Washington, D. C President Wil
son accepted the proposal of Argen
tina, Brazil and Chile that they be al
lowed to mediate between the United
States and Mexico for the purposo of
ending the present conflict.
President Wilson made clear In his
acceptance .that tho United States
would be ready, whilo the attempt for
peace was being made, to quickly meet
any armed force which' Ilucrta n-tght
see fit to use, or punish lmmedlaiely
any killing of American citizens In
Mexico.
Events In Mexico do not augur well
for the succers of mediation, but the
President takes the position that the
United States can afford to take the
first step by showing Its willingness to
do anything to prevent bloodshed,
whilo standing firm to the edict that
tho insults to the American flag by
Ilucrta must be avenged.
During the move for peaco tho
United States will make no further
Invasions of Mexican territory and will
hold to a tentative truce, unless forced
to the use of arms by Ilucrta.
No troops will bo withdrawn, how
ever, and preparations for war will
continue. Orders to ships now pro-
ceedlng south will not bo changed and
officers of the Army and Navy, now
at me rronr, win be allowed to use
their own discretion In any situation
which may arise.
The mediators have several alterna
tive plans. They wish to get a com
plete apolopy from Ilucrta for Insults
to the American flag at Tamplco or to
eliminate Ilucrta from the situation
entirely, or to bring the Constitution
alists and Federals together and re-establish
constitutional government In
Mexico, which would likewlce elimi
nate Huerta.
Official Washington Is skeptical of
mediation proving successful.
The Offer Of Mediation and President
Wilson's Acceptance.
The offer mado by the three coun
tries Is as follows:
"Mr. Secretary of State:
"With the purpose of subserving the
Interest of peace and civilization in
our continent In all confidence and
with the earnest desire to prevent any
further bloodshed to the prejudice of
the cordiality and union which have
always surrounded the relations of the
governments and the people of Amer
ica, we. the plenipotentiaries of Brazil,
Argentina and Chile, duly nlthorlzed
hereto, have the honor to tender to
your Excellency's Government our
good offices for the peaceful and friend
ly settlement of the conflict between
the United States and Mexico.
"This offer puts In due form the
suggestions which we have had occa
sion to offer heretofore on this subject
to the Secretary, to whom wo renew
the assurances of our highest and most
distinguished consideration.

The reply of tho President, made
through the Secretary of State to the
diplomatic representatives, was as fol
lows:
"Tho Government of the United
States Is deeply sensible of tho friend
liness, (ho good feeling and the gen
erous concern for tho peace and wel
fare of America manifested In the
Joint note Just received from your Ex
cellency tendering the good olllces of
your Government to effect, Is possible,
a settlement of tho present dllllculty
between tho Government of the United
States and those who now claim to rep
resent our sister Republic of Mexico.
"Conscious of the purposo with
which the proffer is made, this Gov
ernm'ent does not feel at liberty to
decline it. Its chief interest Is In the
pence of America, tho cordial Inter
course of her republic and their peo
ple and the happiness and prosperity
which can spring only out of frank,
mutual understandings and the friend
ship which Is created by common pur
pose. "The generous offer of your govern
ments Is therefore accepted.
. "This Government hopes most
earnestly that you may find thoso who
speak for the several elements of tho
Mexican peoplo willing and ready to
discuss terms of satisfactory and,
therefore, permanent settlement. If
you should find them willing, this
Government will ho glad to take up
with you for discussion In the frank
est and most conciliatory spirit any
proposals that may be authoritatively
formulated and will hope that they
may pro'o feaslblo and prophetic of a
new day of mutual co-operation and
confidence In America.
"This Government feels bound In
candor to say that Its diplomatic rela
tlons with Mexico being for tho pres
ent severed It Is not possible for It
to make sure of an uninterrupted op
portunity to carry out the plan of In
termediation which you propose. It Is,
of course, possible that some act of ag
gression on tho part of those who con
trol the military forces of Mexico
might obllgo tho United States to act
to tho upsetting of the hopes of Im
mediate peace, but this docs not Justify
us in hesitating to accept your gen
erous suggestion. We shall hope for
tho best results within a brief time,
enough to relievo our anxiety lest most
lll-conhldered hostllo demonstrations
should Interrupt negotiations and dls
appoint our hopes of peace."

