Special Cable to The Atlahta Georgian. VERA CRUZ. Aug. 9—Captain Snowden, of the battleship New Hampshire, at the direction of John Lind, Special Ambassador from President Wilson to Mexi co, to-day sent the following wireless to Admiral Fletcher, com mander of the flotilla of United States warships in the harbor here: “Governor Lind wishes to see the United States Consul and Ad miral Fletcher immediately upon his arrival at Vera Cruz Satur day. Governor Lind will not 90 to Mexico City until Sunday/' Sensational rumors were circu lated as to the cause for the con ference. The New Hampshire will probably arrive this evening. MEXICO CITY. Auk 9.- Maintain ing hie Iron hand attitude in spite of International menace from revolu tionary armies and threatened coer cion, Provisional President Huerta to-day continued his diplomatic bat tle with the United States by giving orders to draft another note of pro test against the coming of Special Ambassador Lind, unless the United States recognizes Mexico or halts Mr. Lind before he arrives in this city. A tense situation exists here pend ing the arrival of Mr. Lind, who has been retarded by the State Depart ment at Washington. It is likely that Mr. Lind will not arrive here until Sunday or Monday, if he is not de tained en route on orders from Sec retary Bryan. Huerta's hope that defiance of the United States might break down the revolutionary spirit in the north seems to have been futile, according to a message from General Venus- tiano Carranza, leader of the rebels. Gains Fresh Followers. This was a reply to overtures to Carranza to Join his forces to the reg ular army in the event of a “foreign invasion.” However, Huerta has gained fresh followers among the rad ical clement by bis defiance of Presi dent Wilson. Supporters of the pro visional president charge that the United States is preparing to aot as it did in Cuba. Sensational reports were current to day relative to the diplomatic mission of General Felix ldaz to Toklo.

It follows the move ment of the Government to invite 50,- 000 Japanese emigrant*' here to colo nize the state of Morelos, which has been nearly depopulated by the re bullion. Insists on Recognition. Whether Huerta has any more cards to play in his diplomatic fight*against outside interferesoe with Mexican af fairs is a question known only to the provisional President and his closest advisers. Huerta insists on “recog nition and no parley," hut the Gov ernment is not in condition to enforce hi* threat by war. The national treasury Is nearly de pleted and tiie army material of the country has been thinned to a mini mum by three years of revolution. By diplomacy, however, he might still be able., by playing upon the La tin-American republics* fear of an nexation and upon the hostility >f foreign powers to the spirit of the Monroe Doctrine, to force the United States Into a compromising position. Even Nelson O’Shaughnessy, Charge d’AfTatres of the United States Em bassy here, is not acquainted with the details of Mr. Lind's mission. He has so informed the Mexican Foreign Minister. There is a big fleet of United State’s warships In the harbor at Vera Cruz to welcome the New Hampshire, in which Mr. Lind is traveling The latest addition to the fleet is the gun boat Wheeling.

After a solid hour of work, the committee adjourned and departed almost in a body. When questioned as to the action taken by the Finance Committee, Chairman Humphrey answered: “The Mayor requested that all newspaper reporters be referred to him. He will give all the informa tion that is to be given out.” The reporters hastened into the Mayor’s office and began to question him as to the weighty matters that had called for closed doors and se cret session. "What action did the committee take in regard to the row in the Park Board? Was Carey and Cochran right?” was asked by twp or three at once. “The matter was not even men tioned,” replied the Mayor. “It was understood that the meet ing of the committee was called to settle the row. Was that not the case?” “No, I tell, you that matter was not mentioned,” replied the Mayor. “What was the object of the meet ing, and what subject wa« discussed?” "We simply met in friendly confer ence and talked." "Was the subject the crematory, sewer construction or the public schools?” was asked.

Washington is waiting to hear what General Huerta’s specific course of action toward Lind will be. Huerta probably will not recognize the pres ence of Mr. Lind in Mexico until the latter attempts to transmit the med- j iation proposals to him through I Charge d'Aff&ires O’Shaughnessy. It is believed the crisis then will be precipitated unless Huerta backs down completely from the attitude taken in his recent note. It is not believed he will. That the New Hampshire W&S de layed purposely by wireless to give 1’resident Huerta every opportunity to reconsider his ban on Lind was learned to-day. No official business will be transacted until Monday, al lowing Huerta 48 hours more leeway. Marked activity was noticeable at both the War and Navy Departments, however, and preparations were made to keep offices in these departments o$mn ail Sunday. Secretary of the Navy Daniels to day made sure that the wireless com munication between the naval sta tion at Arlington, Va., and the At lantic fleet, now maneuvering off Newport, R l., was unbroken and it was rumored that Secretary of War Garrison, now on a tour of inspection of army posts throughout the United States, would return to Washington immediately instead of September S.

LEVELAND THE SCENIC WAY WITH DINING CARS MEN AND RELIGION No. 73 7* § OF GEORGIA “AND THEY ALL WITH ONE CONSENT BEGAN TO MAKE EXCUSE.” Luke 14:18. I VI They were at dinner. Jesus said: "When thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind, "And thou shalt be blessed." One at the table pretended to be in sympathy. He began smugly: "Happy is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God." The hypocrisy of the man and all others like him was unmasked in the answer made by Jesus. He said: "A certain man made a great supper and bade many— "And they all with one consent began to make excuse." One said one thing, another another. With one it was a field; with another it was new oxen. In the end, the Lord said: "None of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper." And from the highways and the hedges called He His guests. Are you a maker of hypocritcal phrases as was the man at the Phari see’s dinner table—pretending a love for that which is just and right? Or, to-day, are you trying to do the will, not of man or men, but of Him who died for you? Let us have done with excuses! While spending thousands on fields, hogs and cattle, say not: "We are unable— "We can not give proper care to these girls— ‘ ‘ These children must go down in shame because of our lack of money— "But our beasts we must protect whatever the cost." If animals are more valuable than girls, let us say frankly: but you know that this is untrue. You know what Georgia would do. Consider, then! The Bill in the House providing a Reformatory for Girls is No. 4— ahead of any other measure appropriating money. The Penitentiary Committee has approved it. Unanimously the Appropriations Committee has recommended that it pass. Why, then, should beasts and fields be provided for by later bills and nothing done for Georgia’s wayward and delinquent girls? BURWELL of Hancock, the Speaker of the House, the Chairman and the vice-chairman, BLACKBURN of Fulton, HARDEMAN of Jef ferson, MILLER of Bibb, NUNNALLY of Floyd, PAULK of Berrien, RAGLAND of Talbot, REDWINE of Fayette, RHODES of Clarke, SHUPTRINE of Chatham and SLADE of Muscogee constitute the Rules Committee of the House. The Bill is in their hands. Monday is the final day in which the measure can be heard and en acted into law at this session of the Legislature. These eleven men, THE RULES COMMITTEE, will not prevent a hearing, say their friends. We believe that they will do more, that they will help to pass the Bill. For they know the worth of a girl-child of ten to fourteen. And they can appraise a cow or hog. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE MEN AND RELIGION FORWARD MOVEMENT
