THEY COT away
Band of Mexicans in Fight With
e. s. Border Patrol.
Bandits Attack Detachment of
the Fourth Infantry.

Brownsville, Tex, Oct 25.-Spread
out fan-wise, virtually the entire
strength of the United States border
patrol in this district spent last night
beating the brush around Brownsville,
in an effort to capture Mexican ban
dts who attacked a detachment of the
Fourth United States infantry at the
spot north of Brownsville where a
train was wrecked and three Ameri-
cans killed just a week ago today.
In the fighting last night Private
Herman z. Moore, of French Lick
Springs, Ind, was fatally wounded. So
far as known none of the Mexicans
was hit
The scene of the fighting and the
tactics employed by the Mexicans led
army officers today to assert that the
Mexicans engaged probably were
members of the same band guilty of
to have been led by Luis De Larosa
fomenter of the so-called Texas revo-
luton.
Sergeant Arthur Estridge of the
Fourth infantry reported to Fort
Brown that five Mexicans were seen
to cross the railroad tracks near
where the infantry was stationed.
moment later both sides opened
fire, and then the real strength of the
Mexicans appeared. Probably sixteen
of them engaged in the fighting and It
is believed they had planned to sur
round the small American detachment
and annihilate them. Surprised in
their maneuvers, the Mexicans fought
for about five minutes and then made
off just in time to escape two COM
panies of infantry and two troops OF
cavalry, which were rushed to the
scene from Fort Brown in comman-
deered automobiles.

WICHITA IS DREAMING
Kansas Town Now Claims She Is En-
titled to Capitol.

Windy Wichita is dreaming. Her
dreams include the location of the
state house on an island in the Ar
kansas river and near the baseball
park. Almost convinced that she be-
1ieveS her dream could come true her
boosters now plan to urge Congress
man Ayres to offer a resolution for
the removal of the national capitol
to Wichita. Wall street and the Chi
cago board of trade may also be re-
moved to Wichita before the town
stops dreaming.
Wichita is centrally located. 1t paws
q lot of taxes. 1t has some paved
streets 1t has several four, five and
six-story buildings. So why shouldn't
the state and national capitol be To-
Gated in Wichita? 1t is Just as
plausible as the war game in Europe.
Therefore d bunch of Wichita pa
triots printed some cards and hung
them in Smiths grocery store.
Browns clothing emporium and the
Bon Ton livery stable. Now the town
almost believes that it can see the
dome of the state and national cap
itolS and can rub shoulders with the
men of finance in the new established
stock and market center

Berlin, Oct. 25.-Dr. c. T. Dumba,
former Austro- Hungarian ambassador
at Washington, who arrived here yes

gave out the following interview:
"AS to the causes which neceSsitated
my return to Vienna, l need not go
into details The case has been treat
ed so fully in the press that it is un-
necessary to review it.
But if you ask me if the tales are
true, which were spread about my
trip, which reached a climax in the
report that people on board the
steamer avoided me. 1 can only reply
that the opposite is true. My wife and
/ felt ourselves under the necessity of
conduct ourselves with reserve to-
ward our fellow travellers. 1t was they
who approached us.
Il can only say that not only the
Americans but also the British marine
officers on board were most friendly
to us in every respect During our
landing and stay 1T Falmouth we were
treated with every courtesy by British
officers"

URGES PREPAREDNESS
Noted New York Jurist SCOTS at
Plans Of P~aci1cists in
Country

Seattle, WASH, Sept. S.-Henry D.
Estabrook, a New York attorney, de-
clared in an address before the Ameri-
can Bankers Association here today
that it would be better for the United
States to scrap every gun and warship
it now owned than to attempt to re-
sist invasion by a nation prepared
for war. t<'S
mo nation threatens us IN so many
words" said Mr.. E%stabrook, "but who
is c5livious to hints and limitations
that speak louder than words? We
boasS our strength to repel attack
when we know we are weaker than
dis:nwater. While every other nation
has been preparing for aggression we
have not even prepared for self-de-
Tense.
81 would heartily advocate MI.
Bryan's policy Of non-resistance rath-
er than see every gun and warship
we own scrapped if we are not to
add to them. For II we were without
strength to repel Invasion we could
al lease claim the privilege Of the
weak and surrender without loss Of
life. Whereas, to fight inadequately
armed and certain of losing would be
nothing short CT murder, for which
every taxpayer in the United States
would be measurely responsible.
"'ro say that we r too big or too
proud to fight in ;se!f-defense is alb
surd. To say that a mob of a million
or so unframed ~citizenry would leap
to arms and put to flight the bullet
tested soldiery of Asia or Europe is
perverse stupidity"
Mr.. Estabrook strongly advocated
placing the militia directly under
control Of the regular army, and at
the same time providing adequate mil
itary training in all schools.
The speaker said W~ashinyton's con-
that a free neople should be
armed and disciplined according to
some well-adjusted plan was more true
today than eTer before. Mr.. Esta5rook
held that the essential factor in de-
Tense for the United States was a big
navy. He said it should at least be
as large as any other nation in the
world; should include all the latest