Washington, D. C Spanish Am
bassador lMauo received advices from
Mexico City ciallng that General
Ilucrta had nccepiod tho offer of Ar
gentina, Bra7.ll and Chile to use their
good olllces to bring nhout nn amicable
settlement of the dllllculty between the
United States and Mexico.
Tho Interests of tho Ilucrta Govern
ment In the United States were taken
up by tho Spanish Embassy when
Charge d'Affaires Algara asked for his
passports and left Washington for
Canada.
Ambassador Rlano received tho offer
of good olllces from the three peace en
voys after tho offer had been accepted
on the part of the United States by
President Wilson. It was cabled at
once to tho Spnnlsh Minister at Mexico
City and by lilin presented to President
Huerta.
When the formal acceptance from
Mexico City Is In hand the South
American diplomats will be ready to
proceed with their plan, no intima
tion of the nature of which as yet
has been given.
It has been generally understood
here, however, that the peace envoys
expect to deal directly with the situa
tion created by the resentment by tho
United States Government against the
Tamplco Incident and other offenses
against Its honor and dignity, hoping
to bring about a peaceful settlement.
Administration ofliclals here appear
ed to be much gratified at the pros
pect of having the proposals of the
great South Amerjcnn republics lis
tened to by General Ilucrta. Until the
nature of the plan Is known, no odlcer
of the Administration will have any
comment to make.
AIRSHIP FLIES OVER VERA CRUZ.
THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS
The Huerta officials and Admiral
Fletcher arranged for tho safe depar
ture of Americans from the Mexican
capital and the free .exodus of Mexi
cans from Vera Cruz.
The mediators resented public re
ports that one of the underlying pur
poses of their good olllces was to bring
bout the elimination of Huerta.
Many American refugees were taken
from trains and imprisoned at Aguas-callentes.
Acceptance of good offices is ln no
way binding on either party to agree
to any .conditions, but it opens a way
for discussion of proposals of mediation.
Plans were considered for mobiliza
tion of the National Guard under the
Volunteer Army act ln tho event of
necessity to raise a volunteer force.
The Japanese Premier announced
that Japan has no Intention whatso
ever of utilizing the present trouble
between the United States and Mexico
to secure from the United States a
satisfactory settlement of tha Califor
nia difficulty.
Naval Aviator Circles Outskirts and
Observes Position Of Mexicans.
Vera Cruz. An aeroplane from the
American fleet made a flight over Vera
Cruz. On attaining an altitudo of sev
eral hundred feet tho naval avlntor
circled the city and then passed over
tho outskirts and observed tho position
of the Mexicans Federal forces. Ameri
can nnval officers on duty ln the city
became convinced after an Investiga
tion of the sniping that they had to
deal with a secret organization which
posts snipers after dark at poiuVt
where their flro Is most effective.
Mexicans desiring to reach tho In
terior from Vera Cruz are to be ex
changed for Amerlcnn refugees who
wish to reach tho coast.
Admiral Fletcher's declaration of
martial law at Vera Cruz Is approved
by ofliclals hero who reallzo his dllll
cullies with housetop sharpshooters
and concealed enemies. Whilo ex
tremo measures will bo adopted to en
force order ln Vera Cruz, to hold the
waterworks and necessary points In
the vicinity of the city, to insure pro
tection of the Inhabitants, no further
steps ofaggresslon will be taken whilo
peace plans are being considered.

