Washington. D. c.. Aug. 5.-The
six Pan-Americau diplomats invited by
President Wilson to join the United
States in formulating a plan for re-
storing peace to Mexico, arrived here
today for their conference with Sec
retary Lansing
The first result is expected to be the
groundwork Of an understanding for
an aII-American project to reestablish

of Mexico and convince the world that
the United States is acting as Mexico's
nearest and most powerful friend and

country from itself

First Appeal to fractional Chiefs.
So far as is known the presidents
plan proposes first, a cessation Of war
fare and establishment of provisional
government by the factional leaders
themselves; should that fail, the Amer
lean nations would assume the task.
Aside from the plan OF settlement
among the Mexican leaders them
selves, the proposal to establish a
Pan-Americau commission TO take over
Mexico, require disarmament, restore
civil government and conduct cleo
tions has now been brought forward
again. Another plan for policing Mex
leo with Pan-American forces also has
been considered.

to include immediate steps TO open
up the railroad between Vera Cruz

OUR DAILY 20

lost my dream last night;
Gone, God knows whittier, in the
beating storm
A spirit host the vibrancy
or spoken word would give Alright
Gone in the believing blackness, with
tender form
Hcrled here and there like wreckage
In raging sea.
The lightest wind that plays
With WHISPERED touch upon n sum-
Iner sea;
The echo through dying day
Or some faint sign which upward
strays
From folding depths of petal called
to ecstacy
One moment yet-were not SO light
as they.
And some of riches were,
Made pure in cknst'ning flames of
noble thought:
or power, sWayed to general good;
pf stricken fields where bugles stir
To mighty deeds; OF love OF state; of
soul unbought
In any mart; OF virtue In It's tidal
Hood.
And some were nearer still;
A strain of music that the years de-
filed;
The passing steam OF friendly eyes;
or hope; and smile; and words that
thrill;
or those grown worn with age: Of
bubies who lispinr died.
And faith: and love; of light that In
the darkness lies.
How many times we'd seem
My dreams and 1.-THE troubled brow
OF care
Grow light, as general poverty,
With merry jests OF what had been,
Moved gentle sorrow unto smiles and
laughter rare:
And then last night the end OF all
came suddenly.
And all my dreams had fled:
And something with colder touch
than death
Had laid the Icy grip OF fear
Upon my heart; and through the dead
Silence of my life l heard the bitter
breath
Proclaim that with me In all time
would be Despair.

ANOTHER PISTOL TRAGEDY

in Anderson yesterday afternoon is
too pathetic to be used to point q
moral. and yet we can not refrain
from calling attention again TO the
practice OF having these dehdly

an automatic one. Deadly almost to
look at. The boy, only thirteen
years old. went into his fathers room
who was absent attending court in
Greenville. The mother was at the
home of some friend. 1t is supposed
he picked the thing up, and it was
accidentally discharged sending a
ball crashing through his head. He
was good boy. but like any other
boy his cruiosity was aroused, and
he wished 10 examine the thing. He
did not know how dangerous 1t was.
1t went on. possibly from the slight
est touch.
How pathetic! Poor broken heart
ed parents! II we could do anything
TO comfort them we would. But the
miserable old pistol what business
had 1t In that home? Who will give
q satisfactory answer? We dare say
no one can, but It was there. and 1t
has left wounds that can never be
healed. What should be done with
all the old pistols and shooting irons
lying around In the homes of the
people within the reach of the child
