UNCLE SAM.

Edgar A. Guest, in Detroit Free Press.
He is a patient kindly cuss,
And fond of fun and laughter,
He is not quick to make fuss,
The joy Of life he's after.
He likes to plod along his way
Attending to his labors
And have but pleasant things to say
To all who are his neighbors,
He Is not quick to take onense-
His greatest trait is common sense
He does not want to own the earth
Nor grab the land of others $3.50
He thinks the God that gave US partn
Made human beings brothers
Although he can be dignifed,
His preference Is for plainness
And for the sham of foolish pride
He substitutes real saneness.
He merely wants to play LIES game
And let all others do the same.
The kids can maui him round about
And tug his whiskers gayly
And kick his silk hat inside out
And search his pockets daily.
And as their uncle he Will grin
And think the fun is splendid,
But let bully buster in
His patience then is ended
And when the fuss he makes is through
The bully knows thing or two,
He doesn't care what creed we speak,
Or what our hobbies may be,
He thinks the strong should guara tne
weak
As parents guard baby.
He doesn't fight for every whim
Nor fume about trihe,
But when injustice angers him
He's apt to grab his rifle. 49,.
And when he starts to set things righN
He is a dangerous man to night
He isn't CARRIED in robes Of sham.
But plain and good his raiment
Whoever trusts our Uncle sam
Will find him prompt in payment
He wants to mind his own affairs
And simply do his duty,
And find amid the thorns and tares
OF life the blooms of beauty.
oh, very proud, indeed l am,
To tell my love for Uncle Sam,

Reply to Carranza
Will Rebuke Him
For Tone of Note

Washington, June l4.-The United
States answer to the last note from
General Carranza probably will not be
made until after the St. Louis con-
vention ends this week, it was said in
administration circles today. The de-
lay was considered advisable elm
mat chance that any action toward
Mexico at this time might be inter-
preted as prompted by political in
fluences.
That course has been laid out par
ticularly in view of Carranza's strong
intimations that the the United
States dealings with Mexico have
been determined by questions of in
ternal politics in this country.
The answer which Secretary Lans-
ing is preparing will rebuke General
Carranza sharply for that insinuation,
it is said. Administration officials
are still visibly worried over the
possibility of serious anti-American
outbreaks in Mexico, but they are
determined to take the initiative in
any aggressive action.
