TO RECOGNIZE
CARRANZA RULE


in any sense, officials explained. The
term is applied to an authority that
arises out of revolution. When a con-
stitutional government is a~ain erect
ed other credentials Will be given
American diplomatic representatives.
In the meantime the full moral sup
port of the United States is to be
given to the de facto government.
Carranza Has Power.
Secretary Lansing reported to the
conference today that he had confer
red with representatives of the Villa
and Carranza factions and had
reached the conclusion that the Car
rama party possessed the military su-
premacy requisite for government.
On this point all were agreed. Gen.
Villas proposal of a coalition move
ment did not make much headway in
the conference because it was known
that Gen. Caranza would reject it
and the conferees felt they had not
means of interfering in Mexico's in
ternal affairs.
The lengthy memorandum filed by
Eliseo Arredondo, Carranza's repre-
sentative, was read and in it was con-
tanned Gen Carranza's various pro-
|nouncements which briefly include
the convoking of municipal elections
at once, and then a constituent as
sembly to which Gen. .Carranza as
first chief shall give an accounting of
his handling of the executive power.
This ASSEMBLY, will create the constitu-
tional government by holding a gen.
eral election.
Secretary Lansing later explained
that each government would act sep
arately, the attitude of the United
States not being conditioned on that
of other governments or vice versa.
With recognition the process of re-
constructing Mexico is expected to
begin. Many officials expressed their
pleasure that it was possible for th-
United States to recognize Carranza,
because he, as the first to take arms
against Huerta, stood for the liberal
principles of the revolution with
which the United States has been in
sympathy.
Gen. Villas followers had hoped
that the conference would continue
its efforts to persuade Carranza to
form coalition government. What
the Villa faction will do is not clearly
indicated, but that it will continue the
struggle in the field is considered
certain.
The Villa agency here today issued
the following statement:
"The confidential agency again
wishes to stamp as absurd the rumors
Of Gen. Villas intention of establish
ing a separate republic in Mexico.
Gen. Villa authorizes emphatic denial
Of the report. The element which
constitutes the convention cause
would never support such plan even
if Gen. Villa favored it, which he
does not"

Medical ouacks Among the Wounded

Medical Quacks Among the Wounded.
The exploitation Of great variety
OF electrical devices for the treatment
OF diseases has attended the return to
London Of wounded soldiers from the

hold brief against those who, with

opportunity to fatten on the earnings
OF poor and rich alike. We know

HAS A MYSTERY AND CHARM
Stonehenge Place In Which One
Will Ponder Over the History
Of the Past.

No sooner had he set foot on the
nrst swell OF the plain than I became
aware Of what looked like herd Of
elephants, half a mile ahead. They
d1d not move, and slowly it dawned
upon me that this was Stonehenge.
A few minutes later, seated within
the circles OF these enormous stones,
was asking myself the old question
that so many travellers have asked.
For worship, at least, these rude
masses were erected. That seems
fa1rly certain. And to commemorate
q battle, If one may judge from the
Darrows that crown the neighboring
h1llocks. Religion and war-the two
powers that nave charmed and ruled
and tortured the world. So mysteri-
GUS is the whole of life, alike moral
and physical, that the haunting won
der of Stonehenge was neither In
creased nor lessened by what then
saw.
Lifting my eyes to the north, / be-
held almost whole quarter of the
horizon filled with tents and huts the
camp that is to shelter a quarter of
a million fighting men. Along the
skyline to the left, in single file, cut
out sharp in black against the azure
west, moved a band of horsemen. Up
from the plain behind me burst a pat
talon Of Canadian foot and a battery
OF four field guns halted on my right
to give the men chance to stare at
what is perhaps the Oldest relic of
human life in Britain. A year ago l
might have moralized on progress, on
the notable advance we have made
over the crude enginery that brought
these blocks here and set them in
place To-Day find it hard to believe
that chemistry and mechanic arts
have made men different from what
they were.
When the soldiers have looked
little and stretched themselves they
move on. Stonehenge remains, and
the skylarks are still singing the same
song, no doubt, that rang above this
plain thousands of years ago.-Scrib-

DwindIinu HelqoIand.

Helgoland, in the North sea, the for
midable German stronghold, is gradu-
ally yielding to natures forces. This
famous island, held by England from
1907 to 1890, is 45 miles northwest Of
the mouth of the Elbe and Weser, and
though only rock rising ITS feet
above the sea, and less than third of
a mile in area, has acquired great i'm
portance as a German naval base. At
tention has been called to tho fact
that a map in the possession Of the
British Geological society shows that
its circumference in the year 500 was
120 miles. In 1900 the distance around
it was As miles, and as early as 1649
1t had been reduced in area to four
square miles. Erosion by the sea has
been the cause Of the gradual efface-
ment. The wearing away has been
chiefly from the northeastern side,
into which the sea has cut thirty miles
or more-this having been due mainly
to the set of the currents, but also to
the greater hardness of the rock still
left.

NATURE UPLlFTED BY LOVE
Mans Affection for Dumb Animals
Has Been the Means Of Broad
enlng His Intellect.

Who has not loved horse, dog, a
cat or a bird? He has missed re-
flning and softening influence in life.
There is something in our love for
animals that lies deep in our hearts.
Why we love them is a question not
easily answered. 1t is not animal in
stinct; that leads to contempt Of an
inferior. The sick animal in herd
or the weakling in pack is i'll treated
or killed by its fellows. Our love for
them comes partly from their depend
ence on us. Mans nature differs
from that Of lower animals; weakness
and dependence appeal to his tender
ness. Our love for an animal appears
to lift it up out of the commonplace.
The love and companionship that man
has given the dog has raised him in
the ranks of creatures. It has in
creased his intelligence. He has even
gained some traits Of human beings.
In strength of love and faithfulness
the dog exceeds most human animals.
And man loses nothing by companion
ship with animals. His intellect is
broader, he has wider and deeper SYM
pathy with all the world. His nature
is uplifted by the love he bears his
dog or his horse.
Kindness to animals and love for
them should be taught children from
their earliest years. 1t is duty Of
parents, of teachers, of employers.
Some employers need to give more
care to how their horses are driven.
Boys driving delivery wagons are Oft
en- cruel from want of knowledge. II
all were imbued with kindness for ami
mails, there would be little work left
for humane societies.
