Ultimatum
'
. WASHINGTON, April 18. Huerta will salute tho Amer
ican flag at Tampico before 6 o'clock p. ra. Sunday or President
Wilson will go before congress in a joint session Monday and
ask for authority to take such measures as may bd necessary.
This statement was issued at the White House.
"General Hucrta is still insisting on doing something less
than has been demanded, and something less than would consti'
tute an acknowledgement that his representatives were entirely
in the wrong in.the indignities they have put on the govornmont
of tho United States.
"The president has determined that if General Huerta has
not yielded by 6 o'clock on Sunday afternoon he 'will take the
matter to congress on Monday."

sion to Mexico City, orders were flashing out from tho Navy
department, getting all the forces already in Mexican waters

WASHIn6tON, April IS.-The Presi
dent has not made known what "plan of
aotlon he will lay beloro congress In
the message on the Mexican situation.
But tho discussion up to this time has
Indicated that the next decisive step
would be one of those measures described
by international authorities "as measures
short of '"war," known as reprisal or
pacific b'rockade.
The pacific broclcade has not been fav
orably regarded, for while it would put
a restraint on the ships of Mexico,' It
would not assure a stop In the shipping
of foreign powers dealing with Mexico.
Reprisal, therefore, has appeared to fur.
nlsh the method usual fn redressing an.
offonso such- as the one nqrr being dealt
with. ' , , ' ,
Reprisal Is usually carried out by the
sequestration or-sclxure of property .be
longing to tho offending state shd Jwld,v

authorities hold this is a, "means of put
ting stress on a wrong dolilg state by
something short of war. "
Dismissing ithe. .orababllltles. Senator
Simmons,, one ?o the administration lead
ers, said that -the action of congress
doubtless would be similar to 'that taken
before the war with 'Spain In Cuba.'
Congress Will Hack President.
"Congress undoubtedly would ' give the
president plenary" power to deal with
Mexico as he saw fit to uphold the honor
of this government," said Senator Sim
mons, "it would adopt a general resolu
tion broad In Its terms, that would give
the president a free. hand.
Authority to uphold the honor and to
afford protection to life and property
certainly would coma within the author
isation that congress would give. Con
gress certainly would respond decisively
and quickly It the president- should rind
it necessary to communicate to It in this,
matter.", '
Acting Chairman: Shively of the sen
ate foreign relations Committee hurried
to the White house anU conferred with
the president and some of . the cabinet
members. He read the exchanges of
official dispatches with Mexico City and
the president's statement. y
"Everything Is satisfactory," was his
only comment.
Other senators, republicans and demo
crats alike, expressed confidence that,
congress would promptly support the
president )n any emergency. Senators
Smoot. Sutherland- and Cummins, re
publicans, asserted that" congress would
bo quick to act If Huerta should fall to
accede to President 'Wilson's final terms.
"Even the patience of the American
people has a limit, which has been
reached," said Senator John Sharp Will
tarns, democrat.
Senator Sheppard of Texas declared
that the sentiment of the American

"I don't think there'll be fighting," was
I his only comment on the 'situation.
; Secretary Daniels later said that he

The secretary made an, appeal for the

In the cause ot clean politics and better

Daniels said, would he the scholar the
man who stood fearless of 'he sneer ot

Mr. Daniels took as the keynote ot his
remarks, "thejicholar In politics," and,
as an illuttnmon of the need of men

An Investment-
Not An Expense
It doesn't matter whether
you are a small shop-keeper or
a large shop-keeper, a email
manufacturer or a large one.
If you make something to sell,
or buy something to cell, you
need advertising. s
The ultimate consumer needs
to be told about tho merits of
things be buys. You expect
your salesmen and your sam
ples to speak for you. You
also need advertising jo speak
for you. '
It Js a salesperson of the
highest prder. It Is the beet
Investment you can make. Tho
only time It is on expense Is
when you don't tell the truth,
or have poor merchandise, or
put your advertisement where
it can't be read by possible
customers.
