LONDON, Dec. 4.—It was admitted to- day that the British army in Mesopo- tamia, which had been within striking distance of Bagdad, is in retreat.

Official reports from Turkey previous- ly announced that the British troops had suffered a severe reverse when Turkish reinforcements had been brought up. ‘the fighting in Mesopotamia, while figuring tle in the news from day to day, has been regarded as an important phase of the war. The operations there have been conducted with difficulty. There has been a lack of fresh water. Monitors and similar craft on the Tigris River have aided the British, while camels in large numbers are said to have been used by the land forces. Kut-el Amara is 105 miles south of Hingdad. The defeat of the British puts an end for the time being to their hopes of capturing Bagdad. In their advance they reached and occupled (tesiphon on the Tigris, 18 miles below Bagdad, They were compelled to re- tire on account of lack of water and on attempting to resume the advance on Bagdad were confronted with a strong- “ly refnforced Turkish army.

The October grand ‘ry, {fn its final re- port today to Circuit Judge Cave, after an investigation into graft in city de- partments and the Sheriff's office, rec- ommended a thorough annual audit of the books of all public officers and to that end the enactment of such legisla- tion as may be needed to defray the cost. P To further safeguaid the interests of the city and prevent unauthorized per- sons in the future from collecting mon- ey owing to the city, it is recommended that on the face of all water bills a no- tice be printed that no money is to be paid except at the office. TO prevent traffic in jury warrants, it is recommended that in addition to the lists of jurors who have. served that are furnished to the office of the Circuit Clerk, such lists be furnished to the room clerks, and that no warrants be issued unless they are approved by the courtrooms clerks as well as the deputy sheriffs assigned to the rooms. The report approves all the city in- stitutions except the industrial school and the workhouse. The ceil- ing of the dining room at the work- house is reported to be in bad condi- tiona and repairs are urged on the east quarry fence.

WHITLOCK TO RETURN TO POST WASHINGTON, Dec. 4,—American Minister Whitlock is to return to Brus- sels, Belgium, when he sails from the United States, Dec. 28, on the steamer Rotterdam, it was said officially at the State Department today.

BLOWS SAFE IN PONTIAG BUILDING, CAUGHT IN LIFT He Robber Trapped When Sought to Escape by Locked Corridor Doors. CONFEDERATE IS HUNTED Guests at American Hotel Were Awakened by Explosion in a Saloon. An explosion about 1 o'clock this morning awakened guests at the Amert- can Hotel and attracted policemen to the Pontiac Building, Seventh and Mar- ket streets. They found a safe in the buffet of Herman M. Schuman had been wrecked with nitroglycerin and that the robber? had hid in one of the elevator cages in the main corridor of the build- ing. He was captured. The robber got into the building by “jJimmying” an ‘alley window in a Dil- liard room and bowling alley adjoininxz the saioon. The safe was reached after a section of wcoden partition, separar- ing the saloon from the bowling alley, had been torn out. As the policemen, with drawn re- volvers, advanced on the crouching rob- ber, he threw his own revolver at them and surrendered. He had a four-ounce bottle, containing about one-half ounce of nitroglycerin. He said he was Charles Matthews, 19 years old, a former guedt at the American Hotel. Recover 3167 of $238. Schuman was summoned from his home and told the police that $238 had been taken from the safé. The prisoner had $91 in his possession, $25 of which was found in his hatband. The police found $76 lying on the floor behind the bar, but Schuman said that was in addi- tion to what had been taken from the safe. The police think Matthews had a confederate. ; A cravenette coat, which the robber used to muffle the sound of the explo- sion, was torn into shreds. In his effort to make a quick ‘“‘get away,’ the cracks- man had run into the corridor, thinking he would find the front doors insecure. Instead he encountered a veritable pris- on. The doors were locked and big iron barred gates prevented him from going to an upper floor. Matthews told the police he came to St. Louis two weeks ago to accept a po- sition as salesman with the Haltom Co- operative Co., with which his brother, Homer B. Matthews, is connected. He did not like the work, he said, and de- cided to turn robber. He learned how to blow safes in Cov- ington, Ga., he said, when he fell in with a professional safe robber. The latter showed him how to make nitro- glycerin by boiling dynamite sticks and straining the juice through a handker- chief. He spent his last money and checked out of the American Hotel sev- eral days ago. Since then he had been sharing a room with his brother, a guest at the American. Matthews denied he had a confederate, but as a precaution policemen watched the Pontiac Building all morning in the belief that if there was a second robber he might be hiding in the building, Matthews’ brother and another man, also employed by the Haltom company, were arrested, but there is no evidence connecting them with the robbery, Charles Matthews admitted having blown safes in Covington, Ga., and Chat- tanooga,* Tenn.

United States Attorney Marshall, tn moving for sentence, said it was “his painful duty to ask for substantial punishment, not so much for its ef- fects on the defendants, but to serve as a warning to others.” None of the defendants showed any when sentence was pro- ‘nounced. . Prior to the opertiing of court they were surrounded by a number of sympathizers with whom they chatted freely.

Servians Not Disarmed. Many Servian soldierg who passed through Greek territory after the fall of Monastir were not disarmed, but were treated with every consideration, says an Athens dispatch to the Daily News. The much rumored Russian diversion against the Bulgarians has not mater- jalized. Reports have reached here from Bucharest that three Bulgarian divisions crossed Hungary eh route to the Italian, or western front, which, if true, would seem to indicate that Bulgaria does not fear a Russian in- vasion. Reports of such a shift of forces on the part of the Bulgarians are ase vague, however, as the report that Austro-German troops had been rushed from other quarters eastward to face the new Russian menace. Dispatches from several sources as- sert that both the Northern and South- ern Servian armies are safely estab- lished in Albania, while forces of the Serbs who evidently formed part of the defenders of Monastir have reached the Freych camp at Giegeli in Servian territory near the Greek frontier, not far from Saloniki.

