WAYS ACCEPTS CHALLENGE.

Mexico Must Work Out Her
Own Affairs.

New York. Jan. 28.-President Will
son has indicated plainly that he is
no longer 'too proud to fight" In an
address at Aeolian hall, before great
crowd of ministers representing many
denominations, he said:
81 always accept, perhaps by some
impulse of my native blood, the chal-
lenge to a fight"
He added that with him it was not
" a case of knock down and drag out, y
but "a case Of putting up the best rea-
son why your own side should sur
vive."
Doctrine Of Peace.
In the announcement of his doctrine
as to peace and belligerency, the Presi-
dent obviously attempted to eliminate
from further discussion the "too proud
to fight" phrase, which has resulted
in greater criticism both in this coun-
try and Europe than any other utter
ance Of the chief executive.
The Presidents address was devot-
ed to the cause of peace.
Peace he said, "has for it foun-
dation justice without aggression, .
and this, he declared, is now and
would continue to be his attitude to-
ward foreign nations and "our unfor-
tunate neighbor to the south.
Justice Keynote Of Policy.
Justice without aggression is the
KEYNOTE of President Wilson's policy
toward Mexico, he told 1900 clergy
men assembled in Aeolian hall. "The
foundation of peace is justice without
aggression" the President declared,
adding that he was committed to the
policy of allowing Mexico to work out
her own affairs.

Vigorous Protest.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The text OF

States considers "vexatiously inqu1sl-
torial."
The note describes the practices OF
British officials as @'unWarranted IN
references and, urgently requesting
prompt reply, points out that "a
strong feeling is being aroused IN
this country by the loss OF valuable
letters, while foreign banks are refus-
ing to cash American drafts because
they have no assurances that drafts
are secure in the mails.
Denies Right Of Britain.
The United States declares that
parcel post articles are entitled to the
exemptions OF neutral trade, and de-
MES the right of Great Britain to take
neutral mail ships into British juris-
diction for purposes of search and
then submit them to local censorship
regulations.
It also denies that the British gov
eminent has any authority over neu'
trail sealed mails on ships which
merely touch at British ports.
10 Consult Her Allies.
With the text of the American note

of principle raised by the United
States have made it necessary for
Great Britain to consult her allies be-

STRIKING SENTENCES FROM
ADDRESS ON PREPAREDNESS

America is forced-whether she
will or no-in the decades Immediate
ly ahead of us, to furnish the world
with is chief economic guidance and
assistance.
1--WE can no longer be provincial
nation.
LET no man say if he would speak
the truth that the question OF per-
lection Of national defense is ques-
ton of war or peace.
There is something the American
people love better than they love
peace. They love the principles upon
which their political life is founded.
They will at no time seek contest,
but they will at no time cravenly avoid
it. Because if there is one thing that
every nation ought to fight for 1t IS
the integrity of it's own convictions.
We will not surrender our convictions.
I would rather surrender territory
than surrender those ideals which are
the staff of life for the soul itself.
eff we should go into Mexico do
you know what would happen? All
the sympathy of the rest of America
would look across the water and not
northward to the great Republic
which we profess to represent.
More than a year ago l said this
question of military preparedness was
not pressing subject. But more than
a year has gone since then and l
would be ashamed if 1 did not learn
something in IA months.
81 don't know anything about what
is going to happen when the war is
over, and neither do you.
America never will be the agrees
sor; America always will seek to the
last point at which her honor is in
volved to avoid the things which dis
turb the peace of the world.
But America does not control the
circumstances of the world and we
must be ready to defend the things
we love against every contingency
which may acct or impair them

Long Time in Transit.

On October 8, 1888, a clerk in the
employ of a New York steamship bro.
ker mailed letter to the master of
The Swedish bark Superior at Mar
seilles
The letter was never delivered But
n the autumn of 1913 it was returned
to the steamship brokers' Office,
stamped all over it's face. The hest
explanation offered for it's 80 years in
transit was that it had lain in the
Swedish consulate at Marseilles all
those years, and that during a house
cleaning was found and remafled.
In the post office department Off
cials tell Of letter that was mailed
from there in 1852, addressed to Rob-
ert S. Mckay at New Orleans. The
letter followed Mr. Mckay to Russia,
where he was a consulate attache. But
he had died there and had left in his
will a provision that all his papers
should be locked up until his f1ve-year-
old son and namesake attained his ma
jority.
When 1868 arrived tn , son was trav-
cling and exploring in Africa A law

the 1852 will, supposed the letter was
for the present Mr.. Mckay and start
ed it forth again. It rested in Cape

1871.
When it was started back to New
/ Orleans Mr.. Mckay had left for ex

that two Of the greatest London stores

that if people who formerly took two

customers have acted on the advice.

the firm by making their economy a
matter Of profit to them, make habit

DESERVES WELL OF FARMER
Phoebe's Voice Is Faint and She Ger.
tainIy Is Not Pretty, but She
Hates All Beetles.

After you're well acquainted with
the phoebe and catch some of her spir-
it of friendliness and companionship,
you won't care snap of the finger
that she can't sing very well, nor that
she isn't good looking. You'll well
come her in spring just as if she were
a Venus for looks and Melba for voice.
You'll listen for her first notes and
say: There's Phoebe back again.
She's the earliest arrival among the
fycatchers, reaching here about March
81, even before the flies. She seeks
out her last years home under the
bridge, or beneath the rafters of the
barn, and starts renovating her nest.
Often when an unscrupulous cowbird
usurps the nest to lay eggs of her
own, the phoebe will build another
nest atop the old one and start house
keeping over again as if nothing had
interrupted.
We've remarked that she couldn't
sing, yet her little "phe-bee" note is
one of the cheeriest of springtime.
We've said she wasn't beautiful, yet
her dull olive-brown coat, with a yel-
lowish-white breast are far more at
tractive than some birds of gay plu-
mage. The phoebe is beautiful be-
/ cause she is useful.
From the time of her arrival until
she leaves late in the fall she's busy
warning on the farmers enemies.
She'll sit on a mullen stalk and watch
for a beetle. Suddenly she will dart
into the air and her bills go shut with
a good-by beetle. She is for
est conservationist, because she eats
the elm leaf beetle. She is the farm.
er's friend, because she eats the May
beetles and click beetles, which in.
lure crops. She is the gardener
friend because she eats the squash
beetle.
In fact, she is the friend of everyone
except the beetles.-Philadelp
