NUMBER 28 Army and Navy Ready To Punish Mexico If Lind 1 Is Insulted Or Injured Washington, Aug. 8 President Wilson and his administration are prepared for any eventuality in Mexico. The United States wants peace but the army and navy is ready, if any overt act by Provisional President Hu-' erta or partisan acts requires it Reports to the president and other data show this to be true. President Wilson has conferred with Secretary of the Navy Daniels for an hour personally today and was assured the navy will be ready. Another 25 hours may bring the gravest developments. The president and Bryan have consulted on the reports from charge d'af fairs a Mexico but no decision was reached as to how to reply to Huerta's stand. Lind will be asked to obtain from O'Shaughnessy further reports as soon as he reaches Vera Cruz. The president is also considering the matter of giving publication to Lind's instructions from the president to show how disinter ested the United States is in the matter. . Washington, Aug. 8. It is announc ed that Special Ambassador John Lind will go tonight from Vera Cruz to Mexico City despite the press re ports that threats have been made against him at the capital by the sympathizers of luerta. ,.

The president and j nrvor, Hicnssed the situation hit no action will be taken until Lind reach- 3 Mexico. .: :' ':s . The administration insists that Hu'-' fered Lind will virtually amount to an act of war which will necessitate an armed reprisal. Lind is scheduled to arrive at Vera Cruz tonight. Washington, Aug. 8. At the direc tion Of the president, Secretary of State Bryan issued an official state ment today in reply to the statement ot Huerta that Lind would not be a welcome visitor in Mexico. The state ment follows: "The statement to the Mexican foreign office is based on a misrepresentation for which this gov ernment is not responsible. In sending Mr. Lind as an adviser for the Ameri- !ant embassy the president acted en--tirelv within his rights. This depart ment cannot assume that management j of Mexico is regarded as unfriendly; when the character of the mission is understood." 1 piiiffls EDI BIG CDOP 0.-W.
