Washington, April 22.?A decisi< as to whether American troops w be withdrawn from Mexico may reached by President Wilson and li cabinet Tuesday. This was indicate to-night when it was reported fro San Antonio that Major Gener Scott, sent by Secretary of War Bak to investigate the military probler. confronted by General Funston ai his men, might be back in Washin ton in time for his report to be la before the regular meeting of tl cabinet on that day. Secretary Baker declined to d1 cuss the propable meaning of Gen ral Scott's ecision to hasten ba< to the capitol without extending h nu**?i inr inrormanon peyonrt confo ences with General Funston and b officers at department headquartei It is known, however, from bord advices that General Funston fee that he cannot go farther with tl pursuit of Villa than he alreadw lv gone unless he is heavily reinforct and his hands freed to some exte at least in dealing with problems supply and information beyond tl border. General Scott's decision Aturn at once generally was taken 4nean that he had reached the sari conclusion and would so report Secretary Raker. In this connection it Is recalh that Preslent Wilson specifically t jected plans for a more extensi movement in pursuit of Villa mapp< out hv the General Staff immediate after the Columbus raid. The sco] of those plans never has been r vealed, but it generally is understo< that they comtemplated a virtu military occupation of all that pa of northern Mexico In which the ha dits might seek refuge. A big arn would have been required, and tl whole territory would have bei swept thoroughly so that no Vil follower could escape. The administration felt, it h been reported, that any sueh mov ment as this was eertain to lead war with Mexieo. The developme of opposition, to the smaller pnr tlve expedition is held by administr tlon officials to have borne ont th view. This opposition, they poi out. ties developed despite a form announeement by the president hir self that the sole objeet was tl capture of Villa, and that tl soverignty of Mexieo would not 1 Imperilled. There is no reason to believe th the administration changed its viei point. If General Scott reeommem that the expedition either be fre< of the restraints Imposed by I friendly nature and larRelv relnfor ed or withdrawn entirely, the seems little doubt that the latt ma will Kn f aIIah/pH CUUIOr n in uv n/..vr,, STATE DEMOCRATS FOR WILSOl Jj M<H>tlnKN of Ward Clubs in Soul Carolina Towns Pass ltesolutiioi ( Indorsing Administration ar Policies of President?tieneral Sa (start inn (Expressed.

At the present time, when nntash In the form of salts is practically unattainable and when both nitrogen und acid phosphate have advenced In price because of the use of nitrates and sulphric acid for munition purposes, cottonseed meal, which carries all three of the fertilizing elements, becomes of great importance. In recent years Immense quanities of ibis material have gone into fertilizers. approximately l.Ortrt.oOrt tons having been so used in 1013. Cottonseed meal, the residue after the oil has been extracted from cottonseed, is a dry. yellowish powder, having excellent mechanical properties for fertilizer mixtures, and contains about 6.5 per cent of nitrogen, 2 per cent of potash. It is, therefore. nvi-iciuiim 10 specialists of the department, primarily a nitrogenous fertilizer, but under present conditions its potash content is highly important and is a decided factor in determining the price at which the material is sold. In practice, cottonseed meal should be mixed with other ingredients Most of the formulas heretofore pubished have advocated various proportions of acid phosphate and inuate of potash in combination with cottonseed meal. Muriate of potash is to all intents and purposes unpbtainable this year and must heimitted from present consideration. If 1.000 pounds of cottonseed meal ?nd 1,000 pounds of acid phosphate ire mixed, however n ton t results which contains ahout 180 pounds of phosphate acid. 65 pounds if nitrogen, and 20 pounds of potash, rhis is about 9 per cent phosphoric icid, 3.25 per cent nitrogen, and 1 per cent potash, and makes a very latlsfactory mixture for many soils where field crops are to be grown, r'or trucking and gardening, present practice demands a higher content if potash, and the mixture may ba supplemented by the application of unbleached wood ashes if obtainable. Nitrogen in cottonseed meal is not io nutcklv availahle n the form of nitrate. but on the >ther hand, is not so likely to be cached out in times of heavy rain'all. In light sandy soils where caching is rapid the use of organic riaterial such as cottonseed meal is o be preferred in supplying the lecessary nitrogen. Decay of the >rganle material liberates the nitroren gradually and there is much less langer of loss than is the rase when toluble salts, like Chilean nitrate, ire used. Most of the mineral ingredients In