Washington, May 5.-Developments
In the Mexican situation to-day were
divided between the diplomatic and the
military status.
The South American mediators con-
tinued their sessions throughout the
day and for the first time it became
authoritatively known from them that
they considered the whole range of
Mexican affairs as properly embraced
in their work. Their reply to Car
rama had made this clear, and while
eliminating him from the mediation
for the time being. it still left the door
open to him to come into the proceed
inEs later.
At the war department it became clear
that the status quo at Vera Cruz would
be maintained. with no advance Of the
American forces unless to repel attacks.
But it was known that a definite course
of action had been outlined in the event
OF a resumption of hostilties at Vera
Cruz and the extension of the campaign
toward Mexico City. In that event
Najor-Gen. Leonard Wood will be in SUI
preme command, with General Funston
directing the advance beyond Vera Cruz,
and Gen. Charles j. Bailey of the coast
artillery assuming command of the base
at Vera Cruz This arrangement, how
ever, is wholly in the line of prepared
ness and signifies no present purpose Of
being put into operation.
CONGRESS HEARD FROM
Congress, after a considera BILE period OF
silence on Mexico. again came into the
situation. In the Senate Senator Lippitt
of Rhode Island introduced a resolution
calling on President Wilson for informa =
ton as to published reports that it was
the administrators purpose to aid Cen
eral Villa to secure the presidency. Dur
Ing a brief but spirited discussion, Sena-
tor Lodge read from London paper a
scathing denunciation Of Villa. The LIP
pitt resolution went over until tomorrow
under the Senate rules.
President Wilson and his cabinet held
the regular Tuesday meeting, but it was
announced afterwards that only routine
matters had been considered.
The sessions of the medators con.
tinued through the day with the three
Huerta delegates now named and un-
derstood to be on the way and the
United States delegates not Yet desig
mated. The destination of the Huerta
delegates was not clear. 1t became

.SNAPPY DRILL FOR
THE ARMY TEAM
Navy Coaches Undecided
as to Three Positions

West Point. *. Y, Nov. 1.-THE
Army football squad had q snappy
drill to-day. The men were out for
two hours, although there was no
scrimmage, and in all probability there
~. be none before the team starts for
Philadelphia on Friday.
The coaches sent the men through a
LOT of preliminary work to-day, q long
kicking drill being followed by sharp
and fast signal practice. The work
out ended with stiff session az the
blocking and tacklug dummies, which
had been dug out Of the snow banks
during the day. To-day's practice was
held on the upper field. IN the vicinity
of the hotel, the regular playing field
still being n poor condition The
footing was -roachcrous.
Hodgsou. around whom many Of the
cadets new plays are being built,
showed good form. as did Captain
Prchard and Ncrrllat The latter's
work with the forward pass was es-
pecially noteworthy. Oiphant, Nc
Evan and OHare were only iu for %
part of the drill to-day Benedict, Van
Fleet and HodgsOn again made mp the
regular backield in the signal drill.
Olphant got a chance 10 quarter for a
while. and If Captain Prichard Us I'M

FOOTBALL REVIVAL
AT COLUMBIA
Big Crowd Sees Upper and
Lower ClaSSmen Battle
10 SCOreleSS Tie.
By BRIGGS

Football reappeared on the Column
bia gridiron on Morningside Heights
yesterday after a lapse of four years,
and although the revival game, played
by picked elevens from the upper and
under classes, was not Of even me-
diocre quality, the spirit aroused
among the undergraduates and the
general football atmosphere created
spoke well for the restoration of the
game as a varsity sport.
The contest, such as 70 was, was a
drawn battle, neither side being able
Co score The periods were cut down
10 eight minutes each. and that Of
itself made the time for score little
enough. Each team advanced 70
within five yards of the others goal,
but neither could 20 further, though
the upper class men did get one chance
20 score by a kick from placement
from the l5-yard line. The kick was
wide.
But the real object of the game. the
sounding of the depth Of football en-
thusiasm on Morningside Heights. was
achieved, and if the university au-
thorlties can be induced to look on the
demand for the return of the game
terest there is little doubt that Column
bia will have varsity eleven, certain
ly by 1918
More than twenty-five hundred UNI
dergraduates gathered on South Field
for the contest and made a crowd un-
surpassed even by the commencement
day gatherings at baseball games on
the same field Dean +. p. Keppel was
the only university officer in sight
when the game began. but he viewed
the contest, he said, more because II
gave him an excuse 10 smoke his pipe
outdoors than from any great love for
football The dean. It is understood.
has let it be known that Columbia
without football is entirely satisfac-
tory 10 him.
There was plenty Of evidence that
the game itself was only part Of a Sc
rious attempt by the student board 20
reopen the entire football question at
Columbia The plans for the contest
were well carried out. and the result
was more than satisfactory 20 the
board. which. it is said. will begin I'M
mediately the formulation of petit
ton asking for the restoration of
football for next year.
One conspicuous feature of the
game was the entire absence of inter
ference by the University Athletic As
ISOLATION. This has been taken 20
mean that the athletic powers do not
see the value of reopening the ques-
tion at this time. 1t also has been
said that the athletic association is 40
unprogressive that it does not want