Mangold, director of the School of Social Economy of Washington University, speaking be- fore the Town Club, a woman's or- ganization, at luncheon today at the Annex Hotel, declared he favored the passing of a law by each state creating a board of physicians who would say whether defectives such as Baby Bollinger of Chicago, should be allowed to die, or be operated upon and every effort made to save their lives. Dr. Mangold, whose address was on “The Menace of the Feeble-Minded,” said that such boards would result in the greatest good to the greatest number, and to society at large. “We cannot tell what misery was averted by the death of the Chicago baby,” he added. While this declara- tion might sound cruel on first thought, he said, it would readily be seen that it was for the improvement of the race, and for the making of a better nation. To accomplish the passage of such laws a8 he advocates will possibly take years, he said, and will result only after the public has been thoroughly educated into the necessity of such steps. “The fact that several reputable Chi- cago physicians approved of the action of the physician in the Bollinger case demonstrates that such action must have merit,”’ he added. This jury, with the power of life and death in its hands, which he advocates, would only be called in by the physician in charge in extreme cases, whefe ev- erything would indicate that the child would grow up to be @ moral and mental defective of the olwest grade, and of absolutely no use to society. Dr. Mangold asserted+«that he had not yet made up his mind in regard to the Sterilization of defectives, although sev- eral states have such a law at present. The speaker said that in the caring for and treating of feeble-minded per- gons the development of the patient's mind must be taken in consideration. “We often see a woman of 25, with the brain of a child of_10," he said. ‘‘That rerson must be tr@ated as a child—not as an adult. Often In such cages they are only partly to blame for their aéta.”’ why similar alleggtions are made con- cerning the intentions of various other persons. “All these rumors are as untrue as the report concerning the coming trip of Emperor Wililam to Constantinople. This inventive activity demonstrates the reverity of the defeats suffered by Ger- many’s enemies.” Italian General tn Paria for Allied Council of War. PARIS, Dee. 4.—Gen.

The United States cruiser Saratoga, flagship of the Asiatic fleet, had the place of honor opposite the new 30,000-ton Japanese battleship Fuso. The commander of the American fleet, Rear Admiral Albert G. Winter- halter, and his staff, accompanied the Emperor on the battle cruiser Tsukuba. The American officers were much im- pressed by the many manifestations of friendship on the part of the Japanese. From the heights surrounding the bay hundreds of thousands of persons wit- nessed the demonstration of Japan’s sea power and heard the roar of guns which firing simultaneously, discharged about 8000 shots in giving the imperial salutes There were 125 warships in line. Lancheon Given for Americans. The Tsukuba, escorted by the armored cruiser Tokiwa and the cruiser Yahazgi, steamed through the fleet, formed in five lines, each five miles long. The crew of each warship, manning the rail, shouted “Banzai!’’ as the Emperor passed by. The Saratoga was the only foreign vessel present. . The bluejackets Save av American cheer in honor of the Emperor. During the review a fleet of hydro- aeroplanes circled above the warships. At noon Emperor Yoshihito trans- ferred his standard to the Fuso, on board which he gave a luncheon for Rear Admiral Winterhalter and his staff and a large number of others. The Emperor presented cups to Rear Admiral Winterhalter, Commander Standford E. Moses of the United States monitor Monterey, and Comman.- der Jay H. Sypher, cHief-of-staff of the American Asiatic fleet. The Em- press sent several vases as a gift for Mrs. Winterhalter. -- . Tonight the fleet was illuminated. It presented a gorgeous spectacle from shore. The city is decorated gaily and was ablaze tonight with lantern pro- cessions.” A dance was given this even- ing at one of the hotels with mudsic by the Saratoga’s band. A garden party is to be given tomor- row by the Mayor of Yokohama, after which Rear Admiral Winterhalter will hold a reception on the Saratoga for Japanese naval officers. The total tonnage of the warships reviewed by the Emperor is 605,38. In the crews there are about 50,000 men. An imperial rescript was issued to the fleet, in which the Emperor com- mented on the remarkable progress of the Japanese navy, adding: “The present situation of the world’s Powers requires the greatest efforts of officers and men.”’ On returning from the review a hydro- aeroplane fell and sank. The pilot was injured fatally. HEAVY SEA HELPED ITALIAN STEAMER TO ELUDE SUBMARINE Captain of Verona Says Crew of U- Boat Were Unable to Aim Deck Guna. NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—Capt. Simone Guli, of the Italian steamer Verona, Which arrived here today after having been chased by a submarine in the Mediterranean on Nov. 19, said a heavy sea which caused the submarine to roll and ,pitch, was the chief factor in cnabling the steamer to elude the under- sea boat. Capt. Guli said the submarine did not fly a flag nor did it appear to have a number. “We were about 110 miles west of the Straits of Bonifacio,’ he said, ‘“‘when a large submarine appeared two miles off our starboard side and slightly astern. I immediately put on all speed possi- ble and steered a course so that the submarine would be forced to take the heavy sea at a quartering angle. “The sea caused the submarine to roll and pitch and the crew were un- able to aim either of the two deck guns at us. Shortly after 5:30 o'clock it be- came dark and after continuing on my course a short distance, I cut a wide semi-circle and lost the submarine.”’ MEN WHO SEIZED QUAIL REFUSE TO DINE ON THEM Louls Caeser, Cafe Owner, Says Birda Were Left There by Customer Whe Pianned Dinner. Louis Caesar, proprietot of Caesar’s Cafe, adjoining the Planters Hotel, to- day invited three men, who confiscated nine quail in his icebox last night for alleged game law violation, to dine with him and eat the quail—whfch are to serve as evidence. H. F. Mardorf, president of the Mie- gourt Fish and Game Leogue, Jule Hick- man, the league’s secretary, and John Heller, of Wil Lee avenue, honorary deputy game warden, who made the investigation of Caesar's kitchen, po- litely refused, saying that the quaf would be kept by them in cold storage. Caesar was not present when the men went to his cafe, so Louis Meurer the manager, war arrested on a charge of violating the State game laws, and released on bond. No warrant has yet been fsevued. Meurer told the men that the quail had been left there by a cus- tomer who intended to give a lHttie party today. Mardorf said that thie was the firet arrest made in a «ampaign which they intega to wage against violators of the game laws.

LONDON, Dec. 4.—London newspapers today reaffirmed the position of the Government that there can be no peace in Europe except on the conditions im- posed by Premier Asquith in his famous Guild Hall speéch of Nov. 9, 1914. They quoted at length from the Asquith state- ment, and declared that the principles then enunciated still obtain. Alongside these declarations were other coments ridiculing the Ford enterprise. Some of the newspapers printed long special dispatches from New York un- mercifully ‘“‘kidding’ ‘the peace cruise.

