R, Declares There Have Been Some Cltl- xens in This Country Who Have Not Thought of Amer­ ica First. Washington, Oct. 13. -- President Wilson for the first time bitterly at­ tacked hyphenated Americans who sought to stir up trouble for the United States. His attack was made in a stirring address on Monday before the Daughters gf American Revolution, who celebrated the twenty-fifth anni­ versary «of the founding of their so ciety. The president's fiancee, Mrs. Norman Gait, and her mother, Mrs. Boiling, were in the audience. "I would a great deal rather draw pepper up my nose than incur the hos­ tility and dislike of my neighbors," the president said. "Anything is prefer able to ostracism. This is just the sort of discipline should be meted out to those within our borders who do not think of America first.4 "Now we have come to a time of special stress and test," the president declared. "There never was a time when we needed more clearly to con­ serve the principles of our own plat­ form than this present time. There have been some among us who have not thought first of America, who have thought to use the might of America in some matter not of America's originative and they have forgotten that the first duty of a nation is to express its principles in the action of the family of nations and not to seek to aid anft abet any rival or contrary ideal. "I would not be afraid upon the test of 'America first' to take a census of all foreign-born citizens of the United States, for I know that the VaJ3t majority of them came here be- jCause they believe in America. I ;fm not deceived as to the balance of {Opinion among the foreign-born citi- /•ens, but I am in a hurry to have an !opportunity to have & line-up and let the men who are thinking first ;4f other countries to stand on one !|iide--biblically, it should be the left and all those that are for America first, last and all the time on the oth­ er side."

"Smokeless powder has done away with the smoke of battle and these patent silencers have stilled the can­ non's roar." "Just so. And it is pretty rough on us descriptive writers, I can assure you."---Louisville Courier-Journal. Washington, Oct. 12.--A formal an­ nouncement Was made on Saturday by the secretary of state following a Pan-American conference which as­ sures the recognition of Gen. Verius- tiano Carranza as president <^e facto of Mexico. Here 1b the statement issued by Mr. Lansing. "The conferees, after careful con­ sideration of the facts, have found that the Carranzista party is the only party possessing the essentials for recogni­ tion as the de facto government Of Mexico, and . they have so reported to their respective governments." In accordance with this decision the United States immediately will accred­ it a diplomatic representative to Gear eral Carranza. It is believed in Washington the Eu­ ropean governments will follow the lead of the United States. The president is considering Rob­ ert P. Skinner, who has been with­ drawn as consul general in London because of British objections to the character of trade reports he submit­ ted to the state department, for ap­ pointment as ambassador to the Car­ ranza government. Diplomatic relations thus being re­ stored between the United States apd Mexico, as presided over by General Carranza, President Wilson will enter into negotiations for settlement of the various questions which have arisen as a result of the revolutions that have devastated the neighborhood "re­ public." It will be the president's duty, in accordance with the obligations to the head of a friendly state, to prevent the United States from serving as a base for revolutionary movements. He will issue a proclamation reap­ plying the Embargo on munitions, as far as Mexico is concerned. In other words, General Villa is no longer to enjoy any support from this country.

Little Village of Waterford, Maine, Where He Was Born, Has Under* gone Few Changes During the Passing Years. Waterford, Me., the birthplace and boyhood home of Artenjus Ward, is about fifty miles north of Portland and half a dozen miles from the nearest railway station. Waterford village is a comfortable, sleepy little place, whose homes cluster around a small, tree shadowed common. The houseB are nearly all wooden, are painted white and have green blinds. The vil­ lage supports two stores and a church. "At one end of the common is a signboard, which reads, '10 miles to Norway.' Other places roundabout are Sweden, Denmark, Paris and Naples," writes Clifton Johnson in the Spring­ field Republican. "I found the village delightful in its quiet serenity, and it particularly ap­ pealed to the fancy in the evening when the cows were driven from the outlying pastures to their home sta­ bles and came pacing along under the elms of the common, while the cow­ bells hung on their necks gave forth a dull toned music. It was a much live­ lier place at the time Charles Farrar Brown, better known aB Artemus Ward, was born there in 1834. Many emigrants passed through it on their way to the West, and the stages were crowded with passengers in pursuit of business or pleasure. The hotels presented an especially busy scene on the* arrival of the stage, and the sev­ eral storeB had a large trade in fur­ nishing supplies to lumbermen. One of these stores was kept by Artemus Ward's father, who died in 1847. "The humorist died in 1867, which is not so long ago but that people can be found in his home region who remem­ ber him distinctly. One of the village women said to me: 'The place has not changed a great deal since he was a boy here. It is about the same size, there is the same white church, and many of the same houses stsnd around the common. The old "Brown house." where Charles was born, burned in 1871, but "Aunt Car'line," as his moth­ er was called in Waterford, had long before moved to what had been her father's house. That is here yet, a sub­ stantial, two-story building, under the elms on the borders of the common, and it is still owned in the family. " 'After Charles had left Waterford and become famous he usually re­ turned every year to spend the sum­ mer with his mother. He wasn't very strong. He was tubercular. His hands were whiter than any woman's, al­ most. They yrere small and long, and I recall hearing my father say that Charles couldn't wear bracelets be­ cause his wrists were as large as his hands, and the bracelets would slip ofT. Father and he Were great cronies. They were own cousins and were said to look alike.' "Another contemporary of ArtemUs Ward's whom I met was a stooping, elderly village man who walked with a cane. I called at his house in the evening, and I called early because I had been told that he 'went to bed with the chickens.' We sat In his kitchon in the gradually increasing dusk of the twilight. " 'Yes, I knew Charles Brown,' he said, 'and I helped lower him into the ground. His body was brought here about the beginning of summer from Bngland in a metallic casket all sealed and soldered up. The casket was cut open at hts mother's request, and we see it was Charles inside. There was a funeral at the house, attended by a few of the neighbors, and then we went to the cemetery at South Water­ ford. We didn't have a hearse, but used a two-seated spring wagon, as was the custom here. By taking out the seats room was made for the box, and the driver would sit up on that. The others went in their own teams. " 'When Charles was here on his summer visits he didn't do nothln ex­ cept have a good time. He was a laxy critter, and he would lay around on the grass or go to ride or do anything he see fit. It was a kind of a restful vacation, I should call it, but after he went into the show business I guess he may have worked some getting ready for the winter campaign. He was a bright, witty feller--no mistake about that. He had a vein of wit that all the Browns had. Cyrus, his broth­ er, he was pretty cute, too." "Artemus died in Bngland on March 9, 1867, and the will is dated February 23 of the same year. It is not the ex- tyaordinar^ document that the popular imagination pictures, and its most in- teresting portions are these: " 'I desire that my body, may |>ev " "Traried in Waterford, Me.

" 'I bequeath the residue of my es­ tate toward forming a fund for the founding of an asylum for worn-out printers in the United States, and I direct that the same be paid to Mr. Horace Greeley of New York." "Whatever personal property the humorist had in his possession in Eng­ land at the time he died mysteriously disappeared, but a few thousand dol­ lars were realized on his house at Yonkers.

Six million miles or more on the Atlantic highway without shipwreck is the record of Howard Ernest Hins- ley, purser of the American liner St. Louis. Having reached the age of sixty, he gave notice, on the last trip of the vessel, of his determination to retire from the sea. He claims the record of having crossed the Atlantic 2,000 times. His first call to the deep was in 1867 as a mate's boy on the City of Baltimore. A year later he went to the City of Antwerp, and aft­ erward for two years be was with the navy.
