By tomorrow the American fleet under Admiral Badger will be ready to begin landing forces at Tampieo. The program of President Wilson seems to be to take possession of the custom houses at Tampieo and Vera Cruz at once. Yesterday the Presi dent went before congress and asked permission to use the army and navy to force Huer'.a. The House passed the necessary resolution last night and the Senate will pass it today. The following dispatches give the news of the situation. SUNDAY'S IKY ELO PM ENTS. Washington Dispatch.April 10th. Gen. Vietoriano Htierta, provision al president of Mexico, flatly refused tonight to accede to the uncondition al demands of the United States that he salute the American flag and Con press w ill be asked by President Wil son tomorrow for authority to use armed forces to uphold the honor and dignity of the Nation. Negotiations with Huerta over the demand for a salute in reparation for the arrest of American bluejackets at Tampieo on April 10 came to a close tonight at 6 o'clock, the last hour Riven by President Wilson for a fa vorable response from the .Mexican dictator. The final word of Huerta to Charge O'Sluuighnessy was a refusal to comply, unless the United States would guarantee in writing that his salute would be returned. President Wilson at midnight was on his way to Washington from White Sulphur Springs, preparing to read a message o Congress in joint session as early as It can be arrang ed tomorrow. In the meantime American war fleets were moving down both coasts on their way to Mexican waters to carry out the l'resldent's plan for re prisal. WILL SEIZE TOUTS. The crisis thus reached dose not mean that there will be a formal uec laration of war becauso the United States could not declare war against a Government which il does not rec ognize. President Wilson will seek authority, however, to land armed forces Into Mexico to seize first the ports of Tampieo and vera Cruz and the railroad trestle leading from Vera Cruz toward Mexico City. The President directed that a Cab net meeting be be called for 10:30 o'clock tomorrow when final ar rangements for a pacific blockade of Mexican ports and other steps in the President's program will be deliber ated. The breach that finally has come with Mexico will make it Impossible, It was declared tonight on high au thority, for the United States to further protect foreigners in that Re public and foreign governments have been notified of the situation In this regard. The President, it was declared, not only would ask Con gress for authority to use the armed forces to uphold the honor of the Nation, but also for an appropria Hon, a deficiency already having been created because of expensive naval operations In anticipation of Huerta's defiance of this Govern ment. HUERTA'S REASON FOR NOT SALUTING FLAG. Mexico City Dispatch, April 19th. Senor Portlllo Rojas, Foreign MIn Ister, announced tonight that it would be impossible to agree to the demand of the United States that the flag of that country be uncondltion ally saluted, because that flag was not Insulted, because it was not fly ing from the launch and because the marines were set free and that the officer responsible for the arrest was himself arrested and held for trial. The Foreign Minister further an nounced that the Mexican Govern ment would agree that both flags be saluted, the American flag first and then the Mexican nag, this arrange ment to be made by a protocol sign ed by the American Charge d Affairs, Nelson O Shaughnessy, ana tne Alex lean Foreign Minister. The United States Government, Senor Portlllo declared, had refused permission to Charge O'Shaughnessy to sign such a protocol, ana aemana ed an unconditional salute by Mexico, which Mexico felt was Incompatible with her dignity. "Mexico has yielded as much as her dignity will not permit. Mexico trusts to the fair-mindedness and spirit of Justice of the American peo pie." Washington Dispatch, April 20th. President Wilson today answered Huerta's be fiance by asking Congress assembled in joint session for ap proval to "use the armed forces of the United States to obtain from Gen eral Huerta and his adherents the fullest recognition of the rights and dignity of the United States." The President did not ask for nv BDDroorlation money at this time nor for authority to call out the national guard. "There can be no thought of ag gresslon or aggrandizement,'',., de clared the President to the sober faced throng of Senators and Repre- fcentativea which packed the hall of the House. "This movement can, I earnestly hope, in no circumstances be forced into war with the people of Mexico. :? armed conflict should unhappily .. ne. as the result of his t Huerta's attitude of personal resentment to wards this government, we should be fighting only General Huerta and those who adhere to him and give him support or our object would be only