a plan was without the backing of
any responsible leader was known
with almost absolute certainty.
Funston did say that Texas poll

The rushing to border territory of
practically the whole of the mobile

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE
Mexican situation was regarded
hopefully here today.
The Pan-American conferees were
believed to have taken a wise first
step. Indications were seen that
q basis Of agreement might be ar
rived at with Gen. Carranza.
Conditions at Vera Cruz and
throughout Carranxista territory
generally were considered better
than was supposed . day or two
ago. Much of the earlier uneasiness
was attributed to false published
reports that more warships had
been ordered rushed to Vera Cruz

coast, but not to be sent there un.

They had not been made public in

movement existed among the Mexi.

For once much lauded Polly" of wants.a-crackerfame has proved her self useful as well as noisily orna- mental and the green-tailed prattler is now an important feature in the intricate sniping system which has been developed in Europe during the past year
 A French scientist recently discov- cred that the parrot is acutely sensi- tive to the presence or aircraft, and accordingly the Allies have station ed" a number of the Pollies on the Eiiel Tower in Paris in order to warn the sentries of the approach of Ger man Taubes Before the intruding machine-bird is visible to the human eye the parrot fairly "bristles with excitement" and begins to screech.
 Polly's acuteness is not due to her eyesight, as one might suppose, but to an unusual sense of hearing which enables her to give a very valuable warning.
 The Bird Corps is not restricted to caged birds, however. or even to those of the land At sea the gulls are al- most of as great service. as they are quick to betray the presence of a sub marine which rises to the surface. As soon as the periscope appears above the water the gulls rise in big flocks. circling around 1t and calling shrilly, thus indicating the where. abouts of the submarine to the look outs Of any ship that happens to be in the vicinity.
