SAN ANTONIO. June 30.—Colonel Gaston

erican forces at Presidio.
General Funston also denies the press re-
ports that Carranza's forces are cutting Per-
shing's lines.
DALLAS, Texas, June 30.—General Scott
wires the Texas Woodmen a reply to their offer
of their services, saying that if volunteers are call-
ed for ho will consider their request.
However, he further states that he believes
that, the militia will be all that is needed.
WASHINGTON. June 30.—Danger of war
with Mexico is waning fast, officials believe, as
President Wilson awaits the reply of Carranza
to the note threatening "gravest consequences"
if the American expedition was attacked. Des-
pite this belief, however, the state militias contin-
ue to pour steadily toward the border.
The administration is not certain but it may
not have early need to use the troops.
The United Press dispatch stating that the
Mexican reply was about finished was read with
a great deal of interest at the White House. The
President hopes to have the communication be-
fore he addresses the New York Press club to-
night.
Dispatches reporting belief that the reply
will avert war buoys up hopes of a peaceful setj
tlement.
The arrival of the American prisoners at El
Paso and the expressed willingness of the Mexi-
can authorities to return the bodies of the Carri-
zal dead, and other optimistic fact' ^ all seem
to have a better outlook today.

MARBLES IN BROWNIELAND.
"The Brownies.'' commenced Daddy
"said that they wanted to have a game
of Marbles—a real game, where at
least a hundred Brownies played in it
And then when they got the number
to one hundred they began to think it
was not a large enough number
'"Let's ask or.® hundred Gnomes tc
piay against us.' suggested ont
Brownie.
" 'Good! That s fine" they all cried.
" 'And how about the fairies?' asked
another.
"'Lets ask the Fairies to be the
Judges of our game, and we will asV
the Fairy Queen to give the prizes.'
" 'I didn't know we were going tc
have prizes,' said another Brownie.
"'Well, we must, you know, if we'rf
to ask the Gnomes to play against us,
and if we're to ask the Fairy QuefD
and the Fairies to Judge who wins th«
fame,'
" 'All right,' they agreed, but w«
must hurry with our invitations.'
"Six Brownies offered to take th«
Invitations to the Gnomes to play Mar
bles. and to the Fairies to Judge the
winners of the game. And these si*
Brownies dressed up in their best
brown velvet suits with their browr
velvet helmets on their heads.
"They went in a different way than
they had ever gone before, and th€
Gnomes and Fairies were so excited
at seeing them that for a long time
they could not understand what thej
were saving.
"For, you see. the Brownies did not
walk or fly or crawl when they went
off with their invitations. Instead
they rode in carriages made of tiger
lilies, which were drawn by eight
green Toads.
"The Toads hopped along and drew
the carriages, and sometimes when
the carriages upset, the Brownies did
not mind in the least, but got right in
again, after they had cried Whoa' tc
the Toads.
"And when they had told the
Snomes and Fairies why they had
come, all were very happy and said
right away they would be delighted to
go to the Brownie*' game of Marbles
In the afternoon.
"And sure enough, they all arrived
just at the very moment they we*"«
asked f«r. Ar«  ~t to be outdone d„*
their fine host Brov.Tile«. the
Gnomes went to lae game in a big
tutomobile made of the roots of old
trees and lined with fresh green
ferns. They really had to help make
their automobile go—but it looked
very gay and like the cool green woods
and they had a most impressive horn.
They had asked Mr. Crow to sit on
one side of their automobile and to
'Caw Caw' when anything got in the
way—and very often when they Just
wanted to be noticed! Their automo-
bile was very, very large, and with a
number of Gnomes pushing every few
seconds and with Mr. Crow's horn, the
Brownies and Fairies thought it very
funny.
"The Fairies flew to the game, and
when they arrived they were asked to
