It looks very much as though Villa stood between the United States and Mexico in the matter of recognition of the latter country’s government. If Mexico could take care of the disturber the disposition seems to be to take Mexico out of American pol- itics by recognizing her. At present the bandit is submissive. It is report- ed that he is abeying orders from the government and showing, perhaps, that he is a bit tired out He has about 600 men with him, but what those six hundred can do, under the inspiration of their leader, is a-plenty. Now Villa has been ordered ta gather his men, preparatory to surs render to the government, and his life has been guaranteed him. If he could be taken care of, thus preventing more raids on property being made by him, there would be a feat per- formed that would make it appear the new government means what it says when it declares its desire to have the friendship of America and an inter- course that savors, at least of civiliza- tion, It is quite possible that Villa does not get along well with the Bolshe- vists from America and other coun- tries recently arrived there. Perhaps he would prefer to surrender to his own government, which he seems to acknowledge, than to continue a war- fare in which the leadership must he shared with men of superior intellect. treacherous in no less a degree. but whose pleasures lie in different direc- tions from those of the Mexican out- law.

To the Editor of The Herald: In the closing months of a recent municipal administration there came an urgent call to relieve the con- gestion bulging the trafic of West Main street. We were assured of an absolute and pressing need. Action was decided upon. By a few rods ex- tension Court street could be opened to South High street and needed relief obtained. Property owners were sum- moned to appear and approve or ais approve this proposed extension. Offi- cials in charge reported in favor of the preject and raising funds by gen- eral tax. The powers that were de- cided the sum required should be provided by assessment of adjacent properties. Immediate payments were demanded and paid. The work necessary to extension was begun in mid-winter and soon after abandoned, leaving the vicinity in chaotic ccn- dition, an eye-.sore and disgrace to our city Citizens are informed that assessments paid in for this work have been used for other purfoses and the city without funds to com- plete the work begun. In the mean- time a proposition is made to open up a new street through Washington place at great expense by which to accomplish the same object, namely, to relieve West Main strect counges- tion. Why not first complete the work already Legun with that end in view on Court street and paid for? W it be discourteous to ask who is sponsible onaition of thing: Is it good business?

It seemed impossible that so small a boat could have weathered the storms of the Atlantic and finally come to rest in Boston Harbor. We visited the immense overlooking up by the village and the bay, the Commonwealth of memory of the first comers. “In the evening of that day, to fur- ther bring us in touch with the meet- ing of the anniversa we witncssed in Jordan hall a most notable dra- matic offering, ‘A Pageant of Pil- grims,” written and directed by Es- i ther Willard Bates of Roslyndale. The cast was made.up of young people from Boston university nd Union church. We saw Elder Brewster and his group of fellow-worshipers being rned to cease worshiping in any other way than that prescribed by law or to leave Scrooby Manor. We witnessed their arrival on the desolate shores of New England and something of their hardship during that first winter. We saw, too, their meet with Massasoit, the friendly Ind and their first Thanksgiving Day.

He reminded | us that the Pilgrims built their school and their meeting hcuse as soon as their houses were finished and that Congregationalism had given to this country Yale and Harvard and a great many other coileges foremost in the ranks of our educational insti- tutions.
