President Wilson, in his speech in New York Monday at the memorial exercises over the bodies of the Vera Cruz dead, struck the keynote of his attitude toward Mexico when he said "We have goue to Mexico to serve mankind if we can find the way We cannot use this space in a better way today than by publishing some o the things he said, as follows: "I know that' the feelings which t,aru.t.erize all who stand about me and the whole nation at this hour are not feelings which can be suitably expressed in terms of attempted ora torv or eloquence. They are things too deep for ordinary speech "Vnr mv own Dart. I have a singu lar mixture of feeling. The feeling that is uppermost is one of profound grief that these lads should have had to go to their death, and yet there is mixed with that grief a profound pride that they should have gone as they did, and if I may say it out of my heart, a touch of envy of those who were permitted quietly so no tlv to do their duty. Have you thought of it, men? Here is the ros ter of the navy, tne nsi oi iue iueu, officers and enlisted men and ma rines, and suddenly there swim 19 stara out of the list men who have suddenly gone into a firmament of memory, where we shall always see their names shine"; not because they called upon us to admire them, but because they served us witnout as ing any questions and in the per formance of a duty which is imon us as well as upon them. "Duty is not an uncommon thing, gentlemen. Men are periorming in the ordinary walks of life it all around us all the time, and they are makinz err eat sacrifice to perioral it. What gives men like these peculiar distinction is not merely that tney did their duty, but that their duty has nothing to do with them or their own personal interests. 1 hey did not rive ud their lives for themselves. They gave up their lives for us, be cause we called upon them as a na tion to perform an nunexpected duty, That is the way in which men grow distinguished and that is the only -way by serving some one else than themselves. And what greater thing could you serve than a nation such an this we love and are proud oft "Are yon sorry for these lads! Are you sorry for the way they will be remembered T Does it not quicken your Dulses to think of the list of them! I hope to God none of you may join the list, but if vmi do you will loin an immortal company. "So. while we are profoundly sor rowful and while there goes out of onr hearts a very deep and affection ate sympathy for the friends and rel atives of these lads who, for the rest of their lives shall mourn them, touch with a touch of pride, know why we da not go away from this occasion east down, but with onr heads lifted and our hearts on the future of this country, ith absolute ' confidence of how it will be worked ! out not only upon the mere vague future of this country, but the im mediate future." the the Those enemies of the Democratic party who have been nursing hope that the 0. 0. P. and Progressives would get together again in the next .Presidential campaign are not encouraged by the statement from ex-President f aft that he will take the stamp against Koosevelt in ease he makes the race for the Presv deney. ; Teddy has,, been getting his plana together for some time to cap ture the Republican aa well ai the Progressive nomination and nothing but death can prevent him from be ing gome kind of a candidate. Mr. Taft says he will not be a candidal himself, but be will take the stomp against Teddy, opposing his nomina tion first, and then if he is nominat ed opposing his election. r "1 C..bs CI Today, v Lon-'-n, !.:.! y 13 2 .VI Cai-e Mr 0 ' ' i 1'9 sixty f t Lh-t:, 1 v. 1 1 ill fT ninny years -on te L"t i ' j, (.- 1 ai brn it Enncern. lit- ' ' t ! i f no '""" Tke Steam!) Yaterlaad Starts Te- merrew oa Ear Maiden Trt Hauburz. Mar 13. Tke mate iatereet m fceiac taken acre in la departure tomorrow of the steamship VeterUnd oa ber maiden TovufJ to Kew York. The VeterUnd Has the distinction of beinf the largest eraf. in the world. She belong! to the Hamborf-Americaa Line and .1 u am ber of the high o.heis!s of thi rn nanr are romc OB her initial trip. In addition, the big ship will carry a thousand or more first and second Use pasacngera, among those on the booking lists being many Americans and Europeans of prominence. While eloecly resembling ber 1am oua sister ship, the Imperator, the Yaterlaad exceeds her in all dunen lions. The new queen of the eas measures 960 feet, or nearly five city blocks, in length. She is 100 feet in width and has a tonnage of 58,000. Not only does the Vaterland eclipse all previous records for size, but she represents the very latest idea oi ar tistie elegance and mechanical won ders. Some of the leading decora tors of Europe were engaged to de sign and furnish her magnificent sa lons, dining rooms, grand hall and suites. The main salon is the largest hall of its kind ever constructed on shipboard. The woodwork is of solid mahogany. There is an open nreplacc. and natural light floods the hall through a number of drawing room windows. The hangings consist of al most priceless tapestries, and Orient al rugs of the finest weaves cover the floors. The main dining room resembles the banquet hall of a great hotel. It will accommodate 800 diners at one time. The great size and steadiness of the vessel have made it possible to furnish the dining room with mov able chairs, in place of the swivel seats attached to the floors, common to ocean steamships. In addition to the main dining room the big ship has Ritz-Carlton restaurant, a grill room and a palm garden. Everything on the V aterlaud hu been designed to look as