Worn Cruz Evacuated

THE withdrawal Of United States troops
L lrom Vera Cruz at this time is an ac-
ton that can he justified only by results.
President Wilson and his advisers think that
GOOD feeling between the United States and
the Carranza government Will he intensified.
and that peace in Mexico will be furthercd
in that way. They think that the Mexico
City government will be strengthened. and
its prestige made greater by notice that the
United States regards conditions as having
reached the point OF development which
justified faith in McXico's ability and desire
TO live under Constitutional government, and
to live under that form OF government in
peace. Only future events can prove or dis
prove this belief Criticism at this time is
based on fear desire that that point Of
view is wrong, and will he accepted only by
those who hold the opinions of tho critics
~ higher value than the opinion OF The man
whose views SO often in the past have proven
correct.

of the Navy Daniels today described a
tactical and strategic reorganization of
the feet. in accordance with Fletcher's
own plan.
The most important change to be
made will be the establishment of a
cruiser division. The special service
squadron. composed of the super
dreadnoughts New York and Texas and
some smaller vessels will be dlsbanded
The New York and Texas will be as
signed to the main fleet, and the rest of
the vessels will make up the cruising
squadron. Rear Admiral Caperton will
be placed in command of this squadron.

Trust Legislation Is
Now Near Completion

With the Clayton bill passed by the
Senate, the work of Congress on trust
legislation for this session is nearing
an end. The Clayton bill will now be
sent TO conference. The trade cOmniis-
sion bill is already in conference. AS
for the bill for the control of railroad
securities. it will be sidctracked for the
session.
No time will be lost, according to the
leaders. in disposing of the two bills in
conference. Senator Newlands believes
the conferees will complete their work
or both bills in q week or ten days.
The important feature of the Clayton
bill is that labor. agricultural. and hor
ticultural organizations not conducted
for profit are exempted from the ESo-
visions of law relating to monopoly.
Tie bill is changed in important re-
81 ects from the House bill. One i'm
pOrtant provision is to the effect it shall
be unlawful for any corporation en-
gage6 in interstate commerce to do
business in any State contrary to It's
laws. or contrary to the laws Of the
State in which the corporation was ere
ated. The District of Columbia is con-
sidered a State in the meaning Of this
provision. which was added on motion
of Senator Chiffon.

and blackbirds and ortolan.
All the lighthouses in the vicinity OF
the marshes report good bags of birds.
The ''reedies" are fairly thick and when
the plumage is bent back. the rolls of
fat on the little breasts resemble so
much fresh country butter.
Most of the hunters do their shooting
from skiffs. with the assistance of
poler. but there are a number Of the
more energetic descendants of Nimrod
who prefer to wade their way. This
probably gives more shooting in a day.
but IN the reeds it Is very difficult
sometimes to find a bird which has been
pulled down. 1t Is painful to the true
sportsman to knock a bird down and
then be unable to find It.
Casual hunters should give more at
tention to marking down the spot upon
which birds fall. In thick country. do
not try for doubles. The sameness Of
the marshes renders II almost impossible
to remember two exact locations, so
when a bird drops to your gun. glue an
eve to the spot and go straight to 1t
without wavering You will find that
II will add to the size OF your bag at
the end OF a day.
The following places bear the reputa-
ton of being good fishing grounds: %

water is deep and swift. and the pool
bears its name because the fish are
