LACK OF SANITATION AND BAD WATER GREATEST FOE IN MEXICO, SAYS SURGEON * NEW YORK, April 24.—Bad water will be the army's worst foe in Mexico If war is declared, according to L Colonel M. L. Maus, chief surgeon of V the First Army Division, which has fc headquarters on Governor’s Island, i The water supply and sanitation sys * tern of Mexico, he explained, were so f far behind modern methods that if an army should be sent int > Mexico City an entirely neiv system v/ould have to be provided. He estimated that millions of dollars would be ex pended by the United States for sani tation, and that from a health stand point American occupation of Mexico would be a good thing for that coun try. To insure pure drinking water, Colonel Maus said that filters would be a part of every army division equipment, and if the w'ater proved too impure for filtration it would have to be boiled. He did not express con cern because of disease among the soldiers except from typnis in Mexico City, which is responsible, he said, for the large mortality rate among Infants In that city. Witn the sanitation system that the army would provide in the capital city, even typhus, he declared, could be conquered. BRAZIL 10 ACT FOR Selection Proves as False Car ranza’s and Huerta’s Statements. WASHINGTON, April 24.—Secre tary of State Bryan has announced that at the request of this govern ment the Brazilian Legation at Mex ico City would take charge of the archives and effects of the American •embassy in that city and represent the United States there diplomatical ly. Also In such sections of Mexico as seems necessary the Brazilian gov ernment will assume charge of the archives and effects as well as tho duties of the consular representatives of the United States. In cities or towns where Brazil has not consular representatives France will act for this government. Secretary Bryan acknowledged, however, that no definition had yet been made as to which consular of lices would be turned over to Brazil and which American consuls would remain In Mexico. In other words, the arrangements effected today insofar as the diplo matic relations of the United States are concerned were definite, but its consular relations will remain in a somewhat mixed relationship which depend largely upon the attitude to be assumed by the Constitutionalists toward the United States. It is like ly for the present that consular rep resentatives will be withdrawn from the Huerta territory but permitted to remain In the portion of Mexico controlled by Carranza. Consul-Gen eral Shanklin, at Mexico City, will exercise Ills own Judgment about whether to leave at once or not. me secretary 01 state said that thus far there had been no suggestion of relieving Consul Carothers or any of his colleagues in the consular ser vice in the states of Chihuahua, So nora and Neuvo Leon. In selecting the Brazilian govern ment as the representative of the United States during active or po- | tential hostilities it was pointed out by Mr. Bryan in answer to questions that tho republic had not recognized General Huerta as the provisional president of Mexico, nor had it es tablished direct dealings with the de facto government in Mexico City. The selection of Brazil, one of tho triune of major Latin-American re publics, as the temporary representa tive of the interest of the United States in Mexico was generally com mended in Washington. It was pointed out that the choice of Brazil at tills particular Juncture would have a tendency to nullify the suggestion conveyed in certain an nouncements by Carranza that all Latin-America looked with disfavor, distrust and suspicion upon the con duct of the United States. It was also pointed out that if a European nation hnd been selected that might have given General Huerta occasion to reiterate his charge that the United Stutes was unable to find another friend in the western hemisphere. The Brazilian embnssy said that It Would have-no announcement to make regarding the newly established re lation of "next friend of the United States” in Mexico. It was said that affairs in Mexico City would he ad justed at once in consonace with the I agreement reached, and Senor Car doza da Oliveira, the Braz'llan min ister to Mexico, would forthwith as sume charge of America’s property, archives and Interests. Not Quite So Bad. "J am sorry to learn your mother Is HI,” said the sympathizing teacher to the little girl who had come in late. "Is she sick abed?” “Not quite,” replied the truthful child.

P. A. S. Franklin, vice-president of the International Mercantile Marine, is in communication with the Wash ington authorities, and said today that It was possible that the govern ment would charter both the New York and the Philadelphia, also an American line vessel, to carry sol diers to Mexico. The Philadelphia is due to arrive here tomorrow. Each of these steamships could carry 2,000 men cqmfortubly. When they were , used by the government in 1898 the ! Philadelphia was renamed the U. fi. >S. Yale and the New York the U. S. S. Harvard, and did scout service. Mexicans in New York Fear Arrest and Assassination NEW YORK, April 24.—Scores of non-English speaking Mexicans in New York, according to Manuel A. Esteva, Mexican consul-general here, are seeking transportation to the West Indies or to Europe. Consul Es teva declared that Is was impossible to convince these people that their feRrs of arrest and assassination as a result of the Mexican hostilities were groundless. Many of these panic-stricken people visit the con sulate daily and insist that they will be attacked in the streets of the city if war is declared. The well-educated Mexican resi dents of the city, he sAld, of course have no such fears. Volunteer Guard Patrols Eagle Pass; Arrest Mexicans EAGLE PASS, Texas, April 24.— Fifty citizens, the first detail of a volunteer guard organized at a mass meeting, patroled the streets here last night. By midnight twenty Mexicans had been arrested for dis playing pistols and creating disturb ances. Saloons were closed and Mexi can residents were instructed to keep within their homes. Refugees who reached Eagle Pass report that Mexican Federal troops who withdrew from Piedras Negras are threatening to return and attack Eagle Pass when troops stationed here leave for El Paso. William P. Blocker, United States consul, re mained in Piedras Negras last night, warning Americans in his district to leave. Princeton Ready to Rally to Flag, Says Pres. Hibben BOSTON, April. 24.—New England Alumni of Princeton University, at their annual meeting last night, sent to President Wilson a "message of appreciation for the heavy responsi bilities and cares borne for the na tion, with assurances of undivided support.” President Hibben, the principal speaker, said that Princeton was ready to rally to the flag if the need arose, just as Princeton men had done in the past. Perkins Tells Students of Future Business Methods PRINCETON, April 24.—George W. Perkins, speaking before the Philadel phian Society last night, told several hundred undergraduates that “busi ness methods of the future”, were go ing to be vastly different from those of the past and present. He said the predominant note of the future busi ness world would be "the art to get on with people, to respect the rights of others, to learn that your life must be one of giving if it is to be one of receiving, that in your day and time more than ever before in the history of the w'orld, the motto will be “Live and let live.” Sensational Month=End Clearance Sale COATS AND DRESSES (P bsual $9-$12 Values Your Choice THE COATS are in various models, including swagger Halmacaans, in mixtures, checks and salt and pepper tweeds, with raglan shoulder and convertible collar.
