1.-The department of Ardennes has
an area of only 2,02S square miles,
but it possesses population of nearly
$4,000 people. In parts of it there
are stock farms that remind one of
the blue grass region of Kentucky.
The common crops of the northeastern
section of the United States flourish,
and fruit-growing is practiced in some
sections.
There are numerous industries in
this region. At Bouizicourt is the
large powder factory of st. Pence; and
at Charleville, there are large nail
making and type founding establish
ments. Sugar factories, tanneries,
iron foundries and metal working es-
adjustments dot the valley of the
Meuse. There are important textile
plants centered at Sedan, and the
department produces annually hundreds
of thousands of pairs of wooden shoes.

after a short illness. Last Wednes-
day Mr. Kane took a short walk down
town. Returning TO his home several
hours later he fell on his doorstep,
following a stroke of paralysis. The
attending physician held out no hope
of recovery from the first owing to his
advanced age
Mr.. Kane was born in Ireland, July
u. 1889, where he spent the early
years of his life. He came 10 this
country in 1855, going direct to Mo
line, where he learned the timers
trade. A short time later he removed
TO this city. In 1861 he opened q tin
shop at Seventeenth street and Sec
ond avenue, where the Best building
now stands, taking with him into part
nership Fred Hass, under the firm name
of Kane & Hass. This was one of the
first business houses in the city. Sew

France, and one which has figured
prominently in the present war in
Europe.
in fact Ardennes boasts of two
'panhandles' instead of one. The main
one shoots northward into Belgium
for a distance of about II miles, and
has an average width of about seven
miles. The other thrusts itself east
ward between the Belgian border and
the department of the Meuse for some
II miles, and has a width of some
eight or nine miles.
"The department slopes generally
toward the Aisne, which flows through
its southeast-central section, although
the Mouse flows through its northeast
section and thence norhward through
the Belgian panhandle Although the
airline distance between the point
where the Meuse comes into Ar
dennes is less than so miles, the wa
terway distance is Ill miles.
For large part the department is
occupied by the remains of the French
section of the great forest of the
Ardennes, through which julius Gaze
sar campaigned, and which separated
the Celts and the Teutons of early
European history. The forests have
largely disappeared with the en-
croachments of civilization, but the
sharply marked linguistic boundary
between the Fleming-speaking people
of Flanders and the French-speaking
people of southern Belgium still tells
of the ancient barrier to intercourse
between the two peoples.

BIG AMERICAN
STEAMER LEFT
THE cRAsTER HALL, AFTER DIS
CHARGING A LITTLE MORE
THAN HALF CARGO OF NITRATE
OF SODA, GOES TO NEW YORK.

After discharging at this port a lit
tie more than half of her cargo OF
about 5000 tons of nitrate OF soda,
the big former British steamship Cras-
ter Hall cleared yesterday and at 4
o'clock cast of lines and steamed for
New York. All the copper bullion and
practically all the wool which this
steamship brought from South Amer
lea, will be discharged in New York
also.
While in the Straits of Magellan,
and while flying the British flag, the
Craster Hall struck the rocks and sus-
tanned quite a rent in her hull. This
was patched up considerably, and will
be safe TO permit the vessel to go to
New York, where a dock will be
sought and considerable repairs made.
There were more than a dozen diff
ferent nationalities on this vessel, and
quite number Of Germans. One Of
the Officers who was signed as the
assistant steward" was H. D. Ing
ham, who boarded the vessel in Chill,
and who was said to be a British
army officer. Another passenger"
was also aboard signed up for the
trip as some assistant to higher Off
GERS, and he was also said to have
been an officer from the British army.

Mysterious disappearance OF cigar
cites from a case at the Dubuisson
store on East Intendencia street caused
the proprietors to try strategy to catch
the guilty party or parties, and small
gong was rugged up inside of the
case, which would ring when the case
was opened. A jangling Of this gong
yesterday caused those in the store
to notice the case and a negro who
gave his name to the police as VIII
Reese, but whose right name is viii

the place.
Whether he was the one who had
systematically helped himself to Gig
arettes in defiance of instructions or
not, was not SO stated when the war
rant for his arrest was sworn QUE, but
the fact stood out that he was the one
whom the gong first located there,
and he is now in the county tafl,
charged with larceny.

Serious Situation Along
Our Mexican Border.

The situation along the Mexican
border is fraught with great possibil-
tiles for trouble. The president has
declared that firing across the border
must cease and has sent five hundred
men from Fort Bliss, armed with field
guns to enforce the order. Provisional
president General Villa and other
leaders of the various factions have
been duly warned that further firing
across the border will result in the
fire being returned by United States
troops which, Of course, means that
all forces in combat in dangerous
proximity to the border will be forced
to retire. But the firing across the
border has not ceased. On the day
General Bliss arrived he narrowly es-
capped a bullet fred across the border
and Friday a United States cavalry
man was wounded.
Not since the trouble with Huerta
Cruz by the United States troops have
relations with Mexico been so strained
as at the present time and Washing
ton officials, while hoping that a di-
rect encounter may be avoided. fear
that it is inevitable. The assertion
Of President Wilson that such action
as may be necessary will be taken
only in defense of American interests
and that there is no intention on the
part of the United States to make
any move that might be considered ag-
gressive, while It will have a ten
dency to quiet any fears official Mex
leo may feel as to the ultimate in
tentions of the United States, will
hardly prevent serious international
feeling should 1t become necessary for
the troops to resort to extreme meas
ures to protect the lives and property
IF citizens of this country.
That the situation Is tense is ad-
mitted. That President Wilson will
handle it to the best interest Of the
people of the United States is a fore
gone conclusion. But if firing upon the
Mexicans becomes necessary it may
lead to attempts at reprisal which
will necessitate the maintenance of
q considerable force upon the south
western border and. possibly, to Sc
rious encounters with the revolution
lists.

No indeed. If the Germans are
"boneheads," we shall have to credit
| our friend Prof SeeI, with oeing the
first one to apply that term. If also,
the devastation of Belgium, of a part
Of France, ard Of Russian Poland. with
the attendant killing and manning of
thousands Of men and the hunger and
cold and want of thousands of innO-
cent women and children, may be re-
EaTded as successes-if this was the
Kaiser's object-then the work of his
armies has been rich in accomplish
ment
But If the Kaiser's object was the
crushing of France. the defeat of Rus
acquiesence, and the speedy termination
of a war of his own making by peace
terms OF similar making-if this was
his Object-then the work of his ar
mics has been down to date an alb
solute failure.
The German army is the greatest
fighting machine the world has ever
known. But even that army-superb
in training, equipment, enthusiasm,
and valor-is further today from the
thing which we assume the Kaiser set
out to DO than it was three months
ago. All of this is nothing to the dis
credit of the men who are doing the
fighting and getting killed and manned
1t simply indicates that when the
Kaiser sent his ultimatums of war he
tackled too big a job.
