WILSON WAITS ON LIND.
Both Sides UnyieIdins on the status
of Hu~rta.

WAsHiNGroS, Aug. .S-Publicatior
to-day of the supplementary notes ex-
changed by John Lind and Foreign
Minister Gamboa showed that the United
States and the Mexican Governments are
still at deadlock on fundamentals Of
the mediation programme. Concessions
have been made. however, both by the
Huerta and Wilson Administrations and
tonight considerable encouragement was
felt in Washington for the ultimate sue
cess of the peaceful efforts by the United
States.
At least one important result already
has been obtained from the new develop

tween Lind and Gamboa has assured the
reopening OF negotiations and to- morrow

this 'if in his discretion IT seemed ad.

Word was received tonight by the
President from the special envoy that
he had decided to retrace his steps This
was regarded as the most significant
development of the day. II was taken for
granted in Washington that Mr.. Lind
must have grounds for strong hope or he
would not subject the United States to
the possible humiliation of further dill,-
dallying and the likelihood of another
rebuff.

Women In Washington and London.
British cabinet ministers might pick

may not wholly satisfy DIR. Anna
Shaw and her followers, but neither
does II offend them. They know
they are permitted to present their
claims In person at the White House,
which IS as much as anyone may rea-
sonably demand. The contrast be-

Charities end Churches.

A Misrepresentation seems TO exist
with reference to the list Of endorsed
public charities put out by the Com
mereial club committee notwith-
standing the accompanying explana-
ton that it does not purport to en-
brace all worthy charities, but only
such as have made application for
endorsement, and have been favora-
bly, passed on. IL Is pointed out par
ticularly that the various philan-
thropic activities OF the different
churches, especially the numerous
Catholic benevolences, are not listed.
II should be understood that the en-
dorsement committee confines itself
to organized charitable institutions
that look to general public solicita-
tion for a main part OF their finan-
cial resources. II does not consider
at all charities supported by the
membership of church or a frater-
nal society. or of any distinctive as
sociation which does not send solicit
tors out generally, no more than It
does charitable undertakings for a
particular and one-time purpose. For
many years one of the best known
Catholic priests, since become a
bishop OF the church, served as a
member OF this committee. IL Is to
the credit OF the Catholics that they
pride themselves on taking care OF
their own benevolences, and 30
rarely call on outside assistance.
II the plan OF the endorsement
committee does even in part what It
aims to accomplish, namely, to weed
out impostors. prevent duplication
and conserve the charity funds of
the community, the charity work of
the churches will be helped, and no
worthy charity suffer by It.
