UmiteU StotM Will Not Take a Single Backward Step, According'to Ad- arialatratioa Offlciala—Wilson and Brfwa Do Not Wish to Lift the Em bargo oa Arms. President Wilson’s cabinet stands firmly behind him in his efforts to force the retirement of Provisional President Huerta as a necessary step to the pacification of Mexico. For more than two hours Tuesday the cabinet discussed every phase of tffe Mexican situation and the concensus of opinion was that the United States government should not take a single backward step in its announced pro gram looking to the restoration of constitutional government in the Southern Republic. Though cabinet members after ward were reticent about expressing their views, it became known that all favored steps which would convince Huerta that the United States was in earnest in its demand that he elim inate himself from the situation. On the nnextion of raising the embargo on arms, the cabinet members ex- pres«ed various opinions. Some of them re^ognixed in this method a prsrtksl and perhaps early solution the lihVulty but there was no final ^^islon. j^^NTfiere is a hope on the part of both ^We president and Secretary Bryan that a measure so radical as permit ting exportation of arms may not be required to solve the problem In fluence* are at work which, tn the opinion of many officials may force the eerly enltapee of the Huerta reg Ime There la a closer understand In*, for Instance and more frequent eommiatcatlon between the State de- pa rt m en t and fore gn govemmenta feoernlly than has been In evidence a*, ajst I'm* •'nee the Hei|r*n prnV tern hernme •<> widely Internal lor. a!

Only Male College la the State That Requires Fourteen Unite for En- trance la Freshman Claae. In discussing the colleges and the high schools in his annual report, Prof. W. H. Hand says: ’’As mediums for conveying to the general public accurate and definite information about the colleges them selves and their working attitude to ward the high schools, the college catalogues of 1912-13 are far ahead of those of any former year in many a day, perhaps in their history. The fuller date contained in them will be appreciated by the school men throughout the State and by a large percentage of these catalogues are real contributions to the educational status of the State. I congratulate both the colleges and the people. “Of the twenty colleges in the State, nearly every one gives definite ly what its entrance requirements are by subjects and in the aggregate. Only one catalogue fails entirely to state its minimum entrance require ments. This leaves the high schools and patrons of this college unin formed as to the preparation requir ed. “The catalogues show the work un dertaken in the colleges by years In the main, this information Is stated with clearness. In a few of the cata logues the reader has to make some cross references to get at all the facts hut this is due to a rather un happy compilation of the data. “Sixteen of the twenty colleges have preparatory departments, under one name or another The prepara tory work is stated with more or leas fullness by all the college*, except Anderaon.

New berry College comes next with thir teen units. The College of Chsrles ton. South Carolina University and other male colleges In this State re quires from ten to eleven and a half units for entrance into their fresh man classes. This gives Wofford the highest curriculum of any male col lege In the State, with Newberry a close second. All the male colleges In the State should raise their atand- arda to fourteen unite.

The shores of Lakes Superior, t Hu> ron and Erie Tuesday night were strewn with the wreckage of a three- days’ gale ana snow storm, which cost the lives of probably three score persons, turned bottom-up in midlake a 300-foot vessel with its ^crew, wrecked or grounded numerous other craft and caused a property loss as yet unestimated, but which will run Into the millions. Details of the storm, which swept from the west ern end of Lake Superior, eastern shore of Lake Erie, became known only Tuesday, when survivors began arriving in various ports with tales of hardships and heroic rescues sel dom equalled on the Lakes. On land the storm hit hardest at Cleveland, O., where twenty-four inches of snow fell, five persons were killed and ten others lost, and where $2,000,000 damage was caused to property, chiefly telephone and tele graph systems, thus peeping that city out of direct communication for two days.

First news of a great typhoon which swept the islan dof Guam and threw the Collier Ajax ashore, Thursday came to the navy depart ment in a report from Lieut. Com mander Alfred W. Hinds, governor of the island and commandant of the naval station there. Hospital Stew ard George M. Nicholson was drown ed. The storm demolished native houses and destroyed roads, wharves, lighters and telegraph and telephone lines. The collier was severely dam aged, but her hull is intact. As her machinery can not be repaired at Guam, the commander of the AMatic fleet probably will send a vessel to tow her to Olongapo. ♦ ♦ ♦ When a man confronted with some difllculty says it can’t be overcome and gives up without trying he is bound to be a failure.
