CARRANZA WARNED
ON FOOD SITUATION
us. State Department Pro-
tests Against Gen. .Obregon'S
"Incendiary Statements"
MEXICO CITY
IN BAD PLIGHT

WASHINGTON. d. c.. March A.
The State Department has protested
to General Carranza against alleged
"incendiary statements" made in
Mexico City by General Obregon re-
garding the food situation there. Al
though Obregon made public an
nouncement that he would withdraw
his troops at the first signs of hunger
riots, state Department advices today
said he had declined aid from an in
ternational relief committee.
The situation in Mexico City is at
tributed TO the closing of government
offices, the suspension of industry,
the isolation Of the capital from the
outlaying country and the sending OF
food supplies TO Vera Cruz.
State Department reports were
summarized in this announcements
"Tho Department is advised that on
March . the press of Mexico City pub
lishod another statement from Gene
raj Obrogon as follows:
AZ the first attempt at riot / will
leave the city AT the head OF my troops
in order that they may not fire sim

tude, as the merchants did not ac-
ccpt the invitation which was mado to
them TO assist the people and prevent

This statement appears 10 be COM

CHAPTER VII.
Nfoht Wind.


From that time forth Sandry began
to AXE a keener interest in Siletz. For
one thing, no noticed that everyone
called her Sletz, with a soft slurring
of the first syllable, and he found him
self using the name which he thought
particularly beautiful. 1t was the
name of the reservation to the north
and of a small part of the odds and
ends of tribes thrown in there by a
~beneficent government. What was her
other name? He had always thought
Of her as Ma Daily's daughter; and
yet, now that he came to think of it,
she had never seemed akin to the easy
going, open-minded foreman who was
SO like the old woman She was alien
to both with her silences, her whimsi-
cal speech and her look of hidden fire.
One day in the late fall, when the
white mist and the evergreen of the
forest had got on bis nerves unbear-
ably, Sandry left the Office and went to
the shed for Black Bolt, only to find
him gone. He had meant to ride off
the fit of blues. Failing that, he decid-
ed to walk it off, and struck up the wet
green valley to the north.
Almost Immediately the tumbling
hills closed in upon him and he found
himself in a wilderness of towering
frs, of dripping vine naples and mys-
FERROUS paths lost in the crowding
ferns. He was standing at rest in a
small glade carpeted with pine nee.
dies and surrounded with ferns, when
he caught the sound of voices. They
came from the dense wall of the woods
at his right and unconsciously he lis
tened, tipping his head and straining
his ears. Presently a look of blank
ness spread upon his face.
One of the voices wal familiar, soft
and sliding with minors. the voice of
the girl Siletz, and she was speaking
jargon.
Even as this amazing knowledge
was borne in upon him the tangle
parted and she stepped out before him.
A Siletz squaw followed her, a short
brown creature of comedy features,
clad in brilliant flannel, a towering
pyramid of baskets slung to n Shout
der. Nosing eagerly at the girls ell
bow stepped Black Bolt, while Coos
nah brought up the rear. They per-
ceived him instantly and the Indian
woman turned away with a few gut
turals which Siletz answered gently.
But in the moment that she had o n
fronted him, Sandry had seen her face
and received a shock.
Beginning just under the lower lip
and running downward to the base of
the chin there stood out three blue
bars, each composed of infinitely tat
tooed designs. internationally his star
tied eyes flew to the dark face of the
girl. There, on her lighter skin, tell

great affection, that it did not sound
like a mans, a sons to a father
rather like a daughters to an ailing
mother, signed, sealed and stamped it,
and sat for many minutes holding it in
his hand, staring hard with drawn
brows at the yellow pine of the new
walls. Again the faint shadow of sad
ness, o. 'regret, fickered from the past
acros his features. Then he sighed,
rose with his graceful quickness and
Strengthened his shoulders. AS he
closed the desk and stepped from the
office he felt that he had gathered up
the reins of the new life.
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1915-10-29

tale in it's truth of outline, was the be
ginning of the same mark, broken in
its inception by some mysterious
hand.
For a moment Sandry's head whirled
and a sort of nausea came over him.
Then he became conscious of her dark
eyes,, level and calm, upon his face and
a thrill that sent the blood pounding
in his veins shot through him. The
mighty trees around them, the eternal
majesty of the hills under the intimate
gray sky, the girl in her trim, sensible
attire of blue shirt, short skirt and
boots, with hat sudden revelation of
the wild about her, combined to sug-
gest the unreal, the mysterious, the
lawless; in a flash he understood her
silences, her calm, her occasional
stilted modes of speech, and her
whimsicalities.
"Why-why-S'1etz!" he stammered,
following out the train of his illumined
thought, what are you? Who are
you? A star in the dusk! The night
wind in the pines!"
In the flush of the pregnant moment
he laid his hand on her bare arm I'M
der the ~rolled-up sleeve-her soft arm,
wet with the mist-closing his fingers
strongly upon it. For the enchanted
present she was romance and mys-
terry, and Sandry was beneath its spell.
But Siletz looked from his face
down to the hand upon her arm. The
blood roco cloudy in her duskV cheeks.
and when she raised her eyes again
they were dim with the same look of
i~ntoxication as had come with the mad
ness of the rushing wind on Black
Bolts back.
"Yes,' she said dreamily, II am the
Night Wind. That's what they call me
my friends the Indians. But how
did you known"

VIVA Blood and HorsefIesh.


