CARRANzA DEFIES U. S.


tContinued from Page One.1
New York today would be in the face
of Carranza's warning that he in
tended to brook no outside interfer-
ence in Mexican affairs, was eagerly
awaited
In a letter to Secretary Lansing,
Arredondo expresses surprise that the
Pan-American conference had under
taken to devise a plan for the pacifi-
cation of Mexico and says reports to
that effect have caused the consti-
tutional government to feel justly
alarmed"
He declares he has been instructed
by Carranza to communicate to the
secretary on the subject.
Let Revolt Go On.
MIR. Carranza and the persons who
cooperate with him." says the letter
to Secretary Lansing. ARE of the pro-
found conviction that if the Ameri-
can government would know the true
situation in Mexico it would under
stand that the only possible, just and
acceptable solution would be to leave
the revolution to follow its natural
course until the complete victory of
the party representing greater neces-
stiles and popularity.
1.-The constitutionalist government
represented by Carranza abstains from
passing any comments on the confer
ences that are being held, because it
has no knowledge of their chara cter
and of the conclusions which may
have been reached and because it does
not want to afford the supposition
that they tacitly consented to it; but
at the same time it considers it its
duty to inform the American govern
ment of the displeasure with which
the Mexican government and people
would view any act which would tend
to Illustrate the success practically ac-
compliShed against the -reactionary
factions by the constitutional army
representing the hopes and ideals of
the Mexican people"
Warships For Refuge Only.
New York, Aug. 11.-Secretary
Lansing assured the Latin-American
diplomats who gathered here today
to discuss plans for the reStora ton of
peace in Mexico, that the Omitted
States, in sending battleshipS to Vera
Cruz, intended only to afford protec-
ton to foreigners and furnish them
a place Of refuge. He explained the
action should not be construed as af-
fecting the effort of the United States
to bring peace by peaceful methods il
Mexico.

FROM INSIDE OUT
View of the Big Circus From a
New Angle.
Actors and Their Families En-
Joy Real Home Life.

To one who has always been &C
customed to look at the world of the
circus from the outside in, a glimpse
from the inside out brings many sur
prises.
Novelists who have chosen the cir
Gus life for depletion in stories have
found it fruitful field. Back of the
curtain, the glamour, and the hoop-la
of the ring, there is a world of real
humanity. Most of the performers
are from families which have followed
the circus from the time it began TO
amuse men and they have learned to
preserve the home ties in circusville
as sacredly as they are preserved
outside.
1T is hard to make the person out
side understand that we have a real
home life, close, sympathetic and pro-
tecting," said a veteran of the road,
who is always found with his wife and
children when the big show is over IN
the afternoon Most of us who fol-
low the show business were born to it.
Our fathers and mothers were per-
formers. When we married we took
girls who like US, were born into the
guild. We are training our children to
take part in small acts just we
were trained. That is the way the
profession is kept up
Showmen say that all star per-
the essentials of physical training when
they were children. No man has
attained manhood without training
as a performer breaks into the BUSH
ness. His muscles must be trained
before they harden.
Circus Father Is Teacher.
In changeable America it is the eX
ception if the son of a lawyer or of q
doctor follows his fathers profession.
But the son or daughter of a circus
is practically the only field from
which the circus manager can recruit
his forces, and the circus fathers and
mothers are the only parents who
have the necessary knowledge anG
the inclination to train their children
in circus stunts while they are
growing.
With Ringing Bros. circus coming
to Topeka next Monday, there are 400
performers, gathered from every part
of the world. They speak nineteen
languages. During the season they use
a total of 5000 costumes, all of which
are cared for by Mrs. George Hartzell,
the little mother of the circus" She
is always motherly and tender, and is
the first to rejoice with her girls over
a new triumph, or to sympathiZe with
them when they fail. Her husband
and her sons are clowns.
Own Their Homes.
AS is the case with the Hartzells,
mos of these performers travel in
families. They are able to preserve
their family life in all its sacredness
even under the trying circumstances
of the circus season. They have laid
by neat sums of money which they
have invested in homes where they
scend their winters. 1t was this stead
Zastness of the home ties, together
with the true human hearts found
under the grease and paint of the per-
former. which first attracted Halle
Erminie Rives and other novelists to
portray circus life.

SLEEVES MAY BE REPAIRED
SkiIlfulIy Done, the Waist Can Be
Made Prettier Than 1t Was at
the Beginning.

If you have kimono-sleeved waist
most likely 1t has torn under the arms
in the way that those sleeves have
from the strain. A patch on such a
tear shows too much to be allowable
on a dress for nice wear, and the fol-
lowing plan makes a good substitute
for the darn or patch. Cut the sleeve
on top, down the center from the neck
to the wrist; now insert in it some
sort of appropriate trimming, such as
a silk band. II this is two or three
inches wide it widens both the sleeve
and the waist just that much, and SO
makes sufficient fullness to allow for
a deep seam under the arm where
the soil or tear has been; and To-! the
waist is not only mended but dressier
than ever if there has already been
an insertion or lace set in along the
shoulder and arm line, a wider piece
may do the work.

WORTH AGAIN GETTING BUSY
Great Partisan Costumer Has Sent Out
Some Hints as to Coming
Spring Costumes.

Paris is beginning to take little in
terest in the question of costumes just
now, and the foremost couturiers are
sending forth their messages of fabric
line and trimming almost as in former
seasons. Worth is making many won
derful frocks for the spring. A recent
letter from the fashion center says:
Worth is employing gabardine and
very soft, silky and supple cloth for
his walking costumes. Fallie Fran
caise is also being used by him very
extensively, and for his evening gowns
he is using a great deal of charmeuse
pekine with silver. His skirts are very
wide and short, showing the shoe. The
sleeves of his evening dresses are ell
bow length; for the robes de Vile the
sleeves are all long. The collars are all
very high and close-fitting. Worth is
also making underskirts, as these will
now be worn with the very wide
dresses"
