Through the Elimination of Huer*

# Pan-American diplomacy Saturday
night made its iirst attempt to solve
k the Mexican crisis by peaceful negoB
tiation. The United States govern/
ment accepted from Argentine, Brazil
and Chile a formal oiler to act as
intermediaries in the nrpm>nt

tion, but reservedly pointed out that
an act of aggression by the military
forces, or hostile demonstrations towards
Americans, might upset hopes
of immediate peace.
Coincidentally with the acceptance
of the mediation offer, administration
ollicials announced there would be
no cessation of preparations by the
army and navy for future emergencies,
and no orders would be issued
to the naval forces at Vera Cruz or
the ships at sea, changing original
f plans. No further steps, however, to
secure reparation for the indignities
which gave rise to the present situation
will be attempted while the effort
is being made to bring about a
settlement through diplomacy.
Although the offer made by the
three South American countries did
. not reveal their plans, It was learned
* that they contemplate a broad settlement
of the Mexican problem
through the elimination of lluerta,
upon which the United States has insisted
from the beginning. Notification
of tlie offer of intermediation
was sent not only to the diplomatic
representatives of Argentine, Brazil
W' and Chile in the City of Mexico, but
to Gen. Carranza and the Constitutionalists
in northern Mexico.
The Brazilian, Argentine and Chilean
envoys transmitted the United
States acceptance of their proposal to
the Spanish ambassador who imme
^ diately sent it by cable to the Span
ish legation at the City of Mexico
for presentation to (Jon. Huerta.
The text of the offer made by the
Rrazilion ambassador and tlie ministers
from Argentine and Chile and
the reply of the American government
transmitted by Secretary Bryan
i in person to tho three diplomats is
} 0 as follows:
"Mr. Secretary of State:
"With the purposo of subserving
the interest of peace and civilization
in our continent, and with the utmost
desire to prevent any further
bloodshed, to tho prejudice of tho
cordiality and union which have ala
ways surrounded the relations of the
? governments and the people of America,
we, tho plenipotentiaries of
Brazil, Argentine and Chile duly
authorized hereto, have the honor for
tho peaceful and friendly settlement
of the contlict between the United
States and Mexico.
? "This offer puts in due form the
suggestions which we have had occasion
to offer heretofore on this subject
to the secretary, to whom we renew
tho assurances of our highest
and most distinguishd consideration.

The president is deeply confident
of the friendliness, the good feeling
and the generous concern for the
peace and welfare of America mani^

her republic and our people, and the
happiness and prosperity which can
spring only out of frank, mutual understanding
of the friendship which

