URGENT DEFICIENCY BILL PASSES SENATE: Half Million Dollars Provide for Maintenance of Refu-
 gee Camps

Washington, March 1s.-After a viz orous defense by Senator Lodge, re- publican, of the governments expen- ditures in caring for Mexican soldiers and other refugees interned in Texas and California the Senate today passed the urgent deficiency bill, carrying a total of ncre than ten millions of dol lars. half a million of which was add ed by the Senate appropriations com mittee for the maintenance of refugee camps.
 An amendment was adopted to pro- vide that the war department shall expend this money only in caring for soldiers and military refugees. This however will not affect the status of women and children interned with the soldiers, as they are regarded as part of the Mexican army.
 Senator Bristow of Kansas opposed the appropriation, insisting that since the United States recognized no gov ernment in Mex co no foundation had been laid for claim for repayment Senator Lodge declared the reception Eof the refugee soldiers not only was in accordance with international usage but was obligatory because of the treaty signed at The Hague by many nations including the United States and Mexico.

Naught or Nought?

1t makes little difference to any one

The Way to Do Business.
rom the Chicago Herald.

From the Chicago Herald.
A straight tip on the best way to do
business came from Iceland to Chicago
last week. The process is extremely
simple. 1t is to go ahead and do it.
Iceland wanted a new market for her
ring. Correspondence first addressed to
the Chicago Chamber of Commerce dis
closed the fact that there was a market
here. Whereupon a deal was closed
and the shipment made. Last week it
arrived in this city-thirty-two cars of
Iceland herring. What is more, it was
brought to the coast in an Icelandic
ship. said to be the first to touch our
shores in the last twenty years.
This ship will take back a return
cargo of grain, flour and other articles.
1t is safe to assume that this repre-
sents a large part of the purchase price
of the herring. Which shows that Ice
land also understands that the way to
trade is to take what the other party has
to sell. Here we have the entire prob
lem of International business in a nut
shell. Have something to sell. Find
who wants to buy it. Take as much
as you can of what he wants to sell,
either directly or indirectly. And there
you are, South American business and
business from other foreign quarters
can be gotten in just. the way that
Iceland got her business with this
country-and in no other way.

Seeing by Wire.

From the BOSTON Transcript.
There are hints abroad in the scientific
world that seeing by wire is soon to be
an accomplished fact. Already a man in
England has sent vision over an electri-
fed wire for space of some miles. The
popular inference is that this new in
vention will be Joined to the telephone.

the cost of installing seeing phone

In the dusk she alighted at her own
door She unhtched old Pete and took
him to his stall and gave him some
hay to MUNICH. Then she proceeded to
the house. When she reached into her
pocket for the key the pocket was
empty. Just for an instant she felt
dismayed; then she began to search.
The hunt was futile from the begin

steps with her tired head in her hands
trying to think where she had left the
key.
Certainly without it she could not

thought. ut won't be so terribly cold.
