Vatican, in some of the m:s- I'M

President: Wilson, is regarded in some
quarters as insuring the peace pro-
posals against an unqualified reJec-
ton, even in the most polite and
diplomatic language.
On the other hand, the failure i
the Pope's plan to meet some OF the
essential demands Of President VII
son as a condition. of peace is re-
gaIdcd as making it certain that the
can ne no acceptance.
Much of the uncertainty here sur
rounding the preparation OF the
American reply has arisen from the
fac; that the major part of the ne
gotiation upon the subject has been
conducted in foreign capitals, through
resident American ambassadors. In
the early stages some attempts were
made by the Entente diplomats in
Washington to ascertain the prob
able nature of the American reply.
But these were generally unsuc-
ccssful, not from any disposition on
the part of the officials of the State
Department to deny their confidence
to The foreign representatives, but
for the reason that until he had de-
velopcd the views Of the Entente
ChancelIories President Wilson was
maintaining an open mind on the
subject.

Washington, Aug. 28.-Signs were
i'll evidence yesterday Of the dispatch
of President Wilson's reply to the

an early date.
Officials freely conceded the proba-
hility Of the early completion of the
c. rmunication. indicating thai the
President and Secretary Lansing ut

urcs of the reply, so that what re-
mains to be done is to put these ideas
into diplomatic language. 1t is I'M

So far no authorized statement
has been Forthcoming as to the ma

there has been formal denial ur a

Lansing had Informed some of the

OUT FOR BUSINESS.

No wall around this town-Every-
body interested and much awake.
China built a wall around herself
1000 years ago. Then she went to
sleep. She is just waking up. The
wall wasn't built for sleep producing
purposes; just built to keep outsid-
ers outside. But the result was the
same. When a city decides that out
siders are not needed it is already
asleep.
There are a lot of Chinese walls
around cities these days, and they are
worse than China's old wall, because
most people cannot see them. They
are invisible, but they are none the
less potent A city must either sleep
and slip or keep shaking herself to
remain wide awake. There's no half
way. Just keeping the gate open
won't do, it must tear down the door
and hang the welcome sign" all
over the place. A city, If it wants to
keep going, must send out invitations
invite everybody to come and stay
as long as they like, promise them a
good time and see that they get it.
No matter whether these invita-
tions be advertisements in newspa-
pers or magazines; let them be let
ters, post cards or circulars, but tell
everybody that the city is a good
place to live in. We must work for
Mexico and keep at it, The more we
do the more there is to do. That is
the way to make a city. 1t helps every
bondholder, home owner or wage
Garner.
There's no longer a Chinese wall
around Mexico; neither are it's peo-
pie asleep. The streets are busy
men and women are prosperous.
Strangers express pleased surprise at
the looks of things. We are buzzing
along at a merry pace-engine 60
ing smoothly. But this city building
business is no JOY ride-it's an endur-
ance run, and we've got to keep
putting in the oil of diplomacy, CO.
operation and good fellowship, and
the gasoline of ginger, enthusiasm,
publicity and salesmanship. OF course
we are going to do it, and everybody
is going to help us.

Each session is one of business, in
toto. Mrs. Ralph Latshaw, president
of the G. w. B. NJ, made an inter
esting address at the opening of the

During the day George Campbell
of Hannibal gave a clever talk on the
topic, 81 Cannot Preach"
w. r. Warren, Secretary of the Ma
tional Ministerial Relief headquar-
ters at Indianapolis, Ind, gave an
interesting address touching sub
jects along his line of work.
Mrs. c. p Carpenter asked all auto
owners of the city to meet her at the
church Tuesday afternoon at four
o'clock with their cars to give the
delegates a spin in sightseeing about
our city.
Clare Harding, a former Mexico
boy, is attending the convention and
is greatly assisting in the music part
of the program. Mr.. Harding is a
singing evangelist and is making for
himself a reputation Nationwide in
that line of work. Mexico is proud of
him, glad to have him with us again,
too.
The Convention is a great gather
ing Mexico is honored in it's coming
the coming of it's delegates into our
homes. The program continues thru
