Washington, June 3.-Secretary
Garrison says that no war" prepara-

the German or Mexican situations and
that all present movements are Of q
routine nature.
The president will stand pat, prepar-
ed for anything In Mexico, but the
presidents hand may be forced sooner
than it was expected as result of the
disquieting reports of Americans slain
at Tampico. 1t is hoped. however.
that the recognition plan win succeed.
Foreign nations have been taken
into the confidence OF the United
States, and those European diplomat
lists who would express themselves in
dicated their approval of the plan that
is being pursued by the United States.
In South American circles it was de-
clared Wednesdays statement was a
logical development of the mediation
conference at Niagara Falls when the
United States. together with Argen-
tine, Brazil and Chile. signed a pro-
tocol agreeing to recognize the gov
ernment set up by agreement of ths
factions.
The effect of the statement here
was to start a variety OF speculation
as to what the American government
meant by lending "its active moral
support to some man or group of men.
If such may be found. in an effort to
see If they cannot unite the warning

United States hitherto had maintained
neutrality as between the factions. but
now was preparing to choose between
them or to give its support to those
elements in the existing factions
which gaze most promise OF success.
An embargo on arms and the cutting
off of other means of support in the
United States would be put into opera
tion to assist the chosen elements as
against those who ignored the Amer

While details of the governments
policy are not yet available it was

You've never seen such boy. He Is
always going to COvington with some
girl to see that she gets the right train
home But why are we wasting time
here when We might be doing few
holes before lunch? I'll take you on.
OF course, you understand I'm a
wretched player. but I've got one vir-
tue: never talk about my game and
| never tell funny stories while my
opponent is addressing the ball, I'm
an old duffer at the game. but I've got
more sense than most buffers"
We sauntered down to the club
house. where he insisted on buying me
a dozen golf balls and engaging a
caddy for me by the week. Up to the
moment we stepped UP to the first tee
he talked necessarily of Aline and
Rosemary but the instant the game
was on he settled into the grim reserve
that characteriZes the man who takes
any enterprise seriously be it work or
play.
l shall not discuss our game further
than to say that he played in atrocious-
ly bad form. but with a purpose that

he was little off his game and that

smile was polite. but ironic, and it
was not long before l realized that he
knew his own game too well to be af-
fected by cajolery. He just pegged
away, always playing the odd or worse,
uncomplaining. unresentful. as even
tempered as the May wind, and never
by any chance winning hole from
me. He was the rarest 'duffer" 1t has
ever been my good fortune to meet.
The star-independent. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1904-1917, 1915-05-28

A S rule, the poorer the player
A the louder his execrat tions. JAS
A IA per Titus was one OF the worst
players I've ever seen, but DO
was the personiication of gentility
even under the most provoking circun-
stances. For instance, at the famous
Crater" it was my good fortune to
pitch ball fairly on the green from
the tee. His mashie shot landed his
ball about twenty feet up the steep Hill
which guards the green. 1t rolled half
way back. Without word of disgust
or so much as a scowl he climbed up
and blazed away ut it again, not once,
but fourteen times by actual count.
On the seventeenth stroke he triumph
antly laid his ball on the green. Most
men would have lifted and conceded
the hole to me. He played it out.
"a man never gets anywhere. Mr..
Smart" said he, unruf11ed by his mis-
cradle exhibition, unless he keeps
plugging away at thing. That's my
principle in life. Keep at 1t. There is
satisfaction in putting the blamed ball
in the hole, even if it does require
twenty strokes You did it In three,
but you'll soon forget the feat. I'm not
likely to forget the troubles l had 60
ing down in twenty, and there lies the
secret of success. If success comes
easy we pass 1t off with a laugh: If it
comes hard we grit our teeth and re-
member the ways and means. You
may not believe it, but 1 took thirty
three strokes for that hole one day last
week. Day before yesterday did it in
foar. Perhaps it wouldn't occur to you
to think that it's darned sight easier
to do it in four than it Is In thirty
three. Get the idea?"
II think I do. Mr.. Titus" said /.
"The things that come easy are never
appreciated
Right, my boy. It's what we have
to work for like nailers that we lie
awake thinking about"
We came out upon the eminence
overlooking the next hole, which lay
far below us. AS / stopped to tee up
my ball a gleeful shout came up the
hillside.
Hello, John Bellamyr
Glancing down, | saw Jasper Junior
at the edge of the wagon road. He was
waving his cap, and even at that dis.
tance l could see the radiance in his
