ENLISTING MANY BIG POWERS
Refugee* Still Flee Mexico—Spread of
Newi of Peaceful Turn of Situa-
tion I* Expected to Calm Down
Anti-Americana.
Washington, April 28.—Formal ac-
ceptance by the Huerta government of
the offer of Argentina, Brazil and
Chile to use their good office* to bring
•bout an amicable settlement of the
difficuty between the United States
and Mexico was cabled to Spaniah
Ambassador Riano here today by
Portillo Y Rojas, foreign minister In
the Huerta cabinet.
Washington, D. C., April 28—The
tenseness of the Mexican situation was
distinctly relieved today as the repre-
sentatives of Argentine, Brazil and
Chile, supported by the pressure from
all Latin-America and from the fore-
most powers of Europe, concentrated
their efforts toward a pacific adjust-
ment of the crisis.
The success of the first steps to-
ward mediation-the prompt accept-
ance by the United States and the
announcement of the Spanish ambas-
sador that Huerta had accepted the
tender of good offices-produced a
feeling of distinct hope which was re-
flected not only in administration
quarters, but in congress as well.
where "war talk" gave way to a spir-
it of conciliation.
Throughout the day. the three South
American envoys, who have under-
taken the task of mediation, held fre-
quent conferences to arrange the pre-
liminaries of procedure.
N-o Details Ytt.
Pending the receipt of the formal
acceptance by Huerta, no proposals
will be submitted to either the United
States or the Huerta government. Also
it has been made plain that no condi-
tions from either party as to the terms
that will be acceptable has as yet
■been formally placed before the inter-
mediaries.
The president and Secretary Bryan
were assured through two separate
diplomatic sources that General Huer-
ta was ready to accept the tender of
good offices and was now drafting a
formal acceptance. Pressure from
Germany, Great Britain and France,
advising Huerta to accept the first
steps toward mediation, and the ap-
proving attitude of Latin-American
countries to the settlement of the con-
troversy by Pan-American diplomacy,
emphasized the world-wide influences
which are working to bring about
peace and avert a conflict of death
and bloodshed.
Getting Refugees Out.
Meanwhile the navy and war depart-
ments are continuing their efforts to
care for refugees and perfecting the
machinery of the army and navy for
unexpected turn in events.
Secretary Daniels announced that he
bad telegraphed the full text of the
mediation offer and its acceptance by
the United States to both Rear Ad-
mirals Badger and Howard with in-
structions to have the commanders of
all ships on the east and west coasts
spread the news throughout Mexico.
By this Mr. Daniels hopes the feeling
toward Americans may be alleviated
and refugees enabled to depart with-
out molestation.
Advices through the British em-
tiassy told of the completion of ar-
rangements for the same departure of
Americans from Mexico City while the
French ambassador gave the state de-
partment a message he had received
from the French legation Baying while
there had been some anti-American
manifestations in the Mexican capital,
order now prevailed.
No Americans Killed.
Secretary Bryan said he was able
after receiving information through
embassies and legations to say that no
Americans had been killed or inured
since the crisis of the last two weeks
begun, and that though many had
been detained at Aguas Calientefc, Cor-
doba and Orizaab. efforts were now
being made to obtain their release.
Orden prevails in Vera Cruz. Briga-
dier General Funston and the army
will be in command of the situation
tomorrow. Expeditionary forces of
marines, who have been detached from
the command of Admiral Fletcher,
"^ATTACK TRAITOR ORATOR.
Riot In New York When Speaker
Says Flag Isn't Fit to Defend.
New York.—An open air meeting in
Park Row. opposite the city hall,
broke up in a riot when a former
United States sailor attacked a speak-
er representing the "anti-military con-
ference." who had shouted nt the top
of his voice: "The American flag Is
not fit to defend" Police reserves
had td u*e their clubs before the
crowd would disperse.
will return in a few days to the fleat
with the marine guards.
"Things look very much Letter now,"
Secretary Daniels said during the day.
"We are getting Americans out of
Mexico. That is the important thing
now."
Stars and Stripes Wave.
Consul Canada reported that a for
ma! raising of the American flag oc.
curred at Vera Cruz at 4 o'clock this
afternoon with impressive ceremonies
Secretary Bryan announced that the
president's recent address to congress
and the full text of the correspond-
ence between Argentina, Brazil and
Chile had now reached all Central and
South American capitals, and that had
it gotten to Montevideo, Uruguay,
earlier the anti-American demonstra-
tion there would have been averted.
'The consensus of opinion in Latin
America," according to a statement
from the Pan-American union here to-
night, "seems to be tljat this action
of Argentine, Brazil and Chile is in
many respects the most significant
and far-reaching event in the history
of the American republics since the
declaration of the Monroe doctrine,
and it is hoped the press and people
of the United States will try to curb
the rising war spirit and give the me
diatlng nations strong moral support
in their efforts for peace."
No Proposals Made.
While Secretary Bryan and govern-
ment officials expressed a disinclina-
tion to discuss the mediation plan dur-
ing its present stage, they said it had
not reached the point of actual ' pro-
posals." The American government
simply has forma'ly expresesed its
willingness to listen to any plan of
intermediation which the representa-
tives of Argentina, Brazil and Chile
may formulate. When formal accept-
ance comes from Huerta, formal pro-
posals will be made simultaneously to
the American government and the
Huerta administration.
The attitude of the administration
has long been established that the
elimination of Huerta was an essential
to any final settlement of the Mexican
problem. This view was reiterated as
recently as Saturday at the white
house, when senators and repre'senta-
tives were consulted as to the proposal
of good offices.
But while maintaining this view as
to what would ultimately be essential
to a real settlement, there has been no
formal submission of such a condition
to the envoys now entrusted with thp
work of conciliation.
Army Talk Holds.
While the Latin-American envoys
bent their energies toward negotia-
tions for peace today, the war and
navy departments directed their activ-
ities toward the bringing of Americans
out of Mexico and the transfer of the
situation at Vera Cruz from the navy
to the army with the arrival of Brlga
die«--General Funston and his army
brigade.
Throughout the day in consular dis
patches to the state department
came reassuring messages
American refugees. Arrangements
were completed for getting all Amer-
icans out of Mexico, and Admiral

