London, March 16.?Stating un equivocally that the army "maneu vers" along the Mexican border are in reality designed as a demonstra tion against Japan, the Standard to day prints an article from its Ameri can correspondent that has caused a sensation in the British foreign office and in diplomatic circles. Tae Standard, editorially stand sponsor for it, and, despite the fact that the name of the correspondent's authori ty is withheld, the story is given general credence here. The article is as follows: "Mexican intimacy with Japan, which has been increasing to such an extent as to threaten* America with [the possibility of a disastrous flank attack in the event of war for the mastery of the Pacific, is the reason for the massing of the United States army in Texas and the concentration of American warships along the Mexican coast. America's military demonstration is a warning to Mex ico and also a notification to Japan that the United States will not tol erate the establishment of a Mexi can government pro-Japanese in sen timent. The American government Is fully resolved to go to any ex treme to bring an end to the danger of the Japanese using Mexico as a base for operations at any future time against the United States. The situation, therefore, could not well be more serious. "This information, which throws a new light on the sudden military ac tivitj' of President Taft, comes from a source whose authenticity cannot be questioned, and makes possible the following outline of the situa tion: "There has been developing for some time a strong anti-American feeling among certaia L ading Mexi cans, due partly to attacks on Mexi co published in Mexican muck-raking periodicals, and partly to a reai fear of pan-Americanism. This led Mexicans high in authority to de velop the most cordial feeling for Japan, which the Japanese,' for their own strategic purposes, have encour aged. Many thousands of Japanese are now residents In Mexico. Some estimates places the number at 100, 000. All would accept unhesitating ly military orders from Tokyo. "Lately there has been uneartheu unmistakable evidence that certain eminent Mexicans who are gradually obtaining a position where they can dictate Mexico's foreign policy, havt become bolder and bolder in their willingness to ally themselves with Japan. Some of these Mexicans even carried their pro-Japanese procliv ities to the extent of expressing a willingness to give Japan a naval .base on the Mexican coast. The Japanese diplomats would not accept openly such a concession at this time knowing that so complete a vio lation of the Monroe Doctrine would lead to immediate war with the United States. "My information indicates that President Diaz himself is friendly toward America. He does not look with favor on the development ot pro-Japanese sentiment, but he Is unable to control the situation. This is the condition of affairs that Presi dent Taft has been called upon to meet. HiB problem has been to chackmate the Mexican desire for a Japanese alliance' before it got be yond control. "America's military preparations are much more extensive than is generally known. Preliminary prep arations have been made for con centrating the country's whole fight ing strength against Mexico should future developments make this course necessary. "One of the two eventualities must be the outcome: Either the presi dent must be assured in a manner having no possibility of doubt that Mexico, ostensibly to restore order and protect International commercial interests, but In reality, to destroy utterly the power Oi those Mexicans whose hostility to America Is seek ing an outlet through Japanese chan nels." What Constitutes Success? Success is usually estimated by the i size of one's banking account. That 's but a coarse and mercenary way of judging. It leaves out of reckon ing other considerations, the pos session or the absence of which can ilon<? determine whether a man has or has not made a success of life. Tbe idle rich who toil not and spin not, but who squander time, money and health in fast living may. indeed, be termed wealthy men, but no sen sible person would rail them success ful. To turn ni?ht into day, to spend large sums of money upon actresses, to drink and gamble, all this stamps a man as disreputable, a disgrace to society, and a failure, for there can be no true success without charac ter. But there are wealthy men whose lives are free from vice and who seem to be a very pattern of prosperity, who yet are anything but successful. And this Is because much of their wealth is made by constant violation of law and by unrighteous attitude towards their business competitors. A man is nothing but a failure who makes his money by the sacrifice of conscience and of business honor. Nor is that man to be consldereu successful who constantly absorbs money and gives nothln? out. 1< live for one's self and ignore th' reasonable claims of others mp.y re suit in added wealth, but he who ? lives misses the best part of life an * therefore that life Is a fn'liirr The first essential of ?>!' ? <-/p<; life Is character, "no" "-;t^<-i ? BLEST?DIES' "ttranpe chW ?trieben. A HOLY NATION PICTURED March 26 "Sappy the people that fare thus! Happy the people whote God it Jehovah."?Paalm Uk:iS. W HEN. God accepted Israel' to mm be his people, he entered Into a Covenant or agree ment with them. He gave them the Law, represented in the Ten Commandments, as. the basis of the Covenant which Moses mediated. Is rael agreed to be faithful.to God, and to keep those commandments perfect ly. And God agreed that in that event he would bless them; they, should be his people, and by doing the things contained in the Law should live ever lastingly, not die. Not only so, but he promised to bless them in all the tem poral affairs of life. Israel failed to get these blessings, for the same reason that any other people would have failed; namely, be cause God's Law is perfect, the meas ure of a r^rfect man'ii ability: "Thou ehalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, mind, being and strength; and thou shalt love thy neighbor u thyself." Hence, the Israelites: contin ued to die, as their fathers had done; and as all mankind die?not being able to keep the Divine Law