THEORY OF WATER VAPOR
ON MARS is CONFIRMED

BOSTON. May The theory of the ex-
istence Of water vapor on the planet
Mars is confirmed by spectograms taken
at Lowell observatory. Flagstaff Arz..
according to an announcement given out
lalst night by DR.. Percival Lowell from
his Office here
The statement saws that while the
amount of water is difficult to determine
the estimates placed it at about onethird
tha. OF the atmosphere of the earth.
The PHOTOGRAPH were taken in Feb
ruary by DR.. V. M. Slipher and the
measurements have Just been completed
by Prof Frank w Very Of Westwood
with the spectral band compartor The
statement continues: "Dr. Slipher has
taken advantage of new stain for his
rlates, which Produces greater sensitive
ness !r the portions of the spectrum to
b examined SO that results are definite
ones They indicate "a difference In
amount of water vapor In different parts
Of the planets surface. Very Is satisfied
that the equatorial poltlcns of the planet
are very dry, ard that the polar precip!-

horrible anarchy has been debasing what
are now the Mexican northern states on
our harassed border.
Hundreds of Americans have been kill

our property destroyed. European ma

people demand redress. Europe looks
to us for action. Must we take another
long step to the south and annex more

The first armed conflict with Mexico
gave us the mighty states of Texas. CALI

which we afterward paid S15.hO,oo. The
