FRED l., b0ALT
DEPORTED FOR
UNTRUE STORY
FROM MEXICO
Sec'y Garrison Acts on
Law of Flight
Fabrication

Washington. July 2s.-Secretary Carl
son announced today that he had direct
ed Brigadier General Funston at vera
Cruz to deport from Mexico Fred l..
Boalt, correspondent for the Newspaper
Enterprise Association, who sent out a
sensational story that an American ma
val officer applied the law of flight to
Mexican prisoners. A court of inquiry
pronounced the story false.
There was absolutely no truth In MS
story" said Secretary Garrison today
"and he had no reason to think it was
true. 1t was pure. sheer, reckless fao-
rication and Boalt is not entitled to be
considered a reputable correspondent.
The time and manner of Boalts de-
portation will be left with General Funs-
ton.

Russian Offer Refused

Sir Edward Grey, the British secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs, to
whom all Europe looks as the foremost
conciliator of Europe, is attempting.
it is believed, to frame fresh proposals
for a settlement. The diplomatic
world of London clings to the belief
that a means can be found whereby
Austria may satisfy Russia that she
can attain her ends without recourse
to measures which the Russian gov
eminent and Russian public opinion
cannot accept.
Looking to Grey
There is the greatest anxiety as to
whether Russian mobilization will be
confined to the Austrian boundary or
is proceeding secretly against GeN
many, but between mobilization and
war there is a gap which the two ma
tons bridged in 1909 and may again.
Watching Russia
The first important fighting occurred
before Belgrade. when Servians blew
up bridge across the river. The Aus
TRANS attacked them and the Servians
confirmed reports say is being bom-
barded.

that Russia asked Austria for

that Austria refused this offer.
The refusal appears to have

In this hour of darkest night,
Little children cry for light;
Cry and call across the sea,
Stretching tiny hands to thee;
Sob and call and cry for bread,
In this hour of deepest dread.
In this hour of grief and fear,
They are calling to US here:
They are sobbing in the rain,
Cold and hungry and In pain:
Babies, frightened in the night,
Crying, calling for a light.
From the terror and the cold,
May we not one lamb enfold;
Lay one dropping little head,
On its pillow, comforted;
Burn one candle, clear and bright,
Where the children cry for light?
In our comfort and our ease
Shall we not hush one of these?
In the midst Of all our store,
Can we not hold one heart more?
Fill one little outstretched hand.
From the harvest of the land?
Children call across the sea,
Lifting tiny hands to thee.
