ate the United States Serves
to Help Market.

NEW YORK, June 3.-A disposition
on the part Of Germany to placate the
United states and withdraw in a meas
ure at least, from its rather abrupt at
utude, as indicated by the call of the
imperial governments ambassador up
on President Wilson yesterday. gave to
the stock market today the strongest
undertone that has prevailed since the
sinking of the Lustania.
Led by United States Steel the mark
ct generally showed disposition to
advance materially and the volume Of
trading increased with the upward tend
ency of price levels. Both the railroads
and the industrials enjoyed strength
and recorded gains.
Steel common quickly took the lead
and moved up steadily until shortly
after midday the net advance over yes
terday's closing figure was 21s points,
the stock selling at 57b. Republic Iron
and Steel reflected the improvement in
the steel industry and at 29ss was up
1& points.
American Smelling and Refining and
Mexican Petroleum stocks showed the
effect of President Wilson's note to
Mexico, the feeling among traders being
that this ultimatum cannot fail in one
way or another to bring about more
settled conditions in the Ievolution-rid- ut

The coppers, as on yesterday. man.

practically a full point.
St. Paul was one of the strongest
of the railers. gaining 1ss points by
selling at 90h. Baltimore and Ohio.
Northern Pacific and Reading were
each up more than a point
Canadian Pacific fluctuated sharply.
and Missouri Pacific, as a result OF
probable trouble over the note ex-
tension forecast by the institution
of a suit in New York by the holder
of seventy-two of the notes, declined
approximately a point to 11b.

Huerta's Former Premier
Admits Grave Situation;
Felix Diaz Is Silent

NEW YORK, June 3.-That the situ-
alton was one of extreme gravity was
admitted by FREDERICK Gamboa, for
merly minister of foreign affairs in
General Huerta's cabinet, at the Hol-
land House today. He said interven-
ton In Mexican affairs would be re-
sented by everybody in Mexico.
AS a law-abiding Mexican" said Mr.
Gamboa, Il protest against the lawless
acts committed by both Generals Car
rama and Villa in Mexico, and think
lines suggested by President Wilson is
physical impossibility. Those men
will never agree upon the selection Of
one man to guide the destinies of the
Mexican nation, for their interests are
antagonistic to that course. Through
them and men like them the last FIVE
years in Mexico have been agonizing
and calamitous
Fortunately, the statement of Presi-
that one man or group of men may
be found to act in the emergency, and
thereby avert the danger Of interven-
ton. This possible extremity Is counter
balanced by the expression of the belief
of President Wilson that such an in
diyidual or group of men can be found.
There are thirty thousand Mexican
refugees in the United States and it
would be remarkable indeed II one man
or a group of men could not be found
In that number to fulfill every require
ment"
uen. Felix Diaz, nephew of the one
time President of Mexico, refused to
discuss the Mexican situation. Emeterio
de la CARA, formerly representative
in the Mexican congress. left for WASH
ington to discuss the situation with
MeXicans in the Capital.

NEW YORK. June 3.-General Vic

President of Mexico. after he hal
seen President Wilson's note on Mey-
leo, issued. through A. z. Rather. in
whose Offices he makes his hendouer-

AS a foreigner. enjoying the hos
pitality of foreign country, I should
not criticisc nor even discuss state
ments of the government or officers
of the foreign country l live in. But
may say this:
ANY foreign country that Is sincere
and honest in its endeavor TO help
our nation would commit the biggest
blunder by giving it's moral support
or assistance to any person or fac
tions.
"Such actions, instead Of bringing
the results desired. would result in
the opposite direction.
"The Mexican nation, as whole,
will never accept any such party,
even If 1t would only be suspected
that that party received any help
from foreign country.
Our people will never stand for
any government inspired by foreign
ers. no matter how humanitarian or
noble the motives Of such foreign ma =
tions appear to be-"

No "War" Preparations
Ordered For Army or
Guard, Says Garrison

No war" preparations have been or
dered or are contemplated. either for
the regular army or State militia be-
cause of the German and Mexican sit
uations. Secretary of War Garrison en-
phatically stated today. Transfers OF
troops to and from the Philippines and
on the Mxeican boundary. he said. are
merely of routine character
Increase Of the border guard is not
proposed. Garrison stated. Some of the
border patrols are being shifted, and
some summer maneuvers are planned,
but the army heads insist none can be
construed even remotely as prepared
ness for active service predicated upon
the dispute with Germany or develop
ments in Mexico.
Use of soldiers or marines to guard or
distribute food supplies sent to Mex1-
can famine sufferers Is not proposed,
either, according to both Secretaries
Bryan and Garrison. The Red Cross
will have charge OF the relief work, II
Is stated, after assurances are received
from the Mexican military chieftains
that supplies will not be diverted to the
warning armies.
