Sunday she was induced to return home for dinner and during her visit was given some good advice relative to her future con- duct. As result of the talk, she agreed to stay at home. After day or two she again 'disappeared and her parents complained to the officials and she was placed under arrest in Putnam and taken back to her nome here.
 Friday morning she was arraigned before pr. Emilien Koch acting as a justice of the peace on charge of being in danger of falling into habits of vice. A plea of guilty was entered and she was ordered committed to the Hartford home.
 While the girl was at the Putnam railroad station she broke down and cried at having to be taken away and at last realized that she had not been doing right.

Co derre is at present night officer in the village of North Grosvenordale. He is faithful, painstaklng official and has performed his duties to the satis- faction of all citizens.

Uncle Harry Explains Why The Mexican Trouble Did
Not Lead To War

Wilson was really anxious 10 with
draw the American army from Mex
leo as soon as he could be sure that
its work Of pursuing and Furnishing
the bandits was finished and the
Mexican army was able to prevent
further raids into American towns
realizing all this. l say. Carranza re-
leased the American soldiers who
we're prisoners and then offered
to discuss the difficulties through
correspondence or to send represen-
tatives to meet representatives of the
United States government and peace
fully settle the difficulty by agreeing
to practically any plan that may be
suggested.
president Wilson in replying to
Carranza's note thanked the Mexican
government for its evidence of friend
ship and stated that the United
States government would be very
glad TO discuss the whole unfortu-
nate trouble with a view TO perman-
ent and satisfactory settlement"
1T was pretty narrow escape,
wasn't it," said joe
1T certainly was" said Uncle
Harry, "but the world has learned
lot in the last two years"
"What do you mean by that?"
asked Jimmy
Simply this" explained Uncle
Harry president Wilson and the
people Of the United States and First
Chief Cara, "a and his people, and
all the people-everywhere. including
those in Europe, have learned that
il is very easy to start a horrible war.
but very difficult to stop IT,"
Uncle Harry paused a moment, and
then said: Don't misunderstood me,
boys. l know something of the sor-
row that came. into the families OF
those American and Mexican soldiers
who we're killed at Carrizal. and |
know that President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing and every other
government official would do any.
thing in their power 10 bring back
the lives of those men. if that we're
possible. But it isn't And when
Carranza showed his willingness TO
make peaceful settlement of the
trouble. and with President Wilson
knowing that the rank and file OF peo.
pie in the United States really had nc
quarrel with the rank and file of peo
pie in Mexico. and knowing too Of the
terrible cost Of lives that would result
from war, it seems to me a great
blessing that the trouble did not lead
to a declaration of war"