CONGRESSMAN LEVER j
WORKS FOR FARMERS <

We copy the article below from a
recent issue of The Country Clentle- 1
man: \
The moment had arrived for the <
first gun to be fired in defense of the ]
Farmers' Money Hill. The House ]
doors were closed, the pages ran ]
hither and thither to round up the j
members, and the clerk called the
roll. There was a quorum present. ?
"The House is in Committee of the
Whole House on the State of the <,
Union for the purpose of further consideration
of the bill H. R. 13679," ,
announced tho chairman.
The clerk read the bill. A wiry ,
little man jumped up and was recognized.
The lighting representative
from South Carolina, tho man behind
the Farmers' Money Hill, had tho
floor.
"Mr. Chairman," Representative
Lever began, "at breakfast this morning
I happened to overhear a remark
made by one of those two-by-four
know-it-alls that set me thinking. \It
was this: 'No class of people in this
country except the farmer and the
criminal can get any money from the
Federal government for any purpose.
Do you know that there is appropriated
$r,0,000,000 a year for the farmers
of this country?
"lie had a good face, was well
dressed, and seemed to be a man of
intelligence, but his asinine display
of Ignorance, uttered with the arrogance
of apparent information, made
me propound to myself the query: 'It
is possible that such gross ignorance
is prevalent generally among the people
with reference to what the Federal
governmnt. is doing for agriculture?'
"Mr. Chairman, instead of expending
$1)0,000,000 a year for the agriculture
of this nation, the fact that
the expenditures of the Department
of Agriculture that go in direct aid
to the farmer, and to him alone,
amount to only $9,G00,000 annually!
"The bill that we are about to consider
appropriates in round numbers
$2.r),000,000, including permanent appropriation
for the department is used
in its regulatory, police and quarantine
work, while only thirty-eight
per cent, is used in aid of the greatest
occupation of the people of this
county.
"In the face of such facts, and with
an understanding of what the research
and demonstration work of
this department mean to the people
of the country, is there one bold
enough to repeat the charge that this
committeo has been unduly liberal in
its attitude toward this work? For
myself I have no apologies to make;
I am prepared to defend every item in
this bill as a wise investment of public
funds.
"The appropriation provided in
this bil! is a mere bagatelle, inconsequential
in comparison with our
appropriations for other purposes.
What will a comparison snow? You
will appropriate for the support of
the army this year $94,000,000 in
round numbers. This means that every
time you appropriate one dollar
to aid in the development and encouragement
of the oldest occupation
of mankind you' are appropriating
ten dollars for the maintenance and
support of the army."
hooking Into the Future.
"You are spending more this year
to maintain this little square of ten
miles in the District of Columbia
than you are appropriatng for the
agriculture of the entire country. You
are spending more for the maintenance
of the wards of this nation, the
Indians, than >ou are appropriating
this year for the encouragement of
the agriculture of the country. You
will very likely appropriate $140,000,000,
in rojLind numbers, for the
support of the navy this year. This
means that every time a dollar is expended
to help the farmers to keep 1
their corncribs and smokehouses and
to feed the people of this nation you
aro spending fifteen dollars for your
navy.
"You will spend $ 1 80,000,000. for
pensions this year. T shall not con- :
tinue; but let me call your attention
to tho fact that the total appropria- I
tions for all purposes for the pros- <
ent fiscal year amount to $1,105,- l
000,000, of which amount the paltry
sum of $0,090,000, or nine-tenths of ]
one per cent of the total, goes to the j
development of tho basic business of }
the country. \
"Is the criticism of this committee I
?that it is over-liberal to tho De- <
partment of Agriculture of this coun- I
try?to be continued in tho face of ]
such facts? I should life to com- :
mend to such critics the facts that <
tho total agricultural capitalization
of this country is moro than $-12,- (
000,000,000. Tho farmers are pro; j
ducing annually moro than $9,000,- }
000,000. j

item rest solely upon its own mm U
uid the character and importance of
.he work contemplated under it.
"Unless 1 am prepared to show
that every dollar recommended for
the work of the Department of Agriculture
will bring returns to the people
in the way of improved and more
profitable methods of agriculture,
better living conditions, and a larger
food and clothing supply, I am not
justified in the recommendations that
fire contained in this bill.
"My study of the economic situation
in this country, and of the unmistakable
tendencies clearly apparent
to students of these conditions,
furnishes the justification for this
call your attention to certain tendencies,
certain danger signals that
bill. I ask your indulgence while I
bid us stop, look and listen.
"In 1880, 70.5 per cent of the population
of the United Stntes wna
classed as agricultural. In 1910 only
r?3.7 per cent of that population was
so classified. Even these figures are
misleading, for the fact is that only
2 8 per cent of our people actually
live upon the farm. The drift of population
from farm to city is unmistakable,
and if the tendency continues
unchecked the number of people
living 011 the farm fifty years hence
will be negligible in comparison with
the total population.
"I venture into the Held of prophecy
to the extent of saying that fifty
years hence less than twenty per
cent of our people, unless present
tendencies are arrested, will be called
upon to feed and to clothe the remaining
eighty per cent. It is a stupendous
task; can they do it?
"Why this drift of population from
farm to city? Why are our boys and
girls leaving the farm, turning their
backs upon the old homestead, with
its tender memories and hallowed associations,
to cast their lot among
strangers in our great unsympathetic
cities, where competition is keen and
pressing.
"They are leaving because the opportunities
for intellectual, social
and financial well-being furnished by
the cities are better than can be had
in the country; because the educational
facilities of the city are better
than those of the country; because
communication in cities is easier,
quicker and batter than it is in the
country; because they believe that
city life affords greater remuneration |

