A girl and young man were in a

were studying the chromosomes in
plants, the union of which constitute
the fertilization of the pistillate cell.
why" said the girl, sis the same
thing true in all living things?"
yes" said the young man, Gin all

The episode was as clear and

and teachers who were greatly inter-
ested in. life and its problems.
They roamed the fields with these
children and studied plants.
They were brought at once into
contact with sex in plants. They saw
the pistils and stamens. They OBJ
served the wonderful processes by
which fertilization is accomplished.
They talked OF the distribution of
pollen. They observed the insects
carrying the principle from plant to
plant, and they understood the mar
vel of the inpregnation of a kernel
of corn by the creeping up of the male
cell through the long silk to the germ
in the ear. They found that some
plants are self-fertilized and some
cross-fertilized. It was most inter
esting and inspiring thing for these
young minds.
They learned without knowledge
the same principle in birds and ami
mails.
They came to think of sex as
thing universal and dominant in life. |
It came to their minds in the cool
breeze which blows across the up
lands of scientific thought. There
was nothing impure about it; it was
all elevating and ennobling.
But there was no concealment of |
the facts of sex. There was the |
freest discussion. They learned what |
every boy and girl must learn; but |
in the right way, not by the nasty
story, the sinister hint. the sly in
uendo, the covert revelation which
poison the minds of so many boys
and girls.
Few parents are capable of giving
such instruction as this; but that it is
the right sort of instruction there can
be no doubt. With these children,

JUAREZ EXCITED BY NEWS.
Villa Not Expected to Unite With
Huerta Against Invasion.

JUAREZ, Mexico. April 15.-Develop-

victory at san Pedro. No official would
lend his name to comment on the situ-
alton, but one man III a confidential
constitutiona1ist position said:
I'm case of foreign invasion. Gen.
Villa and Cen Carranza long ago agreed
that they simply would content them
selves with opposing any armed force
which entered rebel territory"
II is known that Villa would find it
almost impossible to cooperate with
Huerta. who. it is related. at the battle
Of Bellano two years ago, compelled
Villa. then serving under him, to get
on his knees and apologize for some Of

prison in Mexico City, where Villa
learned to read and write. Villa finally
escaped and made his way north. where

ARMY'S FORCES ARE QUIET.
Fail to Join Navy's Offensive Action
in Mexico.

With 1000 troops at Texas city. where
four army transports arc at anchor and
thousands of cavalry and infantry spread
along the border where they can be moved
rapidly, not one move was made BY the
War Department toward participation in
any offensive action in Mexico
This studied quietude. in direct antith-
esis to the feverish activity in the Navy
Department, was explained by a desire
that the constitutionalists. who are in
control of northern Mexico. should not
misinterpret the action and be given
cause to prepare for armed resistance
against the possible invasion of their ter
ritory by United States troops
II was also explained that the United
states already has a big lighting force

Some of the constitutionaiist leaders
here see a hope for their cause in the
possible seizure of federal sunhoats now
at Tampico They are hoping that the
United States will take such action SO
that the rebel forces may resume their
attack on Tampico unhindered by the
gunboats.
1t is pointed out by government ad
visers here that the United States will
hesitate to take such action, as it might
be construed as furnishing aid to one of
the contendins factions and the dis
position of the American government is
to exact an apology without interference
in the progress of the revolution.

REASON FOR j. S. ACTION
IN OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Events That Led Up to Sending
American Warships to
Tamplco.

Official summary of the events that
led up to the orders for concentration
of American warships at TaInpico to
enforce the demand made by Rear Ad-
niral MAYO on the federal commander
the United States government that q
must be- given by the fedcrals to the
United States flag. In reprisa1 for the
arrest OF American bluejackets, is as
follows:
Stewards, orderlics. etc. were going
ashore when necessary. Only part of
the whaleboats crew of the Dolphin
was out of the boat to handle stores.
The men of the boats crew were blue
Jackets. not marines.
Assistant PaNmaster Charles G.
Copp and a boatload of bluejackets
landed at Tampico last Thursday to OBJ
tain supplies. Admiral Mayo reports
that he had no intimation of the exist
ence of martial law or of objection to
boats taking supplies.
They were arrested, but later dis
charged. In accordance with regula-
tions in all navies of the world. Rear
Admiral Mayo. on considering that an
unwarranted arrest had been made and
that the uniform of the American navy
had been disregarded, demanded repara-
ton in the form of "a salute of twenty
one guns.
THE American flag. while not taken
ashore. was flying at the stern of the
whaleboat, and all the bluejackets We're
in uniform.
Ample Time Allowed for Salute.
Rear Admiral Mayo allowed the Huerta
commander until 6 o'clock that evening to
fire salute. but later extended the time
in order to afford the local commander
an opportunity to communicate with his
superior officers in Mexico City.
"A statement of apology was ISSUED IN
Mexico City by Gen. Huerta, and the local
officer who arrested the bluejackets was
ordered punished. This did not satisfy
the United States government and the
salute was insisted upon.
Gen. Huerta himself at no time agreed
TO comply, but an undersecretary in the
Mexican foreign office did inquire OF
Charge O'Shaughnessy if a salute fired
to the gunboat Dolphin and responded to
by the American ship would be accepta-
BILE This was emphatically rejected by
the, United States and word was sent that
nothing short of a public salute to the
American flag would be satisfactory.

The Post, asking whether President

will be no nearer solution. It is difficult

Federals Retire Eastward.

The disordered state of affairs in the
Torreon region is illustrated by the fact
that Villas report of victory required
twenty-four hours to reach Gen Ven

luton, at chihuahua.
The federals are reported to have re-
tired eastward in the direction of Saltillo
and Monterey, having. it is thought, re-
paired the railroad in that direction
before the battle.
The federals destroyed the market
building, a hotel and the property of the

Villa Regrets Sacrifice of Life.

My only regret IS that 500 OF my

day. assault ] hope that the great
sacrifice of human blood viii he for the
welfare of our country
VI was argued that If 800 Of Gen.
Villas soldiers were incapacitated in
this one charge. the previous fighting
must have been very heavy, and the loss
of life greater even than the loss at
Torreon. Reports had it that the fed
erals lost $500 killed, wounded and
prisoners. Villa reported 700 prisoners.
and the casualty of battle to the fed
erals. therefore, is estimated at above
$500
The success OF Gen. Villa and his men
in driving back the forces which had re-
inforced the retreating Torreon garrison,
under command of the federal general
Neasco. was regarded here as the final
struggle for the complete possession of
Torreon and the hcwing of d way through

Villa Man of the Hour.

Gen. Villa was again the man Of the
hour, and the pulse of the people showed
plainly that they believed their military
leader to be invulnerable. Not a doubt
remains apparently in the infiamcd minds
of those who have rebelled against
Huerta that Gen. Villa will sweep away
all opposition to the very gates of the old
castle of Chapultepec.
Federal sympathiZers across the river
in FL Paso. however were silent in their
hope that Villa would be seriously checked
at Saltillo or some other stronghold be-
tween Torreon and Mexico City.

men was pitted against approximately
