E l CMS TOO ACTIVE In Mexican Revolution, Must Take The Consequences if - , , I Captured. : Washington, March 15. What may be considered in effect the official Mex ican reply to recent representatiocs said to have been made by the United States, asking as liberal treatment as possible for Americans caught bearing arms on Mexican territory is contained in a state ment made by Jose Yves Limantour, Mexican Minister of Finance. In substance it is indicated that capt ured American allies of the revolution ists will have to take their chances' with their Mexican rebel companions.' The intimation is strong that no preferential treatment can be accorded them.. This is considered to mean that under mar tial law they might te summarily tried and executed. : Minister L'inantour, after reading all dispatches from El Paso, Tex; outlined the alleged activities of Americans in Mexico, particularly in the destruction of railroad property and in the supply of arms and ammunition, said that he could not help being, annoyed by such reports and those of a similar character which he-considered clearly showed that Americans have been more active than Mexicans in the capacity of insurrec tionists in Northwestern Mexico. He added that Americans who have allied themselves with the insurrectionary movement in Mexico can scarcely ex pect protection longer under their own flag, and it would seem obvious that they should take their own chan ces when committing depredations up on property under a foreign flag.

Admits His Presidential Fitness. ' Chicago, -March 15 Congressman Champ Clark, of -Missouri, the coming speaker of the National House of Rep resentatives, has amended the famous saying of Horace Greeley, saying: ''Go West, young man; go West;"and made it read: "Uo South, my boy; go South." "The South is the place, and my ad vice is to go there. You won't eat as much as you dj here in the North, If you do, you'll die. Your clothing mu3t be lighter and therefore, less expensive. You won't have to buy enough fuel to speak of and you e-in allow your horta and cattle to graze out of doors thu year round. "Believe me, the South is the poor man's land, and you'll live to see the day when the South is going to be the richest part of the Unit-d States. 'Why say, I know a man who made $15,000 in one year off three acres of lettuce. Sound b fishy, doesn't it? True, though, for I took the pains to find mt. It's a great country, boys, and if you want a good tip,- follow my advice. That is go early to the Southland and grow up with its. progress. " - Congressman Clark "admitted" he would make a good Democratic candi date for President at the next election saying: 'Well the Democratic party might ro farther and fare worse and I think it will." He prophesied victory for the recip rocity measure and said of the tariff, "we can get by Mr, Taft with a few schedules, we hope, where we never could get past with a whole bill," Mr. Clark intimated that if Republi cans in the next H mae didn't like com mittee appointments they could hang for all the good it would do them. Only he said it is this way: "Thoe who don't like the appointments on take advan I tage of the great American privi'egeyof cussin." Are Yon Earning $100 a Month.
