WASHINGTON, May 11.-Amer-
leans all throughout Mexico are
being warned 10 leave that country
at once. Sec'y of state Lansing to-
day made it plain that the orders to
American consuls to urge their
countrymen TO return Immediately
TO the United States were not con-
fined TO any particular localities. He
said that the orders were issued TO
consuls everywhere in Mexico.
officials today for the most part
maintained a silence on Mexican
developments. It was stated that
everything hinges on the result OF
the conference today at FL Paso
between Gems Obregon and Scott.
Ambassador Sees Lansing.
Eliseo ArredondO, ambassador
designate of the de facto govern
ment, called on Sec'y Lansing today
for a general discussion of the sit
uation. He was with the secretary
about 20 minutes.
Upon leaving the state depart
ment Mr.. Arredondo said that the
de facto government is still insisting
upon some agreement being reach
ed for the withdrawal Of the Ameri-
can troops and the joint patrolling
of the border by Mexican and Amer
lean troops. He refused to give any
intimation of what Sec'y Lansing
had told him. Sec'y Lansing de-
clined 10 discuss it.
Prepare to Protect Border.
Elaborate preparations have been
made for the protection Of all vital
points along the Mexican border if
the break with Carranza. which
most officials consider almost GER
tain. comes. 1t again was stated
officially today that the United
States will not recede from its pO-
sition, but Will keep all Of the
troops now in northern Mexico
there until Francisco Villa is killed
or captured. Many officials here
feared that an open break between
Gen. Scott and Mexican Minister Of
War ObregOn would come today.
Others. however, believed that at the
last moment, ObregOn would decide
to ratify the tentative agreement
that an open break would be defer
red for the present.
Warn Americans Out.
Meanwhile the agents Of the state
department are doing their best TO
get all Americans out of Mexico. 1t
is considered certain that in the
event of complete Intervention no
effort would be made by Garranza
TO protect the citizens Of this cOun-
try. All of the confidential advices
reaching this city agree that the
general situation throughout Mex
leo is getting worse, and that hun
dreds Of people are dying Of disease
and starvation The government is
unable to meet it's current obliga-
tons and even the soldiers are not
being paid.
The war department has all plans
perfected for calling out the entire
national guard OF the country if the
necessity arises. The quartermaster's
department Is in touch with the
railroad companies and at certain
points equipment is being held in
readiness for the emergency when
IL arises.

But Thursday morning when

Now the city clerk and others are
wondering what viii happen. Pinney

became friendly with some of the
neighbOrs. whom the father disliked
extremely. This made the father
angry and he finally ordered his son
to move out of the property.
Refused to- Go.
The boy had obtained a deed to
the property and refused TO go.
Shortly thereafter. according 10 Gar
rctt Fox. investigator for the state
fire marshal Coan. ST.. sent his wife
20 Corydon 10 remain there with her
sister for a time.
one night some barns Of one of
the neighbors OF COan were discOv-
cred on fire. The barns were a long
distance from Coan's home Be
tween the home and the barns were
other residences of neighbors. The
residence OF the son was very close
&C. that of the elder Coan.
That same night someone threw a
gallon Jug of gasoline into the open
window Of one of the neighbor's
homes, between Coan's residence and
the burning barns a short time later

Brier Patch. There is never any
one there at night. won't be gone
long. | just want to see what Is
growing there. There isn't any
harm in just looking is there?"
or course, little Mrs. Peter
couldn't say that there was any
harm in just looking. and so Peter
went, although he knew that she
didn't approve of 1t at all. He
reached the garden without any ad
venture and once there he quite for
got that he had come simply to
look. Almost the first thing he
found was bed OF tender lettuce
Peter just loves lettuce. For the
life of him he couldn't resist the
temptation to sample one OF those
crisp leaves. Farmer Brown would
never miss one leaf First he took
nibble, then he took a bite. My,
how good II tasted? In two min
utes Pete: had quite forgotten that
he was where he had no business
to be and that that lettuce didn't
belong TO him. If he had been con-
tent TO eat one or two plants II
wouldn't have been so bad, but he
wasn't. Good as that first lettuce
plant was, he wondered II the next
one to 1t wouldn't be better, so ne
sampled that before he had finished
the first one. Then he tried another
and another. Each tasted better
than the last. At least Peter
thought II did So he went on spoil
ing great many plants when two
or three would have quite filled his
stomach IL he had eaten them all.
Then he spied a long row OF car
rots and ate the tops from some OF
these. After that he sampled a few
young bean plants and so finally he
came to where the young cabbage
plants were growing. BY this time
Peters stomach could hold very
little more. and so he ate only q
few OF the tenderest cabbage leaves.
Then he remembered that he had
come only to look and with a guilty
feeling he started for the dear Old
Brier Patch. He had been In mis-.
chief, the very worst kind of mis-.
chief, and he knew II. But no one
had seen him, and SO, | am sorry 10
say. he didn't feel as badly about
1t as he ought to have. In fact
Peter was already planning 10 visit
that garden the very next night.
