pected to appease the insurgents.
In the meantime. President Taft will

gin a series of maneuvers and will re-
turn shortly to their posts. In addi-
tion. when conditions are normal in
Mexico, a complete statement of the

bilization of the troops will be issued.
Hope for the coming of peace in
Mexico is strengthened by tae manner

Washington.—The garrison in the
Hawaiian islands is to be increased
materially. Two battalions of the sec-
ond infantry are being rushed to San
Francisco and will sail for Honolulu
at once. A third battalion will sail
I. On July 5. two batteries of
field artillery will follow.
It is said unofficially within a few
months the force in Hawaii and Philip-
pines will have been Increased by 12 •
000 men.
This action coming on top of the dis-
patch of troops to the Mexican fron-
tier. gives special significance to the
facts set forth by Count Ernst Von
Reventlow. The count made it clear
that Japan must have the Philippines
and that she must seize them if at all
b^ff-re the completion of the Panama
canal four years hence.
It is also pointed out that Japan's
present aliance. offensive and defen-
sive, with Great Britain also expires

Japan is struggling to renew this al-
liance. knowing that whatever may be

people i6 with the United States.
Recent developments have hastened
the action of the I'nited States govern-
ment.
These developments include the re
ports 'hat Japanese all over the world
are contributing to a war fund.
That Japan has ordered a million
and a half tons of coal from the Tien
Tsin mines for immediate delivery.
That Japan refused to agree to a
mutualization of the Manchurian rail
road.
That Japan is the one nation that
has been silent on the plan for a gen.

Vermont to visit her sick mothor. At
a town a few miles from her parent's

asked the chaufTeur to drive her with
as much speed as possible to her
destination.
The roads were very bad, an'! the
<^ar. making good speed up hill and
down dale, over rocks and ruts,
seemed bound to shake overboard its
occupants.
After a little of this jolting the
chauffeur turned to his fare an 1 de-

"What impudence!" exclaimed
Thais X.
"Oh. ma'am, it is not from impu-
