WANT FRENCH LANGUAGE.

French Canadians in the provinces
of Quebec and Ontario are conducting
a vigorous campaign for the mainte-
nance of the French language in their
schools. Speaking at a meeting in
Laval University on January 25, Hon.
Thomas Chapais declared that the reg
ulations of which the French-C Canadi-
ans were complaining were at once a
violation of natural right and historical
right, and he declared that the attitude
of the Government Of Ontario on the
school question was retarding the sin.

WILLING
TO MEET
VILLISTAS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. z.
Gen. Carranza Is willing to
treat with Villa. This announce
ment came today, following a
meeting of the United States and
six leading South American coun-
tries to consider how to bring
about peace in Mexico.
These countries practically de-
cided that all the Mexican lead
ers must get together for peace,
or Intervention would be neces-
sary.
The state department was mott.
fled of the determination of Car
rama, which is reversal of his
stand to date, through Judge c.
A. Douglas, his Washington rep.
resentative.
Secretary Lansing said he had
not yet laid the position of Car.
rama before the Pan-Americar
peace conference. But he regards
it as the first real step towart
peace in Mexico.

RUSSIANS LOSE
CRODN0 KOVNO

LONDON, Aug. with the
capture of Grodno Kovno early
today. the Germans succeeded in
endangering the new position to
which the Russians are retiring
from Warsaw.
This new line, which had been
prepared in advance, extended
from Kovno and Grodno on the
north through Brest-Litovsk and
southwark. With the capture OF
Grodno, the whole line may be
turned by the on-marching Teu-
tons. Thus the Slavs face a new
and serious problem even il their
armies succeed in extricatine
themselves from the German wise
which drove them from Warsaw
This retreat has been seriously
jeopardized by rains which have
swollen the marshes to the Rus
sian rear, and softened the roads
SO that their retreat is slowed
down.
Grand Duke Nicholas has left
a strong garrison at the fortress
Novogeorgievsk, northwest OF
Warsaw, with orders that it be
held until the last while the main
army escapes.

LIST OF
CRIMES
IS LONG

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 7. - A
Black Hand gang that operates
with sawed-off shotgun. stilleto
and dynamite bomb today holds
the Italian colony here in terror.
Eighteen of the gangsters are
known to the police. Seven have
been arrested. All came to Kan
sas City without so much as the
price of peanut stand. Now they
own real estate and other yalu-
able property.
Long Series of Crimes.
The BLACK Hand" first laid its
bloody grip on Little Italy" when
Mrs. Pauline Piano and Vincento
Iasalde were murdered. The STAY
er escaped.
A month later Joseph Raimo,
the Italian policeman investigat-
ing the double murder, was shot
from ambush. His murderer is
still at large.
Several months later Salvatore
Trepani was shot on his own
doorstep. The murderer was new
er found.
Then Baldsero BENEFIT and his
brother, Giovanni, were attack
ed; the former was killed, the lat
ter seriously wounded. No clue to
the murderer could be found.
The next victim was Nicola vi
caro-, who was shot from ambush.
In January the present crime
wave began with the murder Of
Charles Poleto, followed quickly
by the murder of Luseiano Mus
SO, said to be a Black Hand
leader.
Many Suspects.
The zip of the stumpy gun was
heard often in the Italian quar-
ter after the Musso murder. Gio--
vanni Mulato, well-to-do shop
keeper, was buried a month after
the Musso murder. 1t was soon
after that the dynamite bomb was
added to the BLACK Hand" ar
senal.
An attempt was made to blow
up an Italian bank, but a woman,
Mrs. Grace Arnold, spoiled that
plan by carrying the bomb, at the
risk of her own life, into a va
cant lot, where 1t could do no
harm.
Then the police got busy IN
Little Italy" They arrested
seven BLACK Hand" suspects and
they have at least 10 more under
surveillance.
Signed "BIack Hand"
The murders and the explo-
sions in Little Italy" were invar-
iably preceded by threatening let
tiers. Letters written in Italian
and decorated with blood-dripping
stilletos or hearts carved in
halves. la Mana Nera"-"Black
Hand was always the signature.
When cash could not be collect
ed on demand arrangements we're
made In business-like manner to
collect It IN monthly installments.
IL was when collections were
SLOW this summer that the
BLACK Hand" became reckless
and resorted to bombs and sawed
off guns to enforce payment. A
few days ago Little Italy" was
shaken by bomb explosion, the
grocer whose shop was blown to
bits. promptly agreed TO nav mis-
arrears to the BLACK Hand a
matter OF several hundred dollars.
He's still living, but he's mighty
timid about opening mail.

