That the troublous situation in Mexico rap

United States toward restoring peace in the
Mexican republic remain unanswered.

and the ordering Of transports to take away

by this government. Both moves have been
resented by Mexico and aroused the further

Meanwhile American and European inter

What Mexico needs is Diaz or a de la
Barra to rule with both a diplomatic and an
iron hand, with the backing OF the United
States. Years will be required even then to
restore order out OF chaos
Daz ruled with an iron hand and swept
away antagonfsm before it could spread, and
Diaz would have been ruling today except for
traitors in his camp He was led to believe
that his standing army had strength OF So
900 men when 1t was a mere handful. Provi-

statesman and ne had the confidence OF the
people and OF the foreign population.

0eouraphic Guess.

Who knows the name of the capital of the commonwealth of Australia? :? Don't guess either Melbourne or Syd- ney. for that would send you to the bottom of the class. A magazine ex- plorer has discovered the place, which Is called by the extraordinary name of Yass-Canberra, and tells fireside trav- elers how to find it's site. To do this draw a line on the map connecting Melbourne with Sydney, divide it by two points into three equal parts, and the point nearest Sydney will stand for. the future capital of Australia. This site was roughly specified by the constitution of 1900, but it took a ten-year controversy to select the site definitely.

WHARF Israel "Murmured."

AS soon as our loads were arranged
and the riding camels selected we
mounted and rode of across the desert
or plain Of FL. Ka'a In II nOrtheasterly

The wind was blowing hard and the
sand stung considerably. In ancient
times El-Ka'a was called the Wilder

the children Of Israel murmured
against Moses and Aaron. lusting after
the feshpots and bread they had left
behind In Egypt. and this was where
God, hearing their cry. sent them man.

forty years. This desert presents an