United States District Judge Dyer and officers of his court participated this morning in the destruction of a quantity of spoiled saimon and tomato soup to have motion pictures taken of them- selves. The condemned food was thrown into the Mississippi River at Dickson street. It is customary when foods are con- demned for a Government inspector and a Deputy United States Marshal to open the cases and dump their contents into the river. For the work today, how- ever, advance preparations had been made by a motion picture concern, and large attendance of Fed- eral officials. Those who attended, be- sides Judge Dyer. were United States Marehal Lynch, District Attorney Oliv- er, District Clerk Nall, Deputy Marshal Kennedy, Deputy Marshai Viehl and Food Inspector Wharton. Judge Dyer opened several of the cases and was duly photographed do- ing it.

Estimates of the number of Sérvian troops remaining in the field range from 6,000 to 100,000, the latter being generally held as an improbable maximum. The remnant of the Servian. army is composed of the best troops but the morale is said to be shattered. Of- ficers who have gone through the whole campaign declare that there was a vis- ible diminution of the quality of the Servian resistance after the first de- feats. The artillery of the Servians caused the most trouble and the greatest losses to the forces of the Central Powers. The Servian infantry fire was poor, it it_stated, contrary to the popular impression that the Servian —— fant article of clothing resembling a uniform. / An army surgeon is authority for the statement that he had encountered sev- erai men bearing wounds received in the } last Balkan war which bed not yet healed, showing a total absence of sur-. gical attention.

Apart from this condition, how- ever, the Servian campaign is declared to have been less arduous than that in Russia for comparatively few houses were destroyed and hence adequate quar- sible to advance more rapidly than could ‘ave been done if it had been is a good marksman, but their artil- lery was good and served with great precision. There was no lack of am- munition on the Servian side, it is said. Germans Had te Dash Through. The Servian artillery knew every inch of the ground and had thé habit of posting itself where it could com- mand the only practicable pass be- tween the mountains through which the Teutonic forces advance. This section was kept continually under fire and the attacking troops were simply. obliged to dash through. Their losses were the heaviest at such places. The marching and fighting continued day and night and the attacking forces, while continually harrying the Servi- ans, were themvrelves at the pvint of ex- havetion much of the time. The Servinn infantry resistance rarely was proicr.ced mors than was necessary to permit the trceorps and baggage train in the rear 1.0 extricate themselves. The civi'ian pop- uiation behaved well toward the Teu- tons. At many villages the authorities formally surrendered the place, it is stated, and showed a disposition tu do whatever was possible for the imvacers. The Servians generally refrained from tombarding their own villag 3, e¢ven when Germans and Austrians Werte quar- teied there and when forced to du su used only shrapnel. It is stated (that very few villages were damaged to any considerable extent. Great numbers of livestock were found everywhere. Sixty thousand swine were confiscated in a small district about Bel- grade alone. Large quantities of wheat also were found, It is stated that the country generally gave evidence of being in a prosperous condition so far as nat- ural resources were concerned, which is considered surprising in view of the pov- erty of so many of the inhabitants. Irregulars Still Active. In spite of the thoroughness with which Servia has been searched for male civilians capable of bearing arms, bands of irregulars continue their sporadic activity. The latest instance reported was the destruction of a German automobile by a mine n the road 40 miles southeast of Belgrade. The Associated Press correspondent saw 14 men brought into Vilanovats. The majority were soldiers who had deserted, returned to their farms and resumed civillan clothing. They rahged from youths to gray -haired men. At the same time there was brought in a collection of firearms which scarcely could be found else- where outside a museum. It in- cluded two flintlocks, a number of percussion caps, smooth-bore rifies, one flintlock pistol and a Turkish muszszle-loader inlaid with mother of pearl and ivory. All thees weapons were found in the homes of Servian peasants. The prisoners thus far seen, both civil and military, are undernourished and footsore, their clothing tattered and their feet bound up in rage as « substitute for shoes. Prisoners of war taken in Northern Servia virtu- ally all were elderly members of the landstrum, the line troops having been reserved for decisive conflicts.

Floating ice ls beginning to appear in the Danube and a few more days of temperature like this would make difficult the task of keeping the rivers navigable, Although the river bas been open for transportation for about five weeks, traffic is not heavy, The correspondent saw four convoys going down the river in four days. All carried military goods, & far as could be ascertained. There is a possibility that the Orient Express line, running from Vienna to Co tinople, may resume operations by’ the middle of December. Work is well advanced on the railroad bridge from Semlin to Belgrade, which the Ser- vians effectively destroyed before being driven from this district. The German otficials are hoping to complete the re- pairs by Dec. 10. The line from Nish to Sofia already is In running order, but some damage to it northward of Nish has not yet been repaired.

President Wants to Rid Country of Foreign Repre- sentatives He Considers Guilty of Harmful Acts. Investigation Will Develop Whether Action Should Be Taken Against Some Higher Embassy Officials. WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—Capt. Boy- id, naval attache of the German em- basey, whose immediate withdrawal has been requested by the United States, came here today from New York and had a long conference with Count von Bernstor(f, the German Ambassador. Capt. Franz von Papen, the military at- tache of the embassy, whose withdraw- al also has been asked, is expected to come to Washington soon. Officials of the German embassy re- fused to discuss Boy-Ed’'s visit or any developments of the request by the State Department. The case against Boy-Ed and Von Pa- pen, though not susceptible of legal proof, consisted of complaints, since the beginning of the war, whfch connected them with attempts to violate American neutrality. The State Department re- garded these complaints as fully justi- fying the withdrawal of the attaches from the diplomatic service of Ger- many in the United States. The action of Secretary Lansing had the full approval of President Wilson and his Cabinet. The President is said tu have decided to get rid of all foreign officials whose activities are considered harmful to the best interests of this country. This Government, it was said today, probably would ask the entente allies for safe conduct for the offending at- taches. They are expected to depart at once. State Department officials are consid- ering What action should be taken in the case of Alexander von Nuber, Aus- tro-Hungarian Consul-General at New York, whose name has been linked with those of Captains Boy-Ed and Von Pa- pen in connection with activities re- garded as objectionable by the United States. The Department, it also is said, in considering whether any action should be taken regarding other higher officials of foreign embassies here. News of Recall Withheld. The State Department made its request («> the recall of the attaches three days azo through Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador. Announcement o the fact was withheld as a matter of courtesy to Germany and to prevent the charge being made that the jury trying the officials and employes of the Ham- bura-American line in New York had in any way been influenced in reaching a verdict. No reply has been receniem but none is necessary. Secretary Lansing is enberenend to have given consideration to the attempts to supply German warships with coal, provisions and ammunition and although no absolute proof of the complicity of either of the men in the passport frauds reached the State Department, & mass of testimony accumulated to place them under suspicion. The Stegler passport case, false affidavite which were made in shipping matters, and (he sending of reporta to Austria by James F. J. Archi- bald, an American citizen, all are among matters taken into account by the de- partment. Secretary Lansing has said that the evidence in the Hamburg-American con- epiracy trial in New York did not prove to the satisfaction of the department that Boy-Ed had violated the neutrality jaws of the United States or that he had done anything which at the time of contmission was in viotation of the Fed- eral statutes, Law Against Supplying Fiecets Recent When the effort was made to supply the German fleet in North and South Ameriéan waters, there Was no law on the statute books which permitted prose- eution for that action. It was only after the German fleet had been driven from American waters and the activi- thee of the Harmburg-American line had consed that Congress, during the cilos- ine days of the last seasion, and at the vreent request of the President, passed the act which makes such proceedings unlawful, 1t te understood that while in the case in New ¥ nothing actually had been proved net Capt.

