WASHINGTON. March 5.-The

Many Of the merchants In Mexico City
arc foreigners. mostly Spaniards, and the

I'VE believe he said, the bad eco

for the last sixteen months with the at
tendant depression OF general business
have been dueTmore to the failure OF the
railroads to earn adequate revenues than
to any other cause. The situation may
have been made more acute by the uro-
pean war, but business depression was
upon us with full force prior TO that.

ENGLISH VISITOR TO
EDGEWATER HEIGHTS

Miss M. C .Winterburn, of Edge
water Heights, received short visit
this week from her niece, Miss Ida
Wilson, who had just returned from
a long stay in England. Miss Wilson
spent the last fifteen months in
Bridlington, Yorkshire, on the English
east coast. The guns of the German
cruisers, as they bombarded Scarbor-
ough, were distinctly heard in Bird
lington, short distance away. Miss
Wilson came over on the new Gu
harder, Tuscania, and tells the usual
story of the employment of mine
sweeping trawlers upon leaving Eng
land. At night not pin-point OF
light was allowed to escape from the
vessel.
Miss Wilson speaks with praise OF
the consistent attitude which this
country has maintained throughout
the war. She says, however, that the
south of England is beginning to re
sent the aloofness of America from
the struggle.

all this means, and wonders why il
is all carried on on such tremend-
GUS scale. Germany could to-day put
in the field an army of 100000
well-equipped men and make it five
million upon occasion. The feeling
of patriotism in Germany is the coun-
try's chief asset. You do not find
young men Germans emigrating to
this or any other country in over
whelming numbers. They are stick
ing at home for love of the 'Fader..
land When one sees the North
Baltic fleet in action with it's annual
manoeuvres, there is presented a
spectacle that cannot fail of excit-
ing great admiration, not to say
wonder.
"What about England? What is
she doing, for she must have her eye
on Germany" was asked of the ex-
naval man.
Building ships, principally. War,
ships, | mean, and all other kinds
that will give her a prolongation OF
that marine power she has so long
held. England is the worlds wonder.
no matter if she is finally forced to
take a whipping. The whole worlds
history does not afford anything like
the advances made by England on so
small a territory. Surrounded en-
tlrely by water, she has grown to be
the worlds greatest power by pro
cesses of pure intellectual wit. Eng
land has grown more from brain than
Drawn. Scholarship has won for Eng
lishmen what numbers could not win
for any other nation. But now Ger
many is fast crawling up in the rae
and 1T is this mastery of wits again
that is going to tell the story. The
wonder is that the sharper wit o
England has not better been able to
match her power against the world
IN controlling the Hague. Only dis.
arament alone can avert the war | be
lleve is already on the horizon. A.
least the first steps of disarmament for
that would be the beginning of tn
end of our great warships of to-day
and then the rulers of all grea
powers could start their energies
along another line of material devel-
opment. But Germany is going at
the thing in the best way, | think,

producing stamina and backbone, and
these are the cardinals of success

"Do you think the people of Ger

by no means. The German people
are all opposed to war. But they are
factors and are simply
the means to an end. If war comes
they fight-not against their wills,
but for Germany. That is the spiri5
that rules. In England the everyday
man does not even think of war, be-
cause the diplomats have for two
centuries or more taught them to be-
lleve that England is safe from all
possible intrusion. The Englishman
is too busy trying to make a living
to think of war. There are no visible
signs of war there, but there arc
many signs of it in the lineup of the

people pay them, and there the mat

Captain Darby Scents War
Returning From Europe He Tells of Interesting Conditions
In England and Germany, and Predicts Almost Certain
War, Possibly Not Immediately But Sometime Soon

Captain and Mrs. Samuel E. Darby
returned August 5 from a months So
journ in Europe, where the former

great war over there, and that it will
be between Germany and England.
Which do l think will win? Well, off
hand, my money would go on Ger
many"
"Why?" he was asked.
Because Germany is doing the best
work to this end. Germany as a
nation is making more and better
progress than England That is, she
is wasting nothing of her energies on
false faith or action. Whatever Ger
many does has meaning, and they
have the principle of conservation
reduced to the finest object lesson the
world has known"
"In what does this consist? ?"
primarily in her understanding
what conservation means. 1t is in
the little things that Germany is look
ing out for that is making her greater
every day. She is wasting nothing.
Why, saw so much wheat in the
fields of Germany that l felt as if
she were raising food for the whole
world. l never saw such magnificent
wheat fields. And they know better
how to grow it over there than we
do. They produce a greater average
per acre, far ahead of what we
average in this country of rich lands,
the difference in Germany being that
they know how to fertilize as they do
in Belgium, the greatest wheat grow
ing country in the world, where the
average is forty bushels to the acre.
In this country we do not average
fifteen"
as Germany using the commercial
fertilizers?"
ooh, no. They make it right there
elements are with them, and the man.
ufacture of their liquid and other dry
fertilizers does not cost them anything
at all, scarcely. This is but one of
their processes of conservation. Then,
too, they conserve by process un-
known to this country, and at which
we would probably revolt. We saw
women working in almost every
avocation in Germany. They work
as day laborers on the farm, and put
in as many hours as the men. This is
producing a nation of great, strong
people for Germany. These women
might one day be in the army, for
they are quite strong enough to Shout
der gun, and have the nerve to fire
it off with intent to kill, for all are
loyal to the mother country to an ex-
ceptional degree. And they are not
unhappy in their labors for the up
building of their country. You will
not see any female revolts in tha t
land. We saw women working on the
railway tracks, exactly as you see
men as section hands on railroads in
this country. The whole of Germany
has had an awakening on the indus
trial problem, and they are solving
it in the safe and sane way. The ties
of blood between the powers of Ger
many and England may stay the con-
f1ict for many years to come, but it
is in sight now, and the rumblings
may be heard from afar. In Germany
they do not talk war, but they live
it. The casual observer would scarce
ly have war actually suggested to him
in a tour through the German
provinces. 1t is only when one secs
the great army and naval demonstra-
tions that one begins to wonder what
