Three Pan-American Countries Try
^ to Bring About Settlement
Through the Elimination of Huerta?Government
Hopes "for Best
Results Within Short Time".
Pan-American diplomacy Saturday
1 night made its llrat attempt to solve
V the Mexican crisis by peaceful negogflNk
tiation. The United States govern
meat accepted from Argentine, Brazil
and Chile a formal offer to act as
intermediaries in the present situation,
but reservedly pointed out that
an act of aggression by the military
forces, or hostile demonstrations towards
Americans, might upset hopes
of immediate peace.
. Coinoidentally with the acceptance
^ of the mediation offer, administration
officials 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 force3 at Vera Cruz or
the ships at sea, changing original
plans. No further steps, however, to
0 secure reparation for the indignities
which /?ave rise to the present situation
will ho 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 brdad settle#
ment of the Mexican problem
through the elimination of Iluerta,
upon which the United States has insisted
from the beginning. Notification
of the offer of intermediation
was sent not only to the diplomatic
loifiuouukanvea ui Argenuno, urazil
and Cliilo 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 immediately
sent it by cable to the Spanish
legation at the City of Mexico
^ for presentation to Gen. Huerta.
The text of the offer made by the
Rrazilion ambassador and the minlsIters
from Argentine and Chile and
the reply of the American governy
nent transmitted by Secretary Bryan
|^[ in person to the three diplomats is
as follows:
feptfe "Mr. Secretary of State:
^rW "With the purpose of subserving
the interest of peace and civilization
in our continent, and with the utmost
desire to prevent any further
bloodshed, to the prejudice of the
cordiality and union which have always
surrounded the relations of the

ica, we, the plenipotentiaries of
Braxll, Argentine and Chile duly
authorized hereto, have the honor for
ihe peaceful and friendly settlement
of the conflict between the United
States aal Mexico.
"This dtfer puts in due form the
suggestions which we have had occa)

to the secretary, to whom we renew
the assurances of our highest
and most distingulshd consideration.

Commander of Gorman Warship
Checks Rioting by Threatening to
Land Marines.
The Tamplco situation is so serious,
according to a wireless message
reaching Galveston Saturday
that two torpedo boats were sent up
the Panuco river at Tampico to get
Americans. Refugees arriving from
Tampico Saturday said they were saved
from rioting Mexicans early Wednesday
morning by German soldiers.
me Bi.ury or tue not was told by
Americans on the collier Cyclops,
which anchored at Galveston Saturday.
The trouble started Tuesday night
after the American warships at Tamplco
had left their positions near
short and steamed some miles out to
sea. The refugees said they believed
the warships withdrew because they
had orders not to seize Tampico, and
believed their Immediate presence
might excite the Mexicans. After
dark bands of Mexicans began to parade,
offering insults to Americans
who had withdrawn to the shelter of
the principal hotels In Tampico.
About midnight a mob estimated at
000 began throwing stones at the
Southern hotel, where there were 2 0
or 3 0 American women and some 300
American men, according to the refugees'
estimate. William Hanson, a
former United States deputy marshal
in south Texas, organized the
American men, who had a few rifles
and pistols, for resistance.
Tho Americans, however, had so
little ammunition that they did not
dare open fire, fearing tho Mexicans
would kill them after their cartridges
were exhausted. The mob, embolden,
began pounding on the doors with
clubs and fists. One Mexican fired
through a window, but no one was
wounded.
Capt. von Kohler of the German
cruiser Dresden, the refugees said,
sent officers ashore, notifying the mob
that unless they dispersed within 15
minutes he would land marines. The
mob withdrew.
The German sailors then took the
women from the Southern and from
the Imperial hotels aboard the boats
to ships in the harbor. There was
some rioting at the Imperial hotel,
but not much damage was done.

