, THREE DAYS, BATTLE IN MEXICO.

After reading the European war bulletins 1t Is
with sense of the udicrous that one turns to the
dispatches from Mexico telling of three days battle
at Naco and of loss by the Carran2a forces of six
killed and eight wounded And yet there were some
fairly good-szed casualty lists in the battles that
General Villa fought in his march upon the Mexican

TRAFFIC. REGULATIONS AND ENFORCEMENT

IHAFfIO AMI
Traffic regulations in New Jersey vary and as a
general rule they are indifferently enforced in mu-
inequalities There is uniformity and very little
responsibility. In Newark there is better control OF
street traffic than in any other city of the State and
In Newark there is large room for Improvement, as
every wayfarer knows
Uniform traffic regulations are needed, and there
should be legislation for that purpose, but laws
amount to nothing If they not enforced. Police
regulations require the exercise of police vigilance,
and If the police force is inadequate or ignorant of
their duties badly managed there is no vigilance
and precious little regulation of street traffic
The statute books of the State are loaded up with
laws that are enforced and comparatively few of
the ordinances of cities enforced. As rule
policemen are familiar with the ordinances, which
are daily violated right under their noses
If there is thing in the way OF efficiency
needed in municipalities in this State 1t is that which
accomplishes the enforcement of laws and ordi
nances and to effect this result there must be an ade
quate police force and the policemen must be proper!

of course the tables groaned.
But that wasn't all. How those
standpat business men and politicians
did groan. Groan? They moaned.
They mourned. They viewed with
alarm Not content with their own
powers as moaners and mourners,
they had imported two of the most
capable and expert moaners and view

Fortunate Preparation.

From the Boston Herald
Have you ever thought how fortu-
nate il was that this European war
the greatest catastrophe in the CEN
tury-overtook the United States after
a period of prolonged liquidation?
The Balkan war, in the autumn of
1912, was so exhaustive of European
capital as to lead to the steady I'M
loading of American securities held
abroad They have been pouring in
here ever since, and gradually find
ing owners. American business also
underwent about the same time some
psychological depression, with the re-
suit that we were walking much
nearer the ground in our business re-
lations than at any time in a genera
ton.
If this European war, for example,
had broken out in 1905. when the
shortage of freight cars was prevent
ing the movement of traffic, and bus
mess was everywhere speeded to high
gear, both here and in Canada, with
American securities held in large
quantities throughout Europe. the A.
nancial crash would have been in
conceiyably severe. Instead Of such

Dog Shot When He Tries to Save Master
from Burglars.
CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-Colonel, a big
st. Bernard dog, is dead, a martyr to
loyalty. His master, Sven Carlson,
is an innkeeper in Racine avenue.
Sunday night two robbers entered
Carlson's place and ordered him to
hold up his hands. Colonel knew
something was wrong. He darted
from behind a bar, growing. He
attacked the robbers and one of them
shot him. When Carlson saw the
dog lying on the boor his wrath made
him fearless. He seized a. bung-
starter and leaped over the bar.
The robbers fled and he chased them
down the street He then hurried
back to Colonel, who greeted him
with a feeble wagging of his tail.
Colonel was then removed to
veterinary hospital for treatment and
died there. his head resting on the
arm of his master.

Appreciation of Past and Present.
From the Springfield Republican.
1t is easy to understand the feeling,

at the tendency of Americans to bark
back to the Germany of Leasing,
Schiller and Goethe, praising that at
the expense Of the rich and powerful
imperialistic Germany which has
arisen since 1870. In tho same way
Italians feel not a. little annoyed when

are Germans, ignore the fine achieve
HleUlS OF united Italy dtlu reserve
| their praise for the Renaissance OF
ancient Rome. The futurists have re-

canals of Venice filed up, and the
| palaces converted into smoky fac
! tories These feelings are natural
enough, yet sympathy is worth some
thing even If it is one-sided, and I'M
questionably the achievements of the
great men of the past have done much
| to create a sincere and warm ad-
miration for Germany. If 1t is a back
ward-looking admiration. it should be
| considered that that is the way litera-
/ ture works. Germany itself long en-
! tertained a lively interest in the

rather resented the passing of the last

Shortage In German Glass Eyes Bothcrs

LONDON, Oct. 6.-German- made
glass eyes. which, it was said today
by one of the most prominent dealers
the best made, may soon have to be
imported via America, as the supply
on hand is already exhausted and
the suspension of commerce, as well
as patriotic reasons, makes 1t impos-
sible to get them direct from Ger

This dealer declared that mitrail-
leuse and shrapnel fire had caused
many leg wounds and for this reason
there would soon be large demand
for artificial legs. He thought there
would be fewer arms than legs lost
by the wounded.
