hammer thrower's eyes were naturally
turned toward that cold shoulder now,
and. as naturally, his gaze should have
been bent over it, toward the vocal
center of attraction for the moment.
But his gaze had stopped at the
shoulder, or something on 1t. BOD

Helena did not make her appear
ance until half an hour before dinner.
She pleaded headache and she look

came down stairs and joined the walt

Mrs. Strang's telegram arrived at al

Without a word the distressed old

read It In grim silence and then handed
it to Benjamin.
Helena stood before them. her eyes
looking like drowned blue violets in
her pale face.

she began with catch in her voice.
II have told Mr. Lyman = Jack - and
he has forgiven me- l hope you will,

A Menacing Combination.

| Thoughtful legislators of both par
lilies are anxious lest the southern
cotton growers and the grain growers
Iof the West, the latter largely inspired
lby Mr.. Bryan, form combination in
1.-THE approaching Congress and seek to
compel the imposition OF an embargo
lon arms and ammunition for the allied
nations of Europe. The cotton grow
gers are gravely incensed-and not
without reason-at the course of Great
Britain in holding up all cargoes of
jcottton consigned to Germany. 1t is
true that England pays the consignors
the market price for the cotton it con-
fAscates, but it is equally true that the
market price is considerably lower
than it would be were both English
and German buyers free to compete
against each other
So far as the grain growers are con-
cerned they are greatly benefiting by
the war and the prices Of their prod
ucts are materially enhanced. But the
fear is expressed that they will be so
far misled by William j. Bryan that
they will join in a so-calied peace
movement which would. in effect. have
the result of aligning the agricultural
states of the South and West against
the Industrial states of the East.
OF course the effect of such an en-
barge would be disastrous alike to

Predict Mexlcan intervention.

Certain close friends of the president
predict Intervention In Mexico late in
the autumn. They expect that by that
time the difficulties with Germany will
have been settled and they do not
believe 1t will be possible longer to
avoid intervention. Some OF them adj
NIT that they would prefer. for politi-
cal reasons, to postpone Intervention
until the approach OF the presidential
election, as they believe the American
people would not consent to swap
horses in the middle of a stream. All
reports from Mexico, however. indicate
the direct conditions, with pillage and
starvation stalking unimpeded through
the unfortunate land. These condi-
tons are reported not only by the
Brazilian minister, who has represent
ed the United States in Mexico City
with such ability as to win confidence
and admiration, but by the Red Cross
agents as we'll.
The Carranza agency In Washington
has intimated that the Red Cross is
disposed to exaggerate the conditions.
but this intimation has served to
arouse dfstrust of and resentment to-
ward the Carranzistas, rather than
disbelief in the Red Cross.

The ProhibitiOn Question.

Another problem which is disturb
hing the peace Of mind of the admins
ltration is that OF prohibition. Demo
tcratic politicians seriously fear the
tpassage by both houses of Congress OF
Ia drastic prohibition law for the Dis
ftrict Of Columbia. Should such
measure be passed it would put the
president in a serious dilemma. To
approve it would be to forfeit that
support of the liquor interests which
lis so valuable, especially in pecun-
harry way, to the Democratic party. To
Edisapprove 1t would be to forfeit the
support of the church people and the
Iprohibition!sts throughout the land.
The Anti-Saloon League has pledged
itself to raise 100000 to support the
presidential candidate who runs on a
Eprohibition platform, regardless of
whether he is a Democrat or Repub-
1ican. II the organization can carry
hts pledge into effect 1t will mean a
tremendous advantage for the candi-
date which wins its support. And in
this connection William j. Bryan for
prohibition is recalled by the White
House with serious misgivings. OF
course all the influence which his
friends can exert will be used to pre-
vent Congress from passing this prob
lem to the president. But will that
Influence prove potent?

The Resinol treatment speedily heals
eczema, rashes, ringworm, and other
eruptions, and clears away disfguring
pimplcs and blackheads, even when
other treatments prove worse than use
less. Doctors have prescribed Resinol
Ointment and Resinol Soap for eigh-
teen years, and all druggists sell them.

Huerta,s Folly.

! The simplicity of victoriano Huerta
an assuming that he would be treated
by this administration with the same
leniency as has been shown to Villa
and Carranza is regarded as indicative
sof extreme guilelessness on the part
Sof the ex-president of Mexico. 1t is
true that this administration has lent
tevery possible encouragement to both
EWil1a and Carranza, permitting the
maintenance of their juntas in Wash
Rington and New York and allowing
them to raise funds to carry on their
RESPECTIVE revolutions. But neither
ECarranza nor Villa had committed the
Eunpardonable sin, the refusal to obey
the edict of Woodrow Wilson.
/ Early in his administration, Presi-
Sdent Wilson decreed that President
IHuerta must abdicate the presidency
land leave Mexico. To accomplish his
lend the president caused the landing
Iof American troops at Vera Cruz on
hhe pretext of procuring a salute to
1.-THE flag Huerta was finally forced
Eout-with terrible consequences to the
Mexican people, it is true, but in
obedience to the mandate of Mr..
Wilson.

lex-President Huerta to imagine that
