WASHINGTON, Aug. Ga pro-
gram definitely agreed on 1t was bs-
lieved at today's meeting between
Secretary Lansing and the Latin
American diplomats on the Mexican
problem. promised to conclude con-
sideration of the plans for restoring
order in the republic south of the Rio
Grande.
Three things seemed to bear ont
the theory that the conferees had
made up their minds:
Secretary Lansing intimated that
there might not be another confer
ence.
1t was admitted that the secretary
was scheduled for an extremely conn-
Dental talk with General Hugh Scott,
chief of the regular army staff
The hint was thrown out from off-
cial headquarters that General villa
was SO nearly ION his last legs" that
it ought to be easy to force him into
an agreement with General Carran-
"a. as the only alternative to being
ighbminiousiy Beaten by the eiaftef.
According to the best Information
obtainable the program contemplated
one certain anu SocOnO PoSSAOA"
step.
The first, it was assumed. would
be a proposition for a peace confer
Villa. 1t was presumed that Gener-
al Scott, famed for his success as a
mediator, would make the suggestion
to the rival leaders.
The two. if this theory was cor
rect. would be asked to agree on a
candidate for provisional president
whom the United States and the Lat.
in-American governments could rec.
ognize. This provisional presidents
business would be to administer
Mexico's affairs until regular cleo
ton could be called, II possible with
in thirty and certainly within
sixty days. OF a permanent presi-
dent. the Mexican people would be
left absolutely to make their own
choice.
The provisional executive would
have to be satisfactory to General
Carranza as the most powerful fac
tor in Mexico at this time. He must
not be absolutely impossible from
General Villas standpoint, but Villa,
who, 1t was thought, should consider
himself fortunate to be recognized at
all, must not be unreasonably criti-
cal of Carranza's selection.
"A Cientiefto," it was felt. was out
Of the question. A member Of the
late Madero's cabinet was deemed
most suitable. Vasquez Tagle was
the only one who never resigned, but
Carranza has already signif1ed that
Tagle would not meet his views AS
an alternative, Pedro Lascurain was
most generally mentioned.
Carranza, it was believed, would
accede to this arrangement, with the
understanding that he was to have
the predominant voice, as suggested.
This step number one was under
stood to be the plan Secretary Lans-
ing and the Latin-Amerfcan diplomats
hoped would succeed.
The alternative contemplated Gen
eral Villas possible refusal to accept
the terms proposed
1t consisted in recognition of Car
rama as provisional president, with
all necessary support in crushing the
Villistas completely.

LONDON, Aug. 6.-British critics
consider today that the fall OF War
saw will have tremendous influence
on the next six months fighting in
Europe and possibly upon the pol1ti-
cal fortunes of the allies.
The capture OF Warsaw will re-
lease at least 100000 Austro-Ger-
mans for operations elsewhere. 1t
makes 1t possible for the Austro-Ge
mans to hold the vistula line with a
minimum Of men against any offen-
sive blow the Russians may be ex-
pected to deliver, for many months.
The military critics, therefore, turn
"a their attention today to speculat-
Ing on Germany's next move.
"a popular guess was that the Ger
mans would renew the offensive
against Paris at once, or hurl all avail
able forces against the Anglo-French
lines in an effort to reach Calais.
Other critics suggested that the kaiser
will now join Austria in determined
attempt to march down the Alps into
northern italy, or completely to crush
Serbia.

Poland is now about to close. In
some quarters. however. It is believed
that Won Hindenburg may attempt an
advance against Petrograd or along
the Odessa railway, though this view
is not shared by the majority of the
London critics.
The military value OF the capture
Of Warsaw was generally minimized

It was admitted that the blow prob

laid great stress on the political i'm
portance Of the German victory. es-
pecially in view Of the wavering at
titude Of the Balkan neutrals.
The military and strategic conse-
quences, however. are very different
from the political" said the Daily
Telegraph, whose comment today was
typical Of that of the London Press:

Famous Royal Artillery Band.

One Of the most famous bands is
that of the Royal artillery. Many per-
sons who have attained distinction in
the musical world have been connect
ed with the Royal artillery or it's band
Among them was Sims Reeves, who
was the son OF a bandsman, and who,
in his boyhood. sang in the military
choir at Woolwich. 1t is, perhaps, not
well known that the Royal artillery
band is fifty years older than the
Philharmonic society, having been
formed in 1862. 1t has done much for
the advancement of music in England,
and has always enjoyed the advantage
Of having a succession OF eminent mu-
sicians as bandmasters. 1t has always
been double-handed that Is to say,
the players are as proficient on
stringed instruments as ON wind, and
can at any time assume the character
of an orchestra.

The war will teach that a nation

have, beside material strength. the
true ideals OF brotherhood. The sec
ond lesson that this war is teaching Is
that might Is not right, and any nation
that thinks so TO the contrary will re-
greet 1t. The third lesson is that peo-
pie have been wrong in saying that
men are invincibly selfish. for this war
offers thousands and thousands Of
cases of men gladly giving UP their
lives The fourth lesson is that the
old belief that war Is glorious is a
false belief. War is far from glorious
and we are realizing il today as never
before. Because OF the neglect of ma
tional Christianity we find this war
existing today. Christianity is for ma
lions as well as for individuals and

MACHINE TO TEACH MUSIC
After-schooI Practice Hours May Be
Lightened as Result of New
System.

As the result of a system Of mu-
steal time-recording records for talk
ing machines lately devised by Jules
Louis-Elson of Far Rockaway N. Y,
the prospect of after-school practice
hours on the piano stool may be light
ened for Juvenile music students.
The principles contained in what
his inventor terms his scenario may
be interpreted on six double-disk talk
ing machine records, or, the same re-
suit may be obtained in condensed
form by combining all Of the musical
counting or time recording on one
record only.
On one side OF the record are ex-
amples cited by the instructor in oral
text: on the other side is the oral
count of beats, as. /, Q; /, 2, 3, /, 2,
3, 4, etc. A concluding specimen Of
the oral instruction text is as fol-
lows: For example, let US take the
Presto form (the record plays 12
bars). Now, when you consult the
printed music you will notice that the
quarter, or c Gas it is printed, is
barred. This serves to indicate that
one should count in two. The record
now sings as teacher does the pre-
, viously played bars of the Presto, en-
phasizing the count; /, 3; /, 2. Thank

Remarkable Double Tree.

There is said to be in Kentucky q
tree bearing each year a crop of wal
nuts and crop of mulberries; and
the curious phenomenon is accounted
for by the supposition that mulberry
seed fell where walnut lay in the
ground, and the young shoots came up
side by side and united their forces
into one solid trunk. This suppose
ton seems feasible from the fact that
the bark Of the tree is On enc side
that of walnut and on the other that
of the mulberry.

Money From Snakes.

Lewis Anthony, well-known Ware
farmer, expects to take legal action
against negro named John Ham
mond because the negro killed large
rattlesnake on Mr.. Anthony's farm, ac-
cording to a Waycross (Ga.) corre-
spondent of the New York Sun.
Mr.. Anthony catches all snakes in
his settlement and sells them and he
figures that the negro has caused him
loss Of at least 81 in killing the rat
tier.
Hammond was working near Mr..
Anthony's farm, and when he saw
a RATHER he lost no time in getting
1t out of the way. The snake had
thirteen rattles and button.
