refusal to withdraw from Mexico
meant an intention to do other than
break up Villa bands.
For this reason, the situation as
sumed especial gravity.
Authorities now believe that there
is no way in which to divert CarranZa
from his insistance upon withdrawal
though they hope hereafter he will De
passive, instead Of active in this posi-
ton. The failure to reach a formal
agreement does not actually threaten
that the American expedition will be
blocked. For this reason there was
still hope today that Mexico might
continue to take the situation at least
as calmly as in the past.
Up to Mexico Now.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-With the
FL Paso conference closed and General
Scott ordered home. the administra-
ton today cast upon the Carranza
government the burden of any further
negotiations.
The cabinet threshed out the situa-
ton at length. No reply to Carran'
za's request for withdrawal was plan
ned until Ambassador Arredondo takes
up the question. Even then the an
swer will be as It has been that the
American forces will not quit the VII
la hunt until the border is safe from
further incursions
Officials are not too confident new
terms can be arranged through the re-
spective foreign Offices.
Oregon told Scott plainly that he
could not put into writing any agree
ment that would place the Carranza
government in the light of consentins
to the stay of the American expedi-
ton in Mexico
Officials expressed hope that the
expedition can continue without act
ual molestation from any uncontrolled
Carranza band.

To Make Skin Clear

Don't worry about skin troubles You
can have a clear, clean complexion by
using a little zemo. obtained at any drug
store for 25c, or extra large bottle at
S1.O0.
Zemo easily removes all traces of PIN
pies, black heads, eczema. and ringworm
and makes the skin clear and healthy.
Zerno is neither watery, sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. 1t is easily
applied and costs a mere trifie for each
application. 1t is always dependable.

Possible Violation Of Root Takahira Pact.

II Japan seeks merely an extension OF
extra territorial rights, officials assert
that all other countries under "the most
favored nation" clause may do likewise
That merely would mean that all cases
where a japanese is defendant would
be tried by Japanese court applying
the local Chinese law.
In case the demands are coupled with
"a special rights clause, however. as
previously reported, it is pointed out
that japanese will practically share with
China the administration OF that whole
section to the exclusion Of all other pow.
ers. This probably would be interposed
here as a violation of the status quo as
mutually guaranteed by this country and
Japan in Root Takahira agreement, and
step toward the destruction OF Chinese
integrity.
BY the Root Takahira agreement, Jap.
an and the United States again pledged
the integrity of China, and agreed to
keep each other informed as to any steps
which might change the status quo. The
Japanese position is that the present de-
mands do not threaten the status quo,
and consequently It was not necessary
that the United States be advised in adj
vance.

Are the Years After Fifty the Best or
the Worst?

| When men pass the half-century mark,
they usually regard themselves As going
down hill A writer in the September
American magazine disputes this legend
and says:
"A discovery which | made by talk
| ing with those who were really living
in the later period was that many of
them regarded their experience of life
in the advancing years as the best part
of the whole 1t did not appear on the
surface; it was not any marked sue
cess before the world. and it would not
appeal, perhaps, to those in the earlier
life: but many of those people told
me they felt that they were living the
happiest days of all. There seems to be
a mysterious quality of life in these later
years which is not found in the earlier
part, something that is worth while in
the living of it, and no one has had all
of human life until he has been through
these years and found it.
"Then, and not before. | came back
to the conviction that one who has at
tanned a half century of clean, honest
living, is worthy of congra tulation; that
he ought to pass his tiftieth birthday
without particle of dread as to his
future years, and understand that the
greatest opportunity of his life is yet
before him"

DEATH OF HARLEY H. PROUTY.
Was Brother OF Vermont Ex-Governor
Literally Starved to Death.

Portland. Ore, Sept. l4.-Harley H
Prouty, a brother of g. II. ProutS, for
mer governor of Vermont, has died sud
denly at st. Nincent's hospital in this
city, practically of starvation, on the
even OF his wedding day, his engagement
having been recently announced. Mr..
Prouty was one of the most expert
mountaneers in the United States, and
recently accompanied a mountain-climb-
ing party to the Three Sisters region in
Oregon. As usual, he pursued his hobby
vigorously leading parties to the sum
mits of the various peaks on several PC
casions. He was taken i'll during the
second week and was forced to leave
the camp. At Mckenzie bridge he faint
ed twice, and rapidly thereafter contn
ued to fail Ten days ago he was taken
to st. Vincent's hospital. Death was
due to a complication of stomach and
stunned all food.
Mr.. Prouty was fifty-eight years old,
was born in Newport, Vt, and resided
there until twenty-fiv years ago. The
Prouty family in Vermont is notable
one. Its earlier members fought in the
Revolutionary war, and the family name
has been prominently associated with the
growth of the Green mountain state In

The Best Apple Sauce.

"And we had the best apple sauce,
said young girl, when telling OF visit
to dear old aunt.
wherein did it differ from all Other
apple sauce?" the mother queried quiz
zically For the mother thought she
knew all there was to know about apple
sauce.
well, | don't know said the young
person, but it was the best, and she put
the sugar in before she cooked 1t, and it
was SO different from any other"
1t SO happened that the mother had
occasion to make some apple sauce for
tea, and, not to be outdone by any aunt
lie, however worthy she might be, the
mother also put the sugar in before she
cooked the apple, but the young person
said it wasn't bit like auntle's.
Now / happened to know just how this
auntie really did make her apple sauce,
and will tell you, besides giving you an
other way, too.
Peel tart apples and quarter them;
if very large, cut the quarters once i'll
two. Have two quarts when peeled, and
put them into a granite kettle, pour in
two cups of sugar and set on the back
part of the range, when there Is lire
in it. Let them cook slowly until per-
fectly clear Cover them closely.
| didn't say anything about water?
No, and that is just where the difference
comes in; the apples are cooked in their
own juice, and this combined with the
sugar makes a rich and most delicious
syrup, which will almost jell when cold.
Don't be afraid of their burning to the
kettle, though they will if put over the
hot fire at once; it will not take long for
Juice to exide to cook them, and they may |
