"But now tho church. Is awakening to tho fact that children should bo reared In the way of Christian .falth from the nursery upward. I believe thoro Is In this country today a great spiritual awaken ing, and tho church is beginning to see that it has turned over entirely too many of Us functions to the state." Tho vice p csldent also let It bo known that some day he would forget all of tho other political parties and join the so cialist. ."But," he added, "I shall nover do this until It becomes a frlond of tho church. Never while It flaunts on the streets a red banner In the face of faith In God and the marriage service. The socialism In which I believe and to which hope some day to adhere, Is not that which concerns Itself with consideration of power and property', but that of spirit."

Gonoral Huerta has authorized the Mexican mediation dologatos to submit his resignation, in caso such a courso in found necessary to a settlement in poaco negotiations. This was stated positively in dispatches today from a thoroughly competent diplomatic aourco in Mexico City to one- of the foreign ropreaontatlvos hore, and confirms intimations givon by friends of tho delogates here yesterday. According to thla Information from Mexico City, General Huerta at first au thorized the delegates to dlsouss only tho question ot the Tampico conflict, leading to the American occupation ot Vera Cruz. Later the Mexican dictator, It Is explained, came to recognize the necessity of a broader settlement and then conveyed to the delegates assur ances that he was prepared to step down should this course be found necessary by them. Problem ot Interrejrnam. Tli a problem causing chief concern to diplomats In Mexico City now. Is that of tu form of administration to be eatab llehsd during the Interregnum before, a constitutionally elected president could assume office. No Intimations concern ing the name of a possible successor to Huerta were contained In tho dispatch, this subject being one in which It Is necessary to consult the opinion of con stitutionalists and other leaders In Mexico. Supreme Court Justice Lamar and Frederick W. Lehmann, "who will repre sent the United States at the peace con ferance at Niagara Falls, Ontario, today arranged to leave Washington at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. This arrangement will put the American delegates at the scene of the conference about the time the Mexican delegates arrive there from New York. Ilaerta Administration Diasolvtnr Tho information of Huerta' attitude agrees with tho view obtained by some of the closo friends of the Mexicans dur ing their stop hero. According to thla view the delegates realized the present administration at Mexico City was fast going to pieces, and it was Inevitable that Huerta give place to some other author ity. It did not, however, disclose that Huerta had authorized his resignation, If they considered that courso necessary, and this more definite phase waa first made known In the dispatch through dtplomatlo channels. Who will come arter Huerta, whether an Individual or a provisional commission, still Is an open question, but It is gath ered the succession will not be likely to fall on military leaders who have come to prominence "by arbitrary forces. Mllltar yPartlsan Barred. "The Huerta delegates never will agree to the selection for provisional president of any of the constitutionalist military men," said a man who had a long talk with the Huerta representatives here yes terday. "They want some one, however, for pro visional president, Who will guarantee a fair election to all parties concerned and who has not been a military partisan.' This view coincides with that obtained from other persons who had Informal talks with the Huerta delegates here. The three Mexicans did not divulge the, nsture of their long conference with Huerta before their departure. Nion Flrt to Arrive, NIAGARA FALLS, Ont.
