TWO
Palm Beach Suits—
When you buy a Palm Beach you should see that it
is well tailored. That it is not the product of cheap, in
experienced operatives.
There is as much difference between a well tailored
suit of this kind and a poor one as day light and dark.
We handle only the best made. Let us show you.

HUERTA COMPLAINS TO
MEDIATORS THAT U. S. IS

what Huerta says. A reply to the
. note will be made.”
Huerta Protest.
Anibdffflad'or Da Oama, of Brazil,
and Minister Naon, of Argentina, and
Suarez, or Chile, were astir early.
None of the mediators would discuss
the news emanating from Mexico City
regarding the Huerta protest.
It was thought that the envoys
would go to the state department to
negotiate further regarding the pro
test.
At Cabinet Meet.
' When the United States would re
ply to the envoys note was not made
known. President Wilson Is said to
have been Informed last night of the
Huerta government’s communication
and it la expected that the subject
would be considered at the cabinet
meeting today.
Suggestion of Bu.pen.lon.
Washington, D. C. —Officials point out
that neither the. United Htatcs nor Gen.
Huerta has yet entered Into any formal
arm lat re. What occurred was this:
The mediator* suggeKted that hostili
ties should he suspended during the pe
riod of negotiations. To this Hecretary
Bryan replied that It was assumed there
would.be a suspension of hostilities, ex
cept to repel attack. General Huerta's
answer was understood to be an accept
ance hut the exact terms have not been
given out. Mr. Bryan baa several times
pointed out that this did not constitute
a formal armistice but only an assump
tion that hostilities would he suspended
except to res'st aggression.
Pending Mediation.
Article VIII of the Hague convention,
of which the United Ktates and Mexico
are signatories, provides specifically on
troop movements pending mediation as
follows:
"Article VlH.—The acceptance of
I mediation cannot, unless there be an
j agreement to the contrary, have the ef
fect of interrupting, delaying or hinder
ing mobilisation or other measures or
preparation for war.
No Interruption.
‘lf mediation occurs after the com
mencement of hostilities. It causes no
Interruption to the military operations
In progress, unless there be an agree
ment to the contrary.”
To what extent the present suspension
at Vera Cruz operates under these rules
appears Iherefca-e to depend largely on
ih construction of the Informal under
atandlng that It was assumed hostilities
would he suspended except to repeal at
tack.
Should Be Definite.
‘‘leading authorities on International
law hold that an arrnistlee truce or su
spension of hostilities Hhould he definite
and exact and not Implied One of the
leading authorities, Halle, k says:
“Buell a general suspension of hostili
ties can only he made by the sovereignty
of t lie slate, either directly or by au
thiwlty, specially delegated. Such au
thorlH s never Implied, and the enemy
Is bound to see that the agent Is spe
cially authorized to bind his principle.” j
Formal Agreement.
When an armstlce Is formally agreed
to. the authorities hold that "during Its
pendant-v neither party mny engage In
any military work, operation, or move
ment. at least upon the Immediate thea
tre of war ” This however Is limited
to the "theatre of war" and It la added:
"Fitch parly may. In lls own Jurisdic
tion. do with Its armed forces whatever
ll cniud do In time of peace Fortifica
tions can he built or put in order, vessels
fitted out troops raised and tra ned and

“Edit so far as has been possible the
nav\ hag endeavored to cool the en
thusiasm of an excited populace by
the sight of the visible power for re
prisal that is displayed by the guns
of our warships lying as they are to
day in practically every port on the
east and west coasts.”
Course Defended.
Declaring that practically every for
eigner and American in the Tampico
district now ts safe, as well as for
elgn property Interests. Secretary
Daniels states that It seems almost
unnecessary to defend a course
“which has achieved such results.”
Secretary Daniels’ statement con
eludes:
“Tampico Is now a closely be
leaguered city, exposed to constant
attacks from the outside from a con
tinually augmenting enemy. The
constiaiitionalist forces, according to
all reports, are gradually Increasing
In numbers In the territory around
about.
Death Grapple.
Whether our efforts at mediation
fall or are successful, it would seem
to be obvious that Tampico and Its
surroundings will not be safe for for
eigners of any kind during the com
Ing death grapple between the constl- J
tutionallsts and the Tederals.
“If property owners choose to re
turn to Tantplco. risking their own
lives and the lives ot their families,
it does not He in our power to stop
them. To deliberately send them
there would place upon us the respon
sibility of their safety. It Is difficult

expect us to assume such an awful

Several of the secretaries took the po

within its rights in any movement to
reinforce the troops now in Vera Cruz.

Secretary Garrison said that the in
formation coming to the war depart
ment from Mexico City was through
refugee sources and that no official or
diplomatic correspondence had been
received bearing out the refugee re
ports. Charge O’Shaughnessy confer

Rain; Half-Hour Halt.
Jacksonville, Fla. —While the parade
was forming rain began falling, driv
ing many veterans to cover and
denching others. Thousands of spec
tators. who already were crowded upon
the downtown sidewalks, scurried to
nearby hotels and other public build
ings. The gay decorations with which
the business section of the city Is
adorned, soon began to fade slightly
as a result of the downpour. After
raining for about half an hour the
showers apparently were ceasing and
formation of the parade was resumed.
Refused to Ride.
Jacksonville, Fla. —Soon after the
parade was resumed the sun broke
through the clouds. Several hundred
veterans refused to ride in the au
tomobiles and insisted on marching
with their battle flags and muskets.
The weather was extremely warm and
from time to time the marchers drop
ped out of line, overcome by the heat
and exhausted. Gen Bennett H.
Young, commander in chief of the
United Confederate Veterans, led the
spectacular parade in which several
thousand veterans, Sons of Veterans,
maids and sponsors participated.
Fourteen brass bands were scattered
through the line of march. There were
nearly two thousand gaily decorated
automobiles in the pageant.
