RELEASE OF

SITUATION LESS Tense

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29-Although

ed fighting there between followers OF
President Carranza and General Alvaro
Obregon, presidential candidate. serv-
ed to ease the tenseness of the relae
tions between Mexico and the United
States. the state department today had
not altered its determination to en-
force the demand for the prompt re-
lease Of American consular agent Jen-
kins, imprisoned on the charge of
conniving with his bandit captors.
On top Of the already delicate Mex
lean situation was the report OF the
murder OF another American, w. M.
Wallace, oil man, who was shot down
by Carranista soldier. This COM
bined with the Jenkins case was ex-
pected to spur the state department to
strong diplomatic action against the
Carranza government. which has been
warned repeatedly against mistreat-
ment Of American citizens.

Mexico probably will be called upon
for a showdown once and for all IL

ficials believe are trumped up charges.
The state department has indicated
plainly that argumentative diplomacy
will not divert the government from its
course Of dealing with a serious in
ternational question.
Secretary Lansing in conference
with Mexican ambassador Bonillas
yesterday put the issue flatly before
him and explained pointedly that the
American government had demanded
action and not words in the Jenkins
affair. He is said to have further ex-
planned that unless the Mexican gov
ernment acceded promptly to this
country's demands the relations be-
tween the two nations necessarily
would be seriously affected.
The state departments formal reply
to the CarranZa message may be de-
layed several days pending the accum-
ulation of verified facts dealing with
the Jenkins case and other affronts
When the reply is framed 1t is expect
ed to contain more than a mere re-
quest and the government VIII be pre-

| limit
Eight Americans have been killed
in Mexico within the last few months
and government officials and members

ton over the apparent laxity of the
Mexican government in dealing with
the outlawry.

Hi Dueberry was over at the
county seat the other day and he
stopped in what he thought was the
best hotel in the over-grown vii
lage. 1t was an awful cold and
blustry winter night.
The heating system in the hotel
was not very good, and with only
one little stove in the office to fur
nish heat for all the fifty rooms.
His room was some where in the
neighborhOOd of twenty degrees be-
low zero: he went to bed thinking
that perhaps the heat would be bet
ter after he was in bed. He layed
there until about three o'clock in
the morning, and finally decided
that he could not stand the freezing
temperature Of that room any long
er.
Hi got up and went down to the
hotel office where the little stove
was trying to do it's best, and start
ed to poke the fire up bit when
the landlord came in and said:
What are you doing up at this
hour of the night, thought you left

Part One

The children went to visit Edin-
burgh castle early in the day you
remember We left them in Edin-
burgh yesterday. The great castle
sets high on a hill and the little
folks had a wonderful view of the
city from the towers
Jack and Jane had seen castles
before, but this one was larger
than any they had visited and they
noticed something different about
Ii. All around the outside of the
stone building was very deep
ditch, too wide for anybody to
jump across. The only way OF
getting into the castle was over
bridge "a drawbridge. Captain
Brave called it, Then he told the
children how the ditch was kept
filled with water in the olden times.
The knights, in their heavy armor.
could not swim. of course. and
therefore couldn't get across the
ditch except by using the bridges.
These were built so that they
could be pulled up on the castle
side of the water so that no one
could use them unless the king and
his followers gave their permission.
The bridges were kept raised all of
the time. Anyone who wanted to
enter the castle had to call to the
guards. If the guards knew then,
or if the strangers had business in
the castle the bridge was let down.
If not, the guards refused to lower
it. Many clever schemes were tried
by the enemy to get the guards to
let the bridges down, the captain
said.
From Edinburgh castle the chill
dren were taken to Hollywood cas-
tie, where all the kings and their
families lived, you know.
The children and their friends
spent the next day in Edinburgh
and then went to Dundee
I'll have to tell you what inter
ested the children most in Dundee.

children thought, made the picture
prCttier than ever.
Captain Brave shut off the motor,
glided TO landing in an open field
near one of the houses and the chill
rem climbed out. A group of red
checked healthy children gathered
around the airplane and a big man,
the owner of the house, came out of
il and come over TO Captain Brave.
OF course, the first thing Captain
Brave had to do was to arrange for
some place for him and his little
family to stay.
I'm sure the Widow Aar would
be more than glad to take you in"
said the man She lives in that
little chalet (Which is a house,
down the road Her husband was
killed while leading some folks a
cross the mountains and what you
pay her for taking care of your
folks will help her.
SO Captain Brave arranged with
Mrs Aar to let them live there.
OF course the children were
hungry, just like little folks usually
are, so Mrs. Aar gave them their
supper. And ii was just the kind
that would appeal to you if you had
been in Jacks or James place. 1t
