What lies beyond this. officials
will not discuss, The program of
possible action was taken up by the
cabinet today, II Is understood
that in the event OF Carranza's re-
fusal 10 release them. President Will
son will ask congress 10 permit his
use OF the armed forces OF the
United States 10 get the prisoners.
The first CHIEFS attitude could
only be contectured The gIiesses
In Official quarters were that he
would he none too conciliatory and
that he might force trouble. At any
rate, cabinet members said, his an
swer is the determining element in
the situation rather than the indi-
cation that perhaps American forces
were partly provocative OF the Car
rial battle
Carranza's refusal to release the
American prisoners In chihuahua
City. or an unfriendly statement OF
attitude toward future relations with
tho United States doubtless would
cause immediate visitation OF the
"gravest consequence" with which
President Wilson threatened him.
On the other hand. compliance
with the demands would smooth out
the troublous situation.
President Wilson Is anxious TO
avoid trouble with the de facto gov
eminent II he can do so honorably.
In this feeling he has the support
OF the nation, administration men
said today.
''In other difficulties there has
been a great national upheaval for
war" said an army man today. In
this one, however, the nation has
no war spirit. There Is no upheaval
and IL the president can avoid
war he will have the country be-
hind him"
Secretary OF War Baker reported
his supplemental order cutting red
tape and permitting National
Guardsmen 20 move more rapidly
toward the border. His documents
showed mobilization and troop
movements satisfactory.
Secretary OF State Lansing's re-
port on rejection OF the Bolivian
mediation offer was approved, with
he added decision that the Mexican
problem for the present. at least, is
beyond the mediation stage.

his hand, as though there was some
understood bargain between them, and
winked and even chuokled with lu-
dicrous solemnity.
"And now, young man, to shoulder
the stately forest AK and work for a
living!" he said.
The town was agog the next morn
ing as Vance Dale, wearing hickory
shirt and bearing an ak over his sturdy
shoulder, started ito work" Mr.. Dale
owned a pasture lot, at one end GOV.
cred by thick grove Of trees. These
were to be sacrificed for their value as
fuel.
Shades were raised, curtains were
drawn aside, doors were opened a
crack. Feminine Wareham stared and
marveled. The fastidious, cultured.
luxury-reared Vance was compelled to
work like a common laborer! The
Dales had become poor! They were
no longer the society leaders of the
place! The cold shoulder of the
world was voted.
There were three houses that Dale
passed which were of peculiar inter
est to him. Since he had come back
from college he had been attracted by
three young ladies of the town. His
father encouraged him In preparing
the way to choose wife. Eunice VIII
lard was the most graceful, or rather
majestic, young lady in the place. She
had seemed to him the ideal Of wom-
anhood. AS he neared her home Vance
saw her coming down the street. She
noticed him, paused and quickly re-
turned to the house.
"A cut-a snub!" rather bitterly So
liloQuized Vance. IAN right-father
said she was fair-weather friend"
His face grew brighter as he looked
towards the home Of Kitty Darling.
She was a sweet, kittenish piece Of
humanity. She came bounding out to
the rustic gate, piquant and eager.
His heart warmed towards her.
"Oh, dear Mr.. Vance!" she prattled.
Il have cried half the night over the
great misfortune of your poverty that
has come to you. But | shall always
be your friend, for it was you who In
troduced me to dear Aleck Wayne,
and we became engaged last night
"Um!" almost growled Dale, as he