GUNS BEGIN TO POP IN ARIZONA.
Armed Mexican Start For the Border
Robbing As They Go.
Nogales, Ariz. A raid of armed
Mexicans on tho United Stntes sido of
the border occurred about 20 miles
east of Nogales, when a dozen Mexi
cans well equipped with guns, started
from Tatagonla, Ariz., to rob mining
camps on their way to tho border.
Americans from Nogales and surround
ing towns quickly armed themselves
nnd started ln pursuit of the Mexicans.
The orders of the Americans are to
shoot if the Mexicans show light
Americans in tho copper mining region
west of here have been terrorized bjr
the rising of tho Mexicans.
It was said that at least 100 mem
bers of Congress had expressed them
selves in favor of more aggressive
action toward Mexico by the Adminis
tration.
Newspapers at the capital published
stories to tho effect that American
forces at Vera Cruz slaughtered wom
en and children, and called on all
Mexicans to retaliate ln similar manner.
Definite instructions from Admiral
Badger to all American non-combat
ants to leave Vera Cruz by the steamer
Mexico were, posted.
No intimation has been received that
Huerta will release tho Americans,
some of whom are women and chil
dren, who are held at Cordoba,
Orizaba, Pachuca, Aguascalientes and
other places.
Secretary Garrison announced he
had Issued no orders for any further
troop movements and that Army ofU
cers were to use their own discretion
In protecting International bridges on
the border.
The American military authorities In
Vera Cruz consider the situation of
Amorlcans ln the capital and all over
the republic grave.
Many sugges
tions for the heal
ing of souls may
bo found In this
story of tho cure
of a man who was
deaf and dumb.
Notice
The Look
of Jesus "up to
heave n." T h e
heavenward look
Is necessary for
thoso who would
restore sick souls.
Such a look Is
assuring. In this
day when so many
have lost falih In the great facts of
the gospel, wo do not wonder that wo
hear so much of social betterment.
Wo need the vision of God's great
power If wo aro to face with courage
tho deep problems of sin In human
life, rather than bo content witb
physical helpfulness.
The upward look is empowering. If
wo are too busy to pray we imiy ex
pect our strength soon to depart from
Ms. Hut when we read of David Ural
nerd lying on the frozen ground,
wrapped In a bear's skin, spitting
blood as he Iny, but continuing from
sunrise to sunset ln crying to God
we do not wonder at the great bless
ing which came upon the Indians to
w hom he preached.
Such a look Is balunclng. We need
to pray after great undertakings as
well as before them. When a woman
told ilunyan bis sermon was excel
lent, he replied, "Yes, I know It; the
devil told mo so before I left the pul
pit. God sometimes gives us thorns
ln the flesh lest we be exalted above
measure.
The Means
used In the cure are Interesting.
The man was taken aside; perhaps
he would not be Impressed with the
working of God. In tho crowd. Stan
ley becanio a Christian through his
contact with Livingstone and folt that
God had led hi in to Africa, away from
the world, so that he might have time
to think. This Is the secret of many
a sick-bed or sorrow.
thrlst adapted the means to the
need. Dy putting bis fingers In thu
man's cars and putting upon his
lungue tho spittle, which was often
"sed medicinally, he let this deaf man
.uow his purposo to heal him. What
i comfort that many of us who are
not equipped to deal with tho cultured
have peculiar adaptation to deal with
others, and that tho Great Physician
uses menus adapted to the end.
Christ did not shrink from contact
with the sufferer. We cannot pay
someone to do religious work for us
simply because It Is unpleasant. Sam
uel Hadley would put his arms of love
about tho wrecks of humanity that
uno to Water Street mission, even
though ho would have to change bis
clothing when ho went home.
The Sigh
of Christ should not be forgotten:
"Looking up tb heaven he sighed."
Ho saw in the man only an example
of tho world's suffering and sin and
ho sighed over It all.
Men have remedied physical Ills
when they have folt them. John How
ard reformed tho prisons of Europe
after he himself had had an experi
ence of prison life. If we do not sigh
over spiritual needs wo are not likely
to supply them. We must bleed If we
would save. The awfulness of being
without God, without Christ, and hav
ing no hopo, must weigh upon us If
we are to be zealous In snatching men
as brands from tho burning. No cul
turo or refinement should blind us
from the fact that "he that bellevetn
not Is condemned already."
The Cure
had happy results.
It mado tho mnn companionable;
he could converse with his friends
now. The salvation of the soul puts
one Into fellowship with God and witb
his people.
It mado htm useful. He no longer
needed to be dependent upon any
man. Spiritual cure makes us "work
ers together with God" and many tes
tify that they date their true life from
their second birth through faith In
Christ. Jerry McAuloy was a river
thief whose heart God touched whilo
he was Imprisoned in Sing Sing. Ho
became a great blessing to many and
at his funeral tho streets were filled
by men of high and low degree who
came to honor him.
Of courso, it made the man happy.
His tongue doubtless sang aloud In
rejoicing; bis ears were ravished with
the sweet sounds of nature. Wher
ever the gospel goes, music Is born
and the wilderness and solitary places
of human life are made glad. .

