NO MEDIATION JUST NOW
But Door Is Not Closed to Possible
Settlement In Near Future

Washington, June 27.-No media
ton at this time in the Mexican af-
fair is understood to be the latest de :
cision OF President Wilson. While
administration officials are inclined to
express no opinion on the offers OF
mediation from Latin governments
they do not wish to close the door
absolutely to possible settlement al a
later date of the disputes between this
government by means of mediation.
The president takes the position
that the situation has gotten out OF
Carranza's hands and that any inti-
nation that the United States is will
ing to bargain with him pending a re-
ply to this governments recent notes

Asks Them 10 Follow Him In
Support of Hughes
THIRD TICKET MEANS WILSON
Colonel Confident That Republican
Nominee viii Battle For Platform
Principles II EIected--one Purpose
Is to Serve Our Common Country
Wilson Tried and Found Wanting

New York, June 27.-Theodore
Rooseyelt's letter to the Progressive
national committee, pledging support
to Charles f.. Hughes, the Republi
| can presidential nominee, was made
public here. II is a strong indorse-
ment of Hughes and a promise to de-
vote every energy in behalf of the
election of the former justice.
Roosevelt says that in his judgment
the nomination of Hughes meets the
conditions set forth in the statement
OF the Progressive national commit
tee, issued last January, and in his
own personal statements Under ex-
isting conditions, the nomination OF
a third ticket would, he says. be
merely a move in the interest of the
election of Wilson.
He calls Hughes a man whose pub
lie record is a guarantee that he will
not merely stand for a program OF
clean-cut sstraightout Americanism
before election, but will resolutely
and in good faith put 1t through II
elected" and says he is beyond all
comparison better fitted to be presi-
dent than Wilson,
1T would be grave detriment 10
the country to re-elect Mr.. Wilson,
says the colonel. Il shall. therefore,
strongly support Mr.. Hughes Such |
being the case, 1t is unnecessary TO |
say that | cannot accept the nomina-
tion on a third ticket
Il believe that when my fellow
Progressives coolly consider the ques-
tion they will for the most part take
this position. They and have but
one purpose-the purpose TO serve
our common country.
No good Amerfcaas whatever his
ancestry or creed, can have any feel
ing except scorn and detestation for
hose professional German Americans
who seek to make the American pres
dent in effect a viceroy OF the Ger
nan emperor.
'Mr, Hughes character and his
whole course of conduct in public at
airs justify us in the assured con-
1ction that the fact that these men
ave for their own purposes support
d him, will, in no shape or way, af-
ect his public actions before or after
lection. His entire public life Is
of this. +

Row TO Judge q
Woman by Her Hair

There are always the well-known
and semi-humorous methods, such
as saying brunettes are quick-tem-
pered. But there is real common
sense in just noticing whether the
hair is well kept to judge woman'S
neatness. If you are one of the few
who try to make the most of your
hair, remember that it is not adj
visable to wash the hair with any
cleanser made for all purposes, but
always use some good preparation
made expressly for shampooing. You
can enjoy the very best by getting
some canthrox from your druggist
and dissolving teaspoonful in a cup
of hot water when your shampoo is
all ready. After It's use the hair
dries rapidly with uniform color.
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear. Your
hair will be so fluffy that It will look
much heavier than 1t Is. Its luster
and softness will also delight you,
while the stimulated scalp gains the
health which insures hair growth
