veIoped as rapidly and as substan-
tally as the FL Paso southwest It
is Of the utmost Importance that
the public should have at its service
a sheet-metal plant equipped for

been steadily extended until at the
present time il enjoys a profitable
5obbing trade throughout New Mex
leo. Arizona md West Texas The
plant is large and mOdernly
equipped in every particular, and
the scale upon which It operates
may be suggested by the statement
that a force Of more than score
OF experienced men are given con-
slant employment.

TO CONSIDER PEACE
ONLY AFTER HONOR
French Premier Says Nation Owes il
to Herself and History to Crush
German Milit~r,sn..

Paris, April 14.-Five thousand
wounded soldiers and a thousand
nurses were treated today at Troca-
dero to gala performance, such as
usually is reserved for royal visitors
to the place. In addition Previer
Viviani delivered a notable address
in which he declared that France
purposed continuing the war until
militarism was crushed and Europe
liberated.
1T was at the end of the perform.
ance that Premier Viviani delivered
his address. He said:
why have all these heroes given
more than their life in an heroic ar
dor of which modesty heightens the
grandeur? They know that their
sacrifices are anohymous-that if
they fall their death will he unknown
and they know that life is not the
supreme heritage-that the supreme
heritage is honor and independence.
1t is gratitude for such services and
sacrifices that the nation attached
itself more strongly to the combat
ants-captive and dead.
France is ready for every sacri-
flee. So long as she must fight she
VIII fight. She will consider, with
her allies, the eventuality of peace
only after having repulsed the ag-
gressor from Belgian territory and
restored her own integrity, the ter
ritorial unity broken in the common
effort to crush militarism and liber-
ate Europe.
That she owes to her history, to
her past, to her honor. will add
that she owes It also to those of her
children who are bleeding, dying and
who think, indeed, it is not at the
foot of hectatomb that precious
peace can spring"

Such Action is Evidence That a
Hard Fight is Expected on
This Matter.
COMES UP TODAY IN
SUPREME COURT.
Many Prominent Officials May Have
to Take the Stand-WilIiams
Expresses Willingness.

Washington, April 15.-Further
evidence that the government ex-
poets to have a hard fight on it's
hands in the injunction proceedings
brought by the Riggs National Bank
against Secretary McAdoo and Conn
troller of the Currency Williams was
given today when government coun-
sci announced that postponement
would be sought when the case comes
up tomorrow in the district supreme
court
Louis ID. Brandeis, special assist
ant attorney general in charge of the
case, was not prepared to tell tonight
just how much time he would ask
from the court. 1t was indicated.
however, that he would seek con-
tinuance for at least week.
Mr.. Brandeis was unwilling to dis
cuss the case. 1t was believed. how
yer, that the fact that a postpone
ment will be sought shows the gov
ernment does not expect to make it's
main plea again the jurisdiction of
ne court, but will seek to answer the
legations set forth in the banks bill
Of complaint, which charged Messrs.
McAdoo and Williams with conspiracy
to wreck it and with long persecu-
ion.
| If that proves to be the case. il is
'ssible the court will ask for Light
F! outside that furnished in the bill and
the answer and the arguments OF
lawyers. That is what those who are
following every move in the case are
IN tiptoe to hear. The witness chair
'robably will be occupied by most OF
the bank officials and some Of the
most prominent men in official life.
At one time or another most of the
present treasury officials have had
! knowledge of the interchanges be-
| tween Mr.. Williams and the Riggs
bank. Mr.. Williams has expressed a
Willingness to go on the stand if ask
to do so, and If counsel advises it.
Although Secretary McAdoo is still
onfined to his home, recovering from
operation, no one in official life
'!oubts his willingness to appear in
case If it reaches the stage where
testimony is taken.

Didn't KILL MADERO
SAYS HUERTA
Former Dictator Says Ke Knows
= Who is Responsible But Will
Keep Silent.
HE REVIEWS THE
MEXICAN MUDDLE
States the Washington Government
Had Been Misled and Was Not
Fair to Mexico.

New York, April 15.-Asserting
that he had nothing to do with the
death of Francisco Madero, General
Victoriano Huerta, former provision
al president of Mexico, issued a
lengthy statement tonight setting
forth what he termed his side of the
Mexican question.
General Huerta declared he knew
who was responsible for Madero' q
\ death but he was keeping it as a
professional secret.
General Huerta's statement re-
viewed the history Of the Madero rev
olution, his own accession to the pro-
visional presidency and concluded
18th the assertion that "my country
cannot be conquered"
Sixteen millions of men, women
and children would have to be killed
before Mexico would submit to an in
vader, Huerta asserted.
The heads of the Washington ad-
ministration, Huerta declared, had
not been fair to Mexico; had been
misled by false statements, and If
they had been In Mexico for thirty
days "they would have changed their
minds about the situation. Had
it not been for the embargo on the
expectation of arms from this coun-
try, General Huerta indicated that
bis army would have prevailed over
those opposed to it.
The former provisional president
reiterated the assertion that he had
resigned from his position only be-
cause he hoped to bring peace to his
country. He pointed out that in the
eight months elapsed since that date
the situation in Mexico had become
too sad for me to analyze deeply"
Anarchy is too soft a word to call
it," he said. Mexico eventually will
be saved, but by a Mexican, he said.
Who that would be he did not know.
Huerta declined to give an irkling
as to his future movements. He de-
MED that he would go to any point
near the Mexican border. Discussing
the death of Madero, he said:
THAT is a professional secret.
Lawyers have secrets, doctors have
secrets-I am a soldier-why should
lot a soldier have secrets? 1t is not
through friendship for any one that
am Withholding the information. 1t
is professional duty. The time will
ron come when my name will be
vindicated, and. as General Lee said
to General Jackson. the world will
say of me, ! stood like stone wall
submitting to the ignomy and insults
beaped upon me-"