The fall drew on apace. Sometimes
the austere gloom of the mighty coun-
try thrilled Sandry with a strange
compelling; oftener it held him at a
dripping window with a load of lead
IN his heart. He had no companions.
John Daily, easy, simple, suggesting
tried force, was his only comfort. In
him he found something vaguely fine,
as the plain little stone at the bottom
Of clear waters takes on a certain
simple beauty. They spent an occa-
sional evening together in the little
office, talking of the work, and the new
wne asked and learned many things.
Into the ample heart of white-haired
Ma Daily Sandry had stepped that first
night, wholly without intent.
HE speaks like a man." she opined
decisively, IAN you mark my words
he'll prove himself SO, if his hands are
white"
OF the girl Siletz he had scarcely
taken a moments notice. He did not
even know that when she served him
silently at the oilcloth covered table
the two long braids were tied togeth-
er at the nape of her neck so that by
no chance could they fall against his
hand. Neither did he know that the
dog Coosnah watched him always with
pale eyes,. OF these two he knew less
than Of any others in camp with whom
he had as much to do. AS for the girl
herself, she kept away from his vicin.
fly Oftener they two, the girl and the
dog, silent with a common consent
like wild things of the woods, sought
the wind-swept top of the great stump
on the western ridge. Here Siletz
looked down on the dropping slope
and wondered Of the cities and the
sea He had come from them both.
She had never seen a man like him.
His clothes were different. His speech
was unlike. So were his hands, white
and fine grained.

did you like it?" Sandry asked her
amusedly that evening as he passed
through the eating room.
YES" said Siletz with her belying
quietness.
Il believe I've found a study he
said to himself as he went N, "a
worthy study in human nature"
And Siletz had found a new heaven
and a new earth. Something wild with
in her that had aver moved r~estlessly
broke forth, a glorious flower of &c
stasy. Day by day thereafter she
loosed Black Bolt and sped into fields
of Elysium, lost to earth, intoxicated,
mad with the rush of wind and rain.
Always when she came back there
was the dusky flush in her face, the
sleepy look of iptoxication in her eyes.
Thus winter closed in on the lonely
camp in the mountains. blue-black and
gray with mist and rain and vivid
green with the new grass OF the coast

trouble With the Yellow Pines.

Trouble With the Yellow Pines.
Walter Sandry sat in the Office at
the slough's edge, busy with file and
ledger. Two months had passed and
something had lifted from him in
these two months; a weight had light
ened. Where had been a huge dis
gust, almost intolerable in its m
tensity, for this r~ain-soaked land, there
had crept in an insidious admiration.
Often now he looked down the green
little valley sharply defined between
it's binding hills and felt the subtle
charm of the intimate shadows, the
near white dusk and the great trees
under whose dropping feathery boughs
there lay silence and a sense of ref
uge.
Suddenly there came to him a clam
or of voices, oaths and the throaty
tones Of strong men in anger. Up from
the lower rollway a group of loggers
came stalking in their spiked boots.
Behind them Murphy rocked excitedly
along in the tiny locomotive.
Sandry shut his ledger and stepped
outdoors.
whats the matter, Collins?" he
asked of a huge man in the lead, a
perfect type of the logger of the great
Northwest, sun-browned, hard-mus-
cled, wiry of figure and with the en-
durance and power Of a bull elephant.
Matter enough. Them damned
Yella Pines's sawed five piles in tn
rollway an tore up two lengths of
track"
Sandry went ahead down the track
and found a state of things sufficient
to raise the ire of any riverman or
timberjack.
Where the track approached the roll
way it had been torn Ut bodily, the
ties and rails thrown into the narrow
slough, as evidenced by a few pro-
jecting ends, and the rollway itself, a
slanting floor of logs some two feet
thick supported on a group of gradu-
ated piles, sagged in the center where
two piles had been cut and pried side
wise. The lower edge also dropped
for the same reason. 1t had been the
work of pure malice, that he saw at
q glance.
Collins" he said as the men came
up in a sullen group, get to work and
see If you can raise those sawed sup
ports and pry them back on their
bases"
The gang went slowly down the
sharp bank of the tidewater slough.
Johnny Eastern" said one softly,
"all right, all right! Prize up a roll
way! My Aunt Maria!"
Sandry stood near, realizing his linn
itations and raging helplessly, watch
ing them lazily testing and pushing
here and there.
Hadn't we better just spike 'em
on to the sides?" asked Collins, with a
droll upward glance.
Sandry was about to reply when
John Daily slipped down from the track
beside him under the lee of the DAM
aged rollway.
Collins" he said sternly, you get
back to camp and bring tools-peavies,
hooks, a couple of chains and some
picks. Bring a couple of axes, too.
What do you mean by such business?'
"Orders," said Collins with a grin.
"You see, Mr.. Sandry," said Daily
apologetically, there's nc fixin' such

As he wrote these words the young
mans bright blue eyes softened like
a woman's and a grim line settled
about his lips. He knew, on the word
of the greatest specialist of two contf-
nents, that the digniied old gentleman
to whom they were addressed, a white

BIG WAR GAME
 TO BE REALISTIC

Washington, April 2s.-The Atlantic fleets war game in Narraganssett bay next month will have greater de- gree of realism than such exercises In the past. Plans have been worked out by the general board and the naval war college instead of by the com mander- i'm chief and his staff, as usual. so Admiral Fletcher will have only such knowledge of the imaginary enemy as could be gained of real enemy in time of war.
 Secretary Daniels in signing the nec- cssary orders for the war game today said the plan worked out had been recommended by Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, retiring aide for operations. MT. Daniels thinks the game as played, according to the new plans. will oe more instructive and will mark the beginning of a new policy in devel- cping strategical studies and exercises of the navy.
