Polygsmy After the War?
From the Toledo Blade.

WON Sh6 IoteoO bi3Qc
The war has given birth to many ne-v
ideas. II has also brought forth many
ideas that have been gathering dust In
the storehouse of time. OF this Kind
may be recited the suggestion of Gen.
Nelson A. Miles that the great conflict
will possibly cause Il revival of the
practice Of polygamy- So many men
will be killed. he says. that population
can be restored to it's normal levels
only Il men take two or more wives.
As earnest readers of the Bible have
learned. the rule against poIygamy is
not Of scriptural origin. II is forbid
den there only for bishops" The an
cient Jews had plural wives and polyg-
amy is even enJoined in certain cases
by the Mosaic law. But the Christian
church early set It's face against the
practice. Luther and Melanchthon ap-
proved OF the Landgrave of Hesse TAX
ing a second wife ''as his personal
friends, though not as doctors of the
oIo2y" and divine assisted at the
marriage So if polygamy is restored
i'm Christian countries il will not be.
as most of US might think, in defiance
of biblical direction. However. almost
all Of the greater nations Of the world
have CONE. through the centuries. to
look upon polygamy as highly immoral.
The war will revolutionize thought in
a thousand ways. But 1t Is doubtful IL

tiop. 1t 10 too firmly hxed.

Queen Elizabeth Liked Beer.

Queen Elizabeth inherited her DOW

the other of wine, and invited the en-

enough insect eggs and grubs under
the bark of trees to keep going. but it
was the hardest kind of hard work, be-
cause a great many of the trees were
covered with ice. which they could not
get through. Their bills became very
much worn with the hard work. Still
they did not complain. No one ever
complains of things like that on the
Green Meadows or in the Green Forest.
They just do the best they can. know
ing that Old Mother Nature is doing
the best she can. whicn is u very wise
way of looking at matters.

bark or buds or seeds or Srubs, and 50
they had TO depend OH catching unwary
little people smaller than themselves
and this meant hunting every minute
that they were awake. They grew
very fierce and bold. and their wits
grew very sharp, indeed. They had
need to be sharp i'll order to get
enough to eat They never did really
get enough-not enough to feel that
they had enough. They were always
hungry. But they got enough to keep
them from day to day.
oh, those were hard times hard times
indeed on the Green Meadows and in
the Green Forest, and all because of
rough Brother North Wind and Jack
Frost. And yet as Peter Rabbit said
to Mrs. Peter:
1T might be worse. Yet, indeed, it
might be worse. l guess Old Mother
Nature knows what she is about. If
we had things too easy we wouldn't
live long. No. we wouldn't live long.
In these hard times we have to use all
our wits to get enough to eat and to
keep out of the stomachs of Reddy Fox
and the others. and they have to use
all their wits to try to catch us, so it
makes US all just so much smarter"
Which shows that Peter is wiser than
some people who always complain

Anyway. that is what all the little
| meadow people and forest folk who do
not sleep all winter or go away down
south say. And they ought to know.
Yes, sir, they ought to know. That is
why they do things in winter that they
never. never would think of doing in
summer. That is why Reddy Fox some
times seems very bold, and Sammy Jay
actually dares to fly down into Farmer
Browns henyard and help himself to
biddies.
So it was that when rough Brother
North Wind finally left the snow-cov-
cred Green Meadows and Green Forest
to Jack Frost there was Il great hur-
rying about by everybody to get their
StomachS full once more. Now those
who, like Chatterer the Red Squirrel
and Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel. had
stored up food. were not so badly off
as those who had no food at all stored.
To be sure, Happy Jack had hidden
nuts under leaves on the ground. and
now these were covered with snow and
hard to find. But by searching he found
one here and there. Danny Meadow
Mouse and Whitefoot the Wood Mouse
had stores of seeds where they could
get at them without much trouble, and
they soon were skipping about on the
snow, really enjoying the cold weather.
But all the time they had to keep their
wits about them and watch out more
sharply than ever because of so many
hungry folks watching for them.
But while it was easy for these thrift
ty little people to get enough to eat, a
lot of their neighbors were very, very
hungry. and because they were hungry
they were also cold. Peter Rabbit and
little Mrs. Peter could find very little
to eat but the bark of young trees, and
they had to travel around quite a lot
to find enough of even this coarse
fare to fill their stomachS. Mrs. Grouse
was quite is badly off. OF course, with
all that snow on the ground she could
find no seeds or other food there, and
had to live on the buds from the trees,
not at all to her liking, but better than
nothing.

