their ability to control tae : II
in northern Mexico while American
troops remain there for the time be
ing.
Secretary of War Baker explained
the nature of the informal understand
ing to President Wilson and the cabi
net as part OF General SCOTS rep T
on his conference with General Obre
gon at Ell Paso, Texas. After the CAB
met meeting it was reiterated that ne
armed intervention is in prospect anc
that the situation apparently is i'm
proving.
Information laid before the cabine'
was to the effect that the Carranz
government is making Roadway in con
trolling the country and in estab ish
ing civil government and is becoming
stronger.
The net result OF the conferences
it was stated, has been 10 convince The
CarranZa government that the United
States has no other purpose in its
operations in Northern Mexico thar
to stamp out brigandage. and as {
consequence there exists the under
standing that the CarranZa forces
shall demonstrate their ability tt
handle the situation as the necessary
first step toward withdrawal Of the
American punitive expedition.
General Scott believes General Oh
RECON is acting in good faith, and thai
the border situation is less critical
so far as the American government l.
concerned.
To carry out his share Of the plans
Obregon has agreed to occupy and po
lice the Parral district, scou ing the
mountain regions west of that tow
for the remnants of Villas followers
He also agreed to establish a strong
patrol line along the Mexican si!e o.
the Big Bend country to prevent in
cursions such as that at Glenn Springs
and Bouquillas, Texas.
For that purpose he has ordered in
to those regions 10000 troops under
General Trevino. Advices to the wal
and state departments indicate the
movements are being carried ou
promptly.
Another important feature is tina
Obregon has agreed not to bring Car
rama troops in Sonora through Pui
pit Pass into the rear of Brigad e.
General John J. Pershing's force s.
On their side, General Frederick
Funston assured Obregon that precau
tons would be taken by Americ al
commanders not to dispose the
forces so as to embarrass the opera
ton of the Mexican troops, and alst
that the border patrol on the Ameri
can side would be strengthened.

TWO GREAT PHRASES.
Which One of Them Is 1t That You
Are In the Habit of Usinaf

Did you ever reckon how many times
a day you say Il can't" or hear it
said?
Probably much shorter stunt would
be to count the number of times you
hear or say, Il will"
These two sentences contain the
whole story of character. They are
the metal from which men shape sue
cess or failure.
We hammer and forge this metal
daily.
With 81 can't we cast a weight
which fastens us down. With 81 will
we shape a marvellous spring which
some day lands us at the height of
our ambition.
After awhile we cannot move the
weight at al, but in the end we can
not resist the spring. 1t raises us In
spite of ourselves. for II will has be-
come a habit.
Sometimes man who has weighted
himself down by repeating Il can't
says obviously Nothing succeeds like
success" And this IS true. but he for
gets that back of the first success was
an II will and then another and then
another.
81 can't" Il will There are the
two most important sentences in any
mans vocabulary.
Would we not better reverse the
number of times most Of us use them
every day?-Illinois State Journal.

New York, May 17.-An appeal tC

which funds would be raised for war
sufferers through collections taken IN
churches throughout the country, was
mailed to 100000 American ministers
by the federal council OF the Churches
Of Christ in America.

appeal says, that the public senti-

Funds raised on May IS will be sent

The needs for funds are described
in the appeal as immediate, Spp iliing
and increasing" Some of these are
classified as follows:

virtually destitute and S5,000,000 is
needed at once.
"In northern France more than
100000 persons are critically in need
These include $4,000 children who
are refugees. The distress is dec!ar
ed to be even more extensive than III
Belgium.
in Serbia 5000 900 persons have
been deprived of their living and OF
chance to make it, and there are
thousands of Serbians destitute in
France.
In Poland there are 100000
homeless wandering peasants, mostly
women and children, of whom $780,
600 are in condition of starvation,
Nth certain death facing them. unless
relief comes speedily
In east Prussia thousands have
been driven from their homes and de
prived of their livelihood, and the suf
fering is severe.
"In Armenia, only relief given by
Americans, it is stated, will thwart
the destruction Of a race. There are
100000 refugees in Armenia and 800,
900 in Turkey.
"a one dollar per member offering
for this great cause would not seem
an unreasonable self-sacrifce," says
the council appeal. Yet such a
total would mean incalculable help to
