Huerta in Despair Asks Help of Porfirio Diaz. WASHINGTON, Nov 29 Di<- patehes from Mexico City saying that President Huerta han tabled to Pof- i firlo Diaz in Paris to return and re sume his old military command were interpreted In Administration circles )>ere to-day as convincing evidence that the power of Huerta is crum bling. and he has recalled the form*r i dictator in a last desperate effort to I retain the lYesidency. | The reports, It was pointed out, j merely show the logical development of conditions in Mexico City, of which I the Administration had private infor mation. It was this information whleh <'ll used Presdent Wilson to announce recently that Huerta's strength was "crumbling” and mat the Unite! States morel? would have to main tain its ' hands oft” policy for a brDf period. Absentee Investors, Despotic Rule, Cause Mexico’s Woes From affluence to poverty, from peace and order to anarchy and mas* sai re. from one of the great nations of the world to one of the semi-bar barous countries -that has been the history of Mexico in three years Mexico stood at the apex of her glory September 16, 1910, the cen tenary of her independence from Spain. Porflrio Diaz's government was the only American power save Brazil to maintain an embassy, as distinguished from a legation, at Washington With a population of 13,000,000, and an area equal to the United States east of the Mississippi and south of New York, she gb od fifth among the gold and first among the silver-producing nations of the world: and her immensely rich ngri cultural resources were being .en- t ideally developed. The Basic Weakness. Rut Mexico’s peace and prosperity had fundamental weaknesses. It was dependent on the hand of a monarch, and its funds for development had come from other nations. The Unit - ed States had invested nearly $1,000,- OOOAlOO in Mexico; England. $320,000,- 000; France, $143,000,000, and other- foreign countries $118,000,000. Her own citizens had invested only $800,- 000,000. There developed a yearning for democratic government in the far north of Mexico, which resulted In til? candidacy of Francisco I. Madero, son of an immensely wealthy and influen tial family, for the Presidency in 1910. He drew up a schem* of reform, known as the "Plan of San Ini is P *- tosi.” He was beaten In the election -a farce, of course—was thrown into Jail and probably would have been shot escaping,” according to th<‘ pleasant little Mexican custom, had not his family been so influential. As it was, he was allowed to go to the United States, and there straightway organized a revolution. His father and his many brothers supjvorted him. The Waters-Pler*e (»ll Company, shut off from anticipa tion in the development of Mexico’.? oil fields by tlie favors shown in Honl < ’owdray (Sir Weeiman Pearson) by Diaz, supp’led the sinews of war. W ashington finally woke up tc* the fact that American residents in Mex ico might he murdered and American investments destroyed in the conflict. Without much announcement. Presi dent Taft mobilized an entire divi sion at San Antonio in the spring ot 1911 A brigade of three regiments was stationed at Galveston, a brigad' of infantry in Southern California, a squadron of battleships and cruisers at Galveston, nd a smaller fleet at San Diego Mr. Taft notified Diiz tha» no hostile move was Intended that the soldiers were simply on the spot to maintain order, Americans Wounded. In \pr!I there was a tight opposl e Dougla.*- Ariz., between Federals and rebels, and stray bullets wounded five persons in the American border town. President Taft dispatched a sharn note to Diaz. Partly due to this. Diaz slipped to Vera Cruz and embarked for Europe. Senor Francisco de la Barra, who had been Ambassador a» Washington became provisional Pres ident until Senor Madero was elect ed, October 15, and took office. Then Madero made what many con sider ills fatal mistake. He refused to follow the cruel methods traditional In Mexico when rebels are caught. He sent Reyes to prison for sixteen years Instead of following the “law of flight." which would have resulted in a shooting under pretense of justi fication. He caused no political ex ecutions As a result disorders wore continu ous throughout his administration. Everywhere bands of robbers, mas querading as "patriots." looted, burned, blew up trains, massacred and carried off women captives The barbarous Eniiliano Zapata continued General R. K.

