dent Wilson wrote many notes without
appreciably improving the Mexican sit
uation." President Harding made no
pcrccptible Roadway in his negotiations
with the representatives of the Obre-
gon government until he resorted to the
direct method whereby the two countries
have at last got together"
lust what was the basis for the agree
ment the dispatches reporting the re-
sumption of relations do not Say-and
this omission is due, of course. to the
go into details. However. the lack OF
specific explanation is not to be de-
piorcd the all-important fact is that
the two countries have reached an agre-
ment on the matters that were at issue.
Also important in 4 potential way is
that the process of threshing out the
differences that had long kept the
United States and Mexico apart was not
attended by any such unpleasantness
as that which has almost invariably
marked the interchange OF notes in
which necessarily conflicting claims were
aired.
The matters az issue between the
United States and Mexico were OF a
highly delicate nature. But as the con-
ferences proceeded, friendly feeling be-
tween the two nations was developed,
so that no harm would have been done
even if the conferees had failed to reach
an understanding among themselves. On
the other hand, every time any of the
ally nations has dispatched repara-
tons note, the countries to which it was
addressed were provoked rather than
soothed, and felt that they must write
replies in kind-or worse.
Ii the nations OF Europe would ap-
proach, their common problems in the
friendly, informal way employed so sue
ccssfully by the American-Mexican con-
ferees, perhaps they, too, might come to
an understanding. At least the adoption
Of such method would have the mega
tive virtue of not adding fuel to the
flames.

AN EXAMPLE FOR EUROPE

the success of the American-M Mexican
conferences on the differences between
the two countries may have broader
significance than that which it bears
upon its face. Naturally the first
thoughts of Mexicans and Americans
will be that the resumption OF diplo-
matte relations will be mutually bene-
fetal to their respective countries in a
material way. This effect is not to be
discounted; it is highly important. But
the eyes of European nations have been
upon the conferences and although that
attention may have been due to their
interest in material affairs which would
be affected by American recognition Of
the Oregon government nevertheless
the success of the method employed to
reach this international agreement might
well have an exemplary effect upon the
countries that have vainly tried to com
pose their own differences by other
means.
1t may be recalled that in her reply
to the latest British reparations note
Belgium expressed dissatisfaction with
the method of negotiation which the
ally nations have been using, and sug-
gested that it be discarded in favor OF
personal conversations
The outcome OF the American Mexican
conferences ought to be seized upon by
the Belgian government for exemplary
purposes. Not only the ally nations OF
Europe, but American administrations
as well, have achieved little in the field
iof diplomacy by underwriting. Presi-

At once she returned to her room !;
but the little scene was not without
results. In the first place it i'm
planted feeling of injury in Ned,
whose habits of mind made him sim
gularly open to suggestion; and in
the second it left Mrs. Hardenworth
with a distinct prejudice against
Bess. She was in decided ill-humor
until tea time, when she again joined
Ned and Lenore on the deck.
None Of the three could resist a
growing elation, a holiday mood such
as had lately come but rarely and
which was wholly worth celebrating.
Its rare day." Ned announced
solemnly.
"And heavens! We haven't christ
ened the ship" Lenore added drolly.
"Children, children. Not yet a
day out! But you mustn't overdo
it. either Of you!" Mrs. Hardenworth
shook her finger to caution them.
Now, Ned, have the colored man
bring three glasses and water. I'd
prefer ginger ale with mine if you
don't mind-I'm dreadfully old-fash-
iOned in that regard"
Bess made the very sensible re-
solve to avoid Ned's society and that
of his two guests just as much as
possible. She saw at once they were
not her kind of people; and only I'M
pleasantness would result from her
intercourse with them.
And her decision to avoid the three
aristocrats stood her in good stead
before the night was done, saving
her as bitter a moment as any that
had oppressed her in all the steep
paths of her life. Just after the din
ner call had sounded. Lenore. Ned,
and Mrs. Hardenworth had had

dining saloon.

Mrs. Hardenworth began. "Who's

I'm afraid the captain has to mind

Miss Gilbert seems to fill the

CAN'T WE HELP?

Sorrows and cares will always come
To care-burdened fathers and mothers,
But of all the griefs, there is one.
Harder to bear than all others.
When the death an. comes. on bend.
ed wing,
To bear a loved one home.
The grief is hard, but can be borne.
For they know they are safe when
gone.
But when the children leave the home
nest,
And go out into the world one by one.
Away from the love of parents care
Ills then the real sorrow is known.
For a mothers eye sees pitfalls not
few,
And fathers eye sees the world too
plain;
Oh, they know the gaise of sin and
crime
That may take them so far they will
come not again. .
A boy is no longer safe in this world,
There's too much around him to lure;
And a young girls life is hard indeed.
For the pleasures of sin are ever
reckoning TO her.
Yet if all would work together awhile,
To guard our girls and boys,
Each fathers and mothers griefs and
cares
Would be changed from sorrows to
joys.

WHERE 1 WANT TO LIVE.

In charming little village
Built among the Texas hills.
Where there's peace and plenty
Remote from grinding mills.
Is where l want to live.
Where birds sing unmolestcd
In the hedges growing wild;
Where buttercups and violets
Lift up their heads and smile.
Is where l want TO live.
Where tender hearts. like. jewels,
Are found in rugged frames;
Where men seek less for riches
Than for honest, manly fame.
Is where / want to live.
Where children grow like lilies :.
Untouched by life's travail:
Where old respected customs
Against the new prevail.
Is where / want to live.
Where good old age is reverence
And worn with honest pride;
Where women walk the narrow pat
And keep on virtues side.
Is where / want to live.
Where strong men live untarnishc
BY the evils of today;
Where every man is brother
To his neighbor cross the way.
Is where / want TO live.

