POLICY OF UNITED
STATES WILL BE CHANGED

Washington, June President
Wilson and his cabinet today adopted
a new Mexican policy. 1t has for its
object restoration or orS!er and the re.
lief of millions or non-combatants
from the devastations or Mexico'a
military elements, which have brought
about conditions described as intolera.
BILE.
The president read to the cabinet
statement to be communicated tomor-
row to the leaders of all Mexican fac
tions, serving notice that unless they
themselves compose the situation.
some other means will be found by the
United States to bring about the es-
tablishment of a stable government.
The statement was approved after
longed discussion. It will be made
public tomorrow.
Course Not Outlined.
The specific course the United States
will pursue in the event the contend
ing factions fail to agree is not OUT
lined in the presidents statement, but
the administrations present purpose
is to give moral support to coalition
of the best elements in Mexico, and
accord the government thereby. Great
ed formal recognition. With such re-
cognition would come an embargo on
arms permitting the constituted gov
ernment to receive munitions of war
to the exclusion of all other elements
and factions.
That the governments policy, if un-
successful in this course, might re-
uuire ultimate intervention has been
considered, and the intentions to in
sist on a settlement has not been
swayed by the possible necessity of
such action. In high executive quar-
ters, however, confidence prevails that
the expression of the American gov
ernment's attitude will clear up mis-
apprehensions that have existed IN
coalition government.
The administrators policy is the
elimination of several weeks of con-
ference between the president and his
official family. The return of Duval
West, who spent three months person
ally investigating conditions in Mexi-
CO for the president, was the decid;
ing factor.

CULTIVATION.
E. L. Perkins.)


Cultivation plays one Of the most
important parts in making large
Yields. After just such a long raining
period as has been here, is when the
farmer should be at his best, both in
mind and body. The corn fields by
the time they are dry enough to culti-'
vate will have a heavy growth OF
weeds and grass. 1t is at such time
as this that the farmer is likely to DO
his crops worlds of damage. He IS
prone to cultivate too deeply in his et-
forts to completely. at one operation:
eradicate both weeds and grass. lC
would be much better for the farmer to
cultivate twice shallow than to cultl-
vate once deep at such time,
IF every farmer will, while cult1Ysst@
ing his corn. stop and gently remove
soil from upper roots of one corn plant
no will at once see at what depth he
should run his cultivator in order not
70 break from his plants the organs
which carry the plant food 1t Is
about as important for a plant to have
its full root system retained as II IS
for man to have perfecI system
of blood vessels in his body. The
roots gather the plant food and carry
# to plant. The blood conveys human
food to the different portions OF the
body.
Would you cut an artery?
Would you sever the roots OF your
corn?
11,tting arteries is not conducive
good health.
Cutting plant roots is not conduclVe
q . b
to large crops.

Red Cross Headquarters.
washington, May 29.-Reports of
hunger and suffering poured into
American Red Cross headquarters to ).
day from all parts of Mexico. Supple
menting it's appeal for aid the Red
Cross sent this telegram to all state
governors:
There are a large number of. un-
fortunate people in Mexico facing
death by starvation and the president
of the United States and the American
Red Cross make an appeal for money
and food supplies. Gifts or corn,
beans, rice and flour will be accepted
at any point in the United States and
forwarded by the Red Cross to Mexico
TO reach the people in distress.
Money may be sent to local Red
Cross treasurers or to the Red Cross
headquarters in Washington Before
donated supplies are sent from any
point, instructions from Washington
will be furnished for routing. The
most practical gateways into Mexico
at the present time and under the
present conditions are Vera Cruz (yia
Galveston), Brownsville, Laredo, Eagle
Pass and Ell Paso.. Texas. and Nogales,
Arizona"
While supplies can enter Mexico
through these gateways the question
of whether the Carranza or Villa
forces will interfere is still bothering
officials.
H. w. Catlin, who recently arrived
from Vera Cruz, told Red Cross Off
Gals today that beans were being
shipped from Vera Cruz to Cuba, while
people are starving five miles outside
the Carranza capital. There were
practically no food supplies to be pur-
chased in Mexico City, he said.

