There Is
i
yHY AN ARMISTICE? There is no war there has been no war no war
V V has been Panned or Piected- So reqst of the South American
w envoys for an armistiee is a request for something that in the nature
of things is unnecessary. Certainly the United States cannot relax viplance.
Certainly the United States cannot withdraw from the port of Vera Ctbi. Cer-
tainly the United States cannot waive the main point just now at issue which
according to the president is reparation for an insult to the American govern-
ment by a man nameo Hnerta down at Mexico city.
And an armistice on Hnerta's part is not necessary because he has not made
war on the United States or indicated an intention to do so. No armistice be-
tween the warring factions within Mexico itself is likely to be favorably thought
of for each side would think such a"pause would only strengthen the other faction
for future operations.
So an armistice under existing conditions will simply mean that the status
quo will be preserved that the United States will make no further move into the
interior and that Haerta's soldiers will destroy no more bridges on the railroad
out of Vera Cruz.
That would be very nice and no doubt all parties will be glad to wait a
little while to see if some sort of settlement can be reached without an armed
dash. If Haerta is in a mood to talk things over nothing can be lost by waiting
for him to think about the position in which he has pieced himself.
If the right thing is ultimately to be done the United States with power
unlimited to enforce its will can well afford to withhold its hand for a time
pending negotiations for settlement of the points in issue without resort to
organised killing. There has been killing enough. It is peace that everybody
wants always provided that it be an honorable and lasting peace.
o
It has been the boast of El Paso that she never took a backward step; but
the toast must be qualified now that the city administration has definitely
abandoned the plan for free removal of garbage. Free Temoval of garbage is one
of the cardinal principles of a clean dry. It is to. be hoped that thbackwara
step is but temporary and that Jhe ground thus lost will soon berecovered.
The present policy is a mistake every way.
Under the
IT'S THE eternal sunshine partly that makes life so serene here on this
border. Nobody can get mad or stay mad under this clear blue sky in balmy
April days. For the time being nothing k to happen to disturb oar border
serenity. The fight again localizes in the south and president Wilson can have
out his naarxd with Huerta without disturbing the peace in the north-assuming
that Villa is talking in good faith. Mediation by the South "American power
will take time and meanwhile the United States sits tight and waits for de-
velopments. ' t
The thing is not going to be really settled for many years anywhere from
25 to 75 years. So El Pasoans may as well make up their minds to go on about
their business as if Mexico did not exist build up the "back country" develop
the vaHey populate Arizona New Mexico and west Texas and thas secure our-
selves against future disturbance of business by happenings below the Rio Grande.
Not counting northern Mexico at all El Paso has about 600000 square miles
to "draw to." That is equal to about a fifth of the United States. We ought to
be able to live off that even if the Mexican Taarkets be cut off from us entirely
for the rest of time. There is no use counting on anything or even hoping for
anything south of the Rio Grande then when the restoration comes it wfll
come as a Kg sorprise and add just that much more to El Paso's resources.
Meanwhile El Paso is safe infinitely safer than is Colorado for instance
where a state of insurrection exists demanding the service of United States
troops to queU-it. Let as be thankful we are not in Colorado. Let us be thankful
that El Paso is as serene and secure as a church.
o
The New Apartment House Idea
ONE REASON why Paris is Paris and everybody must go there and why there
is a lure that no other place in the world exacUy possesses is that Paris
has the courage of its convictions. The Frenchman is not afraid of ideas.
A plan for a new kind of apartment house that breaks into all the firmly intrenched
ideas of building apartment houses has been carried out in Paris and seems per-
fectly sBccessf uL Paris has strict civic scruples against overshadowing the streets
with tall apartments but this new idea of the step or apartment terrace actually
prolongs the sunshfne in the street and increases the outlook to the sky.
The houses are built in steps or terraces each story retreating six or eight feet
Jeaving a terrace where are placed terracotta garden boxes on the ledges which
with palm or fern boxes in the windows and jars of plants about make a beautiful
garden and outdoor porch in front of each apartment. The whole building looks like
the hanging gardens of Babylon.
The terraced house is new only in.modern life andery new in flats which
hitherto have only frowned on the streets. Before Columbus came in this country
the indians of the southwest and farther south built terraced houses. In the mxadlc
ages roofs met over the street below making it dark dirty and dangerous. In our
day the house fronts have gone straight up making a less frowning aspect but ons
that still darkens the street. This most modem idea of the terraced apartments
with palms and flowers on each terrace gives the street sunlight and sky and
gardens and play and star gazing places for the flat dwellers.

