66TTHEEE is less excitement IN
London over the present Eu-
Il ropean war than there is in
e Paso over the Mexican situation,
said +. H. Spence According TO let
ter received yesterday from my
brother. who is a recruit in the Eng
lish army. who is now training in Lon
don. business is being continued as
usual and there is very little evidence
Of war. except the appearance Of the
soldiers on the streets In the letter
my brother stated that there had been
so many applications for enlistment IN
the army that the recruiting officers
We're helpless Banks and government
offices have guaranteed TO make up
the difference between the salary re-
Ceived by private in the army and Inc
paw Of employees i'm different branches
Of business This has been taken au-
vantage Of by a large number Of re-
cruits. According TO the letter, there
is not a patch OF grass IN LONDON
where soldiers are not training under
the regulations Of war laid down py
lord Kitchener. Ny brother enclosed
a number of photographs OF recruits IN
which I recognized several Of my FOR
mer friends and classmates who nave
rendered their services TO the country
in time of need There IS very lltJLe
fear of Germany making an attack on
English shores, as the coasIs llhe Is
well protected with battleships."
: eff the river continues at its present
] height there Will soon be some goou
fishing for FL Pasoans,T said Jere Du-
Bose. THE fishing in the Rio Grande
| is only good when the river mas neeh
carving a good head Of water for a
considerable time, or when IL IS nearly
dry. In the former case the fsh-
q n o.
well down the river, begin swimming
Up stream and. if person has plenty
Of patience. he can come back with
good catch The ideal time 10 tisn'
! however. is when there Is no water
/ flowing but many deep pools scattered
along the river bed Seines are often
used at this time and hundreds Of fish
7 are caught
! Losses as reported in the European
war are STAGGERING. but il is not gen
| orally known that losses right here m
the United States, during times OF
| peace. are as large as during some
wars" said F. L. W. Polk Accidents

THE idea suggested by the Women's
Rescue Home association TO take
/ charge of all delinquent juvenile girls
Z for small compensation TO be palo
by the county for their board. is an
/ excellent one said Mrs. Emma Web

/ there is no suitable place TO confine

/ iafl are not the place to cOn1ine slrls

I many OF the large cities the authorl-
I ties have found it one OF the pigsesl
I factors in reducing juvenile crime 70
J provide such homes These Delinquent
! girls are often given TO the Home OF

! cations similar TO the rescue society
{ There are many young girls who nave

( $50 which viii be used by the asso-
I citation in boarding these girls