GERMANY SEEKS DELAY.
s. Officials Disappointed at. the
Tenor of German Reply.

/ . =.
Berlin, May Germany with
holds its final decision on the demands
advanced by the United States govern
ment in connection with the sinking
os the Lusitania, until the receipt of
an answer from the United States to
the note which Herr Won Jagow, the
foreign minister has delivered to AM
bassador Gerard in reply to the Amer
ican note received by the German gov
ernment on May 15..
In its reply the German government
declares that it is not its intention to
submit neutral ships in the war zone,
which are guilty of no hostile acts, to
attacks by submarine or aeroplanes.
that it is investigating the circum-
stances in connection with the attacks
on the American steamers Gushing and
Gulfight, and that in all cases where
neutral vessels, through no fault of
their own have been damaged, Ger
many will pay indemnifcation.
The reply urges that in the case OF
the Lusitania, which, Germany alleges,
was armed and carried large stores of
war munitions. "it was acting in justi-
fed self-defense in seeking with all
the means at it's disposition to pro-
tect the lives of its soldiers by destroy
ing ammunition intended for the
enemy" ST
The German government recalls the
proposals submitted by the United
States government to Berlin and Lon
don, designed to end the submarine
warfare and the shutting out of food
supply for Germany which, it declares
failed of their purpose because of the
refusal of the British. government to
agree to them.
Washington, May 30.-Germany's re-
rly to the American note concerning
the sinking of the Lusitania with. loss
of more than 100 American lives pro-
duced a feeling of profound disappoint-
ment here. Dissatisfaction at the
failure of Germany to answer the de-
mands of the United States was re-
1ected in government circles gem
orally.
President Wilson had retired early
before the text arrived, but from 2
reading of the summary published to-
day and Ambassador Gerard's fore
cast. he had an accurate impression of
what it contained. -,
ess Bryan Silent. rso
Secretary Bryan would make no com-
ment. Other cabinet officers were re-
ticent, but there was little conceal
ment anywhere that the answer from
Berlin had produced grave situation
in the relations between the United
States and Germany. Just what course
of action the United States will pursue
is undetermined.

President Must Know Germany''
Policy Toward NeutralS.

Washington, June 1-Pres1dent
Wilson determined today that the
limited States must ascertain definitely
and promptly from Germany whether
that country intends in the future to
be guided by the accepted principles
of international law and the rlgnt OF
neutral or to follow It's own rules OF
maritime warfare. :. :,
The president listened to Var1eo
expression of opinion at meeting OF
his cabinet, taking little part in the
discussion himself. Later he began
the preparation of note TO be ulS-
patched before the end OF this Week.
'embodying his own ideas and wnat
seemed to him the concensus OF MS
official family.
Reply Unsatisfactory.
The verdict of majority OF the
cabinet was that the German reply TO
fhe, American note following the sink
ING of the Lusitania was unrespons1ve
and unsatisfactory, disregarding the
good will of the United States, doubt
zing its facts and disclaiming all blame
for destruction OF the mercnant!llal'
with American lives. The questlons
of fact raised by Germany were re-
garded as irrelevant at this time: Inc
trend of opinion was that the UnlIea
States must learn soon Wnetner Gel
MANY intends to recognize the h1tner-
tn accepted principle that neutral
NOV travel anywhere on the high seas
ON unarmed merchant ships, even Il
such vessels carry contraband, ano
that merchantmen which do not resist

ferred to a place of safety before tnF

Of ore that is being delivered to
them. At the Combination mill,
Richard Staley began working on
a shipment of 300 tons of ore from

D. Payne has his mill. the cid
Mixsell mill running to its full

ore to supply it. The Jackson
mill is also milling large quan-
tity of ore while Newton mill is
kept busy OH the output of the
Gem mines. ore from the Mohser
lease and other properties. The
fact is that many of our mines are
kept busy turning out their large
grist of ore aud the mills are also
busy milling this output. 1t is
estimated that more men are work
ing in the mines than has been
the case for years while the out
put is large in excess of former
years. The year 1915 is destined
to be a record breaker in mining
