Yes" said hardwood, and il
seems to preach to us from the text
taken from Isaiah LV 1918: For
We shall go out with joy and be led
forth with peace; the mountains
and the hills shall break forth be-
fore you into singing, and all the
trees of the field shall clap their
hands, and instead of the thorn shall
come up the fir tree, and instead of
the briar shall come up the myrtle
tree; and it shall be to the Lord for
a name, for an everlasting sign that
shall not be cut off. "
"Amen!" joined the others.
That's bout 'cordin' to my no.
tior, too" said Hunter John.
Didn't the mountain break forth
inter singin' and clap his hands this
mornin'. and amt we goin' out
with j'y? Say, brethun, seems if
we orto have a sing"
Choose your hymn and we will
join you" said the judge.
All right; if Pm to be chorister,
all jine"
Come thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise;
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise the Mount, I'm fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love-"
And the voices and woods their
silence broke" and reechoed the
joyful song. With the approach of
eve the eXcursionists wended their
way back down to camp. After
supper the campfire was kindled,
and as the last rays of the setting
sun drew the curtain of eve, the
hermit thrush alighted over their
camp and began his vespers.
"A fitting close to this halIowed
day of rest in this sanctuary of the
mountains" said the judge.
1t was just at peep of starlight
when this winged chorister up there
on his aerial spray, ceased his sing
ing Holy, holy and a hush and
solemn stiffness followed apace,
seemed Nature in silent prayer.
Then the voices of the trees, in soft
mellow breeze. and the brooks lull-
ing voice, Joined with theirs in
singing low:
abide with me, fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens, Lord with me
abide"
Before the cheering light of the
campfire on their baImy cots. our
excurSionists lay, locking up unto
the star-lit dome of Gods universal
temple; and as the campfire grew
dim and the night deepeued, and
the stars beamed with iDtenser
spIendor: Behold upon the ladder
Of heavenly dreams, like unto Jacob,
Gods servant of old, angels Of holy
aspirations, messengers of light, as
cended and descended to the up
lifted souls Of the eXcursionists in
peaceful slumbers, and, as the light
Of stars began to fade at the APP
proach Of dawn, of the King of Day
in his rosy chariot, the ladder of
their heavenly dreams, CANCEL visi-
tors,) was slowly drawn up into
Heaven.

Confessions of Weakness

Information to this effect is reach
ing officials here from various relia-
BILE sources. So far nothing tangible
tending to support the story has come
through official channels. 1t is known,
however. that many officials here be-
lieve Gen. Carranza has committed
political blunder at least if he is not IN
fact preparing for fight. by permit
ting his family to leave Mexico just at
this time. The trip they say is certain
to be construed by his enemies as q
confession of weakness. The purpose OF
the visit of Mrs. Carranza and Mrs.
Obregon as explained at the Mexican
embassy is for tour of the Unlteo
States. Word Of the arrival at the Dor
der also of Mrs. Jacinto Trevino, wire
of the military commander OF Cnlnua-
hua state, had not been received TO-
night, 1t was pointed out, however, tnat
Trevino has been among Carranza
staunchest supporters and that IL the
First Chief believed his hold on the
political situation was weakening IRE
vino very probably would be warned
in order that he might also place his
family in safety.
The state department had not re-
ceived tonight word that Generals Car
rama and Obregon had left Mexico
CITY for Queretaro. Previous advlces'
however, said the first chief would go
to that place in Connection Win the
meeting of the constitutional conVen-
ton for which delegates were 90 tea
Ia st week. This is the only explanation
obtained here for Carranza's depar-
ture from his capital.
MANY war department officials have
privately expire ,sed their conVlctlon'
however, that the de facto government
or at least General Carranza's person
al control of the political situation was
growing steadily weaker. They have
anticipated that the time might come
soon when he would be forced to leave
Mexico.
The main point urged by Gen. Car
rama in asking for the withdrawal OF
the American troops from Mexico was
that their presence on Mexican SOIL
was not understood by the Mexican
neople and hindered his effort to es-
tablish a civil government. The Mex
,can commissioners at Atlantic City
have presented this view to their
American colleagues but so far have
not succeeded ir convincing the Amer
;cans Of the ability Of their govern
ment to protect American border life
and property should the troops be with
drawn.
While official reports on the progress
from Atlantic City are closely guard
ed it has become increasingly appar-
ont here that the continuance of dis
turbed conditions In Mexico is oper-
ating against the commissioners in
their efforts to reach solution Of the
border problem.

Destruction of Tents

Practically all of the big khaki tents

Wnale at Camp Reyes bear the black
letters &C. which mean inspected and
condemned" and they will also be
burned at once. In the majority of
cases, these big tents, which cost the
government s3S.07 each to buy. in
quantities, are not so badly hurt but
that they could be put in new shape
for few dollars, but they are to be
burned and it certainly does look like
useless waste of valuable material
the cost Of these tents running well in
to the thousands of dollars.
The gasoline saw, which has been
kept busy ever since the End Maine
arrived, was quiet most of the day on
Tuesday and the camp seemed very
quiet with this voice stilled, but late
in the afternoon it was again started,
to prepare the wood. for the night. In
Co. D. where there was but one tent
which had not been condemned, this,
being the tent used oy the Fourth
Squad. A fire started from sparks from
the SibIey stove and before the fire
could be extinguished the entire top
of the tent was consumed. With the
exception of the men under guard. who
were given a drill by way Of exercise
| in the forenoon, no drill was held for
the rest of the regiment until after
dinner.