CONGRESSMAN LEVER
WORKS FOR FARMERS
V/o copy the article below from a
recent issue of The Country Gentleman:
The moment had arrived for the
first gun to be fired in defense of the
Farmers' Money Bill. The House
doors wore closed, the pages ran
hither and thither to round up the
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. 13 679,"
announced the chairman.
The clerk read the bill. A wiry
little man jumped up and was recognized.
The fighting representative
from South Carolina, the man b^Mnd
the Farmers' Money Bill, had*lie
floor.
"Mr. Chairman," Representative
T mr/M. .. It_t 1 i-? i ' ' 1
uctui uvfciiu, UL UIUilK-IUHl II11S 11101*11ing
I happened to overhear a remark
made by one of those two-by-four
know-it-alls that set nio 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
$50,000,000 a year for the farmers
of this country?
"He 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 tor agricul
ture?'
"Mr. Chairman, instead of expending
$5 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 $9,090,000 annually!
"The bill that we are about to consider
appropriates in round numbers
$25,000,000, 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
committee 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
4UU UI11 ?* - *
liwb urn as a wise investment of public
funds.
[ "The appropriation provided in
this bill is a mere bagatelle, inconsequential
in comparison with our
appropriations for other purposes.
What will a comparison show? 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."
Looking 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 you are appropriating
this year for the encouragement of
the agriculture of the country. You
will very likely appropriate $14 0,AAA
AAA l
uuu.uuu, in round numbers, for the
support of the navy this year. This
means that every time a dollar is expended
to help the farmers to keep
their corncribs and smokehouses and
to feed the people of this nation you
are spending fifteen dollars for your
navy.
"You will spend $180,000,000 for
pensions this year. I shall not continue;
but let me call your attention
to the fact that the total appropriations
for all purposes for the present
fiscal year amount to $1,105,000,000,
of which amount the paltry
sum of $9,690,000, or nine-tenths of
one per cent of the total, goes to the
development of the basic business of
the country.
"Is the criticism of this committee
?that it is over-liberal to the Department
of Agriculture of this country?to
be continued in the face of
such facts? I should life to commend
to such critics the facts that
the total agricultural capitalization
of thi3 country is more than $42,000,000,000.
The farmers are producing
annually more than $9,000,000,000.
"But I do not ask that the anoro
priation recorajnended in this bill
shall stand upon invidious comparicons.
I am content to have each
item rest solely upon its own merit
and the character and importance of
the work contemplated under it.
"Unless I am prepared to show
that every dollar recommended for
tho 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
are contained in this bill. <
"My study of the economic situa- t
tlon in this country, and of the un- t
mistakable tendencies clearly appar- <
ent to students of these conditions,
furnishes the justification for this ]
call your attention to certain ten- 4
dencles, certain danger signals that i
Mil. 1 ask your indulgence while I i
bid us 8top, look and listen. 4
"In 1880, 70.5 per cent of the pop- i
ulation of the United States wasl^
classed as agricultural. In 1910 only i
53.7 per cent of that population was i
so classified. Even these figures are 1
misleading, for the fact is that only l
28 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 on the farm fifty years hence
will be negligible in compwuison with
the total population.
"I venture into the field of prophecy
to the extent of saying that fifty
years lienee 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?
i
"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
1 the cities are better than can bo had
in the country; because the educational
facilities of the city are better
than those of tho 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
' for labor; and because country life is
thought to be monotonous, irksome
and ill-rewarded.
"Shall we exert ourselves to check
' this tendency or shall wo stand by
1 and permit it to go on until our cities
iiuvw uecoine crowaea and our rural
communities deserted? To mo the
deserted homestead presents the evidence
of a tragedy, and is sufTicient
' incentive to arouse my utmost en1
thusiasm and effort in behalf of the
betterment of rural conditions.
"I would commend to you the
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 Jbreath can make them, as a breath
has made;
But a bold peasantry, their country's
pride,
When once destroyed, can never be
supplied.
"Let us take a look fifty yearB
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
1960 will be 238,000,000, an increase
of 159 per cent.
"Now let us seo. In 1910 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 of thirty-three
per cent.
"In 1910 the per capita supply of
pork available was eighty-nine <
A ~ to n- * * -
liuuuuH. xi uie aecrease for the next
fifty years in pork production con- 1
tinues as great as it has been during ?
the last ten years, the available per
capita amount of pork at the end of
fifty years will be thirty-four pounds. <
In like manner at the end of fifty s
years we shall have only three pounds 1
of mutton per capita. 1
"Yet gentlemen complain that we s
carry in this appropriation bill a few
hundred thousand dollars to encour '
ago the people of the country to eradicate
disease from/ meat-producing 1
animals and to encourage sections of 1
this country that are not producing 1
beef and pork and mutton to go into
the production of these commodities. ^
Is it a wise complaint? Is it a just f
criticism? (
"We appropriate something like
$600,000 for the eradication of disease
from animals. Listen! The loss
from animals diseases in this coun- i
try, as estimated by the Agricultural (
Department, annually amounts to (
$212,850,000. <
"Two hundred and twelve million I
dollars a year lost from diseases In *
tho meat-producing animals of this 1
country, and yet gentlemen complain rj
that the Committee on Agriculture is
ramming its hands into the Treasury
up to the elbow, drawing out money
for the support of the Department of t
Agriculture. It makos mo weary! a
"You could afford, if you could c
save that $212,000,000 of annual t
loss, to spend $3 5,000,000 a year t
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 d
me weary, because I feel that the I
critics of this bill here never studies
the facts, or can not distinguish between
an investment and an expenIiture.f'
A member of the House Jumped to
tils feet and rececived recognition.
'Does 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 business
it is to invite people to come
Trom the country Into town, and then
ive have philosophers standing round
Inviting them to go from the town to
the country?"
The Farmer to Defend the Nation.
"I think thesn nonnlo?tv?? fr?ib-o
who are trying to got the people from
the country to the county?ought to
he 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 wo 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 lias heard of it.'*
"Let mo proceed," begged Mr.
Lever. "I want to ask those who
may complain about this bill and
about what tho 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 governr ent.
"Has that proposition ever occurred
to these gentlemen? I want to
say that tho perpetuation of representative
government, the continuance
of our present system, depends
more upon the prosperity, happiness,

