AMERICAN METHOD IN WAR.

Paris, March 1.-THE second
lieutenant of a battalion of Alpine
Chasseurs tells hoW$the lasso was
utilized against the Germans in the
VoSgeS.
I'VE occupied a wooded knoll,
he says, $50 we'll placed the Ger
mans couldn't think of taking it by
assault, so they set their miners
and sappers at work. They arrived
thus within a few yards of our
trenches and had the audacity to
place a sentinel there, well protect
ed in a sort of armored box with
loopholes in it. There was no way
of driving him out. One day
Chasseur who had seen life on the
American plains, asked permission
to try his hand with a rope. At
midnight he slipped out of the
trench and crept close enough to
throw a slip moose over the box,
then another and another before
the German realized what had
happened. With the aid of num-
ber of comrades the box with the
German in it was dragged into our
trenches"

PANIC IN PROCRESO
Foreigners Ask for Refuge on
American Warship.
CarranZa Again Promises Pro-
lection to Life and Property.

Washington. March 17.-Foreigners
at Progreso, alarmed at disorders in
the vicinity, have asked for refuge on
the American cruiser Des Moines.
General Carranza, after conference
with American naval and diplomatic
officers at Vera Cruz, has promised
full protection for them.
The situation at Progreso was sum-
married. in this statement by the state
department:
'Advices from Vera Cruz. dated
March 16, state much alarm exists at
Progreso on account of the severe de-
feat of the insurgent forces. Foreign
ers there have made a request for
asylum on the U. S. warship. In COM
pany with the chief of staff of the
American admiral the representative
of the department of state called at
the foreign office in regard to the
situation at Progreso. Assurances
were given that General Carranza
would issue immediate orders to his
chief in command to give full protec-
ton to foreign life and property. The
foreign office further stated the ad-
miral could instruct the captain of
the Des Moines to inform foreigners
to this effect
The foreign office at Vera Cruz,
the department is informed, has is-
ued instructions that the port of Pro-
greso has been again opened to inter-
national traffic"
other official dispatches were thus
summarized:
The department IS in receipt or a
dispatch dated March 16, from Eagle
Pass, stating that General Hernandez
has sent 200 troops back to Piedras
Negras to garrison the town.
Secretary Bryan spent an hour with
President Wilson today discussing the
Mexican question, particularly in con-
nection with the treatment of priests
and nuns.
Bishop Currier of Mantanzas, Cuba,
Cardinal Gibbons and other Catholic
leaders have been in frequent COM
munication with the president and
secretary to get protection for the
clergy in Mexico and the administra-
ton is making every effort to see that
their rights are respected

that will result from the war-that of
the population of Europe.
The Academy has pointed out that
when the war ends a minimum OF
100000 men at the very least will
have been killed. The crisis which
Europe will then face for it's repopu-
lation will be without parallel in the
worlds history
The Academy has already pledged
to the government it's most profound
and exhaustive study of the situation.
While it is the intention of the mem
bers eventually to take up the prob
lem in its application to all the cOun-
tries stricken by the war. they for the
moment will .confine their efforts to
the problem as it is presented in
France.
That France will be the country
that will face the most serious phase
of the situation is already recognized
For years even before the war
Frances birth rate had decreased to
a point where it was exceeded by the
deaths. Now with hundreds of thou
sands of her men most capable of re-
producing their kind being killed, the
situation is recognized to have been
aggravated to a degree where only the
most radical, unanimous and exhaus-
tive measures on the part not only of
the French government but of the en-
tire French people are going to be
necessary in order tot insure the con-
tinuity of the French race.
AS yet the Academy has suggested
no measures to the government eX-
cept the immediate revision of all
legislation on the subject. The
Academy, however. from the super
ficial glance which it has already
given to the subject declares that the
minimum motto which France can
adopt and hope to prevent the grad
ual obliteration from the face of the
earth of the French people is Three
children for every family The con-
dition entaiIed by the war renders
this an imperative necessity
The Academy also has asked the
government to effect a complete
change in the policy of it's laws on
this subject Instead of enacting
measures with the end in view of
forcing families to have children. it is
urged. that the laws tend rather to
make it possible for parents to have
children by reducing for them the
economic burden of bringing them up.
AS the laws now stand. it is assert
ed that the larger mans family is
the more taxes, duties and other con-
tributions he is obliged to pay to the
state. the Academy asks the reversal
of this.
1t asks also the immediate revival
of an old law which was suppressed
in 1855. 1t provided that every fam
ily with seven children had the right
to have at least one of these brought
up at the expense of the state. The
Academy insists that even a larger
application of this law would be
justifiable under the present condi-
tions.

Process OF Rendering ls the Most Eco
nomical Of Various Methods.
With the exception Of sewage, gar
bage is the greatest class Of waste
materials whose disposal presents q
serious municipal problem. Garbage
is unlike sewage in this respect-that
it's value has been recognized from the
beginning, and various methods of dis.
posal have been devised with view
to the recovery Of it's useful constitu-
ents. initiating against this, on the
other hand, has been the desire to get
rid of it with as little manipulation as
possible, because Of the Objectionable
character which it usually bears and
the readiness with which it becomes a
nuisance.
The methods of disposing Of garbage
in use in the cities of the United States
are feeding to swine, dumping or bury
ing in clay pits, .gullies, swampy areas
and vacant lands, dumping at sea, in

The well advertised young heiress,

MODERN PLANT FOB RENDERING GARBAGE
GENERATING and rendering The most
important from the standpoint Of SAM
tation are incinerating and rendering
A number Of the larger cities of the
United States have installed incinera-
tors for the combustion Of ashes, rub
bish and garbage together. Their op-
GRAFTON is attended with success, from
the sanitary point of view, and they
offer simple solution Of the problem
Of disposal. Where this method is
used single collection is made, which
s1mplifies that operation also. The
economy of the method is open to Sc
rious question.
The rendering Of garbage for the
preparation Of grease and fertilizer
consists essentially in cooking in
steam, pressing to remove water and
grease, drying. extracting-washing
with gasoline-to recover the remain
Ing grease, and grinding. Rendering
is conducted in apparatus of various
designs and is varied to conform to
the ideas of the operators. The process
Of rendering is at present regarded as
the most economical, although there
are various other processes in vogue.

England, because the literary and
scientific England has meant so
much to them They were, there
fore. willing to excuse Sir Edward
Grey's announcement last week, that
England would seize in the future
all German goods purchased by and
shipped to neutral countries. Official
ly this was a measure of retaliation
against Germany's submarine war.
Actually it was England's attempt to
procure for herself the German dye
stuffs without which her textile in
dustry is dying.
Since America could get these dye
stuffs, there was danger that the
United States might forge ahead.
Why not, therefore, take all neutral
steamers carrying goods which both
England and America need into an
English port, keep the goods, ex-
change polite notes with Mr.. Bryan,
offer perhaps arbitration, and years
hence pay the present market prices
of the captured goods? In the
meanwhile, England would have re-
vived her own industries and have
starved the American factories:
Unfortunately, for her plans not all
Americans are hyphenated English,

ever descent, may be tristed to
rally to the support of theirscollptry
