REBELS, TIRED

HOPE FOR PEACE
Adherence of Continued War May
Aid In Settlement

Washington, ID. c., July 27.-Consti-
tutional agents located i'm this city are
confident that the greatest dangers OF
recurrence OF war between Mexican
factions are past and that the plans
of their party will be carried into ex.
ecution with resultant peace in Mexi-
co. They do not conceal their fears
that complications are likely TO arise
but pin their hopes for peaceful So
luton of issues as they appear on
three or four elements in the situa-
ton.
The first and most important Of
these in their opinion is the fact that
Mexico is sick of fighting. They call
attention to the fact, overlooked by
most Americans, that there has been
real war in Mexico, that upward of
100000 men have been in arms on adj
sides, that pitched battles have been
fought in which thousands of men
have been slain. The seriousness of the
war which has been little appreciat.
cd in America, and not at all i'm Eur
opc. has been such an outlet for the
fighting blood of Mexico as makes for
peace.

Is Well Trained Officer.

Archduke Carl Francis Joseph is
described as an officer through and
through. In his army work there has
been nothing of the archduke about
him. He has worked and studied and
learned and observed and done his
duty in every way without for one mo-
ment claiming or desiring any special
consideration on account of his high
rank. Indeed he would have been very
much surprised II anybody had sug
gested that he should be shown any
extraordinary favors or preference.
He began as a cavalry lieutenant
and was most popular among his COM
radcs who never felt that an imperial
highness and future monarch was i'm
their corps. He performed his duties
with the utmost eXactness and was
just as punctilious i'm his behaviour to
the senior officers as any young subal-
tern. No duty was too small. He car
ried out the routine work most care
fully and when he heard of his young
comrades grumbling would merely say
What do you eXpect-orders are or
ders?"
