"If the hour of trial should ever come

Court of Tax Appeals Approved.

The association, on motion of J. D.

and also instructed its committee on
railways to take up with the Commits
soners and insist upon the necessary
repairs being made by the railroad to
the spaces between the rails on Geor-

manifested by several members of the
failure to secure correction of these
long -standing conditions.

mission will be asked to issue order
to prevent the standing of passengers
in the vestibule of the center-entrance
cars on the Brightwood line. Attention
will be called to the danger of this

Denies Death Elevated Huerta.

1T has been attempted, with a great
measure Of success, to make the Ameri-
can people believe that Huerta became
president through Madero's death. Per-
haps 80 per cent of intelligent Ameri-
cans so understand it. But this is not
true. Huerta became president through
Madero's and Lescurain's designations
Maderos death did not occur until some
days later
"Huerta became provisional president
of Mexico February 10, 1913. Mr.. Taft
ceased to be President of the United
States March 4, 1913. There were thus
twelve days within which President
Taft could have extended recognition
Why did he not do so?
The main questions involved in de-
termining whether or not to recognize
government seeking recognition are
these: Is the requesting government
able and disposed to comply with the
rules of international law? Will 1t re-
spect the obligation of treaties and the
ethical rules of comfy observed by
self-respecting nations? Will it rec
ognize, respect and protect the rights
of foreigners residing within its Dor
ders?

Requested Mexican Assurances.

I'VE requested of Huerta and his
government some assurances of their
speedy and satisfactory adjustment,
and while awaiting his reply the
twelve days slipped away. Mr.. Taft
ceased to be President, Mr.. Wilson as
sumed Office. and this is why the Taft
administration did not recognize
Huerta.
What Mr.. Wilson inherited from Mr..
Taft was an outstanding. unanswered
diplomatic request to the de facto gov
eminent at Mexico City for definite as
surauces for the security of American
rights and the adjustment of American
claims as a preliminary to the consid-
GRAFTON of the question of recognition.
What Mr.. Wilson did was to repudate
the policy of his predecessor. in this
as in all other things. and create a
situation that made the adjustment of
American rights impossible"

Mobilization of Industries.

The mobilization of American indus
tries and commerce is prime factor in
preparedness for national defense. Sec
ertary of War Baker declared. He said
that at first the question revolved
around mere military preparation in
the narrowest sense, but as the war
developed in Europe the nation learn
ed that perhaps the most important
kind of preparedness is a kind that Is
equally available and useful in times
of peace, and which, IL obtained. will
not only render military preparation
more effective, but will steady and
strengthen and inspire the nation when
engaged in peaceful pursuits.
''Threefold mobilization is necessary
in any country for war" said Mr.. Ba-
ker. land of these three elements two
are as valuable and as vital in times
of peace as in times of conflict. In
the first place. there must be. of course,
arms and soldiers. ships and sailors,
and these must be modern and ade-
quate.
THE second mobilization necessary is
that of our industries and commerce
The war in Europe had been under way
more than a year before some of the
countries were able to equip the men
who volunteered for their armies.

PROPOSED BY FRENCH
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Paris, Sept. ia sort of official
matrimonial agency is the latest ex-
pedient proposed by Eugene Brieux
of the French academy to relieve the
anticipated dearth of husbands after
the war.
There were 1,87S,265 single men
and 1,664,665 single women above the
age of 25 in France before the war,
according to the latest complete sta
tistics. From the age of thirty IN
the number of unmarried was about
equal between the two sexes with a
million each.
A considerable number of happy
households could have been organized
out of these vast resources, M. BrieuS
thinks, had there been greater facil.
tiles for bringing eligible parties to,
gether They should in the future
he thinks be all registered at Their
respective town halls.
A more significant suggestion, alsc
due to NJ. Brieux, is the abolition Of
the marriage contract and the dowel

believe romantic period is to set il
in which the dover will get lost il

When the seriousness of the fire be-
came known, the ships bow was
turned toward Coos bay with full
steam ahead.
Mrs. Margaret Reig, of New Or
leans, suddenly feeling the soles of
her feet warmed by the blistering
deck, became hysterical with terror.
Madam, there is no danger" Cap
tain Cousins called to her. "All of
you will be landed safely"
When the dredge Niche blew four
blasts Captain Cousins ordered three
blown in reply, but the last failed tc
sound for steam was dying in the
boilers. By that time the Congress
had dropped anchor and the life boats
were lowered on the starboard side
The smoke was so thick they coulc
not be lowered on the port side.

Navy Bill Contains Appro-
prlation and Pensacola is
Urged as Logical Point.
OFFICERS NOW
BEING TRAINED
Fact That Naval School is
Here Will Probably
Weigh With Dept.

Several officers of the coast guard
station here are being trained in
aeronautics at the flying school, and
It is expected that when the provis.
ions of the new naval appropriation
go INTO effect Pensacola may be chosen
as a point for the establishment of
branch coast guard training sta.
ton.
By the provisions of the bill the
secretary of the treasury was author.
lied to establish ten aviation stations
and a school of instructions for the
coast guard service. While Pensacola
will probably receive some machines
for the station here, in the event the
training school is not located here. it
is considered probable that because
this place was selected as the best in
the country for the establishment of
the present naval flying school, that
the coast guard station may be placed
here also.
The development of the new meas
ure is expected to eventually place
flying boats in every coast guard sta
tion in the country, and the training
of officers which has recently been
done here viii place the coast guard
service on gulf far in advance of those
established later.
G. E. Dobsons who has recently
written a letter to Senator Fletcher
presenting Pensacola's claims to the
coast guard station, stated Saturday
that the fact that the naval school
is here will probably weigh with the
department when the selection is
| made, for it win enable a eonsolida-
ton in many cases which would be
impossible at other points.
