Representative Anthony wires that

All information from Kansas indicates
that the Taft people are fighting hard
and showing great gains in that state,
which has been supposed to be absolutely

Representative Anthony is conservative

first that he has made. He is on the

AWAITING THE ORDERS
TO PATROL THE BORDER
War Department to Enforce
Neutrality This Side the
Mexican Line.

AT the War Department today the Of
ficials. were awaiting official copies of the
amendment to the neutrality laws enact
ed yesterday and the Presidents proc
lamation prOmulgating the same. AL
though no orders have gone out to troop
organizations to proceed to the Mexican
border line for patrol duty. it is probable
that some regiments will be ordered there
mitted at the general staff bureau that
stronger patrol is needed along the line
to effectively enforce the new law against
the shipment of arms and ammunition.
AS orders went out to the various troop
organizations over the country some time
ago when the present trouble assumed
serious proportions to prepare for duty
on the border. it will be matter of
only short time for the troops to get
their baggage on the trains.
Ready for Immediate Action.
The 4th Infantry, divided between Fort
Crook. Neb., and Fort Logan H. Roots.
Ark, has had its equipage packed for
some time. and probably will be the
first organization to depart for posts
nearer the border line.
AS the cavalry organizations would fur

now on the high seas en- route home from

Value Of Fairgrounds.

The value of Fairgrounds in establishing
this condition of fine minds in fine modes
was dilated upon by DR.. Extraordinarily
He urged the playground educators to
take statistics of children, comparison of
development. under playground exercise,
using them as the best argument for the
perpetuation of Fairgrounds and the en-
largement of their facilities.
The exhibit is to be made by the con-
gress in the building put up by the Red
Cross in Potomac Park, and Dr. Scherew-
schrewsky proposed that playground be
put up on the adjoining land by the
Washington Playground Association. The
exhibit will be open from September il
to October 3

NOTE CHANGES IN CLIMATE
Varying Oceanic Circulation the Cause
Of Marked Differences Through
the Centuries.

A very material change In the eli.
mate OF northern Europe since the
middle ages has been demonstrated
to the Royal Meteorological society BY
Prof Otto Petersen. Seasons of
great extremes reached a eliminating
point in the thirteenth and fourteenth
centuries. when the summers alter.
mated between great heat and drought
and great cold and excessive rain. and
when violent winter storms entirely
remolded the coasts OF the North sea,
the frosts being sometimes so severe
that even the arm OF the sea between
Denmark and Scandinavia was frozen.
Varying oceanic circulation, due to
sun and moon, is suggested as a pos.
sible explanation. Four years OF In.
vestigation at Bornoe. Sweden, has
shown that the inflow of the undercur.
rent from the North sea into the
Kattegat-w which brings herring shoals
in winter to the Swedish coasts os.
cillatory. the bounding surface Of the
deep current rising and subsiding
from fifty to eighty feet twice a
month. This flow is governed by the
moons declination and nearness to
the earth. Astronomical data prove
that the influence of the sun and moon
on the waters OF northern Europe
near the time of the solstice must
have reached a maximum COO 10 700
years ago, and consequently there
must have been move active circu-
lation. Evidence of the greater cir
culation is the fact that the herring
migrations formerly extended into the
Baltic. hut now they reach only TO the
Kattesat. TIE deep current must
have risen higher. the surface LAYER
must have been thinner. and. as
thin layer is more readily heated and
cooled. tbs temperature controlling in.
tlueuces 81 the ocean must have been
different.

She saw a strange. uncanny sight.
The wreath had caught in Jaspar's

hair was a wig and in the beating
