Not on Good Terms.

1t was said by Carranza agents
that neither the Guatemalan nor the
Brazilian had been on good terms
with Carranza and that it had been
Carranza's intention to hand the Bra
lillian his passports as soon as he re-
occupied Mexico City. The participa
ton of Brazil and Guatemala in the
Pan-American conference, they said,
brought Carranzas resentment to a
climax.
State department advices said Gen.
eral Carranza is making hurried prep
arations to move his capital from
Vera Cruz to Mexico City. Archives
and clerks have been moving TO the
capital since Friday The impression
in Mexican circles here is that Car
rama proposes to establish himself in
Mexico City and probably proclaim
himself provisional president in the
face OF the Pan-American effort to
bring the factions together.
Secretary Lansing said he is con
sidering American representation i'm
Mexico City in view of the departure
OF the Brazilian minister. but he does
not know what will be done.
Secretary Lansing announced that
the Pan-American conference on Mex
lean affairs will be resumed in New
York city at p. m. Wednesday.

PHLADELPHIANS WILL
BRAVE OCEAN TRIP
Five Passengers, Including Ii
tanic Survivors, to Sail on
Philadelphia.

Che sinking ST the Busltania has failed
TO daunt fve Philadelphians who arc
among the saloon passengers of the
American liner Philadelphia, which sails
for Europe from this city flying the
American flag. Two of those determined
to risk the danger of a voyage are sur
vivors of the Titanic disaster whose mar
riage was the elimination of romance
which began when both were rescued
from the sea after the White Star catas-
trophe off Newfoundland. They are Mr..
and Mrs. Robert w. Daniel.
Mrs. Daniel formerly was Mrs. Eloise
Hughes Smith, who was returning from
her honeymoon with her husband. Lucien
Smith. The latter was drowned when
the Titanic went to the bottom of the
Atlantic. Later his son, Lucen Smith,
was born. Mr.. Daniel leaped into tn"
ocean with life preserver about his
waist when the big White Star liner
took her final plunge. He was subse-
quently picked up by the boat containing
the woman who is now his wife.
Other PhiladelphIans who declared this
morning they would not postpone their
trip are S. G. Folwell, Miss Jennie Green
and william Black.
Mr. Daniel declared this morning that
he would delay sailing, but business made
It necessary to go. In spite of the warn
ings which were published again in to-
days newspapers over the signature OF
the German Embassy. he believes the
fact that the Philadelphia flies the Amer
lean flag will be sufficient protection. He
declared he would prefer not to have his
wife accompany him, but said she would
not allow him to go alone.
Mr.. Daniel risked his life in London
shortly before engaging passage on the
ill-fated Titanic. He saved the life of
a friend when fire destroyed the Carlton
Hotel in the English metropolis. He met
Mrs. Daniel several times after the
Titanic disaster, and they were married
August IS. 1914 In New York. Mrs. Daniel

A Novel of Prohibition

the groundwork of THE Man Who For

g. Co. Garden City). A story illumi-
mated by the authors fancy rather than
created by his ina gInation, It reaches Its
dramatic climax In a picture of huge
procession OF prohibition advocates from
every state Of the Union, advancing on
tho National Capitol TO demand a pro-
hibition amendment to the Constitution
of the United States.
The story Is that OF John Smith, the
man whose zeal and domination make
possible this radical movement The
love interest Of the book Is not espe-
cially well handled. and its conclusion Is
obvious almost from the outset. "Chollie-
wollie," n newspaper man. who Is
friend and invaluable ally Of John Smith,
lives In the book with considerably more
vvidness than does the protagonist.
The temperance arguments are not the
least important part of the novel. Such
sentences as these Indicate the punch

The truth is that the Lusltania is the
safest boat on the sea. She is too fast
for any submarine. No German war ves-
sci can get TO her or near her. She will
reach Liverpool on schedule time just as
long as We are able to run her in the

Such remarks as these were repeated
among the passengers and they had the
effect of quieting the fears of some. But
there were many timid persons whose
fears could not be allayed by optimistic
speeches or cheering prophecies. They
were the ones who looked over the ships

faces.
