Mediators Continue Sessions. ‘The mediating envoys continued the. seesions throughout the day. Neither the question of armistice nor the ap- parent uncertainty as to the time of arrival of the Mexican delegates was allowed to delay their general prepa- rations for the peace plan. Reports that the Mexican delegates would come by way of Salina Cruz and Vancouver and thence across Canada to Niagara Falls gave some concern as likely to cause delay. The Huerta delegates planned to avoid passing through the United States, but telegrephic inquiries are under way by wheih these plans may be modified 50 as to bring the del- egates by the Atlantic route to New York or Boston and thence to Niagara Falls.-. This would permit the confer- ence to proceed on May 18 with the Oy delegates present. = The- gen- ling among -those close to the ‘was-that there were no_ in- denoes in the way of the- fi& of mediation the QRTIN Of equaily serious portent way the report late in the day that two Ger- man merchant ships were about - rive at Puerto Mexico with large sup- plies of arms and ammunition £ Huerta.

Rebels to Press Campaign Word came today through constiu- tionalist headquarters here that Car- ranza had ordered that the campaigns against ico and Mazatlan should be pressed to quick conclusions and that reinforcements were on their way to both places. The progress of the constitutionalists to the vicinity of San Luis Postosi, cutting off railroad com- munications between the latter city and Tempico, was also reported in des- patches. Incidentally General Carran- =a telegraphed a denial here of the I ported quarre: between himself and General Villa over General Chao, gov- ernor of the state of Chihnahua.

Secretary Daniels teiegraphed Admiral Mayo for infor- metion concerning the reports that all ships had been ordered out of the river. American ships were withdtawn sev- eral days ago, but it is understood new that the constitutionalists as well as the federal forces will not permit any ships to land supplies or persons. Sec- iels also telegraphed Rear soon they ecould be active service if' conditions” required. This again is a precautionary mess- wre The indications are that if national were called upon they -weuld mot be sent out of the oountry, but would be used on the Texas border, re- Heving reguiars thers, who would thus be avaflable for relnforcing the troops now in Vera Crus.

They plan to have something in the ground all the time, and don’t neglect it. These same general facts are also recognized by the successful business man \n regard to his advertising. It needs to receive the proper attention as to character, it must be placed where it will ac- complish the most good, and it should receive thorough circulation to accomplish the best results. While there are seasons when the re- turns therefrom may be. larger than others it is something which should be at work all the time, and not be neglected.
