Handed to Silliman

The reply Of Gen. Carranza, which
was handed to John D. Silliman, Pres
loent Wilson'S representative in Mex
lco, at noon today. said that Gen. Car
rama could not consent that the in
terror affairs of the republic be hand
led by mediation or by the initiative
of any foreign government
The reply said further that accent
ance by Gen. Carranza of the invita-
ton TO attend a conference with
chiefs of the rebel factions with a
view Of returning peace to Mexico
would impair profoundly the indie
pendence of the Republic and would
establish the precedent of foreign in
reference in the determination of its
interior affairs
The First Chief it was added,
cannot, by means of any dealings en-
danger the fate of the country nor
permit the enemies of the cause which
ne represents to participate directly in
the government.
Nor does he believe it Just nor wise
to bring to sight the results of the
blood spilled on the Republics soil by
following the course which Your Ex-
ceilencles courteously and disinterest-
edly indicate to him, but which he
considers erroneous in view of the
teachings of our own experience.
In short, the revolution of 1910 in
itiated by Don Francisco l. Madero
was not able to fulfil its object be-
cause of the pact made at Juarez with
the old regime. The treaties there en-
tered into left the enemies of the peo-
pie still footing and were one of the
principal cause of the tragic happen
ings Of February, 1913 Of which Your
Excellencies are no doubt cognizant
and in the Vaccinations of which not
a small part was taken by certain for
eign ministers accredited to the gov
eminent of Mexico.
The assertion is made that Gen Fran
cisco Villa deserted the Constitutional
list cause under bride from a new reac-
tionary movement, taking advantage of
the powerful elements which had en-
trusted him by the first chief. and being
supported principally by those who had
upheld the usurper Huerta."
THE strife now draws to close" the
reply states. THE reactionary factions,
broken to pieces, seek refuge on the
northern frontier, retaining in it's possess
sion only the state of Chihuahua. small
part of the state Of Sonora and in the
center of the country the state of More
los. which will in short time be occu-
pied by Consttutionalist forces
THE first chief with an army of l50,-
600 at present controls the greater part of
the national domain and in the extensive
zone subject toFhis authority he has re-
established all the functions Of public
administration He has repaired the
lines Of communication. railway traffic
has been resumed and in the fields and
in the cities there has been a new move
ment and animation of normal life.

tunate chance Mr. Miller was up late
Friday night and had a light burning.
He heard a noise as Of rapping on a
door but at first did not think that
anyone was there A moment later he
heard distinct knocking and hurrying
to the door opened it and admitted a
young woman who stumbled into the
room, dust and blood upon her face,
and dirt upon her clothes.
There has been bad automobile ac-
cident," she gasped, get an ambulance
and help quick"
Called Ambulance
Mr. Miller called his wife and hur-
riedly called an ambulance from the
city. Within 10 minutes he himself was
on the scene Of the accident with neigh
bors whom he had called while pass
ing following close behind him. Upon
arriving there he found that one Of
the young men had succeeded in free
ing himself from under the roadster
and help was arriving from the oppo-
site direction summoned by him. The
TWO parties arrived at about the same
time. The men quickly turned the road
ster over and the other young man was
freed. Miss Reed was placed in the am
bulance a few minutes later and taken
to undertaking rooms in the city
Loses Consciousness
Mrs. Miller washed the blood from
Miss Robinson's face and as she
worked over her the young woman
kept saying that she was going 10
faint. Mrs. Miller encouraged her and
SO long as she sat in a chair she re-
tanned consciousness, but as soon as
Mrs. Miller had done all that she
could for her and helped her to reach
a couch. thu injured woman lapsed
into Inconsistencies. An ambulance
arrived quickly and took her to the
Augusta General hospital, where it
was found that she had sustained
serious conclusion of the head, but no
other threatening injuries were found
and at o'clock this morning II was
believed that she would recover.
Car Struck Post
The two young men were taken
home in an automobile. Both of them
were injured, but it was thought that
they suffered from no serious hurts.
According to the story told by the
first arrivals at the scene of the ac-
cident who obtained all the details
possible. the Ford roadster was welt
toward the foot of the hill when the
driver lost control of the steering
wheel and the car crashed into a tele-

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-In an address
here tonight at a banquet of the Ma
tional Security league, William How
ard Taft, former president of the
United States, declared himself in
favor of military preparedness and
said:
DO not let us sacrifice national
security to an academic theory or the
wish to vindicate it."
Mr. Taft said he found himself
with regard to his views on pre-
paredness, somewhere between Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Roosevelt Regard
ing pacificins he said:
Nations certainly have not reached
the point yet where they are not
willing, when the occasion offers, to
take advantage of the weakness Of
another nation to carry out a policy

He argued for a navy equal to the
greatest present navy of any world
power which supports a standing
army and for improved coast de-
lenses. He also declared for an in
crease of the army to one hundred
thousand men exclusive of the
Philippine constabulary and said that

We're there. This coronation. there

commencement of democracy of the
present and future The first great
step in the modern political develop

Mutsuhito in 1889 when he granted a
constitution to his subjects.
Every possible arrangement has
been made to impress upon the minds
of Che young the significance of the
ceremonies. Inc part played by the
school children of Japan is one of the
most Impressive features of the entire
coronation program which will last
about a month. Special portraits of
the emperor and empress were dis
trIbuted and commemorative exercises
were held in every school throughout
the empire; speeches were made re-
lating the Importance of the corona
tior; at every school two trees were
planted in cOmmemoration of the oc-
casion and a flag procession of child
rem was held in every district. At
the precise moment when the emper-
or mounted the throne to announce
his accession to the people salutes
are fired by the army and navy-and
in whatever part of the world soldiers
and ships may be located. Through
out the country cannon doomed, whis-
ties were blown, flags were flung to
the breeze, aerial bombs fired. the
national hymn sung and cries of
"banZai" swelled upward.
Religion occupied prominent
place. American missionaries were
leaders in the movement to hold
Christian services and in every Chris
tan church throughout the empire,
native or foreign, prayers were said
today for a long and happy reign of