thought to ho monotonous, irksome
an<l ill-rewarded.
"Shall we exert ourselves to check
this tendency or shall we stand by
and permit it to go on until our cities
have become crowded and our rural
communities deserted? To mo the
deserted homestead presents the evidence
of a tragedy, and is suflicient
incentive to arouse my utmost enthusiasm
and effort in behalf of the
betterment of rural conditions.
"I would commend to you tho
beautiful lines of Goldsmith in The
Deserted Village:
"111 fares the land, to hastening ills a
prey,
Where wealth accumulates, and men
decay;
Princes and lords may flourish, or
may fade?
A breath can make them, as a breath
has made;
Hut a bold peasantry, their country's
pride,
When once destroyed, can never be
supplied.
"Let us take a look fifty years
hence?a short period in the life of
a nation, less than the span of a human
life?and see what is before us.
The population of the United States
during the last census period increased
twenty-one per cent. If that increase
continues?and there is no
reason why it will not continue?the
population of the United States in
1000 will be 238,000,000, an increase
of 150 per cent.
"Now let us see. In 1010 each
man, woman and child in this country
had available ninety-one pounds of
beef. If the ratio of decrease continues
for fifty years as it has during
the past ten years, then each man,
woman and child in the country will
have available only sixty-one pounds
of beef,or a decrease cf thirty-three
per cent.
"In 1010 the per capita supply of
pork available was eighty-nine
pounds. If the decrease for the next
fifty years in pork production continues
as great as it has been during
the last ten years, the available per
capita amount nf of
rk. IV I. IU? Willi or
fifty years will bo thirty-four pounds,
fn like manner at tho end of fifty
pears we shall have only three pounds
3f mutton per capita. 1
"Yet gentlemen complain that we
mrry in this appropriation bill a few
hundred thousand dollars to encour- ,
igo tho people of the country to erad- (
icate disease from meat-producing
inimals and to encourage sections of
this country that are not producing (
beef and pork and mutton to go into ,
the production of these commodities,
[s it a wise complaint? Is It a just
iriticism?
"Wo appropriate something liko <
?G00,000 for tho eradication of disjaso
from animals. Listen! Tho loss ,
'rom animals diseases in this coun- i
ry, as estimated by tho Agricultural (
Department, annually amounts to
?212,85 0,000.
"Two hundred and twelve million
lollars a year lost from diseases in
.ho meat-producing animals of this ,
:ountry, and yet gentlemen complain
that the Committee on Agriculture is
ramming its hands into the Treasury
up to lie elbow, drawing out money
for tlie support of the Department of
Agriculture. It makes me weary!
"You could afford, if you could
save that $212,000,000 of annual
loss, to spend $35,000,000 a year
building railroads in Alaska or your
$140,000,000 a year for your big
navy or your $94,000,000 a year for
your big army. Again I say it makes
mo weary, because I feel that the
critics of this bill have never studies
the facts, or can not distinguish between
an investment and an expenditure.
*'
A member of the House jumped to
his feet and rececived recognition.
"Docs not the gentleman believe that
in modern civilization we are working
at cross purposes?" he asked.
"For illustration, does not the gentleman
know that in many large cities
we have booster clubs, whose busiTIOSS