Society of Apothecaries IN connection
with the widening of streets near the
famous Blackfriars Bridge, is a re-
mainder of the long feud between the
London apothecaries and physicians.
Some years ago, the physicians, jeal-
Gus of the ann in which the apo
thecaries were usurping their func-
tons by prescribing for the poor, met
and decided that members of the Col
,lege Of Physicians would give advice
gratis to the sick poor in the city and
for seven miles around" The apothe-
carries countered by charging exhorbi-
tant prices for the drugs prescribed
by their rivals, with the result that
the physicians established free dis
%pensaries.
The apothecaries then made friends
with certain prominent doctors and
succeeded in dividing the profession

Mr.. Estabrook said "a standing army
Of 100000, which would be a "skele-
ton thaG could quickly take on flesh
from the militia" should be sufficient
in conjunction VITA a big navy. He
declared a large standing army was
frequently a menace to a nation, but
that this was not the case with a large

He urged that the Seamen's Act
should be repealed; that officials and
politicians should brave disapproval

TO MAKE CHANGES
IN SCHOOL SYSTEM
German Professors in Trenches
Learn Many Valuable
Lessons

Berlin, Sept. S.-Not the, least i'm
portant among the probable effects OF
the war are the changes that it may
cause in the educational system of
Germany. The hard life in the
trenches, now shared by thousands
OF German teachers, is evidently
bringing them to the conclusion tina:
the whole educational system must
be overhauled and recast in the di-
rection Of emphasizing modern neces-
sites. "
Such a teacher is DR.. Herren, direc.
tor of the gymnasium in Bueckeburg.
In the trenches before Rheims, where
he has been fighting for months, he
has been talking with otter teachers
and with officers and men who have
passed through the usual gymnasium
course of training, and, with their co.
operation, he has drawn up a scheme
for the reform of the secondary
schools. He sent his proposals to the
leading school official Of the Province
of Hanover, who had them published
as a Sign of the times and as sug-
gestions for what should he done after
peace is proclaimed"
The chief idea running Through DR..
Herren's scheme is that education
cnust be made more practical and
modern; old Studies that are chiefly
valuable as mental discipline must be
discarded OF made optional; and boys
must he trained NOR for the duties
Of present-day citizenship. Physical
exercise and sports for the develop
ment Of health and strength must be
more freely cultivated. Manual train
ing must be made obligatory in all
the classes Of the gymnasium; a work
shop mnst be added to every school,
and the boys must learn to know the
qualities of all kinds of material, must
learn to repair apparatus and ma
chimes, must work in metal and wood.
Coming down to the curriculum, Dr..
Herren proposed to make latin only
an optional study after the boys pass
into the three upper classes; ant
Greek and Hebrew are to be relegated
to the universities altogether. He
would make history of prime impor-
lance in the course Of study and would
use it as a basis for teaching many
other things giving special attention
to the leading features in the develop
ment CT civilization and to, the growth
and development of the German peo-
pie, and inspiring the young men witt
a sound ~hero-worship. To this emu
he would give rather scant attention
to ancient and medieval history, in or
der to lay all the greater emphasis UP
on modern history, Thorough instruc-
ton in the political system OF. modern
states, in the theories of the state, in
constitutional history, is insisted up
on. Geography must be much more
thoroughly taught, especially com
mercial and political geography.
"About every country the question
must be asked: What interests have
we there?" .e.:''A'
After practically brushing aside the
ancient languages, DR.. Herren treats
the. leading modern languages with
scarcely less generosity. French, lin
view Of its diminished importance"
is made optional, and English will
probably have to he treated simil-
arly."