It was said with authority that it was because of the investigation that is be- ing made to determine the desirability of Consul-General von Nuber that no further action had been taken by the Department of Justice regarding the statement issued in its names, which appeared to give confirmation of the charges made by Dr. Goricar, forms Austrian Consul. The charge of the Austrian here protested against the statement and asked that it be denied. The Austrian Foreign Office. through Ambassador Penfield at Vienna, also inquired about the statement, asking whether the De- partment of Justice had issued it, and if so, upon what grounds the assertions in it were made. No reply has been made and it is considered probable that none will be until the State Department determines whether Von Nuber is an offender. , embass:’ a > ‘1HAVE DONE MY DUTY,’ SAYS BOY-ED Von Papen Also Declares He Simply Obeyed Orders, : as a Soldier. NEW YORK, Dec. 4—Capt. Boy-Ed made the following statement last night: “T have simply done my duty as 4 naval officer, and the majority of the criticisms against me in the American press have been unjust and unfair. The American newspaper men have not taken into consideration the immense strain under which I have labored, and the fact that none of my activities were individual in character, but that I have been simply an officer carrying out or- ders to the best of my ability, under all clreumstances.”’ Capt von Papen said: «“‘I have no re- gretse.

Nay, I have @ kingdem ef mine own.| A.falien oak tree is my throne, Then, Oe $8 EN SOY we striven to achieve this goal and fallen along the way. Perhaps, some have ac- complished the task, at least to their Own satisfaction, but, after following Mr. Vance through some 200 pages, one sees that he believes that it can’t be done with any great degrée of success. The truth is that the author tells us very little that we have not understood before. He is a bitter foe of strong drink. He admits some can stand a great deal of it and not show it phys- ically. But though the body may not be drunk, the morals will be. His the- ory Is that alcoho! attacks the devotee in ths highest part of his being first, in the brain, and that, in one drink, even, there is the germ that, unless the poison is put away forthwith, will surely bring the ruin of manhood. Mr. Thompson has little sympathy with the usual excuses for drinking. Of the most overworked one, sociabil- ity, he says it is arrant nonsense. There may be a few persons in the world whose conversation is brightened a bit by an alcoholic, he says, but the general run of men are not. Anyway, the bright- ened process lasts but a short time when it is followed by a reaction of stupid- ity and sullenness. Of the flavor of wine and whisky, he says there are few who can tell the different grades apart. It is not the bouquet they are after but the primitive alcohol that lurks therein. He cites an incident of a recent ses- sion of the New York Legislature when a pure food committee was considering laws regulating the manufacture of whisky and brandy from raw alcohol. The experts were’ called in to look over and taste some of these manufactured specimens. All misjudged them, both in age and origin, and not one guessed they were made from raw alcohol, showing they knew really nothing about the sub- jeet. Thomson says that whatever the rea- son the drinker gives for taking his dram, the real object is the effect of the alcohol—the physical and mental numbness that invariably follows its in- troduction into the system, the sensa- tion, to be frank, that the drug devotee finds so delicious when he snuffs his cocaine or feels the thrilling stab of the hypo needle. (Moffatt-Yarda.) “THE BOWMBEN,” AND OTHER GHOST STORIES. OMEONBE has done a little bit of S literary faking. This remark is made because a book of “True Ghost Stories,”’ by Here- ward Carrington, has just appeared, which contains, among other stories, the now celebrated one of the Bowmen of Mons, which came out in a little book by Arthur Machen several weeks ago. The story of the Bowmen of Mons was to the effect that St. George and an army of angelic archers suddenly appeared, during the battle of Mons, fighting on the side of the British, who were greatly outnumbered, and uttering battle cries while they let fly clouds of arrows, demoralizing the foe and win- ning the day for England. The discrepancy lies in the fact that Mr. Carrington gives the story, in prac- tically the same language and form as it was given in Mr. Machen’s book, and quotes it as from “‘a letter written by a soldier who actually witnessed these startling events,’’ quoted by the Hon. Mrs. St. John Mildmay (North American Review, August, 1915). Arthur Machen, in a long prefatory note to his little book, says the idea of the story first came to him when he firs! read of the battle, and it was published as he finally wrote it in the Evening News of Sept. 23, 1914—about 11 months before “‘the Hon. Mrs, St. John Mild- may’’ got it into the North American Review as an actual letter from a soldier who had witnessed the events which, Mr. Macheg tells us, he invented with- out having heard of any happenings on which to base his story. Is it possible that Mr. Carrington has not read Mr. Macher’s book end his introduction set- ting the stamp of fiction on this ‘‘true ghost story?” Carrington’s book is an _ interesting compilation, which will come in handy these dark winter evenings, when one has nothing better to do than read such stories. But it is to be hoped some of them have more of what the Psychical Researchers call the veridical quality than the Bowmen of Mons story appears to have. (J. 8S. Ogilvie Co.) “ETHICS OF CONFUCIUS” U TING FANG, former Chinese W Minister to the United States, writes the foreword for a new edition of the maxims of Confucius. The sayings are arranged according to sub- ject by Miles Menander Dawson, a dis- criminating student of the great philoso- pher, and his aim has been to include tn this small volume everything that he and his disciples uttered on the subjects of ethics and statecraft. The arrange- ment by topics is that favored by Con- fucitus himself and the utterances are connected by a running narrative that keeps them from growing monotonus to the reader, the relationship of every pas- sage to its predecessor being shown. The person by whom it was enunciated is aleo named.