Th" Beginnings of Spanish
Settlement In the El Paso
District 1581 to 1685
(Part III The Old Church at Ciudad Juarez and Af Mated Missions.
Earliest Spanish Settlers.)
For the EI Paso Herald by ANNE HUGHES KEAN
(Cooperating with Prof. Herbert E. Bolton. University of California)
VETANCURT. who delights In pic-
turesque and edifying details
gives the following account of
eVents connected with the building of
the church of the Mission de Nuestra
Senora de Guadalupe In what Is now
Ciudad Juarez: "There was no timber
at hand for the construction of the
edifice. Garcia making this lack or
material the subject of prayer some
inuians came dud couducteu nun a
league and a halt away to a rfroie ot
beautiful pines from which nu cut
timber and carried it lo the Mausu
pueblo witnout much labor.
"Later when Garcrn was building :he
monastery J?'ra if las de Herreru le-
marked to him that ne was lnaMnt; a.
very large number of cells cue!
replied that the cells would ba too lew
for the number who must dwell in .
monastery thus prophesying the pu-
eblo revolt of i5j and the retirement
of the Spaniards to SI Paso."
Dedication of the Cornerstone.
The temporary mission buildings
erected by Garcia were soob replaced
by more substantial structures. In
1SS Garcia records the dedication of
the cornerstone of the church as fol-
lows; "On .April i lsSS. I. Fray Garcia de
San Francisco bless the first founda-
tion stone and foundations of the
church of this conversion and congre
gation ox tne Jaansos ox iNoestra se-
nora de Guadalupe del Passo patron

that It nfsy be confirmed rh the future

it as above.

The church. -which was en the. right
bank of the Rio del Jforte and a half
league from that stream was appar-
ently completed In 1668. Vetancurt.
writing about 16S1. gives an account of
the dedication services held in Janu-
ary of 1668. as follows.
Ola Church Dedicated lees.
"On the slope of a rocky wood on
the bank of the Bio del Norte at the
pass in the year 1669. the conversion
of the Lansos. by another name Man-
sos was made by the Rev. father Fray
Garcia de San Francisco and he buitt
a monastery where are housed re-
ligious with a very capacious church
dedicated to Nuestra Senora de Guada-
lupe Mexicans. In 1668. on January IS
the- second Sunday after Epiphany it
was dedicated with sauce selemmite by
the Rev father. Fray Jjian 'XUatauthe:

governor soldiers-and other natives of

rebellion they number more than

Father Garcia was aided by the gov-

little kltty-glrl as ever lived and never
got into mischief.
Everybody In the village knew that
Mrs. Tabby who rived in the first floor
apertmftit of Mr. Jones's barn was go-
ing to entertain the sewing circle on
Thursday afternoon. She had trade
cat-bird pies and delicious candied
mouse tails and everything else to de-
light the hearts of her guests. Her
house was as clean as a pin and she
told the children that the first one
caught in any mischief would be put to
bed without a bite to eat.

Garcia's connection with the El Paso
missions extended over a period ot
aoout IS years. His last signature in
the burial records was on January 3d
1671 and In the baptismal records on
September 8 1671. His death occurred
on InnMnr 1A7S In the convent nf
j Senecu where he was buried. His life
work received high commendation from
the chroniclers of his time by whom h
was regarded as a mirror of virtue.
Missions of ban Francljco and La
boledad.
Between 1B59 anri 16S0 two other mf.
Lstons were founded within the Bl Paso
aisu-icc on the Mexican side oi toe iuo
del Norte. Though the evidence is not
extensive it is quite clear. San Fran-
cisco de los Somas was one of these
two missions and was located appar-
ently at La Toma the place where
Onate first touched the Rio del Norte
on his entrance into New Mexico.
Vetancurt says. "Twelve leagues be
fore arriving at this place Nuestra
Senora de Guadalupe is a chapel with
one religions dedicated to Xuestra
Padre San Francisco where there are
some Christians of the nation which
A they eaJQ Zamas and Zumanas on the
Dans or ine river at te place wnere it
flows toward the east first place
where the wsgons arrive on the out-
ward trip."
La Saledad the second mission was
70 leagues west of El Paso and 14
league from Mission San Antonio de
Casas Grandes. of which it was a
"visits." though distant from El Paso.
It is always mentioned in the records
as belonging to that group of missions
and of the conversion of San Pablo of
New Mexico.
Spanish Settlers nt HI Pno.
The occupation of El Paso (now
Ciudad Juarez Max.) by Spanish set-
tlers seems to have taken place about
the time of'the first mission establish-
ment. Capt Andres Lopez de Gracia
was appointed tbe first alcalde mayor
of El Paso by governor MendiaabaL or
New Mexico. lfS-1660. Capt. Gracia
wa ajiccevded 'by Maestre de Campo
tfcfego de TrvxlXnk who was also an
apaututee of the .governor of New
Mex!c . .

