fighting was not exactly like
grown-up fighting, for they never
tried to hurt each other, and
whenever they were killed they
canned right to life again. They

MEXICAN SITUATION FAIRLY QUIET WHILE
A. B. C. MEDIATION PLANS ARE ON

Washington, April 29.-Despite the
fact that the army and navy are still
keyed up to war pitch. the Mexican
problem apparently has resolved
itself into a diplomatic riddle with no
one in authority prepared to hazard
a guess on whether it will be success
fully solved.
The three A. B. C. diplomats who
have undertaken to bring peace out
of chaos, sit in almost continuous
conference in the big mansion occu-
pied by the Argentine legation. They
admit privately that their task is des-
perate, but they assert they are hope
full. That premature publication
might spoil all is the answer to any
inquiries.
In answer to the report that Huer-
ia attached some strings" to his ac--
ceptance of the A. B. c.. mediation
offer, Spanish Ambassador Riano
said the acceptance was absolute and
without any conditions.
A number of refugees will land at
San Francisco May 2, according to
advices from the consul at Mazatlan.
All refugees at that place have had
ample chance to leave and only 80
Americans are left there and 260
refugees were reported en- route from
TuXpam to New Orleans. 800
refugees have left Manzanillo.
From Nogales, Laredo and Torres,
the state department was assured
that American refugees are not in
danger.
Further concentration of cavalry
on the Mexican border was ordered
when an additional troop of the
Tenth Cavalry was shifted to Naco,
Ariz., across the border from San Joe,
Sonora. Two troops of the Tenth
Cavalry are now at Naco. At Doug
las, Ariz., one-half of the Ninth Cav
airy is stationed and nearby at Forst
are two troops of the Tenth Cavalry.

Federal forces under Generals
Quintana and Guardiot are reported
repulsed by a superior force of revo-
lutionists 80 miles above Laredo.
General Carranza, chief of the con-
stitutionalists, answered the diplo-
matte note of the mediating nations
inquiring if he would accept their Of
fees with view of arriving at set
tlement of the Mexican situation.
Carranza is not willing to give his
approval to any plan that contem-
plates a compromise with Huerta or
which will limit his freedom of ac-
ton in carrying on the revolution.
F.. 1t is rumored that there will be a
split between General Villa and Car
rama over the latter's attitude to-
ward the U. S. 1t is believed that the
administration would favor this as it
would place the fighting man, Villa,
on the side of the U. S.
The proposal to end hostilities en-
braces three things: That the U. S.
stop all military movements directed
toward Mexico. That Huerta stop all
military movements directed toward
the U. S. That Huerta, Carranza and
Zapata be requested to designate rep
resentatives to confer on ways and
means to bring an end to strife
among Mexican people.

Nothing more was said for minute.

A few in our room were vaccinated. but
none of them were Zion people.
Yesterday noon Mr.. Curtis came up and
told us that he was speaking for the house
he represented, and that Marshall Field
wanted all his employees vaccinated; that
his representative would be there in a
little while, and then we could take our
choice as to whether we would be vac
cinated or not. He said that he was not
compelling any one to be vaccinated, but
that we would have our choice. "(Must

When the representative came, the ma
chimes were shut down again, and we were
told to decide. The Zion people would
not be vaccinated under any circum-
stances, regardless of their jobs or any
thing else.
Some Of the Independents did not sub
nit, as they said if they compromised they
would have to give up their religion Miss
Chadwick did not submit neither did Miss
Ropp, who is not member of any church.
A number Of them who said they would
not be vaccinated gave in at the last,when
it came to losing their positions. When
we asked them why they did it, they said
they submitted against their will.

If all the people in Zion City stood to-

Mr.. Thorpe, is God the Almighty dead
Has He gone into bankruptcy? Can you
not trust God? Had you stood firm like a
man, having had Zion teaching, Voliva

Wednesday, November 4th, Mr.. Wilkin-

us to be vaccinated, and she refused, so
he came and said:
How about your being vaccinated?"

The next day, Thursday, we were called
up, and the doctor read letter to us from