niucli like a sumptuous hotel and as little like a ship as human ingenuity can do it. The windows are shaped and cur tained like a private house. Eleva tors take the passongers from one deck to another. For the millionaires the staterooms are as beautiful as the skill of the first decorators of the world can make them. In the regal suits, as they are called, there are two bathrooms, two bed rooms. a dining room and a reception room The bedsteads are of brass, without a suggestion of a hunk about them Special attention has been paid to the arrangement of the lights and the closet space. The suites are furnish ed in a variety of decorative style: and color schemes to satisfy everv taste. The second cabin has its special social and dining rooms, ladies lounge and smoking room. The third cabin also has its separate public rooms, and its state rooms are built to accommodate two and four persons. In the steerage of the Vaterland th passengers, instead of being placed in one large room, as on most ships, e separate cabins, arranged for families and for small groups of men and women. Every conceivable precaution lias been taken in the construction and equipment of the Vaterland to assure the safety as wel as. the comfort of the passengers and crew. Like all great ocean liners constructed since the Titanic disaster, the big ship has a complete inner skin, extending far above the waterline. The water-tight compartments are so arranged that even though a large number of the-ii were flooded the ship would villi nt. An innovation is a compl.'i- .iu- de partment, with a system of signals covering every part of the ship, and a staff of fire fighters recruited from the fire departments of German cit ies. There are, of course, in addition to this numerous other safety devices, such as submarine signals and life. boats and rafts sufficient to accom modate every one aboard. Her power ful wireles apparatus will enable her to keep continuously in touch with land. The Vaterland will make the run between Hamburg and New York in seven days, at an average speed of about twenty-two knots an hour. Her four powerful, propellers set a new standard for, sice in such construction. Each has a diameter of nineteen feet seven inches and weigh nearly fif teen tons. The propellers are made of the finest . quality of manganese bronce. , Triple expansion engines driven by a doxen double boilers, will propel the great steamship. For navi gation purposes a Kreisel. compass, pointing always to the brae pole, will be used. This instrument is entirely independent of the earth's magnet ism. ''':: Peak la Panic-MbUe rears Taea Wane Taea Anwtcia Xarvataa. Vera Craa! V ay 13-Peaea delegates passing through Vera Cras -today brought news that atrot? forces of Zapata's troops within a few miles of Mexico City in the Ajoaee Hills had caused the Federal soldiers to withdraw into the capital. The Zapata vanguards have sioee Thursdsy morning been fathering in formidable numbers a boat the subur ban towns of Tlalpam, San Antonio, Contreras, 6an Angel and Cburubneco. The population of Mexico City, al ready thoroughly alarmed, is more panicky as the result of the Zapets advance than the possible rupture of the American armistice and Fun- itoa 's move toward the capital, wbieh the better classes consider infinitely preferable to th rebel chiefs dreaded outrages. Zapata's army gathered an easy victory Wednesdsy. when the com mander and his troops entered Cuee navaca unopposed by the Federal gov ernor or the garrison, which evacuated without finne a shot The entrv of his 3,000 well srmed horsemen at nigthfall was followed immediately by looting and ri otous drinking about the Bella ista Hotel, the property of Mrs. King, an American woman. Wires were cut and the railway was torn up immediately after the Feder els evacuated, but sufoseousntly over wo hundred refugees, including lour Americans and twenty Spaniards, Bel from the city on horseback. By slow degrees they made their way to the Federal train depot at Tresmanas. General Blanauet. lluerta's Uiie of Staff, hearing of the evacuation of Cuernavaca, at once telegraphed the fleeing Governor Breton stern orders to stoi) the retreat while hedispatcn ed trooDs to go to the rescue ana ston Zapata's advance. Armoured automobiles were usea as a vanguard while railroad trains were loaded with a battalion ot in fantry, a mountain battery and two machine guns. The detachment skirmishers who manned the automo biles were behind Tresmarias when thev ran into an ambush. WZMi SUt STAJTLT. Mrs. J. D. Jenkins is right Sk si preeeai, - Mr. J. T.

Black Mountain and Ridgecoast are on the boom, accord ing to Mr. R. O. Alexander, who re cently returned from that place. Within the last seven months, ac cording to hisMnformation, no less than 107 new houses have been erect ed and more have been ordered. There are no houses to rent, says he, and building material and workmen are in demand. "The growth of Montreat, Black Mountain and Ridgecrest has been one of the marvels of the decade, declared he. "Seven years ago there was comparatively nothing at Black Mountain save a house or two, abso lutely nothing at Montreat and noth ine at Ridgecrest. Today, this local ity is the religious and summer out ing center of 4,000,000 people; has two banks, two electric light lines i-oni Del in for business, fine water anl sewerage systems, $40,000 worth of macadam roads in the township, an ice factory, a laundry business, stores, and houses by the hundreds. Some idea of this remarkable growth may be gained by the fact that 103 new dwellings have been erected in tne last seven months." THIS DATE IN HISTORY.
