REPORT OF THE MUTUAL IMPROVE
MEM SOCIETY.

U,s2 discussion on the Nerican Question.
The Vice Chairman, Mr.. s.. c. HaIland,
opened the discussion with a short summary
of the principal points involved in the dis
puie. The United States had refused to rec
0onjze the Mexican Government because
they did not consider that the lives and
properties Of American citizens were ale
0nately protected. Nowadays it was a serl-
Gus mniter for one great country to ignore
the Government Of another, because 30
treaties could be MADE. The Speaker con-
sjdered that Prer5deut Wilson, az "a scholar,
did not fully appreciate the gravity OF the
situation, but thought that the United States
would have declared war, had then army
been powerful enough.
The Chairman said it would be no easy
task for the United States to conquer the
Mexicans owing to the country Icing 50
mountain ous. President Wilson evidently
has seen the iuadvisability OF intervening.
He remind d the meeting of the protracted
period which England experienced 10 subdue
the Transvaal.
Mr.. Desmond Fabio agreed with the re-
marks of the two previous speakers, and he
thought it impossible for the United States
ia defeat the Mexicans. The permanent
army of the United States Is comprised OF
uot more than 200, 600 men. They depend
ON their Volunteers, who meet once a year
,e be drilled. He spoke Of the hardsblps
which The United States soldiers endured

in the recent Spanish American War. He
did not think the United States would go
to war unless she was first assalled.
Mr.. D. H. Jackson emphasized the fact
hat the chief cause for the reluctance of
the United States to attack Mexico is the
attitude which England aud Germany have
adopted.
Mr.. A, Creaeh viewed the subject SINH
larry to Mr.. D. H. Jackson, and he did not
think that the United States are afraid to de-
clare war against Mexico. He believed that
the Mexicans will he dealt with as they
were in 1848 by the United States.
Mr.. Alexander moved that a vote of
thanks be pre- ffered 20 Mr.. Desmond Fabio
for his able and eloquent speech.
The discussion was much appreciated by
the members.

Saturday, 18th December, 1913.

On Wednesday afternoon the Christiansted
detachment of our Militia Corps marched
up Kings Street on THEN way out to Peters
Rest for a drill under the drill instructor
Staff Sergeant Neumann. The Detachment
was beaded by the Native Brass Band, and
the men marched in good military style and
appeared to show that the exercise was
enjoyed.
The performance of the Industrial Brass
Band on the Wharf on Wednesday evening
was interrupted by a passing shower, but was
quickly resumed, and the large crowd which
marched with The Band up Kings Street at
the close of the performance showed that
the music was too much appreciated to allow
the shower to drive the audience home.

AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH

Mrs. II. G. Peelman, state secre-
tary of the Florida Baptist Woman s
Missionary Union. spoke at the Bap-
fist church Friday afternoon to an
Interested audience composed of the
women of the church.
Mrs. Peelman reviewed the meet
ings Of the W. NJ U. held during the
recent convention of the Southern
Baptist churches in st. Louis and told
of the plans of work laid out for the
coming year She commended the
work done by the Ocala union and
said the report of the young woman s
auxiliary, accompanied by the group
photograph of its members, received
IA great deal of attention at the con-
vention and was highly compliment
ed.
In speaking of foreign missionary
work Mrs. Peelman said the greatest
danger now which threatens the Chi
nese people is the immense importa-
ton into that country from these
United States of cigarettes and whis-
key. 1t is said that the cigarette
has even a worse effect upon the
people there than in our own coun-
try and after just two weeks smok-
ing a man is unfit for any kind of
work
The efforts of our missionaries are
being hampered by this immense i'm
portation of whisky and cigarettes
from our own country. Can we stand
idly by and allow the greed of few
men to bring this reproach upon our
fair land?
America, the land of the free and
home of the brave" America, shall
thy freedom be degraded? Shall thy
brave be put to shame? Mrs. Peel
mans talk was at once interesting
and instructive and awakened in the
heart of each of her hearers deeper
sympathy for the great work which
she represents.
The meeting was opened by a
prayer ana remarks ny MIS-. van
Hood followed by a song by the
unions. At the conclusion of the
meeting the ladies adjourned to the
Baraca tent on the lawn, where de-
Ilicious refreshments were served by
the Y w. AS, and the Philathea
class of the Sunday school and de-
|lightful social hour was enjoyed.
