[aepublican A. P. Leased Wire]

"A. Leased Wirel WASHINGTON, May 1O.-Further developments in the Mexican situation still awaited tonight definite outcome of the Fl Paso conference between Generals Scott, Funston and Obre- , gon. Officials of both the war and ' state departments appeared confident that an agreement satisfactory to both sides would be negotiated although they hesitated to predict how much more time might be required.
 Eliseo .Arrendondo, Mexican ambas- sador- designate, called on Counsellor Polk at the state department late in the day Both he and Mir Polk said the visit had no significance and was merely a general discussion of the sit uation. MT. Arredondo had no addi- tional advices from his government to present and Mir. Polk could give him no news as to the conference at Fl Paso
 Secretary Baker received a report from General Scott on the long dis cussion with General Obregon last night. It stated that while the -Mexi- can war minister had talked over a
 
 | trol, the proposition was not presented | formally as a sub for the protocol | worked out previously. General Scott | did not transmit deltails of the new discussion but indicated that he ex- | pected General Obregon to submit his new plan later.
 l Officials here thought it unlikely | President Wilson would accept any agreement which looked forward to the withdrawal from Mexico of the | American troops, even with promises l that a complete patrol of the Mexican side would be established by the de facto government. There was nothing to indicate that the president was in | clined to change lis decision that Gen eral Pershing'e forces will remain in Mexico until the de facto government has demonstrated beyond question its ability to control the situation there. | No official has been willing to discuss just what such demonstration must be; but it is certain that a mere as- sertion by General Carranza or Gen erdl Obregon will not be sufficient The course of General Obregon at Fl Paso has been puzznng. Adminis- tration officials have had reason to believe that General Carranza has given his assent to the agreement as originally framed except in minor de- tails. The plan was suggested in part at least by General Obregon himself when the conferees first met; yet Obre- gon has refused thus far to exchange notifications with General Scott
 In some quarters, it was thought the Mexican war minister might be seek ing political benefit from the, tactics he has adopted. There is no official information tending to support this view, although intimations of friction ! between Carranza and his war minis ter have been published frequently. 5 It is not believed here that political

Comparative calm prevails on the western front in France. notably in the region of Verdun, which for weeks has been the theater of the most sarguinary conflicts of the war.

In Memory of ldaria Trahan

The beloved wife of the Hon.

of April 10Th, 1910, died at her
home after suffering the ills Of tv-

day, Thursday, Apail 27jh, her

took the remains to Esther, where
they were laid to rest by the Rev.
Father Bollard, the Catholic priest
Of Abbcvillc The funeral was
largely attended, and the words of
consolation uttered by the Reverend
Father were very touching.
To realize that such a virtuOus
woman, devoted wife and aficc-

dcrinR, though it may be the wish
Of God in His infinite visions She
knew nothing but the fear of God,
love Of children and devotion to
husband, and her disappearance
from the hresidc will only broaden
and deepen the love which all will
bear TO her memory.
She has left eight children to
remember her whilst she lived, and
with the prayer of her numerous
friends, will join her husband in
wishing that her eternal bliss will
be greater than her usefulness on
earth.

cannot make a success i'll life
unless you work. Older men
than you have tried it and
failed. You cannot loaf around
the street corner, smoke, tell
stories and sponge on someone
else without making failure
of life. You must learn a
trade or get into some honest
business. If you don't you
will become a chronic loafer,
and there is no place in the
world for loafers. The ripe
fruit is at the top of the tree
and you must climb if you get
it or some smart man will
pluck it from you. Do some
thing no matter how small or
how low the wages, it will be
a starter. Help yourself and
others will help you. There
is no royal road to success;
will, grit and endurance are
the qualities that lead to it.
