secretary Daniels or the navy de- partment who Is a very good news paper man and very poor sailor man says that the introduction of 1 aeroplnncs into modern armamcnts , will eventually put the battleships out
 of business. The secretary of the navy did not figure this bit of self evident and logical fact all out for himself. but like the rest of the in- formation that hc has about the navy it was told to him by men who have made naval warfare life's study.
 However n matters little where the head of the navy got the informatio about aircraft. It is perfectly true and the rapid development of this modern instrument of war will undoubtedly make great change In the status of battieships as units of ef'iciency in deciding wars.
 The aeroplane Is rapidly becoming q very material factor in war. It has passed the stage of experiment and theory and no nation which counts itself world power can afford t3 neglect this important branch of milf tary science.
 In England and Germany and Frencc much more attention has been given to acronauIics and the construction of ships that will fight from the clouds than in the United States. This ts not because our military experts dJ rot see the great importance of this new factor in war. They have seen 1t for long time and have striven by reports and requests to get congress to seriously take the matter up so that we may advance with the other nations of the earth.
 There Is one very remarkable thinG about those who govern in this coun- try of ours. They cannot be made to see. have never been made to sec. that a certain amount of experiment and preparation Is necessary durnE peace times in order that when war comes we may take the field fully prepared.
 X bitter lesson was taught at the time of the Spanish war by our lack of field equipment and hospital scr vice. That was q very little war md yet more men were lost in the campo of the United States because of iin- proper care than were killed in bat. tie. This was duo absolutely to lac's of preparedness and inefiiciency in the stan departments.
 Only two years ago. when a divIs- ion was mobolized in Texas the same thing occurred. There was no loss of life. there were no wounded and tho troops stayed in permanent camp. Dnt had that division been obliged at that time to move across the border it would have gone without half Of the necessary field equipment.
 Officers of the army knew this. Had known for years that even brigade of troops could not be properly put In the field. They had made reports to tho proper sources and congress Mad becn informed of the lack md appealed to for aid. hut there wasn't my war and congress was not Inter- cstcd In the army.
 There may be serious movement of the troops at any time now. Reg ulars and volunteers. The regulars will got along somehow because they are regulars. Hut 1t is among the un. trained and heipless militia and vol- untecrs that the havoc will bs wrought hy the lack of prsp&rednsss h the

 elan Cancels Passage

Once Extra Brakeman in Douglas Is Now General
 Superintendent Sunset

From Brakeman on the extra uoard. making barely enough to ex ist upon. to general superintendent of one of the most important lines In the world in six years-this is the story of the meteoric attainment of Harry w, Sheridan. Visual proof oi the truth of the story was given last Saturday when Mr. Sheridan passed through Douglas in his private ear, the Sierra Nevada en route to Nex Orleans. He was then on his way 10 take charge or the important post ot general superintendent of the sun. set lines, with headquarters in the Crescent City.
 Six years ago Sheridan came to Douglas and obtained employment in the local yards as switchman. He engaged in this work for a time and during that period showed remark able grasp of railroading and what it stood for. it Is stated by those who knew him at the time. He had some trouble with one Of the officials oi the line, it is said. resulting in losing his place in the yards. ater he oD- tained employment for a short time as an extra dispatcher Finally ne GtNAarA AN Eo t0 tue AbdSia tAt tb- tained employment on the Southern Pacific lines in the coast state
 His history reads like some of the best selling ficuons Of the day. He began to rise shortly after coming into the employ of the s. P. Finally he reached the position of division superintendent of the $.

The natives inhabi:ing the country near the source of the Niger believe that devil lives in the rock whence the river springs. They are very super stitious and greatly fear this devil, who is supposed to kill any person who dares to look at the source Whenever the natives are showing a stranger the spot. they cover up their faces and walk backward in the direc- ton of the spring, pointing toward it with outstretched hand behind the back.

IRON PLATE REMOVED

daring break from jail was made early yesterday morning when a man believed 10 be named Ryan. who was docketed under the name of John Doe. made his escape from the county jail. The police are of the belief that he had an accomplice on the outside
 Ryan was arrested Thursday night, charged with attempted robbery. It is said that he tried to rob :- room in the Philadelphia hotel but was sur prised and was later arrested. He was taken 10 the jail shortly before midnight. According 10 a woman in the jail Ryan. early yesterday morn ing. told her that he would be out of jail in a few minutes" True to his boast he had made his escape twenty minutes later
 Ryan was placed in a room in the jail and made his escape by remOy- ing large iron plate, which gave him access to another room The door of this room was unlocked, but le1 into another room. The wall Of this last room had been bored through and a hole made in it large enough for a man to wrigrle through pile of brick, evidently taken from the wall, was found on the outside of the wall by the officers and this led to the belief that an accomplice made the hole in the wall How the iron plate YVES removed however. is not known.
 When Ryan was first arrested it was thought that he was just an or dinary vagrant. but later develop ments have led to the belief that he is the man who is wanted on a ser iOus charge in California.

 THEIR COUNTRY
Thirty Thousand Weary Of Revolution Trouble and Leave Home Country
 for United States
MINING MAN CLEANED

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 3.-Thirty thou sand Mexicans left their country tor homes in the United States last year.
 This intelligence has disturbed the local press. a part of which, assuming that the emigrants are attracted Dy the higher wages paid on the railroads in the cotton fields and at industrial centefs of the north, are sounding a warning against what they describe as false promises" intended to lure the Mexican laborer across the line, to his disadvantage.
 Other papers explain the exodus on the ground that continued revolutions have robbed the toiler of an opportun- ity to follow his usual vocation and left to him no occupation except that or fighting his cOuntrymen. He .s pretty tired of the war trade, partic ularly as it must be pursued at the risk of his own life.
 Quite a different view of the situa- ton is taken by some observers, who hold that an even greater desertion of working men might prove a bless ing in disguise, for the effect on the public mind would be an economic m fluence in restoring tranquility in the state

Bisbee daily review., 1913-01-04

A story is told of a we'll known American mining man in Mexico whose foresight probably will save him considerable money.
 During the Madero revolution his property was visited frequently by the rebels. who forced him to contribute lsvishly to the rebellion. For moneys. horses. provisions and other things taken he was given the provisional receipts through the evidence of which he was to be reimbursed when the revolution triumphed.
 Soon after the close Of the first revolution the mining man deposited in the office of the minister of finance the receipts. which called for some S25 900 He was assured that in due time he would receive his money.
 IL was not forthcoming. however and several months later he called again, whereupon he was told that un- fortunately the receipts which he had presented had been lost and the de- partment had no evidence that any thing was due him. It was added that if the receipts were found a full set tlement would be made
 But the claimant had provided for just this contingency. and the next day he appeared al the office of the minister and deposited a new and complete set of receipts. At the same time he informed the official that If the second lot were lost he could re- place them as he had taken the pre- caution to make fifty photographs of each origipsl receipt.
