The Wrong Spirit

From the Washington Star.
 "The wrong spirit" said Adolph Lew ishon, president of the national com mittee on prisons. apropos of recent prison legislation.
 These people show the wrong spirit as markedly as the child did.
 "A little child was about to be spanked. As his mother advanced, with the slipper, he threw himself on his knees, and prayed:
 Now, then, bod, if you're as dood to little children as they say you are now's tour chance"

Cooked Real Estate

From London Tt BUS
 During a particularly nasty dusty storm at one of the camps, recruit ventured to seek shelter in the sacred precincts of the cooks domain.
 After time he broke an awkward silence by saying to the cook:
 If you put the lid on that camp kettle you would not get much of the dust in your soup
 The irate cook glared at the intruder, and then broke out:
 See here, my lad, your business is to serve your country
 "Yes." interrupted the recruit, but not to eat it.

Senator Hitchcock insisted that pro- longed debate at this time could get the Senate nowhere, and that Senator Cummins had misinterpreted the Pres ident's address The President, he de- clared, had presented no programme, but merely had suggested a principle under which this government could unite with league of nations for peace
 "The address," said Senator Hitch cock, "has met a responsive chord in every great country of the world; it will be the greatest instrument for world peace at the close of the war; it has fastened the advent of peace and probably has saved millions of lives among the fighting nations. Since the message was delivered there has been a tremendous spread of sen timent in Europe for steps toward peace and it is only by the aid of a great outside power like the United States that peace can come" .

Mexican Situation Placed in

Considering Change.
az ASSOCIATED PRIss.

Washington, Jan. 3.-The entire
Mexican situation has been put in the
hands of President Wilson.
American members of the Mexican
American commission maze the pres
ident full report of the negotiations
which reached a deadlock.
Although no official statement was
made, it became known that the
American commissioners considered
more attempts to settle affairs
through a joint commission as use
less.
However, they told the president of
Carranza's failure to ratify. the At
lantic City protocol and asked the
president whether the conference
should continue.
1t seems certain tonight that some
radical change in the Mexican policy
will be adopted soon.
The president is now considering
the withdrawal of Pershing, which is
being urged by amy officers for mil
itary reAs>1s.

SCHOOL
SET On FIRE
Unknown Person Was Seen
Running From Building
When Fire Discovered.

What is considered a deliberate at
tempt to burn down the high school
building on North Palafox street was
frustrated when at 9:40 o'clock last
night, John Rauscher, driving a taxi,
discovered the building ablaze. He
stopped his car and ran into the resi-
dence of ]. Simpson Reese and tele-
phoned fire headquarters. In few
minutes, the department reaching the
scene, found that gas jets in as many
as five different parts of the building
had been lighted.
Despite the deliberate attempt,
there will be no interruption to school,
which will be convened at the usual
Zine this morning at the usual hour.
The class rooms were not damaged in
the least.
Mr.. Rauscher, who had Ed May as
a companion in his car, said that his
attention was attracted by a light in
the building and remarked to Mr..
May that the building was burning.
Just as he said that, he said, he and
Mr.. May saw an individual running
from the building. Whether or not
the suspicious person could be iden-
titled, Mr.. Rauseher would not say.
Assistant Chief Riera said the fire
was clearly the work of someone in
tending to burn the building, ana
said that at least five different gas
jets had been lighted. These jets, it
was explained, were turned so that
the flames would and did burn the
wooden walls. At one point, it is said,
one jet had been twisted so that the
light was inside a drawer, and this
is the way Prof. DeWolf reported it
to the fire department.
The office of Prof. Rogers was bad
ly damaged, and from the progress of
the flames, it appeared that this was

PLAN BIGGEST
YET
Auto Parade, Elaborate Pag-
cant, Mask Ball, Plan
ned by Directors.

At the meeting of the board of
directors of the Carnival Association
held last night, in the San Carlos
hotel, it was decided that mask ball
will be given on the night of January
II, in the Keyser auditorium, for the
benefit of the association, and it is
hoped that a large amount may be
raised to make the celebration this
year more elaborate than any in the
past. No definite plans have yet been
announced, but more complete details
will be made in short while.
Another important matter to come
before the board was the question of
manning the floats taking part in the
grand night pageant Tuesday of the
celebration. 1t was decided that an
auxiliary association viii be formed
the members of which will man the
various floats. This step was neces-
sary, it is pointed out, because of the
former experience in filling the floats
at the last moment frequently with
unsuitable parties and in costumes
not in harmony with the subject of
the float.
An additional feature of the new

MUNITIONS TO. MEXICO

Toxic, Jan. 3.-It is reported that
Col. Carpio, and two other represen-
tatives of General Carranza, are now
in Japan with the object of purchas-
ing ammunition, rifles, artillery and
steamship. They are said to have
been negotiating for the 3,000-ton
vessel Notchira Maru, which recently
was chartered by the newly formed
Kwatsuda Shipping Company. The
Notchira Maru cleared from Yoko-
hama yesterday with Salina Cruz,
Mex, as her destination. The mani
fest lists her cargo as general mer-
chandise and machinery. An uncon-
firmed report is current that the
steamer carries $500 rifles purchased
from various Japanese brokers from
stock discarded as unsuitable by rep
resentatives of the entente powers.
