CONGRESS MAY COME.
TO AID OF TREASURY

Congress must come to the rescue OF
a lean Treasury, according to all in
dcations today. Despite the inclina-
ton OF officials to take an optimistic
view of the situation and to disparage
alarming rumors, the condition OF the
Treasury. as shown by its statements.
Is far from reasSuring.
A daily shortage in Treasury receipts
Of approximately 10000 since the be-
ginning OF the European war il shown.
The net balance in the Treasury gear
ago was sl47,0O,OO0 The balance today
is only S66, 900 900. or $1,000 900 less than
a year ago. During the last fiscal year
customs receipts alone fell of about
$50. 100000.

In opposition quarters the Underwood
tariff law is partly blamed for de

great European war In progress the inn
ports naturally have fallen off and that
no matter what tariff might be in ef-
feet revenues cannot keep up without
liberal imports.

US. AGENTS ACTING
TO OUT
OF MEXICAN CHAOS
Officials Say President Is Pre-.
pairing to Act, But Repre-.
sentatives Are Busy.

While Government officials are giving
1t out semi-confidentially that undoubt-
edly the President is going Ito act soon"
to restore order in Mexico, indications
today are that Administration agents
south of the border are already doing
the acting" leaving not much for the
future but a bald announcement Of what
they have done.
Their object. 1t Is said, is to get to-
gether leading representatives OF the
best of the civilian. class to constitute
a provisional government. and at the
same time to line up the military ele-
ments. as far as poscible, to support
this orga anization when 1t has been
placed on its feet.
General Villa Is understood to stand
ready to do this. subordinating himself
to the rank OF a military commander
under a civilian provisional govern
ments orders.
1t is understood an invitation will be
or already has been extended to General
Carranza to get similarly in line.
Its alignment having been perfected,
the Administrators plan Is said to be
to carry out its original program OF
cutting Oft military supplies from all
but the recognized faction and leaving
the latter to work out its own saliva
tion. Under the conditions named, 1t
Is believed, 1t would not be long in ac-
complishing its work.
The State Department was without
confirmation OF Havana stories that
Zapatistas are destroying foreigners
property and threatening a massacre in
all the territory between Vera Cruz and
Mexico City.

"STANDFOR WILSON"
IS ADVICE OF SIMS
stand by Wilson-that's all"

stand by Wilson-thats all!
This sums up the platform" Of Con-
gresham Thetus w. Sims. Of Tennes-
see. in his own language, 1 nreferring
to his candidacy for the United States
Senate to succeed Senator Luke Lea.
Under present conditions. 1t Is al
most unpatriotic to think Of nominat-
ing or electing as President any other
man than Woodrow Wilson, according
to Mr.. Sims views.
IF the present war lasts until the
next National Democratic Convention
convenes, the platform ought to be.
and hope it will be. the shortest ma
tional platform ever written" he con-
tinued. TT will be no time to load
the platform down either with glitter
Ing generalities, capable Of almost any
Kind of construction or misconstruc-
ton. or with a lot OF special planks
catering to local or sectional interests.
1t should contain nothing which is not
at that time urgently and emphatically
required and demanded by the then
existing national and international
conditions. 1t certainly ought to be
free o fall hobby horse demands.
Il think President Wilson ought to be
renomnated by acclamation by the
Democrats and that he should be ac-
cepted as the candidate OF all other po-
ltical parties. and elected by the unani-
nous vote of the electoral college, a.
was our immortal Washington. BY thus
unanimously re-electing Mr.. Wilson, we
Will demonstrate to all foreign nations
that. differ however much we may on
domestic questions, we are united as tO
our foreign policy. That when 1t comes
to a question Of the rights OF humanity
we stand as one man behind the Presi-
dent. even II unavoidable conflict with
some OF the mightiest nations OF the
world may follow
I'm view Of impending possibilities OF
the gravest nature. why can we not dc
as the warning nations of Europe have
done. and lay aside for the time being
all party differences respecting purcl!
domestic policies, and stand like a
stone wall behind the greatest living ex.
ponent OF true Americanism-Wood
Wilson. Speaking for myself. l intend
to do so. This is my platform.

