Council Bluffs
TO FEDERATE FATHERS' CLUB
Sixth Organisation of This Kind is
Under Way.
WORK TO COMMON PURPOSE
Iteetlnir 'Will lie Held Tuesday
Night at Washington Arenno
Building to Arrange for
Organisation.
The sixth Fathers' club was organlied
last night at the Eighth avenue school,
and on next Tuesday evening the seventh
will he formed at he Washington avenue
bulldlnff. The plan Is to carry the or
ganization work forward until there Is
an organization In each of the schools
of the city. The federation of all the
clubs, similar to that effected by the
Mothers' clubs, will follow, with the
probability of a further Joint federation
of the two central organizations, thus
giving the schools of Council Bluffs the
most unique organized support to be
found anywhere.
This matter was discussed Informally
at the Eighth avenue school last night.
Although one or the smaller buildings,
the meeting there last night was the
largest that has yet been held since
Stymest Stevenson started the movement
several months ago and which has al
ready given Council Bluffs national prom
inence. Committees from five clubs
formed part of the audience. Tho dele
gations were from Madison avenue school,
where the first club was formed; the
schools designated as Avenue B and Ave
nue El and Oak and Pierce streets. All
Joined in helping to form the new Eighth
avenue club.
A large enrollment of men living In the
district whose children attend the school
followed. Mr. Stevenson explained the
purpose to be the general improvement
of the schools through the intelligent and
general co-operation of the parents with
the teachers. The slogan chosen as the
motto of the first club, "To mako the In
different different," was put forward as
the general plan. The first act of the
new club was to name a committee to
join the committees from the five other
clubs to attend the meeting at the Wash
ington avenue building Tuesday night.

Mexican Forced
to Salute
Flag
Allen Westerdahl, only, son of tho late
George W. Westerdahl, Union Pacific Im
migration commissioner, writes to rela
tives here from Staunton. Va., of the In
tensity of the war feeling prevailing
ameBg the pupils of the military acad
emy there, where he is receiving a mili
tary training. Among the students are a
number of Mexican boya of the better
class. The .Council Blurts boy says the
wore serious parts of the education of
these Mexican youths is being Under
taken by the patriotic American boys.
The Mexicans are being taught to respect
tne American flag. Every day, the
dusky-hued youths are lined up and 'com
pelled to salute the flag; When the
news from Mexico shows particularly
gross and wanton Insults and outrages
"upon Americans the Mexican boya are
compelled to salute the flag several times
a day. They take it good-naturedly and
announce their willingness to fight for
It If the chance is given, "but you can't
believe a Mexican under any clroum
etanees at any time," Allen writes to his
guardian, his aunt. Miss Allen.
There are several South American and.
iwo or tnreo Japanese boys among tho
academy students, and, Westerdahl writes
that they are intensely patriotic and pro
American. Seamless gold wedding rings, 14, 18 and

Buenos Ayres Press
Disapproves Action
of the United States
BUENOS AYRES, April 25.-Tho press
of Buenos Ayres Is unanhnous In Its ex
pressions ot disapproval of the attitude
of the United States toward Mexico. La
N&clon, in an editorial today, said:
"President Wilson tried to mako Huerta
resign and tho revolutionists were count
ing on' trio sympathy ot the White House.
This would explain the conduct of Huerta
In tho Tamplco affair. The quick action
of the United Stages shows that they hod
Intended to Intervene. Tho memory of
this' conflict will live in the history of
the relations between the United States
and Latin America."
'President Wilson's message to con
gress does not seem to us to be an exhi
bition of statesmanship," declares La
Prensa. "The plan to overthrow Huerta
In order to Install a revolutionary gen
eral In his place would signify official
partiality on the part of the United States
without trying to bring about the
paolflcatlon of the country. Tho military
action by the United States alms at Mex
ico and not at Huerta. We fear a repeti
tion In Mexico of the protectorate system
the United States created In Cuba."