The parables of Jesus are marvels
of unity and condensation, yet no no
essary detail Is omitted. This, per
haps his most famous, Is no excep
tion even though It does carry a dou
blo lesson. Who thinks of tho older
brother when this story Is mentioned?
Though designated the "Story of the
Prodigal," we need to remind our
selves that tho word "prodigal" never
onco occurs In tho story. Tho open
ing sentence speaks of a father and
of two sons. It Is really tho parable
of a perfect father, the unveiling of
tho truo heart of God. Against that
background Is set of? a self-centered
son lncklng ln natural affection. Also
alongside the wayward son Is the mis
erly, selfish one who lacked all the
good qualities of bis brother, but who
was truly a wauderer and out of har
mony with God tho Father. In the
background we sen tho citizens of
tho fur country who helped this young
Jew to his place of want, famine and
degradation. Remember, it Is our
Lord speaking to Jews. When the
Gentiles of the far country sent him
to feed swine thoy Insulted him by
compelling hi in to get his living
through an occupation Instinctively
repulsive
First Fruit of Sin.
The father makes equal partition
"divided unto them." (V. 12) though
neither son hnd a 'right to demand n
partition of his estate. At tho bot
tom of the son's request was a desire
to have his own way to bo Independ
ent of God. Ho did not go away from
home at once, though his heart was
already In the "far country."
I. Into the Far Country, vv. 13-16.
Fun Is the first fruit of sin, and that
the son readily found so long as his
money lasted (Hob. 11:25). Hut the
consequences followed closely on Its
trail, for when ho had "spent all" he
began to be In "want." There are
many nttractlvo things about this
young man, but those qualities were
perverted, they lacked control, they
were good servants but bad task
masters. It Is not always physical,
temporal want that comes to the sin
ner, there are deeper and more In
tense longings soul want and soul
hunger. These always como to tie
soul away from God. Ilelng In want
does not mean that a man's w ill h&s
been subdued. Some prodigals In the
most abject temporal need are as
proud as Lucifer, and boast of their
rebellion. So ho "Joined himself to a
citizen of the country." Ho did not
belong there the citizen did. Ho was
set to tho most degrading task Im
aginable for a Jew feeding swine.