In the north Pascual Orozco, Madero’s ally, headed an In surrection and even took Juarez. Madero put down two revolts of the clentlflcos. Now came the third and final one. On February 9. 1912, about half the army mutinied and both Reyes and Felix I>laz were liberated. Reyes was killed in an attack upon the National Palace. Then came the battle in the streets of Mexico City. There was an artillery fight between the arsenal and the National Palace, in which thousands of civilians. In cluding manv women and children, fell. Huerta Turns Traitor. Madero’s principal reliance was a ( hard-bitted old soldier, General Vic- ! to-iano Huerta. This man had earned a imputation as a fighter and little else. Suddenly he turned traitor to Madero. The political bee had got into his bonnet. Diaz thought he had gone over to the ctentifieo leader, and so it seemed for a time. Diaz and Huerta imprisoned Madero. his rela tives, and members of the administra tion. Then Diaz suddenly—every thing happens suddenly in Mexico- - discovered the leader was not himself, but Huerta. He acquiesced with some grace. Huerta was proclaimed Pro visional President under an agree ment that Colonel Diaz would run for the Presidency in the coming elec tion?. This was on February 18. Five days later came the most dis graceful episode in modern history the murder of Francisco Madeio. With Senora Madero imploring in tears for his life, the kindly deposed President and his Vice President, Suarez, were shot “trying to escape” as they were being transported across Mexico City in the early morning from the palace to the penitentiary. Huerta u at cused of murder In man) quar ters. Several months later, to an.i- cipate a bit. Dominguez, the lieuten ant who had had charge of the squad which had killed Madero and Suarez, was himself slain. “Dead men tell no tales.” Crude Methods. More crude methods were taken to get rid of some Maderistas. The President's brother, who hud been Minister of Finance, was slain in cold blood in bis cell, his nose and ears were cut off. and his body was sub Jected to other indignities. This was what led President Wil son to say in bis speech at Swarth- more. Pa.. “Government stained by blood can not endure.” The question of recognition of Huerta, now undoubtedly in control of tin* most Important part of Mex ico. hs the de facto ruler, came up. President Taft, who was about to end his administration, naturally did not seek to establish a policy for Mr. | Wilson, having no desire »o embar rass him. Just one week after bis in auguration President Wilson issued a statement which made It clear the United States would not recognize government by assassination. On this he has stood ever since Carranza Make* Progress. Huerta had scarcely seated himself on the throne than rebellion broke out again, with General Venustlano Car ranza. who had been a close friend of Madero. in the lead. Carranza has made great progress, and in fact now controls more of Mexico than did Ma dero when Porflrio Diaz abdicated. The situation since has been grow ing more and more serious, until many now believe that intervention by the United States is tin* only means of restoring order In Mexico. Nelson < >'Shaughnessy.

Shell Remains Intact Until It Reaches Enemy and Then Scatters Shrapnel. Here we have the very latest in strument of death and destruction the newest trump card in the great Game of War. It is cylindrical in shape, three Inches In diameter, about a foot long, and about as much as you would care to hold out at arm s length. It is called a "high explosive shrap nel shell," and if that somewhat knotted and combined name has a tang of German about it, one may remember that the new destroyer is the Invention of a German war en gineer Earhardt b? name. General R. K. Evans, of the De partment of the Gulf, balanced the newest shell on his knee and ex plained Its construction and purpose. “Formerly our field artillery carried two types of shell,” said the General, "the shrapnel shall, for exploding in the face of troops In the open and hurling upon them a shower of balls, and the high explosive projectile com monly called a ‘shell.’ used for bat tering down walls and fortifications, tearing open earthworks and the like. “The new shell combines both these operations, and may be used for ei ther purpose. Construction Quite Simple. “Its construction is quite simple, at that. At the conical point here we have a movable ring of brass, marked like the combination of a safe. In the base of the shell, extending up about two inches from the bottom. Is a chargt of black powder. The bod? of the cylinder is ocmipied by 250 balls, bedded in high explosive, some thing like the famous ‘lyddite’ that caused so much talk by its use by the British artillery in the Boer war. “Now, suppose the sin 1 is to be used as shrapnel -that is. against troops In the field. The battery pre ferably is ‘masked.’ or hidden just over the brow of a hill or rise In the ground, and if notice of the enemy s advance has been received earl? enough, the guns already are trained to drop their shells at a certain point on the road, say two miles away. Set Time Fuse. “The shell is prepared for firing by simply ‘setting’ the time fuse, <>f ful minate. This is done by turning the brass ring in the point to the figure that indicates a range of (in this ease) about 3.400 yards. That automati cally regulates the amount of fulmi nate to be burned before the black powder charge Is reached, so that the shell, whose speed, of course, is a fixed and known quantity, is exploded just in front of the troops on which it Is aimed, showering upon them, in stead of one solid missile, 250 balls, at velocity slightly greater than that of the shell itself. “It is, in effect, a prodigious shot gun spraying the advancing troops with bullets. "Now, you can easily Imagine the terrible effect of a battery of six guns, or maybe several batteries, playing at top speed, from a hidden location, upon a body of troops. If they con tinue to advance, the gunners, sig naled by men posted at the hill crest, change the setting of the time fuses, so that the shrapnel always is well spread out and effective when the fly ing charge explodes. Great Flying Shotgun. "The shell is a gigantic flying shot gun. “The high explosive powder, in this case, is no more active than the same amount of sawdust wmuld be. It does not explode, and is not intended t >. But when the object is to batter down a wall or demolish fortifications the time fuse is not sot, but a percussive or striking detonator is fixed so that the high explosive charge in the sheil explodes on striking anything—stone, brick, sandbags, wood or even soft ea rth." Throe sizes of the new shell are made for our batteries—3-lnch, 4-inoh and 6-inch, the last for the howitzer?*. The larger sizes contain proportion ately more explosive and balls, but the operation is identical. The pret tiest part of the mechanism, undoubt edly. is the tinting device, which per mits the shell to be exploded at any point in its (light with beautiful ac curacy. That, of course, necessitates absolute uniformity in the velocity of the projectile, and In the burning of the fulminate fuse, which Is ignited by the dischar**’« of the gun. War Now Mathematics. “The game of war.” said General Evans, "has come to he largely a mat ter of cold mathematics. Particular ly is that true in the case of artlller?, either on land or sea. The illustra tion of a masked battery dropping shells over the brow of a hill upon troops two miles away is only one of the commonplaces of modern field ar tillery operations.” But 1t does take shrewd mathemati cal application, and a very high or der of Intelligence—the operation of these terrible “peacemakers." And that leads the general to another ob servation. Favors Large Standing Army. “How on earth could untrained vol unteers. or even militia, be expected to handle such weapons with any ef fect?" he wonders. "It is a tremen dous argument for that greatest of all brands* of ‘peace Insurance’—an ef ficient and adequate standing army and n thoroughly organized body of reserves.” \fter which General Evans Is in clined to speak feelingly of the Army League, which he is assisting to or ganize. to achieve just the ends he has mentioned. NEW YORK, Nov. *29 The mys tery surrounding the disappearan -e last November of Mrs. Charles A. Moore's $20,000 Russian sable coat and its recovery was penetrated yes terday. Mrs. Moore and her husband are now on their way to Southern France. Mrs. Moore has taken the coat with her. They live at the Berkeley. The story of the theft, as told to The American by S. Tyler, manager of the Berkeley, is that of daring. The story of the recovery Is uncanny. Mrs. Moore purchased the coat from Balch, Price & Co., in Fulton street, Brooklyn. A messenger was sent to Manhattan with the luxurious wrap the following day. The boy reached the Berkeley. A taxicab stood at the curb. Two men intercepted the coal bearer in the vestibule. Impersonates Husband. One said that he was Mr. Moore. He would take the coat inside. He signed the receipt. The boy left, and the coat disappeared with the men in the taxicab. A reward of $2.non w as off( red foi its return. For nine months the po lice of Manhattan and Brooklyn and private detectives searched in vain. One day a man who declared that for $3,000 the coat would be I presented himself to Mrs. Moore. He declared that should the police be called in he would close his mourn and, if necessary, go to prison. He added that the coat would be sent to Amsterdam and there sold. Mrs. Moore agreed to make it a private matter. That night, at an appointed place two fur experts from Balch, Price «v Co.’s were taken into a cab. They were blindfolded and driven for about two hours. They were taken into a basement still blindfolded. A fur coat was thrust into their hands. They agreed that it was the sable gar ment for which they were looking. Blackmail Paid. They delivered the three $1,000 hill? and were taken back to the sidewalk where a different cab awaited. Still blindfolded and accompanied by one of their escorts they were driven t-j Washington Square. There their es cort jumped from the cab and the experts snatched the bandages from their eyes. On the ffoor of the cab lay a bund'o. They opened it, and found the long lost Russian sable coat. Harrington Wallis, head of the firm of Balch, Price & Co., refused to do more than admit that the coat was returned. Mr. Tyler, however, ad mitted the truth of the story. Jury Award $3,500 For Girl's Right Leg CHICAGO. Nov. 29.—'The Chicago Railways Company has been ordered to pay $3,500 for cutting off the right leg of Bernadette Crowell.

Two juries voted 11 to 1 in each case in favor of assessing damages from $10,000 to $15,000. In the first trial the solitary juror held out un til a disagreement was reported. In the second trial recently the solitary juror held out until he induced the other eleven to reduce their »>stimate of a right leg's value to $3,500.
