that following his report the presi-

u may be stated on the highest

south was not to seek means of with

positively that that question does enter

Scott Is trying TO answer questions
that have faced the administration for
the last TWO weeks and which tcle-
graphic communication with border
points has failed TO clear up satisfac-
torily. Among these questions is just
what is the attitude Of Carranza' to-
wards this country.
Since the Parral incident. when
American soldiers were fred on by
Carranza soldiers who attempted an
ambush, reports continue TO come in
OF increasing mobilization Of Car
ranzistas at points south OF Parral.
American officers have been warned
by Carranzista officials that Parral
is the doadline. Whether these Car
ranzista officers and men are acting
under orders from Carranza himself
or whcther-as as administration Off
cials believe-thoy are following the
mandates Of local cheftains. Scott is

From pure and sanity happiness

And none thy sacred law confess,
Guide Thou me Safely on, I pray,

Forboding loss affict with might
The clouds grow darker with the years.
Lord, give the magic rays of light
That may clearly see the way
Only today-only today.
When treasured blessings come TO me
And glorious sunshine fills the hours,
AS though my soul we're one with Thee,
Enough that ! may pick the flowers,
That spring and blossom by the way,

With satisfying pleasures bless.
