NATIONAL TRIBUTE --:
TO DEAD MARINES
(PRESIDENT LAUDS HEROISM OF
THE FIRST WAR VICTIMS AT f
VERA CRUZ.
THOUSANDS LINE STREETS
President and Many Dignitaries Were
In Long Procession in New York.
Wilson's Speech.
New York. To the men of the navy
who died in the occupation of Vera
Cruz the city, the state and the na
tton paid tribute In a demonstration
chiefly remarkable for its silence and
solemnity. For four miles through
the city streets the funeral cortege
passed and , behind w'th bared head
rode the president.
Perhaps a million persons saw the
seventeen , coffins, each on a caisson;
borne from the Battery plaza in Low
er Manhattan to the navy yard In
. Brooklyn. Such was the feeling of the
massed thousands that the silence at
times was oppressive. There were a
few sporadic outbursts (f applause as
' the president's carriage passed, but
these were quickly hushed. , - .,
Though there were but seventeen
of the .dead in the procession, Secre
tary of jjfhe Navy Daniels made it :plain
that 'the 'ceremonies were for all who
had died at Vera Cruz not only the
seventeen whose bodies were brought
up by the cruiser Montana but also
for Clarence .Harshberger ,and . Henry
Pulliam, who have since' died. ' J ..."
The religious ceremony at the navy,
yard was more impressive, if . possible,
than was the sight of the slow mov
ing cortege,,, "I . never,was In a, 'J bat
tle or under fire," said President Wil
son in his brief address, "but I fancy
it is just as hard to do your, duty
when men are sneering at you, ' as
when they shoot, at ;you'. '..-.
"We have gone to Mexico," he said,
in another part of his address, "to
serve mankind if .wefcan, find the way.
We dont want to fight the Mexicans;
we want to serve them. . u ...!'
"A war of aggressipn; is.not a thing
in which it is proud 16 die, but a war
of service is a war in which it. is a
proud thing to die." - . -

The War 'Department was thejchief
center of tlctivity and while no author-,
itative. statement was : made beyond
Secretary Garrison's formal reply that
"no, orders 'for, any ' National troop'
movements have been sent," it became
known that the Administration was
considering .the question of sending
additional troops to Vera Cruz, and
probably would do ' so. This step,
would: not be intended as an aggres
sive measure, but as a' precaution
An evidence of the seriousness of.
conditions was contained in' a report
that -two German merchant' vessels
were about to arrive at Puerto Mexico
with arms and ammunition for
Huerta. It was realized that this, if
true, would- present an. incident simi
lar to the arrival of the Ypiranga at
Vera Cruz, whjch led tq the American
occupation bf that port.
Huerta's protest to the mediators'
that the United States had broken the
armistice by landing additional troops
at Vera 'Cru-z, was" considered by- the.

A threatening cloud disappeared
