WASHINGTON HEARS cARRANZA
TROOPS HAVE NOT DESERTED
Washington, March 23.-GoVeTn-
ment today is seriously considering
possible necessity of using state mi
Iitia on the Mexican border Every
available man of the regular army
may be needed by Gen. Funston to
cone with ViIlistas reported rein
forced by deserving CaTanzistas. If
entire regular army now in U. s. is
thrown into Mexico it is believed the
president viii have to call for the
national guard or volunteer for Dor
der patrol work.
Reports from Gen. Funston, not
entirely authenticated, that Gen. Luis
Herrera, Carranza military governor
of Chihuahua, had deserted to Villa
with 1000 men, presented grave pos
sfbilities, officials admitted. Increas-
ing official concern was another re-
port that Col. Cano of the Carran-
zistas, supposed to be fighting Villa
forces near Namiquipa, was actually
parleying with Villa with view to de-
sorting Carranza.
Carranza Consul Garcia at FL Paso
wired Mexican embassy denying that
Gen. Herrera has revolted. Instead,
he said, Herrera is actively pushing
campaign against Villa.
Most of mobile army in o. S. is al
ready in or near Mexico. In addition,
government has the coast artillery,
the army in the Philippines and Alas
ka and several thousand marines of
the navy to call upon in real emer-
gency.

Place for . Big Reform.

The order for postofice cooperation with the
federal reserve banks in the new check-clearing
project suggests that there are other places in
our government administration where an immense
economy could be effected by taking full advan-
tage of the postal facilities instead OF adhering
to costly old-fashioned methods merely because
they have been inherited from times gone by. This
Is particularly true in the matter of Serving"
papers connected with court processes.
The federal reserve bank is going to let the
postofice make check collections at points where
there are no member banks to do the work and
charge for the service the usual rates for postage
registry and money transmission. In federal
bankruptcy cases, the mails are now employed to
give notice to creditors but in our state courts,
from top to bottom, we are still sending out
bailiffs constabes and sherifs to serve" sub
poenas, citations and summonses and add ridicu-
lous fees and mileage claims to inflated cost bills,
outrageousy loaded down in other items as we'll.
This is what makes litigation so expensive as to
become almost denial Of justice to the poor
man and to make many people forego their legal
rights rather than invoke their remedy at law.
There is no good reason whatever why a
subpoena or summons or other ordinary legal
paper should not be served" by the letter carrier
in his usual rounds at postage rates. The result
ant savings each year would mount into the mil
lions Of dollars and the new way would be at least
as efficient as the old.
A far-rcaching reform like this could not be
accomplished without legislation nor without put
ting lot Of people out Of their jobs and conse-
quently arraying them against the needed legisla-
f;on NaturaIv the varioua har tions v,ouId
be expected to take the initiative in bringing
Anticipated court methods up to date, but if the
record Of other reforms Is our guide, they will
never do it until stirred to action from the out
side A popular demand, however, can be made
loud enough to secure an answer from those who
are responsible.

Blucklis. a Boomerang.

The bareback of the British blacklist for
American firms is likely to do the cause Of the
Entente Allies infinitely more harm than will re-
suit to American trade. Diplomats generally are
amazed at the stupidity Of the policy that per-
mitted the announcement at time when France
is seeking large loan in the United States. This
Is only one phase Of the affair. Firms involved
In the British boycott had long been aware Of the
displeasure under which they were resting, and
publicity could not render their situation any
more embarrassing. To notify Americans gen
orally that certain Of their fellows had been pro-
scribed is not at all likely to increase sympathy
or support for the British but will surely arouse
resentment that must affect relations between the
countries for many years. The fact that in some
degree British action is predicated on knowledge
gained from letters intercepted in passage on
neutral ships will not improve the feeling
American neutrality has been Of immense service
to the Entente Allies, and why it should be
strained as 1t has been by the blacklist is beyond
comprehension, even Of those who are most ia
miar with the general course Of British diplo-
macy. s.s 3

American il..oty ana the SCHOOL,.

When General Leonard Wood went before the
teachers assembled in New York at the conven-
ton Of the National Teachers association, he
spoke very plainly on some matters that are close
to army men. One Of his pregnant points is thus
reported In the New York Times;
History 10 too specifically taught here.
How many OF our children leave school with .
knowledge OF the fact that we have never
fought war without aid when we engaged
hrst-class poweri We have altogether too
much Of the Fourth Of July style Of oratory,
all too much Of the type Of man who speaks OF
million springng to arms between sunrise
and sunset. We have been sitting up nights for
three weeks, to see 10000 men spring, and it Is
very heavy spring
The truth OF this observation Is what makes
II weishty. II no credit to our intelligence that
children, while at school, are given distorted
idea Of what actually occurred, but il is fact
that only the most meager bits OF our true history
are furnished them. For example, almost every
child soon learns Of the brave words: millions
for defense, but not cent for tributei" and
cherishes them always as typical OF American
spirit. But how many Of them, even after at
tanning maturity, ever learn that when those
words were uttered the congress had no money,
and no means Of getting any, How many Of
them ever learn Of the experiences OF Franklin at
Paris, Of Adams in Holland and OF Lee in Spain
They need to be taught this, and also to learn as
much about the battle Of Bladensburg as they do
Of the battle Of New Orleans.
Patriotism will not suffer il the child at school
be taught the whole truth about his native coun-
try, and Il be impressed upon him that his first
duty Is always to his country. The liberty he
lives under was bought by blood, and can not be
maintained by words alone.

Scriptures as a Cipher Code.

The convenience Of the Bible Is exhibited in
its use as cipher code, citations Of passages be-
ing adopted BY missionaries in Turkey to convey
information Of their situation to their country
men in America. This Is not the first time that
Holy Writ has performed such service, It's Ian
guase frequently having served to carry secular
as we'll as spiritual information. Had the Turks
been as familiar with the Holy Scriptures as they
are with the Koran, perhaps the news would have
been held up. The episode has peculiar inter-
est In Omaha, for Il recalls one witty passage at
the Methodist General Conference here in 1892.
Bishop Fowler, who was presiding, had some diff.
hculty In controlling Editor James NJ. Buckley,
who was pressing his point with unusual vigor.
DR.. Buckley finally emerged with reference to
the first part Of the citation from the Psalm
quoted by the missionaries. Like fash, Bishop
Fowler came back with the second clause and the
shout Of laughter that went up from the delegates
10 still ringing through Methodist circles. Fa-
miliarity with the Book of Books is serviceable
elsewhere than In religious services.

I don't wish any better Job

It strikes me that's job o Joos'
A job that could always do.
And that would always seem like new
And that, / think, would always be
The kind Of job I'd like for me.
Big yellow kernels--yellow gold
As many as a cob can hold
From which the melted butter drips
When 1t Ia half way to my lips,
And which. when It comes to my grin.
My teeth sink In and In and In
The buttery big kernels sweet
There's nothin' else so good to eat!
Corn on the cob! have ct things,
Like fresh killed pork. and chicken wtngi
And turkey breasts, the firm white meat
But nuthin else Is quite so sweet.
Quite such a satisfyin' Job
As takin' corn off Of cob

Of this year, and FIVE Of them booked
orders ranging from $loo000,oo0 to
$500000,000. The bureau Of foreign
and domestic commerce places the
value Of munition shipments to date
at 100000, which Is only . starter.
Most orders Of this class are con-
