"WASHINGTON". April 15.--Congress
stands behind the Administration al
most to a man in the aggressive policy
to demand reparation "for : indignities
offered, by the Huerta government.
In the Senate and House today the
opinion was general that the Presi
dent would be backed even to actual
warfare against Mexico to uphold the
sovereign dignity of the United States.
Both Administration and Republican
leaders express the emphatic view that
the United States is not sending the
fleet to Tampico as a "bluff"; that it
is sending it there to signalize the fact
that at last the patiente of this Gov
ernment has been exhausted and rep
aration must be made or the already
war-scarred Southern Republic must!
Buffer grave consequences. . ,
Patriotic Fervor Aroused.
Although both houses of Congress
proceded in the regular course of leg
islative business throughout the day.
itw as everywhere apparent that the
departure of the fleet for Mexico had
aroused patriotic fervor and the Mex
ican situation was the absorbing topic
of Informal discussion. Senator Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, made a canvass of
the Senate relating to the dispatch of
the fleet and the unyielding determina
tion of the Administration to command
Mexico's respect of the American Na
tion. "I find," Senator Smith said, "that
nine-tenths of the members of the ben.
nia will stand behind the Administra
tion in Its demand for reparation. If
the Government is compelled by defi
ance of Huerta to land armed forces
at Mexican ports, 1 do not believe it
would be necessary to have authoriza
tion from Congress for such a move."
Members of the Senate committee on
foreign relations were apprised of the
Administration's plans by Senator
Shively, acting chairman, and Senator
Lodge, ranking Republican member of
the committee, who conferred with
President Wilson early In the day.
Vosslbilities of the situation were con
sidered, the conclusion being that the
United States must enforce Admiral
Mayo's demand tuat Mexico'B -federal
forces salute the flag, no matter, what
the consequences may be.
Declaration of War Improbable.
It was pointed out by members of the
committee that authority of Congress
to land armer forces in Meico would
constitute a practical declaration of
war, and that a formal declaration of
war probably would not be made In
any event, because this Nation recog
nizes no formal government -in Mexico.
There are those in Congreas who
hold to the velw that the latest view
of ' the United States toward Mexico
will mean actual intervention: that this
- Government will proceed, despite rep
aration tor past insults, to blockade the
porta on both coasts; that the Rio
Urande border forces will be augment
ed by powerful reinforcements and a
campaign begun to force an end to
Huerta and the establishment of a
Mexican government which would com
mand recognition by the United States.
"It is ridiculous for anyone to think,"
Senator Shively said after his -conference
with the President, "that the
1'nlted StateB in this move toward Mex
ico is 'bluffing." The time for temporiz
ing has ended
Three Discordant Notes Struck.
A few discordant notes were sounded
in Congress today. Representative
Mondell ,of Wyoming, charged that the
President sought to use the Atlantic
fleet to enforce the mandates of his
personal prejudice" against Huerta.
Representative Bartholdt, of Missouri,
asserted that refusal of Huerta to sa
lute the flag with 21 guns should nor
precipitate the sacrifice of American
life. Senator Works, of California, is
sued a. statement criticising the atti
tude of the Administration.

BLUEJACKETS NOT ARMED
Release Ordered by Second Mexican
Officer and Two of Demands Com
" plied With, but Formal Sa
T lute - Is Demanded.
WASHINGTON, April 15. More In
formation describing the arrest of the
American bluejackets at Tampico was
revealed in the day's conferences at
the White House.
It was learned authoritatively that a
party of bluejackets from the Dolphin
went ashore with Paymaster Copp to
get gasoline supplies. All but two
landed to get the supplies, and while
they were- gone a Mexican officer ar
rived on the scene. He declared the
party should not have landed where It
did and ordered the two men from the
whaleboat. which flew the American
flag. They were unarmed and accom
panied him voluntarily.
Two Denaida Compiled With.
The others were arrested while on
shore.' They all were paraded to the
prison, but were lnterceptd by another
Mexican officer, who marched them
back to the dock, communicated with
his superiors and released them. The
rdenng of the bluejackets from me
boat, which was flying the Stars and
Stripes, considered technically Ameri
can soil, was regarded by Rear-
Admiral Mayo as requiring an apology,
the punishment of the Mexican officer
nd a salute of 31 guns to tne colors.
The first two demands were complied
with, but the local federals asked lor
an extension , or time during wnicn
thev consulted the Huerta government.
In the meantime Rear-Admiral Mayo
notified Washington of his course and
received the approval or tne government.
Offer of Small Salute Rejected.
General Huerta himself never agreed
to any salute, but one of his under
secretaries did make Inquiry of the
American embassy -whether a small
salute to the Dolphin would be accept
able. This was rejected as tnsutn
clent under naval practice.
Tho time limit for the lirlng or tne
salute was extended Indefinitely oy
Rear-Admiral Mayo after communica
tion with Washington, during which
sharp representations were made to
Huerta. and the Atlantic and Pacific
fleets were then dispatcned to Mexi
can waters.
The President told those wno con
ferred with him there had been no no
tification to the fleet or any pronmi
tion against landing where tne Diue-
Jackets docked and. while placing
most emphasis on tne lampico inci
dent, he reviewed other offenses, such

VOICl! THE BLOUSE OF INDIVIDUALITY
The charm of the nen blouses lies in their absolute individuality.
Dlouses, since the days of the" dear departed "shirtwaist," have
played many parts. From being tolerated with abject apologies, they
have risen to a place of honor, if not of absolute supremacy, in the
consideration of teomank'md. This year they have forsaken frills and
inserts for lines of classic sumplicity and soft grace. There are elab
orations, of course, but only the harmoniously subservient k'md which
accentuate the long, down-ward lines of the blouse.
There are four special prices $123, $2.50, $3.45, $3.98,
but the blouses that go with them are of almost infinite variety.
For $1.23, there are twelve different models in novelty and tai
lored effects, fashioned from voile, crepe and lingerie.
For $2.60 there are fancy blouses of batiste, crepe and voile.
-For $3.45 there are plain and striped effects in soft cotton fabrics,
many of which are adorned with Oriental lace.
For $3.98 there are blouses of crepe de chine and chiffon taffeta
in white, maize, flesh, light blue, navy and -changeable colors.