to restore to the people of the distracted republic the opportunity to set up again their own laws and their own government. "There can in what we do be no thought of aggression or of aggran dizement. We seek to maintain the dignity and authority of the United Slates only because we wish always to keep our great influence unim paired for the use of liberty both in the Uniied States and wherever else it may be employed for the benefit of mankind." THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. "Gentlemen of the Congress: "It Is my duly to call your atten tion to a situation which has arisen in our dealings with General Vic toriano Huerta at Mexico City which calls for action, and to ask for your advice and co-operation in act ipg up on it. On the ninth of April a pay master of the U. S. S. Dolphin land ed at the Iturbide bridge 'landing at Tampieo with a wlialeboat and boat's crew to take off certain supplies needed by his ship and while en gaged in loading tho boat was ar rested by an officer and squad of men of the army of General Huerta. Neither the paymaster nor anyone of the boat's crew was armed. Two of the men were lu the boat when the arrest was made and were obliged to leave it and submit to being taken into custody, notwithstanding the fact that the boat carried, both at her bow and her stern, the flag of the United States. The officer who made the arrest was proceeding up one of the streets of the town with his prisoner when met by an officer of higher authority, who ordered him to return to the landing and await orders; and within an hour and a half from the time of the ar rest orders were reclved front the commander of the Huertista forces at Tampieo for the release of the pay master and his men. The release was followed by apologies from the commander and later by an expers- sion of regret by General Huerta himself. "General Huerta urged that mar tial law obtained at the time at Tam pieo; that orders had been issued that no one should be allowed to land at the Iturbide bridge; and that our sailors had no right to land there. Our naval commanders at the port had not been notified of any such prohibition; and even if they had been, the only Justifiable course open to the local authorities would have been to request the paymaster and his crew to withdraw and to lodge a protest with the commanding officer of the fleet. Admiral Mayo regarded the arrest as so serious an affront that he was not satisfied with the apologies but demanded that the flag of the United States be saluted with special ceremony by the military commander of the port. "The Incident cannot be regarded as a trivial one, especially as two of the men were taken from the boat It self that is to say, from the terri tory of the United States; but had it stood by Itself it might have been at trlbuted to the ignorance or arro gance of a single officer. Unfortu nately It was not an isolated case. A series of incidents have recently oc curred which cannot but create the impression that the representatives of General Huerta were willing to go out of their way to show "disregard for the dignity and rights of this gov eminent and felt perfectly safe In do ing what they pleased, making free to show in many ways their irritation and contempt. few days after the incident at Tampieo an orderly from the U. S. S. Minnesota was arrested at Vera Cruz while ashore in uni form to obtain the ship's mall and was for a time thrown into jail. . An official dispatch from this govern ment to its embassy at Mexico was withheld by the authorities of the telegraphic service and peremptorily demanded by our charge d'affaires In person. So far as I can learn such wrongs and annoyances have been suffered to occur only against repre sentatives of the United States. I have heard of no complaint from other governments of similar treat ment. Subsequent explanations and formal apologies did not and could not alter the popular impression, which It is possible it had been the object of the Huertlsta authorities to create, that the government of the United States was being singled out and might be singled out with Im punity, for slights and affronts In re tallatlon for Us refusal to recognize the pretensions of General Huerta to be regarded as the constitutional pro visional president of the republic of Mexico. THE DANGER PRESENTED. "The manifest danger of such a situation was that such offenses might grow from bad to worse until something happened of so gross and Intolerable a sort as to lead directly and inevitably to armed conflict. It was necessary that the apologies of General Huerta and his representa tives should go much further, that they should be such as to attract the attention of the whole population to their significance, and such Is to im press upon General Huerta himself the necessity of seeing to It that no further occasion for explanations