Gutierrez specially of running houses bridges
and railroads earned for him the title of THE
Destroyer" He never displayed any such mill
tary ability as villa: but destruction is popular
with the Mexican soldiery, it must be remembered.
Gutierrez plundered and robbed with slight
heed to what Carranza and Villa were doing. He
seized property of Americans and put it to his
own purposes, while Carranza ignored protests.

Last July he sent a demand to Carr ordering
him to resume all the Mazipul industries at once.
It must be remembered that the British company
had been closed down for months. There was no

no financial basis Yet the order from the ex-

for this Gutierrez seized 100000 worth of ore
owned by the company and sought to sell it as
contraband, in which he probably succeeded.
Carranza has degenerated into the head of a
band of looters. The scenes accompanying his
evacuation of Mexico City, 1t is learned, were
disgraceful. The national treasury was robbed
of all except about 100000 pesos, which must
have been overlooked. Every ounce of gold and
silver in the mint was taken. Also there went

Botanical Curiosity.

Since 1898. when Prof. John Muir
head Macfarlane. now director of the
botanical garden at the University of
Pennsylvania, found that the leaves of
the plant known as the Venus fly trap
will close up only If the trigger hairs
are disturbed twice in succession. very
little has been learned about the phys
iology of this curious insectcatching
plant During the past year. however,
some new experiments have been

with the behavior of animals in GER
tain respects. The leaves are sensi-
tive to mechanical disturbances, to
electrical stimulation and to the sud

ter. At ordinary temperatures it takes
two stimulations to get up the re-
sponse; but at higher temperatures

WHY THERE rs WAR
BY Bonner Bartlett

Edmonds, Wn., 9-16-15.
Northwest Worker.
Dear Comrades.-There has been so
much said about Socialism not being
able to prevent wars that l thought
would write few lines on this sub
ject.
1t is pointed out by many that the
European Socialists did not prevent
war and that Socialism is no cure for
wars.
Socialism was not in power in Eu-
rope; if it had been there would have
been no army or navy and without
these there couldn't be any wars. To
be sure there were a good many So
cialists in Europe, but there were not
enough of them to turn the powerful
tide of militarism and so it carried
everything with it.
AS some always resisted a military
program, they resisted it to the ut
most, but were carried on in the
whirlpool in spite of this. AS some
were used to protesting they merely
protested. AS some were used to
compromising, they compromised
The fact is there is more power of
resistance in some people than there
is in others. Thus Liebknecht and
Rosa Luxembourg resisted to the ut
most the hand of militarism. While
others of more servile state of mind
merely protested or fell in line.
Many say the International failed
OF course it did. You cannot have a
peace program for capitalist govern
ments They want peace only as long
as they are benefitting by it. AS long
as there are capitalist governments
you cannot successfully prevent wars.
The public mind in Europe was edu-
Gated to believe in nationalism and of
course all of them were fighting in
self-defense. That's what all the wars
of the future will "self-defense."
Right now the press of this country is
trying to educate the people into mill
tary preparedness" so that they will
fight in defensive wars"
Yours for Socialism,
