MEXICAN SITUATION CON
TINUES TO BECOME
MORE PEACEFUL.
Expecting Another New Develop.
ment That Will Help Clarity
the Situation

WASHINGTON. May 1.-As-
surance Of peace. with a steady
abatement Of "~ar talk" was tn
dominant feature in the Mexican
Developments here today. Atten-
tion was still eentered on the
work Of the South American me
distors, who reported steady
progress and the avoidance OF
any deadlock between the parties.
In other quarters, however. the
failure Of Carranza thus far TO
accept the mediators' proposal
for a suspension Of hostilities
against Huerta caused continued
doubt over the outlook for broad
ening the scope Of the mediators'
work 20 a settlement OF the whole
Mexican situation.
The report that Dr. Ryan, an
American in the service Of the
United States government, was
about 10 be shot as a spy by the
Mexican federals at Zacatecas
caused serious apprehension
throughout the day. but reassur.

from Huerta late in the day.

from hour TO hour. the ENJOYS Of

steadily al their work, holding
two lengthy sessions az the Ar

fersnces last night with Secretary
Bryan, representing the United
States In the issues before them,
was followed today by a confer

the huerta government. The me
distors made no announcement.
IL was known they were expect

today which might lead TO a state

NEARBY NOTES

The first question a man asks when
he sees a girl flirting is whether she
is a respectable girl or not. You see
how it raises a doubt at once. This
being the case, no modest girl car
afford the slightest degree OF this
pastime. When the down is brushed
from a peach the beauty is so marred
that it never can be restored, and so
when a young girl throws lightly aside
that sweet and modest reserve so be
coming TO a maiden, and which so
eleyates her and enables her to com
maud the respect of all she loses her
greatest charm and becomes rather
common and cheap, to use no rash
term, Flirting may seem to the giddy
and thoughtless girl 10 be wonderfully
amusing, and she may even get an
idea that she is quite fascinating, but
il is a most degrading thing, and
should be frowned upon by every
young lady who has an ambition to
become a worthy and charming wo-
man.-Armour Herald.

In our humble opinion permanent
peace will come TO the world only
through the development of the aero.
plane and other air craft. When they
get the airships so well in hand that
an enemy can hang around over the
castles of the monarchs and diplomats
and keep them jumping lively with
bombs they will not be so ready for
war. The bulk Of the people of any
nation are never anxious for war, as
they know the brunt Of 1t will fall
upon them.

Europe seems to be starting on a

the greatest conflict the world has
ever seen. and likewise it will be the
greatest disaster that has ever hap

stupendous. but perhaps out Of 1t all

Captain Thomason didn't ask me
what | was to be whipped for He Just

He gave me about ten lashes,
