Washington, d. C.-The United
States answer to the last note from

The delay was considered advis-
able to eliminate the chance of any

prompted by political influences.
Administration officials are visibly
worried over the responsibility Of
serious anti-American outbreaks In
Mexico, but they are determined not
to take the initiative in any aggres-

Wait ON Convention.
Washington, D. C.-Unless the In
creasing seriousness of conditions in
Mexico forces action, dispatch of the
|reply Of General Carranza's demands
for withdrawal of American troops
probably will be delayed till after the
st. Louis convention because the ad-
ministration desires to avoid any
drastic step at time when it might
apepar to be prompted by political
influences.
The rapid spread of anti-American
propaganda, coupled with increasing
grave economic conditions, may take
the situation out Of their hands. No

1t was stated positively that the
Washington government was consid-

ready to act should they be forced
to do so.
A sharp rejoinder is being prepar-
ed to the Carranza note. Some off,

sulting to degree not to be tolerat-
ed and if their advice is followed its
author will be called to sharp account

ST. Louis, Mo.-When the Demo-
cratic national convention got down
to business shortly after noon there
was not one element in sight to dis
turb harmony and the denomination
OF Wilson and Marshall.
With the convention keynote
"Americanism and peace, prepared
hess and prosperity" the first ses-
sion was called to order by Chairman
w. F.. McCoombs, while 10000 dele
packed the hall.
Vice presidential booms wilted
when word reached the convention
that President Wilson desired the
denomination of Marshall
Bryan to be Good.
All prospects of a fight in the con-
vention went gimmering over night
with Bryan's announcement that he
did not propose to press certain
planks before the resolutions COM
mittee and that he would make cam
paign speeches for the Democratic
nominees.
The crowd was patient, orderly
and quiet.
The first real demonstration greet
ed McCoombs declarations:
"The elephant is dead. The moose
is dead Long live the American
eagle"
He declared that Wilson, in his
conduct of foreign affairs, stood with
Washington, Adams and Grant. who
had preserved peace with honor.

When the meeting was called to
order the candidates for president
and vice president had been agreed
upon and, according to leaders, there
will be no friction over the party's
declaration of principles. Only the
phraseology of a few planks in the
platform remains to be agreed upon.
Despite the expected cut and dried

the old campaigners to deliver ring

small army of assistants to handle
large crowds at all the meetings.

New York, Feb. 2S.-It became
known here today that a daring at
tempt to steal a sum estimated at
100000 consigned to New york
banks had been made on Saturday
morning by burglars who broke into
United States mail van while It was
on ferry In transit from the Jersey
Central railroad.
The postofiice inspectors who have
been detailed to the case admitted to-
day that the thieves has secured sew
eral packages other than those con-
signed to the banks, hat they pro-
fessed ignorance as to the extent Of
the booty.
They also refused to make any
statement as to how the robbery was
perpetrated.
II was said that four money pouch
es were stolen and, according to re-
ports from other sources, one of them
contained $4,000. Information as
to the exact amounts involved was
refused by the postoffice inspectors.

PRESIDENT OF PRINCETON
URGES SWISS ARMY PLAN

New York, Feb. 2S.-The adop-
ton by the United States of mill
tary system similar to that of Swift
erland and military training of col
lege men was advocated by President
John Greer Hibben, of Princeton
University, speaking here yesterday.
DR.. Hibben said he was pacifist,
but favored preparedness.
"If we don't spend money for pre-
paredness> now" he declared, 1--WE
shall pay in blood and tears some
time"
Every college man with three
months vacation in summer, he said,
should devote five weeks to training
for the defense of the country, as a
concrete manifestation of patriotism.
"a manifestation" he added,
"that would be more patriotic than
any words or songs or banner wav-
ing"
DR.. Hibben characterized the atti-
tude of the opponents of prepared
ness as "the reckless spirit of the
gambler which makes men say that
war is only possibility, that there
is no danger of our being attacked ;
the spirit that makes men say wen
take a chance, there is no danger.
These are the men, who believe that
the best way out of this prepared
ness problem is by optimism.
