SCOn REPORTS TO WtSHINCTON REPORT PLEASING TO CAPITAI Press Dispatches Indicative of Agreement Grateful to Officials and Observer^. Washington, May 3.?A long telegram in code reached heV war department late tonight from Gen. Scott al El Paso, giving a fell report on hit conference with Gen. Obregon, the Carranza war minister. Up to the time tne message was decoded, the Washington government had no official knowledge of the resul of tb? discussion between the two military advisers, although administration officials had made no secret of their satncAflM Aienoffthoc CQViflP i9iav;uuu wiiu ^noo uto^uwuvu ...c that an understanding 'had been reached and danger of a clash with the de facto Mexican government removed. Gen. Scott sent a brief message during the day that he was preparing a full report for later transmission to Secretary Baker. The secretary and Gen. Bliss, acting chief of staff, were on the watch for the report all day and until far into the night. As the hours passed, however, it became clear that no action towards ratification of the agreement could be taken until after President Wilson had studied Gen. Scott's dispatch tomorrow. Wilson's Own Hand. The Mexican problem is being han died by the president personally, it is ^ understood, and no step will be taken without his sanction. It has been hinted that Mr. Wilson suggested the El Paso conference. Officials apparently saw no reason to doubt he accuracy of press reports from El Paso giving the substance of the tentative agreement and it seemed probable that the tentative agreement would be promptly ratified unless state department officials find some element in it which requires further discussion. An indication of the thorough accord of the administration with the plan hit upon by Gen. Scott and Gen. qObregon of solving the border problem came with information that the state and treasury departmenqts were preparing to take early action on applicaqtions for exportation of various shipments of arms and ammunititon to the Caranza forces. So much doubt has surrounded the attitude of the various Caranza generals in the northern States of Mexico that no war supplies have been given clearance since the American troops started in pursuit of Villa. A total of 10,000,000 rounds of ammunition is said to be _ awaiting forwarding permits. Carranza Needs Arms. Officials of the eMricnn embassy took up these questions wifli the state department today in an informal and entirely friendly manner. The campaign inaugurated against the Zapata forces in southern Mexico makes it necessary that full supplies he assured for the Carranzn forces operating there. State and treasury department officials conferred later and it is understood that Oarranza's representatives were promised that if the results of the Scott-Obregon conference were as satisfactory as pictured in press reports and the agreement was ratified by both governments ammunition shipments would be expedited as the Washington government was anxious to da all in its power to aid in restoring peace in all parts of Mexico. State department officials are understood to have pointed out that the only reason for the delay in the shipments was the difficulty of making certain that the war material would go to loyal Oarrnnza forces.

The Chronicle?$1 per year. ++ + A COLUMN OF HOME CIRCLE The touch of some people Is moral death; to know others Is Inspiration ' and life. Pain and suffering are lnseperably connected with hate. Cultivate gardens of flowers and not weeds in your heart To be beautiful we should be good. As you open the window of your house > to admit sunshine and fresh air, to drive out malaria, so also, should you ; open the windows of your soul, drive i out the gloom and despair anl let in s the blessed sunshine of God's love and s joy. ! A beautiful writer has said: "If . there be a pleasure on earth which > angels cannot enjoy and which they r might almost envy man the posses sion of, it is the power of relieving distress. Every kindly act we do but ; inclines us more and more toward [ such deeds, and we become readier to do the same again and with more enjoyment. Every kindness done to others in our daily 'walks advances us nearer those great souls which muke , the age they live in memorable. Happiness is the inalienable right of childhood. Give a child half a chance and it will make a joy of life. God mude it carefree. The sorrows of life aud death are like a dream to it. "Heaven lies about it" and it sees visions beautiful. Its father is tlib noblest and wisest of men, its mother the dearest and tenderest and best in .he world. Every pleasant man and woman is its friend, and the world is a line and wonderful place that it hopes later to explore. It lives the life tvf the heart and of the imagination aud has no troubles except when the tyrannical hand of some adult rudely deprives it of legitimate joy. All possible charities of life ought to be cultivated, and when we can neither be brethren or friends, let us tie kind neighbors and pleasant acquaintances. Our life is what we make it. Most people will find difficulties and hadsliips enough without seeking their troubles as a part of the educational discipline necessary to fit the mind to arrive at the highest good. Some of us, as we grow old, become so oppressed by the cares and sorrows of mature life that we quite forget the days of our youth. The pains and pleasures of childhood seem so trivial that we fail to realize that a child's sorrows are as keen and probably Keener, than anything we know in adult life. We forget the exijhislte joy that a new toy gave cs, and the palpitating pleasures of a visit to town, the ecstatic delight of a day in he woods. And we forget too, the depth of anguish that came with each disapiK>lntment. d e have heard a great deal about love in a cottage. It is a pretty sentiment, very poetical and captivating to those who have been used to luxury and refinement, but can you pay for your cottage? The house first and the bride after; the means first and the wife to follow. This is the plainest common sense. Great expectations are often great disappointments. Measure the stature of a man, his er to swim in the rough tides, his mastery over himself, his energy, self respect, self-reliance aufl self eontrok Gifted with these, if heJ^ave but enough to find you the humblest hut he will lead you skyward, sunward and never downward. Let all our little kindness be from a loving heart, and not formal acts for the world to see. Let us not wear two faces?the one in company, the other behind the scenes. But let us be kind, loving and true at home, when the world is not looking on. The home in which love reigns supreme is a heaven on earth. "The bosom which does not feel love is cold; the mind which does not conceive it is dull; the philosophy which does not accept it is false."' And the only true re ligiou has pure and reciprocal love for its basis. Be kind and affectionate to mother. Let it be the greatest pleasure to perform the little loving kindnesses that add so much to the brightness of a home. Meet father with a kiss of love. Ba a ray of sunshine in your own home. Happiness ought to be contagious aud to make it so the good things of life must be shared. Not merely with our family but with our neighbors and acquaintances, our townsmen, and the strangers within our gates." We should use our blessings, not put them ui> in lavender leaves, or camphor balls to keep?but scatter them broadcast, share them with other. If we >ave blooming roses, share them; if >e have line grapes on our vines, I bare them; if we have beautiful pictures, invite people in to see them; if we have helpfuld thoughts, give them away.