names found in the baptismal and
burial records of the church of Guada-
lupe before 1680. Domlnguez Gracia
Ramlres Lopez Garcia. BerdlqueL
Baca. Archuleta. Zebera Gutierrez and
Fuentes.
The first marriage of Spaniards re-
corded at the church of Guadalupe was
dated November S. 178. the contraet-
ing parties being Francisco de Arena-
leta and Dona Bernadlna Baca.
From the church records It is learned
that before 1680. 830 Mansos If the hB-

nice of that building so that ther
would be sure to fire high enough

highest point in Sunset Heights and
was ready for action within two min-
utes after the order was given. They
are a wonderful organization and they

"El Paso is as peaceful as The
Hague from outside appearances."
said T. N. LlnvlUe. a business man of
Albuquerque Ji. &L. who was in the
city Monday; "From what I nave
heard and read in the dispatches in
tbe papers I wouldn't have been sur-
prised to have found the city tinder
martial law -with a real engagement
in progress along the border when I
stepped off the train. However I
realize fully from mv acquaintance
with southwestern conditions that an
Invasion' of EI Paso would be prac-
tically an Impossibility. Even if the
troops were not here to resist an at-
tack should one be made there are
enough able bodied men in this city
to handle the situation. With revo-
lutions occurring in quick succession
the past several years in Mexico El
Paso assuredly is well prepared for
any eventuality. It must be a source
of pride to El Paso people generally
to know that under exarrjng circum-
stances the commercial activity of the
city Ss continuing without interrup-
tion." "After hearing Dr. A. J. Barton talk
about the Baptist college. I am con-
vinced that the project would be of
great benefit to El Paso." said T L.
Peach. "ir Barton made those who
heard him see the financial advan-
tages to be gained by establishing
such a college here. He put the propo-
sition up in a straightforward and
businesslike manner and after
weighing what he said one cannot
help but see that a college here would
mean a great deal in the progress of
the city. El Paso is fast coming to
be known as a city of commercial
and industrial importance and why not
make It an educational center as well''

Home Sweet Home
BV GEORGE FITCH.
Author of "At Good Old Slwash."
1-pBBTaB are two kinds of homes in
I this country. There) is the home
to which we go every evening to
groan over the month's bills cuss th
furnace complain about the toughness
of the meat at dinner time and lay
plans for escaping to the theater or
some other abode of Joy. And there is
"Home Sweet Home " ....
Most of us lore our homes but con-
ceal the fact with Spartan flrmnese.
But we all love our Home Sweet Home.
It is .the home which we have lost or
mislaid and on it we pour out all our
sentrraen and yearning.
"Home Sweet Home is either 10ti
miles or 20 years away. It usually
isn't much of a home to begin with but
'after It recedes Into the distance its
owner begins to make improvements in
it He takes the draughts splinter
floors and lazv heating stove out of It
does away nith the leaky roof and the.
cellar which has ambition to become a
mill pond in tbe spring and dismisses
the lo. se -nd flippy wallpaper from
his mind. Then he begins to add wings
porticoes boudoirs galleries drawing
rooms fl) ing balconies and conserva-
tories to it- He runs a mental vacuum
cleaner through It taking out all the
harsh words and quarrels which have
stuck around from former times and
fills It full of family love happiness
hope affection and industry when an
this la done he plants the Garden of
Eden around it paints it In tamtnons
colors and then stands off snd admires
his work. After he has looked at it a
while he breaks down and crleav be-
cause the place In which he is now
living has onlv It rooms and silver-
plated plumbing

