War Will Be Trial
of Woe, Says Taft
New Haven, Conn., April 20.—Twen
ty-flve hundred Yale students took
part last night in a spontaneous dem
onstration favoring war with Mexico.
Ex-President William Howard Taft,
President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale,
and Secretary Stokes addressed the
men, who marched to their homes and
called for speeches on the war.
Professor Taft said:
"There are a great many circum
stances which may yet prevent war.
Every lover of his country ought to
pray that this national calamity may
be averted.
"A high authority has estimated for
me that it would take from 300,000 to
500,000 men a very long time to sub-,
due Mexico, I have had four years of
experience in a country not dissimilar
to Mexico. War in Mexico would be
guerilla warfare, it would be a long
hard Pull, but we would do it.
War with Mexico will be no trail
of glory—lt will be a trail of woe. Not
one of you, when you look back at it
after it was over, would welcome it.
I hope you would greet it with a stern
determination to meet your responsi
bility. Gentlemen, 1 hope God may
avert war."
The demonstration started on the
campus. The gathering crowd later
marched to the home of Secretary
Stokes, who said he hoped "if there
was war it would be speedy." Guns
were shot off. a bugle sounded a
charge for the column up the steep
bill to Professor Taft's house and the
students sang "Damn, Damn, Damn
the Insurrectos" and "Yankee Doo
dle." The Yale football song, "Prince
ton. Good Night," was sung with the
line changed to "Mexico, Good Night."
Senator Chamberlain Asks
$50,000,000 Appropriation
Washington, D. C., April 20.—A bill
to appropriate $50,000,000 to be ex
pended bv the President wus intro
duced by Senator Chamberlain, chair
man of the military affairs committee,
to which the bill was referred.
The Chamberlain bill providos
"That (he President of the United
States be, and he is hereby authorized
to ekpend in his discretion, for the
national defense and for each and
every purpose connected therewith,
the sum of $50,000,000 out of any
moneys in the Treasury not otherwise
appropriated, which sum shall remain
available until expended."
This is identical to the bill passed
before the War with Spain.
Twenty Torpedo Boat
Destoyers Ordered to
Mexican Waters To-day
Pensacola, Florida, April 20.—Or
ders were received early to-day direct
ing the flotilla of twenty torpedo boat
destaoyers here to put.to sea this aft
ernoon, meeting Rear Admiral Bad
ger's fleet in the Gulf and accom
panying it to Tampico. Ofticers said
the destroyers, with two tenders, were
ready to depart.
PRESIDENT WILSON
TELLS OF SITUATION
[Continued From First Page]
sailors had no right to land there.
Our naval commander at the port had
not la-en notified of any swell pro
hibition and, even ir they had been,
the only justifiable course open to the
local authorities would have been to
request the paymaster and his crew
to withdraw and to lodge a protest
with the commanding officer of the
keet. Admiral Mayo regarded the ar
rest as so serious an all rout that he
was not satisfied with the apologies
offered, hut demanded that the flag of
the United States he saluted with
sitet'lal ceremony by the military com
mander of the port.
INCIDENT NOT TRIVIAL
"The incident cannot be regarded
as a trivial one, especially as two of
the men arrested were taken from the
boat Itself —that Is to say, from the
territory of the United States; but hail
it stood by Itself, it might have been
attributed to the ignorance or arro
gance of a single officer. Unl'ortu
natley, it was not an Isolated case. A
series of Incidents liave recently oc
eurred which cannot but create tli<-
impresslon tlita the representatives of
General I Inert a were willing to go out
of their way to show disregard for the.
dignity and rights of this government
and felt perfectly safe in doing what
they pleasde, making free to show in
many ways their irritation and con
tempt,

