U. S. PLANS TO ACT IN MEXICO
WILL TAKE DEFINITE STEP TO
SETTLE PROBLEM.
Warning Factions Fail to Heed Will
sons Suggestion of Two Months
Ago to Restore Peace.

Washington, July 2S.-A definite
step toward settling the Mexican prob
lem will be taken by the United States
government in the near future. Au-
thoritative announcement to this eff
feet was made at the state depart
ment, although the nature of the con-
templated action was not disclosed.
President Wilson is understood to be
revolving several suggested courses in
his mind. His decision probably will
not become known before his return to
Washington from Cornish, N. H.
Factions Fail to Heed Suggestion.
The warning Mexican factions hav-
ing failed to heed his suggestion of
two months ago that they compose
their differences and restore peace in
the distressed country, President Will
son apparently has determined that
the other measures which the Wash
ington government announced it must
take if the battle of the factions con-
tinued, must now be resorted to.

they may involve new application
Of principles, and argues that it is

The new note, in the most courteous
language, holds that Great Britain's
action is justified by the decisions of
the United States court in cases aris-
ing during the Civil War. ANY diff
ferences with the United States over
what is termed the new application
of principles are held to be proper for
submission to judicial settlement.
Secretary Lansing announced re-

H|BB|NG CALLS ON
GOVERNOR FOR AID
WANTS STATE MILITIA TO TAKE
OVER GOVERNMENT
OF VILLAGE.
SEEKS LEGISLATIVE ACTION
Mayor Would Have Special Session
Consider Legislation That Would
Give Town Power to End "Con-
spiraey by Mining Co.'S"

Hibbing, July 20. Hibbing, styled
the richest village in the world,' now
penniless because the mining COM
panies within its limits declined to pay
$7oO,OOO taxes due in June this year,
has asked the governor to send state
militia to take over the government
OF the village and to call a special
session OF the legislature to consider
legislation that will give Hibbing pow-
er to end what it terms conspiracy
by the mining companies to deprive
the community of it's sovereignty"
This is Hibbings trump card. Aid
must come from the state or Hibbing
must yield to the mining companies,
declares Mayor Victor L. Power. The
Hfbbing council, in deciding to call for
the commemorative assistance, took
action also to discharge all the en-
ployes at the municipal water and
light plant and to close the plant.
No Funds Available.
In brief this is Hibbing's situation.
as outlined by Mayor Power:
No funds available for any purpose.
Municipal ray day August /, calling
for disbursement of about $4,000.
About s1,000,000 i'm council orders
now outstanding.
Village unable to get coal to con-
tinue operation of water and electric
plant.
Village merchants unable to accept
further council orders; unable to use
those they have with Duluth whole
sale houses; stocks of goods rapidly
nearing vanishing point.
Danger of serious trouble when pay
roll can no longer be met.
Request Before Governor.
Governor Hammond will have the
request of the Hibbing council before
him when he returns from his trip to
the Panama-Pacific exposition. C. w.
Andrist, private secretary to the COVER
nor, was unable to say whether the sit
uation in Hibbing would warrant mar.
tial law.
The resolution asking Governor
Hammond to put Hibbing under mar.
tial law and take such action as is
necessary to have the state assume
charge of the village affairs. was pass.
ed unanimously by the council The
resolution was introduced by Mayor
Power and acted upon by Recorder
d. D. Healy and Trustees Rufus SWIM
merton and John Curran, Trustee B. ].
Burrows was absent.
Mayor Power, in presenting his re-
solution, declared that the refusal Of
the II mining companies, headed by
the Oliver Iron Mining company, to
pay the first installment on taxes on
ore properties within the village limits
had left the village entirely without
funds with which to carry on the gov
ernment. This tax instaliment
amounts to $750,000.

remains unchanged"
Along the western bank of the Wis

Three counter-attacks, according tC
Petrograd, have succeeded in forcing
the Germans who had crossed the

at several points, but Berlin asserts
that they completely failed and that

easterly direction
The Russians, who were defeated
in the Baltic provinces recently, also

an attack from Mitau, which, however
