MEXICO CITY, Nov. 19. General fcluerta will take the field against the Mexican Constitutionalists who are weeping all of northern Mexico, capluring many towns and opening the way for an advance on the capital. He Intends to lead into me battle the greatest Mexican army ever gathered. This explanation was given today by a friend of the dictator of his action In calling upon the governors of the various states of Mexico to put into the field at once all their available men, as he desired to raise an army of 150,000 soldiers. Huerta has little hope of stopping the Constitutionalists in the north, but with this great army he expects
to deal a crushing blow to General Carranza when the revolutionary leader brings his fonjes within striking distance. Huerta Optimistic. This army is not being gathered with the idea that there is to be any war with the United States. In fact, General Huerta considers the diplomatic crisis involving the Mexican and American government over, for the present, at least. Gen. Huerta proceeded today with his plans for the formal opening of congress tomorrow. All the members . of his cabinet were summoned into n extraordinary session to discuss the message which the dictator will send to congress. In writing the message Gen. Huerta was in consultation several times with Senor Moheno, minister of foreign affairs and i9 therefore believed that the message will deal in large measure ith the relations between the United States and Mexico. It probably will be of the same defiant nature as that of the past communications from this government to Washington. Mexicans Fear Carranza. . More alarm is felt here by the Mexican peopie over the rebel successes fin the North than over the demands of the United States. Within a week Gen. Carranza's troops have captured three large cities and many small
towns. Supporters of Huerta are confident that the belligerency of the Carranza army will never be recognized by the United States because cf the execution of Federal officers at Juarez without trial and the bloody slaughter that followed the capture of Victoria, the capital of Tamapaulis. Advices received here from Victoria say that scores of helpless prisoners were shot down in cold blood by the revolutionists.

"NO DEVELOPMENTS IN MEXICO"
Secretary Bryan Says Huerta Has Not Answered Note. WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. "There have been no developments in the Mexican situation within the last forty-eight hours. We have received no reply from President Huerta to our last note. I do not care to discuss the Carranza-Hale incident." Secretary Bryan in this manner summed up the official news in the
Mexican situation today. It was learned however, that the administration is preparing to give William Bayard Hale unofficial credentials to enable him to continue his discussion with General Carranza. This government wishes to get in close touch with the leaders of the Constitutionalists, but does not wish to do anything which can oe taken as formal recognition of their cause. Therefore Mr. Hale probably will receive a secret letter to the rebel leader informing him that the United States desires to help him and his cause but will do so only if the matter be kept entirely secret until such time as Washington is ready to come out actively in favor of Carranza.

This has been an agency which has proved wonderfully beneficial to the city of Dayton in a financial way for it does away with the method of appropriating "lump sums," as practiced in Richmond, and shows in detail what each dollar is to be used for, consequently council can intelligently determine just how much money is actually needed to operate the city government for a year.

WIFE IS PROSTRATED. CHICAGO, Nov. 19 Mrs. W. Putnam Cramer, wife of the man slain in Kansas City by Dr. W. T. Elam, was prostrated today. She was expecting her husband home this afternoon. While her condition was not said to be critical, a physician and nurse were in constant attendance upon her. Mrs. Cramer has been an. invalid for sev
eral days.
This term expires in 1917. This makes a curious legal tangle and was caused by the new law which provides for the direct election of United States senators. The seating of Senator Lee is a matter of great interest to Democrats because of the narrow margin of majority in the Senate.

seek the position. It was reported tO day that a movement is on foot In thj
western hair or the middle eomrats-: sioners' district, principally in Center' township, to bring out another candidate. The opposition against Beeson la, particularly syong in that section of;t the county, notwithstanding the fact' that Beeson resides there. Opponents of Beeson say he has . been on the county's payroll long enough and that his administration of county roads in his district the past six years has not been such as to warrant his appointment as highway superintendent. Cause of Opposition. One prominent farmer who resides near Uenterville in speaking of the opposition against Beeson said It was based principally on the fact that he was not regarded as a man who could perform the duties of the office in the most efficient manner. "We farmers realize that the new office is a very important one. for th superintendent will have almost arbi
trary powers, and that the creation of this oft ice is the first step in establishing a modem highway system all over the state," he said. "So we are of the opinion that some young man with
plenty of enthusiasm for bis work and with a little practical experience In
road building should receire the appointment." It is reported that a petition may be circulated in Center township for presentation to the new county board, asking that the office of highway superintendency be filled bj the most capable man the board can obtain and that it not be made a taaTen for politicians whose terms in elective ofTices have been completed. Pushes His Candidacy. Beeson has been actively pushing his candidacy for -highway superintendent and apparently believes h will receive the appointment, for one of his relatives has informed friends that when Beeson receives the appointment be will be named as one of the three assistant superintendents. Beeson's former hostility against converting township roads Into free county highways has also been withdrawn since he laid his lines to capture th highway superlntendency. It Is charged, for when there are more than 409 miles of county highways the super
intendent's salary will be 15 per day. There are now nearly 300 miles of such roads in Wayne county and th new office will be created with a salary of $4 a day. The Commons road in Center township, which Bee so a once opposed being converted Into si county road, was enthusiastically welcomed into the latter classification la ter on. after Beeson decided to enter the race for the superlntendency, It la said. It was learned today that friends of Fred U. Brown, a Clay township farmer, are mentioning him as a miM well qualified to serve as highway uvt pertnfendent. In this connection County SurVeyor Ierl Peacock and DelbeiU Davis, who has been atached to tb city engineer's office, are also be in a mentioned.
