PLEASING lPYTHlAN

Under the heading of Pleasing Pythian' C. R. Bernetzke, writing for The Pythian Star for March, says:
 Grand Vice Chancellor Tom M. Smith, of Phoenix, is one of the fore most Pythian boosters in the Domain of Arizona. and is numbered among the veteran Pythian Knights all though he is still a husky young looking bird. He was admitted to ihe order in 1888, to Van Vert lodge 130, at Van Vert, Ohio; became a. past chancellor January s. 1892, and transferred to Phoenix Lodge No. in January. 1907, and has been an active member in the Pythian ranks ever since coming to Southern Ari- zona. He assisted in building mp. Phoenix Lodge No. , from l50 to the four hundred mark, and was elected grand vice chancellor of the Grand Lodge of Arizona, october II, 1914
 He has gentle and pleasing dis position which our Creator has so richly blessed him. he has a smile and sincere greeting for all, no mat ter WHtTe yOu Itet HlIll, WHICH makes him many friends and holds them. He is the sunshine of phOc- nix Lodge No. 2. and held the trns- teeshp for several terms. Brother Knight James G. owens of Los An seles, says: Every time l come .o Phoenix Lodge l can't but help see that everlasting smiling face of Knight smith, and that royal courtC- ous greeting is an inspiration to me because l know it comes from the heart, but the beauty is, it never wears off, which should be an ex ample to the rest of we Knights of Pythias."
 Grand Vice Chancellor Smith has contributed many link to that end less chain of memories written upon the golden pages of Pythian history, which We trust will never break. His motto is to leave this world a little better than he found it; wheth CT by an improved poppy, perfect poem or rescued soul He is all ways looking for the best in others and gives the best he has whose fife is an inspiration and whose memory will be a benediction in the Arizona Pythian ranks and with those whom he came and comes in contact.

U. s. OFFICIALS DISAPPOINTED
When Germany's Evasive Answer
Fails to Suggest Any Plan
for Settlement.

Washington. II Germany's reply to
the American note concerning the
sinking of the Lusitania with a loss of
more than 100 American lives pro-
iuced a feeling of profound disappoint-
ment here. Dissatisfaction at the fail
ure of Germany to answer the de-
mands OF the United States was re-
flectec in government circles gener.
ally. President Wilson had retired
early-before the text arrived-but
from a reading of the summary and
Ambassador Gerard's forecast, he had
en- accurate impression of what it con-
tanned.
This is expected to give the Ameri-
can governments understanding Of
the facts-that the Lusitania was un-
armed and carried no concealed guns,
that she sailed from the United States
a peaceful merchantmen and that un-
der all rules of international law and
humanity the vessel should have been
visited and searched and her passen-
gers transferred to place Of safety,
whether carrying ammunition or not.

DARK HORSE FOR PRESIDENT.
Presidents Statement Sent to Villa,
Carranza, Zapata and Gaia.

Carranza, Zapata and Gaia.
Washington, June 3.-In his state
ment to the American people. Presi-
dent Wilson served notice on the fac
tional leaders of Mexico that unless
within "a very short time" they unite
to set up a government which the
world can recognize, the United States
will be constrained to decide what
means should be employed by the
United States in order to help Mexico
save herself and serve her people,"
Signalling change from the
"watchful waiting" policy, which has
guided relations with Mexico for more
than two years. the Presidents state
ment was regarded everywhere in Of
ficial and diplomatic quarters as no.
tice of a new and vigorous policy to
restore peace below the Rio Grande.
Everywhere 1t was interpreted as a
warning that the patience of the
United States is exhausted. What
steps the President is prepared to
take II this warning goes unheeded
are not disclosed in the statement. In
high official quarters, nevertheless, no
doubt existed that he is prepared to
proceed
That the United States will have to
select Mexico's "man of iron" was the
opinion expressed by the officials
here most familiar with the situation
south of the Rio Grande.
Not only in official quarters, but
among diplomats familiar with the am
bitions of the men now in the saddle
in Mexico. did this belief find utter
ance. They declared that under the
words of the President himself there
is nothing left for him to do If the
factions prove obdurate, but TO Sc
lect man or men who will lead Mex.
ico's millions into prosperous condi'
tions.

JAGOw.

American law does not prohibit am.
munition from being carried on pas
senger ships. 1t will be asserted, but
only self-exploding material. and liners
in the past have been permitted to
carry arms and ammunition. by spe-
cial ruling of the State Department on
the meaning Of federal statutes
Germany's failure even to discuss
the reparation demanded by the
American note. and evasion of the
request that guarantees be given that
American vessels and lives be not en-
dangered in the future are the main
points, however, which the United
States government was generally be-
lieved would refer in the second note.
The expressions of regret and Of
fers of reparation for unintentional
attacks on neutral ships are expect
ed to have little weight in determin-
ing the nature of the response OF the
United States.
Persons close to President Wilson
have learned that he is determined to
obtain reparation for the Lusitania
victims and assurances of respect for
American rights in future. and that,
failing this, he would not hesitate to
sever diplomatic relations with Ger
many.

Aviators. Safety Paraehutes.

The energies of practically all the
inventors of parachutes for airmen
have been directed towards the devel-
opment of a device for the airman
alone, the aeroplane itself being al
lowed to drop to earth unhindered.
Parachutes for the whole aeroplane
have just been designed by French
inventor. Two folded parachutes. con-
tained in cone-shaped receptacles, are
attached to the wings as near the ends
as possible. BY means Of simple
mechanism. operated by the movement
of a small hand lever. these para
chutes are pushed out of the contain
ers. after which they are claimed to
open freely. no matter in what man
ner the aeroplane may be falling. All
the airman has to do is to hang on to

During the week ending June 1,
cold weather prevailed in Colorado,
the average daily temperature being
several degrees below the seasonal

too wet for cultivation. The sunshine

the deficiency was nearly SO per cent.
The week, as a whole, was unfavora-