II. The Home Coming, vv.. 17-24.
Tho fli Ht step wan for tho son to stop
and really think. That Is where Fat
vutlon always begins In thinking. He
know he was loft, c. g., out of adjust
ment. In the wrong place, out of his
element and llko tho lost Bhi-e,)
"ready to die." Ho saw his condi
tion, niQtiey gone, friends gone, hogs
for companions, no food for his mm-
tennnce. Ho snw his value, lie was
more Important than the servants of
bla father's torao, He saw his fath
er's lovo, already manifested In what
hnd been given him and we fain would
bellevo that when he left homo ho
had the father's urgent plea to re
turn. Ho saw a way to escape from
his present position. All of this after
ho "came to himself." llefore that,
Impenitent, ho was morally Insane,
now he has reasoned, Isn. 1:18. With
his reasoning also came the deter
mination to make a full confession.
"I will say unto him," not alone con
fess his need but tho fact that he had
sinned. This Is the only way for a
sinner to como to God, Ts. 32:3-5
John 1:9; Luke 18:11-H. Ho did
not stop with resolving but "he arose
and came to Ills father," v. 20. Ho ex
pected to apply for a servant's posi
tion, but never had tho opportunity
for tho father saw him "a great way
off" nnd "ran nnd fell on his neck and
kissed him." Notice tho kiss of recon
ciliation was given before he even hnd
chance to confess. In his confes
sion his .first thought Is that he had
sinned against God and then against
his earthly father. Tho father had
not onco forgotten him; ho "had com
passion" even though tho son was un
merciful to himself and to all of his
loved ones. The father kissed him
before ho was washed or otherwise
made presentable. Ills real need was
paramount to that evidenced by his
rags, hunger, or the ravages of his
dissipation. When he did make his
confession (vv. 20, 21), we note no
reference to the matter of his be
coming a servant. It Is doubtful If
the futher gave him an opportunity
to state that part of his resolve. Then
there came forth the "best robe" (Isa.
61:10; Phil. 3:9 R. V.). And a "ring"
the pledge of his sonshlp, Eph. 1:13,
14; Gal. 4:6, and shoes also, Eph.
6:16. Then there was the fatted calf,
feasting and merriment, of which
there was no end. Of his temporal
blessings there was an end, not so of
the spiritual blessings of reconcilia
tion and communion with his father.
We see that It Is the father whose
character Is emphasized. This Is
Christ's great word picture of the
father, his father. It explains, so
far a It Is possible for us, all the
suffering he endured, the compas
sion of his heart and the resolute,
yet profuse, manner wherein he gave
himself to those who were most ln
need.
PAINFUL ECZEMA ON HANDS
IUenville, Iji. "I was troubled with
eczema In my hands for several years
Tho skin would break and look like
It had been cut with a knife and my
hands were so sore I could hardly
bear to put them In water and could
hardly use them. When I used thetn
the blood would run out. They would
heal a little and then they would get
worse than ever again. They were
very painful. The eczema got to
breaking out on my arms in pimples
which Itched nnd burned very badly.
"I used different remedies, also used
all kinds of facial creams and
on my hand4 and arms nnd I did not
get any relief until 1 used Cutlcura
Soap and Ointment. I cured my
hands and eczema with Cuticura Soap
and Ointment." (Signed) Miss Fannie
Mostlller, Oct. 5, 1912.

Animal Idiosyncracles.
Many are the idiosyncracles of ani
mals. Some horses nie afraid of a
dog, Fonie of a bit of paper, some
of a bear, some of a car. I have
known two mules to shy at a Mg yel
low cucumber on a fence, and a cow
we formerly oned could not endure
to see any man's hat removed.
The oldest trick recorded of a rid
ing imlnial Is that of llalaam's ass,
who tried to crush Its rider's foot
against the wall. lilting, pawing and
bolting are also described in the Scrip
tures. A balky team figures In Ksop
and Chauser. That tho horses of
the Saracens used to shy Is shown by
tho traditional Inquiry, "If they
thoupht King Richard was in that
bush?" This same balking, or Jib
bing, In all its varieties Is one of the
most aggravating of vices From "A
Farmer's Noto Took," by C. E. Phelps.

Robbie No, inn, I didn't nsk for two
pieces; I only asked if there wasn't
goln' to be any.
Queer.
There may bo some statesman who
had rather bo right than president,
but there are others who seem to
have no ambition ln either direction.

Housework Is a Burden
It's hard enough to keep houso if in
perfect health, but a woman who is
ue.ik, tired nnd sutlering from an achicg
back has a heavy burduu.
Any woman in this condition has good
cause to suspect kidney troublo. especial
ly Utile kidney action seems disordered.

sands of suffering women. It s tho best
recommended special kidney remedy.