inviting them to go from tHe town to
the country?"
The Farmer to Defend the Nation.
"I think theso people?the folks
who are trying to get the people from
the country to the county?ought to
be put into an insane asylum," snapped
back the South Carolinian.
"I never heard of a boosters' club
in any city," volunteered another
member, "except, perhaps, to boost
the idle of unemployed population
that we have in the city into the
country, and make them earn their
living on the farm, where they are
needed."
"What is the gentleman's town?"
an Ohio member asked.
"It is a little town on the Hudson
River called New York," answered
the other. "Perhaps the gentleman
from Cincinnati has heard of it.'*
"Let me proceed," begged Mr.
Lever. "I want to ask those who
may complain about this bill and
about what the Federal governmen'
is doing for the farmer, if they have
ever stopped to consider the other
side of the question, what the farmer
is doing for this government.
"lias that proposition ever occurred
to these gentlemen? I want to
say that the perpetuation of representative
government, the continuance
of our present system, depends
more upon the prosperity, happiness,
wealth, education, conservatism and
patriotism of tlio American farmer
than upon any other factor.
"In the past he has been the nation's
defense. In the future he
must he the bulwark to protect it
against the unrest and the anarchy
of your great city centers. I stood
in the gentleman's home city one
morning, and looking across Madison
Square I saw hundreds and hundreds
of people who had spent tlie night in
tlie open, some of them lying on the
rustic benches, some underneath with
nothing but an evening newspaper for
a pillow.
"And I said to myself that if the
red (lag of anarchy ever goes up in
tliis country it will go up from the
idle classes of our great cities; that
if this nation is to be preserved, if
our flag is still to float in majesty,
it will have to be preserved and kept
floating by the boys and girls and
the men and the women back down
in the hills and in the valelys of
South Carolina and on the farms
throughout the length and breadth of
this great land of ours."
In congress they are still talking
about the speech made by the South
Carolina representative who defended
th Farmers' Money Bill. Senators
camo across to the House to hear
him make it. It was a great speech,
backed by the most formidable array
of facts and figures imaginable.
The committee has pledged itself to
fight to the last ditch for every cent
contained in the bill. Let us leave it,
then, in the hands of its defenders in
the Ilouso and in the Senate, and
later see how well it stood the fray
and in what condition it was when it
went to the president.

