REASONS GIVEN BY GEN. SCOTT
FOR REFUSING MEXICAN CROWN
Offer of Dictatorship Seventy-two Years
Ago Recalled as Interesting Chapter
CHARLOTTE ORLANDO,

The revival of the Mexican discus
sion at this time, and looking back
through Seventy-two years, 1S47-1919,
recalls an interesting chapter in
American civil and military history
possibly unknown or forgotten in this
generation-an incident in the des-
tiny of a nation which in the light of
subsequent events, might have
changed the whole course of the Mex
lean republic. Suppose, it may BIZ
mentioned. Gen. Winfield Scott had
accepted the offered dictatorship or
marched his army into the city of
Mexico in 1S47, at the close of the
Mexican wars.
Gen. Scott Explains.
In the presidential campaign of
1852, Gen. Scott, in order to explain
conflicting press reports in regard to
this incident in his career, said at a
public dinner in Sandusky. Ohio:
Il have nowhere seen it correctly
to remain in that country (Mexico)
and govern it. The impression which
generally prevails, that the PROPOSE
ton emanated from congress, is an
erroneous one. The overture was
made to me privately. by men in and

dollars to my credit In any bank I
might name. either in New York or
London. On taking possession of the
City of Mexico our system of govern
ment and police was established,
which, as the Inhabitants themselves
confessed, gave security-for the first
time perfect and absolute security-to
person and property. About two.
ifths of all the branches of govern
ment, including nearly majority of
executive, were quite DESTROYS of hay-

In the course OF the last few weeks the Standard
Oil Company of Louisiana has, through the columns
of this paper given to its readers the facts about the
oil situation in this state particularly it affects the
Pine Island field.
1t was explained first how the demand for fuel oil
fell away abruptly with the end of the and how in
evtaby that off the demand for Pine Island crude,
which, up to that time, had been in demand almost
solely fuel oil.
It was then shown, by the publication of letters
and kilograms, how earnestly the Standard Oil Com
pany of Louisiana tried find other outlets for Pine
Island cruden the refneries not of this country alone,
but of Canada as we'll It was shown how these et-
forts failed because Pine Island crude, owing to its in
herent qualities and characteristics has little to
omend for refining purposes, compared with the
grade crudes from the Caddo and other fields.
It was shown that the only market for Pine Island
crude was as fuel oil and that even here it had
chance compete any large scale with other crdes

made sometimes by direct accusation, sometimes by
innuendo to stir up hostility against the Standard Oil

GERMANS SCHEMED
TREACHEROUS BLOW

BERLIN, July 9.-The German gov
ernment, headed by Philip Seheide-
mann, had planned to refuse to sign
the peace treaty and to permit the
Allied troops to march into Germany
as far as the Elbe, where it would be
attacked by strong German forces. the
Danzig correspondent of the Tage-
blatt declares in a despatch describing
the details of a secret plan to create
a seperate state in Northeastern Ger
many.
The plan failed because of jealousies
and differences of opinion between the
Government and the army leaders, the
correspondent says.
The last proposal made by the con-
spirators planning to oppose tn Allies,
it is said. was to ask Poland to combine
with Eastern Germany in the forma-
ton of an indeendent republic. The
offer. it is declared, was rebuffed by
the Poles, who asked why it had not
been offered ten years ago.

SHARK MEAT Is TASTY

Shark meat is delicate in flavor
and texture and sharks are plentiful
in certain parts of Florida, but the
fishermen do not catch them because
they are not salable.
The home demonstration agent of
Monroe County. Florida, decided last
winter on an effort to establish in
favor this fish now under the ban.
At her request a fisherman caught
one, but warned her that no one
would eat it. Undismayed, she in
vite1 a large company of women to ii
home economics luncheon. at which
was served a fish salad.
When all had tasted the salad she
asked for vote as to how many liked
and wanted the recipe. Without ex-
ception the women voted their hearty
approval, and thus proved to them
selves that the prejudice was without
foundation.
