Americans in Danger.

The danger to American lives and prop
erty in Mexico is being constantly in
creased by the circulation of stories to
the effect that the United States is con-
sideriug Intervention in Mexico. Com
plants are coming into the State Depart
ment from the American diplomatic and
consular representatives in various parts
of the republic, pointing with no little
emphasis to the constant menace to
Americans resident in Mexico through the
printing of such matter.
At the State Department il was an
nounced that there was absolutely no
truth in the Intervention stories and it
was declared that this government had
no interest in the internal affairs of
Mexico. and only wished to prevail upon
the Mexican government to give protec-
ton to American lives and property.
The constant printing of such interven-
ton stories may serve to create an anti
American sentiment. ii is pointed out

Plans of War College.

Plans are kept in readiness by the War
of revision for notifications Of both the
regular army and the militia. 1t would
be only q. question Of a few hours for the
general staff to dispatch kilograms which
are kept constantly prepared calling out
all or any part Of the organized militia
which might be needed in enforcing the
neutrality laws along the Mexican border
or for protecting the country.
1t was stated today, however, that the
organized militia was not included in the
recent orders to the regular commands
throughout the country to prepare them
selves for a possible trip to the interna-
tional dividing line. Nor was any at
tempt made by the general staff to ascer-
tain with what promptness the citizen
soldiery of the United States could con-
centrate, pack their equipment and be
ready to entran.
Although the Dick law gives the Presi-
dent power to call forth the whole or par
of the organized militia when the United
States is invaded or in danger of in
ploying the militia as a part of invading
force against a foreign nation. In the
event of an invasion or possible invasion
or inability of the President to enforce
the laws of the Union with the forces at
lis command he may. under the law. call
forth such part OF the organized militia as
is needed to repel an invasion. suppress "a

States he may specify in his call the

NATURE TAKES CARE OF ALL
Provides Many Natural compasses to
Keep the Traveller Straight
on His Course.

Those we'll versed in woodcraft
point out that even in the "trackless
forests" nature provides many natural
compasses to keep the traveller
straight in his course.
For instance, there is the mature
tree that stands apart from its fell
lows. The bark on this tree will be
harder, drier and lighter in color on
the south side. On the north 1t will
be darker and often at the roots 1t
will show a clump of mold or moss.
On the south side of all evergreen
trees, gum which oozes from wounds
or knot holes will be hard and amber
colored. On the north side this gum
is softer, generally dustier, and is of
a soiled gray hue. In the autumn or
winter trees that show a rough bark
have nests of insects in the crevices
on the south side. Hardwood trees
the oak, the ash, elms, hickories,
mesquite, etc.-have moss and mold
on the north. Leaves are smaller,
tougher, lighter in color and with
darker veins on the south. In the
north they are longer, of darker green
and with lighter veins. Spiders build
on the south side. In the south, air
plants will attach themselves to the
north sides. Cedars bend their tips
to the south.
Sawed or cut stumps will afford one
the compass points, inasmuch as the
concentric rings are thicker on the
south side. The heart of the stump is
thus nearer to the north side. These
results are said to be due to the in
fluenec of the sun. Stones are bare
on the south side, and If they show
onv moss at all 1t will be on the
north. At best, on the sunny side
only thin covering of harsh, half
drv moss will be found. The ground
is noisieY under foot on the south side
of a hill. On the north side ferns,
MOSES and late flowers grow. When
one ia in a marsh small bushes will af-
ford the lesson. Then leaves and
limbs show the same differences. Al
most all wild flowers turn their face'
to the south.
