starvation of tens of thousands Of help
less women and children. His aim is
to depopulate the country and as he
says root out the breed Of insurgents.
Shooting would be too good for such

The Improvements that are in pro-
gress and contemplated in San Pedro
park will meet with the approval Of
all citizens who think that the breath
ing places of the city should be kept
free from material filth and social i'm
purities. There is no one of our pleas
ure parks in the city with any thing
like the natural attractions of San
Pedro park, and it is a matter of re-
greet and of just complaint as well
that this spot for which nature has
done so much, has been practically lost
to the enjoyment of the people on ac-
count of it's filthy condition. 1t is true
that money can be lily spared for
either street or park improvement at
present, but something can be done,
even if no more than to show that the
city is actually in earnest in trying
to restore the park to a semblance of
and attractiveness.
Great changes have been wrought
there in a few weeks and with the as
sistance of the citizens and the council
much more may be accomplished. 1t
is one of the places to which strangers
are invariably driven and 1t should
not be suffered to run wild without
the attention that it's importance and
natural beauty justifies.

Congress will not call a halt until

yield the needed revenue and at the
