The propensity that some
people have for asking foolish
questions came up for discussion
at a recent, social session, and
Congressman Henry G. Danforth
of New York was reminded of
an incident that happened down
in the country.
One day a city man happened
IN a small country community,
and while rambling around
found a depression in the earth
covering several acres. Some
perplexed, he questioned a native
close by, and was told that it
was the bed of a lost lake.
"You don't really mean itr ex-
claimed the city man, again run
ming his eye over the depression.
What ever became Of all the
water?"
IT was this way. explained
the native. There was Ger
man picnic here once, and when
night came they had almost a
barrel of them pretzels left over
which they didn't want to take
home, so they chucked 'em in
the lake."
Yes" responded the city man
as the other paused, "but what,
had that to do with it?"
"Everything," was the smiling
rejoinder of the native. "Salt
on 'em made the fish so thirsty
that they drank all the water
up"

THE7MExlcAN SITUATION

Washington, Dec. 2z.-The United
States cannot prevent summary ex-
ecutions of political enemies by the
various Mexican factional leaders.
This is the reply understood today to
have been made to several influential
Mexicans who have appealed to the
state department to protect friends
held prisoner at various Mexican cit
les. 1t can insist on protection for
Americans and other foreigners, but
can only use moral suasion where
the persons in danger are Mexicans.
It has tried to use its good offices
wit both Carranza and Gutierrez to
have them respect the rules of civil
lied warfare Gutierrez has insisted
that he has ordered all summary ex-
ecutions stopped. But unofficial re-
ports indicate that the orders, If they
have been issued, have not been re-
spected. At score Of points in Mex
leo prisons are jammed with arrested
men whose on ylcrimes are of po-
litical character.
Meanwhile the United States is in
sisting on the summary punishment
of ViIlista colonel and captain who
insutled Mrs. Robert Ollinger, a
prominent member of the American
colony in Mexico City, and when re-
pulsed tried to murder her and her
brother, Charles Seifert.

Mary, the daughter or his foreman.
One day Jack is inspecting the spill
way that carries off the overflow of
the mill race. where he meets Tom
Craven, a wealthy young business
man, who is spending his vacation by
whipping the trout stream that sup
plies the mill with power. A misstep
causes him to sprain his ankle, and it
is in this condition that Jack finds
him. Jack carries him to his home
and with a few simple remedies soon
relieves the pain A strong friendship
springs up between the young men.
and Tom buys half interest in the
mill,
When, however, Mary is introduced
to Tom, his city ways and refined
manners are so different from that of
her country lover that poor Jack is
neglected for his more brilliant friend.
This causes an estrangement between
the partners, and eventually leads to
recriminations and then blows. The
fracas Is seen by the mill Waterman.
Toms murdered body Is later found
with two horrible stab wounds in the
breast, and Jack is arrested. He is
tried and found guilty of the crime,
his sentence being twenty years at
hard labor. Mary is naturally heart
broken at these terrible events, and,
knowing Jack to be innocent, she
prays that something might happen
to prove it. One day while she is row.
ing on the lake near the mill, she sees
something under some bushes on the
nearby shore. On closer inspection
it proves to be the body of a drowned
mana tramp, evidently, from his
appearance. In trying to drag the
body nearer to the bank, she finds
Toms pocketbook. Then the whole
truth comes out. The tramp had
Waylaid Tom and murdered him for
his money. Jack Us released and he
returns to his sweetheart.

This role is, perhaps, more pronounced

The Days

The German war machine has
battered its way into the Belgian
town of DiXmude. The official
French statement contains the ad-
mission that the allies we're
Obliged TO fall back from this
point of vantage in the great bat
tie for possession OF the eastern
shore of the British channel. AS
an offset, the French war office
states that the allies forces have
advanced along the North Sea
coast, pushing back the Germans
and taking LombaertyEede, small
Belgian town a few miles north
east OF Nleuport.
Along the remainder OF the
battle line, says the French war
office, there is no change, except
for slight progress by the allies

OF the situation, however. is op-
tmistic. Comment Is made there
of the use OF the expression good

German reports concerning the
fighting in the west, being the
first occasion on which such terms
have been employed in this con-
nection.
Paris also is hopeful as TO the
outcome In Belgium. Military
critics there take the view that
the Germans arc faced with the
imperative necessity OF defeating
the allies. In order that they may

preached concerned the reduction OF sal
