II is good \. r. A. stuff True it is
not brilliant. but the guardians Of
hbertiuism do not require their read

that matter.
What are the facts2 Did not Prest
Wilson virtually depOse Pres't Huerta
op the ground thai ne had secured
the presidency through assassination
Was this not equivalent TO the set
ting up OF the present reign of terror
in Mexico Can Ires't Wilson evade
responsibility for the reign of terror
If his scrupulOus conscience would not
permit the recognition OF Huerta be-
cause OF q mere suspicion that he had
secured power by assassination, how
can he regard with such phuOsOphjc
calm the slaughter, the sacrilege. the
bestiality which he made possible in
Mexico?
You make a comparison between
the situation and our missionaries
who go % Turkey. The failure Of our
government TO protect our missiOnar-
les makes us the laUghing-stock of
Europe: but even if our position to-
wards the missionary were correct, il
has nothing 20 do with the situation
in Mexico. We accept before the
world a responsibility for the decent
behaviour of the southern republics.
A few years ago we staggered into
war with Spain because Of alleged afro
cities in Cuba. A single millionaire
could get us to walk into war with
Mexico tomorrow for money, but the
News Times shudders at the thought
Of any kind Of TemOnstrance against
the violation OF sisters Of charity by
the incarnate devils of Mexico
L am a peace lover But there are
worse things than war, and one of
them is the brutiliZatiOn Of a nation
through commerce so that il will
never night for principle, but only for
gold Another is the fossilization of
the ideals of the Christian world which
permits in this refined and gentle cen
fury a new kind of atrocity without
protest. Nuns have been killed be-
fore, poor things in the madness of
a revolution. / am not aware that
they have ever before been outraged
with the cOnnivance Of a Christian
nation and the approval of editors.

Asleep on Track.

w. P. Malone, a prominent young
business man of Sikeston, while on
a hunting trip near Charter Oak Sun
day morning, was struck by Frisco
passenger train No. S82, and was
seriously injured.
Mr.. Malone with a party of Skies
ton friends had gone to their club
house at Charter Oak on Saturday
night, and early Sunday morning
started out for a hunt. He became
tired from his long walk, and loss of
sleep, and sat down on the edge of the
railroad track to rest. He fell asleep
and was not awakened by the ap-
preaching train. The engineer failed
to see him until too late to avoid the
accident.
He was taken to Morehouse and Civ
en- medical attention and was later
conveyed to his home in Sikeston. His
back was seriously injured.

PLEA OF ABATEMENT
BY WIN. ROCKEFELLER
Former New Haven Director Asks In
Dictment Dismissal; Others
File Demurrers.

New York, Nov. 23-William
Rockefeller, Standard Oil millionaire,
this afternoon petitioned the Federal
Court to dismiss the indictment charg-
ing him and 20 other former New
Haven directors with criminal viola
ton of the Sherman law. The clerk
who drew the grand jury panel, Rookie
Teller charged, is a resident of New
Jersey, which is not in this Federal
district.
This is one reason given by Rookie
Teller in a plea of abatement as to
why the Indictment is invalid and
should be dismissed.
Other directors and former direc-
tors filed demurrers.
Earlier in the day counsel for the
II men requested an extension for
final plea until tomorrow, which was
granted.

SINKING OF NIGER

latest events:
Lordon-ln the long naval career
of Great Britain there has never been
such a daring raid against her coast
as that which resulted in the sinking
of the gunboat Niger, 10 miles from
Dover and 6S miles from London. In
accomplishing the feat the German
submarine approached within a mile
of the British coast off Deal and
passed through the deadly mines re-
Gently laid for the protection of the
strait of Dover and London herself.
The British now fear that the deadly
German craft may yet reach London.
London-A critical phase of the
battle in west Flanders has been
reached and the next few days should
produce something decisive. Terri
1c fighting has marked the struggles
Of the Germans to reach the coast.
The Germans have crossed the User
river according to the latest official
Paris communication and although
the invaders are only a few hundred
yards on the left bank of the stub
boTnly contested river, the Allies
cannot be indifferent to their gain.
Efforts will be made to dislodge
them.

SAVE THE
STARVING

The civilized world must applaud he splendid spirit which prompts
the Rockefeller Foundation to announce its intention OF expending mil
lions of dollars If necessary" to SAVE thhe Belgian people from starvation.
Let the tongues Of carping critics be slenced by this manifestation of real
Christian charity and helpfulness Already a shipload OFF food is e route
from New York City, and others will rapidly follow Belgium is wholly
devastated Nearly the last yestge OF food Is exhausted annd 100000 people
face starvation The Rockefeller Foundation. as a n agency ito promote the
wekbeing of mankind throughout the world" could not adopt n better
means OF fulfilling its purpose than its prompt response to Begums ter
rNe necessities affords.
But the Rockefeller Foundation, however commendable its prompt and
generous response, cannot be expected or permitted to shoulder the burden
alone Here is work for the whole American people. Here is al opportunity
unparalleled for the exercise Of the spirit of brothery love and Christian
heplfulness. Out OF the funness of American plenty there should be food
for all who suffer in stricken Belgium. 1t is estimated that it will require
100000 to $5O00000 a month"; to provide the barest necessities for the
innocent noncombatants OF that desoued country, Hence II will be readily
seen that ever the vast resources of the Rockefeller Foundation will be made
give that much money and never miss it. Here is a n opportunity fol real
practical charity in which cry ew inhabitants of the United States are too
poor to lend q helping hand

REVIVAL IN
MINING

The mining and miningstock outlook or Nevada should be veryg good in
the next two or three weeks and it would not be at all surprising if there
were a revival in mining interest during the remaining months Of the
winter and well through the spring.
For substantial developments the work on the Jumbo Extension in
Godfeld has opened up a new vista fora camp that was rapidly beginning
to feel almost at the end of the great deposit. Now there is a new theory
that will drive away the fear of that trick OF n baneful Midas who would
transmuteg gold into copper rather than copper into gold. AS for the copper
camps there is still a dark outside lining OF the cloud, but If shipping diff
cultes are met ven that may pass This country must begin to manufac-
ture copper into merchandise forms and the longer the ar the more
chance there will be ola recovery of the copper situation.
The best indication of a revival of interest in mining stocks comes from
the general situation. Investors son will be able o get their hands on
capital. The federal reserve system will DO be in working order; inter.
national credits will be adjusted and there must be some outlet for the
investing desire. 1ndustrals and railroad stocks are hardly n shape to tempt
any other form
