IT'S MOSTLY UP TO YOU.

..When the worlds a-goin' crooked,
Or it looks that way to you
Somehow seems to be a tangle
To most everything you do;
When you start out of a mornin'
With your luck a-runnin' wrong.
The birds along your pathway
Have a harshness in their song
And the grass though soft as velvet,
You will sort O. stumble through,
Sich timesifyou want things better,
Friend, it's mostly up to you.
'Tain't hard smilin' kith the sunshine
But it's durin' stormy spells.
When our weary feet are slippin',
That the stuff what's in us tells.
No-you won't have flowers allus
In the paths you travel through;
Still, if you would have things better,
Friend, it's mostly up to you"

EXPECT ENGLAND
TO COMPLY With
MAIL ULTINAIUN
Ambassador Rice IntimateS
That Question Will Be
Settled Satisfactorily
OTHER NEUTRALS SUPPORT
The AMERICAN DEMANDS
BY CARL d. GROAT

United Press stan Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. May 27.- Early and
favorable response TO the American
mail seizures protest against England
and France is confidently expected by
the administration limitations to-
day from State Department men were
TO the effect that Ambassador Spring
Rice had given the intimation that
England intends to comply with the
demands.
This was the more evident from
the fact that the United States did not
stipulate exact changes that must be
made but instead demanded only the
generality radical change" in tho
Allies policy. England knows, how
ever. what terms the United States ex-
acts. and as Sir Cecil has endeavored
to head of the note Il Is presumed he
has outlined concessions England Is
willing to make.
/ AS a matter OF fact. one official has
said. England's intentions appear
good. but her Administrative system
so faulty that seizures have con-
tinued despite her pledges to refrain
The case against England an'
France as set out in the note, nov
mailed Is.
That England forces neutrals' ship
into her ports or persuades ship line
to touch Britain. and then searche
malls. which. the United States says
are inviolable.
That England has been unrespons
i've on certain points Of the preyiou
mail protest.
That detention OF ships for ma
search purposes Is unwarranted.
That the Allies practice violate
the February 10 announcement an
the mails section Of The Hague COZ
vention.
That the United States will ont'
damage claims for past occurrences.
That even United States official ma
has been outraged.
In conclusion. the United state
states plainly Il "will no longer toI
crate" the Allied practices.
Beyond this. II shows itself as
champion Of neutral rights in its an
nouncement that a belligerent canno
be the Judge and jury on its viola
tions of international law.
In It's position this government ha
