100000 pesos we're paid in al, ance
to the Mexican revolutionary govern
ment at TampicO upon the request Of
Manuel PeIaez. de facio governor Of

The payments were made under pro-

assurance that the Washington govern
ment would see that such an advance
collection would not he mnde again,
according to the information. The re-
quest Of Pelaez WAS reported as fol-
lows:
''In view OF the abnormal situation

Indicate that the revolut.onists have
much TO do before stable govern
ment can he established. Military
leaders are reported in various parts
of The republic with small forces of
men under arms. either SIN loyal to
the Carranaz regime or for uther rea-
sons hostile to the tie facto govern
meDt These groups are recognized by
Mexican observers here TO be possible
nuclei for the organizations of new
revolts. Representatives of the new
government, however, minimize their
importance, asserting part of them al
ready are negotiating for terms, while
others ore on The defensive.
Francisco villa, whose force of men
is variously estimated at from few
hundred to several thousand. is Ieck-
oued the most important of the inde-
pendent leaders.
Gen. Candido Aguilar, the late pres-
idents son-in-luw, who during the
past five years has become a military
leader of the first order in Mexico,
still is IN the field. He was last re-
ported at JalapilIa, on the outskirts of

cordlng to the latest reports. With

Aguilar's subordinates, with force of
100 men.

WAITING FOR IT

Are you waiting for something 20 turn
up?
Don't
There is every chance in the world
against you Even the most reckless gam
bier wouldn't want TO bet on such odds.
Don't fancy for single moment that
something is going to turn up TO improve
your condition or TO better your financial
standing unless you put lot OF effort
into helping il turn Sitting and waiting
wont do Things on t happen that way,
that's all. It's no use being optimistic
about the impossible
There IS an old saying that everything
comes To him who waits Well, if it does.
it's merely to pass him by beyond reach.
Waiting is easy lot easier than going
after the thing you are waiting for But It
ends whore it began, iii more waiting
This is not to say that unexpected
things do not turn up, and that the un-
looked for will not sometimes knock at
your gate But Il hasn't come because
YOU waited for il II came because you
were after something, because you were
active, not passive. Sometimes when you
20 out after something small. something
bigger falls TO you But you had to 40 out
Sitting waiting would not even have
brought the small thing
Thorpeau said that II you made mouse
trap better than any other mousetrap, the
world would make pathway 70 your door.
That may have been true once. Today ltIs
is more likely To be the man who makes the
second rate trap, but who gets out and
hustles for business, who talks traps and ad-
vertises his perticular trap, who will get
what he wants Simply 10 do something
good and then sit down and wait for recog-
nition will not do. Life is too rushed, too
selfish
But lust 70 sit and wait and not even
make the good thing that Is indeed hope
less Why uld someone else bring YOU
the thing you have not the gumption to go
after yourself No. II you ara waiting for
something TO turn up before YOU start
you'll wait till doomsday
