ENDS WON'T MEET
Z. S. Consular Employees in
Europe Have Hard Time.
Cost of Living Now Greater
Than Their Salaries.

Washington, Oct. 30.-Urgent need
of financial assistance for American
consular officials and clerical assist
ants in Europe obliged by the greatly
increased cost of living since the war
to pay three times or more normal
peace time prices for foodstuffs and
personal necessities is shown in re-
ports received almost daily by the
state department. Almost without eX-
ception these show that what was re-
garded before the war as an attractive
compensation for consular employees
today is scarcely sufficient to provide
food and the bare necessities.
The $15O,O0O allowance given by
congress as a war fund to be diStrib-
uted to consular officers to meet in
creased demands has been allotted and
the department is now without means
of extending further relief.
No Relief in Sight.
No provision was made for the relief
of clerks and other employees and ex-
cept for few whose salaries have
been increased noassistance has been
given this class and none is possible
until congress provides additional
funds. A year ago the. department
directed consular officials to report on
the cost of living at their posts to de-
termine developments. of the increase.
Estimates show that the $3.50 900
would be sufficient then to meet only
from fifty to sixty per cent of the
actual increased cost at all affected
posts.
Salaries Not Large.
Department records show there is
about 500 employees in the European
countries whose salaries are 1000 a
year and less. In most instances these
are natives employed as clerks stenog-
raphers or similar positions whose ex-
penses naturally are less than those OF
the American employees. The number
of Americans in this grade of en-

Fundamentals,

II your outlook on life Is wholesome
and you have nothing worth while to
think upon it is permissible to let your
mind drift to the subject Of funda-
mentals. Fundamentals are all right
as long as you don't take them seri-
ously. But If you begin to believe
what you say about basic principles
and elementary laws you are likely to
become an uplifter or a Black Hand
artist. The trouble is that when you
get to brooding over such massive mat
tiers and the eternal consequences that
attend them you invariably come to the
conclusion that humanity is dallying
in the primrose path, and then, nine
times out OF ten. you decide to reform
something.
The golden rule of reforming IS: 10
unto yourself as YOU would like to do
unit others. But nobody pays any at
tention to it. 1t is just as popular in
theory and as unpopular in practice as
other fundamental laws of conduct are.
Uplift. like charity, should begin close

demanded that the. United States flag

eight Americans were killed and a
number seriously wounded, and more
than 200 Mexicans. We're killed.
B While the United States forces pro-
ceeded to administer the captured
city. but refrained from further SELF
ure of Mexican territory, mediation
proposals were mailed by Argentina,
Brazil and Chile, eliminating in the
"a B CT conference at Niagara Falls.
This, however, brought no decisive
result. as 1t was found impossible to
pin Huerta, down to any definite pro-
gram. In the meantime, matters
were going from bad to worse for the
Huerta government. On July Z, when
his finances were exhausted, his army
thoroughly beaten and disorganized.
and his enemies rapidly growing more
powerful Huerta presented his resig-
nation to the Mexican Congress. On
July 20, FIuerta and Banquet and
their families sailed for Spain.
In April, 1915, he left Spain and
came to this city with his family. He
announced that he would make his
home in the United States and he
and his family were soon established
IN house at Forest Hills. In June,
General Huerta went west, ostensib1y
to visit the Pahanna-Pacific EXPOSE
ton, and on June 27 he was arrested
at Newman. N. NJ, by "a United States
deputy marshal and his men, on
charges of violating the neutrality
of this country by planning here a
military movement in Mexico.
Alleged Dealings With Rinte1en.
Federal officials asserted that Franz
Rfntelen, a German agent, now i'm
prisoned in the Tower of London, had
spent large sums of money in an en-
deavor to cause disturbances along
the border, Numerous stories were
circulated that Huerta had received
this German backing in a plan to en-
bfotl this country with Mexico, as part
of the plan to prevent the shipment
OF munitions to the Allies. He was
soon released on bond. only to be
again arrested by United States Secret
Service men in Ell Paso, on July 3,
when apparently planning to cross
into Mexico.
Huerta was taken to Fort Bliss and
kept under guard, and remained there
until Dec. %. 1915. when his illness
became seri Gus, and he was removed
to his home in Ell. Paso.

ed with the army of President Lerdof
de Tejada and took part in the battle
of Tecoac, which marked the rise of
the star of President Porfirio Diaz.
Huerta then offered his sword to the
new ruler. and for the next thirty
years his career was that of a. sol
der. He assisted in putting down the
sporadic revolutions that marked the
early days of the Diaz regime, and
for a long period was in charge of
portions of the work being done by
the Geographical Survey Commission.
when President Diaz reorganized
army, Huerta was promGted to be
Captain OF engineers, and while hold
ing this rank devised the plan for a
Mexican General Staff. In 1901, he
left the Survey Commission and took
command of the infantry in the war
against the Yaqui Indians in the
Yaquf River Valley of the State OF
Sonora. After. peace was made, he
returned to his work on the General
Staff and was engaged in the mapping
of Sonora, afterWard taking part in
other campaigns against the Yaqui
reward for his services in these little
wars, President Diaz made him
Brigadier General and he again Joined
the Staff.
Faithful to Porfrio Diaz.
When the Madero revolution broke
out in the northern states of Mexico,
General Huerta was in command of
the detached government forcess in
the state of Guerrero, far from the
fighting. Diaz sent for him when he
finally decided to leave Mexico and
at a time when all the world seemed
against the old warrior-president and
there was no one to whom he could
turn. True to his old commander,
General Huerta gathered his few men
about him and dashed to the aid of
his chief, only to find that he was
wanted to escort him safely to Vera
Cruz. After he had performed this
duty he returned to the capital and
reported to the new President, Fran.
cisco I. Madero.
Pascual Orozco was sharp thorn
i'm the side of the new administration,
and President Madero knew that he,
must have a real soldier to cope with
the revolution he had started. Nat
ura1Iy he turned to the old Diaz gem
eral and sent him against Orozco. It
was a short and decisive campaign;
Huerta broke and scattered the revo-
lutionaries and drove their leader
into hiding. General Huerta became
at once the greatest man in the Mex
lean army. But he had become too
great so he was recalled and walked
the streets of the capital,a general
without command. This was not for
long. Orozco,s finding new followers
again raised the standard of revolt,
and again President Madero called on
General Huerta. Again the old war.
riors defeated the rebels and was in
command at the decisive battle of
Bacnimba. Again he was acclaimed
as Mexico's greatest soldier, and on
his return was. promoted to be a ma

i The Assassination OF NadePo. :
on Febs 10. 1918. with the army at
his back, General Huerta made him
