conference on the Mexican situation
today. Agreement to this effect was
the result of the first session of Hae
conference held in the ONCE of Secre-
tary Lansing this afternoon.
These conferences will be resumed
tomorrow afternoon, and 1t 10 hoped
that at the conclusion OF this second
session all details of the procedure
to be taken In Mexico by the United
States will have been definitely de-
cided upon.
Ultimatum TO Carranza.
The notice to the Mexicans. which
will constitute the next step In the
Presidents plans for restoring peace
in Mexico, will In effect really be an
ult!matum to Carranxa. Inasmuch as
Villa and Zapata already have agreed
to cooperate for q settlement of the
political situation in Mexico. the next
summons will be warning TO Car
rama that he must either come In
with the other two leaders, or be
eliminated through the power OF the
United States.
No one here tonight anticipates that
Carranza will yield In the slightest
degree. Consequently, it Is expected
the United States warning will speed
lily be followed by steps to consolidate
the other factions in Mexico and the
establishment of government by
them which shall have the unmeas-
ured support Of the United stateA
Secretary Lansing made Il clear to
the Latin-Amer4can diplomats that
the President Is now fully determined
20 have peace in Ns>sL,. He indi-
Gated that the Un..ci States considers
that the revolution In Mexico ended =
year ago; that what mas followed has
been inexcusable state of anarchy
which must be brought to an end.
This the President 10 determined to
do: II not in one way. then in another.
The six diplomats were assured that
President Wilson mas no interest In
personalities in the Mexican situation.
but that he Is solely interested In
restoring the reign of law and order
in the revolution-rfdden republic.
Procedure Considered.
The Presidents advisers are very
hopeful that the Presidents purposes
can be accomplished without armed
Intervention by the United States
even IL Carranza should balk. They
believe this can be done through un-
limited support Of man, or group OF
men. to be selected in some way not

PUPILS TO STUDY
FIRST AID RULES
Manual for schools Published By state
boards of Health and Public
Instruction.

When the public schools reopen next
month the pupils in many of the grades
will have new study and a new text
book. the one prescribed by law and
the other supplied by the State Boards
of Public Instruction and Health. First
aid to the injured and the prevention
of accidents will hereafter be regular
part of the curriculum Of the schools
OF the Commonwealth and will be
based on new manual, the first copies
OF which have just been received from
the public printer.
At the 1914 session of the General
Assembly. a bill was introduced and
passed making II compulsory to give
instruction on the preventing of acct
de nts in the public schools. Soon after
the passage OF this bill, vital statistics
for the State were published which
showed the Importance of the legisla-
ton. More than 1000 deaths. II was
found. were annually attributed to ac-
are preventabie.
In accordance with the provisions
of the law. the educational and health
authorities of the State Jointly pre-
pared q first aid manual which was re-
vised and carefully criticised by q
number Of eminent surgeons. One hun
dred thousand copies of this manual
were printed and are now ready for
distribution In the schools.
The manual contains a digest of the
fundamental principles of first aid and
takes wide range, covering all sub
jects from bruises and COLES TO RS
suscitation. snake-bite and the various
forms of chemical poisoning. The diff
ferent sections are numerically ar
ranged and are fully indexed for rapid
reference. One entire chapter Is de-
voted to IRE drills in the schools,
another to the prevention OF accidents
on the railroads and still another to
the handling of horses and teams.
The Importance of the instruction
In the prevention of accidents. de-
clarcs the State Board of Health In
q brief announcement of the new man
ual today. can be gathered from the
fact that there were 24e deaths from
burns In Virginia during 1913. Inves-
tic alton has show that many of these
are due to csrlessness In handling oil
lamps and in lighting fires. few
simple precautions, observed by all ths
people would prevent practically ever,
one of these accidents. with q conse'
auent saving of life and reduction Of
suffering. What is true of accidental
burns is true of many other accidental
causes of death. Our present mortalit,
from accidents is twice as great as
from typhoid fever, one and a hall
times as great as from cancer. greater
than from the summer complaints OF
infants and claims more victims In .
year than ten other weli-known causes
of death"
