Outlook Hopeful

WASHINGTON, Aug.7.-Oficials
think the Mexican outlook hopeful,
General Scott will tell Villa that he
may gain consideration if he compro-
misses, but will not be considered at
all if he is beaten. Differences at
yesterdays Pan-American confer
ence are admitted. Some opposed
Carranza because he advocates the
separation of church and state. Sec
retary Lansing felt the beaten party
ought to have a voice in the final
settlement. All the Pan-Americans
were opposed to American interven-
ton.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Gen
eral Carranza has formally notified
Secretary Lansing, through Judge c.
a. Douglas, that he is willing to nego-
tiate with General Villa for peace.
Secretary Lansing said he had not
submitted this matter to the Pan

is regarded as significant that Gen
eral Scott was ordered to the border.
While waiting for the diplomats in
dorsement, America is trying to res
tore order. 1t is expected the con-

catory measures undertaken by this

body has seen the willowampus, and
what had become of him nobody knew,
until a party of picnicers had their
luncheon stolen and heard the willo-
wampus bowling in glee on the barren
side Of the mountain.
The fact that this fabulous creature
has sought refuge in the mountaia
has certain sadness, in a way, for i.
means that soon it will disappear
from the face of the arth.
Creatures of the willowampus fam.
lily cannot exist where there are too
many people and schoolhouses. Clarks
ton progress drove it out, just like
education drove Pan and the Nymphs
and the fairies into the depths of the
woods, and just as civilization drove
Jupiter and the Greek Gods to seek
final refuge on Mount Olympus, afte'
no one believed In them any more in
the plains and cities. When the gods
went to the mountains, their twilight
had begun and they soon went to join
the phoenix and chimera.
Stone Mountain is doubtless the
Olympus, the last stand, of the Clarks
ton willowampus, and the time i,
probably not far distant when this
less renowned and belated little broth
er of the gryphon and the hippogrif
and minotaur, will disappear in tn;
twilight to join the throng of shadow
Of the things that never were.

Sometimes it's footprints were seen

WILL AN EXTRA SESSION BE CALLED TO PUT ARMY AND

Washington Feels That This Not Unlikely Because of Gel man Attitude as We'll England's Continual Jealous
 Interference With Commerce of United States

in the ranks of her commercial kings over
 the spectacle of Uncle Sam taking the
 lead in the commerce of the world.
 Moreover 1t is asserted that the British
 government has bowed to this feeling of
 commercial jealousy which is consuming
 the empire, and because of 1t has wan
 tonly violated the rights of friendly and neutral nation, using her immense
 navy more effectively against the com
 merce of the United States than she has
 used it against the nations with which she Is at war.
 The general opinion in Washington seems to be that public sentiment in this i. country demands that the United States still remain neutral so far as the war in Europe is concerned, but that this gov ernment vigorously demand that all the nations engaged in this conflict respect our rights, and that the government of the United States prepare itself to en- force it's demands, if need be.
 Senator Lewis of Illinois seemed 10 strike a popular chord-at least in Washington. The Illinois statesman advocates an extra session early in the lfall and the issuance of s500,000.O00 in fbonds of small denominations to be used in putting the army and navy of 1 the United States in shape to defena l the country in case necessity demands I it. Not only Senator Lewis, but many 1 other tnOuRntlul men DtileNe lidl tnlS government ought to make elaborate I nreparations for maintaining, with l force, if need be. the dignity and pres | tige of the nation. If the countries al | war violate our rights. which they
 have done and ignore our demands for i satisfaction, we have not only no way of enforcing them. but we have nc | way of protecting ourselves, unless l Congress provides the ways and means | for increasing the two branches of the

Washington. May 29.-(Special)-Is there to be an extra session Of Congress late in the summer or in the early fall?
 This is the question now asked most in Washington, and the one upon which government officials and leaders are si- lent. The opinion among the closest oo- servers of the drift of events-those events which affect the interest of this nation In connection with the European war-is gradually being crystallized that an extra session Is sure to come.
 How soon it will come depends upon the nature and the frankness of the German reply to the Presidents note dealing with the sinking of the Lusitana.
 Forecasts had been made that the Ger man reply would be conciliatory, but not fully satisfying. and that arising out of the first reply there would be a long, drawn out diplomatic correspondence be- tween the two nations. The general opin- ion is that Germany will not repudiats the actions of her submarine command CTS, nor will she agree in the end to abandon submarine warfare as she has so far conducted 1t. but the opinion is she will delay taking such a stand for some time in an effort to avoid breaking with the United States as long possible. Few expect actual war between the United States and Germany, but a sever ance of diplomatic relations and the desire and demand of the people of this country | for national defense. it Is believed, will | be the cause of an extra session of Con. gross.
 l No one expects the United States tc 1 enter the war on the side of the allies for that matter this government has it; grievances against the allies-particularls Great Britan-as well as against Ger.
 many though, perhaps, they are not SC serious or dangerous. Great Britain. b,
 her policy of hampering the commerc, | of the United States. In the judgmen
 of many, needlessly so and in violation
 of international law. has aroused a storn
 of criticism and indignation in this couit I try second only to the outburst agans
 Germany when the Lusitania was tor l pedoed. It is hinted that one of tn,
 strongest emotions now shaking the Brit
 ish empire is the one of rage and disms.
