Cooperation Among Insects.

The wonderful intelligence of ants
has often been described, but it Is
not generally known that the common
black ant keeps large colonies of
green fly, known scientifically as
'aphides." The ants protect the flies
from beetles and other enemies who
would devour them, and the files in
return furnish the ants with honey, of
which they are intensely fond. The
ants extract the sweet fluid from the
bodies OF the flies by stroking them
with their antennae.

viii Remain Neutral.

For the rest, I deem it my duty to
exercise the authority conferred upon
me by the law OF March IA, 1912, to
see to it that neither side to the
struggle now going on in Mexico re-
ceiye any assistance from this side of
the. border. I shall follow the best
practice Of nations in the matter of
neutrality by forbidding the exporta-
ton of arms or munitions of war of
any kind from the United States to
any part OF the republic of Mexico.
Il am happy to say that several of
the great governments of the world
have given this government their gen.
erous moral support in urging upon
the provisional authorities at the city
Of Mexico the acceptances of our
proffered good ices in the spirit ir
which they were made"
Mexico'a Side Of IT,
Washington, aug. 28-The follow
ing is a synol is of the reply OF
Senior Gamboa TO the proposals of
the American government conveyed
through Hon. jean Lind, as transmit
ted to congress by the president:
In his reply 20 the American pro-
posals Senior Camhoa, the Mexican
minister of foreign affairs, urges the
following points:
That President Wilson's imputation
that no progress is being made to-
ward the restoration of peace in Mex
leo is not true.
That the fact the Mexican govern
ment enjoys the recognition of nearly
all the great nations of the world is
proof that it is a true and honorable
administration
That the proposal of an aTmistice is
impossible, bet ause nations do not
propose armist ces with bandits. To
grant an armi> ice would be to rec
ognize the bell gerency OF the rebels
That the request that General Huer-
to should not BE a candidate for the
presidency is range and unwarrant-
ed"
That the election of General Huerta
was legal.
That the American proposals are
"humiliating and unsound"
That MeXico's ambassador should
be received in Mexico and that the
United States should send g new am
bassador to axico.

Urges Americans to Leave.

We should earnestly urge all Amer
leans TO leave Mexico at once, and
should assist them to get away in
every way possible. Not because we
would mean to slacken in the least
cur efforts to safeguard their lives
and their interests, but. because it is
imperative that they should not take
any unnecessary risks il it is physical
ly possible for them to leave the coun-
try. We should let everyone who
assumes to exercise authority in any
part of Mexico know in the most I'M
equivocal way that We shall yigilantly
watch the fortunes of those Ameri-
cans who cannot get away. and shall
hold those responsible for their suf-
ferings and losses to a definite reckon

itself 70 recognize and In any va.
proper TO assist the administration
chosen and set up il Mexico in the
way AID On the conditions suggested
Taking ali the existing conditions
into consideration the government OF
the United States can conceive of no
reasons sufficient 70 justify those who
are now attempting TO shape the pol
icy or exercising the authority OF Mex
ico in decling the Offices of friendship
thus offered. Can Mexico give the civ
ilized world a satisfactory reason for
rejecting our good Offices?
Lind Showed Great Tact.
Mr. Lind executed his delicate and
difhcult mission with singular tact
drmness, and made clear To the au-
thorities OF the city Of Mexico. not
only the purpose Of his visit, but also
the spirit in which it had been under
taken. But the proposals he sub
mitted were rejected, in a note, the
full text Of which I take the liberty
Of laying before you.
Z am led 10 believe that they we're
rejected partly because the authori-
ties at Mexico City had been grossly
misinfOrmed and misled upon two
points. They did not realize the spirit
OF the American people in this matter,
their earnest friendliness and yet
sober determination that some just So
luton be found for the Mexican diff
culties; and they did not believe that
the present administration spoke,
through Mr.. Lind. for the American
people.
Meanwhile, what is 1t our duty to
do Clearly, everything that we do
must be rooted in patience and done
with calm and disinterasted delibera-
ton. Impotence on our part would
be childish, and would be fraught with
every risk Of wrong and folly. We
can afford to exercise the self-re-
straint Of really great nation which
realizes its own strength ard scorns
10 misuse it. It was our duty to offer
our active assistance. It is now our
duty TO show what true neutrality will
do to enable the people of Mexico to
set their affairs in order again and
wait for further opportunity TO offer
our friendly counsels. The door Is not
closed against the resumption, either
upon the initiative of Mexico or upon
cur own, CT the effort TO bring order
out of the confusion by friendly CO.
operative action, should fortunate oc-
casicn offer.
