ervation 1t forms point of considerable interest
containing, as it does. three memorial brasses on
the gray stone slab put down in memory of Lau
renee Washington and his family. These brasses
consist Of Laurence washington's efigy. a shield
bearing the Washington arms. and the following
inscription:
Here lyeth buried ye bodys of Laurence Wash
ingto. Gent, & Anne his wyf by whom he had
issue iii sons and u daughts wo laurence Dyed ye

ceased the vi of October ano Dni 1864"
Apparently Laurence Washington. great-great-
great-grandfather of George Washington devised
this monu.lent as a memorial to his wife. leav-
ing the date of his own death blank to be nlled
in after his death. This. however, has never been
done.
Two other records of the washingtons are
found in the village of Brington. In this little
township, not far distant from Northampton,
stands the house to which the family moved from
Sulgrave. 1t was in this house that Robert Wash
ngton died in 1922. and in the yard. engraved
upon a sundial. is found the Washington coat Of
arms
In the Church of All Saints. near at hand. where
Robert Washington Is buried. an Inscription reads

Laurence Washington, grandson of the Lau-
renee of Sugrave died in 1916. and is also buried
here.
Unfortunately little of the village of Sulgravc
as 1t was in the days of the Washingtons now re.
mains A disastrous fire in 1875 swept the vii.
lage and only a relic may be seen here and there
in an ancient house Most of the streets set
with neat brick houses. Coming toward the
Church of All Saints. one might fancy oneself in
the business center of some minor New England
CITY, but with rather less of glare and noise. and
the community held in certain allegiance by the
presence of the old church.
In dedicating the manor memorial to the
peaceful relations existing between the two great
English h-speaking nations during a century. the
British committee has created permanent me-
mortal of permanent interest.

Beef Essence.

Remove the fat from a slice of steak
from the top of the round. cut three
quarters inch thick, broil over a clear
fire three or four minutes. turning
often; heat the broiler to prevent the
steak from adhering, as any sugges-
ton of grease must be avoided; re-
move to a warm plate, cut into 11s-
inch squares. cash on both sides. and
with a lemon squeezer extract the
juices; season with salt. This is nu.
tritious and extremely palatable. Often
desirable, given in small quantities.
where a condensed form of food is de-
sired.

New Troubles in Mexico

Nj EW disorders in Mexico attacks by
bandits on ranch this side the border
and rumors of Il widely organized movement
to place Felix Diaz in the presidency of the
distracted republic. add to the already suf-
icient reasons why American troops should
uot be withdrawn at this juncture.
Threats against Americans. attacks on
American property and vacant cpnsulates
evidences that the spread of anti-American
sentiment is being fostered carefully-in all
probability a" part of the DiaZ campatgn-
make ii uncomfortable that President Wilson
will yield to CarranZas latest demand The
right answer has been made in the dispatch
OF additional troops to the border and the
redoubling OF American vigilance TO prevent
an attack General Pershings advanced
columns
1t seems impossible for an American mind
some thousands of miles away to compre-
bend the operations OF the Mexican mind
TO ne il is so apparent that Carranza's one
hope as we'll for his own political ambitions
as for the good of his country, is in the con-
tinucd friendship OF the United States that
lis failure to cooperate whole-heartedly
with the American expeditionary forces is an
absolute mystery. We cannot fathom il Mt
all. 1t begins to nourish suspicious that
the Mexicans unfit for self-government
that they have no real desire for the restora-
ton OF peace and order, and that they prefer
as Offering opportunities for existence with
out toll and looting without legal punish
ment. the conditions of brigandage into which
for four years Mexico has been plunged
Surely the President has an almost infinite
patience. man of another temperament
would have ended this uncertainty and
checked this display Of ngratitude long ago
true. he would have sacrificed whatever hone
there is OF Mexican progress to decent gov
crnmeni. the growing friendship of all Latin
America and some tens or hundreds of thou
sands OF American lives, not to speak Of a
few billions OF dollars, but there would have
been voices aplenty to acclaim his interven-
ton and declare it had ample warrant
the pctulant mouthings OF old CarranZ,
ana his satellites are hard to endure, even
though they are like the complaints of an
irritable child. The difference is that in their
influence on the gringo hating elements Of the
Mexican population they spell danger 1t is
impossible to think of yielding to them for
many reasons, but one reason that should
nave large weight is that acquiescence would
be taken as a confession of weakness and
become the signal for more bandit uprisings
and midnight assassnations
1t is difficult role President Wilson must
play. but we have confidence he will measure
up to il. If peace with honor may be pre-
served, IL Will be; if we undertake the bur-
den of intervention, with all its dreadful cost,
IL VIII be when other means of solving the
Mexican problem have been tried and have