perfectly. Hippy it That People In our lesson the Prophet David pic tures the holy, happy, blessed nation of the Lord. It Is a picture of the future and not of the past. It Is an Ideal picture. It will be realized when Messiah's Kingdom shall have been established amongst men?when Sa tan's power shall be restrained, when he shall be bound, when the blessings of Restitution shall have uplifted man kind from sin and degradation and shall have brouaht them back to the image and likeness of God lost lu Eden, but reacqulred for our race through the sac rifice on Calvary. But that happy nation will ac quire additional ly, a happy home and world-wide Paradise. Even human perfection would not bring happiness if cyclones, tornadoes, blizzards, tidal waves, earthquakes, famines and pestilences continued. Thank God, the Bible's as surances are that the blessing of the Lord shall be, not only upon mankind, but upon all their earthly home. The earth shall yield her increase. The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad and blossom as the rose. The Lord will make his footstool glorious. ?Acts 3:19-21; Isa. 11:9; 65:25; Ezek. 87; Isa. 35:1; 00:13. Particulars Given by the Prophet Incidental to the blessed condition of the holy nation of the future, the Prophet mentions a deliverance from strange children: "Rid me and deliver me from the hands jj strange chil dren, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and whose right hand is the right hand of falsehood."?Psa. 144:11. In the Church of the present Age there are some whom the Apostle styles "bastards." or strange children. All may make the same profession and confession, but "the Lord knoweth them that are his," and in his due time shall separate the false or strange chil dren from the true aud will glorify the faintly ones as members of the great Messiah. The Christ. Then will come the time for dealing with humanity in general?the time described In our text, when humanity In general, under the Messianic Kingdom, will be privileged to become the holy and happy people of God?when Satan and sin will be banished and righteousness and Truth will flourish and the knowledge of the glory of the Lord will fill the whole rarth. The great Messiah undertakes to be the world's Life-Giver, Father, Regen erator. All mankind will be awakened from the tomb and have the opportu nity for rerpneratlon and full attain ment of human perfection and God likeness. Ilowe-er, for quite a time there will be etrauge children amongst men?those who will experience the blessings of that glorious time with out giving proper benrt responses. Not until the world shall have been rid of these by their dying the Second Death, will the fullness of happiness prevail amongst the children of men. 'Times of Refreshing Shall Come, and He Shell Send Jesus Christ" "Then your sons will be like plants, grown up in their youth; your daugh ters like c( rner-pUlars sculptured In the model r a palace."

Absence of Team Work?Lack of Harmonious Accord With the President. Washington, March 17.?Divided In both house and se late and lacking unity of action between congress and the executive. . This is the remarkable and un precedented condition in which the republican party will find Itself upon the assembling of the sixty-second congress in extraordinary session, two weeks from next Tuesday. In that crippled situation, the ad ministration Is to attempt to put through important tariff legislation and to account to public opinion for the war maneuvers. On the eve of assembling of what may prove to be one of the most im portant sessions of congress in a de cade the president and his cabinet are scattered, the old-time leaders of the party in congresu are, some of them, out of power and those re maining are at odds with each other and with their party associates. Confronting the republicans is a comparatively compact democratic organization, controlling the lowei branch of congress and one many is sues dominating the upper house through the progressive republicans. And the next presidential campaign will be in the making a year from this spring. Old-timers say that the republican party has not faced a more critical situation since its or ganization. Practically Democratic. But a moment's reflection is re quired to appreciate the position of [the republicans in congress. In the house the democrats have a majority of 47. In the senate the republicans will have a nominal majority of six, and it is nominal in every sense, toi it includes radically progressive re publicans, who have not hesitated in the past to vote with the demo crats. To all intents and purposes the sixty-second congress in practically democratic. By the same token, the president of the United States, while a republican, Is not regarded by many of his party associates as strictly partisan. There is no balm in Gilead for the old-time party man. "As to 1912, we are standing be fore an open grave," said one of the old-line leaders today. He was "seeing things" with a vengeance, but he was viewing them with the eyes of 30 years of experience. Lack of Accord With President. The republicans In congress feel keenly the lack of harmonious ac cord with the president. "Team work" they declare to be essential to party success, and there is not the remotest indication of it. It has been told before how the republicans In congress felt the pres ident's ignoring them in the presen tation of the Canadian rec'.procity agreement. With the sole exception of Mr. McCall of Massachusetts, the republicans in the house obtained their Information of the progress or those negotiations from the daily press, and the senate, except Mr. Lodge, did the same. In this pending Mexican Incident the republicans of prominence, who will be supposed to defend the ad ministration against the certain at tacks of the opposition, have yet, it Is said, to be taken into the confi dence of the executive. And they cannot find out, they complain, from the members of the cabinet, either, for, with the excep tion of Attorney General Wickersham and Secretary Dickinson, the cabinet does not seem to know much about the Mexican incident. And these two have been out of town most of the time since the movement began. WE SHALL KNOWN AS WE ARE KNOWN.