A lightship must keep always In
one particular place. Anchored to
the bottom of the sea, she has her
steam always up, but 6he never sails
unless relieved by another ship so
that Bhe may put into port for repairs.
And such a boat Is used because a
warning must be given at a place
where it is Impossible to build a light-
house, and where even the clamor of
a gigantic bell buoy Is not sufficient
to warn the navigator. No matter
how fiercely the storm beats or how
desperate may be the boats' plight,
she must stay at her moorings. The
only movement she is allowed to
make under the regulations Is to Bink
when at last she can withstand the
gale no longer. It would bring them
deserved recognition If the govern-
ment ever published a list of those
who have lost their lives In the line
of such perilous duty. For about
16.000,000 a year these men and their
craft save from disaster the billions

merce that come to American shores.

Aged Should Eat Sparingly.
A British scientist lays down
regimen of hygiene for the treatment
of the aged. It is pointed out that the
aged require less food of all kinds,
because they utilise less. Overfeed-
ing, or rather a normal adult's ration,
overtaxes their digestive powers and
floods the blood with effete products
which the kidneys and other emunc-
tories cannot handle. Drinking water
should be encouraged, and baths,
which should be taken regularly,
should be neither hot nor cold, of
short duration, and preferably in the
evening, when they conduce to a good
night's sleep. Fresh air and exercise
are indispensable. Clothing should
be light, warm, loose and of woolen
material. The feet should be well pro-
tected.

A few hours later the Britons were
speeding down a hill on the Hudson
river drive. Suddenly they spied a
lone cyclist tolling up the incline. He
was pumping hard, but making

Plea for the Hen.
I should like to see the hen on a
plane, at least, with the turkey and
the goose.
She is their superior in every way
except that of size, and yet they have
long held the place of honor on the
Christmas and the Thanksgiving din
ner table, and they have had reams
and reams of poetry written about
them.
But the ben, that most important
of all feathered creatures, who writes
poetry about her? Who even takes
the trouble to know anything about
her early history In America? Who
owned the first hen; when and where
did she land upon ou^ shores?
Why not make amends for our long
years of neglect by making her the
center of the feast on the Fourth of
July? Hereafter let It be our Thanks-
giving turkey, our Christmas goose,
and our Fourth of July hen.—Atlantic.
