That Huerta's remnant aftny is merely a band of "assassins," that the flower of his army died at Torreon under General Veiasco .that "On to Mexico!" is not the battle cry of the United States forces, but "Blockade all the norts!" and that Tampico will be cleaned up next is the opinion ex pressed by John Lind. Mr. Lind was the special represent ative of the president in Mexico for more than eight months. It is be liorcd in official circles that the ad- 'vice he gave to the president and the cabinet on his return recently led to the vigorous methods in dealing with Mexico that have replaced the "watch ful waiting" policy. Mr. Lind is in constant conference with administra tion leaders, and is believed to know better than any other man in the Uni ted States, what his government is planning in the Mexican crisis. "Now that the United States has a big fleet in Mexican waters," he was asked, "will it Jiot be advisable under the circumstances to rush the army from Galveston to Vera Cruz and pro- eed dir-lly to Mexico City and take possession before Huerta can arrange for a stubborn defense of his capital?" "No, that is not the present inten tion," replied Mr. Lind. "As we are now in possession of Vera Cruz, the next step wil be to clean up Tampico. Then we should retain possession of both cities and also blockade all the remaining ports in Mexico. I do not anticipate any more .fighting, as Hu erta will have all he can do to contend with the advancing forces of the vic torious revolutionists." "Has Huerta an effective army?" "No,' the pick of his forces were , sent north, where they were annihi lated in and around Torreon. All he has left is some bands of hired assassins. "We have no quarrel with the revo lutionists; therefore while Huerta is blocked away from supplies the revo lutionists will push forward steadily and irresistibly. The end should not be far off so far as Huerta is concerned." Irni niT ni rnio inrui 1 1 uicrma SELECT OFFICERS i Postoffice Employes Perman ently Organized and Will,' Meet Every Two Weeks.

Flowers in the borne divert the mind and rest the weary eyes of the house wife and mother." A bouquet ia the sickroom aids in keeplns the mind off the dUease and often starts the brain on a new chan nel of thought that puts the patient on the road to recovery.
