WILSON REALIZES GRAVITY OF SITUATION Now Existing Between United States and the Country to the South NOT Tl BE STAMPEDED Chief Executive Makes It Plain Tlmt When Time Conies"' American Government Hill "ot lie Lacking In Action. .Washington.. ' March 2. ' Wilson revealed to tbo-'"1 who ; ed Mexican affri'is with him i that he fully realized the g. a c the situation resulting from the kill ing of William S. Benton, a Bri'f--1. subject, the reported murder of tav Bauch and Clemente Yet American, citizens and eneral Car ranza's denial of the right of the Un .r ed States to look after the interests , of foreigners generally in Mexico. The President spoke deploringly o armed intervention, but at the an: time, pointedly referred to the s:r and power of a country like the Uni ed States as being sufficient war ran for a calm and patient course w!.; compliance with the American de mands was being sought. Callers tot the impression from tl President that he was determine! r try every peaceful means at his d posal to solve the Mexican proble vr. but that he realized certain eve;t ties might mean a drastic course. i spoke with a firmness that sLc wi his intention not to be stampeded in- action by radical speeches in re gressbut with a hint that w hen th necessity arose, the American govti" ment could be exp cted to move de cisively and effectively. Upon Great Britain's attitude t: ward the Benton case depends large! the extent to whick the .United Set- e will become involved. Should Eng-: land show an inclination to let the Benton case await a final adjustica- tion at a time when a firm govern ment is established in Mexico th United States will not feel called upon to challenge General Cat ranza s spec ific refusal to supply the Washingtor ; administration with information about Benton's death. Representations have been made U ; General Carranza, it is understood through American Consul Simpich at Nogales, and on their outcome de pends whether or not the expedition which had planned to go to Chihua hua from Juarez yesterday to exam ine Benton's body will carry out it? mission. ever, is taking it for granted that ar- Villa soon will be approved by Car ranza. "We are waiting for the details to be completed," said Secretary Bryan It was his only comment. Administration officials realize that in not communicating first with Car ranza they have offended his persona' dignity, and they hope to overcome this by consulting him now, impress ing upon the Constitutionalist chiei I incidentally that the American gov-; ernment does not think formalities ought to stand in the way of obtain ing proper protection for foreigners. General Carranza's declaration that foreign governments should address him about the welfare of their sub-l jects led to a visit to Secretary Bryai today by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambassador, and Senor Riano ', the Spanish ambassador. Both Spalij ! and Great Britain have recognized ! the Huert government and have Lee looking to the United States to act for them in Northern Mexico. Tl is every indication that this court will be continued, and it is clei? established that Carranza's maneuve will not lead the British governmen; into any recognition or other dealing with him. President Wilson explained to cal ers that many foreign governmen tj ml Hafslrpd the United States to loo? after their subjects hut of course har no right to demand it and were not demanding it. Being a fanatic may be merely one ; of the steps to success. COLLECTIBLE ANYWHEAE An annuity is a permanent letter of credit, good as long as you live, as true as you live.

The first steamers to arrive since Sunday morning reached quarantine ; oJay. The Philadelphia, of the Amer can Line, 26 hours late, loomed up a; : glass ship, as she was covered' from i. em to stern with ice and snow, tut. A. R. Mills said the voyage was the roughest of the line's 230 trips ' during sixteen years. New England escaped the brunt of be storm which was centered in thf -cinity of New York today, although Irlgh winds tangled up telephone and telegraph wires and heavy rains in the New Hampshire water sheds caused fears of serious floods. In East Manchester, N. H., boats anc7 d in one small Yaliey where water covered the first floors of the houses.. Trolley traffic in Man-) Chester was brought to a standstil j when the rapidly melting snow banks flooded the tracks.

Wesley (Red) Simon, on trial here on a charge o? murdering Emmett Carroll in a ganr feud nearly a year ago today was shot and killed In a nerby saloon during a recess of the court in which he was being tried. Shortly after the killing Henry Zang, principal witness for the prosectuion, surrendered a the Central Police Station, saying he had had some trouble with Simon. The sheriff who had feared an at tack would be made on Simon, had detailed (four special policemen to guard him in the court house. When the shooting occurred they were stand ing on a street corner two blocks "if-" inin writes "D. D. D. la superior to any thing I have ever found. Soft and soothing, yet a powerful agent." To do the work, D. D. E. Prescrip tion must be applied according' to direction given In the pamphlet around every bottle. Follow these di rections and see! And it certainly takes away the itch at once the moment the liquid Is ap plied. The skin is soothed calmed so thoroughly refreshed delightfully cooled. All druggists of standing have the famous specific as well as the efficient D. D. D. Skin Soap. But we are so confident of the mei its of this prescription that we will refund the purchase price of the first full size bottle if it fails to reach your case. You alone are to Judge. 6QLDSB0RD HONORED APT. E. A. SLMKINS UNANIMOUS CHOICE FOR MAJOR TO SUC CEED .MA. I. PACE RESIGNED.

In the summer of 1873 there could be seen winding its way over the pub lic roads of Granille and adjoining tounties a very robust man with a wagon full of children. This was Mr John H. Mills with a group of children , from the Oxford Orphan Asylum. This ' constituted the first Singing Class ; from this Institution. It was the begin- I ning of a career which has made the organization one of the most widely known in the State. This Class has also been a means of stirring the hearts and enlisting the sympathies and co-operation of the citizenship of the State in the Orphanage work. This Class makes a tour of the State each year, touching nearl" every coun ty and most of the towns. Because of the character of the work and the merits of the concerts it has grown in favor with the people more and more each year. The Class has just started out from Oxford on its first or North Eastern trip for thi3 Spring. During the Sum mer the tiJie will be spent, for the most part, in the Western section of the State. Later in the Fall the trip will be made through the South East ern section of the State. The Class is starting out most aus piciously this year and we predict that it will receive even a more hearty welcome than ever before. Many are called, but more are bluffed.