A PROPRIETARY DEBAUCH

Come, fill up the goblets, dull care
we'll assault
With swigs of Veruna and Guffy's
Pure Malt,
With Syrup Of Jigs and with Cardui
2 too,
Wen add to the length and the
strength of our stew;
There's Souse Root, Kane's Celery
compound, and such,
Some half alcoholic and some not SO
much;
There's Pain Killers, extracts, and
Bitters galore
Which we can obtain at the grocery
store
To doctor what sickness we have in
the house
And give us a large and durable
souse!
And when we complete this medicin-
al spree,
And, shaky, remorseful, awake from
our glee
With tongue that is furred and a
throat that is dry
And headache SO racking we're
longing to die,
Why, Lemonine, Chrome or waters of
Slac
Will bring all our comfort and cheer
fitness back.
It's true it will slow up the heart in
it's pace,
They take away pain-and leave dope
in it's place
And slowly but surely in quiet and
stealth
They build up hapit and tear down
the health;
But-why should we worry when once
we break down,
There's plenty more patents for sale
in the town;
There's plenty of patents to give us
new hope,
BY virtue of alcohol, morphine and
dope;
And when we have taken our dose as
we're told
Wen write testimonials meant to be
sold
To spread forth the tale of our cure
far and wide,
When we of our ailments have quietly
died.-Berton Braley in Puck.

THURSDAY, February II, 1915.
MAKE THIS A CLEAN TOWN.


1t is necessary for harmony and
cooperation to exist to make sue
cess in the affairs of life. Look at
the great business interests Of this
country. When the management of
concerns works in full accord the
business prospers, and when dissen-
ton arises and fight occurs among
the owners it is not long until failure
comes. The same way in all things.
The time will come when we will
have to select, and elect, men to gov
ern the affairs of our city. We should
select and elect men who are fully
able and competent and will take the
time to give us a good administra-
zion. We must do what is best for
the town In the past the most that
has been advocated before the cleo
tons is the question as to whether
the stock should run at large. If it
is for the best interests of the town
for stock to run at will on our streets
and sidewalks, let us have it. If a
few head be good for the town, more
would be better. If to litter up our
sidewalks and streets is good, the
more of this the better. If it is best
for the stock to have the right of way
over women and children on our side
walks and streets, give 'em the high
ball! But on the other hand, if it is
better to have nice clean streets, good
sidewalks, clean alleys, clean out
buildings, fine, nice lawns, well kept
property, let us work to this end.
You cannot deceive the outside world
They know by the look of your town
what your people are like. If any of
us should change our location, and
should go to town where the streets
were dirty, sidewalks broken and full
of holes, stock running on the streets,
every thing looking broken and I'M
kempt, would we locate there? 1t
does not seem natural that we would.
But suppose we find a town with nice
clean pavements, fine walks, the stock
herded, fine flowers in the lawns, nice
shade trees unbroken along the walks,
clean alleys, nice stores, well regu-
lated town generally. Which of the
two towns would you rather locate
in?
Let us select our best Nmen, and
they surely will work out al these
problems to our entire satisfaction.
Weimust lay aside few pet ideas, if
it IS For tas general good Of the
town let US al boost. Tt is no time
now for knocking.
