CARRANzA WILL
Be RECOGNIZED.
Decision Reached by the A. B. C.
Conference to This End
PEACE IN MEXICO EXPECTED
Embargo Will Soon be Declared on
Shipment of Arms to All BelIgsr-
ant Factions-American Lead
Followed in the Decision.

Washington. - Recognition Of the
party lead by General Carranza as the
de facto government in Mexico was
unanimously agreed upon by the pam
American conference as the step to be
recommended to their respective gov
ernments.
Secretary Lansing on behalf of the
United States expressed its intention
Of recognizing Carranza and the am
bassadors of Brazil, Argentine, Chill,
and the ministers from Bolivia, IRA
quay and Guatemala transmitted the
decision as we'll as their own opinions
totheir respective governments in &C
cord with it.
Mr.. Lansing has the approval of
the president to the plan and before
the conference began all the minis
ters in the Latin-American corps had
agreed to it,
Has Moral Support of United States.
The action OF the conference was
regarded generally as the most i'm
portant diplomatic step in the Mexi-
can situation since the withholding of
recognition from Former Chief Huer-
Ia two years ago. 1t means that the
Carranza government will receive the
moral support of this government and
an embargo on the shipment of arms
to opposing factions will be laid as
soon as recognition is actually ex-
tended, which action will probably be
taken in the next fortnight.
No Internal Interference.
The fact that the United States al
ready has decided to recognize the
CarranZa government is thought will
have an important effect in Mexico.
Officials believe many elements will
now align themselves with Carranza
and that the latter will adopt a lib
eral policy and attitude toward his
opponents, permitting reconcilia-
ton of the several branches of the
original constitutionalist party among
the founders of which he was a prom
inent figure.
Says Peace in Sight.
Vera Cruz, Mex.-General Carranza
received with great pleasure the news
that the Pan-American conference at
Washington had decided to recon-
mend recognition of the party led by
him. He said:
This news puts an end to all eff
forts of our enemies to bring about
foreign Intervention. They continue
their intrigues and their attacks in
the newspapers, but recognition of the
constitutionalist government naturally
will rob them of the fruit of their eff
forts. When peace is absolutely re-
stored and tranquility really establish
ed throughout the republic, amnesty
will be granted to all those persons,
but not now"

posed recognition of the first chief

STEAMSHIP CQ.
 ...'' AIDS NATIVES
Will Take Four Big Cases of Cloth. ing To Bristol Bay Transpor-
 tation Free.

Four cases of clothing will be sent westward on the next Santa Ana for the use of the natives in the Bristol bay region. The shipment is being made by the Valdez Civic League and the clothing has been donated by the people of Valdez. The shipment will go direct to Mrs. Call. the United States Commissioner in the Bristol bay region. and she will attend to the distribution of the clothes among the needy natives.
 The need for aid was so apparent to Judge E. M. Brown when he made the trip westward last season on the floating court that he started the movement and with the aid of the ladies has succeeded in securing a large amount of clothes which will help to keep the natives warm, during next winter. The shipment could not be made before this as the Santa Ana does not make calls in Bristol bay except during June, July and August.
 The Alaska Steamship company have ordered that the freight be car ried free and they will donate the freight as their share in aiding the natives.
 Mrs. Call, the U. S. Commissioner, is the only woman commissioner in Alaska.

A aIrd With Hands.

In the forests OF British Guiana.
says the London Globe. lives the ho-
actin. a singular bird, whose young
possess a free claw at the end Of each
wing. which they use almost as the
monkey uses bis hands in tree climb
ing The nest Of the hoactzin Is In a
tree overhanging the water. and the
young, unlike most birds, are active
from the frst. The outermost quill
feathers of the wing. which might
hamper the free use of the claws, do
not grow much until the rest of the
wing is strong enough to make climb
ing less necessary. Then they grow
out, and the claws are absorbed. The
adult bird does not need them. Should
a young hoactzin fall into the water It
makes for the shore and seizes q
branch, up which It quickly climbs.
