man trad and designed for certain
distinctive purposes. the chief of
which is the carrying of passengers
and a certain amount of freight be-
tween America and Europe. If all of
these German ships capable of con-
veying passengers were put upon the
transatlantic route, there would be
no profitable business for them-the
trade would be heavily overdone-and
there is no other trade for which
these large and expensive steamships
are adapted.
There is South America, where Am
erican ships have been so conspicuous
ly lacking. But South America re-
quires one type of ship and Europe
quite another. Modern freighters of
moderate draft and tonnage, 1t is true,
trades, but 1t is in just this kind of
ship hat the locked-up German fleets
unfortunately happen to be most def
cient. A passenger, mail or cargo
steamer for service to Brazil, Argen-
tina, Chile or Peru should be able to
carry 100 or 200 cabin passengers, 800
or 400 third-class passengers, and
1000 to 5000 tons of cargo. with a
speed of from IL to 16 knots. Such a
ship should be designed, particularly
with a view to free ventilation and
comfort in the tropics, through which
she must pass, going and returning.
The most satisfactory steamers for
South American routes ave always
been of a design very different from
that required for the cold and bois-
ferrous ATTITUDES of the North Atlantic.
So 1t would seem that while Ger
many would lose heavily by a declar-
alton of war nobody could justly ac-
the United States of plunging
into the European conflict or of pro-
voking a quarrel for the motive of
robbing Germany of her merchant
marine stored in u ports.

HUERTA REFUSES TO
DISCUSS MEXICAN
WAR UNTIL FRIDAY
Former Dictator POnderS
With Plenty Of Ice and
diversified Glasses

New York, April l3.-- For a pro.
fessed casual tourist enjoying himself
travelling, General Victoriano Huerta
is exceedingly busy studying the Mex
lean situation.
At least this was the declaration of
Abraham Rather, business associate of
the former Mexican dictator and a
member of his party here today. Guard
ed by hall men, hall boys, Rather and
Jose Delgado, his private secretary,
Huerta remained in his luxurious suite
at the Ansonia hotel. He refused to
see visitors and when newspaper men
became insistant, Rather finally an
nounced that the general was swamped
with correspondence at present, but
would discuss Mexico on Friday.
In reply to questions as to just what
General Huerta was "having on the
side" today, Rati5i explained that HI
was confining himself to port wine
Just then three burly icemen passed
however bound for the room occupied
by the illustrious visitor. They were
tugging at a great cake of ice while q
waiter followed in their wake carrying
q tray Of diversified whiskey glasses.
Rather explained that the correspond
ence Of which he spoke was from Amer
lean cities, and Of course had no bear
ing upon Mexico. He denied rumors
that Huerta was about to join former
supporters of General Felix Diaz il
any Mexican movement, and also rather
weakly denied that the deposed dicta
tor intended to establish jaunta there
or elsewhere.
Secretary Delgado added the in.
formation that Iuerta intends to re
main in New York until Friday. He
may then make a short trip somewhere
possibly to Niagara Falls, but certainly
not to San Francisco or any place a.
near home as New Orleans, DelgadC
hastened to state
Rather denied that Huerta had Of.
fered his services to any European ma,
tion and made it plain that the gen
eral was still keenly interested in
Mexico.
Huerta spent today "seeing the
sights" To newspaper men he re.
iterated his peaceful intentions. Car.
ranzista agents insisted, however, that
the former dictator was here TO stir
up more trouble and they predicted
that he would center his efforts on
Yucatan where differences have re.

Geneva, Switzerland, April l3.-
Germany is contemplating n great
