President Wilson appeared in person | before congress and laid bare to the world the details ot this nations el forts to bring about peace in Mexico; the facts concerning Provisional Presi- Jent Huerta's rejection of the peace proposals and the policy to be pur sued now by this government. The president announced the posi tion of the United States to be as fol lows: No armed intervention. Strict peutrality “forbidding the ex- portation of arms or munitions of war of any kind from the United States to any part of the Republic of Mexico.” In no circumstance to “be the par ' tisans of either party to the contest, that now distracts Mexico, or consti tute ourselves the virtual umpire be tween them.” To urge all Americans to leave Mex- feo at once and to assist them to get away in every possible way. To let everyone in Mexico who as- | sumes to exercise authority know that this government “shall vigilantly watch the fortunes of those Americans who can not get away and shall hold ' those responsible for their sufferings and losses to a definite reckoning.” “That can and will be made plain beyond the possibility of a misunder- Negotiations for the friendly media- | tion of the United States are open to resumption at any time upon either | the initiative of this government or of Mexico. The president counseled self-re- straint and patience, even if more se- rious outbreaks were the immediate result, as he seemed to expect, of the . new policy of this government. Accompanying the president's ad dress, furnished as a printed docu. ment, but not read by the president, was the reply of the Huerta govern- ment rejecting the American propos. als. It was written by Foreign Minister Gamboa, in decidedly caustic terms. It suggested the following alternative policy for the United States: Reception of a Mexican ambassador, in Washington. That the United States send a new to Mexico without re- straint. Strict observance of the neutrality laws and “see to it that no material or monetary assistance is given to the rebels.” Unconditional Huerta government, The occasion had not been paralleled in more than a century. No other president since Washington has ap- | peared before congress regarding for- | eign affairs. i First pointing out that it was his duty “without reservation” to lay be- recognition of the ' fore congress all the facts concerning the relations of the United States with i Mexico, the president outlined what | the United States had done “as a friend and neighbor.” Asserting that this nation was glad to call itself the friend of Mexico, and | hoping for many future occasions to show that disinterested friendship, the | president declared that “we shall yet' | prove to the Mexican people that we know how to serve them without first | thinking how we shall serve our- | selves.” Describing Mexican conditions and the events that led up to the negotia tions just concluded, President Wilson | outlined how ‘war and disorder, de | vastation and confusion seem to | threaten to become the settled for- | tune of the distracted country.” As. friends, he said, this country sould | wait no longer for a solution of things in the sister republic. President Wilson ieaé bis {astruc- tios to John Lind. i “All America cries out for a settle ment,” read the note Mr. Lind bore to Mexico. “A satisfactory settlement : seems to us to be. conditioned on: “An immediate cessation of fighting | throughout Mexico, a definite armis tice solemnly entered into and scru- pulously observed. “Security given for an early and free election, in which all will agree to take part; “The consent of General Huerta to bind himself not to be a candidate for election as president of the republic at this election; and “The agreement of all parties to abide by the results of the election and co-operate in the most loyal way in organizing and supporting the new administration.” The president emphatically praised the execution of his mission by Mr. Lind and said he was led to believe that the Huerta government rejected the American proposals “because the authorities at Mexico City had been grossly misinformed and misled” upon the spirit of the American people in the matter “and upon a mistaken be- lef that the present administration did not speak for the people of the United States.” So long as such a misunderstanding continued the pres- ident asserted that this nation “could only await the time of their awakening to a realization of the real facts.” “The situation,” declared the presi- dent, “must be given a little more time to work itself out in the new cir cumstances.” j He then outlined the position this government should take. Concluding his address, the president predicted that the “steadying pressure of moral force will before many days break the barriers of pride and prejudice down, and we shall triumph as Mexico's friends sooner than we could triumph as her enemies.” When the president finished reading & great roar of applause broke out. All those in the galleries stood while the president left the chamber and started back to the White House. TELLS AMERICANS TO FLEE President Wilson Advises Non-Com. batants to Leave Mexico. President Wilson warned all Ameri. cans to leave Mexivo at once. At the same time the American em- bassy and all consular representatives throughout the southern republic were instructed “to notify all officials, civil and military. in Mexico” that they would be held strictly responsible for harm or injury done to Americans or their property. With the issuance of these dispatch. es the United States entered upon a new relationship with the Mexican re- public. A strict embargo will he main- tained by civil and military officials against the shipment of munitions of war across the border or from any American port into Mexico. The diplomatic agents of this gOv- ernment have heen directed to warn all Americans in Mexico that officials of the United States believe they can remain there no longer with safety, and to urge their immediate with- drawal. T. R. Returns; Got Mountain Lions. Colonel Roosevelt, burned almost as red as the desert Indians among whom be has been sojourning during a part of the summer, arrived in Chicago. He spent less than two hours in the city before taking the Pennsylvania special for Oyster Bay. He was met at the Santa Fe station by Thomas D. Knight, president of the Chicago Progressive Ciub, and a dele- gation of members, and later took a “standing” luncheon conducted on & help-yourself basis at the club. On the way to this function, in an automabile, the colonel was recognized by many persons, and waved his wide- brimmed hat in response to the greet- ng. He said he had enjoyed his vacation and had profited by his studies of In- dian character and custom. Roosevelt said he spent the first fortnight hunting and that the party killed three mountain lions. He said he shot one and his two sons killed the other. He said the only fresh meat the party had on the hunting trip was the mountain lians, and that the meat was delicious. He spent two weeks among the | Navajos, and visited the great natural bridge which spans the Grand Canyon. which he described as a “triumphal arch of nature.” He closed his visit by attending the snake dance of the | priests of the Hopi Indians, whicH, he | said, was extremely interesting. Roosevelt declined to discuss the Mexican situation, saying he was not familiar with present conditions. Postmaster Held For Theft. John S. Wilson, postmaster of Co- lumbia, Pa., and his assistant, Frank G. Payne, were arrested by Deputy Marshal Smith, of Philadelphia, charg- ed with embezzling government funds, the prosecution having been brought by Postoffice Inspector Nichols. Inspector Nichols and Inspector Lu- cas have been investigating the man- agement of the Columbia office for some time. It is charged that Wilson was using government funds to pro- mote the interests of a candy company in which he was concerned. Wilson is also charged with violat- ' ing the postoffice rules in having more than $250 in cash at one time in the office. At times he had as high as $500 and $600, it is charged. Cash bal- ances were “doctored,” it is alleged, by personal checks. Both Wiison and Payne were held in $1000 bail for trial in the United States district court. The amount of the embezzlement charged in the prosecution is $591; Women Would Be Judges. Justice, which heretofore has been allegorically depicted by a woman, al- though dispensed in the courts of the land by males, may come into its own sex, if Governor Hiram Johnson, of California, tends sufficient heed to the applications of Clara Shortridge Foltz and Mrs. Taana Alex, both of Los An- geles, who want to be named superior judges in Los Angeles county. The women will supplement their written indorsement for the pobs they desire in person before the execeutive in Los Anglese. Superior court canditdates for the jobs created by the last legislature are numerous in both Los Angeles and San Francisco. Governor Johnson has announced that he will not make known his appointments until his re turn to Sacramento from the South. Overcome by Lighting Match. When Mrs. Anna R.
