REplscovERING THE WEST.

Word comes from Kansas that the state will need over 10000 men to assist in gathering it's enormous wheat crop Calls for men come rom a dozen middle and northwestern states. Thousands of men, mostly recent immigrants, who make Chicago their headuuarters, have left for these states in the last few days. 'Ihou- sands of others are going daily.
 To most of the foreign laborers this trip to the western states IS thelr first acauaintance with the West and with American farm life. What a splendid thing it would be for these men and for the country at large ii instead of coming back to Chicago after the harvest season is over they would try to locate in those states permanently. There certainly are as many opportunities for able bodied and work-willing men to earn live lihood there as there are in Chicago and other over-crowded cities.
 If these men at the close of the harvest season return to the congest- ed cities it will not be entirely their fault. They are, after all, strangers here. They may be in the heart of a country literally overfowing with milk and honey and yet not know how to anchor there. Right here is where the foreign press and the lead CTS of the foreign communities can help both the immigrants and the nation-can do much toward making the immigration problem less acute. The foreign press can enlighten these men about the country they are in and about the opportunities there are in it for them. Foreign American societies might even send represen- tatives there who could devise ways and means Of making the men who have left the big cities stay away from them. The West needs to be rediscovered for the newer immi- grants. It is the duty of the Amer icanized and well-to-do citizens of these nationalities to lead in this work of aiding their brethren.-Chi- cago Tribune.

parties. spreading out over the entire
city.
When the Zapta forces entered Mex
leo City the students, armed with all
sorts of weapons, from pistols of small
caIiber to old muzzle loading double
barrelled shOtguns. already had taken
possession of the principal streets.
These manifestations awed the mObs,
who confined themselves to breaking
into small stores along unfrequented
streets.
Terror was added to The situation by
the fact that the men of Cen BlancO's
command, in their hurry to get Of
harms way, held up coaches n IN
hitched horses or broke into public and
private stables and seized any animal
that would enable them to escape. Dur
ing these operations considerable fir

Iturbide ReOrgnnizes Police.
Eduardo Iturbide. governor of the
federal district under the CarbajaI re-
gime, offered his services and led the
reorganization of the police force, call
ing on all former army officers and
soldiers for that purpose. Iturbide
worked in conjunction with Col SAL
dana, of the Zapata forces, and by 10
o'clock that night 200 foot and 100
horse of these volunteers were patrol
ing the streets. BY midnight com
plete quiet and order prevailed in the
downtown districts.
In h succeeding days more Of "a
pata's troops entered the capital, a
form of provisional government was
brought into existence and general or
der was preserved.

The bodies Of Carl Eek, Of FL Paso.
William Bishop, of San Antonio, n a
negro. William Spencer, have been re-
covered and were taken to Pearson,
Mexico, Wednesday, according to ad-
vices received here. The three men

after hearing Of the tragedy, to make
an examination. The raves Of the
three men were located about a week
ago.
It is the intention Of Mr.. Eek to
bring The three bodies to the border on
the North Western train arriving in
Juarez Friday. The filibusters were
in command OF a former re%volutionist
named Perez. They have been closely
pursued by a detachment Of Villistas
from the Casas Grandes garrison under
command of Mai. Talamantes.
Early this week the f~ilibusters seized
l6 horses belonging to an American, but
eight of these were later recovered.
The members Of the band ave been
fighting among themselves and there

Too Much Coffee; Too
Many Beans in Mexico
Since Poems in Charge

The distribution Of lands in the
coffee belt of Mexico, either by the gov
eminent or by seizure by poems, has
resulted in a large over production Of
coffee, according to advices received
here. It is stated that in many cases
the poems working on the large planta-
tiOns continued TO plant and harvest
the crops after the owners had been
forced to leave.
The operation of the plantations by
poems has resulted in an enormous
production in certain centers and d
general lowering of the quality, as the
berries are not being properly har-
vested or treated. The poems are act
ing Independently and are selling the
coffee wherever they can, without pay
ing any attention to the supply and
demand at the big coffee markets. In
some sections OF the coffee belt, the
two years and the tropical climate and
dense vegetation has turned large
tracts into wildernesses. Despite this
the production has been so heavy and
so little attention has been paid to
selling that it is estimated that
thousands of sacks of coffee will be
allowed to go to waste, as it cannot be
sold at any Irice.
Although not as bad, conditions in
the frijole trade in northern Mexico
are similar to the coffee situation in
the south. 1t is stated hat one broker
alone has 1000, 600 pounds of f~rijOles in
Juarez that he has been unable to dis
pOse Of. Continual interruption of
railroad traffic and a greatly increased
productive area, together with a gen
eral lowering IN the standard of the
product, has resulted in a large de-
crease in the price laid for the beans.

Emiliano Zapata, during his recent