CHAPTER VI.
( 4 OLORS seen by candle light
f differ with the morning" runs
the line -of an- old poem. Cer-
tainly to persons of impressionable or
mercurial temperament affairs that
seemed gloomy at night when one was
weary assume a different aspect on a
bright morning after a good nlgbt'a
sleep.
So to Edith Hale awakening from a
night of slumber unalsiuroed by
thoughts '" Tom's failure to keep his
appointment with her lite was not th
same kind of problem that it had been
last evening it hai been asserted that
we are more sane In the morning than
at night. Certainly Edith Hale was
her better normal self on this spring
morning.
She dressed rapidly with an appreci-
ation of the beauty of the saniignt of
the budding trees of life in general.
She flung w ide her window wnen her
toilet was completed and. leaning ou
drew in great breaths of the fresh air.
The trees in the orchard beyond -.er
window had put ou: little bods that
were swelling almost into Moan there
was a soft green haze over the distant
hills. It was spring she was yoaug;
Tom loved her and es ' she was sa.-
this morning that she locd hii. "
A knock at her door mad her tarn
and call "Come in" She smiled gladry
as Constance entered ready for break-
fast. "Good morning' ' Edith greeted her
cheerfully "Isn t this a lovely day
and Connie waan t 1 a little goose to
uk as diuv as i was last last nnnKr -iv-day
everything seems different?"
"Of course it does' ' Constance agreed
cordially. "I knew you were only tired
and disappointed last night."
"Such a wise g'rl as you are!" Edith
exclaimed kissing her rapturously. "I
suppose I was wrong to feel hart at
TonTs absence. But I did. Just tbo some
I don't now "
"Then forget that you ever did" Con-
stance advised. We are all moody
sometimes and cannot really help if.
Now let's go down to breakfast Aunt
will be wondering where we are."
An envelope lay at Edith's place at
the table and she tore it open eagerly
for it was addressed in Tom s handwrit-
ing. It was the note he had written
hastily yesterday afternoon after his
telephone message to her.
This letter may seem unnecessary
to you. darling." he wrote "out I can-
not go away without sending you Just
a line to tell you once more now sadly
disappointed I am not to be with yon
this evening. I am trying to console
myself with the thought that tomorrow
night come what may. we will be to-
gether at the dinner at which we are
to let our friends know that. I am the
most fortunate man in the world- Wlstui
I think of what it all means. Edith. I
can hardly believe that to such an un-
worthy person as myself this wondbr-
fl gift has come
"I know you love me enough to be
disappointed by my not being with vou
Una evening but by the time this
reaches you the een!ng without me
will be over and y-ou will remember
that nothing short of a catastrophe can
keep me awav tomorrow night. I be-
lieve the dinner is to be at 7 50. I shall
try o get out to Homewood and to you

Edith Hale read and reread the letter
her color deepening and her heart full
of affection for this min who loved her
so much How could she have thought
such horrid thinss about him last
rita-hf Even if he was not as hand-
some and as enthusiastic as Ralph he
was so good and faithful and trustful
that any girl might be prouj to win his
love
"You look mighty bright and bapny

Bat Edith Insisted that under the
circumstances she would prefer tLis
arrangement.
"The news of our engagement will
not be announced until the close of din-
ner yon know." she said "and it will
be easier for me if I have a compara-
tive stranger to talk to until then. '
-What about Ralph?" her father
queried. "He win want to sit by you. or
course.""
He looked at his daughter as he
made thjs query He had known f -some
time that Ralph was in love wrh
Edith and wondered if she knew it toe
He wan aba when she shook her head
decidedly.
"No!" she exclaimed. I don t wart
Ralph with me. Let him take Conine
oat to dinner. Would you like to have
Ralph by yon. dear?" looking across 1 1
Constance.
"I don't care who Is my companion at
dinner" Constance replied unconcern-
edly "so long as the affair goes off all
right. Tne conversation will be gen-
eral most of the time anyway aid

She did not add what was In her
mind namely that she did not care wbet
sat by her so long as Ralph did not sit
by Edith.
"Somehow." she said to herself later
as she arranged the f lowers In the a-
rious rooms in preparation for the even
lug's festivities. "I do not feel at all
confident of Raloh Morton's honorable
Intentions nowadays. I hope that I am
mistaken In my Judgment of biro. If so
I shall be onlv too happy to acknowl-
