At that my father, whose buslv

1t was something of a jar to go
back into the streets, so full of noise

Then came the shock.
AS we drew up at our door a post
man was delivering letters. One OF
them was for the Reverend Mother
and | saw in a moment that it was
in my fathers handwriting. She read
1t in silence, and in silence she hand

back my daughter. / believe her
education will now be finished,

Mildred Takes Vows.

desire to become a nun reached its
highest point and then received its
inal overthrow.
Mildred Baukes, who had returned
to Rome and was living as a novice
with the Little Sisters of the Poor

Reverend Mother took me 10 see the

religious books-the life of Saint TIE

Secretary Daniels callers were w.

j. B. Wood. II. w. Dixon. II. G. Ker-
rem, l.. NJ Fouts. W. NJ. Hanson and
DR.. w. NJ. Turner.
They arrived in Washington yester-
day and Immediately called at the
state department to see Secretary
Bryan. He declined to receive them
but finally arranged for an appoint
ment this morning. From the state
department they went to the navy de-
partment, where Secretary Daniels saw
them Immediately.
Put in Bad Predicament.
Mr.. Lucas told the secretary the Am
erican busines men at TampicO had
been ordered out Of the city with no
time to dispose of their goods or wares;
that they were given no protection at
all: that Rear Admiral Mayo, after hav-
ing full control of affairs, with two Of
his warships close to the city, their
guns turned on it. steamed away: that
they were left to the mercies of the
Mexican mob, which was infuriated
when the news OF Vera Cruzs seizure
reuched Tampico: and that only thru
the efforts of the British and German
naval officers were they saved.
What should have been done at
Tampico," Mr.. Lucas said. was for the
American ships to remain in the inner
harbor to prevent it from being mined
and American troops to land to protect
us. Americans and all other foreigners
in Tampico and all Mexico will not be
safe until this or some other country
goes there to police the country"
Daniels Lectures Refugees.
Secretary Daniels then read them Il
lecture.
You men went to Mexico because
you weren't satisfied with business con-
ditions at home; you went there to get
rich quick: and now you want the
whole country to raise an army of 500.-
900 men and send it to Mexico at this
country's expense to protect you and
you won't pay cent to support 1t
there.
You accuse Rear Admiral Mayo Of
cowardice because he, left Tampico.
Rear Admiral Mayo left there on my or
ders. II he hadn't. you and many other
men would now be dead When he left
1t was after an understanding had been
reached with the British and German
naval officers that they would look aft
er you.'
Have Wrong View, Daniels Says.

iels il he thought all Americans ought
to remain at home and leave the devel-
opment of the worlds business and
