er along the bottom of the canyon back
to the foot OF Bright Angel Trail, which
leads to the canyon bottom from here.
Soon after leaving the foot of Her
NIT Trail they became lost in the waste
Of rock formations. The alkali water
which they were forced to drink
caused both men to lose their minds
temporarily. Mr. Hyde became sep

his way out of the canyon. but was IN
able to direct searchers to the spot
where he had left his companion.
Parties searched the canyon for two
days and found no trace of Mr.. Har-
vey. Finally he was discovered in
delirious condition, his outer. clothing
gone. He was brought out of the can
yon on a pack burro. He is recovering

MOTOR DRIVER TIRED
OF HORRORS OF WAR
Chicagoan Deaf and Dumb, His

Chicago.-A remarkable war letter
was made public here. 1t was from
Robert Beck, former owner of taxi
cab business in Chicago, to his friend
Charles Grand Beck joined the allies as
driver of an armored automobile.

The other three men carried with me
in the armored car were blown to bits.
''This was month ago. The doctors
have tried to bring my speech and
hearing back, but they cannot. The
doctors say they will come back in
time because now my nerves are shat
tered through hardships.
Charlie, l am tired Of killing peo-
pie. I have been driving an armored
car with three Maxim guns inside of
it and three men working the guns.
These fire 500 shots a minute, and
carry 10000 rounds inside the car. The
car weighs four tons, SO you can see
what fun we have on the battlefield.
I have seen times when drove my car

SIR WILLIAM ROBERTSON.

He invested his shilling day-which
is the pay of British private-in
books. AS a British regular trooper
has none too much time to himself, he
used to get comrades to read to him
from Bacon and the English classics
while he was grooming his horse or
cleaning his equipment.
In the course of lineal promotion he
could never hope to be more than a
major. Special promotion could come
only through distinguishing himself.
Macdonald, who won fame by his
charge at Omdurman, and other emf
nent British commanders who had
risen from the ranks had won their
way as natural leaders of men in the
field.
Four years after he had received his
commission he had won enough atten-
ton to be assigned to the intelligence
branch of the quartermaster's depart
ment in India. There he found his
opportunity Rewards are given Off
GERS for learning native dialects.
To the average officer there is moth
ing attractive in spending hours with
ing tongue which can be Of use with
only some frontier tribe. Robertson
offered his munshi a quarter of the re-
ward when he was proficient enough to
earn it by passing an examination
On the staff throughout the South AZ
viz h
Of Roberts and Kitchener by his capac-
ity for getting things done when others
sometimes failed. When in 1910, he
was placed in command of the Army
Staff college even those who agreed he
had shown himself to be the man for
the place were amazed at the thought
Of q man who had been for ten years
private without any groundwork Of
regular academic education should be-
come the director of an institution
which gathers the ablest officers of the
army for instruction in the higher
branches of war and gives the charac-
ter to army organization.
Meantime he had kept on with his
languages. He now knew French and
German, and he had studied the con-
tinental army systems. There seems to
be a general agreement that his i'm
provement of the Staff college marked
an epoch.
AS director of military training at
the war Office he later had much to do
with the preparation of the British ex-
.pediionary force. He went to France
with it as quartermaster general and
was responsible for keeping the army
overseas supplied. His success in this
capacity led to his appointment as
chief Of staff.

Queer Freaks of the Flood.

Dodgeville Sun Republic: When the
flood came down the Blue Mounds
branch of the Pecatonica river week
ago Sunday night, it decided that the
Ivey school house, in the town of Mos
COW, was not properly located. So it
picked the building up and carried it to
new situation, three quarters of a
mile farther south, crossing the valley
twice in it's journey, and set it down
intact, and with such skill and gentle
ness was the work performed, that
nothing inside the building was injured
not even upsetting lamp which was
standing on table.

A. Wise Wood, vice president of the

"With q minimum of effort and time

proaches to Portland and Bath and the

portance Of a constant aerial surveil-
lance of Casco bay in the event of hos

bay provides perhaps one of the best
hiding places for submarine vessels to
be found anywhere along the New Eng

TYPE OF MEXICAN BANDIT.

Fl TYPE OF MEXICAN BANDIT.
tically there is no meat here, though
the hotels occasionally are allotted
little by the government
TOrreon always has bread line. 1t
is a long, patient, black robed line OF
women with bowed heads. Ablebodied
men have either been killed or wound
ed in the fighting or are in conscript
service or in hiding. So women and
children stand in the bread line in
bakery.
While the supply lasts each is given
a pittance Of cornmeal, sometimes
mere handful When the supply is
gone some turn away to forage in the
garbage cans of more prosperous citi-
zens. Others just wait in the bread
line. Sometimes they faint before the
doors open; sometimes they drop dead,
and their bodies lie in the street
There are several Of these panaderias,
and a line averages $50 persons all the
time Some buy bread instead of tax
larger than roll, sells for 80 centavos.
At one of the larger panaderias the
crowd waited thirty-siX hours. Then
gendarmes appeared and ordered the
women to leave. They did not refuse
to dispense: they simply didn't so. The
gendarmes repeated the order loudly
and fired pistols in the air. A torrent
OF Spanish broke out from the women.
''Shoot us!' they cried. Death must
come. Shoot us. but don't let us starve
to death. The bullet is more merciful."
TOrreon is full of Villa troops, most
~ elderly men or young boys. The
flower of his army is dead or disabled,
principally dead. The army Of today
IS not we'll uniformed, spick and span.
as 1t was year ago when Villa was
triumphant and his treasury was full
of money. Villas forces are thin, hard
iened, morose, the result Of many bat
ties and a succession of defeats. All
that prevents mutiny is fear OF the big
brown man with the bushy mustache
and the blazing eyes-Villa.
The army is sober. So is the civilian
population. Knowing that sotol, te-
quila, mescal and the whole line OF
native strong drink tend to infiame
men and make them ugly. Villa has
reinforced prohibition.
Northern Mexico is full of wounded
men. In the hospitals and on the
streets of Torreon and Chihuahua City
are about 1890.

Meanwhile Mexican Bandits, Bolder
Than Ever, Are Sparing Neither Rich

Torreon, MISUNDERSTANDING condi-
tons in Mexico City are fairly typical
of central northern, northeastern and
northwestern Mexico.
Northern Mexico has long since for
gotten the principles of the revolution,
the political, agricultural, financial and
social reforms" which were the slo-
gans Of Villa and Carranza. To the
great mass Of Mexicans those princi-
pies never were more than campaign
talk They understand that the mill
tary leaders are merely playing poll
tics with guns instead Of speeches, pro-
ceSsions and votes.
TO make matters worse, the Next
can bandits never were bolder or buster
than they are now. With the always
chaotic government of Mexico more
chaotic than ever, the bandit raiders
are sparing neither the poor nor the
rich. They are mercilessly plying their
trade.
