POSERS FOR CIVILIZATION.

The powers of Europe and the Government here
in Washington confronting curiousIy parellel con-
ditions in Turkey and Mexico Europe has notified
Turkey that the powers will not permit the Porte to
press claims to Adrianople to make on
stricken Bulgaria. but the Porte is going right ahead
doing those very things in defiance OF armies navieS,
world opinion, and all civilization.
Huerta informs Washington that ne will have
of its interposition in behalf of peace. He
jects every one of the four demands Of this Govern
ment, and, going farther audacously undertakes 10
place the responsibility for Mexican turmoil on the
United States. He charges that if it had not refused
recognition of his bIood-smeared ttc 10 the presi-
dental chair, he would have been able to suppress
insurrection!
Huerta will not promise immediate cessation of
hostilities, as demanded; yet long ago he gave as
surances that he would Immediately bring the dis
orders TO end. The promise meant nothing, be-
cause there power TO execute it, there is less
now.
Huerta will not resign, as demanded.
He will give no guarantee for an early election
nor pledges that he will not himself be a candidate
in that election
What will the powers of Europe do with their
problem in Turkey? What will the United States do
with its problem in Mexico?

force except very last resort because such in
terventon might and likely would result in dragging
the powers themselves into general war such as TO-:
generations has been feared would result from Tur-
keys Vaccinations
The United States does not want to intervene in
Mexico because that would mean a useless loss of
life and treasure with doubtful benefits at the end.
Thus barbarism faunts civilization, and civiliza-
ton, unable to accomplish its humane ends through
reason, sanity and negotiation, confronts on both
sides of the world the question whether it must take
up the implements of barbarism and make war
The gravity of the situation in Mexico can hardly
be overstaed that Huerta has taken his last des-
perate stand. If the United States yields and with
draws, it will forfeit prestige and authority in Latin
America and before the world. The government in
Mexico City holds out promises to its own people of
early settlement but ruthlessly breaks them to the
car of waiting hope in Washington. The cooked-up
story Of Huerta ultimatum was given to the world
by member of the Huerta cabinet for the sake of
its ncendiary influence in Mexico, and then repudi-
ated before the world after it had had its effect
Similarly, the present utter rejection of Washing
tons overures is accompanied by assurances to the
Mexican public that negotiations continue and that
i! is hoped to reach amicable adjustment.

OUR "ALLEGED" COMMISSION.

GROWING business Is at all
~ times profitable to take up. Pho
~ Biography is one of these. The
demands for good Photographic
work today are steadily increasing. The
line of moving pictures alone requires
daily the services of many able photoS-
raphers, both men and women, compe-
tent TO do good work.
The enthusiastic amateur photog-
rapher can hardly make a mistake In
entering this field with a view of max

that successfully he should possess
(besides a love for the work. artistic
perception, a quick, accurate eye, ana
should be patient and painstakins. The
latter is of great Importance in working
out details and in retouching.
The bast way, usually, to learn the
art Of photography Is to apprentice
oneself to a successful photographer.
An earnest desire to learn the work IN

ward Some photographers pay learn
ers during their period of study, while
others do net.
It is always advisable to take up
some special branch of photography
after the regular routine Of the work
has been mastered. There are several
important branches to choose from
portrait photography. scenic photog-
rf,phy, interior photography. and others.
To specialize in only one of these fields
Of photography is often the wisest
course to pursue. for few can master
successfully all of them.
There is no special system Of pay for
photographers. The profession is rather
loosely organized. and there is much
diversity in income. hours of work, and
other conditions. Usually the pay
ranges from fifteen to twenty-five dol
lsrs per week. Good, competent work
ers can earn much more. The success

SUMMER SUGGESTIONS
HOT WEATHER DISHES.

. LTHOUGH there are many at
~ tractive and delicious dishes
- that are acceptable in warm
weather, most of them require
too many ingredients. SIMPLE summer
dishes are what We want to know
about. Here are two:
Eggs Glace-To a pint of consomme or
chicken broth add enough powdered
gelatin to make 1t jelly without getting
tough. Boil a number of eggs until the
whites are set and the yolks still soft.
Shell the eggs carefully so that YOU
don't pull them apart. Place a thin
slice of tongue or ham in the bottom
Of a ramekin or glass punch cup Put
one egg in each and pour over 1t the
still warm consomme. Place on ice. A
sprig of parsley stuck in the jelly and
a thin slice of lemon make the dish at
traCtiye.
Banana Surprise-Boil a cupfuI Of
sugar and a half cupful of water to-
gether until it is syrupy. Add the
grated rind and the juice of a small
lemon. Stand on ice When il is per
fectly cold add a half teaspoonful OF
vanilla Halve and quarter six bananas
Sprinkle them with finely chopped nuts
and pour the ice-cold syrup over them.

But ii is hard TO convince them at

Miss Parker has the unique distinc-
ton OF being the first woman who poled
a canoe up the rapid Tobique river.

There are no evidences of civilization

Can you imagine anything more de-
lightful than to paddle downstream
early on clear morning. with not a
sound but the swish of the paddles
and maybe, perhaps, the call of bird

"A salmon that weighs less than six
pounds is called a grilse. Most of my

over the proceeds of the cash regis

Lynch was alone in the store when

desperate. Lynch complied, and
threw $40 on the counter.
That stuff don't go with me- de-
clared the man. He ordered Lynch TO
place the gold pieces in his hand,
which Lynch did.
After the highwayman had placed
the money in his pocket he again
brought his gun into play and told
the clerk to march from behind the
counter and walk ahead of him out OF
the store
Marching his victim up Clayton
street. near Grove street, the thug
suddenly stopped and, touching the
gun to Lynch's side. warned him not
to make an outcry. Suddenly the

disappeared.

West Point Entrance
Examinations Modified
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Regula-
tions for admission to the military
academy at West Point have been
modified so that, without lowering
+he entrance requirements. prospective
cadets may be matriculated by substi-
tuting equivalents for some of the
units of study hitherto insisted upon.
The effect OF this change, made pub
lie today in orders from the war de-
partment. will be that a youth need
not in the future pursue a special
West Point preparatory course, which
would not be of special advantage in
after life or in another educational
institution, provided he failed of ap-
