MEXICAN CONDITIONS
FORCE INTERVENTION
In Occupation, the National Guard
n Will be Ordered Out.

Washington, D. c., April 25.--In
the wave OF horror at the sinking OF
the Titanic. conditions in Mexico
have been largely lost sight of. 1t
cannot be doubted that. to speak
conservatively, the reports Of Mex
lean conditions coming to Washing
ton are such that they are driving
this government rapidly to interven-
tion. Army men say that the mi
litia will unquestionably be needed
il this country sends force to Mex
leo. This means that the national
guard will be called out and that
Iowa guardsmen, along with others.
will get chance to see real SER
vice. Instead OF being overdrawn,
the news dispatches as to the stu
alton in Mexico are underdrawn.
This Is the most reliable information
at hand. drawn from persons return
ing from there and from various
sources The whole situation Is
y in that the country may wake up
by morning and find that the or
der has gone forth for the army to
enter Mexico. And as there are not
enough regulars to handle things,
any such order will mean the guard
must go, too.

BODY OF BABE IS
FOUND IN A BOX
Boys Make Grewsome Find on Greek
,-s
Bank.

Z . d q y
larshalltown, April 25.--While
playing late yesterday along the bed
ksLinn creek, two small boys found
u box, which. upon investigating by
opening, found the dead body of
girl babe. The body was pretty
we'll preserved, and not badly de-
composed. The find was reported
to the police, who are now investi-
eating.
Coroner F. Fl. Boucher, who took
charge of the body, can find no
marks of violence, and does not be-
lieye that the babe ever lived. From
all appearances it had been placed
ip- the soft earth of the creek bank
t.Jout two weeks ago. There is moth
ing in the wrappings to give any in
dication as to where the body may
have come from. The babes body
was encased in two towels and a
newspaper and then placed in an
oleomargarine box. The internal
revenue label on this box bears the
date of Jan. 20, 1912.

No city whose population is

find it profitable to carry ac-
counts with several banks
who are not reserve banks
but which are strong and
ably managed institutions.
