MEXIGOFORESEEN
Reply to Note Will Make a
Rupture Unavoidable.
CARRAHZA CABINET IS FIRM
Would Reaffirm Order* to Attack U.
8. Troop*—Other Official* Plan Da
mand for Evacuation.
While administration officials In
Washington manifested Impatience
over the delay of the Carranza
government In replying to the Amerl
can demand for an explanation of 11s
purposes, private advli ea from Mexico
City Indicated a defiant answer was
bring prepared there.
The state department has had no
direct Information a* to when the Mex
lean response will be sent or how II
would be transmitted. Secretary L«n
sing called this fact to the attention
of Hllseo Arredondo, Mexican ambas
sudor designate, and Indicated he did
not understand the delay In view ol
the assertion In the American note
of last Sunday that an early an*wei
was expected. Mr. Arredondo, who had
called to announce formally the r»
lease of the Carrlzal prisoners, Bald
he had not heard from bis government
on the subject.
Although Special Agent Uodgers, al
Mexico City, was informed two days
ago that he might expect to receive
the Mexican note that day, he has nol
mentioned It In later despatches. Some
official believed It possible the com
munication would come through Arre
dondo, and that its actual delivery
would be conditioned on the situation
at the time he received It. Efforts al
mediation, favored by Carranza offl
clals, led to the belief the reply would
be withheld at the last moment U
there seemed any chance that 'ttty
Washington government would listen
to such proposals. '
Private messages, sent by persons
In a position to speak with some au
thority as to Ooneral Carranza's attl
tudu expressed the convlcUon that a
break between the two governments
was unavoidable. There appeared tc
be complete agreement among
hers of the Mexican cabinet. It win
Indicated, that orders to General Tre
vino to attack troops moving In any
direction except toward the border be
reaffirmed. Some de facto officials
wished to go farther and couple with
this passage In the Mexican reply a
defiant demand that American troops
1 e withdrawn Immediately from Mexl
can soli.
The unconclllatory character of n
memorandum published In Mexlcc
City, specifically denying all the alle
gallons of the previous American note
In answer to Carranr.ft's demand foi
withdrawal of the troops, appeared 'tc
bear out this forecast. Intimation;
have reached officials, liowevor, thai
the dofacto government may give
strong assurances In Its note that bor
dor raids will he prevented by fc o
strong patrol of Mexican troopa, If the
Unltod Sla es will withdraw its forces
It was said at the Mexican embassy
that 50,000 Carranza troops now arc
available for border patrol duty.
Another communication was sent tc
the state department by Arredondo
protesting against the shooting of a
Mexican customs Inspector by Ameri
can soldiers stationed at Ysleta, Texas
tre,.. .('onajjj Oarcla
at Kl Paso. According to flarcla, the
soldiers fired across the Rio Orande
at two customs officers "without any
provocation whatever."
There Is every reason to believe thai
Mr, Wilson will act promptly If the
Carranza government formnlly accepts
the construction placed upon its ordert
to (leneral Trevlno In Secretary l.an
sing's note and which It has been
asked either to affirm or withdraw
Mr. I.anslng characterized the order an
act of deliberate hostility.

Truth and Tact Belong Together In the
Strongest and Finest Character
By LYMAN P. POWELL, Proident of Hobart College
D . O
THE most we can soy of right character is that those who have it do
what is regarded as the proper thing wherever they may be. The
best men have characters most sensitive. The worse, we all agree,
are hard.
THE REAL PROBLEM FOR US, WHO HAVE TO LIVE TOGETHER IN
SOCIETY, IS TO MAINTAIN THE PROPER LOVE OF TRUTH AND TO
PRACTICE TACT IN IT# EXPRESSION.
No matter what character may signify, it must hunger for the truth.
It must have the straightforwardness and directness which indicate the
presence of tho truth. It must have a highly visualized imagination to
seek for truth still undiscovered. It must hold what it thinks to be the
truth, no matter how the world around may differ.
Hum
Many people of the noblest character confuse this truth tendency
with the crassness which goes muddling through, wounding feelings
AND NEVER MORE CERTAIN TO FINI) TRUTH THAN THOSE
WE CALL MORE TACTFUL. "
. If you c£?e more for the truth than for yourself you will follow ways
that lead to the acceptance of the truth. There is a kind of selfishness
in insisting on acceptance of the truth because you say it is the truth.
There is always danger, even among the best men, that conceit may fret
confused with truth. People cannot long be fooled. They will shun the
man who tears tact away from its connection with the truth. Truth and
tact belong together in thi strongest and tli* 6-«\st character.