and professed regrets should arise. I Mil. stack i:f.sk;s. Tenders Resignation as Solicitor to Governor and Will Xot Ask for I!e-t-lt-4'tion Only Wanted Kndorse ment of His Kerord. To the Democrats of the Thirteenth Judicial District: Recently I made known to my friends that I would appreciate an endorsement of my official record as solicitor, believing at the time that the people would be permitted to express themselves directly by bal lot. To that end I requested prima ries in every county in the district and believed that they would of course be ordered. Put, in most of the counties, primaries for solicitor have been refused, and no method has been provided whereby the peo ple can voice their sentiments. I do not care to enter' into any scramble for delegates to the various conven tions and I, therefore, ask my friends to consider me no longer in connection with the nomination for that office. When I accepted the office for so licitor, the district was a large one, with only one Recorder's court in it. Since then the district has been re duced in size and every county but one now has a Recorder's court. These courts have so reduced the emoluments of the office that the fees do net compensate even for the time which the office requires. Its duties are almost as burdensome as they ever were, and they so interfere with my civil practice that I do not feel justified in holding the office any longer. For these reasons, 1 have forwarded to the Covernor my resig nation to take effect July 1st, 1914. I shall finish my spring courts so that my successor can begin with the fall terms. I thank my friends throughout the district for their many courtesies, their confidence and their support. A. M. STACK. Monroe. N. C April 20, 1914. (Mr. Stack has made a fine record as solicitor: He was appointed by Governor Kitchin to fill the unex pired term of Mr. Robinson, and then was elected.) therefore, felt It my duty to sustain Admiral Mayo in the whole of his de mand and to insist that the flag of the Uniied States should be saluted In such a way as to Indicate a new spirit and attitude on the part of the Huurtistas. "Such a salute General Huerta has refused, and I have come to ask your approval and support in the course I now purpose to pursue. WANTS NO WAR. "This government can, I earnestly hope, in no circumstances be forced Into war with the people of Mexico. Mexico Is torn by civil strife. If we are to accept the tests of its own constitution, it has no government. General Huerta has set his power up In the City of Mexico, such as it is, without right and by methods for which there can bo no justification. Only pnrt of the country is under his control. If armed conflict should unhappily come as a result of his at titude of personal resentment to wards the United States, we should be fighting only General Huerta and those who adhere to him and give him their support, and our object would be only to restore to the peo ple of the distracted republic the op portunity to set up again their own laws and their own government. THE FEELING OF FRIENDSHIP. "But I earnestly hope that war is not now in question. I believe that I speak for the American people when I say that we do not desire to con trol in any degree the affairs of our sister republic. Our feeling for the people of Mexico Is one of deep and genuine friendship, and everything that we have so far done or refrain ed from doing has proceeded from our desire to help them, not to hin der or embarrass them. We would not even wish to exercise the good offices of friendship without their welcome and consent. The people of Mexico are entitled to settle their own domestic affairs in their own way, and we sincerely desire to re spect their right. The present situ ation need have none of the grave Implications of Interference if we deal with it promptly, firmly and wisely. "No doubt I could do what Is nec essary In the circumstances to force respect for our government without recourse to the congress, and yet not exceed my constitutional powers as president; but I do not wish to act in a matter possibly of so grave con sequence except in close conference and co-operation with both the Sen ate and House. I, therefore, come to ask your approval that I should use the armed forces of the United States in such ways and to such an extent as may be necessary to obtain from General Huerta and his adherents the fullest recognition of the rights and dignity of the United States, even amidst the distressing conditions now unhappily obtaining In Mexico. "There can In what we do be no thought of aggression or of selfish aggrandizement. We seek to main tain the dignity and authority of the United States only because we wish always to keep our great influence unimpaired" for the use of liberty, both in the United States and wher ever else It may be employed for the benefit of mankind."

