.NAVARRO'S DEFENSE
MILITARY ROTTENESS
The Kind of Armament With Which
He Was Expected to Hold JIarez.

City of Mexico, June I4.-When Ma
varro is placed on trial before the milf
tary tribunal and asked to explain why
he surrendered Juarez, it is not lmprob
able that evidence may show a la
mentable weakness in DiaZ' military
machine In almost all the engage
mentS during the late revolution it is
notable that the casualties in the ranks
of the rebels were in small proportion
to the number of shots fired. Ordinari-
~ this was ascribed To poor marksman-
ship on the part of the federals. but
according to Manuel Urquidi. one of
the advisors Of Madero at Juarez, they
captured armament at that point that
goes far to explain the apparent weak
ness Of the federal defense.
Urquidi said that when an inventory
was taken of the armamnet used by
Navarro ii was found that five boxes
containing 10000 rounds Of ammuni-
ton showed that these cartridges CON
tanned such q small amount of powder
that the projectiles were carried not
more than twenty meters.
What appear to be boxes Of this
same consignment are in Chihuahua as
well as Juarez and the number Of cart
ridges are estimated at n half million.
The ammunition was manufactured at
the government cartridge factory
Among other armament captured at
JuareZ. according TO Urquidi. we're POO
smells Of eighty millimeters which were
absolutely useless insofar as Navarro
was concerned because the mortars
with which he was supplied were of
seventy millimeters calibre
II these statements are Substantiated
in the trial of Navarro. it is assumed
by military men that the hono- of the
general will be indicated. II may also
be assumed that none Will be punished
for an apparent conspiracy in stocking
the garrison at Juarez with useless
armament, since the party that bene-
fitted is now i'm power

Patriotism.
He who loves the flag loves his
country. and patriotism is nothing
more than the love Of country. devo-
ton to the land that bore us. i'm
pressed upon us as paramount to
every other consideration. in its
claims on head. hand and heart. II is
pictured To us not merely as an
amiable ard inspiring emotion, but
as a paramount duty which Sweeps
svery other out OF the way 1t has
been the cheerful sacrifice of the
things that make life worth living
the eager endurance Of things far
worse than death which show the
mighty power which love Of country
holds over the entire being Of man
We are told that patriotism is not
merely a generous and laudable emo
ton. bur a paramount ana overwhelm-
ing duty TO which everything else
must give way
Duty.
To the plain citizen who does not
claim to be a leader in peace or war.
the duty is. still clearer; he must
stand by his country according To
what those who have her destiny in
their control decide is her proper
course In war or in peace. he is To
have but one watchWord. In peace,
his patriotic dut, will chiefly be
shown by obeying existing laws.
wherever they may strike. but it is
not thought inconsistent with that
true loVe OF country To let ones opin-
ion be known about the good Of the
country in general in times Of peace.
In a free land like ours. every citizen
is expected 10 be ready with voice
and vote 10 do his part in correcting
what is amiss. in protesting against
bad laws. and so far as he may. de-
feating bad and unfit men whom ne
believes To- be seeking his country's
harm.
In Time Of Peace.
Who viii say that there is no work
for patriotism in days Of peace II
il need not b. So corFa geous as in
war. it needs To be more watchful
and enduring; for the evils against
which it contends in peace are more
perseVering. more Stealthy in the ad-
vance. more deusive i'm the attack
We can easily imagine that a country
invincible in war may go down to its
ruin amid the uNuries and somno-
lence of prolonged peace. History
tells US that the great Hannibal won
by the sword at Thrasymene. but he
lost the fruits Of the victory in the
the vineyards and orange groves Of
Campania. II has well been said that
eternal vigilance is the price Of lib
erty. Therefore. let us be vigilant
and active in all matters that con-
Germ the welfare Of our country. that
her republican institutions may en-
dure for time eternal and our liberties
and those of our children and of our
children's children may be vouchsafed.
and our flag may continue to spread
its protecting folds from every mast
head in this great country Of ours.

VETERAN OF CIVIL WAR
HELD UP AT ELLIS ISLAND
Deportation as an Alien Believed at
Department to Be Unlikely,
Though Possible. /

NEW YORK, July 17.-Although Hugh

the civil war and has lived in this coun-
try ever since, when he reached New
York yesterday on the steamer Gale
donia. on his way from his birthplace I'm
Ireland, where he had been visiting, To
his home in Indianapolis, he was sent TO
Ellis Island. He may be deported.
Sweeney, who is eighty-three years old.
told the authorities there that he failed
to take out naturalization papers be-
cause he believed that lighting for his
adopted country was sufficient proof of
his loyalty and citizenship The immi-
grafton authorities are investigating his
story.
1t was stated at the Department of
Commerce and Labor today that the case
of Hugh Sweeney had not yet been re-
ceived at the department, and it was
therefore. not known for what, IL any,
reasons Sweeney had been detained at
Ellis Island. except 1t might be to verify
his statements. The opinion was express
ed that his deportation was extremely
unlikely II he fought for the United

though there il no provision of law which
would exempt him for that reason.

tories in cities where there are a large
number of banks It is also provided

tories in cities where there are large
number Of banks. 1t is also provided
that the amount deposited in any one
bank shall at no time exceed the amount
of its paid-in capital and one-half the
surplus in the bank. This is an extra pre-
caution in the interest of safety, and
makes additional labor in getting things
in shape for the establishment OF de-
pository in big city. These provisions
therefore not only get the postal savings
into general circulation, but they get
them into circulation in the localities
where they are made. which means much
to the business interests OF the local COM
munity.
Another, fact that has disclosed to the
banking interests that the postal savings
repositories are not rivals to the regular
banks is that checking accounts cannot
be kent at them, which virtually exempts
from them the vast sums of commercial
deposits with which business Is conducted
and restricts their operations purely to
the original design OF their creation. TO
provide a safe and simple way or en-
abling the people to save their earnings,
at the same time giving them small In
terest on funds that are actually de-
posted for the purpose Of saving rather
than for investment.
Draws Cash From Hiding.
The government guarantee influences
hundreds to deposit their savings in
these repositories who would never in
trust them to the strongest bank In
Christendom and therefore 1t draws from
the hiding places and from the insecure
receptacles in which money Is kept in
the homes thousands Of dollars that are
virtually drawn entirely from general
circulation to the loss Of the business
world.
Washington has its percentage Of peo-
pie of this char acter. because the de-
partment has virtually been besieged
with them ever since the new system was
put in operation. 1t also has its pro-
portion Of those who buy money orders
payable to themselves and then carry
them around In their pockets where they
are as good as ready cash and not as
perishable as money if they are lost or
stolen, because duplicates can be OBJ
tanned and no order will be paid except
to the payee upon proper 1dentfncation'
thus making them Of no value to those
tempted to steal them. Washington also
has its proportion of the foreign element
disposed to mistrust the banks, which
sends its money abroad. 1t Is not as
large as in other cities and as q rule 1t
is much more intelligent. but 1t has more
or less of the same distrust. which yields
only to the government guarantee or
safety.
