Danger to Foreigners in Famine.
Menaced Capital 0vershad.
oWs War Crisis.
SOME EXPECT intervention
Bryan, However, Denies That
Administration Is Consider
\ ing Landing Troops Again.

Carranzas delay in replying to the
representations from the United states
regarding conditions in Mexico CITY
served today to increase the tension IN
Admit istraton circles.
The imminent danger threatening for
eigners in the Mexican capital. with the
hGnger-maddened populace expected at
any moment to break loose in n carnival
of rioting and plumber, has served to
oversf adow completely the peril to
American shipping In the European war
zone.
Although no one i'm authority believes
that the suituation Is not one which may
compel the United States to invade
Mexico. Secretary Bryan today refuscd
to confirm the report that the Admins
tration is now considering the advis-
ability of intervention such as that en-
ployed during the Boxer uprising In
china.
This much seems certain. II the Ad-
mni3tration does decide to intervene in
Mexico. either alone or with other ma
tions, the attempt will not be repeated
to make it appear that the landing OF
troops is not war.
The sending of American forces to the
Mexican capital. officials admit. would
he ar act of war. 1t Is thought that tho
president would not act without calling
congress in session.
Far From Satisfactory.
The situation in Mexico City" said
toIa to-
satisfactory. The representations which
we have made to General Carranza re-
quest him to reopen railroad traffic
into Mexico. so that Americans and
other foreign Ars may get food. and call
his attention to the fact that the news
paper interviews which General Obre-
gon Is giving out in Mexico City serve
to arouse the feelings of the people of
that city against foreigners. As far
as we are informed there have been no
riots so far
Tho Secretary. in refusing to discuss
possible Intervention, delivered sharp
rebuke against what he termed news
paper speculation
Juan N. Amador. temporarily in
charge Of the constitutionalist agency
today issued the following statement in
Iegard to the situation:
The press within the past two DAYS
has grossly exaggerated conditions in
Mexico city. indicative of how unrc-
liable Is the information they have re-
celved. Is the fact that communica tions
from Mexico City dated February Is and

clared that at that time General Obre-
son was melting the mobs to riot. was
contemplating cutting off the water sup
ply. and was about to evacuate Mexico
city. Nearly a month has passed since
these dire predictions were made, and
none of them have been fulfilled.
1T is ridiculous to talk Of a situation
arising in Mexico City similar to that
which took place In Peking during the
boxer uprising. No foreigner VINO con.

Club held their first meeting in the
Physics Building yesterday. After
the report by the secretary, Mrs. NJ.

The talk brought forth some lively
discussions.
Mrs. Harvey of Rorter's School.
near Kirksville, who has built up a
very good school out of one-room
house. advocated cooperative social
clubs. This would lead to greater
cooperation in farm neighborhoods,
according to Mrs. Harvey.

FOR HONESTY IN ADVERTISING.

"The merchant who advertises un.
truthfully and who uses unfair bust
ness methods, not only injuries him.
self, but he injuries his entire commu-
nifty through creating in the minds OF
customers a general distrust of all
merchants and all advertising"
This statement by a speaker re-
Gently was borne out in fuller detail
when the clothing dealers of Missouri
in recent convention voted to father
a bill in this session of the legislature
making the insertion of a misleading
statement in an advertisement misde-
meanor.
A professional fire and bankruptcy
sales company purchased stock of
clothing and furnishings in Missouri
city about six years ago. Under the
name of the reputable merchant who
had owned the stock, this company
conducted a continuous fire sale in this
city for about two years. In that time
carloads of cheap shoddy clothing
from half dozen states was sold by
this firm under the name of the pre-
vious owner. Everything was adver-
tised as first class stock ''only slight
ly damaged by fire and water" and
the quoted prices representation pa
peri fabulous reductions. At the
end of two years this company had
exhausted the possibilities of this city,
so it moved on to greener pastures. 1t
was common gossip in this city that
the fire sale company had cleaned
up" not less than $4,000 through its
misleading advertising in this commu-
nifty.
This city had no ordinance against
"fyby-night" firms and Missouri had
no law against misleading advertising,
so its legitimate merchants and its
citizens had to suffer. And they are
still suffering from the effects of this
big fake sale.
Every citizen in good health is quick
to insist upon a quarantine when
smallpox breaks out in the neighbor,
hood. Certainly every legitimate mer-
chant, every legitimate publisher and
every right minded citizen should in
sist that the infection" of the fake
advertiser be removed
1t can be done through the pure
advertising bill that has been intro
duced in the legislature by Frank c