An Old Soldier Thinks a I took Should Ito Ptviwivd Ttiling of Their Serv ics Asks Other lniers to Copy. Honor thy fa'her and thy mother Is an Injunction next of kin to that of loving the Lord thv God with all thv soul, mind and strength. Doih these commands are of divine authority and we shall do well if we heed them. This much by way of introduction lo my subject THE WOMEN OF THE CONFEDER ACY. I can think of no class of heman beings more deserving or more wor thy of the highest honor than tho.se noble wives and mothers and sisters of the period of that awful bloody conflict between the North and the South, and 1 know of no better way to do them such honor than to per petuate thir names, their noble deeds, their patriotism, their faith, zeal and fortitude and courage in fit and appropriate history, so that coin ing generations may fully appreciate the oble p.:rt they acted in that aw ful drama in defense of their homes and their country and the common in terest. I look upon it ns a duty which their furvivors owe to the.;e grand old women to undertake, at once, this most worthy and commendable task. If the thrilling and pathetic experi ences and reminiscences incident to that trying time were put into book form they would make a volume most Interesting and Instructive reading, more like fiction than fact, more like romance than reality. A book that would meet with popular favor ev erywhere. I believe, too, that a small profit on the sale of such a work would amply repay all expense incident to such an enterprise. What are we going to do about it? For my own part, I will say if there is no such history in existence, there ought to be, and the sooner the effort is made the better. The time for gath ering the necessary material Is short. Soon there will be none left to tell the stories. I am a Confederate vet eran, saw three years of active ser vice under Lee, was at Appomattox at the close; I have none but a com mon interest In this matter; had no mother during the war but a step mother who did her part well; suffer ed as others suffered, and would gladly contribute her experiences to this cause. 1 am proud of my coun try, love my people, and wish to see justice done to all. Will not the U. D. C.'s bestir themselves in an effort to accomplish this most worthy and commendable deed? Would bi glad to have the opinion and to know the sentiment of some of their active and progressive members. I would be delighted and highly gratified to have this article copied by all the paper3 of Union and adjoin ing counties. Respectfully submitted, H. P. MEIGS, Co. I. 53 N. C. Vols. Wlnpate, N. C. KcholHith School Closing. Waxhaw Enterprise. The school at Rchoboth closed on last Friday with a picnic and Farm ers' Union rally. There was a large crowd of patrons and friends out for the occasion and enjoyed it. The morning was devoted to exercises by the schflol children. These exercises were good, especially the singing, and showed much preparation on the part of the children and much faith ful training on the part of the teach ers. After the morning exercises the crow d repaired to the long table under the oaks in the yard, which was soon loaded with good picnic edibles. When the plcnlcers had all eaten to their satisfaction one could sarcely miss anything from the table. On returning to the school house after dinner the first thing was an announcement that the teachers, Miss l.es8ie Plyler of Prospect and Miss Kate Marsh of Wadesboro had been elected for another term. Then the Farmers' Union leaders took charge of the program and there fol lowed a strong address by Dr. H. Q. Alexander, president of the North Carolina branch of this organization. Dr. Alexander spoke of what the Union has done, and of what It has yet to do. He emphasized the Im portance of diversified farming and scientific co-operative marketing. Excellent music for the occasion was furnished by Rehoboth string band. There was a ball game in the afternoon between Waxhaw and Re hoboth, resulting in a score of 21 to 3 for the town fellows. The day was a most enjoyable one all around and for both the school and the Union was a good occasion. Presbyterian Church Notes. The Sunday services were largely attended. In the evening the popu lar bible study sermons were contin ued, the theme being "The Day of Judgment." At the mid-week service on Wednesday evening reports will be read of the work of each of the or ganizations connected with the church. A report will also be made by the representative to Presbytery. All members of the congregation are urged to be present thereby showing their interest In the work of our church. There will be no service on Sunday morning next as the pastor will be absent preaching the commencement sermon at Bain Academy. The Sun day school will meet as usual and there will be the popular Bible study In the evening. Mr. Wood, manager of the Monroe Ice ft Fuel Co., led the mid-week service last week, for which the ses sion feels indebted to him. CHURCH REPORTER. Death of .Mr. John ('. Fletcher. Mr. J. C.

