MEXICAN ARMY.

PorIlrso Diaz Has Been Preparing for
 War for Twenty-Five Yeafs.
 Reviews of Reviews
 Tn the quarter of a century that Porfirio Dfaz has been enforcing peace in Mexico he has been preparing for war. Tn the promotion of railroad oonstrue- tion, the Encouragement of agriculture, mining and manufacturing, the establish ment of schools, and the improvement of harbors the national defense has not been forgotten. Starting with the disorganized troops that placed him in power in 1S76 and those that opposed them, he has built up an army Of 1000 men--an army well fed, vel clothed, well equipped and well officer ed--and has perfected arrangments quickly to increase the fighting force to at least eo.060 fin case of war. Crediting the country with popuAa- ton of 14,000, 900. Mexico now has 2 soldier to every 5i9 inhabitants, and within q short time following deciar- ation of war against foreign foe the ratio could be changed to one to every 23S. At the present time the armed men of Mexico are not confined to the regular army. In fact those constant ly carrying arms and possessing knowl- edge of military organization and dis cipline, outside of the army. almost equal in number the regular troops They form what is known as the first army reserve, and include State police organizations. the rurales, the fiscal guards, and the police of the various cities, in all about 26,000 men. In the event of war the forces composing the first army reserve would be immediate ly mobilfzed, and In addition, the reg ular army would be placed on the war footing provided by the military law of the republic. This law requires an in- crease of thirty-three per cent in inc fantry and artillery and twenty five per cent in cavalry.

POrposed Amendment to the Women of
 the Confederacy.
 At the Gulfport Convention General irvine Walker of Charleston, s. C., made a strong appeal for aid from the U. D. C., for interest of the proposed memorials to the women of the Con federacy. The President General had recommended the work of the '. C. V, and IT. s. C. V. to the convention and having referred to a committee this and other recommendations they re- ported as follows:
 First-That the United Daughters of the confederacy approve the movement for which the veterans and their Sons are working to honor our mothers, the noble women of the Confederacy and wishes them God speed in the glorious work.
 second-That the U. D. c. heartily respond to the fraternal spirit ex- pressed by the Veterans, through their 3istinguished Commander in Chief, and desire to meet the same. Joining hands in this great work. by morally sup porting them in their efforts to honor in everlasting form and for the good of future generations. our heroic moth CTS. who so ably aided the cause which we shall ever hold dear and just.

 The New YorR police say woman can always be trusted to talk under persuasion of the third degree. Who wouldn't when put in close dark cell in summer or winter for twenty-fou hours? Twice that term will reduce the strongest man to a nervous wreck a woman becomes hysterical and both say whatever Is wanted. When the courts refuse to accept such testimony and grand juries inquire what law jus tifieA torture, we may see the heEinnlng of a great reform. The testimony of Valet Jones under torture secured the conviction of Patrick, cost. the State s20o.0oO. and. possibly, made the law responsible for wrong which wrecked the life of an innocent man.

 Rome Jan. 12.--Free bread will be provided for the poor of italian cities by the sale of special stamps and pos tai cards under 8 scheme which has been devised by Sisnor Giuseppe San giorgi.
 The money made by the sale Of the stamps and cards will be used to main tain in each oe the chief cities Casa del Pane" (house of bread) where the hungry will receive aims of bread.
 It is expected that these special stamps which may be affixed to letters in addition to the ordinary postage stamps, will have brisk sale not only among the charitable but also among philatelists who must always have specimens of unique issues.
 Budapest, Jan. 12.-The Budapest police have arrested a criminals we'd ding party, among whom were several "wanted" thieves and "undesirables.
 The bride was Marie Strumpf, an Austrian woman who wished to avoid expulsion from the city as an Indesir- able alien by marrying a citizen of Bu- dapest. A husband was found for her in Rudolph Woicek, burglar. who was willing to give her his n4me and pro- tection for s1o and q wedding suit.
 While the party who numbered sev- enteen were driving in carriages to the registfar's office, the police stirrounde1 the procession and escorted the whole gang to the police station. There the wedding party were called upon to prove their Identity.
 As a result the groom and several guests were arrested on charges of theft and burglary. while the bride and two other women were expelled from the city.
 Rome, Jan. 1z.-False whiskcrs, trayed Luigi PeFfini, who for years has been impersohating Count Alfredo Per rlnU.
 The bogus Count was taken to the police station to explsin a strange street incident. Cries for help issuing from a closed carriage caused 1t to be stopped and Perrini was found inside with woman whose face was bleed ing. She complained that the man had scratched her face and they were both taken to the police station. During their examina ion 1t became obvious that the mans lair and whis" kers were false and when the police removed them they recognized him as the bogus Count, whose arrest had been ordered years before.
 Perrini had been pursuing LIS career of fraud in Rome, Milan and other Italian cities, ordering 1ewelry, auto mobiles, etc., in Count Perr'no's namc and then absconding ..-ithout paying for the goods.

 My Dear Co-workers:
 l Too late to give notice in last week | columns, we received advice from the | Secretary General, U. D. C., that Ala bama Division Chapters were not | promptly sending the lists of their of- | ficers--which should have been in the hands of the Secretary January l. | Postals were sent by first mail to each Chapter That all may be fully
 advised, however, Mrs. Rapley Corre-
 spending Secretary, writes us urging | that you be reminded of giving the number of your Chapter, and number | of members, also that the usual 29 cents be enclosed Mrs. A. l.. Dowdell | for carriage of the Gulfport minutes 1 (either mail or express.) Should any Chapter require greater number sent than on last year cor responding greater amount must be
 sent. Mrs Henderson, President Gen
 eral, is anxious the minutes should be
 from the press at an early date, so
 ask that all promptness be observed in | carrying out these instructions and re- l quests.
 Some time since Mrs. Pickens pub lished an article for your benefit. the auxiliary work, stating she had re- ceived the certificates for the children How many Chapters have sent for then
 for distribution for the auxiliaries? We do not regard tnlS department ol our work with as much seriousness and interest as we should. Either the aux diaries should be given prominence 1T the Chapter work or the children should become members of our organi'
 zation as soon as they can imbibe tho
 spirit or learn the simple fact whicl specifies our meetings. I call atten' ton to the amendments adopted al Union Springs in regard to auxiliaries
 their directors and the State Director C. of C.. and urge that Mrs. Pickens bs sent reports of the progress of the IC. of C. work