THE CITY
ff?ffTtTTTTTTTTTr T»*" _
PLACE OF ARCHITECTS
, IN CITY PLANNING.
■' i i
NNdtd In Development of Civie Ideal*
Say* William W. Emmart.
William W. Emmart, writing in the
National Architect on "The Architect
and the Community," says;
"Ail things seem to move in circles,
yet the interval of recurrences may at
times be so long that the movements
are not readily Keen. For centuries all
social effort has been more or less pro
nouncedly individualistic, but today we
are in a measure turning back to the
principles of the limes of the patri
archs. Under such conditions the gov
ernment of the city must become some
thing more than a restraining aud pro
tecting force, for cities are no longer
sovereign states and do not wage war
one against the other. Their functions
are limited to conserving the health,
morals aud commercial Interests of the
people. City government is no longer
military in spirit, but a centralized so
cial force, and since the nation lias
also passed from the earl* construc
tive stages, when the lawmaker was
the all Important factor, so have we
also come to the time when the law
yet should in great measure give way
to the constructive expert.
"The architect, because of Ills artistic
and technical training, has -a greater
measure of res|(ousibllity than the
average citizen, aud he should be a
forceful factor in all movements for
civic reform and advancement. That
he has sljmklly failed to recognize the
obligation is too often evident. At a
conference on city planning the archi
tect is noticeable by his absence, aud
in most cities a public discussion of
harbor improvements, railroad tcrmi
nals and the like will bring out the
fact that apparently the architect, with
but few exceptions, has given little or
no consideration to such projects.
Even housing reform is passed by with
much the same Indifference.
"While all such matters may not be
directly 'grist to the mill,' yet It is In
disputable that the architect who does
study such problems and takes part in
their discussion Is both broadening his
outlook and Ideals and emphasizing
the Importance of his profession In a
way that must ultimately work to his
betterment. There are still far too
many people possessed of the fancy
that the architect is a mere maker of
pictures.
"The city needs the architect's help
in the development of a right civic
ideal just us much as It needs the help
of the engineer, social worker or bank
er, and the architect must give this
help even at the risk of being out of
favor with the powers that be if he
would secure for his profession the re
spect due it from his fellow "citizens."
GIVING A TOWN WIDE RANGE.
Dirty Towns Are In Class With In
dividuals Who Don't Keep Clean.
A town or community that doesn't
clean up in the spring and doesn't
maintain a decent degree of cleanliness
throughout the whole year Is in the
same class with those Individuals who
never clean up for Sunday and who
themselves have never got on friendly
term# with the cleansing power of wa
ter. Their personal appearance tells,
if anything, a worse story. Everybody
knows the wide range that he wants
to give such people, while as far as
they are concerned they are 'perfectly
agreeable to themselves.
That's Just It. Not even towns are
always aware when they are disagree
able to other towns and are given the
wide range by people who If they had
been attracted by the town's cleanli
ness, healthfulness and otherwise good
looks would have made desirable citi
zens. Towns, like people, are guilty of
that weakness that makes other towns
and other people's filth look more filthy
than their own, that makes them tol
erate their own filthy conditions, which
would be nauseous to other people.
But there is one standard for a town
and for Individuals as well that per
sonal relation or association cannot
blind, that will stand the test whether
viewed by visitors or people at home
that is, cleanliness. Clean streets aud
alleys, clean food shops, grocery stores
and markets, clean restaurants and ho
tels, clean offices and public places,
clean bouses and back yards, clean
milk and water, no breeding places
for files, no surface closets where flies
are ndmltted—this Is cleanliness which
is healthfulness.—North Carolina State
Board of Health.
Community Housekeeping Co-operation
Community co-operation In house
keeping la a profitable practice. In the
opinion of Mbut Frances L. Brown, di
rector of homo economics, division of

