Country Is Getting Hungry,
With No Relief From Con-
dition in Sight.
THOUSANDS OF ACRES
ARE WITHOUT CROPS
Money Is Lacking, as Work Has
Been Cut OF Along Many In
dustrial Lines.

MEXICO CITY. July 23.-Mexico is get
ting hungry. and early in July it was
evident that this condition would become
much worse before relief could be had.
Failure to plant crops in thousands of
fields formerly cultivated. the increasing
number Of idle men due to the closing
down Of numerous industrial concerns.
and the indirect siege instituted against
scores of cities have resulted In reducing
to a deplorable condition regions where
a great majority Of the population asked
only to be permitted to work.
Lack Of money resulting from lack OF
work has had its effect In increasing the
prices. but the most direct cause has
been the cutting OF the railroads in all
parts OF the country.
The fall OF Durango revealed that the
people Of that town had been paying
fabulous sums for certain ordinary COM
modities and that meat was an unob-
tainable luxury. Torreon for time was
from Chihuahua were that one egg was
bringing a peso and that eight pesos
were paid for a kilo, or two and two
fifth pounds of sugar. Conditions In
Salt1llo and Monterey became serious.
notwithstanding that the government
was able most of the time to keep open
the line from Tampico. In all towns the
neighbOrhoring country is depended upon
to supply a large part OF the food stuffs,
but even where railroads were kept open
marauding bands of rebels made 1t their
business to prevent the entry OF supplies
from the neighboring truck farms, brought
in on the backs OF Indians or in carts.
The effect Of these tactics has been keen
ly felt in the capital itself, where prices
have more than doubled In the past year.

Country Must Buy Abroad

Failure to plant crops has not yet had
its full direct effect. The season for the
maturing Of most crops has not come but
when 1t does 1t Is inevitable that the
country will find itself forced to buy
abroad, and money is scarce. In previous
revolutions the planting has not been so
seriously hindered. but since this IL the
most widespread revolt the country has
seen there are hundreds of thousands Of
implanted acres.
Those who are attempting to keep in
touch with revolutionary activities by
marking a map realized early in July
that the most simple means was not to
block in with black those regions held by
the rebels. but TO block in the portions,
where the governments control was I'M
questioned. It was much more simple
and required much less time.
Keen expectations Of success were Gre
ated by the determined efforts to reopen
the railroad from the capital to Laredo,
but In spite OF some success attained the
rebel movement continued to grow and
the government was forced to concede
the seriousness Of the situation in the
extreme south in the states of Campeche
and Tabasco. as well as in the north.
while the rebels operating in Vera Cruz
along the coast line between Vera Cruz
and Tampico forced the attention Of the
war department.
From time to time marked progress in
the campaign against the Zapatistas was
announced, and undoubtedly thousands
were brought from that district and sent
into the army, exiled to Quintanoo Roo
or shot. But the Zapatistas continued ac-
tive, carrying the warfare characterized
by fire and loot into neighboring states
and even into the federal district. That
bands were operating in rifesht of
Tlalpan or San Angel ceased to excite in
terest on San Francisco street.
AS an example Of the nervousness felt
in official centers was the fact that SOL
diers were detailed to ride on the subur-
ian cars early in July.

that he knew all the mysteries of the
Book of Revelations, but there were
something's any thoughtful person
can know regarding this marvellous
portion of the Scriptures.
The first three chapters, said he, fix
the seal upon the marvellous triumph
of those churches, because of the
judgment of God upon men who inter-
fere with the progress of His king
dom.
The closing chapters of this great
Wonder book, reveal the marvellous
wonders of the glory land.
Referring to the declaration of his
text that Nevertheless, have some
what against thee because thou hast
left thy first love- he said: "Whre
love is wanting there is no conscious
ness of sin. That men in this age have
been preaching such a namby pamby
gospel, that men do not look on sin,
with the horror they once did. When
a man says he has a passion for souls
he is looked upon as fanatic.
Where love is wanting there can be no
master passion for souls. Where love
is, joy fills the heart and life. God
does not promise freedom from sor-
row suffering heartaches, but He does
promise that His grace is sufficient
for these things. Where love is lack
ing there is no real sacrifcial service.
Where love is lacking there can be
no power for personal witness, love
discerns and sees where nothing else
can discern and see If the fame of
love burns brightly in the heart you
will witness for Christ"
The plan of the campaign contem-
plates preaching in three churches
named every night for the next two
weeks, with a union service at the
First Church every morning during
the week days.
The work among the negro popula-
ton will be by Rev. j. w. Bailey, a
preacher of that race in the employ
of the Southern Baptist Association.
DR.. Bruner will supervise this work
also.
At the services at Fifth Avenue
Baptist church last night, Rev. A. J.
gopass, of Los Angeles, California,
who is in charge of the evangelistic
at that church, was listened
to with close attention by a large
audience.
At this first night service of the
campaign in this church two people
united with the church.

vantage of being we'll produced, both
as to story and the action of the vari-

South the stern old father objects to
her love and intention of marriage
with the young Northerner. Love,
however, overrides his verdict and the
young couple are united. In the fury
of his outraged feelings, the father
drives the girl from his house; then
the war breaks out. Then we see the
young husband as a Northern officer
