Plans of constitutionaIist,.

Vera Cruz, May 27.-The constitu-
tionalist agent here has announced
that the eonstitutionalists are about to
occupy Alvarado and Tlacotalpan, a
short distance south of Vera Cruz. 1t
is believed that few federals are in
that neighborhood, but the concentra-
ton of the constitutionalists at Alvara-
do would menace the rear of the fed
eral force holding the outposts against
the American line at Tejera, nine miles
south of the city. This would mean
the reopening of the Vera Cruz-Al-
varado narrow guage railroad, where
by the city could obtain a supply of
garden and dairy products.
The constitutionalists are said to be
under command of DR. Camacho. who
has been giving the federals in that Sec
ton trouble for months.
1t Is reported that Camacho has with
him 15 American refugees who have
been weeks in getting out from the in

Horses for Slaughter.


According to reports, 10000 horses
are to be shipped from New Orleans to
France for military service, consign-
ment of $50 having already gone. A
similar demand may be made for Amer
ican mules. The result. of course, will
be reflected in rising prices in this coun-
try. where not since the Spanish Amert-
can war has horSaflesh failed to COM
mand a very handsome figure, ever
though the automobile has come to its
ascendency in the meantime.
This slaughter of man and beast in
Europe wrings a common plea and pro-
manitarian workers. When a million
men are suffering in the trenches, wet
cold and wounded, what are a few chill
dren, suffering under conditions in the
factories?" exclaimed Miss Jane Adams
Similarly a leader in the work of the
American humane association observes
1T seems ludicrous to spend thousands
of dollars for the prevention of minol
injuries to horses here, while thousands
are being shipped abroad to endure
much greater suffering. even slaughter
But, of course, the question there is
into the capacious NAV of war haster
or retard the human slaughter? We
would sacrifice all our horses to end the
war But the logic of both these good
women is sound Men and nations can
not deliberately outrage the basic laws
of society and humanity with impunity
The world will not easily slip from un-
der the impact of it's own retribution In
consequence of this unSpeakaole slaugh-
ter and desola.ion on the continent o1
Europe, the vaunted home of civiliza-
ton The more this thought is borne
in upon us all, the more 1t may in tim:

DEVICE PROTECTS BIRDS
FROM LIGHTHOUSE DEATH

How migrating birds may be pro-
tected from destruction by lighthouses
through device invented by Heer ]. P.
ThiJsse of Utrecht is described by
Henry Oldys in little pamphlet. Cur
rent Items of Interest" just issued by
the Audubon Society of the District Of
Columbia. Attracted by the lights at
night, thousands of birds are killed
yearly at the lighthouses.
The destruction of birds by light
houses Is very great" says the pam
phlet. and many of the records Of mi
grating birds used by the biological
survey of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture are obtained
through the lighthouse keepers. who
report or forward specimens of birds
found on the mornings of spring and
autumn on the gallery beneath the
light. Heer Thijsse believed that death
resulted not so much from the birds
striking the light as from their flying
'daZed and weary, round and round the
incomprehensible gIeam. until they
dropped down exhausted into the sea
or onto the lighthouse gallery.
Set Of Perches Below Light.
His remedy was to place below the
light set of perches on which the
birds could rest. when tired OF. until
the return of day. when they could re-
sumo their interrupted journey REIN
vigorated.
His device has been tried at the
great Terschelling light for three years
with notable success. 1t is reported
that his rests have reduced the loss
of bird life at that light from thou
sands in a night to something like a
hundred in a whole migration season.
Demonstrations Prove Successful.

ton of the utility of the rests the

The original cost of installation Of
the Thijsse rests is from $50 to G1O0,
and the running expenses are about s10

TERROR TO THE ALLIES
Latest Addition to German Equip

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
LONDON. November 14.-Krupp's ba by
howitzer-''minenwur it is called
by the Germans-is the latest terror
the allied armies are called upon to
face in the trenches: and it's novelty,
Its comparative simplicity and it's de-
structiveness attest to the complete
ness of the German fighting equipment
The huge howitzers with which the
Germans battered down the strongest
Belgian forts were for a time the most
talked-of feature of the German artil-
lery: but now that Col. f. D. Swinton,
the British "eye witness with the ex-
peditionary force. has drawn attention
to this trench howitzer, the British
press is describing it.
The uniqueness of the little howitzer
lies in the fact that though It's caliber

shell whose diameter is more than a
foot. Weighing. with it's charge of high
explosive. nearly 200 pounds. This Is
done by the simple expedient Of attach

the howitzer. one has but to imagine a
small boy placing cherry with a pin
thrust in 1t over the mouth of a blow

cherry, the "adapter" the pin.
The velocity of the shell is low-only
23O feet per second. The lowest eleva-

degrees, an angle at which the she'll

the highest angle at which it may be

be plainly followed. Men can dodge it,
but its explosive interior works havoc
with the trench. This is all that is ex-

his decree of several months ago,
