BLUEJAY ENDS CHICKEN FIGHT
Interested Referee Finally Steals
Prize From Hen, Rooster and
Guinea.

A black hen, game rooster and q
guinea hen on the farm Of Samuel
Dodd, near the Passaic county line
discovered and fought for nearly an
hour over q good-sized rat which had
been crippled by the rooster.
Each bird asserted its claim to the
prize in the best way it could. When
the fighting was firing the combatants,
along came a bluejay which settled
the ownership by picking up the rat
and flying into a corncrib.
The farmhands and others who had
watched the battle asserted that the
bluejay's trick entitled the bird to all
the honors that have been heaped up
on the species.

National Honor
In desperation for a slogan our op-
ponents try to create an issue out of
national honor.
Now national honor is not the within
of an individual mind.
National honor is the composite SEN
tment, the composite reason of a
whole people feeling the emotions Of
nature and following the dictates Of
| God.
And II Is for this reason that the
power" to declare war is conferred
by the Constitution of the United
States. not on the individual will OF

son. the representative decision Of
the congress OF the United States"

We have built our greatness on the
resources of nature and the peace

With us war has never been q
choice, 1t has always been fate.
Like the old Mohawk chief who
loved peace, we would like to throw
the tomahawk of war 80 high In the

pull il down. But when some other
tribe among the races of men sends

We deprecate the compulsion but
we recognize the need OF the police

FRIENDLY SPIRIT
BECOMES EVIDENT

Washington, May 24:-No authori-
tative forecast of the proposals to be
made by Gen. Carranza in his new
note had reached officials here tonight
and while some apprehension was ap-
parent that it's tenor might not be en-
tirely satisfactory, the geeral feeling
was one of confidence that it would
open the way to a definite agreement
for continued cooperation of tAmeri-
can and de facto forces in the pursuit
of bandits in northern Mexico.
Recent reports from Special Agent
Rodgers at Mexico City have ind1cat-
ed growing friendl1ness towards the
United States and have led the state
department to hope that the new
communication would suggest a re-
sumption of negotiations for a pro-
tocol covering the operations of the
American expeditionary forces. Mr.
Rodgers dispatches have said that
Gen. Obregon's report on his confer
ences at the borders with Gen. Scott
had made a strong impression on Of
fcials of the defacto government and
had convinced them that the United
States was acting in good faith and
had no Interior motive in its opera
lions or Mexican soil.
