gave the first intimation that the
Villa-Zapata force in Mexico City had
determined to offer resistance to the
invading Carranza army instead OF
evacuating. Gonzalez himself, it is
indicated, cut the communication be-
tween Vera Cruz and Mexico City to
isolate the Zapata forces.
This prevents the state department
from communicating with the Brazil
ian minister and deprives all other
foreign governments of information
concerning their diplomatic missions
and subjects.
Famine conditions in Mexico City
have been growing worse daily and
investment by new army, it is fear
ed, will cause much suffering to for
eigners.
While it is generally understood
tat there will be no further develop
ment in the general Mexican situation,

Wilson from Cornish, it is thought in

S TO LESSEN BURDENS
Britain Doing Best to Reduce
inconvenience Entailed ON
Neutrals.

@NSuOA CAACo
Washington, June 24.-Great Brit
IN, in memorandum transmitted to
he United States and made public
ere and in London tonight, recites its
4 efforts to minimize inconveniences to
neutral commerce resulting from the
ri order in council against trade with
Germany Austria and Turkey, and
asserts that American citizens have
no just grounds for complaint on ac-
y count of the treatment accorded their
7 cargoes
No attempt is made to answer the
principle asserted in the American
note of March 1 protesting against
the order in council and insisting
upon the rigst of neutrals to carry
on legitimate commerce with each
other and to trade in noncontraband
with civilians in belligerent countries.
In transmitting the memorandum
Ambassador Page said it was mere
ly an explanation of concrete cases
and the regulations under which they
are dealt with"
Another Note Preparing.
Another note to Great Britain is
now preparing at the state depart
ment and is expected to be dispatched
as soon as the negotiations with Ger
many over submarine warfare have
been cleared up. While this COM
munication probably will make refer
ence to the latest memorandum, it is
understood that the manner of en-
forcing the order in council will not
be treated as relevant to the ques-
ton at issue-whether there is any
warrant in international law for the
powers that Great Britain and her
allies Gave assumed to exercise over
TIE commerce of the world.
In it's memorandum the foreign Of
fee emphasizes the various special
concessions made in favor of United
States citizens" in setting forth that
all British officials have acted in every
case with the utmost dispatch con-
sistent with the object in view and
of showing in every case such con-
sideration for neutrals as might be
compatible with tie object-namely,
to prevent vessels from carrying
goods for or coming from the enemy's
territory"
For Special Cases.
Arrangements for buying American
cotton detained and for permitting
tn epassage of goods bought in Ger
many by Americans before the date
of order in council are outlined and
the promise is made that considera-
ton will be given to special cars OF
this kind in the future.
According to a summary Of ships
detained, there are 27 vessels which
cleared from the United States now
held in ports of the United Kingdom.
OF these eight are said to be unload
ing cotton which Great Britain has
agreed to purchase, seven will be al
lowed to depart as soon as items of
their cargo placed in a prize court
have been discharged and the other
12-three of them American ships
are the subject of Investigation not
yet completed.
Regarding the complaint that there
has been undue delay in prize court
proceedings, the memorandum quotes
from the minutes of the prize court
on the case of the steamer Ogeechee
to show that the counsel for the own
ers really are responsible for delays,
having asked for further time before
the cases were called.
No Ground for Complaint.

Gen. Carranza has given this gov
ernment assurance that every effort
will be made by Gen. Gonzalez to pro-
tect the lives and property Of foreign

