day is regarded as significant, how
ever, of a feeling on his part that
the crisis is over.
As a matter of general principle
the Washington government always
has favored mediation of any dispute
suitable for such procedure. There
is every indication, however. that in
the present instance 1t will be deem
ed desirable to conduct forthcoming
negotiations directly with the Car
rama government.
Members of the Latin-American
diplomatic corps r expected to
make inquiry soon as to the attitude
of the Washington government in
view of the statement of the Mexican
foreign office that it awaits only a
decision as to whether mediation or
direct negotiations would be prefer
able. Indications are that the in
uuiries would be met with assurances
that the two governments had reach
ed a stage where they would not find
il necessary to call upon the friendly
services of their neighbor states.

Call to the CoIors

The war department. announced at
call to the colors within a few days
the regular army reserve, consisting
of between 1000 and 5000 men who
have served in the army, in order to
hasten organization of new units pro-
vided by the army reorganization act.
Those who will be affected by the
order are enlisted men who have been
furloughed into the since No.
vember1, 1915, after having been in
active service for three years.
The reserve may be called into ac-
tive service under the law in case of
war or emergency"
About 10000 men are needed for
the additional units authorized for
this rear by the reorganization act.
The war department is determined to
develop these without breaking up
the existing units any more than nee
essary. and 1t Is understood the de-
eision TO issue a call to the colors
grew out of this desire rather than
from any further need Of troops in
the Mexican emergency.
THE war department is going to
call out the regular army reserves.
The new national defense act passed
on June 8. provides for certain addi-
tional regulars for the army. The
men of the reserve are to be used to
fill up the ranks of these new organ-
izations."
This will be the first time the re-
serve has been called out since IL was
created by the act OF November 1.
1912, and an actual reserve force has
been available only since last Novem-
Der I, when the minimum three-year
period OF active service ended.
The new units to be organized this
year are seven regiments OF infantry.
two regiments of cavalry, three reg
iments of field artillery and W. reg
iments of engineers. in addition to a
number of special troops.

Death of Hetty Geen

Hetty Green. said to be the veal
thiest woman in the world, died at
her home in New York Monday.
There was probably no woman in
the United States whose name, dur
ing her prime, appeared more often
in the newspapers. Left a widow,
she not only raised her son and help
ed her own and her husbands fam
lily, but developed a pronounced f.
naneial genius. She obtained a
knowledge of great financial move
ments that was regarded by men in
Wall Street as positively uncanny and
the late Russell Sage once admitted
that he vas afraid of her.
Her investments developed into
millions and she a a heavy stock
holder in some of the greatest cor
porations in the world. She had one
rule, however, that she eve broke,
and that was never to invest in any
thing until she thoroughly under
stood it. She always kept immense
sums of ready money where she could
readily put her hand on them and in
consequence of this trait during the
panicky days of 10 years ago and in
the previous panic. when gold coin
was in demand at enormous rates
for call loans, she doubled and treb-
led over a million that she was known
TO have in cash.
Her son, Col. Green. and heI
daughter, Mrs. Matthews Aston Wilkf
who were the only children had beer

with her much of the time n 1t
was recently reported that Mrs.
Green had turned over all of her
financial affairs to her son.
Wall Streets estimates of Mrs.
Green's fortune range from So ,0OO,-
600 to 500, 900, 900. Officials of the
Chemical National bank. in which
Mrs. Green once made her down
town headquarters. declined to haz-
ard a guess concerning the size OF her
estate.
Until a few years ago Mrs. Green
was a familiar figure in the financial
district but lately her appearance
there had been very infrequent. 1t
is believed that a considerable part
of her money was invested in first
mortgage and high class railway
bonds.
