says that generally speaking, the sit

changes of Importance. The text OF
the communication follows
Generally speaking, 1t may be said
that the situation, during the day OF
November %, has shown no important
changes.
"Along the greater part Of the front,
the enemy manifested his activity
particularly by an intermittent cannon
ade, which was, however, less sirlt-
ed than on the preceding day. Never
the less, there were here and there
some infantry attacks all Of which
were repulsed. These attacks were
particularly violent in the Argonne,
where we gained some territory, and
in the region Of Four de Paris.
aThere is nothing to report between
the Argonne and the Vosges. and fur
tthermore a heavy fog has interfered
with operations.

FINITE PURPOSE


Washington Nov. "a President
wilson said today he had received re-
assuring adyices OF conditions in Mex
leo and was confident nothing serious
would resuls to American interests in
the present controversy among the
Mexican generals.
The president thinks conditions In
Mexico will constantly improve In
quiries by the British, French and
Spanish ambassadors as to the safety
Of their subjects have not been pro
tests, in a sense, according to the
White House view, but merely indica-
tions Of the desire Of those European
governments for the exercise by the
United States OF its good offices in be
half Of foreigners. The president IN
dicated clearly today that The United
fstages assumes no task or obrgatioIf
in that connection, the European
governments recognizing merely that
the United States. as the nearest
friend to Mexico. was able to exert
more influence in behalf Of FOREIGN
ers.
Administration officials who have
heen keeping in ciose touch with
events in Mexico were highly gratfffed
today that the evacuation Of Vera
Cruz by American military forces IN
der Brgadier General Funston had
been accomplished without any dis
turbances. The fact that American
occupation Of the Mexican port had
been ended with no untoward incident
bears out the predictions OF officials
here. They we're pleased also over
assurances given by General Aguflar,
the new military governor Of Vera
Cruz for the safety Of foreign resi-
dents in that city. pF
In administration circles today the
belief was expressed that with the
arrival Of General Villas forces in
Mexico city all apprehension over the
safety Of foreign residents there would
end. Fears fer the safety Of British
and French subjects and their inter
ests in Mexico City had caused the
British and French representatives 70
call at the state department for IN
formation relative to conditions in the
Mexican capital. The two diplomats
had previously received messages
from the British and French minis
tiers at Mexico City giving a pessi-
mistic view of the situation there. Ad
vices to the department, however in
dicated that conditions had improved

Berlin, Nov "a (by wireless TO Say

given out today by the official press

ssWhile an eventual victory for the

Of the war is expected as confidently
as ever, official reports from The Ger,
man and Austrian military headquart-

his conduct during the trying days Of

so admirable he had been left in

Country Schools for City Children

doing the necessary tasks that
should be done, with enough play
mixed in to season the whole.
Children who attend these
country schools will surpass far
in physique and mentality and
general health any child whose
days and nights are spent in the
city. He gets a change he gets
away from his parents and the
home atmosphere, which, however
beautiful and excellent, can not
be appreciated when. he is there
all of the time.
He is relieved OF the danger OF
playing on the street and of be-
ing run over by street cars, auto
mobiles, wagons, and Of the fur
: Their danger of association on va
can't lots with the demoralizing
and the unfit. Going back and
forth on the train, trolley car,
automobile or carryall, he is safe
guarded by an attendant. And il
there are dozen, twenty, fifty
or a hundred pupils, the expense
of this supervision is very slight.
Country schools for city children
are so in the line of common
sense that the idea Is bound to
grow and spread.
As yet most Of these country
schools for city children are
owned by individuals or corpo-
rations. But it is the belief that
the public school system will
take on this betterment soon.
As it is now. most women take
up school teaching until they get
married. And the men who are
school-teachers are taking a
course in law. medicine or the
ology, with intent to quit the
school teaching as soon as the
profession is within Selling reach.
We must make school teaching
eminently honorable. And the
salaries, all the way from $3.50
to $500 month, that are being
paid to competent men and wom-
en- who can teach both academic
studies and agriculture, show that
we are moving in the right direc-
ton.