IN FOREST PARK It Will Run From Point Near Skinker-Clayton Entrance to Government Drive. Activity tn the vicinity of the Skinker and Clayton roads entrance to Forest Park has disclosed that the Park De- partment is planning to improve the southwestern corner of the park by tree Planting and the bullding of, additional roadways to facilitate traffic which at Present is taken care of by Wells Drive. This work, according to Park Commis- sioner Cunliff, is proceeding slowly, as the city has not sufficient’ funds to carry it to completion at once. By next eommer, he thinks, a new park roadway will have been completed from a point near Wells Drive, where concrete ex- perimental roadwork ends, to a point on Government Drive, near Washington bridge. This atretch of roadway, until recent- ly, Was a cinder bridle path. It has been widened from 15 to 3% feet, and workmen are now ballasting it with rock, When finished it will cost about $5000. it will be known as Valley drive and will run almost directly northeast from the Skinker-Clayton entrance to the read at the foot of the east side of Art Hill. The main purpose of Valley drive will be to complete a diagonal driveway, or shortest route, from the northeast corner to the southwest cor- ner of Forest Park. Another roadway in contemplation fe a 4500-foot stretch east from the Bkinker-Clayton roads entrance and extending to Concourse drive. This rondway would parallel the Market e@treet car line, and would be in the opin- fon of Commissioner Cunliff a more di- rect rotite to Concourse drive than m reserve curve. Concourse drive is a north-side road which passes on the eastern boundary of the zoo, with its gouthern terminus in front of Forest Park University. Wells drive, whieh lies between the two new roadways, fe not to be changed, the Park Com- gissioner sald. Grading ia now under way on a small geection of the park between Skinker road and Tamm avenue. Dirt is being faken from high places and is being spread along the Market street car ‘ine to fill up low places. When graded, gycamore trees are to be planted on the gouthern park front, 30 feet apart, About @ of these tree@ will be used to iine the park from the Skinker-Clayton en- trance to the Concourse drive. oe The Associated Press News Service fn received and printed exclusively by the Post-Dispatch in the St. Louis even- wer field -—— — il eS ee ee Entrance t When Changes Park Will Look Agreed Upon Are Made | * BA AY EVENING, DECEMBER 4, 1915. ° ST LOUIS POST-DISPATCH cee mre ——e ———————————— o »' 4 aS —. ) s*, af 7 “ss > ~ »~ »—s a = LZ 4 cc eC ee en FOREST PAPNK. peg VL “ woe - ) Arf LINDELL Bou.

The POET OF THE PIANO PLEASES A LARGE SYMPHONY CROWD Carl Friedberg Gives a Fine Per- formance of Beethoven’s 4 » C-Minor Concerto. By HRICHARD L. STOKES, HE Symphony Orchestra’s concert T yesterday was trebly distinguished —by Carl Friedberg’s truly magi- val performance of Beethoven's C-minor concerto for the pianoforte; by the first presentation here of Sergei Rachman-. in E-minor; and by the presence of the largest audience on a Friday after- noon that the Odeon has seen in many a day. The drawing power, it is pleas- ant to believe, was exerted largely by the orchestra, for the name of Fried- berg, although this was his second ap- pearance in this city, is as yet scarcely s0 crowd-compelling In St. Louis as that .Of Kreisler or Schumann-Heink. Friedberg is called “‘the poet of the piano,"”” and rarely, as his playing proved, has a nickname been bestowed « aptly. He is no heaven-storming Titan of the keyboard like Harold Bauer or Josef Hofmann. He is not a tonal Michelangelo, rearing a «znassive architecture upon his instrument; but he is a musical Benvenuto Cellini—a roldsemith of precious tones, a carver of exquisite ivories, a cunning artificer in the jewelry of sounds. A Lyrte Masterpiece. His interpretation of the Beethoven concerto, itself a lyric masterpiece en- tirely fitted to his genius, was a thing of beauty which will linger as a joy forever in the memories of. those who heard it.

M. and on all Ac- is your Friedberg in his playing made oné con- tinually think of water gently in mo- tion. His fingers did not strike but flowed and poured themselves over the keys; his scale passages ascended like, spray tossed upward from a silvery fountain; his trills were the purling of a brook; and his touch, falling as light- ly as the dew, had the lustrous shim- mer of its drops in the moonlight. Friedberg made no attempt to appeal to his audience by forging thunders of sound upon the keyboard or by making @& parade of dazzling virtuosity, for his prodigious technique was disguised by the fluency and ease of his playing. But} the outburst of applause at the end of the concerto was such as one infrequent- ly hears at St. Louis concerts. It be- came a contest between the audience and the soloist as to whether he would give an encore. When he returned to the stage for the fourth time to make his bow, he shook his head in determined denial. This only redoubled the hand- clapping, and he had to appear for a fifth time before the enthusiasts re- luctantly gave up the struggle. New Symphony Applauded. His performance was preceded by the Rachmaninoff symphony, each of the four movements of which was applaud- ed with unusual fervor. Yet it did seem similar to those Russian grandees of the time of Peter the Great, wrapped in their costly sables and dropping dia- monds and dirt. Musical squalor and riches rubbed elbows, and side by side were the slums and the palaces of sound. There were even passages of deliberate ugiiness, such as the composer’s insist- ent use of one of the most horribie noises within the resources of the or- chestra, that buzzing, blood-curdling racket produced by muted French horns. That the composer was ravished by this hideous effect was shown by the fact that he repeated it in every movement. It was as if, like some of his Russian contemporaries in literature, Dostoievaky and the like, he loved ugliness for its own sake. Yet there were many tremendously dramatic. passages, although one was puzzled to decide whether it was the drama of stirring ideas or only the me!- odrama of vigorous orchestration. One can get rousing results by making the trumpets and trombones pbiow at full blast, whether they are saying anything or not. The difference between Rach- maninoff and other Russian writers like Tachaikowsky and Rimsky-Korsakov seems tu be in this case a poverty of melodic invention, although Rachmanin- off has eminently displayed this gift in other works, such as the “Prelude” to be played at next Sunday’s “Pop” con. cert. But one grows weary of even the richest harmonies, the most novel or- cestral effects, unless they are under the fizm discipline of coherent melodies. Zach at His Best. Director Zach labored with all his pow- er to make the best of the Symphony, and many of its finest effects were due as much to his energetic and intelligent conducting as to the music itself. The program, which will be repeated to- night, came to a delightful conclusion with three selections from Berlloz's “Damnation of Faust,” the “Minuet of the Whill-o’-the-Wisps,” the ‘“‘Dance of the Syiphs" and the famous ‘“‘Rak- ocaky March.” The second njmber, though scored chiefly for six muted vio. ins and harp, with a few notes from flute, clarinet and timpani, was an ex- ample of what a clear-headed master can accomplish in the Way of rich tone color with only a few expert strokes of his brush.