Vera Cruz Sunday was umler martial
law. Hear Admiral F. F. Fletcher,
commanding the American naval
forces 011 shore, Sunday issued a
proclamation to this effect, and the
last opportunity Mexicans had for
handling their own affairs in Vera
Cruz under their own laws disappeared.
Admiral Fletcher and his staff determined
there should he no more
quibbling with the Mexican officials
regarding form of government and
until further notice residents of this
port will live and be judged by military
law. The word has gone forth
that disorder and unruliness in any
form shall receive swift and severe
punishment. This proclamation makes
Hear Admiral Fletcher absolute ruler
ashore.
It is believed martial law will open
the way for more of the city and federal
employees to return and co-operate
111 restoring the local government
functions. Mexicans point out
that these men now will be in a position
to explain to their friends and
the existing government at the capital
that under martial law, they felt
obliged to return to their work.
An order that all arms be turned
in by residents by noon brought to
the headquarters of the provost marshal
bushels of small arms and stacks
of rifles. The city was quiet Saturday
night, and if there was a sniper
in action the fact was not reported
to division head luarters. Many Mexican
officials have reported their willingness
to resume their duties of office
under the supervision of the
Americans.
The efforts of Hear Admiral Fletcher,
supplemented by those of the British
commander, Rear Admiral Sir
Christopher Craddock, and the
French and German consuls and private
citizens, to bring about the departure
from tho interior of all foreigners
who wish to leave, are being
continued energetically, but the hope
of getting out more than a small part
of those left is diminishing hourly.
Federal Gen. Maas has established
his headquarters at Soledad, 1(5 miles
from Vera Cruz, and his men are
tearing up the railroad tracks. The
gap between Tejera, the water supply
station, which is guarded by the
Americans, and Soledad, has grown,
and it is no simple task for refugees
to get themselves and their belongings
across the open space.
Lieut. Frank J. Fletcher of the
battleship Florida, is in charge of
the train which is being run from
Vera Cruz to the break in the road
and on every outgoing trip tho train
carries a small detachment of armed
men in addition to a machine gun.
The train has been within sight, at
various times, of outposts or scouting
parties of Gen. Maas' forces, hut
so far there has been no hostile act.
No initimation has been received
that Huerta proposes to release tho
Americans, some of the women and
children, held at Cordeba, Orizaba,
Pachuca, Aguas Calientes and other
places. Former railway men, Americans
and a few Mexicans, including
aumu ui L1113 omcers or the National
Railway system, who were discharged
by Gen. Huerta, havo offered their
services to Rear Admiral Fletcher for
any use he may see fit to make them.
A communication has been sent to
Gen. Maas, asking him to permit the
operation of trains from the south
over the Vera Cruz and Isthmian
road for a brief time, that Mexicans
who desire to reach that part of the
country shall have the opportunity
to do so, and that Americans isolated
in that district may bo gotten
out.
The consulate is receiving upwards
of one hundred telegrams a day asking
for information of American residents.
Consul Canada has created a
special bureau to make such investigations
and to answer telegrams.
Roth the navy and stato departments
are eager for official news and
the fleet and tho consular ollico have
been bombarded with orders for minute
details. This ofllcial information,
added to tho mass of private i
messages and tho enormous volume
niA*?A nAi.fw"-'-?
L.vio nuwnpupur correspondents, has
resulted in so clogging the tbreo
cables to the outside world that its
transmission, except with many
hours' delay, is very nearly impossible.
Twenty more corespondents
are said to bo on their way aboard
the transports.
The food supply problem must bo
relieved soon, and plans are making
to open the Alvaredo railroad, a short
lino running south into the garden
and poultry district.

MAT SEE REAL WARFARE
VOLl'NTKKR BILL IWMu.ES OLD
OBSTACLES IN Til K LAW.
?
I'mler Measure Recently Passed President
is Km powered to Apindnt All
Officers.
There is a chance for volunteer
troops who want war to soon see the
real thing. Defects in the old law
for raising a volunteer force in time
of actual or threatened war are believed
to have been eliminated by the
bill just passed by the Senate. The
bill, which had already passed the
House, was passed by the Senate
with several committee amendments.
It is specially provided that tho
volunteers shall bo mustered out as
soon as practicable after the president
shall have issued his proclamation
announcing the termination of
the war, or tho passing of the emer
gency or imminence of war. Heretofore
there was no provision as to
who should deride when the services
of the volunteers were no longer
needed, although th maximum term
of enlistment was set at two years.
The president is authorized to appoint
all the otlicers of the volunteer
forces instead of having the regimental
and company ollicers appointed
by the governors of the States and
territories. The measure provides
for the additional otlicers necessary
for efficient recruitment of all arms,
corps, and departments; depots for
the enlistment and training of recruits
are to be established and transfers
of disabled officers and men bo
made to these depots from organizations
in the field in exchange for ablebodied
officers and men from the depots.
In this way, the organizations in
the field may he kept full of ablebodied
fighting troops, while at the
same time the service of partly disabled
men may not ho lost. Provision
is also made for the employment
of retired officers and enlisted men
for recruiting duty. Raising of the
volunteer forces under the bill is by
proclamation of the president, which
shall state the number of men desired
for each arm, corps and department,
within such limits as may
be fixed by law.
Some interesting figures were presented
in a letter from the war department.
These figures show that
during the five principal wars in
which the United States has been engaged
of the total number- r?f
[enrolled 7.5 per cent, were furnished
by the regular army, GO.7 per
cent, were volunteers, and 2 2.8 per
cent, were militia, rangers and emergency
men.
