The first step to be proposed to-
morrow Will be the issuance Of a final
appeal TO leaders of the fighting fac
lions. II is believed the refusal of any
leader TO join in a peace conference
will be followed by an arms embargo
against that faction. 1t will require
military activity to enforce such an en-

tual intervention is not contemplated
That the general plan includes the
selection of a President for Mexico en-

When all three finally met at the
Hargreave home Florence suddenly
took Jones by the shoulders and
kissed him lightly on the cheek.
Jones started back, pale and dis

brought home to him the fact that his
luck was changing. For years he had
proceeded with his shady occupations
without encountering any memorable
failure. He moved in the high world,
quite unsupported. He had written

at the gullibility Of human nature. But

he must move with the utmost caution

Mo1eskins have been extensively
used in this country during the last
few years in making fur garments,
and practically all of the supply has
been imported from Europe. In the
belief that the common mole Of east.

equal value, skins were submitted to
professional furriers. who stated that
the quality is superior to the foreign
product. A report on the economic
status Of the eastern species was pub
lished during the year. The mole in
habiting the northwestern coast is
larger than the common eastern spe-
cies, and number Of these have been
collected in order to obtain a report
on the quality of the pelt. II the tex