President Denies He
Has Determined Steps
To Be Taken in Mexico

CORNISH. N. H., July 8.-President
Wilson today denied that any definite
steps had been determined by the Ad-
ministration regarding Mexico. He said
nothing would be done concerning the
turbulent republic south of the Rio
Grange before his return to Washing
ton.
Secretary OF State Lansing has not
sent the President any data concerning
Mexico since he last came here. Mono
is expected during his stay, which may
last a week or ten days.
The Presidents answers did not pre-
clude the possibility that some imme-
diate action may be taken In Mexico
when he returns to Washingtons But
they did make It positive that such
action has not been decided upon. Fur
ther developments are awaited. 1t is
believed.
GALVESTON. July 9.-Eight Mexi-
can naval ships, carrying 5000 troops.
have left Vera Cruz for Tampico. from
where they will be sent to San Luis
eral Obregon.
According to dispatches. Carranza Is
sending these re-enforcements with a
view Of crushing Villa at Torreon.
Villas and Obregon's armies are about
evenly matched. and Carranza thinks
that II he takes this Villa stronghold
the United States Government will no
longer withhold recognition.
Everything is In readiness for the
beginning of the battle. The railroad
from Tampico to San Luis Potosi has
been prepared. and these troops should
reach their destination this week.

MILE OF GRADING ON
ELECTRIC LINE DONE

Work has started on the extension
Of the electric line from Moline to
Santa Fe. Although the ground is
still unsettled, W. II. Smith, the sup
~erintendent of construction, has seven
teams and scrapers at work grading
the line. Almost a mile has been
grtded at the present time.
Mr.. Smith has his camp pitched on
w. W. Mundy's farm about a mile
north of Moline on the public road
and is ready for work in earnest as
soon as the weather settles. He will
secure the most Of his workmen and
teams around here but says he not
ready for any n at the present time.
The work he is now doing is prepar-
atory to the final grading before the
rails are laid.
All Of the farmers around Santa Fe
are looking forward to the complet-
ion and all express themselves as con-
fdent it will be done before summer is
over. One farmer said he expects to
ship out a lot of corn on it next fall.
Another group are figuring a rock
road out of Santa Fe, SO they can get
to the electric line in any kind of
weather and Dennis Field, of Paris,
has so much faith in the extension he
is arranging to open a lumber yard at
Santa Fe.

LONDON STARTS DRY
CAMPAIGN THIS YEAR

London, March 13.-The campaign
against drink and gambling here con-
tinues to arouse much interest. The
closing of public houses two and a half
hours earlier each night has already
resulted in a great diminution of the
criminal calendar, the particular
crime, murderous assault, having all
most completely disappeared. 1t is
commonly believed Kitchener has
strongly urged upon the cabinet the
desirability of further restricting the
sale of drink, particularly around
camps and public works. One section
of the government strongly supports
him. Certain difficulty has already
been found in enforcing to the full the
present shortened hours, much de-
peding upon the chief constables of
each town.
The police have begun a campaign
against night clubs, which have re-
opened widely in West London. Since
October they have been largely used
for gambling. Vice and occasionally
black-mail have done infinite harm to
young officers who come to London on
leave from trenches. One Belgravian
club was raided recently and a num-
Der of fashionably dressed women,
some in evening gowns and fur robes
were brought into court. 1t was
stated in court that the commissioner
of police had many complaints of
young officers being ruined in these
houses. The military authorities took
a very grave view Of this fashionable
gambling, now so rife in the metro
polls. Heavy fines were inflicted upon
the principals.
Hunter, the famous Tyneside ship
builder, declares prohibition would in
e the national efficiency and
probably increase the output of work
by 20 per cent.

MEXICO MERCHANT SAYS
IGNORANCE CAUSES II. c. or

A
The High Cost Of Living is due, to
a great degree, to the ignorance of
the housewife when she buys her
meat, according to F. A. Sannebeck,
a prominent Mexico merchant. Mr..
~Sannebeck says if the shopper under
stood that with the proper cooking
the cheap cuts Of meat would be just
as tender as the more expensive and
also contain as much if not more nu-
triton they would save quite a little
in their buying.
The Consumers League Of the City
Of New York teaches the housewife
all about the cuts of meat as well as
other matters of Importance in her
buying. 1t makes it possible for her
to e an entire carcass of a beef cut
up and each section explained not on
ly as to its nutritive value, but cost
and proper cooking.
Mr.. Sannebeck says the housewife
who will take the time to inform her
self regarding this feature of her buy
ing will make a surprising saving in
her meat bill. He suggested that it
should be a prominent feature in the
domestic science department of every
school.
