spond-House to Pass Naval Bill
This Week.
Washington, April 27.-'The bellicose
spirit manifest among a considerable
group in congress, headed by some OF
the more prominent Democrats, has
been toned down for the time being by
the negotiations for the solution by
the three South American govern
ments. Leaders of this element had
not hesitated to say among them
selves that at least 100 members had
expressed themselves in favor of more
aggressive action toward Mexico by
the administration.
Even some of the members Of the
foreign affairs commitise priSateiy
subscribed to the idea that the govern
ment could not long withhold either an
onward march to Mexico City for the
protection of the American citizens
reported to be imperi1ed or to make
straight ont declaration of war More
over, amcng some of the house mem
bers, there was a disposition to crltl-
else the president for not consulting
with the real leaders OF congress to
ascertain the sentiment at the capitol
Although the feeling in the senate
, toward a more aggressive policy has
not become so apparent as in the
! nruse many leaders would be sur
prised to see the coming week end
without an oratorical outbreak if the
mediation efforts of Argentine Brazil
and Chile fail or there are authentic
reports of outrages on Americans IN
Mexico.
Discussion of the situation will be
gin again in the house today, when
REPRESENTATIVE Kahn proposes to talk
on the mediation plan, and it is proba-
bile that this new phase also will re-
ceive the attention of senators.
Every committee of congress which
would he active in case of change IN
the Mexican policy is prepared to re.
srond at cnce to any call of the ad-
ministration.
i Holds Up Deficiency Bill.
! In the house, the appropriations
committee is holding up q deficiency
bill carrying s3.sao.oO0. fearing that it
must later report bill carrying a
much greater amount with a Mexican
service appropriation in it. the ways
ard means committee is ready to take
I'm a war revenue bill if necessary
and the military and naval committees
are primed for action.
i The house has set the naval bal for
the weeks work and it may be passed
on Saturday. 1t carries a total OF
s142. 100000 and provides for the con
struction of two battleships. Before
finally agreed anon by the both houses
the measure may be so worded as te

together
There was no moon and few stars
were visible, but it was one of those
luminous nights in summer which
never forget the day. Therefore we
walked without difficulty along the
white winding path with it's nutty
odor of the heather and gorse until
We came near the edge of the cliff
and then suddenly the town burst
upon our view, with its promenades,
theaters, and dancing palaces ablaze
with electric light, which was re-
Elected with almost equal brilliance
in the smooth water Of the bay.
We were five miles from Black
water, but listening hard We thought
we could hear, through the boom of
the sea on the dark cliffs below us.
the thin sounds Of the bands that
were playing in the open air pa
vilions, and looking steadfastly we
thought we could see, in the black
patches under the white light, the
movement of the thousands Of per-
sons who were promenading along

TON weighed down by the
burden of his seven years and
the dignity Of his position as president
Of the Childrens Congress, wiped his
brow, and gazed down at his audience
in brooding silence.
He had called the members in ses-
sion extraordinary to discuss their
newest rival for public attention-the
Eugenic Baby. He felt that the flu
ture was dark and deary for the little
tots in front of him, none of whom
were the offspring of eugenic mar
riages, recalling with bang that his
own mother was near sighted and his
father had been a colicky baby.

himself, moodily for the son of such
a union to develop perfect physical
manhood"
Harrison Hartigan Hardtop, aged 4.
rose to his feet. His father was TWEEN
ty years older than his mother, and,
therefore, not her eugenic mate.

fiercely to the little tots behind him
that they felt accused of hiding some
thing in their pockets and began, with
whimpers. to turn them inside out to
prove their innocence.
Master Hardtop sat down. He had

ever does as much?
THE incubator chickens" said Su-
sanbelle Lee, struggling to her rect,
ARE the smartest chickens there is.
Alas. she was an incubator chicken
herself, having a stepmother instead
of the real thing.
1t was decided. after many weigh:y
discussions, that no one present would
trade parents for other parents who
could better stand the eugenic tests;
that the men and women who demand
eugenic projections in their mates
have worse looking children than their
neighbors that the ordinary catch
as catch can children are the best.
1t was further decided that a COZ

parents keep the baby it may grow to
be President OF the United States but

how they could get round the law.
The lawyer thought hard. Then he