ottonaeed meal are recovered in th<nanure if the materia! Is used as a attle feed. The most economical lse of cottonseed meal is. therefore. o reeu it and apply the manure to he land. In this wey the material s made to serve a double purpost European dairymen have for som i : b light large iiuaulties o. Vmeriean cottonseed meal for feed :iK proposes. As the live-stock in In-try develops in our southern fates, doubtless an increasing mount of this material will he dl erted from the fertilizer trade fot -so as stock feed, and at preseniherover possible the practice o eedlng the meal and using tin uanure for fertilizer should be fol owed, rather than the direct appll at Ion of the cottonseed meal to tin and. i?inin 111 miiiniM n I?,., t S APRIL 25, 1MU>. NO EXCUSE TO FIGHT SAVE FOR HUMANITY President Wilson Declares America Was Born to serve the Rest of the World SPE AKS AT D.A.R. CONGRESS Say- It l> a Splendid Thing to llarc a Tfmlil ion of Unselfishness Washington, April 17.?President Wilson, in an address welcoming the Daughters of the American Revolution. gathered here to-day for their annual convention, deflated that the only excuse America ever can have for the assertion of her physical force, is that she assert it in behalf of humanity. He was speaking of the pu nose of the Republic?born to serve the rest of the world just as much as itself? and had just said that the nation will have forgotten her traditions whenever she fights merely for herself under such circumstances as will show that she has forgotten to fight for all mankind, lane <?ro\vs Thinner The president was enthusiastically applauded. When he was introduced by Mrs. William Cumming Story, president general of the organization, the audienee stood and cheered and many of the women waved American flags. The president spoke of the constantly decreasing proportion of the population of the United States who can trace their lineage to those who fought in the American Revolution, and said that this very thing would keep the organization from being "suspected of trying to build up an organization to control the country." "On the contrary," he said, "the spirit in which you formed ?hia r.r ganization was from the first manifest. It was not a spirit of caste or of privilege, but a spirit of reverence for a great tradition, and for my part, I believe that the chief service of a great organization like this is to keep a certain beneficial senti,ment warm and vital in the consciousness of the American people. A Handsome Thing "Trad'tion is a handsome thin; in proportion as we live up to it *f we fall away from the tradition ol the fathers we have changed oui character, we have lost an old impulse; we have become unconscious of the principles in which the life of the nation itself is rooted and grounded. "Therefore, this organization undertook to keep those who feel un ucr ns innuenoe constantly reminded of the circumstances of the birth of tins nation and of the significance of the birth of this nation. That significance was a very singular significance. Xo other nation was ever born into the world with the purpose of serving the rest of the world just as much as It served itself. Purpose of the Nation "The purpose of this nation was in one sense to afford an asylum to men of all classes and kinds who desired to be free and to take part in the administration of a self-governed commonwealth. It was founded in order that men of every sort should have a proof given that a commonwealth of that sort was practieeable, not only, but eouhl win its standard of distinction and power " i..*7 nations in me worm, and America will have forgotten her traditions whenever upon any occasion she fights merely for herself under such circumstances as will show that she has forgotten to fight for all mankind. And the only excuse that America can ever have for the assertion of her physical force is that she asserts it in behalf of the interestJ of humanity. A Splendid Thing. "What a splendid thing it is to have so singular a tradition? \ tradition of unselfishness. When America ceases to be unselfish, she will cease to be America. When she I fnrtrAfo ^ ~ ',l4' .?avw> m'- irauuiDiii 01 devotion t<> tinman rights in general, which gave sprit and impulse to her founders, she will have lost her title deeds t > her own nationality." While the president was speaking. ."in. wimon ana Mrs. Lansing, wife of the secretary of state, sat in >i l>ox near the stage. An effort to have congress virtually abandon its programme for a national preparedness meeting Wednesday night enlivened the opening session. Mrs. Walter Reed, of CaliforI nia, sought to make sweeping changes In the programme, contending that lit did not represent the desires of delegates holding opposing views on the preparedness question. Mrs. Story, the presidential general, rigorously opposed the suggestion and on a vote the programme was overwhelmingly approved as it rtood.
