Flowers r planted In many recep

iron cylinder has been converted into
a flower box or a flower tank. The
cylinder was n of those which may
be seen by the side Of a furnace, and
its normal function Is to hold water,
hot Or cold. That is probably what
this cylinder was used for before its
dedication to Flora. The name Of the
foundry or the maker may be seen on
the west end Of the cylinder.
The tank was cut away on one side

HANDS OFF IN MEXICO

Both Sir Edward Grey the British
secretary Of state for foreign
affairs and Francis Dyke Acland,
the parliamentary under-secretary,
made it clear in the house of COM
mons that no attempt will be made
by the British government to force
the hand of the United States in
Mexieo because of the Benton affair.
AS Mr.. Acland expressed it. an
attempt at Intervention on The part
Of Great Britain would be both
futile and impolitic." He might
have added that it would be ridicu-
lous as well, unless Great Britain
were prepared to send an army
into Mexico over 1900 miles of
wilderness in the hope of catching
the elusive Villa, who alone can be
held responsible for Benton's death.
Unfortunate as the present situa-
tion is, it all hinges upon a question
Of fart. II Villa has told the truth
his action may have been ruthless
and hasty, but it is practically
unassailable in military law except
on the ground of expediency.
II he has not told the truth the ex-
ecution Of Benton was no better
than murder. and it becomes the
duty of the United States to see
that it is dealt with as such. But
the first thing to do is to ascertain
the facts. Until that can be done,
Washington must mark time.
In the meantime it would be well
for Englishmen and Americans
alike to give q little sober consid-
Grafton to the cause which have pro-
duced the deiiorab 9 conditions in
Mexico and to learn their lesson.
We permitted dn American oil COM
pany to support revolution against
Diaz, and no sooner was Madero
in Office by reason Of the abdication
Of Diaz than q British concern be-
gan to finance q counter-revolution.
It was British money that enabled
Huerta to overthrow Madero. 1t
was British money that practically
extermibated the Madero family
and hoated Huerta into power over
q sea Of blood. If Mexicans have
murderously shed British blood
let London contemplate the amount
Of Mexican blood that las been
shed through the interference OF
British capital IN the domestic
affairs of Mexico.
Civilization is paying the penalty
fef Ipholding a system of govern
ment for this profit Of concession
aires. and opposition to this system
10 the basis Of President Wilson's
refusal to recognize Huerta.
In the circumstances Great Brit
ian can we'll afford to sustain what
ever temporary injury may result
to British subjects and interests.
II Mexico is ever to be a white
mans country in the ems that