BRICK VS.. CEMENT PAVEMENT

With the extension of Columbia s
pavement, the question of the relative
value of brick and cement pavement
for residence streets comes up for
discussion.
There exists a popular fallacy that
cement is the ideal pavement for res
idence streets. On the contrary ce-
ment pavements, though the most
durable, are the most inelastic, the
most Objectionable in color and the
noisiest of our modern pavements.
This extreme durability feature, how
ever, has led to the use of the cement
surface for national highways and
military roads both in this country and
Europe.
The whiteness Of the cement is ex-
tremely glaring, and the reflection OF
the white surface causes the sur
rounding atmosphere to be much
warmer, especially in climate such
as this, where we have intense heat
In summer.
While the initial cost of cement
pavement is less than that of good
quality brick, in the long run the
brick pavement is apt to prove more
economical. In a town such as this
it is often necessary to dig up a road
bed to install water mains, sewers or
other sanitary Improvements. and the
cement is more costly to repair than
the brick.
The brick pavement has stood the
test of durability under Columbia's
traffic. For Columbia's residence
streets, then, it seems really more de-
sirable to have a brick pavement
which is strong and durable. yet
elastic, one which has darkened col
or and surface slightly rougher than
that of cement.
Care must be taken, however, in the
construction of brick pavements. A
contractor should be compelled to
discard every Clipped brick. The
alignment of each course should be
quite straight. The roadbed and foun-
dation should be carefully made, SO
that there will not be sink holes in
the pavement.
With these precautions, brick pave
ment for Columbia streets should
prove an admirable and, in the long
run. an economical public highway in
vestment.

POVERTY AND TUBERCULOSIS

The Red Cross seal campaign in
many ways is commendable. One
statement on a leafiet issued from
headquarters says that tuberculosis
causes poverty" That is true; after
one has the disease. poverty of health
and worldly goods usually follows.
but that is only half truth.
Sociologists have found that poverty
causes tuberculosis. A child in the
country is not apt to acquire that mall
ady nearly as quickly as is a city child
who lives in the slums where poverty
it at It's worst A child of the open
air has the many natural Safeguards
for health. while. the city boys and
girls are crowded in thickly settled
districts, where even the air Is poll
luted with the odors from packing

er factories.
One way of abolishing tuberculosis
is to abolish. and prevent, all poverty.
To cure the disease will reduce pow
erty little, but to reduce poverty, to
make it possible for every human to
breathe wholesome air, eat clean food.
and live In delightful homes, will help
to prevent this plague.
Cure is good. but prevention is bet

A MOTHERS PRAYER.

(By Irene Avery Judson, in Good
Housekeeping
Dear Lord, l would ask for some
thing of thy insight into the hearts OF
my children. Make me quick to COM
prehend their every need. More and
more | realize that they are like deli
cate instruments, responding quickly
and fully to any chords that are touch
ed and | tremble to think what mar
velous power may be mine to summon
to expression the sweetest melodies.
Teach me, o Master and Maker OF
men. to touch always the right chord,
firmly but with gentleness and SYM
pathy, that there may be no strange,
discordant bitterness born in their
souls, no harsh sense of injustice or
misunderstanding; but let all the
tones be pures and joyous, and the
harmony true, a part of that sweet
music that is the gladness of the
world.
Help me guide them unto thee.
Keep them pure, their eyes as guile
less as now, their hands as free from
unclean things, their lips as sweet as
when in babyhood they pressed
against my breast. AS their minds
unfold fill them with pure dreams; let
no thought enter their minds that
they can not share with me.
Guide thou their feet! Into world
of many evil influences they must &c
in time. Let me now, in these early
years, fortify them against UNI
righteousness by making and keepins
the atmosphere of the home pure ant
sweet and strong, and so prepare then
to choose always the safe path at the
forking of the roads.
Amen!

HELPING THE CITY.

That impossible stretch in Belllng'
ham from the point where the Hanne'
gan road ends at the city limits to
the pavement on James Street, dis
lance of one or two miles, will be inn
proved by the county. The commits
sioners have expressed their intention
of spending on James Street 10 per
cent of Bellingham's road and bridge
taxes. The law gives the commits
sioners authority to use that portion
for road and bridge work within the
city limits.
All of which is entirely legal. But
there are plenty of good citizens out
side of Bellingham who cannot see
Just why county money should be used
for this particular street, especially
since Bellingham real estate men and
merchants were the loudest in their
huzzas when the building of the road
was suggested.
Perhaps, an investigation as to just
what group of Bellingham citizens
owned the property along James
Street might explain why the city by
its careful neglect forced the county
to make the move.