Correspondence of The Journal. Watch Wingate Widen! No sickness at all to report this week. Mr. A. F. Green, who recently sold his house and lot is preparing to erect a handsome cottage on E. Cen ter St., adjoining the lot of Mrs. Jop- lln. Uncle 'Rob' Gaddy is still in the lead In farm matters. He look the initiative by planting cotton seed this morning. Uncle Hob is somewhat of an eccentric, but he is coming along anyway. Our milling plant is running about full time ginning, sawing, grinding or dressing lumber. Let me say a few more things about Wingate s moral status: Mr, W. M. Perry, a prominent citizen and town official, made the statement casually, that he had not heard a "curse word" used by any one on the streets of Wingate for 6 months or more and that he had seen but one person during this time that showed symptoms of an over dose of snake bite cure. Some other prominent business men, who heard nothing of this, made substantially the same re marks. This is said in defense of the folks all about Wlngaie. O, we are coming some! Fertilizer! Fertilizer! It's a mor tal sight. There must have been a hundred wagons on our streets Sat urday morning in quest of the stuff, Hope the farmers don't mean to plant both sides of the earth in cot ton this year. It is a fact worthy of note that our farmers are better sup plied with efficient work stock than at any time within the history of Wingate. Sleek, fat, lively ani mals Is the rule. Good sign. Our merchants are doing a larger volume of business than ever before in the history of our town. Commencement time is nearing. The folks are doing their best to make it a success. Everybody come and touch elbows with our people and share their most sumptuous hos pitality. A warm welcome awaits you. O. P. T. had the delightful pleas ure of greeting our genial and clever bank president, Mr. R. A. Morrow, on the streets Saturday. Of course Mr. Morrow's visits are largely of a business nature, but his manner shows that he enjoys them. It's this way: the more he sees of us the bet ter he likeks us, and the better he ter he likes us, and we feel the same toward him. O. P. TIM 1ST. Chief Witness Arrested for Same Offense. John Greene, son of Mr. Tom Greene of Marshville, was tried here In the Recorder's court last week for selling whiskey. One of the chief witnesses against him wasne Char lie Thompson, who had been In Marshville 'about six months. As Thompson stepped down from the witness stand papers were served on him for the same offense, committed at Darto, Fla. He had stood his trial at Barto, was convicted and sen tenced to serve six months at hard labor. An appeal was made to a higher court, and some parties went on his bond. The man Thompson then skipped. When located the bondsmen sent for him. He went to begin his trial yesterday. About a month ago Thompson was married to Mrs. Teresa Tyson of Wingate. Mrs. Thompson now awaits her husband s return. hakx am st;k k i.i i:fd. Man liurotil Mr. U. W.

Smiih in New Salem town ship was burned, and the singular thing about it is that the fire was set to it almost in the presence of Mr. Smith himself ho had just re turned from Marshville and was un hitching his horse at one end of the hirn when the fire broke out at the other end. At the sat,e time Mr. Smith's son was sitting o:i the piazza of the house in front of the barn. The fire was started in a lot of straw near one end and near where the mules were. Before mieh could be done the fire Imd spread so fast ihat throe fine mules, two cows, and a lot of farm machinery were burned. Resid these larcs-r itrr.js thre v. "re Innumerable o-.her things lost. The barn itself was one of the larcei in the county, and Mr. Smith l e.'ir, a.i excellent farmer and stock raiser, had it well provided with feed. Mr. G. S. Lnscore, who lives a mile south of Monroe and ke:s blood hounds, was i!ion'd for and got there about eleven o'clock. The dog took a trail and followed it oft and back Into the midst of the crowd that had asenibled. Mr. Smith had insurance fo the orient of one thousand and fifty dol lars on his property. The b'irn alone was worth th.;t, and his loss is not half covered. Mr. Smith's neighbors gathered in yesterday in the usual Union county style and put up a tem porary building in place of the barn to be used till he can rebuild. Financial Report.
