intervention IS
NEAR IN MEXICO
Senator Fall So Indicates In
Telegram Sent To Amer
lean There.
PROBE WILL CONTINUE
President Wilson Has Not Indicated
His Intention Not To Break Off
Diplomatic Relations with
Mexico.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Members Of
the Senate Foreign Relations COM
mittee conferred informally and de-
cided that the investigations of con-
ditions in Mexico by the Senate COM
mittee should be continued in Wash
ington and on the border. The COM
mittee members also approved a tele-
gram sent by Senator Fall of New
Mexico, chairman of the investigating
committee, to H. T. Oliver, an Ameri-
can at Mexico City, in which the sena-
tor said President Wilson had not in
| Heated his intention not to break off
diplomatic relations with the Carranza
government.
The telegram follows:
"Your telegram received. You are
fully authorized to repeat and, if
necessary, publish in Mexico my state
ment to you that although have been
called an interventionist, I am posi-
lively, opposed to armed Intervention
in Mexico except as an absolutely last
resort and that my desire is for some
friendly solution Of pending questions
between the Mexican people and the
government and people of the United
States
''If you publish this statement I In
sist that you publish also tie follow
ing evidence: Truth of above state
ment should be found in the fact that
the committee has given publicity to
Carranza's letters of instructions to
Berlange of June IA and August 10,
1919, showing his active interference
in affairs here. Also of distribution
here by Bonillas, ambassador, and
Mexican consuls of revolutionary lit
erature. Also Of Carranza letter d.
recting Miss Galinda to abuse the
United States and particularly Presi-
dent Wilson. Letters between Next
can officials showing negotiations with
Japan. Also blue book, letters and ex-
pressions abusing President Wilson.
"This action taken to impress upon
the world that in event the Mexican
people themselves do not bring pres
sure to bear upon their present gov
eminent to cease prosecutions of Amer
leans and British and others and un-
warranted interference in affairs in
other countries and enormous paid
propaganda in this country abusing
Americans in Mexico, interfering with
their peace and safety and with our
government here, that some country
will, in my judgment, be compelled to
intervene, possibly by force of arms,
and restore order out of the chaos in
the republic Of Mexico. 1 am exert
ing every effort to bring about such
solution that neither armed inter-
vention nor war may ever be neces-
sary. Remember that in the Presi-
dents letter to me he does not indi-
cate that he will not breaff off rela-
lions and withdraw recognition, but
he is gravely considering the commit
tees memorandum"

NE of the finest things ever
AvE written about Christmas was
the editorial printed 20 years
81 ago by the New York Sun in
answer to the earnest appeal Of a little
New York girl to be TOLD whether
Santa Claus really exists. Its author,
Frank P. Church, was an accomplished
journalist and wrote much on many
subjects, but his fame will rest chiefly
on this beautiful setting forth of an
eternal truth. With DR.. Clement Clarke
Moore's "A Visit From st. Nicholas, +"
it is one of the great classics of the
Christmas season.
The answer to the eternal question
as printed in the Sun follows:
eve take pleasure in answering at
once, and thus prominently, the COM
munication below, expressing at the
same time our great qualification that
it's faithful author is numbered among
the friends of the Sun:
Dear Editor-I am eight years old
Some of my little friends say there is
no Santa Claus. Papa says: If you
see it in the Sun it's so. Please tell
me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?
VIRGINIA O'HANLON,
lib West Ninety-first Street.
Virginia, your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected by
the skepticism of skeptical age. They
do not believe except they see. They
think that nothing can be which is not
comprehensive by their little minds.
All minds, Virginia, whether they be
mems or children's, are little In this
great universe of ours man is mere
insect, an ant, in his intellect, as COM
pared with the boundless world about
him, as measured by the intelligence
capable of grasping the whole truth
and knowledge.
'Yes, Virginia. there is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exist, and
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1919-12-12

