Put Under Bonds to Keep the Peace

make good the losses sustained by
Americans making unwise invest
ments in Mexico.
subjects who have staked money upon
the stability of the Mexican republic,
the justice and solidity of the Mexican
government, and the general sanity
and regard for business obligations Of
the Mexican nation, will exert more
or less pressure upon Mexico If that
country should ever default as a ma
ton or encourage its citizens to re-
fuse to pay their just debts. In the
aggregate these forces brought to
bear upon Mexico can be trusted to
have deep and wide influence there.
Such International business bonds
of peace are constantly becoming more
important in many parts of the world.
Every year the financial and CONNER
cial ties which knit the nations to-
gether increase in strength. Always
the tendency of the times is toward
the creation of closer international re-
lations and a surer sense of common
interest in the preservation Of peace.
This is one of the widest and strong
est forces in the development of mod
ern civilization. 1t is one of the great
agencies for good which shape the
progress of the age. Business has
many bills charged to its account, but
there is no denying the vital and bene-
ficent influence which it exerts upon
the international relations of the
times.
1t brings knowledge with the growth
of selfish interests in the reign of law
and order throughout the earth. Men
widen their outlook upon the world
when they multiply their investments
in distant lands. With knowledge
comes good will, and good will aids
the highest type of international
progress.

DISASTROUS QUAKE
ITALIAN PROVINCE SUFFERS
HEAVILY FROM CATAS-
TROPHE OF NATURE.
TWO PROVINCES HIT SEVERELY
Old vesuvius Has An Outburst in
Connection With
Unusually Hard
Rains.

Naples, Italy. = Floods and an
earthquake, due to volcanic action,
claimed over 20 lives at Ischia and in
the provinces of Salerno and Naples.
Thirty feet of mud covers many of
the roads in the provinces of Naples
and Salerno. Soldiers have been start
ed at the work of rescue and relief
but their progress must necessarily be
slow because of the blocking of the
roads.
Here in Naples many houses col.
lapsed. This was due to subsistence of
the surface of the earth, due to the re-
cent volcanic eruptions and the inhabi-
tants of the city are in a state of
panic.
The disaster was due to the combina-
ton of torrential rains and cloudbursts
simultaneously with an outbreak of
Mount Vesuvius.
The coasts of the Island of Ischia,
sixteen miles southwest of Naples, in
the Mediterranean, were swept by a
mountainous tidal wave. The extent of
the damage from this source cannot be
learned because of the destruction of
the cable between Naples and the is
land. The project of Naples sent a
torpedo boat and large detachment of
troops to Ischia to undertake the work
the disaster reached the king, he di.
rected that three battleships and four
cruisers be hurried to the island from
the nearest ports. These warships car
ry emergency rations and shelter tents
as well as a liberal supply of medi
cines.
A telegram received from the mayor
of Casamicciola says that the city has
been very badly damaged and that
help is urgently needed. 1t is possible
that the loss of life there may be
heavy as there are rumors that the ex
tinct volcano Mount Epomeo is again
active. The town, which was destroyed
by the volcano of July, 1888, was re.
built by governmental aid and has been
much resorted to on account of its
baths and warm alkaline and saline
springs. The earthquake of 1888, 1,70O
lives were sacrificed An American
painter, Albert Hall of st. Paul, Mimi
who returned from there a few days
ago, said Today that only natives re-
NAMED in the city.
The slopes of Mount Vesuvius were
swept by cloudbursts and the thou
sands of tons of lava and ashes accum
ulated along the crests of the noun
tain since the last serious eruption
were swept down into the adjacent val
leys, leaving death and desolation in
their wake. rsz
Floods are reported at Cetera, Anal
fl, Salerno and other places. The
damage is estimated in the millions
although no possible estimate is pos
sible for several days and the later re
ports may materially reduce the fig
ures.
Captains of vessels that were an
chored in the Bay of Naples during
Sunday night say there must have been
submarine earthquake, inasmuch as
their craft heaved violently and in sew
eral instances dragged their anchor
chains 1t was about this time that
Vesuvius belched mud and stones. This
preceded the cloudbursts by less than
an hour.

partly 70 rthe sake of the cruise and
partly to advertise the navy and at
tract young men to it. Sixteen of the
battleships will turn their prows away
from the home land and steam off into
the Atlantic, bound on tour of the
European ports.
For months the publicity experts of
the navy department have been ex-
plotting the voyage for the purpose Of
getting young men to recruit. Not all
OF them will be chosen to go, but they
all have an equal chance and those
who do not go this time will go the
next time, for 1t Is the purpose to
have these cruises every year to make
the service more attractive to young
Americans and cause them to enlist
in such numbers as are required for
the proper manning Of the fighting
ships.
The ships that will go are the Con-
necticut, Michigan, Delaware, North
Dakota, Georgia, Nebraska, Rhode Is
land. Virginia, Louisiana, South Caro-
lima, Kansas, New Hampshire, Mime
sofa, Vermont, Mississippi and Idaho.
There will be a flotilla of destroyers,
the auxiliary cruiser Dixie, the gun
boat Yankton, the hospital ship So
lace and the supply ship Culgoa.
Many of the young men who will
take their first long voyage on the
cruise are on the fleet as a direct re-
suit Of up-to-date advertising of the
cruise by Uncle Sam. He is not
ashamed to advertise and does it well.

thousands of young Americans will
