, but 50
far without success.
Our information today is negative
more than positive" said the secre-
tary. "But we are getting all Ameri-
cans to safety during this lull. We
have not yet had any confirmation OF
the reports that Americans have been
killed at a number Of points and we
are hopeful that none Of these re-
ports ever will be confirmed"

The Rev. w. f. Poole declared that
while he had never supported Mr.. Bryan
he thought that President Wilson and
the Secretary Of State had as much
conscience about the matter as he has
He said the United States had used
the salute to the flag as a mere chip
on the shoulder and back Of the whole
matter was Huerta and a deal with
Japan. He said he was against war,
but he thought it was necessary to show
a neighbor how to clean up q dirty
backyard and this is what the United
States is doing in Mexico though IL
could have been approached in differ
ent way.
'No one believes for moment that
the failure to salute the flag was the
real cause of the war" said Mr.. Alder
son. Everybody knows that it was
not the real reason. but this is the

say that we did not have cause for

He declared he wanted to go on
record as thinking the government
4 had cause of war, and he thought Il
unfortunate that such speeches
should be made against the facts in
/ Mexico. He declared that no other
country could come to Mexico, be-
cause of the Monroe Doctrine, and
this country did not say
who should be president of Mexico.
but simply that the Mexican people
should have a constitutional press

DR. Reed replied that he did not
say the United States did not have
cause for war, but that the real cause
for war had not been stated.
DR.. Collins declared that besides
the defense of the nation as a cause
OF war he thought nation is justi-
fled In going to war to protect the
weak from the strong. This. he said
was done in Cuba, but there was no
such an excuse In this crisis. He de-
olared the American people are say

Instead of being received in q

"Closer investigation, however,
proved that the string was really a

at the other end (not silver, but
nickel plated) was kept comfortably
warm by current of electricity
passing through it.
