 Reports at the navy department early today told of continued reor- ganization of government at Vera Cruz, where the army, working in conjunction with a civil executive, has taken control. Last reports from Rear Admiral Fletcher told of the re- lease of prisoners from ancient Cas- tillo De San Juan De Ulua. The old bastile is to be renovated and utilized as a naval arsenal.
 The routine of taking over the Huerta governments official business in Washington was completed at the Spanish embassy today. Under sec retaries and clerks who remained here after the departure of Mexican Charge Algara for Toronto have re- moved to the Spanish embassy.

The future policy of the Washington administration is being debated with much interest.
 Americans and Mexicans alike lack anything in the nature of definite in- formation on this subject, and they are all trying to interpret, from the trend of events since the seizure, whether the American occupation of Vera Cruz is to be permanent or not Ii once convinced that the American flag is to float over this city until tranquility is restored throughout the republic, it is virtually certain that the MeXlcanS O. vera STuZ Will SlVo their heartiest support to the American civil government.

At the recent convention in Council Bluffs, of the
Iowa Liquor Dealers Association resolutions were
adopted condemning picture films which disclose bar
and wine rooms filled with persons in all stages
of intoxicaton and showing also the evil effects of

aid of all organizations interested in the liquor bust
to stop the manufacture of such dangerous films

Dry German Congressman

George ]. Kinde is congressman from Colorado.
Also he is German. Furthermore he likes his beer.
But Kindel is a Prohbitionst. He believes in
personal liberty he admits that beer is his favorte
beverage but he that he is going to vote
for the Prohibition amendment resolution.
This is why:
Congressman Kindel discovered that the major
portion of the trouble in the Colorado mine strikes
due to liquor He believes in personal liberty, but
he also believes in righteousness If thing no mat
ter how good it might be, the occasion of evil,
then that thing would have to go, is the Kindel
reasoning
Mr. Kinde points out that the true citizen will
forego some of the things he likes if thereby he may
make the body polite more prosperous or happy.
There is great howl in the land about personal
liberty. Mr.. Knde has given personal liberty solar

Out With the Mol1ycOddle

One of Solon's laws who had been
neutral in the contests of the people should hold any
office whatsoever.
The wisdom of this law apparent
in the history of civilization than it is at this hour
when the people engaged in hand to hand
test with the saloon oppressor.
The man who has not enough red blood in his
arteries fight for his home for his wife and his child
has no right to have home wife child
Much less should he be given any public office
that has to do with the protection of the American
home
In the coming elections, the candidates for public
office should be scrutinzed as never before.
If offers himself for public office who
wags his head and says that he has interest in the
fight against the brewery oppressor, to that that
man, above all men is elected to stay at home
In the struggle of the people for freedom from
the brewery corporations the mollycoddle has
warrant to ask the votes of American manhood for
any public office
Such a has lot of nerve to ask for your
vote when he spurns YOU in your struggle for pro-
lection for your home your locality and your country

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF
THE Sun TO-DAY

Were the world a little less ad-
yanced, there probably would have
been the widest CONSERVATION to-
day in Russia and thruout that part
of Europe embroiled in war. because
at noon there was an eclipse of the
sun that was total over a part of
Russia and was partial over all that
part of the continent where men are
fighting
Despite the widespread know
ledge of astronomy of the present
day, 1t may we'll be said that the
peasants of Central Europe and
Russia, drafted as they have been
from their homes and field to fight
in war, the purpose of which tehy
cannot comprehend, the obscurity of
the great luminary just around mid
day, may incite telling of terror
that might upset the plans of the
generals
Time was when such a phenome-
non would undoubtedly have been
construed as an omen, the demon
stration Of Gods displeasure with
the warning nations.
The eclipse today is the most i'm
portant one of the year. 1t cast
total darkness over a strip of Russia
running from Rigadon on the Baltic,
to the Crimea, stretching thru the
polar regions of North America thru
Scandinavia, Asia Minor, Persia and
India
All of Europe, portion of Africa
and Asia and part of North Amer
lea that reaches down nearly to New
York, falls Within the partial eclipse,
the shadow of the penumbra. Where
the eclipse is but partial, the disc of
the moon creeps across the face of
the sun little by little, but will never
wholly obscure the orb
But, where the eclipse is total, the
moon entirely covers the sun and the
inhabitants of that region will see
the most wonderful phenomenon
known to astronomy-the corona of
the sun. Great waves of incandescent
gas, hundreds of thousands of miles
long, reaching out from the sun into
the ether may be perceived. The
countryside takes on a sinister night
gray color and tints of nature pale
and deaden as at twilight, the tenn
perature falling perceptibly and
birds, believing that night has come,
hush their singing and seek their
nests.
The eclipse is recurring one. It
happens at the end of every eighteen
years and eleven days. 1t is caused
by the moon coming between the
sun and the earth at such an angle
that the sun is wholly obscured from
part of the earth and partially shut
off from a much greater area. The
eclipse that occurred today was OBJ
served July 28, 1878 and August
9, 1896.
In Russia the total eclipse lasts a
few minutes more than two hours,
with partial eclipse of like period.
In France, Belgium and Germany,
the partial eclipse lasts about an
hour and half, from eleven o'clock
in the morning until half an hour
past noon.
In the northern part of the United
States where the partial eclipse was
visible, it occurred between five and
six O'Clock this morning.
