Early in March two big issues faced
the government-one in Mexico. where
the bandit. Villa, was starting his
reign of terror along the border; the
other a concerted effort in congress
to force a resolution warning Ameri-
cans off armed ships.

Night Attack.
Some years after the civil war Q
gathering of veterans of both sides
was exchanging "reminiscences at o

of New York, writes Mrs. La Sale
Uorbell Pickett in Llppincott's.
The presiding officer was Colonel

regiment, Pickett's division. De

because OF peculiar circumstance.
almost resulting in the compulsory
disobedience of orders-the obey

mand than that of earth.
"The point of attack had been
carefully selected" said Colonel
Phillips, "the awaited dark night
had arrived, and my command was
to fire when General Pickett should
signal the order.
"There was that dread, indescrib-
able stiffness, that weird, ominous
sience, that always settles over
everything before a fight. You felt
that nowhere in the universe was
there any voice or motion.
Suddenly the awesome silence
was broken by the sound ola deep.

there rang through the night the
words:

"The guns were shifted, the vol
ley that blazed out swerved aside,
and that defenseless head was Gov

The esrtl's Surface.

The surface Of the earth can be
compared t. the top of a barrel OF
asphalt, hard and rigid through and
through. scanned and cracked on the
surface bv the ements. For ten
miles in straight line below the
surface the earth is probably dry
and hard. Of rock substance. The
pressure Of this substance upon the
heated center Of the earth keeps it
from getting hotter than it is, just
as you can keep water from boiling
by an appropriately sufficient pres
sure. The fact that there is steam
in volcanic eruptions is the leakage
of the interior pressure of heat in
the earth. The character of matter
IN the center OF the earth or its inn
mediate environment must be some
thing like pumice stone-spongy,
porous, light-because when the
earth's interior matter is melted in
the high temperatures that are
there it dissolyes, and there is con-
siderable water in it that escapes
through volcanic craters in steam.

statements attributed to me in the

that if they had been controverted or

disclaimed responsibility.
Mr.. Andrews said he understood
from a signed article Of mine in a

further went on to explain how

Not having heard from the otticE is
here and the date of the meet ap-
nroaching near, went to the president
of the OLYMPIC Club and told him that
there was a big meet to oe he!d IN
Honolulu; that wanted to go; tnat

Mr. Rawlins read and which le' him

He told me in his office here that 1t

could get ME 20 swim for nothing or
for half expenses, of course he would.

action fair.

Mr.. Rawlins then complained Of the
unfair treatment he had received in
the papers, saying that false impress
siOns had been caused TO arise from
NV statements. | said | would surely
try and correct such impressions when

was my intention to pr 1sent both sides
as fairly as possible. In few minutes
Mrs. Leo made a motion that someone
of the committee be appointed to see
the papers and give them a true report
of the meeting. Mr.. Jackson objected
to this as disepurteous to me.
Mr.. Andrews said that in view of the
fact that he had wired Mr.. Rawlins
in San Francisco to bring me, and that
it was his intention that my expenses
should be paid, he could sc no reason
why they should not be. Mr.. Soper
concurred. Mr.. Jackson put the mo.
ton, which was seconded by Miss
Stacker, and carried. Mr. RawIins
then said that he wanted it under.
stood that he was at no time against
paying my expenses.
He further went on to say that he
wanted the whole mess cleaned ND, SO
that when anyone went back to the
states there would not be fuss raised
there. So this is my attempt to clean
the thing up satisfactorily. The main
point now is for all to WORK together
to make the swimming meet a real
success.
