CANNOT SETTLE THE VICE PROBLEM BY
 FORGE, SAYS THOMAS

Kansas City. November S.-'The vice problem neveD can be settled by force said Bishop Nathaniel s. Thomas of Wyoming, in an address to the Interna-
 tional Purity congress today.
 Education is not wholly effective" he
 said. Force will always fail. It is as Napoleon said: Every struggle. has to be refought save that won by love- We have tried science and the only thing we have accomplished is to make vice safe. We have harped on eliminating the double standard. Yet we have scores of women in every city leading the worst kind of l lives who have not lost their social stand | ing and many retain their positions in various church societies. Police officials never can accomplish much because. to | make their efforts effective we would
 need as many officers as there are boys and girls"

AMERICANS ASKED TOLEAVE VERA CRUZ Merchants Petition Removal of U. s. Troops From
 Mexico

Vera Cruz. November S.-Many Vera Cruz merchants, at the behest of the constitutionalists, have petitioned the American authorities to leave the city. The petition says the United States is mistaken as to the reluctance of the people to pay duties and taxes a second time and that if the American forces will depart, they willingly will make the second payment. few merchants who withheld their signatures from the petition are said to have been threat ened with reprisals when the consti- tutionalists finally recover the port.
 Rumors that the Mexicans were con- sidering attacking the American troops are given much credence at the head quarters of General Funston. Candidio Aguilar. constitutionalst leader in the vicinity, has strengthened his forces. He has several pieces of artillery.

'bAVAR|AN PRINCE. TELLS IMPRESSIONS.
 OF EUROPE FAN WAR.
Says French Do Not Use Dumdum Bullets-The Germans Care For
 French Wounded

| Berlin, October 4.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-Prince Francis oi Bavaria, wounded early in October in tho lighting in France, in a newspaper ac- count giving his impressions of the war pays high tribute to the valor of the enemy. He admits that in some cases Germans fired on Red Cross flags by mis- take and says he found no evidence of use by the French of dunn dunn bullets
 Analyzing the ingredients that enter into the making of an effective army the prince rated highest the possession of plenty of officers who were not afraid to go in front.
 What is needed is bravery based upon discipline he said. ''The first battles proved one thing to me-that the decisive factor is to have many good officers With our troops we can do anything but the officers must keep in front. There was a second lesson from these first bat tles-the importance of an iron-lile dis cipline.'
 Regarding the battle of Saarsburg, Prince Francis said.
 That was murderous affair Before us and behind houses and factory build- ings were burning and there was the in- cessant thunder of heavy artillery.
 Witnessed Smelling
 "On August 29, We witnessed the she'll ing of temporary hospital by the en- emy's heavy siege guns. This day, with its frightful scenes, I never shall forget. In the morning we came near chateau from which the Red Cross flag was float ftarr G.<...z na French, were being cared for ill 1t. AL ready the enemy's fire had been raging around this chateau, but on the 29th the French no longer respected the Red Cross flag. Perhaps they did not see it. In the interests of the truth, I must say that the Red Cross often is not seen, and thus 1t comes to pass on both sides that mistakes occur.
 "A quarter of an hour before the enemy opened fire I had been summoned to the commander of my brigade. When came back tfe chateau and it's surrounding buildings had been shot to pieces. I rode up to 1t. Groups of wounded passed me without ceasing. I saw men With leg wounds holding fast to one another in groups of three or four, supporting each other. Many literally crept along.
 ''The medical officers had taken all the wounded, including the F'renchmen, out of the burning ruins of the chateau de- spite the heavy artillery fire. When l rode to the French wounded l found them overwhelmed with gratitude for the help given them by the German sanitary corps A wounded French lieutenant wrote out of his own accord a certificate to ths effect that the French had shot to pieces this chateau.
 "In the first days of the war the troops opposed to us apparently were not first class. The hotter the battles grew, how ever. and the further we advanced into France the more desperate was the re- sistance. The shooting of the French is by no means bad, and they have every thing at stake. But the day will come sooner or later when Frances military strength will break down."

TROOPS AT PRAIRIE CREEK HAVE MANY VISITORS SUNDAY Miners and Soldiers Still at Peace in Hartford
 Valley
SENT TO QUELL ANY
 DISORDER AT MINES
Trouble Began March 9 Last, When Operators Attempted to Place Employees on "Open Shop"
 Basis-Under Control

Prairie Creek, Ark, November Scamp Lindley M. Garrison, as the soldiers quar- ters here have been designated, was the mecca for the inhabitants of Hartford valley today. Hundreds poured into Prairie Creek from the coal mining set dement's in the valley fraternized with the troopers and inspected the quarters.
 So far there has been no clash between the miners and the soldiers. A number of men congregated at Hartford last night and it was feared some trouble might develop, but the night passed peacefully.
 The troops are here to put an end to disorders which have attended attempts of the Bache-Denman Coal company to operate its mines in the valley on the ~open shop" plan.
 Trouble Began in March
 Hartford Valleys troubles date back to March 20 last, when the company posted d notice at its mine, No. 4, the only one being operated, ordered the men to clean up and lay down their tools.
 The mine remained closed until April when the miners were notified they could return to work Ion the open shop" plan. At the same time the Southwest ern Coal Operators association, of which the Bache- Denman company was a mem Der, and a wage agreement with the miners which did not expire until July 31.
 The valley is strongly union in senti- ment and when, on April 6, an attempt was made to operate the mine with non- union labor. a mass meeting was held at the Prairie Creek schoolhouse after which thousand or more men marched to mine No. 4, beat up the guards, drew the fires from under the boilers and raised an American flag.
 Secure Injunction
 Shortly after this outbreak, temporary Injunction, restraining the miners from intefering with the operation of the mine was issued by United States Judge Trie- Der at Little Rock, in the absence of Judge Frank Youmans at Fort Smith. This action was taken in the federal court because of the fact that the mlne was controlled by the Mammouth Vein Coal Mining company, a West Virginia corporation with $100000 capital stock. This injunction was made permanent by Judge Yonmans at Fort Smith May 15 A few days later Deputy United States marshals were stationed at the mine. These were withdrawn June 5, on orders rom Washington.
 It was at this stage that the Bache- Denman company was placed under the protection of the government through receivership proceedings. Franklin Bache, the president, was named receiver.
 The biggest outbreak developed on July IT, wehn a battle was staged at mine No between mob of several hundred men and the guards and nonunion employees of the company.
 Thousands of shots were exchanged. James Sylessberry and John Baskin, non union men, are alleged to have been killed and their bodies burned in a cabin near
