A Striking RsiOinffrS-

The editor of the Missionary Press
Bureau has forwarded the following
letter TO the Daily Sketch: "In refer
ence to your paragraph respecting
foreign mission in your issue of
November 80, you criticize a sum
OF money going out of the country
at the present time for the attempted
and very problematical conversion of
some far off heathen.' In reply pernfi
me to point out THAT Mr.. Harcourt
has accepted the offer OF the SER
vices of the Fijian troops The fore
fathers of these men were canibals
until the Wesleyan Methodist mis-
sionaries managed to get foothold
on the island. Since then they have
assembled the scale OF civilization
until they are considered good enough
to fight with our troops in France"

Mob Attacks Mexican school.

letter from a missionary In
Queretaro, Mexico. brings to DR..
John w Butler. of the Methodist
mission, the account of a mob raid on
the native school in that city. Not
satisfied with looting every room in
the house and destroying both organs.
the Mexican invaders ended by set.
ting the place on fire.
Armed citizens drove the mob away
and put out the fire. The damage
done by the flames was comparatively
slight, and can easily be repaired
The raiders, however, carried away
or destroyed furnishings and other
things valued at several thousand dol !.
lars
AT It's own expense. the Mexican
Government Immediately began re-
pairs on the injured property. the
authorities declaring that the leaders
of the mob must pay all costs in
volved. Two of the men were or
dered to be shot. The Methodist pas
tor. the Rev. Velasco. and others tried
to save the condemned men Profess
sor Carrana, teacher in the school,
was struck on the head by a stone,
but was not seriously hurt.
This raid took place after the Car
ranZistas had reiterated and before
General Villa had come into control.
Neither faction. therefore, was to
blame. Both Villa and Presiden.
Gutierrez are friendly to US.

ton while, the work Of Improvement
Is progressing.
This latter may be construed par
ticuarly as referring partly to the
condition OF North Tenth Street, from
Clay to Turpin. Within the past sew
eral days a number of delivery wag-
,ons, trucks, city carts and automobiles
have been stalled in the creyasses oc-
casioned by defective work in the
roadbed. The filling in processes on
the trenches occasioned by laying OF
pipes has proven most ineffective. This
particular work will be looked into to-
