CIVIC LEAGUE RESUMES WORK.

An important news item Of the day is
that reporting the resumption Of work by
the Brownsville Ladies' Civic league. This
organization has already done much for
the Identification and sanitation of our
little city, and much more is promised on
its behalf. II j. understood that each of
the other women's organizations Of
Brownsville will have n committee whose
duties shall be 10 cooperate with the Civic
league in all work for the Improvement of
the city. BY this means, all of those ladies
who cherish a desire to see the town
achieve the highest standing in all respects
affecting civic improvement will be brought
into close relation and work tremendously
to the same end. The Herald trusts that
this season may afford these enterprising
and public spirited ladies every opportun-
ity to benefit the town. The citizens in
general naturally are in the heartiest ac-
cord with any movement looking towards
league will have the cordial support Of all
in any work ii may decide to undertake.
This year the leagne has promised to do
something of a substantial nature for the
improvement and Identification of Wash
ington Park. In view of the fact that
Brownsville has not even the faintest sem
blance Of a public park, beyond this hither-
to neglected site, donated in the earliest
beginning of the tow for a pleasure
ground for its people, it i sincerely TO be
hoped that this season may witness the
~fruition of the long talked, ever hoped for
plans for the development of at least one
real park in the city. That such il the
aim of the Civic league j. assured, and
such being the ease, success may be re-
garded as certain. For whatever the ladies
undertake they can not fail to accomplish.

PEOPLE BUYING HOMES.

(By w. c. HOUCHINS, West Virginia
Real Estate Dealer)
Being a real estate man, / am in a
position to know whether or not the
sale of whisky affects the growth of
the business of the city. Prior to our
campaign of 1912, the whisky inter.
ests claimed that our storerooms
would be vacant, that hundreds OF our
dwelling houses would be tenantless,
and that real estate in general would
suffer great depreciation. On the con.
trary, | find that the storerooms and
dwelling houses are now all occupied,
and that there are hundreds OF appli
cants for houses whose wants cannot
be supplied at the present time. /
wish to state that during this period
of depression in business / am selling
homes to men whom | have known for
a number Of years, and who are not
making as much money as they were
two or three years ago. These men
are not investing in homes money
which was saved by them when times
were better. but are making small
cash payments, and seem willing to
assume the obligation of large month.

PLANT OR ANiAEAL2

The distinctions between plant and
animal organisms are supposed to be
clearly defined and easily recognise

leading characteristics Of both. It is
known as yo1ox Elobhtor- Some

dftfon which sounds truly Impossible.
The strange little being lives in
fresh water, assembled IN g1obe-like
clusters or colonies. Each individu-

fagella which enable the colony
composed of several thousand to
move as one body.

a Relnted MILITARY program.

The secretaries of war and the navy
with their advisers are working on a
Debated military program which 1T Is
estimated in some quarters, may call
for appropriations amounting to $500 :
O0O. 1000. The gravity of the German
situation, the increase of anarchy in
Mexico and the general criticism Of
the nations lack of military prepared
mess have combined to inspire the ad.
administration with realization that
something should be done. and now,
at the eleventh hour. Mr.. Wilson is
preparing to recommend a somewhat
comprehensive program to Congress.
There Is every reason to fear, how
ever, that II Congress heeds this pro-
p6sal great sums will be wasted. When
President Wilson, by the exertion Of
lids personal influence with Congress,
defeated the Gardner resolution call

military needs of the nation, he de-

Ene,and Checkmates Wilson.

EnRland's course in advising this
government that another note regard
Ing the now famous order IN council
IS being prepared and In requesting
that the communication recently re-
ceived be withheld from publication
until the supplementary note IS re-
ceived is an occasion OF considerable
embarrassment to President Wilson
Mr.. Wilson purposed to follow the
last note to Germany with one OF
equal vigor to England believing he
could thus dtspel the impression that
he was in any degree partisan In his
insistence that Americans be free TO
sail the high seas on the ships Of bel
lfe.erents as well as on those of Amer
Jean registry, and on ships carrying
scontraband cargoes as we'll as those
carrying none.
The note to England had already
been drafted when the announcement
OF supplementary communication
came from that country and necessi-
+atAd at least a temporary suspension
of the note this country had under
preparation.
There is much speculation, but no
knowledge, regarding the views which
england purposes to set forth in this
supplement. There Is some reason for
believing. however, that the British
government may be preparing to aban-
don the long-range blockade and to
substitute for 1t a material increase
IN the procfaimed contraband OF war,
ducluding cotton.
The British ambassador has been
try and has advised his government
that the United States has established
a precedent for making cotton contra
hand.