It was vormerly the tenth month of the year, but.Caesar found the holidays‘@mbarrassing at a time when he was in the midst of his Fall drive, and he placed Decem- : ber where we have it now. The Ronianhs were great ‘§ people to send Christmas boxes to the front, and the soldiers became so excited about opening them that they forgot all about the Gauls and other people to whom the Empire was opposed. There Was no such thing as taking these boxes into the trefiches, and nobody wanted to stay in the trenchés while they were being wnpacked at the rear. The Roman sol- dier liked farm sausage and blackberry jam as well as anybody who has ever lived, and he did not think much of his chances after everything had been picked over. The result was that Caesar suffered two or three serious setbacks by reason of not having his trenches guarded, and when the Belgaé caught him one day with his head in a barrel of fancy groceries which had been forwarded to him by friends in Rome, he revised the calendar in a hufry. Rome was at her best in December. Then it was } that people came from all parts of the empire to do oll their shopping, and no more animated and colorful scene than a Roman department store about ten days before Christmas has ever been staged. It was some- thing to meet Cicero in the elevator, or to see Mark Antony slipping in and out of the jewelry stores after something pretty for Cleopatra. The side- walks were filled with performing toys, soldiers from every point of the compass were home on furlough, there was a jam at the 10-cent stores after something for father, and college boys home from Alexandria and other great schools sent chrysanthemums ovér the footlights at the imperial theater until it looked like Mr. Corey of Pittsburg was in the house. There was only one Rome, and that Rome was but once. It is true that it fell; but as Horace said, amd Horace knew Rome when the rest of the world looked like @ speck in space from the Cataline Hill, ‘‘what goes up must come down.’’ a Lady in front (turning around): Is my hat in the way?

PART Il, ITING of Kadir Baksh so VW wrousne up my fedlings that [ could not rest till I had at least made an atteript to get a budli of some sort. The black man is essential to my comfort. I fancied I might in this city of barbarism catch a broken-down na- tive strayed from his homes and friends, who would be my friend and humble partner—the sort of man, y’ know, who would sitep on a rug somewhere near my ¢Chambers (1 have @ things to tell you about chambers, but they come later), and generally look after my things. In the intervals of labor I would talk to him in his own tongue, and we would go abroad together and explore London. Do you know the Albert Docks? The British-India steamers go thence to the sunshine. They sometimes leave oa. lascar or two on the wharf, and, in fact, the genéral tone of the popula- tion thereabouts is brown and umber. I was in no case to be particular. Any- thing dusky would do for me, so long as it could tall Hindustani and sew buttons. T went to the docks and walked about generally among the rail- way lines and packing cases, til I found a man selling tooth-combs, which is not a paying trade. He wae ragged even to furriness, and very unwashed. But he came from the Hast. “What are yout’ I said, and the look of the missionary that steals over mé in mo- ments of agitation deluded that tooth- comb man into answering, “Sar, I am native ki-lis-tian,’ but he put five more syllables into the last word. There is no Christianity in the docks worth a tooth-comb. “I don’t ‘want your beliefs. I want your jat,’’ said I. J} am Tamil,’ said he, ‘and my name is Ramasawmy.”’ It wae an awful thing to lower one- ee. to the level of a Colonel of the Madras army, and come down to be- ing tended by a Ramasawmy; but beg- gars cannot be choosers. I pointed out to him that the tooth-comb trade was a thing lightly to be dropped and taken up. He might injure his health by a washing, but he could not much ‘hurt his prospects by coming along with me and trying his hand at bearer’s work. “Could he work?’’ Oh, yes, he didn’t mind work. He had been a servant in his time. Several servants, in fact. “Could he wash himself?’ "*Ye-es,” he might do that if I gave him a coat—a thick coat—afterwards, and especially took care of the tooth- conmibs, for they were his little all. ‘Had he any character of any kind?” He though for a minute and then gaid cheerfully: “Not a little dam."’ Thereat I loved him, because a Man who oan speak the truth in minor mat- tera may be trusted with important things, such as shirts. went home together till we struck a public bath, merel- j fully divided into three classes. I got him to go into the third without much difficulty. When he came out he was in the way of cleanliness, and be- fore he had time to expostulate I ran him into the second. Trito the first he would not go ti] I had bought him a cheap ulster. He came out almost clean. That cost me three shillings altogether. The ulster was half a sovereign, and some other clothes were 980 shillings. Iiven these things could not hide from me that he looked an unusually villatn- ous creature, At the chambers the trouBDle began. The people in charge had race preju- dices very strongly, and T had to point out that he was a civilized native Christian anxicus to improve his Fin- ‘glish—it was fluent but unchastened-- before they would give him some sort of a erib to ie down In. The house- maids calied him the Camel. I intro- @uced him as “the Tamil,” but they knew nothing of the ethnological sub- @ivisions of India. They called him “that there peastliy came!” and I saw by the light in his eye he understood enly too well.

At 1 o'clock he said the Chyebassa would be in, and he must go. He demanded no money, saw. that my Uffin was seryed, and fiel.. He re- turned at 6 o’clock singing a hymn. A lasear on the Chyebassa had told him that the Rewah was dus in four days, and that his friend was not dead, but ripe for the knife. That night he got very drunk while I was out, and fright- ened the housemaids. All the chambers were in an upfoar, but he crawled euft of the skyligtit-on the roof; and sat there till I came home.

