The occupation is said to have fol-

were suffering great privations owing
to the revolution.
Gen. Venustiano Carranza issued an
ultimatum declaring himself the chief
head Of the republic. The proclama.
tion was issued at Cordoba and di.
rected to the military chieftains and
the civil employees of the central gov.
ernment, who were ordered to obey
Carranza as first chief of the Com
stitutionalists and to disregard totally
the mandates Of the Aguas Calientes
convention.
To the military chieftains, he said
that, unless they left the conference
and were back at their posts, their
next in rank would assume their
places.
Rogue Estrada, private secretary Of
General Carranza, said:

GOOD TIME TO PAY DEBTS.

While the price of wheat is now
soaring round about the price of
$1.00 per bushel, it would be an eX-
cellent time for our farmers to let
go of at least enough grain to en-
able them to pay their debts.
No doubt the present high price
Of grain is due to speculation on the
part of the gamblers who expect to
make much gain by the forcing up of
prices on account of the European
war. The temptation to hold for a
higher price, especially when the
tendency is for still higher prices is
great but past history shows us that
high prices do not hold up for a
very great length of time, and farm
ers in the past have lost much mon
ey by waiting for the market to ad-
vance still higher, a sudden drop
coming leaving the farmer in a
more distressed condition, than he
was before prices began to advance
Anything between ninty cents and a
dollar a bushel for wheat is fair
price, and every farmer, who must
sell sooner or later anyway, would
do we'll to play safe and take what
the spectators are now offering, for
who knows how soon the market
may drop. By selling at least par,
of their crop at the present good fig
ure, the farmers will be able to take
care of their debts, and the future
will pretty well take care of itself
whether the remainder of the croI
is sold at high figure or low.

THE WASTE OF WAR.
Portland Journal.

1t has been estimated that the
daily cost of Europe's war will run
to $150,000,000. Should the conflict
last year, the actual outlay will
exceed S,000,O0O,000 and this
will not include loss of property and
lives
In thirteen years the cost of
maintenance of armies and navies of
the countries at war, as we'll as the
cost of naval construction, has eX-
ceeded $40, 100000. The wealth
of the FIVE great powers at war is es-
timated at $270, 100000, so that
preparation for years fighting and
actual outlay during the conflict will
total more than fourteen per cent of
the total wealth.
England's great navy of $40 war
ships was built at a cost of many
billions of dollars. Naval construc
ton in the last 25 years has under
gone sweeping revolutions, so that
year by year the British government
was compelled to replace it's obso-
lete warships with fighting machines
embracing all the latest ideas sug
gested by experience and approved
by naval experts.
England'S expense for naval con-
struction has been enormous. From
1900, when $4S.940,G00 was voted
for new construction and armament,
the expense increased year by year
until $S0,500,000 was voted for the
fiscal year 1884. 1t has been a
tremendous load on the backs of the
Britons, and now the burden is made
heavier because of actual war.
Whatever verdict history may give
| as to responsibility for the present
conflict, the war must be held a dis
grace to civilization. 1t is an econo-
mic crime, and the sad part of it is
that the people who must pay the
penalty will be without blame.
J Speaking in London five months ago
concerning economic waste in pre-
pairing for war, Count Sergius
Witte said:
! Sketch a picture in your mind s
eye of all that those sums, if prop
erly spent, could effect for the ma
tions who now waste them on heavy
guns, rifles, dreadnoughts, fortresses
and barracks If this money were
laid out on improving the material
lot of the people, they would live
longer work to better purpose and
enjoy some of the happiness or con-
tentment which at present is the
prerogative of the few.
When | call to mind the gold and
the work thus dissipated in smoke
and sound, and compare that picture
with the other-villagers with drawn,
sallow faces, men and women and
dimly conscious children perishing
slowly and painfully of hunger-I
begin to ask myself whether human
culture and the white man who per-
sonifes it are not vending toward
the abyss"
The war which Count Witte pre-
dicted has come. Already babies are
crying for lack of milk in Vienna.
Women find it necessary to become
breadwinners. The glory" Of war
has been obscured by its waste and
the suffering it must bring upon this
and following generations.
