I'm THE CITY OF
THE LIVING DEATH
VIVID PICTURE OF THE SILENT,
HEART-RENDING MISERY OF
THE MEXICAN CAPITAL.
THE SAVAGE CRUELTY OF MAN
Has Laid Once Beautiful City in the
Dust. Everybody Is Hungry, and
Births and Deaths Are Common
Occurrence in Bread Line.


Births and Deaths Are Common
Occurrence in Bread Line.
A city of beautiful buildings, OF
wide and shining streets cleaning
white in. the sun, and deadly quiet
hanging over ala calm which is
uncanny, which makes you want to
hold your breath, and fills you with
a nameless sense of longing while
half forgotten memories steal over
you, memories OF days long ago when
this city was one of the gayest and
richest in the world.
You wonder why this deathly
breathlessness today. Listen to a
tale of truth almost incredible be-
cause of it's cruelty. Listen to tale
of goth century barbarity you will
not want to believe, writes Anonyma
in the Chicago Tribune.
You waken to a beautiful day; one
of those days created for this part of
the world alone, a day of glorious
sunshine with a touch of GOODNESS
which makes the warmth spicy, a
day which makes you glad you are
alive; but you wonder why the IN
earthly stiffness. Why is Mexico
City so quiet? There are no street
cars, no automobiles, only few wag-
ons, passing now and then. What has
happened in the wonderful old city
of a hundred kings, of a civilization
as ancient as the AZtecs? On this
typical Mexico City morning what has
happened to make the very air still?
And then you remember. And
anew the spirit of desolatiOn settles
down ca your heart and brings pain
with it. For Mexico City, beautiful
city of palaces, as her citizens fondly
speak of her, has been stricken, has
had sentence of living death pro-
nounced upon her for an unknown
crime. Her people are condemned to
starvation; she is cut off from the
outside world and the home of Mex
icos wealth, talent and education is
silent under the condemnation of her
unworthy sons.
Everybody Hungry.
You arise; it is too beautiful day
to stay indoors. You wander into the
street. The Zapatistas have left dur
ing the night and the Constitutional
lists have not arrived. Still there is
no disorder; the people are waiting
uncomplainingly for the next trial
the men who call themselves patriots,
who are saving Mexico from nobody
knows what or cares to know now;
everybory is too hungry!
You go into a little restaurant
(Which has stayed open) to get some
thing to eat; hungry dog slips I'M
der the table to catch any scrap you
may drop; starving women with wan
looking babies in their arms stand
outside and mutely beg for 'cual-
quier cosa" (anything). Do you eat?
Yes, you do; with a SILVER of dread
that soon your turn may come and
that you must eat while you can.
Wandering forth again you walk
rather quickly so as not to see too
many starving people. At the corner
of one of the principal streets there
is a corn line; the International Re-
lief Committee is giving out food
Among the men distributing the corn
are some of Mexico's most prominent
residence You stop for a chat; you
hear with what difficulty the corn

important than was expected by
most of the prognosticators of a
decade ago.
From the eastern seaboard of the
United States was sent a tonnage
destined to the Far East, which was
almost exactly half of that sent to
our Pacific Coast States. This, again,
suggests that the Far East is des-
tined to be an important figure in
making business for the canal.
Without much doubt, the most
nearly normal of all the traffic pass
ing through the canal thus far is
that between the eastern and west
ern coasts of the United States.
There has been a disjointure of all
the other traffic; in some instances
the war has doubtless caused in
crease Of the business, as in moving
Pacific coast wheat to Europe in
great quantities; but on the whole
it is probable that the canals traf-
fic has suffered greatly by reason Of
the world conditions growing out of
the war,

COUNTRY SCHOOLS

The little red schoolhouse on the
hill has come in for some pretty
hard knocks lately. The last is that
of Prof. Wood, of Columbia, who
says that aside from it's value as an
educational plant it is no great
shakes as an upbuilder of health
He says that city school children are
considerably healthier than those in
the country and cites figures to
prove it.
Thus old idols fall. Pretty soon
some one will come along and say
that Lincoln would really have
amounted to something if it hadn't
been for his demoralizing expert
ences as rail-splitter and the fact
that he had to pick up his education
the best way he could.
But as matter of fact it prob
ably is true that the city schools are
more healthful for the common run
of pupils, just as they are more eff
cient in grinding out education. II
would be severe indictment of Our
elaborate systems Of inspection and

quickness that is commonly astonish-
ing"
The speaker after developing this in
teresting theory about the consequences
of war, proceeded to develop. out OF q
wealth Of intimate information, his
reasons for believing that Latin Amer
lea is the particular field that the
United States most needs to cultivate.
"Our export business in the past. he
said, has been too largely in crude
prodrcts. Copper in bars has been
a m, nufactured article. II ought not
to be. We have been sending away the
fertility of our soil and the resources
Of our mines and imagining that it is
making US rich.
"Other countries have sought to ex-
pert the skill and labor Of their people.
and that is the kind of manufacturing
we need.
Team Work Is Needed.
Now, a survey of our exports to
Latin America shows that We have sent
n IoV Ton, .,r
represent skill and fabrication, and q
smaller proportion that merely repre-.
sent crude resources, than to any other
part Of the world. That is why the
Latin-American business deserves es-
pccially to be encouraged
where we have met our European
competitors in this South and Central
American field. we have done we'll. We
are not second even to England. We
lead in the quality Of many kinds OF
our manufactured products, thus dem.
onstrating that there is no real reason
why we need to do so large a share OF
our foreign trade in crude things. Team
work between government and industry
has made up for Germany much tina,
the quality and prices of her goods did
not deserve. Like team work between
government and business would serve a
still greater purpose of promoting
American enterprise in that country
and II would prove the most desirable
field for expansion that we are likely
to reach. because II opens the very kind
of business that we need and thus far
have not developed except in a limited
way.
But it will not do to wait till the
war is over. Then, everybody will be
out for business. ready to take 1t at any
price. The time to get started is right
now. while the other countries are oc.
cupicd elsewhere"

The new plan. which is experimental
in nature. will lie the quarantininE of
any resort which Is reported to the
police as a menace.
The quarantine method. it is said
will be employed as a substitute for
the old police method. now discarded,
OF closing up resorts which failed to
comply with the departments regula =
tons providing for registration and
medical inspection. or which failed to
report inmates suffering from disease.
"Officially." Detroit has had no vice
section for eighteen months. the re-
sorts having heen closed by order of
Police Commissioner John Gillespie. in
Oct obcr. 1913. The police have found
ditions. to cope with the scores OF
houses that arc operating openly in
many sections. To meet this new con
dition. without officially recognizing
the failure OF his elimination order
