BRITISH CHARGE IS GIVEN ORDER
 TO QUIT MEXICO
New Friction Complicates Situ. ation Involving England,
 America and Carranza.

Washington, Aug. 15.-More fric- tlon between Great Britain and Mexi- co appeared today to complicate the Mexican situation.
 Britains last remaining diplomatic representatives in the Mexican capi- tal-William Cummings, in charge of the archives of the legation there, has been ordered from the country by mandate of Carranza.
 The acton amounts to the British representatives practical deporta- tion.
 Great Britain, never having recognized the Carranza regime, has had no minister in Mexico City since Sir Lionel Garden. The charge d d'affalres, Thomas Hohler, was with drawn some time ago, and Cum mings was left as charge de archives in charge of the legation records and acting as a medium of communica- tlon for his government, although without official authority.
 In strict sense Cummings has no diplomatic standing although he has delivered communications from the British government protesting against mistreatment of British sub- jects and interests
 Now, wholly without representa- tive in Mexico City, England prob ably will rely on France or the Uni ted States to represent her.
 At the same time, dispatches telling of Cararnza's decision to inform the Mexican congress at it's opening Sep tember s"fully as to the state of relations with the governments of the United States and England, were received here and attracted consider able attention.

 The bulletin also states General Fertunao Zuazua, commander of troops in the state of Tamaulipas was sending well trained troops" to all parts of that state where foreigners live, with view of amply protect ing them." Tamaulipas contains many of the Tampico district oil wells.

THE END OF SUMMER

And Corcopsis goes to seed,
When peoples in the garden bleed,
And pansies, blossoming past their
prime,
Grow small and smaller all the
time,
When on the mown field, shrunk
and dry,
Brown dock and purple thistle lie,
And smoke from forest fires at
noon,
Can make the sun appear the
moon,
When apple seeds, all white before,
Begin to darkCn in the core,
! know that summer, scarcely
here,
Is gone until another year.

A FILIPINO WATER-CARRiER

The youthful water-carrier of
the PHILIPPINES carries water tank
made Of bamboo, which he hangs
on each side of his horse when he
starts his days work. His method
of getting ready for an arduous
day is unique. He simply fastens
all the tanks in place with a rope,
and makes a bride for his horse
out of the leftover ends. Then he
sallies forth into a world of mud
and insects.
The PHILIPPINES have long way
to travel before they catch up with
their mother country.

Henry, Mascot of the
Australian Flying Corps

When the men of the fourth
squadron of the Australian Flying
Corps left Franco, they took with
them a sugar bag. Inside the bag
was the mascot of the squadron, a
curly headed little boy, with a
merry smile, wearing an Australian
uniform. Officially. "Ilenry' was a
sugar bag; unollicially every officer
and airman was his friend. Henry
is now in Australia, in the charge
of two foster fathers, who Will
teach him to be a farmer when he
leaves school. When that day
comes, he will find nearly &l00 in
the bank, and, if he needs anything
more, the officers of the fourth
squadron will see that he gets it.
Moreover he is a close friend Of
the Queensland Premier, who first
made his acquaintance when he

seys on the deck of the tro0pShip,
bound for Australia.

quite alone in the world, Henry
attached himself to a French

Henry was granted II days leave

London and its sequel thus: Mem

On his return he was promoted a
