an opening into the sewer.
1t was obvious that the boy had
fought desperately to avoid being

to hi soaorts to drag himself out.
Groom teiephoned Immediately 10

The Turkish government has vol
unfairly explained to the government
of the United States, through Ambas.
sador Mongenthau. that the shots fired
toward the launch of the American
cruiser Tennessee were intended
merely as the customary warning
that the port Of Smyrna was mined
and closed to navigation.
Although the explanation Is infor'
NAL and the United States IS still
awaiting a reply to formal representa-
tions which Ambassador Morgenthau
was instructed to make to the Turk
lsh foreign Office, 1t was generally ad
mitted at the White House, state and
navy departments that all danger OF
serious complications over the Incl
dent had been removed.
Ambassador Morgenthau reported
that two members Of the Ottoman
cabinet, the ministers of interior and |
war, had fully explained the occur
renee to him, and high officials IN
said his message was
iled before the instructions sent from
to discuss the subject
officially with the grand viZier could

Vera Cruz, Mex. Nov. "a. - The
American forces Of occupation evacu.
ated Vera Cruz, after having been in
possession Of the city for a period OF
seven months.
The withdrawal Of the Americans.
under General Frederick Funston,
progressed without disorder. AS the
Americans withdrew Mexican Consti

marched to the center of the city. The
marching music of their bugles filling
the air. The bells OF one church

The abandonment Of the American
positions began at 9 o'clock in the
morning, when the detached post of
marines at FL Tejar, where they have
been guarding the water works since 4
last April, boarded a train for the
run OF one hour into the city. The .
Mexican lines at that time had made
no attempt to advance. This was for
the reason tlat between FL Tejar and
Vera Cruz tnere is a railway junction,
and General Funston had asked the
ConStitutionalist commander not to
move forward any of his trains, for
the reason that to do so would block
he line. The Mexicans waited until
all the Americans from FL TEAR had
passed.

Coxestown Minister Saw the
Religious Upheaval in Wales

by Bishop D. H. Moore at the Confer
ence of 1908.
After four years he was again trans
ferred by the request of Bishop Wilson
to undertake the charge of the Welsh
work of Bangor, in the Philadelphia
Conference in 1910. While busy with
the needs of the work in that COM
munity he closed his final examina-
ton with credit and was ordained
elder by Bishop Smith at the annual
Conference of Philadelphia in the
year 1912.
Mr.. Harries' experiences and labor
while at Bangor among the young
people and children especially was met
with marked success, and he also par
ticipated in the broader field of every
enterprise in the community.
Mr.. Harries having voiced a desire
to enter the English work, he was
called by Bishop Joseph Berry
through the agency of DR.. George II.
Buckley and DIR. William Powick, dis
trict superintendents. A vacancy oc-
curing through the resignation of the
Rev. A. l. Collow, the Rev. Mr.. Har-
ries was called upon to be his success
sor at Coxestown charge. He arrived
upon the ground In the early part of
July of the present year and has taken
up the work with a vim. His vast eN-
perience and participation in 1904-06
in the great religious upheaval in
Wales have given him an equipment
most valuable and precious which
suits him for his work.