(THE END.) a ~_ What to Wear and When to Wear It By Andre Dupont. What to Wear to Business: HE business woman can be as ex- T pensively dressed as her purse. will stand, but her clothes must be plain. Frills and furbelows are out of place in an office or a store. A well-cut taflored suit is ideal for busfhess. It van be made of any fashonable cloth de- sired, except velvet, velveteen or cor- duroy. The majority of coats come well below the hips, but a few natty jackets are also worn and are certainly well-suited te the short figure. Collars button up close around the neck in a very sensible fashion. are Comfortably full.. Many of them are pleated. Sometimes the high collar ti» tritimed with a narrow band of fur, but more often it is plain, #0 that any neckpiece desired can be worn. If the designers of the tailor sults seem to heve had the business womaa in mind, so algo have the millinera, for they have made a good number of very becoming and astylish hate that will withetand any @mount of hard “wear and yet retain their.smartness. The prettiest of these are in the medium- sized safior, tath o'shanter and tri- cere shapes, They are trimmed with small gold or silyer ormaments, flat F ccmeneiimedtinensinnmtiinmaina on ee mer et —e : clusters of velvet or silk flowers Dr nat- ty fancy feather effects that seem less perishable than any I-have seen for 4 long time. Don’t wear a hat with an Ostrich plume to Wusiness, but select one of these more serviceable trimmings. ' Qstrich plumes are very beautiful in their proper places on dress hats, but are not quite the thing for the rush hours on the cars. And then the leasf touch of dampness spoils them. A great many separate coats are to be worn this winter, and they are so pretty and withal so extremely serviceable that there is no reason why the busi- ness woman should not Wear them. Th that will withstand the very hardest wear of all are the coats of rough mixed cloth. Most of these coats have a belted effect, as have the tailor suits. Sometimes the belt extends right around the waist and then again it chly placed across the back and sides of the coat. There are coats of broad- cloths and cheviots and other heavy coatings trimmed with fur and also very pretty corduroy coats. The corduroy coats are miuch more serviceable than suits of the same material and the fiainer examples are suitable for bust- ness wear. ‘When J suash and J jellies Grew to Favor ILE the American is notorious or hie “‘eweet tooth” and. con- : or &@ shortness of breath.” as London candy for a cough er cold it is a@ coincidence that the Bngtish also attributed remarkable medicinal qualities to tea when that now popular beverage was first brought to thelr at- tention.

Continued.) — -— Sandman story of a mischievous kitten that was cured of always frightening the baby ducks and chickens. Ps aise ER ae ETER PAN was a little black kit- a ten, and he lived with his mother at Farmer Jones’ farm. Peter ran all over the house; no room was too sacred for him to enter, and he even slept on the bed In the spare room when the fancy took him to do so. He chased the chickens an@ the little ducklings, and, although he had never harmed them, hé Had frightened them very much, and made their mother verr angry. “That Peter Pan is a spolled kitten,’’ said Mother Hen to Mother Duck, “ant he needs to be punished, but his mother will never do it, and Wwe will never get a chance, so I suppose we will have to put up with his pranks.”’ But fate delivered Peter Pan into Mother Duck’s power in an unexpected way not long after the conversation be- tween Mother Duck and Mother Hen. Peter Pan saw the ducklings wander- ing about @he yard one day not far from the pond, so heslyly crept toward them, hiding in the bushes until he was right beside them. Then he sprang out, and the poor frightened ducklings wad- dled to the pond as fast as their legs would carry them. A piece of board lav partly on the bank and partly in the water, and one of the ducklings wad died on it before he plunged into ths pond. Peter Pan ventnred too far this time, and when he stepped on the board it slipped from the bank, and Peter Pan went with it. He was so little that it kept afloat, and there he was, sailing from tand, his eves staring with fright, and his loud me-ows could be heard over the barnyard. MV the pond, and when she saw her Peter Pan salling away she al- most fainted. “Save. him! Save him!’ she cried, running around the yard. Bu: there was no one to save him. The hens and the rooster ran to the edge of the pond and looked, but they could not sWim, and Mother Duck was on the pond with her children. When the ducklings saw Peter Pan they were frightened at first, for they thought he was chasing them even en the pond, where they had always been gaffe, but in a minute they saw that Peter Pan was the frightened one thie time, and they gathered around him. “Hello, Peter. Pan!" they sald. “How de you like our pend? valling very fast, so we will help you,” end they gave the beard a push with their bills, making Peter Pan sway and nearly lose his balance, “Go away! Go away'”’ he called to them: But they only quacked and quacked to see him frightened, and gave the board another push. This time he lost his balance and hie hind legs went Into the water. Peter Pah me-owed loudly for help, and his mother on shore called to Moth- er Duck to keep her @ucklings from bothering her Peter Pan. “Keep him out of our pond,” calied back Mother Duck; ‘he should not get RS. TABBY came running down tu You are not) in their way if he does not want to be bothered.” “But he can’t get out ef the pond,” said Mra. Tabby. “Do help him; be wil! be drowned if sémeone does ‘not hep him.”’ But Mother Duck. was not ready to Kelp him yet: she intended that Pater Pan should have a lesson be would not goon forget. Se she went t the side of the board and flapped her winga, }making small waves in the pond, which sent Peter's treacherous little craft nall- ing out into the middle of the pond, with Peter me-owitng as loud ag he could. OTHER DUCK sailed after him, Vi followed by her little ones, and after letting Peter get a few more frights from the tipping of the board, Mother Duck sald to him: ‘Tr I take you back to the barnyard will you again, or Mother Hen’s brood, either?’ ” “©, yes,” meowed Peter Pan, verr meekly. “If you will only take me back to my mother I will never chase any of the chickens or ducks again.” “Vary well,” said Mother Duck, “then i wilh take you home, but if you ever bother my children again I will take you out here and let you stay. Now hep on my back and I will swim aahore with you.” e “There is your Peter Pan,"’ said Moth- er Duck when she reached shore. “! think we have given him @ lessen he will remember for a long time, and I advise you, Mrs. Tabby, to see to it that he behaves in the future, or the next time he may not get back to land.” Mrs. Tabby promised that he should never bother anyone again as « . - ae Na EO meme oe tee a ms Selected Fictio Wiwehlus promise never to bother my children’ | NJ ily ly with lees power of resictants.

