WASHINGTON, Aug 4.-To end
once and for all irresponsible stories
Of impending armed Intervention IN
Mexico, President Wilson today pre-
pared TO take the American public
into his confidence After a confer
ence with Secretary of State Bryan
it was made emphatic in adminis-'
tration circles that the President
considers Intervention not alone an
improbabilty, but hardly even the
remotest possibility The Mexican
situation is clearing up, according to
every account received at the White
House and The time has arrived In the
opinion OF the President when he can.
at least Indicate the FIRST of the sue
cessive steps which he will take in
aiding the restoration of permanent
peace.
The entire plan under considera-
tion provided for comprehensive
suggestion of mediation, further first
hand investigation of the causes
which have been behind the various
Mexican outbreaks. and possibly. as a
final resort removal of the prohihi-
ton against supplying arms 70 Con-
stitutionalists In the north. How far
the President was prepared to go
along this line was not indicated be-
cause. Il was explained that, between
now and the issuance of the state
ment, something might arise to cause
a modification of certain features OF
the plan.
Il was made very plain when tho
President conferred with the nowspa-
per correspondents today that he ex-
poets cooperation from the Senate
and House committees on foreign
relations on his plan Both Senator
Bacon and Representative Flood, IL
was explained. have been in touch
with the executive al all times when

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE.

The scene of the story is laid in
the Vanderlip Hotel, New York
City. The Princess Maria Theresa
Of Segura, a beautiful Spanish
woman, is suddenly awakened in
her suite by the sound of pistol
shots. She hears a man running
down the hall. He crashes against
her door. breaking the lock, and
enters. She sees he is a tall, good
looking young man, dressed in
evening clothes. He is carrying a
revolver in his right hand, and
blood is dripping from a wound in
his left. He begs the Princess to
hide him. She, moved by some in
describable impulse, decides that
she Will. She directs him to an
inner room, and a few minutes
later, when the hotel detective
knocks on the door, she tells him
she is all right and sends him
away. The young man, who is
Warren Jarvis, of Kentucky, comes
out of his hiding place, and the
Princess, for the first time, notices
his wound. She is moved to SYM
pathy and showers him with uues-
tions as to what has occurred. Jar
Wis tells her about a Kentucky
feud between his family and an
other named Markham. He says
he left Kentucky to avoid the feud-
lists. but encountered one Of them
In the hotel. which explains the
shots. The Princess declares she
will help him. and then asks the
stranger question. Are you afraid
of ghosts?" Jarvis laughs. but
grows solemn when the Princess
tells him she has dangerous work
for him to do. She makes him
swear allegiance, and creates him
her 'vassal." Then she tells him
to get her trunk, which is going
to be shipped to a steamship on
which she sails to Spain the fol-
lowing day. First Jarvis tells her
to telephone to his servant, Rusty
Snow, a negro. The servant is in
struCted to procure passage for
himself and Jarvis in the ship.
Jarvis then prepares to get into
the trunk, but first begins 10 CUES
ton the Princess about herself.
Now go on with the story.

n SERIOUS barrier to success or
y popularity in social life is
self consCiousness. Morbid
anxiety as to what others are think
ing, nervous fears AZ to ones appear
ance should be overcome. Freedom
from thought of self, which is usual
ly so perfectly charming in the nat
ural manner Of a child, may be pos
session through life, if We could Cease
to think how we are looking and what
is the opinion Of others about us.
The probability is that we are not
being regarded always by others as
very absorbing objects. Egotism and
self-love are at the root Of all self
consciousness. To he self-centered
is very narrow. There is little hope
of fine culture for person who is
self absorbed.
If one is more anxious to give
pleasure than to get il. if thoughts
are directed more toward others than
toward self. there is a possibility of
becoming agreeable and companion
able. Difference. morbid shyness,
awkward mannerisms are really the
result of the constant thought Of self
BY contributing to the pleasure Of
others, wherever we may be, we may
extract much sweetness for our
selves in the passing moments. It
may be by talking to some one who
seems shy and neglected and needs to
be relieved of the baleful effect Of
self consciousness, or it may be by
listening with attention to some one
who wants to talk
But here is another point No one
should insist on munOpolizing the
conversation. That is a very weari-
some form of intense egotism.
There is another form of self-con-