IV Makes Cooking Easy
George C. Fager tt Sons, Harrisburg
Tampico an orderly from the United
States ship arrested afc
Vera Cruz while ashore in uniform to
obtain the ship's mail and was for a
time thrown Into Jail. An oflicial dis
patch from this government to its em
bassy at Mexico City was withheld bj
the atliorities of the telegraphic service
until peremptorily demanded by our
charge d'affaires in person. So far a»
I can learn, such wrongs and annoy
ances have been suffered to occur only
against representatives of the United
States. I have heard of no complaints
from other governments of similar
treatment. Subsequent explanations
and formal apologies did not and could
not alter the popular impression which
it is possible it had been the object
of the Huertistas authorities to create,
that the government of tile United
States was lieing singled out and might
be singled out with impunity for
slights and affronts in retaliation for
its refusal to recognize the pretensions
of General Huerta to be regarded as
the constitutional provisional presi
dent of the republic of Mexlea.
SUSTAINS ADMIRAL MAYO
"That manifest danger of such a
situation was that such offenses might
grow from had to worse until some
thing happened of so gross and intol
erable n sort as to lead directly and
inevitably to armed conilict, it was
necessary that the apologies of Gen
eral llucrta and his representatives
should go much further, that they
should lie such as to attract the atten
tion of the whole population to their
significance, and such as to impress
upon General Huerta himself the ne
cessity of seeing to it that no further
occasion for explanations and pro
fessed regrets should arise. I, there
lnlral Mayo In the whole of his de
fore, felt it my duty to sustain Ad
mand ami to insist that the flag of the
United States should lie saluted In such
a way as to indicate a new spirit and
attitude on the part of the Huer
tistas.
"Such a salute General Huerta has
refused, and I have come to ask your
approval and support in the course I
now propose; to pursue.
"This government can, I earnestly
hope, in no circumstances be forced
into war with the iieople of Mexico.
"Mexico is torn by civil strife. If
we are to accept the tests of its own
constitution, it has no government.
General Htierta has set his power up
in the city of Mexico, such as it is,
without right and by methods for
which there can be no justification.
Only part of the country Is under his
control. If armed conilict should un
happily come as a result of his atti
tude of personal resentment towards
this government, we should lie light
ing only General Huerta and those
who adhere to him and give him their
support and our object would lie only
to restore to the people of the dis
tracted republic the opportunity to set
up against their own laws and their
own government
: "But I earnestly lioi>e that war is
! not now in question! I believe that I
speak for the American people when I
say that we do not desire to control
in any degree the affairs of our sis
ter republic.. Our feeling for the peo
ple of Mexico is one of deep and genu
ine friendship and everything that we
have so far done or refrained from do
ing has proceeded from our desire to
help tlicm, not to hinder or embarrass
tliem.. We would not wish even to
exercise the good of friendship
without their welcome and consent.
The people of Mexico are entitled to
settle their own domestic affairs in
their own way, and we sincerely de
sire to respect their right. The pres
ent situation need have none of the
grave complications of interference if
we deal with it promptly, tirnily and
wisely _
"No doubt 1 'could do what is neces
sary in the circumstances to enforce
respect for our government without
recourse to the congress and yet not
exceed my constitutional powers as
President: but I tlo not wish to act in
a matter possibly of so grave conse
quence except in close conference and
co-operation with both the Senate and
House. I, therefore, come to ask your
approval that I should use the armed
forces of the United States In such way
and to such an extent as may be nec
essary to obtain from General Huerta
and Ills adherents the fullest recog
nition of the rights and dignity of the
United States, even amidst the dis
tressing conditions now unhuppily ob
taining in Mexico.
"There can in what we do be no
thought of aggression or of selfish ag
grandizement. We seek to maintain
the dignity and authority of the
United States only because we wish al
ways lo keep our great influence un
impuircd for the uses of liberty, both
in the United States and wherever
else it may lie employed for the bene
fit of mankind."

ond Division of the United States

OPEII NEGOTIATIONS
; FOR SUBWHY EIRTH
j Commissioner Lynch Will Take Up
Question as Soon as Bidder
Is Determined ,
Negotiations for acquiring the 150,-
000 tons of excavated earth from the
Front and Second street subways for
"fill" along the River Front between
Maclay and Division streets, will be
opened by City Commissioner W. 11.
Lynch, superintendent of streets and
public improvements, as soon as the
contract has been let by the railroad
company.
"Pennsylvania Railroad officials this
morning advised mo that tliey did not
yet know to whom the contract for
building the subways was to be let,"
said Commissioner Lynch to-day, "but
as soon as I learn who is successful in
the bidding 1 shall open negotiations
with the view of getting the earth for
the city's use.
"The chance is ono that we will not
have again in years, the material will
be Just what we need, the earth will be
In quantities that will be feasible and
practicable for us to take," went on the
Commissioner. "All that we'll need will
be the expenditure of some money to
pay for the hauling of the earth from
the region of the proposed improve
ment to the River Front above Maclay
street. This, of course, is a long haul,
and just what It will cost, I'm not able
to say as yet. We will try to get the
dirt at as reasonable rates as possible,
and I will certainly advise taking ad
vantage of this opportunity.
"The contractor could dump the ex
cavated earth on the lands south of
Paxton street and along the tracks, and
1 suppose this possibility will be figured
upon by the contractor In view of Ihe
fact that a very short haul will be in
volved—merely a question of taking
the teams over the Paxton street
bridge. But I think that if the city can
get this earth at anything like a rea
sonable figure for hauling, it would be
la practicable and economical thing to
do."

Madame Ise'bell
Writ eg of Cold Bath « and
Their Effect on the
Complexion
A correspondent writes asking me If I
, do not think cold baths bad for the eom
; plexion and cites the fact that English
women who habitually use them are apt
to have rough and over-red skins towards
middle age.
I certainly do not think a quick, cold
plunge In the morning bad for the com
plexion; on the contrary, If It agree*
| with the physique. It Is sure to agree
| With the skin. Women with thick, sal
| low skins need a quickening of the clr
i culatlon and this Is best effected by the
I cold bath if one get the proper reaction.
I If the skin looks rosy and there is a
| feeling of warmth and well being through
wit the body, such a bath is a good thing;
If, on the other hand, the cheeks are pur
ple and there are symptoms of a chill,
the temperature of the bath should b#
raised. There are other reasons besides
the cold bath that explain why English
women who have such lovely complexions
In youth become too high colored as years
go on. It is because the skin Itself Is
cruelly neglected.
The average Englishwoman is a Spar
tan In matters of the toilet, and. com
pared to American women, or to the wo
men of any other civilized country,
spends a small part of the family Income
on herself. The moist climate of Eng
land and the athletic life led by all its
young people Is responsible for a race of
rosy cheeked, strong limbed girls, but
these charms neglected cease with youth.
