WASHINGTON. June 19. Mediation
stands today on the brink of tallure.
Only concessions by President "Wilson or
Huerta can save It.
While the Niagara conference halted
Minister Naon of Argentina, one of the
tnree South American mediators, returned
to Washington for & conference with Sec
retary Bryan and probably to see Presi
dent Wilson. He planned to start back
to Niagara Palls tonight carrying word
whether the conference shall proceed or
disband.
Announcement at the White House that
the president stands squarely on the prin
ciples enunciated In the statement of the
American delegates seemed to make It
certain that the United States will not
be satisfied with anything less than the
choice ot a man approved by the consti
tutionalists to head the new provisional
government. The Arm attitude of the
Huerta delegates for a so-called "neu
tral" seemed to hold out no hope of a
break In the deadlock.
The situation, admittedly another crisis,
was discussed In the cabinet meeting and
some sort of an official statement from
i the president himself informing the pub
lic 'fully, In case mediation falls, was
promised.
Officials closest to the president de
clared that all talk of further armed In
tervention or ot recognition of Carranza
or Villa at this stage was unfounded.
If mediation, falls the president plans
to Issue a statement fully informing the
publlo on the position of the adminis
tration and outlining his future course.
The president has no plans for going
before congress with any phase of the
Mexican question, and all talk of further
armed intervention is groundless at the
prftsent time, according to officials. The
same, they say, may be said of reports
' that the United States plana to recognize
General Carranza, General Villa or any
other faction in Mexico.
Break Is Expected.
The luue of the note of the Mexican
delegates by Senor Rabasa, and the reply
ot the American delegates, published last
night after It had been approved by
President Wilson, admittedly has brought
the mediation conference to a point where
It generally is expected to fall unless one
side gives way.
The Huerta delegates, standing firm for
the selection of a "neutral" for the pro
visional presidency, and the 'American
delegates no less firm that the new ex
ecuttve shan be one fully approved by
the constitutionalists, are confronted with
a situation which only a modification of
demands on one side can ameliorate. The
general belief was that Mr. Naon had re
turned to Washington to use his efforts
with the president and secretary of state
to prevent a break. It was among the
possibilities, too, that he might personally
present the names of some of the men
suggested for the presidency of Mexico.
Almost at the hour of Mr. Naon's ar
rival, a long mersage was received at the
White House from the American dele
gates.
The cabinet assembled at the White
House as the news of Minister Naon's
return became known. Evidently none of
the other members had heard the news
officially, for they received It with ex
presslons of surprtso and greatest inter
est. It had been planned to give over
the entire meeting to a discussion of the
Mexican situation,
After a short stay at his hotel, Minis
ter Naon 'went to the Argentine legation.

many a year. So Just learn all you can,
then sit down and write your own Im

Tho new decision provided that where

Twelve Omaha High school graduates

from signing tho diplomas. These
diplomas have not yet been prepared.
Miss Moliugh's protest arose over the
.Interpretation of a rule requiring stu
dents to take the whole year's work In
"ono-year studies." The teacher's com
mtttre held that the rule meant merely
that the students should show good faith
in taking the year's work, but that failure
In the second err)stcr did not disbar the
etudent, from graduating, provided suf
ficient credits had .been made, and the
first semester's work was satisfactory,

In Miss Mcilugh' opinion the rule
means that a pupil shall pass in tho
study tho second semester and secure the
full, year' credits. Thirty credits are
necessary to graduation from the Omaha
High school. Tho students tn question
do not have thirty points to their crdelt

"By the People
for the People"
"Newspapers aro the only ad
vertising medium that hold a
direct commission from tho
people," said f. Irving Fletcher
In a recent public address.
Newspapers are only great In
Influence as they serve the
public.
They are published primarily
to give the news and they carry
advertisements incidentally.
So accustomed are newspaper
readers to seeing advertising in
their favorite paper that they
regard it as part of the news
their money pays for.
The newspaper brings the ad
vertising into tho homo. BE
CAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO
HEAD IT.
National advertisers are now
finding out what local dealers
discovered long ago that no
advertising will produce so
much business for so little
money as newspaper advertis
ing. Natioual advertisers are in
vited to write the Bureau ot
Advertising, American News
paper Publishers Association.
