Expeditionary Force in Mexico
is Being Concentrated by
Him in Three Places.
M'ExlcANs ARE EXCITED
Fail to Understand Why Ameri-
can Troops Go Where Villa
Has Never Been in Flight.
tsy .ssee,.r.o r...s,


Ell PASO, April 1S.-Reports were
received here Tuesday from Mexican
sources that the American advanced
detachments had been recalled by
General j. j. Pershing and that the
expeditionary force was being con-
centrated in three places. strong
detachment being encamped near
Satevo, the main column near Nami-
quipa and third division at Colonia
Dublan.
These reports also stated that the
Parral fighting had most unfortu-
nate effect on the people OF northern
Mexico and has greatly inflamed the
anti-American feeling. The Parral
incident. 1t was said, had been magni
he'd by anti-American and anti-Car-
rama agitators into a great battle
in which the Americans were badly
beaten. The Mexican dead were ac-
counted for as unarmed citizens, who
had been killed by the Americans be-
lore the Parral garrison could inter-
fere.
The excitement Of the people had
been very much increased, according
to the same reports, by their knowi-
edge that Villa, dead or alive, had
never gone. as far south as Parral, and
their consequent inability to under
stand why the American cavalrymen
were in that district except on the
assumption that they were really in
vading Mexico.
The misery Of the poems ravaged
by disease and facing starvation is
making 1t more difficult than ever for
the authorities to keep them in con-
troll.

trict, the hot bed Of Republican, forty
two years ago. Not unlike many OF the
young men from the rural sections of
the country, he was compelled by cir
cumstances. to hue his own way
through many adverse and trying diff
culties which beset his path. These
obstacles, however, did not deter him
in his struggle for the accomplish
ment OF higher ideals and greater
efficiency in life. but rather proved q
stimulant to his ambition. At an early
age he lost his father and mother,
which left him wholly on his own ,e-
sponsibility and resources, and 1t was
through his initiative alone, that he
has been able to accomplish the
ideals Of his youth. :. -

intense interest in books, and through
continuous and persistent efforts he
successfully completed the free
schools in the country. and later at
tended Salem College, Fairmont State
Normal and the West Virginia Uniyer-
sity at Morgantown. He began his
career as public school teacher at
the age Of twenty-five years, and was
readily recognized as a leader in the
teaching fraternity and in educational
affairs generally. He served as q
member OF the board of teachers ex-
aminers for Harrison county and con-
tinued as such until he was elected

OUR DEPARTMENT OF STATE
lie Father and First Secretary Was
Robert r. Livingston.


Our first secretary for foreign affairs
was Robert II. Livingston Of New York.
a statesman and jurist who ranked high
among the giants who ruled the Cont
mental congress and carried the coun-
try through the Revolution. He Great
ed the department In the face Of diff.
culties which would have driven less
courageous man away from his work,
for In the congress there was gen
eral fear Of government and general
disinclination to depute any govern
mental powers. So the executive de-
partments which were created were
kept In leading strings and were not
allowed to go beyond reaching distance
Of congress, their mother and master.
The department Of foreign affairs
was created In 1871. and Livingston
was put at the head Of 1t. He resigned
In June, 1888, and the department was
suspended until John Jay was made
the secretary In September. 1884.
Since then 1t has had continuous ex-
istence, having been expanded into the
department Of state In 1889.
Livingston had charge under congress
Of the conduct of the country's foreign
affairs; he gave advice and information
to congress; he was the medium for in.
structing our ministers abroad and of
communicating with the French minis
ter in this country; he had an office
with assistants and clerks and sys-
tematically organized executive depart.
ment.
Let the editor of the Diplomatic Cor
respondence of the American Revolu.
ton, DR.. Francis Wharton, describe the
father Of the state department:
Livingston" he says, though a
much younger man than Franklin pos
sessed In his dispasslonatenes and his
many sidedness not few OF Frank
Inns characteristics. From his prior
administrative experience as royalist
recorder Of New York he had at least
some acquaintance with practical gov.
eminent In America; his thorough stud.
les as scholar and Jurist gave him a
knowledge Of administrative politics
In other spheres. As secretary OF for.
eign affairs In l7S1-S3 he did more
than any one in the home government
In shaping its foreign policy. But the
system he indicated was - not the
militia system OF unsophisticated i'm
pulse, but that which the law Of ma.
lions had at the tinr sanctioned as
the best mode of cond. ting interna.
tional affairs. His course as secretary
was based on the lf OF nations as
thus understood by him." - Gaillard