you know that they abound and give
to your life it's highest beauty and joy.
Alas! How dreary would be the world
If there were no Santa Claus 1t would
be as dreary as if there were no Vir-
ginias. There would be no. childlike
faith then, no poetry, no romance, to
make tolerable this existence. We
should have no enjoyment except in
sense and sight. The eternal light with
which childhood fills the world would
be. extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You
might as well not believe in fairies !!
You might get your papa to hire men
to watch in all the chimneys on Christ
mas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even
if they did not see Santa Claus COM
ing down, what would that prove? No
body sees Santa Claus, but that is no
sign that there is no Santa Claus. The
most real things in the world are those
that neither children nor men can see.
Did you ever see fairies dancing on the
lawn? Of course not; but that's no
proof that they are not there. Nobody
can conceive or imagine all the won
ders that are unseen and unseeable in
the world.
"You may tear apart the baby's rat
tie and see what makes the noise in
side, but there is a veil covering the
unseen world which not the strongest
man, nor even the united strength of
all the strongest men that ever lived,
could tear apart. Only faith, fancy,
poetry, love, romance, can push aside
that curtain and view and picture the
supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is
it all real: All, Virginia, in all this
world there is nothing else real and
abiding.
mo Santa Claus! Thank God, he
lives and he lives forever. A thousand
years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times
10000 years from now, he will con-
tinue to make glad the heart of child
hood"

APPROVED DESIGN OF STREET
Papers Of Thomas jefferson Show His
Connection With Laying Out Capt.
tails Great Avenue.

Among the papers of Thomas JEFF
ferson in the library of congress there
is the bill Of Pontius d. STEELE, in
1907, to Thomas Munroe, superintend-
ent of the city of Washington, for "a
supper povided for all the workmen
engaged in the public buildings, on the
completion Of the south wing of the
capitol, 1877 persons, at $1.25 per
head" The supper was given at the
capitol. The bill was approved by B.
Henry Latrobe, superintendent of pub
lie buildings, who calls the event "the
raising supper"
A particularly interesting letter is
one from President Jefferson to
Superintendent Munroe, dated Monti-
cello, March q, 1903, referring to
Thornton's original design for Pennsyl-
vania avenue; which Jefferson amend
ed and approved. This approved de-
sign shows a gravel road for carriages,
38 feet in width, bordered on each side
by a space fl feet wide for tree-lined
walks, then a brick pavement 20 feet
in width. Jefferson explains: "One
reason of preference is that this agrees
with the present disposition of the
Pennsylvania avenue. 1t will allow US
also next autumn either to plant our
outer elms in the same line with the

changed the aspect completely. You
will certainly agree with me after
have explained to you that the one
known as Andrew Room was no other
than the equerry who had undertaken
to find the--young woman"
Barnes drew long breath. His
mind was made up. He had decided
to pool issues with the secret agent,
but not until he was convinced that
the result of their cooperation would
in no way inflict a hardship upon the
young woman who had appealed to
him for help He was certain that she
was the fair propaganda described
by Sprouse.
"And the young woman, what of
her? She would, in any case, be held
for examination and"
"My dear sir, may as well tell you
now that she is loyal subject, and,
far from being in bad grace at court,

sole purpose of finding ner and induc-
ing her to return with him to Paris"

swell" began Barnes. introducing a
harsh note into his voice, Il should
say that if she is guilty Of receiving
this stolen property she ought to be
punished. Jail is the place for her,
Mr., Sprouse."
Sprouse put down his coffee cup
rather suddenly. A queer pallor came
into his face.
"You do not understand the situa-
ton. Haven't / made it plain to you

that she is innocent of any intent to
do wrong?"
"You have said so, Mr.. Sprouse, but
your idea of wrong and mine may not
jibe."
"There cannot be two ways of look
ing at it, SIR" said Sprouse, after a
moment "She could do no wrong"
Whereupon Barnes reached his hand
across the table and laid it on
Sprouse's. His eyes were dancing.
.aThat's just what want to be sure
about" he said. "It was my way of
finding out your intentions concerning
her."
"What do you mean?"
"Come with me to my ROOM" said
Barnes, suppressing his excitement.
II think can tell you where she is
and great deal more that you ought
to know"
In the little room upstairs he told
| the whole story. The little man lis
tened without so much as single
word Of interruption or Interrogation.
Somewhat breathlessly Barnes came
| to the end.
"And now, Mr.. Sprouse, what do
you make Of it all?" he inquired.
Sprouse leaned back in his chair,
suddenly relaxing. II am completely
at sea-" he said, and Barnes looked
| ar him in sunrise.
"By Jove, / thought it would all be
as clear as day to you. Here is your
man and also your woman, and the
travelling bag full Of"
Fright you are" interrupted Sprouse
THAT is all simple enough. But my
dear Barnes, can you tell me what Mr..
Secretary Loeb's real name is? Why
has he established himself so close to
the Canadian line, and why the mo-
Utilization? refer to his army of
huskies."
"Heirs apparent usually have some
sort Of a bodyguard, don't they?"
Sprouse was staring thoughtfully at
the ceiling. When he finally lowered
his eyes it was to favor Barnes with
a deep, inscrutable smile.