of Porfirio Diaz and notwirhstand-
ing his Statement that he did not
come to start trouble, he is going to
San Antonio, Tex, this month to meet
place. and perfect plans for the inva-
sio1 of Mexico ~
Neither Huerta nor Diaz will take
the field, but they have named Gen.
Ramon r. Iturbide as commander-in-
chief of the new army which is being
secretly recruited and organized at
various points along the American
border, principally at Las Cruces N.
NJ; Nogales, Ariz., and Presidio, Tex.
Their plan is to invade the north
ern part of Mexico while Villa is in
the south fighting the Carranz1stas
with practically his entire army. I
have positive information to the eff
feet that all wealthy MeXicans who
have been driven out of Mexico by
Villa and who still own property
there having been asked to contribute
to the new movement and that So
100000 has thus far been subscribed.
ST am taking Villa, information that
if made public now would astonish the
world. One powerful American cor
poration having large interests in
Mexico is also backing the new revo-
luton, and an ex-presfdent or the
United States who is very bitter to-
ward General Villa has sat twice in
junta in New York"
L asked my informant to explain
how the new army proposed to Sc
cure guns ana ammunition on AIIloEI-
can territory without attracting at
tention.
THAT is very simple he replied.
"They have already been to Wash
ington to see Secretary Bryan. He
knows all about the proposed invasion.
Believing that neither Villa nor Car
rama will win out in the present
struggle. the Wilson administration is
willing to listen to any new plan that
promises to bring peace in Mexico be-
fore the American presidential cleo
ton of 1916.
1.-The Wilson administration wants
to save it's face. Iturbide with his
small force proposes to invade Mexico
at some point near Ell Paso, Texas,
and march against and capture Juar-
ez. Having made this important port
of entry in their hands it will be easy
for them to enlarge their army and
obtain munitions of war from the
United States.
Because the American government

talk-fest in which plans were made
for having the permanent headquar-
tiers of the Fraternal Aid Union locat
ed in Topeka, and to have Fraternal
Union Day and Kansas Day fall on
the same date at the Panama-Pacific
exposition. Albert T. Reid, member
of the Kansas commission for the big
exposition, and Governor Capper
promised to assist actively. The meet
ing of the supreme council at which
permanent headquarters for the or
ganization will be decided upon will
be held in Pasadena July 10. The or
ganization numbers about 100000
members and the head office will dis
burse considerable money in whatever
city it is located.

There has been an increase of $50

There is a plan on foot to take the

has not yet recognized any faction in
Mexico it will be just as easy for the
cientifico party to import arms and
ammunition into Mexico from Ameri-
can territory as it is at present for
Villa and sCarranza."
I called immediately upon General
Villas secretary of state, Miguel Diaz
Lombardo, and asked him what he
knew about the proposed invasion.
I'VE have known it for two weeks"
he answered. "Huerta and Diaz are
at it's head and are backed by the old
cientifico crowd and certain influen-
tial American money powers. More
than that I cannot tell you at present"
I telegraphed General Villa asking
him, what he knew. His answer sent
from the Celaya battlefield is charac-
teristic:
"A few days ago I sent the newspa-
pers you represent an emphatic pro-
test against allowing Huerta to land
on American territory" read the mes
sage. 81 did this because I had posi-
tive information that he was coming
to the United States to foment a new
Mexican revolution I have known
about the proposed invasion from
American territory for some months.
For that reason 1 sent my comman-
ders along the border towns strict or
ders to keep a close watch and report
every suspicious move of the enemy.
General Ornelas, of Juarez, has TWEEN
ty machine guns on the roofs of
streets of the town, and his men pa
troll the border night and day.
But if Huerta and his pack of muir
derers want to come, let them. L am

fomenting new revolution will make

assure you that the cientificos will

In Ell Paso at the present time are
a number of officers who fought
against Villa in the federal and Oroz-
quista armies. Among them are Cen
era1 Mercado, General Marce1o- Car
aveO and many others who partici-
pated in the war against Villa when
Huerta was in the presidents chair.
The understanding is that the new
revolutionaries will wage war against
all elements at present fighting in
Carranzistas and
Gutierristas.
