SIOeuGHTS ON MEXICO

This is the story Of Martinez,
so-called king Of the sniper," one
of the underhand fighters who
picked off good American sailors
and marines for two days after
Vera Cruz had been seized.
Martinez was a Mexican who had
fled from his cotton plantations in
Torreon and had gone to Vera Cruz
with his American wife. All
through the winter they we're fire.
quently guests aboard United
States warships in the harbor.
His house was on the same street
as the United States consulate,
where fighting was hot the first
day.
On the second day, when the
Americans advanced through the
entire town and held it, sniping
continued in many sections espec-
tally in the block in which Marti-
nez's house was situated.
Owing to the fact that the snip
ers used smokeless powder and kept
the nselves well hidden it was next
to impossible to discover them.
During the afternoon of Wednes-
day Martinez came along the block,
where a party of marines had been
stationed in an effort to locate the
snipers. He was warned by Colonel
Neville of the marine corps nat to
go into his house as it was strong
ly suspected that snipers were
there.
Martinez protested his regret at
such a suspicion, asserting his
strong admiration and friendship
for the Americans, and said he was
sure no n could be using his
house for such q purpose. He was
finally allowed to enter his house.
Subsequently it was noted that
every time Colonel Neville exposed
himself in the street a shot would
come from nearby. 1t was obvious
someone was trying to get" the
marine officer.
Colonel Neville finally mounted
the balcony of the American con-
sulate and hogan watching the roofs
and win lows Of the house up the
street through a pair of field
glasses.
He saw Mr.. Martinez sitting on
his balcony with a newspaper
spread out on his lap and smoking
a cigarette, apparently watching
the proceedings.
AS he watched him the colonel
saw to his amazement Martinez
quickly draw an automatic pistol
from under the newspaper in his
lap and fire a shot, restoring the
weapon to its hiding place under
the newspaper with lightning
speed.
Calling a marine, Colonel Neville
pointed out the man on the balcony
and said bluntly: "Get him."
The marine fred and Martinez
fell mortally wounded. Exchange.

Prohibition Of Divorce.

Divorce with the right to remarry
would be prohibited forever in the
United States and in all places under
thenation's jurisdiction by an amend
ment to the federal constitution pro-
posed last week by Senator Ransdell
of Louisiana. Enactment of uniform
marriage laws for all states and ter
ritories with provision for separation
without permission to remarry would
be directed by the amendment.
1.-THE remedy by constitutional pro-
hibition is drastic" said the senator,
''but the malady is so fatal that moth
ing short of that will prove etficacious.
In the United States divorce is
spreading with alarming rapidity. 1t
has permeated every walk of life. and
is prevalent among every class OF
people. The total number of divorces
granted in 1867 was 1882, or ~ for
every 100000 people. Forty years
later, in 1906, there were 1902 di-
vorces, or Sc for each 100000. thus
allowing for the increased population
divorce had increased $40 per cent.
IF the United States were to write
in the constitution an amendment
prohibiting absolute divorce, it would
not be taking such a radical step as
might at first be thought, but would

My Dear Friends
wish to call your attention to one
of the most needed improvements of
this community, namely, that OF IA
Rest and Reading Room
At present there is not a single
place where our people and their
friends may find comfortable rest
ing place when they are down town
or in from the ranches, and it is my
firm conviction that such a place
would be q valuable asset in more
ways than one, to this town.
With your endorsement and help /
am going to establish a room which
will be thoroughly equipped with
games and reading matter for both
young and old, and which, with the
consent of the Woman's Club of NAL
ia will be a desirable place for the
keeping of the small number of books
which now make up the library.
The expense of maintaining such a
room when furnished will not be
large, and l am willing to devote u
large part of my time to the personal
supervision of the room free of ex-
pense if the people of Malta will CO.
operate with me in carrying out this
plan.
This room will not he under the
management or care of any one body
of the Christian church, but will be
purely non-sectarian in character.
Will you endorse this plan and help
in furnishing and maintaining it?
Very truly yours.
