Have Wrong Idea.

But exactly the contrary is the
case. The army, both officers and
men, never was of higher tone than to-
day nor as high, in my opinion. No
sane man possibly can think that
nation situated as is the United States
with respect to the world could go
without an army. All stable govern
ment rests upon the possibility of
using force to secure obedience to its
DEGREES. And so it must be with
nations until another day has dawned
and many of the attributes of men
which now guide their conduct have
been changed for other and different

MAKES PLEA FOR
PRIDE IN ARMY
Secretary Garrison DepIores
General Attitude of Public.
FUNCTION misunderstood
People Fail To Discriminate Between
Hatred OF BIoodshed and War,
and Position OF Army In
Respect Thereto.

New York.-Secretary of War Gar
rison declared at dinner given in his
honor at the Lotos Club that the peo-
pie of the United States as a whole
did not regard the army in the proper
attitude and did not feel toward it as
they should. The secretary made his
statement during the course of an en-
thusiastic discussion of the effective
ness of the army, even in time of
peace.
For one thing" said he, al think
the people fail TO discriminate be
tween their absolute hatred of blood
shed and war and the function of the
army in respect thereto For the fire
man, the physician, the engineer and
for the clergyman, none of us has
words other than of praise and en-
cOuragement. And yet for the soldier
whose very presence is a protection
against others attempting to use force
and whose efforts in our behalf, when
force IS used against us, are essential
to our defense, the people have either
a negligent attitude or very often one
of disapproval. | cannot on any rea-
sonable ground account for this.
IF it were true that the officers and
men of the army were staggering
DULLES seeking to engage in war for
wars sake, or undesirable citizens
who brought disgrace upon the uni
form and the country there would be
reason for this public attitude.

Escapes From Penitentiary.

John Fisher, a notorious yegg
serving fifteen years for safe
blowing, escaped from the peni-
tentiary Saturday night by saw
ing the bars to his cell. He
climbed over the wall near the
old hosiery mill, let himself
down by rope and vanished.
Penitentiary officials sent out
descriptions in every direction
and have offered a reward of
$50 for his capture.
When the prisoners were lined
up for the rolfcall Sunday after
noon Fisher was absent. An
investigation disclosed the broken
bars to his cell where he had cut
his way to freedom. A search
of the grounds and buildings
was made and dangling over the
wall behind the old hosiery mill
was found rope, showing how
he had gotten to freedom.
He had climbed over the hosiery
mill on the top of the eighteen
foot walls which encloses the
penitentiary grounds and let
himself down on the banks of
the Congaree river and van
ished.
John Fisher was sent Up from
Lancaster County, in 1905, for
safecracking for 10 years. He
is wanted by the United States
Government for postoffice rob-
berries and is said to have been a
member of the gang which
cracked postoffice safes in all
parts of the South until rounded
up by Postoffice Inspector Greg
Ory.

The Mexican Situation.

Huerta has declinedito accede
to the demands of the United
States, although he has been
greatly impressed with the
European backing that this
country has, and he endeavored
to have his new congress meet.
but as yet without complete sue
cess. He has however succeeded
in eXpelling from his cabinet the
minister OF the interior, the last
one OF the original Huerta-Diaz
cabinet, for this man, Adalpe,
wished to see some concessions
made to the United States.
Huerta Sunday night told the
American representative in Mex
leo City, Mr.. O'Shaunessy, that
he most assuredly would not re-
sign. President Wilson and Mr..
Bryan held long conference
over this Sunday. In Mexico a
great deal of pressure is being
brought to bear on Huerta.
In the meantime, the city of
Juarez, opposite the Texas city
of Ell Paso, has fallen again.
Huerta is not dismayed by the
fall of JuareZ and says that he
will organize his congress Tues
day and that his part in the
negotiations is over. In Mexico
City it is believed that if Huerta
does not resign at once a sever
ance with the United States at
once is inevitable.

Save the Birds.

The bird season is now open in
most States and the hunter is
out with his gun and dog. Ev-
cry farmer should post signs,
not allowing hunting on his land.
1t is estimated that every quail
on the farm is worth $50 year,
to kill insects and eat noXious
grass seed. Think what that
means! Every time a quail is
killed you lose $50. 1t is pretty
expensive sport. If we will keep
a good supply of birds on the
farm it will cut the cost of poison
for insects. = Exchange.
