HELPFUL TALK TO STUDENTS

A welcome surprise was accorded
the students of the Rock Island high
school yesterday afternoon when for
mer Principal H. E. Brown, now prin-
cipal of the township high school at
iKenilworth, H., dropped in upon the
Shakespearean program that was be-
ing given in general assembly and ad-
dressed the students at the close of
the regular program. Mr.. Brown was
on a short visit in this vicinity and
had already visited the high schools of
Moline and Davenport. He arrived at
the local high school at noon and was
Immediately prevailed upon to say a
few words to the students in general
ASSEMBLY.
Mr. Browns talk was concise and to
the point He called attention to the
fact that every school has some par
ticular ideal toward which it works
and to illustrate this point mentioned
the different thoughts brought TO mind
when Harvard, Yale, Princeton or
Wellesley were mentioned and like
wise when the different high schools OF
the tri-cites were spoken of. Thus, he
said, it was with individuals, and ey-
cry person ought to respect that par
ticular superiority of another over
himself The individual, he said, ought
to respect his superiors. his compan-
ions and, above all, himself, for if he
did not respect himself and his ideals
he would never make success OF
command the respect of others. The
former principals talk was most eff
fective one and brought the undivided
attention of his audience.

been arranged as memorial for til,

ones that has been offered this year

orders from Mexico City in failing to

Carranza officials have given plaus-
ible reasons for moving the forces of
General Arnulfo Gomez eastward from
Sonora, the troops of General Luis
Herrera south from Chihuahua to Par
raj and considerable force towards
Casas Grandes but should the war
office at Mexico City decide later to

Expecting Scott Report.
Washington, d. c., April %
A preliminary report from Major
General Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff OF
the army, on his conference with Cen
eral Funston at San Antonio. Texas
last night regarding the Mexican prob
lem, was expected today by officials of
the Washington government.
The next step of this government re-
garding the pursuit of Francisco Villa
OF the withdrawal of troops probably
will not be taken pending the receipt
of a complete report on the situation
from General Scott. This report is
not expected until he returns to Wash
ington. Before departing General
Scott announced that he would make
his investigation and return as soon as
possible, although he was unable to
say how long that would be.
Felix Diaz Active.
Meanwhile reports of alleged moves
on the part OF Felix Diaz, nephew OF
the former Mexican dictator, for new
revolution against the de facto gov
eminent, are causing considerable I'M
easiness at the state department. The
movement is said to be backed by
wealthy Mexicans both in Mexico and
the United States.
Admission is made by Secretary
Baker than American consuls in Mex
leo had been advised of reports to the
effect that Mexican officers had warn
ed General Pershing not to proceed
south of Parral before the clash there
The secretary insists, however, that
the warning had not caused any
