Washington, the Capital City,
was the subject that Col. French
talked on before the children at City
hall Tuesday afternoon and the au-
ditorium was crowded to its cacpac-
ity. Views Of the Capital were shown
and the many points Of interest
were pointed out to the children and
explained by the speaker. The adj
dresses have been instructive as well
as interesting. for all the historic
places that are pointed out on a
sightseeing trip to the Capital
were shown the children By Col.
French. who used a pencil pointing
out the various places. Questions
were asked and answered by the chill
dren, and great enthusiasm was
shown. In the evening the last lee
ture was given at the First Baptist
church when Col. French talked on
Alaska, and the Golden Region OF
the Klondike" There was a very
good attendance there, although the
adults do not seem to be as interest
ed in the lectures as the children.
However a good sum was realized
from the admission fees. which will
be for the Colby Endowment fund.

Mexican Paper Full of
Advice for u. S. Congress

Mexico City. Monday, Nov. A.-The
case surrounding the arrest Of the
American consular p agent. Jenkins,
which has been treated alphabetically on
the part of most Of the newspapers,
furnished the basis for an extra edi-
tion for Ell Universal Monday afternoon.
The newspaper quoted special dis.
patches from Washington and New
York saying in effect that the next ses.
sion of the American Congress might
concern itself Immediately with the
Mexican situation. reviving the possi-
bility Of Intervention and giving alleged
plans of the American government for
military advance against Mexico.
The extra, which was headed "a grave
situation between Mexico and the United
States created no undue stir. Gener-
ally the newspapers seem inclined to
treat the Jenkins affair with much eau
ton.
At the American embassy late today
II was aid that no answer had been re-
ceived from the Mexican government
relative to the American governments
note demanding the release Of Mr.. Jen-
klns. So far as it known here today.
MI. Jenkins remains in the penitentiarv
at Puebia. still refusing to give bail.
dispatches received from PuebIa saw
that Mr.. jenkins release by the author
''ies Is expected from one moment to
another These dispatches also sav
that Federico Cnrdova the bandit. who
is alleged to have headed the b.na
whicn captured Mr.. Jenkins and held
MIN Tor ransom. and Cordova's aide.
Coera. have been located by federal Of
mcers south OF Puebla and that their
capture seems assured.

able to resist the Bolshevik attack
The Yudenitch troops retired in dis
order and sought protection on Es-
thonian territory. Part Of the Rus

settled south Of Narva. Some of the
soldiers have already been disarm-
ed and the remainder will be depriv-
ed Of their weapons in the near fu-
ture. l.

willingly obey orders Of the Estho-
man chief and are now protecting
the positions below Narva. General
Yudenitch and his staff now are un-
employed. The present crucial con-
dition Of the Russian troops was
caused by the incompetence Of the
