Reports are conflicting on the fate of the 500 men in the fed eral garrison, some stating that two- thirds fought their way through the rebel lines and arrived at Acambaro, where they are being reinforced by columns under General Escohar, who is seeking to prevent rebel incursions into Guanjuata.
 Refugees assert the rebels suffered 100 casualties during the eight days lighting around Morelia and that these were exceeded by the casualties of the next two days.

| that people are not half as unfriendly
 as he supposed they were; that they have been looking, perhaps, for this very proper humility on his part, be- fore they could get themselves to look
 at him with the slightest amount of
 compassion.
 A little news story says that the
 attitude of William Hohenzollern,
 once emperor or Germany, is daily be
 coming more genial toward his fellow
 townspeople. It is said he visits the
 village of Doorn daily for tea or din-
 ner and he is becoming more sociabie,
 paying and receiving many visits each
 week.
 A theory of life, in order to be
 worth anything at all. must be work able under all conditions. The giving q man another chance" is one of these theories. Even today there may be
 folks who believe that William. out ct all the men of history. should be one who should never be given an- other chance It is impossible to think of our taking his hand ill friendship and expressing any sorrow for him. We just cant see ourselves doing it. But may it not be quite pos sible that this man, once so arrogant that he stood by the side of the Divine Being in his own thoughts, is begin ming to feel creeping into his heart that sense of humility, that apprecia- ton Of the wrongs he has done, which pave the way for step in the direc- ton of seeking forgiveness? Possibly there is still in his mind desire for the old autocratic power he once en- loved. Perhaps he does not believe that he has done wrong. But those to whom the preachings of charity are dear may feel, possibly, that in inter- course with human hearts this once arch criminal is seeking the peace which comes from Divine forgiveness as expressed often in the eyes of his fellow men. And if such be the ease, few will stammer over the words: Give him another chance" not to use others for his own selfish pur- poses through the force of war, put rather to find peace and happiness or at least content in the hearts of men and women,

Perhaps the most generally accept Cd theory approved by people Of charitable minds. is that which ad- yises giving q man another chance" Usually the suggestionsts made about some down and outer who. having transgressed and aIienated his friends, finds himself in pretty bad way. At first. quite probably. he is inclined to consider himself abused, smoothing oyer his owp faults. and accentuating the evidences of lack Of gratitude shown him by some whom he may have befriended in days past.
 After Bft. however. and after the man who is on the tOboggan realizes that he has made a bit too much Of bis former friends c0olness and moi enough of his own weaknesses. he stops telling so much of his own sad story" and emphasizing so vehement ly how badly his scauaint- ances have treated him. and begins to see that he has 10 do something himself before he will have any right to claim the friendship of others. The first thing he has 10 aa is to feel properly the extent of his trausgression--to feel the proper amount Of remorse for the thing he
 
 has done which brought about the present crises. and not to blame other. for hss epn faults. Ii Is then he finds

HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA

Parents of the pupils of the Hlgh
 school will be asked this week
 whether or not they favor the es- tablishment of cafeteria at that ln-
 stitution. with the intention of sery- ing luncheon to the pupils. The par
 ents. who are the ones in positions to
 have the chief say in the matter
 will quite properly ask themselves two
 questions before voting. It is not
 small matter. It involves more than
 deciding something about students
 meals: something pertaining to an af-
 fair of convenience.
 The first and most important ques-
 ton these parents will ask themselves
 will be whether or not they want thelr
 children, and want to encourage other children to remain away from
 home another hour in the day'
 The tendency is, of course, for young people to return home
 when there's no other place to go" This is not said in cynicism, It is merely the statement of the present day tendency. It may be said that it is quite natural that bows and girls would enjoy this hour shept with their associates: that the narent at home would have an "easier" day if she did not have to pre- pare luncheon for all the children; that young people should be en- coura sed. if they must remain away from home, to mingle with other young people engaged in the same work that is theirs, also.
 But it will be said, on the other hand, that the young people would not necessarily occupy all of this hour in discussing school work with their fellow students; that no very eleVating discourse would be indulged in, that the result of establishing cafeteria In the school would be quite like starting
 
 Il high school student in the life oi leaving home in the morning and not i returning until the days work is done, l quite as adult workers are often forced to do, and. finally. that this | step would be one more movement l which would seem to encourage the present tendency to consider the home the least important institution Of life, and its influence something not to be reekoned with as in years past.
 The second, and very practical aues,ion. will be whether or not the want to vote to add sa,ooo to the large school budget in order that the cafeteria may be fitted out, such sb.ooO to be paid by the parents and other taxnayers in addition to the probably increased pocket money he establishment Of the cafetefia night neccssitate. For, Of course, were Inc cafeteria to be established, it would be pretty difficult for any par mt to refuse to allow his or her son ,r daughter to patronize it, as others ,atronize would it. Parents want their ,hildren to have all that others have md they do not care to have their ,wn unable to indulge in the con- .cniences offered to and enjoyed by ,ther young people. |l
 This is the parents business to de- .ide. The Herald, however. takes the ibertv of expressing the opinion that NC arc not ready to discard the home yet.

IN CALIFORNIA. TOO

Every time representative of the Herald drives over Clayton crossing 1t is quite likely that he will feel a bit of pride in the fact that "his news paper spent a great deal of space time and thought on helping to obtain that safe crossing over tracks where there had previously been many fatal accidents. In future years. when New Britain grows to be great city, properly developed, with stable property values, a representative of this newspaper will feel properly satis- fled that tho Herald was the first to suggest that New Britain ought to be zoned, as other progressive cities, con- ducted by men of foresight, are being zoned. There are other matters. too which now and in later years. will bring satisfaction to representatives Of the Herald because of the part this newspaper has taken in bringing eer- tain improvements to the city. And the accomplishments came, all of them, because this newspaper kept 'eyeriastingly at it.
 There is one more--one Of the many improvement that would bring like satisfaction. It would be pleasant 10 feel, every time such representatives of the Herald saw d person walking along the highway at night on the left hand side, that quite probably that person was walking in the safe side Of the road because of the cam paign the Herald had conducted te let the people know the left hand side, at night, where the pedestrian s fac ing the traffic nearest him. is the safe side. This matter is not touched upon merely to fill up space, but, as stated by the chairman Of the public safety committee of the California state au- tomobile association. the increasing number Of accidents caused by vehi- cles from the roar makes it ncees- sary to keep cyerlastingiy at" the subject before the danger is recog- nized.
 No automobile driver, worried over the safety Of pedestrians. falls to breathe a sigh of relief when. having dimmed his lights or having been blinded by the lights Of an approach ing car he is in a position 10 see again his right side of the road. IT a pedestrian had been there, during that time Of temporary blindness, the pedestrian would have been struck and no one would haze been to blame. The pedestrian thought the driver could see him. the driver thought the pedestrian knew that he could not. and that the latter would get out of the way The only way to make walk ing along thn dark highway safe at night is for the pedestrian 10 walk on the left side. facing the traffic; then he will be able 10 step out of the way of an approaching car if tine driver. for any reason. can not see him,
