WITHDRAWAL or THB FRENCH PROM
Mexico The New York Tribune pro-
fesses to learn from Washington, on
high authority, that the immediate with
drawal Of the French troops from Mex
leo may be regarded as certain. Let
ters received are said to fully copfrm
the reports previously given to that
effect. They also conGrm the news CIV
en- in late numOer of the Paris Press,
that an extraordinary commissioner has
already been sent TO Mexico TO make the
necessary preparations for the evacua-
tiou. The Emperor Of France no longer
insists on a recognition Of MaXimilian
by the United States, but Is satisfied
with the renewed promises that the Gov
ernmeut Of the United States will pre-
serve the 5tricte5t neutrality with re-
gard to Mexico.

tiles, aud the balance sl9s SO Is to the
credit of the Society. The number of
emigrants for the past year is 627, of
which l72 were of the class called
freedmen from Lynchburg, Va, and Its
vicinity. The prospects for the future
are that the Society will have more than
ever to do, as intelligent freedmen are
continually asking questions relative to
passage to Liberia.
The condition OF Liberia is highly en-
couraglng. Christian missions and
schools, the college, the cultivation OF
sugar, coffee, cotton and other products
are prosperous. President Warner says
" l am gratfied to give it as my earnest
conviction that Liberia is growing in
national wealth; her exports are every
year increasing, and If this exercise of
our productive power is continued with
the same progressiveuess as within the
last five years, we shall soon be iude-
pendent"
Hon. Abraham Hanson, Consul Gener.
al Of the United States TO the Republic
of Liberia, delivered a highly interest
ing address.
This Society was formed in 1915 at
Washington, and the Hon. Chas Marsh
Of Woodstock, was present from Yer

in 1920, and the whole number to the
