THE MEXICAN SITUATION TENSE Washington Keep Hands 06 Until After Conference of Diplomats. THREE METHODS CONSIDERED Another German Warship Is Sent To Mexican Waters. Washington, Oct. 17 Administra tions officials up to the hour of closing the Government departments todayJ were witnout advices as to the result of the reported conference in Mexico City of the entire diplomatic corps. This development in the situation, following close upon President Wilson's sharp vote declaring that the United States was shocked at the lawlessness of General Huerta in ass uming dictotar ship over Mexico, was taken to mean here that foreign Governments might bring ..ressure to bear in an effort to compose the siuation. - General Huerta's decree taking unto himself legislative as well as executive powers has swept aside all hope here that the Huerta regime would re-establish constitutional government or be able to cope with the increasingly vigorous fighting of the Constitutionalists. Both President Wilson and Secretary Bryan are turning over in their minds the possibilities of a more aggressive course of action by the United States. Three methods of deafing with the sit uation are being suggested as open to the Washington Government. First, there is ever-recurrent sugges tion in official circles of a military and naval demonstration which would serve as a recautionary move in case a forcible policy is later required For the pres ent, however, the President and his advisers are concentrating on a constru -tive solitin by the use of peaceful measures. Second, many officials think a series of strong demands made upon the authorities at Mexico City to force the i ni media l ecli mi nat ion of General Huerta would complete the record of the United States in attempting, to assist as "the nearest neighbor." in solving the difficulties of the southern republic. It has been suggested by some of the officials that should such demands be ignored, the American Government would be justified in throwing their support to the Constitutionalists in the north. Third, the United States could formal ly announce its absolute termination of relations w th the Huerta officials, leav ing it to the influence both of the Con stitutionalists movement and various liberal elements in Mexico City to secure the elimination of Huerta and the establishment of a provisional gov ernment, with which the Constitution alists would negotiate for peace and arrange a free election in compliance with Mexican law. Secretary Bryan left here tonight for Waterloo, Iowa, and before his depart -ture told his callers that he did, not ex pect the American Government to take any further steps for a few days at least. The dispatch of an additional German warshipp to Mexican waters did not bring forth any comment, as the Wash in ton Adm n is t rat ion looks upon such action ,as well upon the conference of the deputies in today in Mexico City, as the beginning of a series of manifes tations by the governments of the world generally that may have a sobering effect on Huerta. The arrest of General Maass, the Mexican Federal officer, on a civil war rant while traveling through the United States to get from Piedras Negras, Mexico, to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, ex cited attention, chiefly because the War Department's permission was over ridden. As the General was released on bail, however, it is not believed that the Huerta Govdcrnment will make any representations in the matter ARM GROUND IIP IN COTTON GIN Fort Barnwell Young Man Narrow Escape From Death. Has A SON OF W. R. SAULS Physician Takes Mora Than Hun dred Stitches In In jured Member. An accident which came near being fatal occurred yesterday afternoon at Fort Barnwell when Luby Sauls, the twenty-year old son of W. R. Sauls had his arm caught in a cotton gin owned and operated by his father. The young man's arm and hand was so badly injured that it will probably be necessary to amputate it. Young Sauls was engaged in taking seed from beneath the gin when the accident occurred. In come way a trap door fell through and the young man, in trying to keep his body from falling in the machine, threw out his hand and this was caught in the gin's teeth. The victim made frantic efforts to extricate his hand but these-proved without avail and slowly his arm was drawn into the machine and did not stop nntil his body was wedged against the trap door. Then the sharp knives continued to tear away the flesh until the pwer could be cut off from the machine. The young man was extricated from his predicament' and a physician was summoned from Dover. His father was in New Bern and he was informed of the accident over the telephone. Register of Deeds Stephen Fowler offered to take Mr. Sauls to his home in his automobile and the trip was begun a few minutes after the telephone message had been recieved. Upon arrival on the 'scene the physi cian stated that there was the barest possibility that the injured member could be saved. More than a hundred stitches Were taken in the young man's arm. Last night he was resting as well as could be expected under the circumstances. 11 ' . I 117 111 1 Woman s florid Prettiest Princess In All Europs.

Why will women take chances with an operation or drag out a sickly, half hearted existence, missing three-fourths of the joy of living, when they can find health in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ? For thirty years it has been the stand ard remedy for female ills, and has re stored the health of thousands of women who have been troubled with such ail ments as displacements, inflammation, ulceration, tumors, irregularities, etc. If you want special advice write to lydia E.

The first of these will be a handsoemly engraved solid gold medal made from a twenty-dollar gold piece. The second will be a silver medal about two inches in diameter, and the third and fourth will be bronze medals. All be will engraved with the winner's name and presented after the contest by Governor Craig. Besides these medals, each of the champions will receive a large, beautifully engraved certificate. The Raleigh merchants will have six teen prizes for the best Raleigh babies, the Wake County Betterment and other organizations are offering sixteen or more for the best babies in Wake county outside of Raleigh. Two other sets of prizes have been provided, one for babies east and another for babies west of Wake county. The total value if these prizes will be from $400 to $500. Of course the .object of the contest I is not the prizes, either the giving or the winning of them, but to teach parents how to raise better babies and provide a stimulus from the competition. We all need stimulation of that kind. Similar contests in other States have proved of great educational value, There has been noticeable improvement in babies that have been in one contest and have been entered in another the next year. It is contemplated having a special set of prizes next year for the babies showing the greatest improvement. A baby that made a very poor showing one year in Iowa developed into a prize winner the next year, simply because the parents, having been shown the baby's, defects, iset to work -and succeeded in overcom ing them.
