Mtxlco'a Attitude Defiant.

At the same time, Mr. Knox still has tbe subject under immediate considera tion and the final determination as to when the note shall be dispatched will not be known before Its actual departure. ine administration has been hrourht to this attitude by the unexpectedly defiant tone of tbe Mexican reply to Secretary Knox's September note. The secretary had earnestly requested the Mexican government to take measures to protect American -Interests, lives and property in Mexico, and had adduced a long list of Instances where those interests had suffered enormously, To the sarmise or the state deDartment. the Mexican reply was full of resentment or tne secretary suggestions, ana even ent to tne point of impugning the ac curacy of the statement of alleged facts contained in the secretary's note.

It was charged that many of the Amer icana who complained of mistreatment were themselves to blame, having secret. ly participated in the rebellion, and it waa practically Intimated that the entire Drocco uprising would have been impossible except for American support It was IMS uncomoromlslna solrit In the Mexican reply that, brought the' ad ministration to tne conviction that it was due to the dignity of this government tnat a rurtBer nreaentatlon be made to the Mexican government, couched in such language a to place the statement be yond controversy and to oblige the Ma-dero government to meet the Just complaints of the United State In a proper spirit.

IS THERE A fNewYork We take pleasure in answering at cation below, expressing at the same In Motor oice, time author is numbered among the fiiendfi of the Sun: "Dear Editor I am eight years old. ''Some of my little friends say there is ho Santa Claus. "Papa says 'If you see it in the Sun it's tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? "113 West Ninety-fifth street.

VIRGINIA O'HANLON." Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by tbe of a skeptical age. They donot believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's, or children's are little.

Inthis great universe of oura man Is a mere Insect an ant in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the Intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes. Virginia, there Is a Santa v. la us. generosity and devotion exist, and you life its highest beauty and" joy.

Alas! How dreary would be the world it there were no Santa Claus! It would-be as dreary as If there were no Vlsginlas. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry', no romance to make tolerable this cilstence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal llght'with which chfldhood fills tbe world would be extinguished. 'Not believe in -Santa Claus! You might as well not believe In fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa 'Claus.

The most real things In the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the Of course pot, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or Imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable In the world. You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the nofse inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world, which not the strongest man, nor even, the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance can push a.side that curtain and it-w and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond.

Is it ail real? Ah, Virginia, in all, this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Sania Claus! Thank God! He lives and He lives forever. A thousand years from now. Virginia, nay," ten times ten thousand years from now. He will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

tlon of the case. Deputy Prosecutor McAllister, who is In charge in the grand Jury room, refuses to talk regarding the case. Captain Holts refused to admit that tha detective report and documentary material were called for by the grand Jury- He said that his. oath prevented his talking regarding the matter at all. The police Investigation, which threw light on the Knabe mystery, gradually was abandoned.

Captain Holts expressed his belief that Dr. Knabe committed suicide. Deputy Prosecutor McAIlurter has expressed tle opinion that the Knabe death was not a suicide and those familiar With the Investigation believe that the grand Jury desires to know just what evidence the police found. Much of this was never made public, the detectives saytng it waa of a private and confidential nature. The inquiry probably wrtl extendi into next week.

A final report is not expected before the last of the week. SOCIAL SIDE OF CHURCHES. The Sunday school of the Merritt Place E. church will hold its Christ mas entertainment Wednesday evening. Mrs.

fEAR AUSTRIA HAS SCHEME LONDON. December 2L The anxiously awaited Ottoman courier -arrived today from Constantinople bearing fresh Instructions to the Turkish peace plenty potentiaries. In view of the forecast of these instructions telegraphed from Con stantinople, it was feareO that their con tents were likely to precipitate trouble. The peace envoys of the Balkan states and of Turkey met again at St James' palace this afternoon. After a session of two hours they adjourned at r6 o'clock until Monday.

inere la little doubt that the foreign ambassadors here in their "conversations" made the necessary, arrangements to Intervene with the hope of preventing an Irretrievable rupture of the peace con ference until they have tried to bridge the gulf separating tt, allied Balkan nations from the Turks on the Question of the -future of Adrianople. It Is understood that the contention of the Balkan delegates Is that the Ques tion of revictualling thie fortresa was settled by the terms ot the armistice and that they have no power to Interfere with those terms. Dr. Daneff, head of the Bulgarian delegation, said after the ad journment that it was uncertain whether the delegates would be able to reach a i definite decision even on Monday. The Turks said that in view of the con- tentlon of the allies that the revictualling of Adrianople waa not a condition of the armistice, they must apply to their gov ernment lor instructions on that point Received by King George.

The peace delegates were received In audience today by King George, at Buck ingham palace. Each mission -waa re ceived separately by his majesty, wbo in a few cordial words impressed the envoys with his earnest hope that success -would attend their negotiations. The agreement reached by the powers on the subject of autonomy of Albania, and in regard to a commercial outlet on the Adriatic sea for Servta, has largely dissipated the nightmare of an European war. The newspapers of Europe with virtual unanimity hail this agreement' the first result of the ambassadorial "con- versations," with tbe greatest satisfaction as marking the settlement of the larger crista -Servia, on the suggestion of Great Britain. France and Russia, has declared her readiness to accept ne principle of Albanian autonomy and neutralization.

This move has the object of making Austria-Hungary exDiain tbe reason for her I armaments and say what her ultimate de sires really are. Auatrla May Make Trouble. The fear la entertained tn many quar ters that Austria-Hungary la planning a scheme which, if it proves successful, will make Bervla a kind of vassal state. It is rumored that among other conditions of a financial, commercial and economic char acter Austria-Hungary Intends to impose a limitation on tne strength or tne Servian army which neither the Balkan league nor Russia wouia ever aamit. This situation.

It is said, explains whv Austria-Hungary is keeping twelve of her army corps on the war footing, four of them ready to cross the Servian frontier, four of them In Gallcla. near the Russian frontier, two in Bosnia and Hersegovlna and two along the Italian frontier.

Weaver had driven about Sunday. afternoon, when Morgan saw him and ordered him to back out The auto mobile continued on Its way until the roller, under the guidance of Morgan, ran up behind and pushed It out Into the street car track. The hand of the law entered in the person of patrolman Moa-bv. He stopped all further tactics by nlacinr Morgan under arrest, charged with resisting an officer, drawing deadly weapons and malicious trespass.

Mosby said Morgan refused to come down off the road roller when ordered. nd threatened mm witn a hammer. Weaver said the damage to his automobile amounted to $JUU and contended that Morgan bad no right te run Into his machine. Judge' Collins ended the argument to day when he told Weaver who also is a contractor, that ne did wrong in driving on the road after being warned by Mor gan, who was requested py tne- city to keep traffic on tne street. Testimony of a watenman was tnat weaver ran over a barricade at Thirtieth and College when he first entered the street "It eeerns to me," said Judge Collin, "that the proper place to have settled this case would hare been in the civil court.

The law was not justified in taking a hand at that stage of the game. The contractors were acting on thetr rights as far as Weaver was concerned. Whatever damage either (thinks he suffered is within the field of clvu action. Evidence Buowa That Morgan, did resist the officer, howefcer."
