Parrots In a Fire.

'1n case Of fire save the parrots

the fireman. "They are best able to
take care of themselves. When a fire
starts in bird store most persons
who join the rescue party make a
grab for the parrots. First aid should
be extended to the canaries. They
and other small birds are mighty

parrot is no phoenix, but unless he

put up a pretty stiff fight against a
fire and can hold his own until the
rescuers make second invasion.

EXCESS OF POLITICS

American diplomats and in the army and

hnssador to France, in an address at to-
Navy League of the United states. He
was speaking on The banefuI influence
of politics upon our foreign relations.''
III there is one conviction more deepIv
rooted In my mind than any other" said
Mr., White, lit is that the respect in which
a nation Is held by others is in exact
ratio to the fleets and armies which arr,
believed to be looming in the distance
and prepared to back up, If necessary,

Foreign powers know that political con-
sideration Of the length OF purse strings

paredncss' has become domestic politi-
cal issue.

Washington, April Ex-senator Fall ot
New Mexico. who has been studying con-
dtions on the Mexican frontier, has made
n report to his republican colleagues in
the Senate in the form Of a letter to SEN
ator Gallinger of New Hampshire. the
minority leader. in which he gives a new
version of the fight at Columbus, y. NJ,
between Villas men and American SOL
diers, and draws a disquieting picture of
the task ahead of the American punitive
expedition.
Mr. Fall believes that only general in
tervention will restore order in Mexico,
but his letter refers to this once only
and then simply by implication where he
concludes with the statement that the
Mexican population has received the
American column with open arms. and
that he believes intervention would be
welcomed likewise
