Execution Of Americans IN
Nicaragua Causes Strain
WAR DEPT. INVESTIGATING
THOROUGH PROBE WILL BE-
MADE INTO AFFAIR AND SUM-
MARY PUNISHMENT WILL FOL-
Low If AMERICANS FOUND TO
BE FOLLOWING RULES OF WAR.

Washington, Nov. ia tense sit-
uation exists today as the result Of
the execution Of the two Americans,
Cannon and Grace. by order of the
president of Nicaragua.
The state department has adopted an
attitude of reserve and is awaiting
some sort OF an explanation from the
Nicaraguan government. # was as
sumed that the press dispatches re-
ceived last night from Managua were
accurate in the statement that the ren
we're executed after a continuation
trial on the charge that they had r.
tempted, by the use of dynamite mines
to blow up some of President Zeiss as
troop transports
If the department advices confirm
this story, the question at issue win
be whether the charge against the
men, assuming that 1t is proven, jus
tilted their execution. Probably every
thing viii depend upon the method
pursued by Cannon and Grace in their
attacks upon Zelaya's forces. IL IL
should appear that the Americans Slip
ped within the lines of the government
forces under disguise when they plant
ed their mines they should have been
treated as prisoners Of war on the
theory that an attack on a shin by
mine is legitimate act of lawful war.
In the latter case, there is no doubt
that President Zelaya will be called to
account and ample PREPARATION demands

Recalls Thrilling Events.
The execution by ORDER or President
Zelaya Of Nicaragua, of the two
Americans, Leonard Grace and Leroy
cannon, with the resulting interna-
tional complications, recalls the thrill
ing events of ten years ago in the
war with Cuba when the Spanish gov
eminent executed summarily General
Ryan and a number of Americans who
were captured and charged with being
filibusters.
AT that time American feeling was
wrought to a high pitch of excitement
and a number Of American vessels were
ordered TO Cuban waters and an inn
mediate outbreak Of war between the
United States and Spain was averted
only through the prompt apology by
Spain for the action OF the Cuban
captain general and the payment OF
an indemnity to the. families of the
victims.

today to obtain positive confirmation OF
the news of the young mans death.
The young mans mother said today:

In letters from Honduras, Cannon
stated that he was in that republic in
August and September but left be-

method of preparing the seed bed

The cultivation of the land soon
after harvest tends TO conserve the
moisture already stored In the soil;
the farrowed land is In good condition
to catch and store the rain and the
later cultivation clears the land OF
weeds and leaves mellow soil mulch

The Marriage Vow
WIFE AS HOME FINANCIER
nv JAMES II. cANFlELD, A. NJ, IL. D.
(Ex-President Chic State University

The relations of husband and wife
are marked by certain business char
acteristics as well as by sentiment
and emotion. Precisely as the church
has q business side to II, secular
side, which should be very carefully
distinguished from its religious side
so there are or ought to be these def
ute business relations between two
married people.
This is not the place in which to
discuss the pros and cons of a wom-
ans ability to fulfill her part In the
marriage contract. 1t will be sufficient
to say that 30 years experience and
observation satisfy the writer that
women are or under proper conditions
become just as careful and just as ac-
curate and just as wise In matters OF
expenditure as men are.
There may come time when both
may be able to command the services
of expert assistants who will relieve
them of the personal care OF details
and give them leisure for recreation
or more congenial undertakings; but
until that time comes each must be
faithful to his or her trust
The best plan advanced for deter.
mining these relations is for each par
ty to make plain. systematic bust
ness statement of his or her entire
concerns. at the close of each month.
Certain expenditures. easily deter
mined, should be charged to family ex-
pense. This charge will cover rent.
taxes fuel, lights, water, service. food,
household equipment, fire and life and
accident insurance, clothing, ETC.. for
children as long as these are a charge
upon the family. amounts paid for
books and magazines and the daily
press, and recreation and travelling ex-
penses In which both participate.
These matters being cared for, that
which remains of receipts or profits
ought to be Systematically and regu-
larly divided between the two. In the
case of a man with a salary, this di-
vision may very properly be half to
each
In the case of business man, this
division may perhaps be two-thirds to
the husband and one-third to the wife
since there are some necessary per
sonal expenses which man must
meet In connection with his business
1t will be better, however, to charge

A new method OF preparing the

corn lister as soon after harvest as
possible. The lister burrows are run
