Memorial pay MESSAGE.

Three years ago under hot skies a
few thousand white-haired old men
met on the grass-grown battlefield of
Gettysburg to celebrate peace that
had endured for almost fifty years.
They were men who had fought each
other long and hard for what they be-
lieved right; through time of strife
and hatreds that seemed implacable,
through fire and blood and death, they
had lived to see peace come back to
the world. 1t is commonplace enough
reflection, perhaps, but it comes back
with a good deal of force this Memo
rial day, 1916. Peace comes back to
the world: hatreds die.

III-FeeIlnu FORGOTTEN,

There were many men in 81 who did
not believe that the hatreds which en-
gendered the Civil war could ever die.
There could be no peace. They lived to
see the thing they believed impossible.
They lived to see the South risen to
new greatness. They saw a nation
shaken by war emerge stronger than it
had ever beer

Seeks Always to Improve.

Real believers are always thinking
they believe not, therefore they are
fighting, wrestling, striving and toiling
without ceasing to preserve and in
crease their faith; just as good and
skillful masters of any art are always
seeing and observing that something
is lacking in their work. whilst bun
glers and pretenders persuade them
selves that they lack nothing, but that
all they make and do is quite perfect.

OUR PATHWAYS ARE WHAT WI
MAKE THEM.

Across the pathways of our natures
sweep,
Whole caravans of love or hate,
That rising like a phalanx from the
deep
Bled goodness, or unrest create.
Great minds that see the ever trailing
dust
Can read the message in the sand,
And stunning onward past the lust,
Reap blessings from the magic of the
wand.
But souls whose judgment e'er be-
smirched in sin,
Lead forth their temple in malignant
quest,
Are slowly deep corroding far within,
And crushing all in life's that best.
When down the pathway of this life
you walk,
Unbend and speak but kindly of your
neighbor,
Let not your caravan be just idle talk,
But one of truth and love and labor.

XXIAsHINGTON, April 14.-The

WAsHINGToN, April 14.-The
w United States is prepared to
treat with General CarranZa as pro-
posed in his note of yesterday for the
withdrawal OF American troops from
Mexico. Pending the outcome of the
diplomatic negotiations. however. the
status of the expedition will remain
continue.
This was the situation as officially
stated today after President Wilson
and his cabinet had considered the
new phases of the Mexican problem
raised by General Carranza's COM
munication. Secretary Lansing said
he was prepared to take up the mat
ter with the de facto government but
would not indicate when a reply
might he sent Secretary Baker said
no new orders had been sent to Gen
eral Funston and that mono were
under contemplation
Both secretaries said there had
been no change in the policy of the
administration which prompted the
pursuit of villa.
From other sources it was learned
that the success Of the Carranza gov
ernment in demonstrating its inten-
ton and ability to continue the pur-
suit and determination of the bandits
should American forces be recalled,
would weigh heavily with President
Wilson in reaching final decision.
In that connection an official report
from the commander of the American
forces attacked at Parral, Mexico, by
civilians is anxiously awaited. Gen
eral Carranzas information trans
mitted yesterday was that his soldiers
