cARRANZA s SECOND THOUGHT.

Carranza's second thought concerning the
Mexican oil tax was wiser and better than his
first. Evidently the president of Mexico has
made up his mind that it would be unwise to
give needless offense to England and the United
States, even when these powerful countries are
as busy as they are today. A government de-
cree of February twenty second caused anxiety
in British and American naval circles, because
it promised to interfere with the supply of
crude oil needed by battleships and destroyers.
The situation was made worse by amend
ment on July thirty-frst providing that unde
veloped oil lands might be seized by the Mexi-
can government upon failure of their owners to
make declaration and refusal to submit to what
they regarded as excessive taxation. Ameri-
can as well as English property rights were in
danger, but Mexico took the ground that it
could do as it pleased in the matter Of taxation.
Great Britain protest was disregarded-,for a
time. But now it seems that Carranza has can
celed the provisions of the decree of July
thirty-frst, and it is believed that crisis has
been diverted. Perhaps the obstinate head of
the Mexican government has looked ahead to
a time when Great Britain and the United
States will not be too busy elsewhere to look
after their interests in his country.

AN ADVENTURE IN NEIeHsoRlne

Christian Herald: want to tell you
about an Adventure in Neighboring"
that brought young girl back to the
right path, from which she had wan
dered to a dangerous point.
She came to live in our community
from place whose nearnesS made it
possible for her reputation to precede
her, as bad regulations have a habit
of doing. And the sad thing about it
was, that she seemed to be as wild
as her reputation claimed her to be.
She had unfortunately fallen in
with evil companions, in a nearby
town, where she went for her amuse-
ments, frequently going to question
able pleasure resorts, which tended
to lower more and more her stand
ards Of morality. She had grown so
bold and careless as to be almost re-
pulsiye to refined people. And she
had reached that state of defiance
and Indifference where parents had
no influence over her. Her condition
seemed hopeless.
But did those new neighbors shrink
from her and abandon her to her
fate? No. Under the leadership of
one dear, sweet girl, they went to the
rescue, The whole crowd surprised
her one evening in her home, and
made her understand that welcome
awaited her in their circle. This new
sincerity and kindness brought tears
to her eyes. She afterward said those
tears melted the ice in her heart.
But perhaps the knowledge that those
true, wholesome young people were
offering her friendship had a warm
ing effect also.
Nor did she ever have occasion to
doubt that friendship. She was never
left out because she was not "flt
company. And on evenings when her
old associates were most apt to claim
her, those friends planned (some-
times on a moments notice. to have
some attraction in the neighborhood
Little by little she was led and
lifted upward. 1t was not an instan-
taneous transition. Many and many
were her lapses into the old way
And at time she seemed even to re-
sent the approaches of her friends.
But they were patient and hopeful.
Never was word of reproach
spoken, or anything like advice given
unasked for She was led, not by
sermon, but by example, to see and be
ashamed of her folly and to admire
the lives of those who proved such
true friends.
No one would think, now, to watch
her face, full of enthusiasm as she
conducts a literary meeting or a
Young Peoples society, that she has
had a past to live down. But to those
who know, II proves anew that of all
the virtues 'the greatest of these Is
charity"

can freckled Aueust-drowsing and blonde
Beside a wheat-shock in the white-topped mead
In her hot hair and ox-eyed daisies wound
o bird of rain, lend aught but sleepy heed
To thee? when plumed weed, featherd seed
Blows by her; and ripple breaks the pond,
That CLEANS like flint between its rim OF grasses,
Through which the dragon fly forever passes
Like splntered diamond.
Drouh weights the trees and from the farm house caves
The locust, pulse-beat OF the summer day,
Throbs; and the lane, that shambles under leaves
Limp with the heat-a league of rutty way
Is lost in dust; the sultry scents of hay
Breathe from the painting meadows heaped with sheaves
Now, o bird, what hint Is there OF rain,
In thirsty heaven burning plain,
That they eye perceives?
But thou art right, Thou prophesiest true
For hardly has thou ceased thy forecasting,
When, up the western ferceness of scorched blue
Great water-carrier winds their buckets bring
Brimming with freshness. How their dfppers ring
And flash and rumble! lavishing dark dew
corn and forestland, that, streaming wet
Their hiIly backs against the downpour set,
Like giants vague In view.
The butterfly, safe under leaf and flower,
Has found a roof knowing how true thou art;
The bunbiebee, within the last half hour,
Has ceased to hug the honey to its heart;
While in the barnyard, under shed and cart
Brood hens housed But 1 who scorned thy power,
Barometer of birds-like August there
Beneath beech, dripping from foot to hair
Like drenched truant cover.

The National Security League has perfected
its plan for offering training to men of draft
age not yet called to the camps and details have
been sent to the local boards throughout the
country. The chairmen of the local boards will
select a captain for each unit Of men formed for
training. The government has agreed to CO.
operate in securing the services of retired or
disabled army officers to serve as instructors
A physician will also be appointed to give in
struction to the men in hygiene and physical
precautions which may serve to prevent liabil-
ity to sickness In camp. This training is entire
ly volunteer one, but its advantages are OBJ
vious. At the camps the first need is for non
commissioned officers. Out of the coming draft
men to serve sergeants and second lieuten-
ants must be found The men who have several
months Of home training under competent in
structors, putting in what spare time they have
will be body from which such officers can be
selected Moreover, the break into the rigid
discipline and hard training of camp Life will
not be abrupt for men who have been given an
insight into what army training consists of and
have been somewhat hardened to it by home
work.