"The housekeepers of a community,"

dry ahould be open to all members of
the club at some time. The machine

always satisfactory. Equipment for a

NEIGHBORHOOD CLUB

Llat of Community Need* Will Bo
Btudied by Member*.
Glenslde's Neighborhood club, a eub
urban organization recently organized
In the vicinity of Philadelphia, plana
departmental work covering every
phase of community life, with division
al branches for literary work and music
and current events, with the ultimate
object of the erection of a clubhouse, a
"neighborhood house," equipped with
library, gymnasium and all the essen
tials. With nearly 200 residents of
Glensldc, many of .whom are property
owners and the major number of whom
are representative of all the different
businesses and professions, already In
terested, the Initial activities will be
prompt
That the Neighborhood club plans to
be an aid to the constituted government
of the city's suburb Is shown by the
array of community topics, "all of
which require the consideration of a
united community."
Transportation facilities, good roads
and clean strgets, disposal of garbage
and refuse, prevention of promiscuous
throwing about of waste paper and cir
culars, legislation of local character,
public health, pure food and home eco
nomics, tree planting, beautiflcatlon of
lawns and yards, care of vacant lots,
protection of birds, ridding the commu
nity of mosquito and fly nuisances,
clean entertainment for all and espe
cially for children; celebration of all
holidays, particularly the Fourth of
July; use of school plants and good citi
zenship In general.
Specifically, the Glenslde Neighbor
hood club will "get busy" immediately
with community movements as applied
to beautlflcatlon of the lawns, the elim
ination of the mosquito, u fly swatting
campaign and will take an active Inter
est In all local legislation of the boards
of commissioners in both Ablngton and
Cheltenham townships, as the division
al lines of these run through Glenslde.
Not far distant, action is contemplated
as applied to transportation facilities.
One of the most important matters for
consideration will be to have the differ
ent home and school associations act
together In older that the best effect
possible can be attained.
THE FLOWER CITY.
Roohester Committee Justifies by Pop'
ular Action the Lovely Bynonym.
The Rochester chamber of com
merce 'has a flower city committee,
whose purpose it Is to further Justify
by popular action the synonym for
Rochester —the . Flower City. This
demonstrates that the chamber of com
merce is as much interested In the
homes of Rochester as- in its work
shops. The method Is described in the
American City by Roland B. Wood
ward, secretary of the Rochester
chntnber of commerce.
First of all. members of the commit
toe prepared a pamphlet containing
AM OLD FABHIONKD GAItDEN.
general planting suggestions and a list
of plants suitable for garden use In
Rochester. Tills was printed by the
chamlier of commerce and distributed
In response to requests. The demand
for It was so great that the first edi
tion was quickly exhausted, and a sec
ond edition was Issued. The educa
tional Influence of these publications
was undoubtedly very great
The committee next created an ad
visory board, and on Its recommenda
tion the city was divided Into ten dis
tricts. One of these districts included
the downtown business streets, where,
no yards being available for gardens,
the dependence was on the window
box. In each of the other ten districts
a prize was offered for the Ifttst gar
dens on those competing lots that had
less than fifty feet of frontage and an
other prize for the gardens on compet
ing lots having a frontage of fifty feet
or more. Ity this arrangement the
small lot, where the work Is general
ly done by the householder himself,
was not in competition with the large
place, where a trained and paid gar
dener is likely to be in charge. In the
business' district also two prizes were
offered, one for the general building
effect and the other for individual ex
hibition.
In all cases it was required that com
petitors must enter their premises In
the competition before It began. The
responses numbered between 200 and
300, representative of all parts of the
sit}- and of all classes of property.

Casement Is Guilty; Sentenced to Die.
Sir Roger Casement was found guil
ty of high treason In London.
1 The ending of the historic trial
came when the Jury, which had been
out less than an hour, brought In lts
▼erdlct against the prisoner.
Half an hour after the verdict had
been rendered with shaking voice by
the foreman of the Jury, Viscount
Reading, lord chief Justice of England,
with the black cloth by tradition call
ed a cap spread over his head, and
his two assistants In scarlet gowns,
likewise black-capped, pronounced the
sentence of death.
Execution will be by hanging. An
appeal by Casement was later an
nounced by Marshal Francis Doyle, of
Philadelphia, of counsel for the con
victed man. ;
After Casement had been sentenced,
Daniel J. Bailey, the private soldier
who had been held as his accomplice,
was placed In the dock. The court
directed the Jury to return a verdict
of not guilty and Bailey was discharg
ed. It was announced that the crown
had withdrawn the charge against him.
Bailey Is believed to have furnished
useful Information to the prosecution.
