fed creek, and at no point is it so
wide that a Mexican with ordinary
eyesight connot stand on his side and
observe the craftsmanship medals
so literally besprinkled among the
troops on our side. In the olden days
the Mexican brave used to think
these medals were there for scenery,
but he knows better now. Occasion
ally wild, impulsive young men would
come up from the interior in pur-
suit OF their fellowman, pausing on
ly when their quarry waded the Rio
Grande. Even then many daring in
dividuals could not resist the temp
tation of taking shot at the olive
drab-clad gringo who proffered
sanctuary to their enemy. However
they generally made the mistake of
indulging in long range shooting, so
naturally they didn't see those
craftsmanship medals, and naturally
they didn't hit anything.
Now, as everybody knows, marks
manship medals given to those who
excel in long-range shooting, and
500, or l, 900 yards, is just old pie
for any soldier who has put in one
hitch and qualified at the butts. Con-
sequently the border guard pays
scant attention to this firing unless
morally convinced that the patriots
across the creek are really getting

Brief Little Incidents That Tend
Relieve the Tedium of Patrol
Duty on the Border

NJ troop, of the Thirteenth cavalry,
is stationed on the bank of the Rio
Grande on the western fringe of Ell
Paso, in consequence of which the
troopers are in far better fix for So
cial enjoyment than their fellows up
the river at Anapra, New Mexico.
NJ troop patrols about eight miles of
river. They are supposed to keep an
eye open for smugglers and to frown
severely upon any shooting into
American territory
Were it not that mounted Mex
lean patrol from Ciudad Juarez takes
notion to ride up the river bank
opposite occasionally, straight sold
iering'' would be the order of the
day.
Nobody in NJ troop knows why the
Mexican patrol patrols any more than
any civilian in Ell Paso knows why
the Mexican guard on the Internal
ional bridge steps out of the custom
house when one crosses into Juarez,
suspiciously, mumbles ..Bueno,'
whether one is bueno or otherwise,
and then goes back into the custom
house. Nevertheless, when detach-
ment of Villas picturesque cavalry
comes into sight around the bend of
the river mounted patrol of NJ troop
politely parallels the course of the
Mexicans up the river until X troops
| men pick it up. When the Mexican
patrol comes back down the river
| again, NJ troops boys solemnly escort
| it back to the starting point. Both
| factions eye each ether warily across
| the forty CT fifty feet of incredibly
muddy water, and say nothing.
troop, however. knows why it
patrols. There is Mexican settle
ment on the Ell Paso side OF the riv-
er about mile above VI troops
camp. and one day when the Next
can patrol was opposite this settle
ment youthful Huertista cracked
across at the troopers with .22-cal-
iber rifle, nicking one of the Villa
crowd in the arm and irritating him
more or less
/ Of course prompt demand was i'm
mediately made upon the captain of
VI troop that this social friyolity be
suppressed, in consequence of which
| the Mexican patrol now enjoys an es-
cort Of VI troop TO protect it durin g
its daily peregrinations, notwith-
standing the fact that the small boy
who started the disturbance and thus
earned NJ troop job has been appre-
hended and spanked by a trooper.
1t is really remarkable to contem-
plate the narrow margin by which in
iternational complications have been
averted
There is a lot more courtesy be-
tween nations than many of the
home folks realize.
Along the entire length OF the Dor
der there was very little swapping
of lead INDUCED in during the win

have been fired on and have return

Her face was one happy light. Half an

Miss Mcclure was not present at the

RICH TIMBER LAND AT ISSUE.
Federal Suit on Calendar at Chicago

CHICAGO, August 6-The govern
ment suit to recover 125,00o acres of
valuable Arkansas timber land listed
in the original survey as lakes was on
today's calendar in the federal court
here. The land is valued at $9.0o0.000.
and Is held by several lumber COM
panies. The suit also seeks to recover
100000 for timber taken from tho
land.
Prof. Henry c. Cowles. ecologist Of
the University of Chicago. will be the
governments chief witness. The gov
ernment's contention is that in 1912 an
earthquake, known as the New Madrid
earthquake. inundated parts of Arkan-
sas which had been included in the
Louisiana purchase. When the gov
ernment survey was undertaken this
land was still under water. and was
listed as lakes.
Prof. Cowles will testify that the
lakes were only temporary. Some of
the trees now on the land were bloom

THE CORAL FRoCK.
(oopyrisht, 1914. by ". werner.)

It was the usual Friday morning at the
Farmers Trust and Loan. Annie Mitchell
was aware Of that the instant she sat
down before her typewriter. She had
hurried down town though a chilling.
dreary March rain. which dampened her
garments and her spirits as well. And
now as she arranged her tools for the
days struggle with business she had to
arrange her countenance also, for cheer

which the president of the Farmers
Trust and Loan demanded in his en-

Oil as NAVY Fuel.

There are many who see in the re-
cent determination of the Navy De-
partment to detach number Of bat
tleships from the Atlantic fleet for
service in the waters of the Pacific a
question of fuel rather than one Of Japa-
nese menace. The United States Navy
Is coming more and more to depend
upon oil as fuel for its battleships.
DWellers upon the Pacific coast have had
little opportunity to enjoy their ma
tion's fleet. This may be the reason for
the projected detachment, but it Is note
worthy that oil upon the Pacific side
costs only 50 cents a barrel. whereas on
the Atlantic seaboard it costs $1.39
sixty vessels in the navy, six of
which are dreadnoughts. are now burn
ing oil under their boilers. The easily
manageable clean fuel has found such
favor with navy officials that 1t is esti-
mated that 100000 gallons will be
required for the service during the next
fiscal year. The use of oil as fuel con-
serves space. makes a most efficient bal
last and greatly enlarges the steaming
radius OF the ships. Furthermore, it
dispels the old horrors of fueling, that
chastity. choking dirty work when coal
Is used.
The use of oil as fuel by the United
States war vessels has not only its sew
eral mechanical advantages to recon-
mend It. but. also, economic and strate-
gfc advantages. This country produces
nearly 40 per cent of the worlds fuel
oil supply, and its oil fields are dis
trlbuted on both its Atlantic and Pa
cific seaboards. Thus, supply is assured,
a wartime advantage above any other
naval power.

Fog Signals by Wireless.

The English are employing Hertzian
waves from stations along their coasts
to fire signal guns. which are used dur
ing fogs to warn passing ships of dangers
to navigation. These guns are started
and stopped by wireless control. When
started by the Hertzian wave, they con-
tinue to fire at intervals of about twenty
seconds until stopped, or until the sup
ply Of acetylene gas operating them Is
exhausted.
The wireless control is used in order to
dispense with the personal attendance at
each Of these guns of coast guards.
Under the present arrangement. 1t is
only necessary for attendants to visit
charges of acetylene gas. Enough gas is
stored in tanks near each gun to operate
1t for two or three weeks.
This control of fog guns by wireless
suggests an entertaining thought. Why
not control the batteries of the dread
nought and the field pieces of the army
by wireless? Under such an arrange
ment it would no longer be necessary to
have the weapons personally attended,
which would effect an even greater saw
ing of the feelings Of the personnel than
Is accomplished for the coast guards of
England.
Much would be added to the modern
enthusiasm for war II the opposing artil-
lerists might fraternize with one another
while shooting UP each others batteries
from the safe seclusion Of wireless sta
tions 1t would be but a short step fur
ther to relieve the rife Of the private
from personal attendance. This would
save the private much useless energy
and bloodshed without In any way de-
tracing from the romantic rumble and
thunder of warfare.