TYPICAL AMERICAN AID

One OF the greatest catastrophes OF
modern times, perhaps the greatest OF
its kind Of all times, has befallen Japan.
The government of the United States
has risen quickly to the emergency.
And now comes the real test of Amer
ica's greatness: The President has
called upon the people for cooperation
in the task in which the government has
taken the initiative. American citizens
are asked to contribute to funds that
will be devoted to the relief OF suffer
ing-to feed. clothe shelter and pro-
tect from disease the thousands who
have been set adrift, penniless. by the
earthquake and fire and tidal waves that
have made the Flowery Kingdom land
of misery.
The promptness with which the United
States government launched its relief en-
terprise was fully in keeping with Amer
ica's traditions. This country has ever
given to those in distress the most eff
fective kind of sympathy. Happily. too,
it has almost invariably been able finan-
cially to meet such situations. And per-
haps it is more fully able now than ever
before; certainly its present capacity for
affording relief to stricken Japan is
greater than that OF any other nation.
1t is reported that some OF the nations
of Europe will make contributions 10
Tighten the burdens which Fate has so
suddenly heaped upon the Japanese. But
there is not nation in the whole of
Europe that has any great surplus of
wealth above its own immediate needs.
Not only did the recent war impoverish
the countries in that part of the world,
but the policies which they have been
pursuing since the war have been like
millstones about their necks.
So, it is to America, peace-loving, I'M
revengeful, wealthy, that the Japanese
must look most largely for actual help
in the grave situation that has come upon
them. The most that other nations can
give is an abstraction; America alone
is able to back her expressions OF SYM
pathy with a large measure OF con-
crete aid.
The circumstances OF Gissimilarity be-
tween the two nations and their respec-
tive people makes all the more signifi-
can't both the promptness of Our aid and
the extent to which it is to be carried.
Our government did not wait for the call
for help; its action, when the first news
of the earthquake was received i'll this
country, was almost autOmatic-it was
so speedy. And doubtless the American
people will be as generous and thorough
as their government was alert and swift.
Unstinting with its relief in this catas-
trophe, as it has been whenever calls
for relief were not based upon untoward
political claims, the United States will
develop the character by which it is
best known to all the peoples OF the
earth. And the measure of its efforts
will not be the prospects for reward
No thought of reward enters into this
country's efforts to help the deserving
upon whom misfortune has fallen-no
thought of earthly reward, at any rate
and those efforts are given as freely
to the yellow race as to the white.
Thus does America merit the conf
dence which foreign peoples, although
they may dislike some OF her political
policies, are coming more and more to

DOOM OF THE LEAGUE

dispatch from Geneva reports that
a host of the smaller European states will
withdraw fro mthe League of Nations
unless the aggression of Italy, as repre-
scented by the seizure OF the Island OF
Corfu. is checked. 1t is also stated that
the ajority of Geneva this meaning,
no doubt the majority OF the members
of the League Council-"seems to be
against Italys policy OF continued occu-
patton of Corfu"
Such information affords an impress
sive commentary upon the confidence
WHICH some people have reposed in the
League Of Nations. If one can conceive
any circumstances or conditions under
which it would be proper. in accordance
with the League covenant, for that i'll
stitution to intervene in an international
dispute and prevent war, then it would
seem that such circumstances and condi-
tons have arisen as a result of the as
s9ssination of five Italians at the hands
of Greeks and Italy's retaliation in the
bombardment and seizure of Corfu.
Irrespective OF Italy's contention. this
seems to be the view not only of the
League Council as whole, but of most
of the member nations as well. There
fore, il the League had any inherent
power at all to enforce the covenant,
one might think that it could not pos
sibly have better opportunity than the
present one to exercise such power
Yet it has been made fairly obvious
in the cable dispatches-if it was not
previously plain-that the League can
do nothing. conclusive without Italy's
consent A contract which holds good
only when all parties to it are in perfect
accord, and does not protect each of them
against exigencics affecting the desire;
OF the other parties. is like a commercial
guaranty which falls to pieces the first
time the guarantor is called upon tc
make good"
No wonder the smaller states O
Europe are contemplating Withdrawal
from the League. The only wonder i:
that some of them, if not all, did no
withdraw long ago. There was ample
cause for such action on their part wher
the ally nations began to put differen
and conflicting interpretations upon tn,
Treaty of Versailles.
If Italy should change her mind, anC
agree to let the League settle her dis
putc with Greece, such a development
would not prove that the League haC
any inherent power to prevent war. 1t
impotence has already become evident
it would have no more power to proven
the Italians and the Greeks from taking
up arms against each other than it ha'
to prevent Italy from Selling Corfu.
, The prospect. ii the smaller states o
Europe arc sincere in their professed in
tcntion to withdraw from the Leagu
unless it checks Italy's aggression, i
that the Leagues nominal authorit
, will soon be on par with its actua
power. which is nil. Then the worl'
, will be better off for having rid itsel
of a fiction which has stood in the wa.
| of the adoption OF a possibly effectiv
method of bringing the nations to reali
cation of their interdependence.
