 Gen. CarranZa's Pledge.
 The statement was as follows:
 "I have the honor to say that inas- much as the re-esta blishment of peace within order and law is the purpose of the government of Ven- ustiano Carranza, to the end that all the inhabitants of Mexico, without ex- ception, whether nationals or foreign CTS, may equally enjoy the benefits of true justice, and hence, take in terest in cooperating to the support of the government, the Laws of Re- form, which guarantee individual freedom of worship, according to everyone's conscience, shall be strict ly observed.

 Thus far only the sale of bread has been regulated, but the regulation of sugar is contem plated. There is great need of clothing and blankets, but the scarcity of leather and hides is still more keenly felt. The re-soling of shoes is prohibitively expensive.
 Relief measures hithar have not been as effective as they might have been, because of lack of organization. Various societies have been working at cross-purposes, overlapping and duplicating.

 In the meantime the only active military operations seem to be cen- tered around Monastir, the fate of which is obscure. The many contra dictory reports on this subject vary from the assertion that the city is still in the hands of the Serbians to the claim that the Bulgarians, accom- panied by attachments of Austrians and Germans have occupied the city.
 Serbian Forces Retreating.
 Further to the north, it is reported the Serbian armies, divided into two sections, are retreating into Albania and Montenegro. It is not yet appar- ent whether Austro-German forces are to be sent against the Anglo French lines north of Saloniki, but at the other extreme of the Balkan front the Montenegrins are expecting a heavy attack from the Austrians.
 The entente ministers at Athens are said to have received the reply of Greece to their second note. Greece is reported to have promised to meet all demands which do not threaten to compromise her neutrality.
 An unmistakable lull prevails along the eastern front.
 From the west come official reports of a lively air and sea skirmish off the Belgian coast.

Some of them are clever at it,
but the fault is always discern
ible even to the most casual
reader. It is disconcerting to
said reader to find, appended to
a news item on the local pages,
an expression of the personal
opinion of the writer prefaced
by 1--WE believe it to be" or I'm
our opinion" or something equal
ly inane for which Friend
Reader doesn't care the proven
bal damn. Editors must have
some place to blow off steam, to
get rid of excess energy which
more fortunate men use up by
punching, literally or otherwise,
their opponents. Editors can't
punch, they never have sufficient
money to pay the follow-up fine.
But if country newspaperism is
ever to even remotely approach
journalism, editors must confine
their own personal feelings to
the editorial page-where the
readers will find it easily skipped
if it proves boresome.

CHARLES DICKENS AGAIN!

TT is possible we are to see a
revival of the popularity of
= Dickens, that this wonder
full English story teller will
again make readers laugh and
cry with the men and women
who live between the covers of
his books. Frank Crane, who
has way of seeing clearly, has
written a strong plea for a new
writer who will leave the mud
and slush of the so-called
strong" present-day fiction
and tell the simple, plain stories
of simple plain men and women
like you and me. In his plea
Crane says this of Dickens:
''The greatest novelist that
ever lived was Charles Dickens.
And he was great because he
sensed the wonder and beauty
of the common life. His poor
people were not sitting around
with scowling faces planning a
revolution. They were eating
roast beef and pudding. In their
homes were cheer and glee, love
and loyalty. He was the one
genius who knew what human
ity means"
The Kansas City Star has al
SO awakened. Under the cap
ton The Cleanness of Dickens,
we read:
"You have noticed, Of course,
that with growing and mental
ly acquisitive kids in the house
you never worry about their
picking up a Dickens book and
reading it., You run over in
your mind the scenes and char
acters and themes Of Dickens.
You do not think of anything
that would hurt your growing
boy or girl. Yet you cannot
think of Dickens as flabby, or
insipid, or weak. You do not
wish all writer's to be Dickens
es. But you cannot withhold
gratitude from the great Eng
fish master for his glory of
cleanness."
It all helps! Who can tell!
We may again see the time
when we hate the Uriah Keeps,
love the Little Dorritts, pity the
Barnaby Ridges, laugh at the
Micawbers- grow healthy
minded and human by reading
Charles Dickens.

you will miss a glimpse of
Heaven which will do your soul
good. We are not referring to
the ordinary dignified pie that
sits up straight and proper like
wedge of petrifed something
unnamable. We mean the good,
juicy, squizzly kind where the
red filling oozes all over the
plate, so that you grab your
spoon when you think nobody's
looking, and tilt your plate to
get the last drop of the red de-
liciousness. Then, it's barely
possible, you may ''beat it" to
the kitchen, where, if you are
fortunate enough to OUTRAGE the
rest of the family, you'll click"

putting it away unwashed.
