PRESIDENT LETS THIS BE KNOWN
FOLLOWING A CONFERENCE
WITH BRYAN AND BACON.
LIND is ORDERED To
RETURN TO MEXICO CITY
Af In His Discretion It Seems Advis-
abIe-Wilson Message Believed to
be Having Good Etfect-Gamboa
Makes Public Second Note Sent Him.

Lind was early today instructed to
return from Vera Cruz to Mexico, If
in his discretion it seemd advisable,
after President Wilson had received
a message from him described as
very optimistic" While administra-
tion officials are silent as to the next
move the general understanding was
that the way appeared to be open for
further discussion of the disputed
points, such as Huertas elimination.
After a conference with Secretary
Bryan and Chairman Bacon, of the
Senate Foreign Relations committee,
the President let it be known he be-
lieved the situation in Mexico is en-
couraging and expects that something
tangible will soon be known.
There was no evidence here early
today that the Huerta government
agreed to the American plan, but it
is believed the Presidents message is
having good effect in Mexico.
Huerta has withdrawn his request
for an exchange of ambassadors and
asked that the present diplomatic
statuts continue until after the cleo
tiops in October American consular
officers throughout Mexico are round
ing up Americans and advising them
to leave. Major General Wood has
taken personal charge of military
measure to execute strict Sautrality.

Cruz Tuesday night. They speak for
themselves. They are the only com
ment we have to make"
Without comment the Minister of
Foreign Affairs presented to the stand
ing committee of the Mexican Con-
gress last night all the facts in the
controversy.
The Congressman comprising the
committee received the facts without
comment, other than that INDUCED in
as individuals after adjournment. Un.
less there are new developments it is
improbable that discussion, even of a
private character, will continue long.
Senor Gamboa insists that the nego-
tiations are not concluded entirely. but
should they be. it is probable that soon
the entire affair will be regarded as a
closed incident. The Congressman in
discussing the notes, freely commend
ed the action of the Mexican govern
ment, and that small portion of the
public which is cognizant of the char
acter of that action was loud in its
praise of what is characterized as the
patriotic and dignified attitude of the
administration.

All the government cared to say re-

last night in the Official Diario, a paper
issued by the government for dissent

"Since the strained relations exist

posed with the greatest possible spirit

taken under the present circum-

number of the Mexican people were
aware of the character of President
Wilson's message. None of the after

Thirty thousand voices-What grand

friend told me about Doan's Kidney
Pills and | used them. They stopped
the pains and my kidneys became

Lancaster people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If you

The Mocking Bird.

With its scores of divas and prima
donnas whose singing has charmed
millions both at home and in the for
eign world, still Americas most re-
nowned singer is the common hooking
bird. And one need not dress in the
finery of precious cloths and jewels and
spend small fortune to be in the au-
dience when this great singer is giving
a concert; but in the quietness of the
most humble home one may sit for
hours in the evening and hear its in
comparable melodies.
And this bird seems never to grow
tired. After listening to it's song in
the evening and leaving it that it may
rest as its audience, one may awaken
any hour of the night and the whole
air will still be flooded with it's mnsic.
In the daytime, too, it may be heard
mimicking the notes of all the birds
of it's neighborhood. Sometimes ii
even learns to initiate the sounds OF
the barnyard and the household.
All over the United States this great
singer is found. 1t prefers to live neal
the habitation of men, and for theil
protection it pays with its songs. 1t is
fortunately so, for ornithologists tel
us that it does not earn protection, as
many other birds do, by destroying
insects and grubs. The greater part
of its food is of fruit, and most of the
cultivated varieties are attacked. The
good it does outside, of its singing does
not repay for its damage.
No gorgeous gowns for this great
singer. 1t wears only grays, an ashen.
gray on the upper parts of it's body
with its wings and tail nearly black
and its breast covered with grayist
white. 1t is about ten inches long, the
tail making up half of its length. Ever

Of all the tributes to the mockine
bird, none is so widely known as thai
of the poet Longfellow. He is telling
of Evangeline's wandering down the
Mississippi in search of her lover. All
the world is wrapped in the magic
beauty of evening.

Plaintive at first were the tones and sad

attention to the betterment of the
people around them, that those who
are undeveloped and unframed may
be developed and trained to do their
work in the world.
Looked at from the purely material
point Of view, there are enough people
in the South to do twice as much
work in the aggregate as is now done
there. There are enough people to
meet every demand of the farm and
the factory; but very considerable
proportion of them are living in idle
ness for a part, and many for all of
their time; some of them are wasting
life In drinking and gambling; some
are simply drifting as the current
goes, and others are viciously bad.
There are very many in all of these
classes that might be reached by the
right kind of work, and who could
probably be saved to themselves and
to their country by an expenditure of
even less energy than that which is
put forth to bring other people into the
South.

material in the people who are already
here, with a full recognition of the
fact that 1t is easier to develop these
people to the good of the South than
1t is to bring In and develop an alien
element whose thoughts and desires
and manner of living to very large
extent would not be in harmony with
the thought and the life Of the South.
