MEXICO PREPARED
FOR EMERGENCIES
BUYS MACHINERY IN JAPAN
AND BECOMES INDEPENDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES
tBy Associated PressJ

MEXICO CITY, Feb 26.-- The
cartridge-making machinery pur'
chased from Japan has been un-
loaded at Manzanillo from the
steamer Kotchiro Maru, and will
soon be put in operation, Two hun
dred japanese experts accompanied
the shipment in order to set up the
machinery and operate it. 1t is
hoped that this machinery will make
Mexico independent of other coun-
tries for ammunition.
It is understood the machinery
was purchased through efforts of
Major Carpio, of General obregon's
staff, who went to Japan some
months ago. 1t will be necessary
to rebuild the docks at Manzanillo
in order to land the machinery.
1t is believed that the government
shortly will purchase machinery for
the manufacture of artillery ammu-
milton.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 26.-
President Wilson addressed Con
gress at o'clock today asking au-
thority to establish a state of arm
ed neutrality" to protect American
ships. He asked power to use the
armed forces to protect the coun-
trys right on the high seas, not as
an act of war, but in preparation
for a warlike act by any other ma
ton. 1t is expected that Congress
will authorize the president to arm
merchant ships.
News of the Laconia disaster was
received as the president was on
his way to address Congress on the
grave possibilities to which he gave
added emphasis After greeting
Congress, he said 1--WE are moving
through critical times during which
it seems my duty to keep in close
touch with Congress so neither
counsel nor action may run at
cross purposes between us"
When the president sketched

that the situation is fraught with
the gravest possibilities and dan
gers, and it would be most impru-
dent to be unprepared. In view of
the fact that it would require un-
usual time to assemble and organ
ize the next Congress after the adj
journment of this one, feel
ought to obtain full and immediate
assurance of authority which we
may need any moment"
In conclusion he asked for author
ity to supply defensive arms to
merchantmen or employ any other
instrumentalities. Also Sufficient
credit" to enable and provide "ade-
quate means of protection"
The president completed his ad-
dress early and sent 1t to the print
er. He discussed the speech with
Senator Stone and is confident that
an extra session of Congress will
not be necessary.
Chairman Flood, of the foreign
affairs committee, announced he
/ would introduce a bill granting pow
er to the president to arm ships
and all other authority necessary
There was no applause for the
speech until the very end, when
there was storm of hand clapping
and cheering. The sentiment OF
the house generally seems to be
that if the legislation proposed lin
its the president to arming ships
and supplying conveys it will car
ry. The Republicans particularly
oppose any attempt to give him
blanket authority TO involve the
country in war. Chairman Flood
said his bill will meet this objection
He believes the president has no
desire to be entrusted with power
to make war.

found alive, was abandoned last
night because of the imminent dan
ger of slide from the opposite
side of the canyon.
For a time the Federal Mining &
Smelling company, owners of the
North Star mine, had force of 80
men engaged in recovering the dead.
Abandonment Of all hope of finding
any Of the victims alive and the
danger of precipitating a second
slide caused the company to call off

 Answers From the Holy Bible

the heart is made better. The heart
 of the wise is in the house of mourn ing; but the heart of the fool is in the house of mirth.-Eccle. vii:3, 4. Q.-Should we consider the work of God?
 A.-Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which He hath made crooked ?-Eccle. vii:13. Q.-Are we expected to fold our hands, nope and be miserable? An the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of diversity con- sider: God also hath set one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. Be not righteous over much, neither make myself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy myself? Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before they time? It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this with draw not thine hand: for he that fear eth God shall come forth of them all. Lo, this only have found, that God hath made man upright; but they have oOuSuC Out zIldIy 1uVcHtlOIlo."ICCi. vii:14. 16-18, 29.
 Q.-Can we violate our obligation of mutual love and be true to God? Ave are of God: he that know eth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. Beloved, let us love one an other: for love is of God; and ev- cry one that loveth is born of God; and knoweth God. He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us,, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Be- loved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another No man hath seen Got at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us. And this com mandment have we from Him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. -. John iv: 7-13, 21.

MARRIAGE SEQUEL TO CONSPIRACY CHARGES

New York, Sept. 22.-A romance that is said to have had it's real begin ming in the court room, where both of the principals were called upon to an swer to a charge of conspiracy to de- feat the conscription law, is to have it's continuation today in the marriage of Miss Eleanor Wilson Parker and Charles Francis Phillips. The couple first met while Phillips was student in the Columbia University School of Journalism, and Miss Parker was at tending Barnard college. Each was an officer of the Columbia Socialist Study club and both were on the Chal- lenge, the radical college magazine. In the early part of the summer the two were arrested by the federal au- thorities, together with Owen Cattell, another student, on charge of con spiracy to defeat the conscription law, the accusation being based on the al- legged distribution of circulars advising against registration for military ser vice. Phillips and Cattell were found guilty and as a result were deprived of their citizenship and sentenced to pay fine of $500 and serve one day in jail. Miss Parker was acquitted.