CAN OFFER EVIDENCE President of Extension Society Says U. S. Army Officials Koow of Crimes. CHICAGO, Dec. 4,.—8tatements in re- ply to the recent letter in which Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to President Wil- son, explained from an administratien viewpoint the situation iff Mexico, as regards the Roman Catholic Church, are made public here. One is by Mer. Francis. C. Kelley, president of the Catholic Church Extension Society, and the other by the Rev. R. H. Tierney, editor of the Catholic weekly, “Ameri- ca,” and both renew criticism of Presi- Wilson in recognising the Car- ranza Government under which, says Helley, religious liberty is being denied t6 the people of Mexico. The statement by Mer. Kelley follows: “If the files of the Department of State are without official records to prove the ‘dastardly crime’ of outrages committed tpon nuns by Mexican revolutionists, there are official records in other piaces, ecpies of which have man, offered to the Department of State. I happen to have some of them myself, given wnder Outh. I have one in particular that has never seen the light of day. But is Mr. Tumulty perfectly safe in trying to dis- prove all the outrages against religion through denying one? Wven if we grant all his contentions, there still remains a great burden of crime te unex- lained. One thing, however, he may e certain of—the worst of the affidavits will never be given out, for it stands to reason that no names are going to be mentioned; not for the revolutionists’ sake, or for Mr. Tumulty’s sake, but rather for the sake of the poor victims. Nuns Taken From .Trains. “The murders, the looting, the steal- ing, the closing of churches, etc., etc., have been admitted over and over again by the revolutionists themselves. It ts most extraordinary that Mr. Tumulty could make the statement seriously that the officers of the American army never. heard a single report of outrage having been committed. The fact of the mat- ter is that the story first came to my knowledge through one who received it frum officers of both the army and navy. 1 afterwards conversed with one of these officers, and he not only corrob- orated what I had heard, but gave me edditional facts. However, his case is about the same as that of the nuna. While I have his name and his signa- ture, I do not propose to have hiin dismissed from the army, or have him life made a burden by revealing it. Mr. Tumulty may not perhaps have heard that nuns were forcibly taken from trains and sent into the revolutionist army. The number of nuns who reached Cuba or the United States safely is negligible. How many of them will never be heard from? ““A rather strange thing it is that Mr Tumulty should use as an authority ‘the Very Rev. Antonio J. Paredes, Roma@n Catholic Vicar-General, the Archbishopric of Mexico City.’ When Mr. Bryan was Secretary of State he communicated to me a copy of the statement of Canon Paredes and _ in- formed me that he was going to give it to the press. Through Dudley May Malone of New York |] gave Mr. Bryan aeormation as to who this Antonio J. Paredes was. I told him that he was Vicar-General of Mexico City only be- cause he had been appointed by Car- raunza to that office, despite the fact that the Constitution of Mexico proclaims that there is no union in that country between church and State. The ven- erable Archbishop of Mexico City, how- ever, as Father Tierney says, in order to avoid further scandal, allowed Par- edes to act; but, as a matter of fact, very few of the clergy of Mexico Cit; pay any attention to him, but recog- rize the authority of another Vicar- General, whose appointment was no! made by Gen. Carranza. “Antonio J. Paredes is today knock: -ting around Mexico — with a revolu- t tionary uniferm on was he who. taken as a nominal prisoner to Vera Cruz with a number of other priests from Mexico City, worked on the poor prisoners to have them sign a docu ment favorable to Carranza. This is the Antonio J. Par- edes is. It is a matter of interest in this connection to know that Mr. Bryan, when he learned about Canon Paredes’ did not give his statement to the public press, as he had intended. This fact, of course, must have been known to I. Tumulty. Father Tierney’s Statement. The atatement by Father Tierney, along the same lines, is as follows: “A reply to Mr. Tumulty's letter will appear in the next issue of America, the national Catholic weekly, of which 1 am editor For the present suffice it to say that the points in which I am in- terested concern the treatment of riests, brothers and sisters and the at- itude of the revolutionists toward re- ligion in general. Mr. Tumulty ,dis- counts nearly all the reports of ouwut- rages; but his contention is sustained by nu evidence of value. His testimony about the treatment of sisters is in ev- ery inatance except one negative and cannot render uncertain that proposition that sisters were outraged nor prove the contradictory proposition that sisters were not outraged. Against this nega- tive testimony Monsignor Kelly and my- self have set and can now set affida 40 y declaring that sisters were fil-treat And strange to say, one of these - davits was made in Vera Crug by refu- gee sisters, at a time when, as Mr. m- uliy declares, the officers of the Amer- ican army Who were thrown into contact with these same sisters in Vera Cruz never heard of a single report of a e having been committed.’ Str etill, this affidavit is signed ‘by an o no of the American army. “Through the columna of America I have o to furnish Mr. Tumulty the names of the six sisters who testi- fed, the names of the six witnesses and the name of the notary. For prudentia; reasons. I shall withhold the name of ‘ IT have also offered to send him a copy of an affidavit made by the prio of a well-known Carmel- ite monastery. who conversed with ale- ters who were outraged, All this testi. mony «ives morai ae Et @ut- rages were committe muity’s v “ye venyeee this ites Bs eon Hy ve one item of positive testimony Te eke effect that sisters were rs out- oe within the Arch Mex- ok: But to what avali?

That right bas been denied being dented them by the as oo Gov- ernment, su rted the President of the United States.” ‘A Curransa Officer. “The second point under discus- sion concerns the treatment of riests. The testimony Canon relies, Vicar neéeral Mexico City, is angeass by . Tumulty. In the first place, Mgr. Paredes is not a competent witness. He is scandal. riests were murdered, but he puts he crimes on the Zapatistas, who, be it remembered, were once hand in hand with Carranza. Moreover, had Canon Paredes been more impartial he cotild have furnished ‘evidence of the brutal murder of Brothers, and of the revolting torture of priests in the North where Villa an Car- ranza were companions. The torture of the priests was directed by Col. Fiero of the Revolutionary arm Should Mr. Tumulty desire it, I shall send him copies of affidavits made by the tortured priests in the pres- ence of Bishop Lynch of Dallas, Tex. “A last point, that namely which concerns religious freedom, Mr. Tu- multy makes a great deal of Car- ranza’s promise. But what about the decree of Aguilar and the decree of Toluca which make religious free- dom impossible? Have es been re- called? Worse yet, and this simply destroys Mr. Tamulty’s whole posi- tion, only recently Geh. Alvarado, the military governor of Yucatan, issued a violent manifesto against religton. This document will be pubHshed in America for Dec. 11, Alvarado’s de- cree and Carranza’s promise look well side by side. “Carranza is blowing cold and his agent, Alyara20 is blowing hot and religion is ufferi ing; confiscation of convents nae been in progress in Yucatan since Carranza made his worthless promise.
