SOON BRING BOYS
OUT OF MEXICO

Washington, July 6,--The Ameri-
can punitive expedition will not with
draw from Mexico merely on the
strength OF Carranxa's friendly note.
Il was officially learned today. In
dications were. however. that the
document paved the way for a dis
ousslon which ultimately may end In
withdrawal and the establishment OF
border patrols by both countries. Any
withdrawal Is contingent upon Car
ranza's demonstration OF ability to
police northern Mexico.
II Is probable Secretary Lansing
will begin work at once on the reply
to carranra. Possibly he win have
Il ready TO present TO the cabinet TO-.
morrow before he leaves for a
months vacation.
What the reply will embody was
gone over thoroughly by the president
and Lansing during 4 46-minute talk.
No inkling OF its contents. however.
could be learned. Asked n II would
request more specific details from
Carranxa as TO his plan of co.
operation with the United States In
working out solution OF the border
difficulties. Lansing said he was un-
able to discuss any feature OF the
reply.
Mexican Foreign Minister Aguiiar
today issued a statement to the Mex.
lean people. saying the government
expected completely satisfactory
settlement Of tho Misunderstanding
with the United States"
Secretary Lansing conferred with
President Wilson regarding the Mex
lean note today.
carranxa's communication was
characterized rs leaving the door
open for an aniicabie arrangement for
the two nations. but officials had not
entirely mapped out what course they
would pursue In dealing with the
problem.
The fact that Carranza did not dis
avow orders to General Trevino to Are
on United States troops left q real
issue. but ofYicials view his reply as In
q desire to clean the slate
and start anew.
In the absence OF Lansing. who
starts his vacation tomorrow. Coun-
selor Frank Polk will handle what
ever negotiations are undertaken.
While mediation Is not altogether out
OF the question. direct dealings be-
tween Polk and Ambassador Are.
dondo Is the probable administration
course.

KAISER ARRIVES
At SOMME FRONT

London. July 6.-The kaiser Is re-
ported to have arrived on the Somme
front, accompanied by members OF
his general stan. who win direct the
defense of the German lines against
the great allied offensive.
An Amsterdam dispatch today re-
ported the kaiser's arrival and said
he had established headquarters near
the front not far from Cambria and
opposite the British front.
Great bodies OF German troops are
being msssed between the Ancre and
the Somme to stem the British ad-
vance. Allied flyers report the con-
slant arrival OF troop trains and Hol-
land dispatches today confirmed re-
ports Of heavy concentrations behind
the British lines from Ypres to the
Somme.
There Is every Indication that the
Germans will launch q very heavy
counter-onensive against the British
lines within 72 hours. The object
will be not only to stihe the British
offensive but to prevent a farther ad-
vance by the French, who can not
continue the drive eastward II the
British lines on their left are bent
back.
The German blow may fall any
where along the British front.
All dispatches from Berlin today
emphasized the kaiser's determine
tion to halt the British early IN the
attack at all costs. The German news
papers. paying scant attention to the
French successes south Of the Somme,
express elation over the claim that the
momentum OF the British advance has
been checked. The more sober
minded German critics. however, give
warning that the battle Is only be-
ginning and that regardless Of any
checks administered to the allies the
attack will continue.

A Mean ADVANTAGE.

In a breach Of promise case the bar
rister who held the brief for injured
beauty arranged that his fair client
should be so placed that her charms
should be well under the observation
OF the jury. He began a most pathetic
appeal by directing their attention to
her beauty and calling for justice upon
the head of him who could wound the
heart and betray the confidence of one
so fair, concluding with a peroration
of such pathos as to melt the court
to tears. The counsel for the de-
PENDANT then rose. and after paying
the lady the compliment of admitting
that 1t was impossible not to assent
to the encomiums lavished upon her
face he added that nevertheless he
felt bound to ask the jury not to for
get that she wore a wooden leg. Then
he sat down. The important fact, Of
which the fair plaintiffs counsel was
unaware, was presently established
and the jury, feeling rather sheepish
at their tears, assessed damages at
the smallest amount.

AS A MAN THINKETH.

The power to think and to reason
according to logical processes is the
prime difference between man and
the lower animals. In his power Of
receptivity to ideas and his ability
to retain them and make them his
own man is touched with divinity.
1t is the supreme gift Of creation.
Further than this. the use or misuse
of this great faculty draws the d.
viding line between mans efficiency
and his inefficiency, between his hap
piness and his misery. Without a
mind by which the events Of life may
De placed in orderly succession man
is practically helpless and is likewise
unable to take his proper place among
his fellow men. With a mind to rea-
son, men are properly graded by the
use they make of their opportunities
Thinking, reasoning. Is a prerogative
as we'll as a duty. 1t is also an insid-
ious danger or. IL neglected, a peril
to all earthly usefulness Solomon
rightly assumed the significance Of
the whole matter when he declared
that "as a man thinketh in his head
30 Is he" But thought must be fed.
Those things which come to us In life
through the receptive faculties and
the thousand and one happenings of
association and observation color the
thought and give direction to the
ideas that are formulated In the mind.
To close our eyes or resist the infiu-
ences OF the life around US Is TO be.
come mentally atrophied. To refuse
to think of these things at all or to be
unmoved or uninterested in them is to
proclaim our imbecility.
