for easter

Because he lived this world be-

ual birth this day is the anniver-
sary.---Edward Everett Hale.
A legend of the Greek church
tells us that our Lord used to feed
the robins round his mothers door
when he was boy; moreover. that
the robin never left the sepulcher
till the resurrection and at the as
cension joined in the angels song.
Across the sea the light brought
JOY to many ship, and, glancing
on the shore, ten thousand spires
flashed the glad Illumination and
trembled to the rolling organ be-
meath that sounds forth the Chris
tan's exutation. 1t is the Lords
day and the annual day of resur-
rection.---Henry Ward Beecher.
There are great merits about
Easter as an annual feast day. 1t
says to us: Put on your best
clothes, think your best thoughts
and be as good and happy as you
can. The Lord Of Christendom
is risen. The spring is coming
back. Life begins again in the
fields and parks and gardens. Let
us be grateful to our Maker for life;
let us rejoice in the present all we
honestly can and take as hopeful
a view of the future as common
sense permits. edward S. Marin

MED|ATORST TRY To
REACH SOLID BASIS
BEFORE WEEK-EN
Ambassadors RedoubIe Efforts
to Bring About Peace in
MexiCO-HOpe for Internal
Truce is Losing Ground.
BY w. y. TAFT.
(Staff Correspondentl

WASHINGTON. May 1.-The "A.
b. G." mediators now striving to eff
feet peace in Mexico. redoubled their
efforts to bring about speedy settle
ment today They have been request
ed to reach a solid basis of negotia-
tiOns before the end of next week and
though the Latin-American peace
makers made the reply of nothing to
say at present" when asked for infor-
nation on the situation, il is known
that they have been communicating
frequently with Mexico City.
That the administration regards the
truce during the mediation proceed
ings merely as lun in the fighting
which may be interrupted at any time
by a return TO hostilities, was indi-
Gated by orders which were sent today
10 Rear Admiral Badger at Vera Cruz
TO do everything possible to expedite
the rescue of 1900 Americans who
are still in Mexico City.
General Carranza and the constitu-
tionalists have been eliminated tenn
pOrarily from the peace plans of the
mediators because the rebel chief has
not indicated TO them officially wheth-
er he will consent TO a truce with
Huerta.
Give Up Hope OF Truce.
The mediators have practically
given up hope that they will be able
{ TO induce Carranza 10 suspend hos
tilities against the federal forces. Dec
larations by his chiefs are said TO
have convinced the diplomats that
the constitutiOnalists will not consent
TO lay down their arms because of
their advantage in position at pres
ent. e had been the plan of the
demiators to endeavor 10 settle the
whole Mexican problem. including the
internal strife and the trouble be-
tween the United States and Huerta,
but the stand of Gen. Carranza and
his followers may narrow the nego-
tiations down TO the controversy be-
tween the Mexico City and the Wash
1ngtOn governments for the present.
One OF the most satisfactory de-
velOpments OF the negotiations IS the
encouraging attitude OF the European
powers. This has served 10 increase
the optimism OF the administration as
as we'll as the mediators that the
troubles will be adjusted without re-
course 10 further hOstilities
Sees Speedy Conclusion.
Secretary of State Bryan stated to-
day that he anticipated a speedy con-
clusion Of the negotiations. although
there Will be no disposition 10 hurry
them. The length OF time that would
be consumed viii depend largely on
whether the cOnstitutiOnalists become
party 10 the negotiations Should
Carranza finally refuse TO accept an
armistice. the work Of the diplomats
necessarily viii be limited 10 the HUI
erta factions and an earlier decision
is anticipated than II the whole Mex
lean problem we're SSne into.
