Washington, Dec. 5.—^President Wilson was requested in a resolu tion introduced today in the sen- ate lo serer dipiomatic relations with Metico. ■' The r^okution was offered by jnator Fall, Republican of New Mexico, who as chairman of a sub committee investigating the Mexi can situation, declared evidence had been found which “would astound the world." It also asked that the president withdraw recognition of the €arranza government. Senator Fall boldly charged that the Mexican embassy, the consulate generals in New York and San Francisco and the consulates along the border with the knowledge and consent of President Carranza, had been actively engaged in the spreading of Rolshe InThrilnit^rStates! "iSvYJence’ i was said, would, be forthcoming to bear out the charge. By this reso lution which was sent to the for eign relations, committee of the senate for consideration tomorrow, the whole Mexican problem, ad mittedly grave in view of refusal of the Carranza administration to release Consular Agent Jenkins from the penitentiaiy at Puebla, will be put before congress. The lat^it note from the state depart ment calling for the immediate re lease of Jenkins was laid before the Mexican government on Mon day. Word to this effect reached the department today, but there was no intimation as to when an answer might be expected. An early report from the committee on the Fall resolution is expected and this will put the question squarely % before the senate, aroused to a high pitch by recent murders-of Ameri cans in Mexico and the treatment of the American consular agents. hot sc&UUnc water and clear the roads!

A great snowstorm had blot ted out every country turnpike and the rail road connecting his town, with Mayvllle. “Boyq mopes around like a lost soul,” commented his sister Nettle to her mother. “If his fellow ace of airship fame in France, Willis' Thorne, cannot get here in time for the holiday festivities we shall have n dull season of it" “It's Muriel Lane," asserted Mrs. WIsner. “A year ago this time both you and Boyd had the time of your lives at Lane farm and the contrast is trAAmxx jt\\a. v\nnr Knv u “And ‘the poor boy,' " mimic] Nettie, “is on pins and needles of sue- Christ Bom Louis* JT, Elmendorf The world, late racked with pain through bloody years, Has climbed its weary long-pathed Calvary, Where millions died, as Christ, pense. Of course you know that he proposed to Muriel a week ago?" “I didn’t know It, but I suspected It would come to that." “Muriel asked him to give her a few days to think It over, so she would be sure, she knew her own mind. Then this storm came along and the tele* phone wires have been down until this morning.” But that very day Boyd WIsner heard from the prudent maiden who sought to make no mistake In solving life’s greatest problem—marriage. His quickened heart throbs were a series of thrills as he was called to the phone at his office, and more alluring than the soft cooing' of. a dove were the fluttering words, “Is that you, Boyd?” " * • “Yes, darl— I mean Miss* Lane.” “Don’t be *illy, Boyd.

Twenty miles distant, lovable and loving Muriel Lane looked out upon a bleak, white expanse, surrounding the old farm home. Her six little brothers and sisters nestled about her. ' “We can trim up the Christmas tree with last year’s spangles, children," she said. “I want to see Santa Claus!" whim pered little Tim. “If he can land on a roof and come down the chimney, he can ride on the air. Oh, sister, there’s the telephone.” It was the first time it had rung for cheeks grew to wild rose beauty an her eyes sparkled as the words came: “Look to the northeast for a new star at nine o’clock tonight.” “Boyd—” began Muriel, flutterlngly. “No, Santa Claus, by air. Have the tree ready and keep the children up.” xnat wise little head of Muriel com prehended. She was as unsettled and expectant as the children. The tree was trimmed, the caudles all ready for lighting. She took a chair at the win dow and began telling them stories. Finally she leaned closer to the pane and strained her glance. A speck of luster held her vision until It had re solved itself Into mingled colors of red, white and blue. “Wrap yourselves up warmly,” she ordered. "We will all go out and look for Santy,” and a great hush came down as the group discovered “the new $tar,” and the gutlines of B-32 be came clearly distinct In the crystalline air and there settled to ehrth—Willis Thorne’s airship driven by Boyd WIs ner. that they might free Others from wrong, and black op* pression’s tears.
