An Unfounded Hope.

The first report as to the findings
of Duval West. the latest of the pres
idents personal investigators i'm Mex
leo, caused a hope to blossom that at
last the administration was about to
adopt some policy to settle the Mex
| lean mess. But ii withered under
the prompt announcement from the
White House that nothing in the re-
port would cause a change of policy
Unless the report is made public. at
least in condensed form. the suspic-
ion will finger that the first intima-
ton as to its contents was correct.
At least everybody else who has had
opportunity to study Mexican condi-
tons during the last five years has
found the facts to be as Mr.. West
was said to have reported them.
with the exception of DR.. Hale and
Mr. Lind. The statements of the
latter. made at he time of the Vera
Cruz excitement have been so COM
pletely discredited by developments
that their conclusions are without in
terest.
There is overwhelming agreement
of well-informed opinion that Mex
leo is in state of anarchy, that the
lives and property of Americans en-
joy no safety, thdt the Mexicans
themselves have suffered almost
every outrage conceivable at the
hands of irresponsible bandit revolu-
tionists. that the United States is
held in contempt, that the purposes
of our president are misunderstood
by the best of Mexicans, that our at
titude has contributed much to the
sorry plight and that nothing is be-
ing done to ameliorate conditions.
While the overshadowing war has OBJ
scured Mexican affairs, the time will
come when they will again demand
attention. Our policy of "watchful
meddling," as Casper Whitney calls
it proves it by a series of interesting
articles in the Outlook, is without
parallel in American history. The

have left undone nearly everything
that should be done and have done
with a single exception, nearly every
thing that ought not to have been

60-inch and even s0-inch guns, which
will be able to shoot sixty or eighty
miles, the range being given by avia-
tors signaling by wireless.
Again. plans are already under
way for the construction of monster
submarines with cruising radius
from London to New York. They
will be able to carry batteries of tor
pedoes and ample fuel and provisions
for the long cruise. They will thus
gain some of the independence of
land possessed by dreadnaughts. for
even they must visit coaling stations
or be attended by colliers. The next
half century, indeed, may see battle
ships swept from the seas, and some
nation holding the mastery of ocean
by virtue of fleet of submarines.

Germans were aiming. II killed
twenty soldiers and one woman.
Vacuum Sucks Up People.
Wherever a shell struck 1t made
tremendous hole, and all fell within
an area of a square mile. The vacuam
caused by the explosion of the shell
was so strong that 1t literally sucked
up those in the vicinity and threw
them to the ground.
1.-TWO shells struck house next to
the military hospital, completely de-
molishing it. The conclusion caused
by the explosions was so great that
forty seriously wounded soldiers in
the hospital were killed.
Another shell hit the railroad sta
ton and killed three men. One
struck the Casino. killed several. l
afterward went into this building.
The effect of the explosion had been
so tremendous that the bone of one
victim had been driven into the
woodwork.
zone shell chugged into the bay
and a second later the waters of the
harbor seemed to heave upward in
solid body. All the torpedo craft
lying there Immediately put to sea
at full speed.
German Taube Gave Range.
1.-THE second day only eight shells
were fired. Throughout the lombard
ment a German Taube aeroplane cir
cled above the city signaling to the
distant gunners. The French gunners
trained their anti-aircraft guns and
rifles at the aviator. but failed to
drive him Off.
THE result of the BON brdment
from a military view was entirely sat
isfactory. Dunkirk has been render
ed untenable as a base All the SOL
diers have evacuated the barracks
and the wounded also have been re-
moved.
THE gun was? stationed twenty
eight miles away, just beyond Dix
nude. 1t was apparently fired from
concrete base, which, according to
military men, had not thoroughly
set. The charge used to hurl the
projectile over this tremendous dis
lance was some form of highly ex-
plosive gas"
Mr.. Borden who returned with
Brady, says:
1.-THE most surprising thing about
the battlefields in France is the rapid
manner in which all battle scars
are removed as soon as an action is
over. Soldiers and civilians alike
are set to work Immediately after a

debris and remove all trace"

Bilious Attacks.

When you have bilious attack
your liver fails to perform it's func-
tions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom-
ach instead of digesting. This in
flames the stomach and causes nau-
sea, vomiting and a terrible head
ache. Take Chamberlain's Tablets.
They will tone up your liver. clean
out your stomach and you will soon
be as well as ever They only cost
a quarter. Obtainable everywhere.

DOESN'T HURT
TO Be SHOT
Men May Be Wourded Many
Times And Be Unconscious
of Pain.

The soldier of today may be liter
ally riddled with bullet wounds; and
yet he may be sound man, fighting
his country's battles again, within a
few weeks.
Strange as 1t may seem. the mod
ern small-caliber bullet, which leaves
the rifle with velocity of a mile in
two seconds, with pressure be-
hind it of 10000 pounds per square
inch. and has a range of three miles
or more. is far less deadly than the
old-time bullet which could be laugh
ed at if 1t came from a distance of
over a quarter of mile.
Indeed a man may be wounded
again and again. and yet may fight
for hours, scarcely conscious that
he has been hit. Thus a doctor who
accompanied the French forces in
Abyssinia says:
Several of the suite of Menelik
told me that when bullet has gone
right through them their men lost
none of their dash. If the bullet
did not kill at once-and nine times
out OF ten it did not-they did not
even konw they were wounded.
painless death or almost GER
tain painless recovery from the
wounds" says another doctor. who
was in the present war. lis the al
Tentative fate of the soldier stricken
DOWN by the modern small caliber
bullet. If he is not killed outright
his wounds almost invariably heal.
OF nearly 1.4OO wounded men who
passed under my hands, only three
died of their wounds
And no less remarkable than its
humanity are the antics played by
the modern bullet. as has been il
Illustrated hundreds of times in the
present war. Thus we read of one
bullet which, after striking the
ground entered soldiers left cheek.
Passing downward and inward it
caused a compound fracture of the
hard palate. 1t then entered the
mouth. was stopped by the lower
teeth of the opposite side, and was
taken out of the mouth by the man
himself.
In another case the bullet entered
the forehead of a man when stOop-
ing, passed through his brain and
Re-entering a few inches further
down. it emerged finally at his right
shoulder blade.And yet. in spite of
these terrible wounds the man was
fighting again within six weeks.
An equally singular case was that
of a French Sergeant who. while
firing at the enemy in recumbent
position was struck by bullet which
ploughed its way through his Shout
der and the lower part of his body
re-entered at the calf, and finally |
came to rest in the heel of his boot, |
from which it was recovered.
In other words, his body was per-
forated four times by the same bullet
with so little damage that five weeks
later the man won the Medaille d,
Honneur.-Answers.

Our National Wealth.

II $4,000 were placed on every mile
of the distance from here to the sun
it would just represent the wealth
of the United States. That is easier
to understand than One Hundred and
Eighty-seven Billions with Seven
Hundred and Thirty-nine Millions
thrown in for good measure.
This making an average of nearly
$4,000 for every man. woman and
child in the Country, although only
about s35 of that is in cash. The
rest consists of the Accommodations of
past years and almost all OF it in the
memory of living men. 1t reads
like a fairy story. Even Aiaddin's
lamp never accomplished anything so
marvellous. Sixty-five years ago
the national wealth was only ST.
900, 100000, or about one twenty
sixth part of what II is now Only
a little more than Is per cent of our
present wealth is given as real estate,
the rest is what our people have
made out of good old mother earth.
What astonishes us most is that
illinois is placed a little ahead of
Pennsylvania in the matter of wealth.
1t is true that the difference is only
a paltry sum of $4,000. 900. which.