>Ycuitu, uuut'tiiiun, conservatism and
patriotism of the American farmer
tlian upon any other factor.
"In the past ho has been the nation's
defense. In the future lie
must be 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 the night in
the open, some of them lying on the
rustic benches, some underneath with
nothing but an evening newspaper for
a plilow.
"And I said to myself that if the
red flag of anarchy ever goes up in
this 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
came 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. I^et us leave it.
then, in the hands of its defenders in
the House 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.

Neuvo Laredo, the thriving Mexican
border town opposite Laredo,
Texas, was in ruins Friday night,
devastated by dynamite and fired by
Mexican federals who late Friday began
an orgy of destruction which
ended only when they were forced t#
tlee before the guns of the American
border patrol. Two Mexicans are
known to have been killed ""try* The
United States troops.
Several brisk skirmishes between
the Americans and Mexicans occurred
as tho Mexicans, their troop
trains ready to leave tho burning
city, began an indiscriminate fire
across the international boundary.
Property damage in Nuevo Laredo
will reach $500,000. Among the
buildings destroyed were the United
States consulate, municipal buildings,
post office, theatre, tlour mill, one of
tho largest in that section; the railroad
shops of the Mexican National
railway and other structure^
There was no property loss in Laredo.
Both international bridges are
safe, though efforts to dynamite them
resulted in the death of two men engaged
In the undert.ikinc Oni.-. Mo-v
lean was shot, by a sharpshooter from
the top of the water tower. Tho Mexican
was trying to reach the end of
tho international foot and wagon
bridge. Another was killed whon he
tried to blow up tho Mexican end of
tho international railway bridge.
American soldiers are constantly stationed
at the American end to prevent
such an attempt.
When Mexican soldiers finally left
order was quickly restored at Laredo,
but strong guards remain throughout
the city. A serious problem was furnished
immigration and city authorities
by the presence there of hundreds
of refugees from the burning oity.
Tho federal garrison evacuated
Nuevo Laredo Thursday, supposedly
going to Saltillo or Monterey. With
their departure the city, ordlnarlli
of about 7,000 population, was ufcnr
tually deserted. Early Friday the
federals returned and it was nnnounned
that they came back for addition*!
engines to put to their troops tralrtb.
There was little excitement caused
by the presence of the federals until
Thursday afternoon. Smoke was
seen Issuing from some of the buildings
around the plaza. The municipal
building and the American eonsulate,
on opposite sides of the
square, broke into flames. Next door
to the consulate, the post office, temporarily
closed, also was seen to he
burning and around the plaza smoke
began to issue from the windows and
roofs of other buildings.
A few minutes later a loud explosion
wrecked several houses and the
fire spread rapidly in all directions^.
Americans began to gather on the
river bank, ,but hastily retreated
when warned that other explosions
uoumi m niiiKi migni occur. Troops
at Fort Mcintosh were quickly ordered
out and soon a rigid guard was
established in the danger zone. At
the two bridges the guards were reinforced,
and it was here that the only
known loss of life occurred.
A battery of field artillery was
sent to the power house of the Iatedo
Electric ana Lighting company,
staring an attack there, but there
was nothk g for them to do. Several
Mexicans were seen to fail before
the fire of the machine gun, but
they were carried away by their comrades.
After silencing the Meaioane,
part of the Ninth infantry was withdrawn
from the river front.
