Editor FL Paso Herald:
With the final decision OF the Pan
American peace conference to recognize
Senior Carranza as head of the de factO
government OF Mexico. the cause Of the
civilized has triumphed against the
barbarous. the law against banditry.
I confess that II is rather early to
talk about peace and restoration as if
it were already a fact. but now that the
Constituencies have been left alone
and that the United States has decided
not to interfere in our own national
and domestic troubles, the Constitution

tiOnalist" army as well as the Zapa-

Then the chief executive can turn his
efforts to the most important matter
after peace, which is the rebuilding Of
the tOrnup republic
But to carry this last necessity to a
success and fruitful end. it viii be
necessary for the victorious faction TO

that under no conditions would the peo-

paper Syndicate.O

Winter is coming, when eggs and
outter will be more expensive and when
a will be more in demand, especially
after the lavish fresh fruit Of summer
cannot be called on for desserts. Here
are some recipes for economical cakes
to meet the requirements OF a small
purse and a big family appetite.
Hot water sponge cake is reliable
and inexpensive. 1t is especially good
with ice cream, canned fruits, and GUS
tard, and any left overs can be used for
charlotte russo. To max it beat the
whites and yolks of two eggs separate
ly and then together. Then add a cup
full of sugar, beating it in we'll, half a
t~easpoonful of vinegar, a cupful of
flour sifted with a ~teaspoonful of salt.
Beat all together for five minutes and
then add hal a cupful of boiling water.
Bake in a quick oven.
Here is an eggless cake: Cream a
cupful of sugar n a quarter OF a cup
ful of butter. Add a cupful of sour
milk and a cupful and three-quarters
Of flour sifted with a -teaspoonful of
soda. Then add half a cupful of
~raisins, dredged with flour. half a tea
spoonful of cinnamon and half of a
grated nutmeg.
For a cheap fruit cake, that can be
depended on to stay fresh for weeks,
cream together a cupful of butter and
two cupfuls of sugar. Then add a cup
full of sour milk, a cupful of molasses,
four eggs, beaten we'll, two level tea
%spoonfuls of soda. heaping tea
spoonful of cinnamon, a level teaspoon
full of ground cloves, and one of nut
meg, and four cupfuls Of flour. Then
add a pound of seeded raisins and a
quarter Of a pound of lemon peel. This
| will make tWo cakes.
Molasses cake. if carefully made, is
always a favorite. Cream half a cup
full of sugar with half a cupful of Short
ening-butter, half butter and half lard,
or other shortening. Add a beaten egg,
a cupful OF molasses and a cupful Of
cold water. Sift together a t~easpoonful
OF salt, a t~easpoonful of ground gin

A school to give Instructions in mere

THE WEALTH

Washington, d. C.-The national
wealth is officially estimated at $751;
739, 900. 600. or s., 965 for each a wom-
an n child in the country.
Such are the figures contained in the
special bulletin, estimated valuation
of national wealth. 1850-1912. which is
about to be issued by Director a l..
partment of commerce. This bulletin,
which was compiled under the dlrec-
ton OF Starke NJ. Grogan. chief sta
.tistician in charge of the inquiry, pre-
sents estimates of the true value OF the
various classes of real, personal and
other property owned in each state and
in the District of Columbia in the year
1912. Comparative statistics, in less de-
tail, are given for earlier years, extend
ing as far back as 1850.
The ensus bureau does not present
these estimates as very close approXi-
nations to accuracy. but as being the
best which can be made from the data
available and as being fairly compar-
able with those published eight years
ago. relating to the year 1904. The
sources of information employed were
reports of assessors and other state
officials; the year book OF the depart
ment of agriculture; census reports on
agriculture. manufacturers. street rail-
ways, telegraphs. telephones, electric
iSiiI LII power SIdlIOIlS, duQ IIdISpOI-
tation by water; and reports of the
Interstate Commerce commission, the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce, the United States geological
urv the bureau of navigation. the
chief engineer of the United States
army. the director of the mint, and the
comptroller of the currency.
In less than t%wo-thirds of a century
from 1850 to 1912--the total wealth of
the nation, excluding exempt real
estate. increased from ST. 1861 OO, O00, or
$"08 per capita, to $175, 426, 600, 900, or
$1.SS6 per capita, the percentages of in
crease being 1888 for the total and 496
tor the per capita amounts. In other
words, the wealth of the nation as q
whole Is nearly 25 times as great as it
was in 1850. while that of the individuai
ls about six times as great.
The exempt real estate, which was
estimated at ST.. 314, 900, 900. or 1929 per
capita. in 1912. includes the buildings.
other structures. and public works
owned by the federal. state and local
governments. with the land on which
they stand. together with such real
property OF educational. charitable and
religious institutions as is exempt from
taxation.

condemn all increase of the army, all re

all sale of arms and munitions to nations

with hypocrisy and with seeking to make
money out of the slaughter of their fel-
low men. Such a statement coming from

Nom Resistance a Futile Doctrine.
Those who wish to abolish armies and
1avies and forbid the manufacture and
sale of arms nope to establish peace by
making 1T impossible to resist wrong. They
apparently think that because non-resis-
ance to an Individual aggressor will often

History does not justify this opinion.

An Incentive to M~iI;tarism.
The other peace proposal. a law pro-
hibiting American citizens from manu-
featuring and selling arms to other nations
before other nations lave agreed to adopt
peaceable methods of adjusting interna-

peace but to war. The statement of this
truth by Secretary Lansing seems to me
lncontrovertible. The adoption of this
principle, he says, would inevitably give
the advantage to the belligerent which

tions in time of peace 4. would
