SITUATION HELPED
BY FREEING TROOPERS

Washington, June 30.-Despite the
fact that General Carranza has yield.
ed TO President Wilson's demand and
released the twenty-four United States
soldiers held prisoners at Chihuahua
since the Carrizal battle the situation
is still considered critical, although
danger of immediate hostilities has
been averted
Just how fully the Mexican crisis
has been modified will not be known
until the text of President Carranza's
reply to President Wilson's demand
for release reaches here.
The president wishes to know what
the first chiefs attitude is to be in
the future, his explanation of the Car
rizal fight and whether his intentions
embody cooperation with the Ameri-
can forces in Mexico or opposition.
The president Is even willing to go
more than half way to meet the first
chief
There is no question the recent
crisis has served to retard rather than
increase any hope President Carran-
ga may have had for an immediate
withdrawal of American forces from
Mexico. This will not be done under
any circumstances at present.
As far as the present is concerned,
administration officials are not op-
timistic. The recent release from
prison of former Villa commanders to
take commands in President Carran-
Ea's army, the strong antagonism to
Americans in Mexico and finally the
reports that General Obregon and 9TH
ers of President Carranzas officers
are attempting to undermine him offer
gloomy background to the whole
Mexican picture.

A GOOD BEGINNING

" Senator Harding had no difficulty in
filling the time allotted to him for his
opening speech as temporary chairman of
the Chicago convention.
His remarks may be divided into three
heads. First, he dwelt on the importance
of harmony. and declared that the will of
a righteous majority must be the willing
pledge OF all. Then he set forth the policy
of Republicanism as the policy under
which the nation has prospered. Finally,
he arraigned the Democracy for its fail
ures.
The campaign VIII be fought on the
issues OF the failure of the Democracy

A Mystery of Moles

Editor Of "What Do you RnoD"-I would
like some information on where a mole
comes from; for, although we see its ridge
in the fields. we never see the hole where
1t goes under the ground. G.B.L
When in pursuit of earthworms. which
are their principal source of nutriment,
moles often travel long distances under
ground. and frequently so near the surface
that the earth becomes raised above the
tunnel which they make. These are the
ridges you have seen. The mole has not
entered or left the ground at one end of
the ridge, as one would naturally suppose,
but at some distant place. Evidently, near
the spot where they enter and leave the
earth, the tunnel is farther below the sur
face than when they are on hunting expe-
ditions. and, as the mole is a small ami
mai. this hole is not large enough to at
tract attention.
