In the south the Zapatistas and Sal
gadistas and various other groups are
more formidable than they were when
Madero went into office almost year
ago Instead of suppressing the rebel
lion, the government has permitted it to
expand. Instead of life and property of
non-combatants being made more safe,
they have been made more precarious,
and slowly the rebels appear to be losing
that respect they once had for foreigners
and their property.
AL army much larger than that now

crowded the recruiting offices and COM
pan:es of volunteers have in u few
cases been made UP Of prisoners, some of
whom chose military service as a subst!-
tute for prison life and some of whom
were deliberately forced into the army.
Life in the army, even to crush rebel
lion, has not appealed to, the average
Mexican whose attitude toward the diff
ficulties of the administration is wholly

ing made to secure another. The ma
tons income has been materially re-
duced. 1mportations have fallen off to a
marked degree and ordinary business
throughout the republic is at low ebb.
Pride and love of country force almost
all Mexicans to resent the suggestion of
intervention, but hundreds can be found
who privately will admit that there is
small chance for this government to put
an end to the rebellion A large part of
these probably would fight should for

PARIS, September 14.-Public opinion
alarmed by the rapid growth of anti
patriotic spirit in the ranks Of the pub
lie school teachers, and the action of
the government in ordering the sup
preston of the Teachers Union after
the very improper resolutions passed
at the recent Congress Of the National
Federation OF Teachers Unions has
met with general approval.
1t has long been clear that the
Teachers Unions which in many de-
partments have taken the place Of the
old friendly societies and are frankly
political in their intention, have come
under the control Of the extreme sec
congress forty-nine unions were repre-
scented, an increase of twenty-one
since last year
Attempts are made by the more mod
crate section of the teacher to sug-
gest that the resolutions passed do not
express the opinion of the great ma
jority OF the profession, bat the fact
remains that they We're passed unani-
mOusly. and il the belief expressed In
1905, by NJ. Rouvier then prime min
lister, was correct-namely, that 40 per
cent of the teachers We're at that time
contaminated with Syndicalism-it

growth of the movement the evil today
is so widely spread IS amply to justify

Beating the Railroads.
From Leslie's Weekly.


The statement is made that the rail-
roads suffer enormous losses In revenue
because shippers purposely nlisstate tie
character OF their shipments and some
times their weight. All freight Is roughly
divided into class and COMMODITY"
Certain articles pay a lower freight rate
than others. Shippers are accused OF pack
ing goods that should pay higher freight
rate in such q way that they can go for
the low rate because ii is impossible for
the railroads to examine or weigh every
package they carry. These statements
are made on the high authority of Prof.
Edward Sherwood Meade I'm an article i'm
the Railway World. 1t is estimated
that the railroads suffer the enormous
loss of S43.O00G9o a year by these prac-
tees. Notwithstanding every effort they
make through their inspection bureaus
TO prevent fraud. 1t is obvious that ship
pers who resort to such practices are
evading the interstate commerce law. We;

violations, yielding S1,425 in fines. while

Anti-Militarist in Sentiment.

The resolution of the congress which
has especially brought down upon it the
condemnation of the government was one
expressing the adherence of the fedora
ton to an anti-m .litar:st organization
known as the Sou du So.dat''-the Sol
dier's Cent" This organization was orisi
nally started by the Masons' Union of
Paris. and seeks. with the proceeds Of a
collection Of one cent a month among it's
members. to spread anti-militarism in the
army. Its object. In fact, is to promote
in the army the propaganda of the Cen
eral Labor Federation.
Last year NJ. Messimy, then minister OF
war, endeavored by prosecuting all SOL
diers known to belong to the organization
to put stop to the evil. 1t is. there

Cameo of France on Exhibition.

The great cameo Of France. the frame
and pedestal Of which, lost for a century,
have just been recovered owing to the eX-
ertions of N. Babelon. keeper of the
medal room at the National Library, has
been placed on exhibition again.
This work of art is marvelously cary
ed agate representing the gloritication of
Germanicus. 1t belonged originally to
the imperial treasury of the Caesars at
Rome. then to that of the byzantine en-
perors. Baldwin II, Emperor of Con-
stantinople sold it to ST. Louis, King of
France. who placed it in the Sainte Cha
pelle. The grand cameo, ChristianiZed,
was then known as the triumph of Jo-
seph at the court of Pharaoh. After
having belonged to the Popes at Avignon
the great cameo came back to the Sainte
Chapelle under the reign of Charles V.
During the revolution the cameo, which
the national assembly had placed in the
medal room, was stolen. 1t was about to
be sold at Amsterdam for the sum of
SG0,GD when the police of Napoleon got
track Of it. The frame. however no
longer existed: the thieves had melted
it down. Napoleon had the present one
made in place of II by the jeweler Della

supported by two lions, has just been
found. permitting the masterpiece to be

The socialists are rejoicing, telling each
other that the conquest of the air must
prevent the conquest of one nation by
another. Yet the maneuvers were never
on grander scale than this autumn.
While the diplomats are crying Peace,
peace"' while the chancellors are assur-
ing each other of their undying esteem
and friendship. the purpose OF the ma
neuvers was perfectly frank and open.
Germany assembled 12O,O00 soldiers. un-
der the emperor's eye. The problem
worked out was how to resist an attack
coming from the Russian frontier until
the main German army. having thrashed
the French on Frances frontier, could
be transported eastward.
German strategy reckons upon the slow
ness of Russian mobilization. as compared
with the German. to give Germany q free
hand for three weeks before the Russians,
Frances ally, can really threaten from
the east. 1t is said that the defending
army was defeated at the maneuvers.
Perhaps that statement is not as frank
as their purpose.

Aeroplanes Prove Utility.

But over the vast army. as it passed
the kaiser. f1oated twenty aeroplanes and
two war balloons. Had they dropped eX-
plosives the magnificent array would have
been dissipated; the best trained soldiers
in the world would have been impotent;
the vast field, trembling under charging
hoofs and tramping feet. would have
been Uttered with dead and dying.
France. too, called out 10000 troops for
her grand maneuvers. There the problem
was the opposite Of that in Germany. The
French sought to hold out against a Ger
man army superior in numbers until
British expeditionary force should arrive.
Dispatches say the resisting army won.
In England the maneuvers were never
ON a greater scale; 10000 infantry were
on the field; 1872 field guns, 135 machine
guns. 1t was perfectly plain that the
practice was directed against this 'buga-
boo" Germany; against the arrival of
German invading force.
King George watched the mock battle
which ended so afosurdly. The battle was
fought in that part of England nearest
the German coast, where invaders would
land to make dash for London. The
two armies campaigned over Norfolk and
Suffolk and the military av.ators made
futile all the plans of their commanders.
