U. S. DEMANDS THAT HUERTA SALUTE OUR FLAG
Spain Has Placed Safety of Her
Subjects in Mexico Entirely
in Hands of U. S.
WASHINGTON, April 12 Washing
ton officiais and diplomats were specu-
Jating to-night on the outcome of two
conferences to be held this week, one in
this city between President Wilson and
his personal representative in Mexico,
John Lind, and the other at Torreon
between General Venustiano Carranza,
first chief of the Constitutionalists, and
General Villa, thé victorious rebel army
leader
P'resident Wilson will return to the
capital to-morrow from his week-end
trip to West Virginia Mr. Lind is
coming up the coast from Vera Cruz
aboard the yacht Mayflower, and,
though no word has been received from
the vacht since she left Mexican
waters, he is expected to reach here
Tuesday About the time Mr. Lind is
making his report to the President, the
Mexican rebel leaders will be meeting
for the first time since the days of the
Madero revolution, and on this confer
ence much is believed to depend. Offi
clals here think that a face to face talk
hetween Carranza and Villa will result
in a clearer understanding concerning
the rights of foreigners in Mexico, and
especially their privilege of pressing
claims through American consular offi
cers,
No News Received.
No news from the scene of war came
to-day to either the War or Navy De
partment. The Navy Department also
was without a final report from Rear
Admiral Mayo on the outcome of his de
mand that the Mexican federal com
mander at Tampico salute~the Stars and
Stripes as a part of his apology for
the affront to America in the arrest of
United States marines, Officials de
clared, however, that no anxiety was
felt over this matter, as assurances had
been given that proper reparation would
be made.
It was reported to-night that import
ant dispatches had come to the State
Department from Mexico City. Secre
tary Bryan said, however, that he had
nothing whatever to give out. The Sec
retary commented on the absence of
press reports from the Mexican capital,
and remarked that apparently a rigid
censorship was being exercised. He
bad nothing to say about the possible
cause of this.
No one is predicting that any change
of policy on the part of the United
States Government will follow Mr. Lind’'s
report to the President, although it is
realized that the problems involved in
Mexico have undergone radical changes
since Mr. Lind went up from Vera Cruz
10 see the President at Pass Christian
during the New Year holidays.
Expulsion of Spaniards.
One of the results of the Torreon
meeting is expected to be a reply to the
State Department's latest representa
tions, especially in the case of Spaniards
exiled from Torreon. Although Carran
za has told the Department that he is|
not disposed to interfere with Villa's
course toward the Spaniards, there is
a frankly expressed expectation that this
stand may be modified.
Should the two rebel leaders decide
to pay no heed to Secretary Bryan's de
mand that the cases of all Spaniards be
settled on their individual merits the
United States will be confronted with
a problem of the greatest gravity, since
Spain has placed the safety of her sub
jects .in Mexico in the hands of the
United States,

New “Kink” on Woman Suffrage
By EDWIN MARKHAM.
ILLIAM H. ALLEN (Di-

his useful book, “Woman's Part in
Government” (whether she votes
or not), sent out by Dodd, Mead
& Co., New York, opens up a wide
field of service for all workers for
betterment of home. citv and na
tion. He has this to say in his
preiiminary survey of woman’'s
activity in human affairs:
“Novels, like history and biog
raphy, teem with evidence that in
all times woman’'s sphere has in
cluded men and world events out
side her home, Pericles, Caesar,
Washington, Jefferson, Frederick
the Great, Napoleon and Shake
gpeare had wives (or women
friends) who could talk knowing

“Roman ladies from time to
time organized to obtain legisla

wide-awake sympathizers with
the apostles and with the world
awakening which they furthered.

“It is not the new woman who
is new, but the world in which she
lives and about which she reads,

WELLESLEY, MASS, April 13—
Wellesley Coliege has received a gift

lost in the recent destruction of Col
lege Hall by fire.

scope for organization, diplomacy
and leadership it is no longer
necessary to become an abbess.
Skilled indirectness is beginning
to give place to skilled directness
in woman's ways as well as in in
ternational diplomacy.
“The chief difference betwecn
the new woman and her prede
cessors is that the new woman
finds it harder to be sure of eter
nal truths without knowing more
mundane facts than did her an
cient prototype. Even for mak
ing smail talk eternal truths are
somewhat threadbare, and need
concrete, up-to-date lustra
tions.
“Gjovernor Hughes (now Jus
tice) and many others have said
that women may have the ballot
as soon as they want it. Presi
dent Taft said to a national con
ference of women at Washington
in 1910: ‘Your task is not in con
vincing man, but in convincing
your own class.’
“But whether the majority of
women want to vote is not the
question which demands answer,
however important it may be in
theory. The handful of women
who are active in demanding the
ballot as a matter of abstract
right and public expediency are
so managmng the handful of men
who are responsible for party de
cisions that the vote will soon-be
“given to women.
“It is not worth while discuss
ing now what fraction of women
want to vote. Our task is as
rapidly as possible to make all
women capable of using the vote
when they get it.”

SAN FRANCISCO, April i3.—Mrs,
Marie K. King, a beautiful Hawaiian
lheiress, was given a divorce decree

Federal General Given 24 Hours
in Which to Make Full
: Reparation.
WASHINGTON, April 13.—The
Uniled States will insist upon. .the
firing of a salute to the American flag
by the Mexican Federals at Tampico
for the insult of arresting and pa
rading as prisoners a party of Amer
ican marines. President Wilson made
this clear to-day at the White House,
It was explained that because yes
terday was Baster Sunday General
Zaragoza had been given 24 hours
more than was af first expected to
make full reparation for the action
of his officers at Tampico.
John Lind, the Bresident's person
a! envoy to the Huerta Government,
arrived at the Washington Navy
Yard at 10 o'clock on the yacht May
flower from Vera Cruz. ¥e will be
of great assistance to the President
in the present situation. Although
Mr, Lind has been ahsent from Vera
(‘ruz for a week, he will be able te
give President Wilson an intimate
picture of the conditions existing on
the Caribbean coast.
Approves Admiral’s Demand.
(Complete approval has been given
to the action of Admiral Mayo at
Tampico by President Wilson, and
the Mexican authorities at Mexico
City and Vera Cruz have been noti
fied to this effect. Admiral Mayo also
was instructed to continue in his de
mand for a formal salute.
1t is plain from President Wilson's
attitude to-day that there is no in
tention on his part to pursue a con
ciliatory policy toward the Mexicans
at Tampico who arrested the Ameri
can marines, but he let it be known
that he will not state his position ex
plicitly until he has conferred with
Envoy Lind and Secretary of State
Bryan.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, in
ccmmenting upon the situation at
Tampico, said:
Daniels Hints at Action.
“There is not the least doubt that
the salute will be fired. Admiral
Mayo has been informed that the
Government approves most heartily
of his action in demanding the sa
lute, and that the United States will
take steps to see that this demand is
backed up if the Mexicans refuse to
comply with it, .
“There has been no time set. If
the Mexicans promise to salute the
flag, that will do for the present; -if
they refuse, we will have to resort to
other measures.”
~ What these measures would be, the
Secretary of the Navy declined to say,
but it is believed they will include a
naval demonstration, possibly of the
entire Atlantic fleet, off Tampico.
Secretary Daniels conferred with
Secretary Bryan concerning Admiral
Mayo's demand.

tain, however, that it will not be un
