A CRY FOR PEACE

An! hear the wives and babies cry, Prey on the corpses they lie Of Boyd's men, who dared to do and die Hear the sisters and lovers pray, And weary fathers and mothers gray, Call to God to protect the way Of loved ones through the desert day List to the cry of MeNxo's heart As from their homes for battles mart, Were many loved torn apart; With guns to bear and cannon cart How many grieve. o, who can tell Of hearts that ache since Gomez fell < They sorrow too, we know full well. o God, do make it strong and plain, Nations do but wreck and ruin gain. When they, their native soil will stain With blood of heroes shed in vain. O. leaders of the Mexico band, O. leaders>of the U. s. land For peace and justice take your stand, And prove yourselves both brave and grand. For Mexico your blood and mine, Love will unite your young and mine And there will be no border line.

Frank Baptist Renders Him. self Visible to the Naked Eye of Baltimore Repor- ter and Elks by Becoming Jolly Spendthrift

Nothing much wrong with Exalted
 Ruler Frank Baptist of the local lodge of Elks. Never was a suspicion. Con firmation of flattering reports on his keen manner in making himself prop erly conspicuous when abroad, is found in the columns of the Balti- more American. which thus describes his activities at the late convention of Elks:
 Bellboys and porters were astound- ed yesterday afternoon at the Hotel
 Belvedere, when they were handed tips of $50 and S100 by Frank B. Baptist of Phoenix, Arizona. a dele gate tc the Elks convention.
 MT. Baptist with five other dele gates from far away Arizona reached the city late yesterday afternoon When Mir. Baptist arrived at the Bel vedere his pockets were seen to be stuffed with money. Thousands of dollars were seen to protrude from the outside pocket of his coat and large rolls of bills were stuffed in his inside pockets.
 After registering, and before he was shown up to his room he had handed out several thousand dollars in tips It was real money but the kind that Lad been issued by Mexican rev- olutionary officials in Mexico and had about the same value as good wall paper.
 MT Baptist had s25.O00 of the Mex ican money with him and says that he is going to give the entire amount away in tips before he leaves the city
 We use that kind of money down in Arizona to wrap up bundles with, % ! said MT. Baptist. Cattle won't eat II so We are going to give it away
 As soon as it was rumored about that the Arizona delegation had ar rived and were giving away s25, 900 in tips, another rumor started that they were wild ard terrible cowboys ! armed to the teeth
 These rumors were without foun- dalton for all six of the members of | the Arizona delegation were dressed in the latest fashion.
 NIT. Baptist is also anxious to have it known that Phoenix is the largest city in Arizona.
 Those from Arizona besides MT. , Baptist are: E NJ. Dickman. Tucson J. Cross Meyers. Tucson. J. N. Kelly.

Biggest Water WAGON.

The Russian duma has passed a bill
making the suppression of vodka a
permanent national policy. The meas
ure prohibits the manufacture and sale
of any beverage containing more than
~ per cent of alcohol. This bars
beer and light wines.
"Under the difficult conditions of
wartime" says NJ. Bark, minister of
finance, 1--WE ventured to forego a huge
drink revenue and thereby most clear
ly demonstrate that, with a return to
peace, when the state eXcheQuer re-
covers all its former sources of
nue., and n sobered people fully devel-
ops its greatly increased productivity
in the peaceful field of labor, Russia
calmly and confidently will be able to
live with a temperance budget"
The Russian empire comprises one
seventh of the habitable globe. Its
water wagon carries some 175,0O0,000
people, who, despite the enormous bur-
dens of the cOstliest war of history,
are increasingly prosperous, more "ht"
physically, morally and financially
than ever before to serve their coun-
try.

Needless Work.

1t is necessary, if one would avoid
needless stains and soil, 10 train
children to keep their hands off walls
within and without their own homes
and those of other people. The in
evitable result of much play is soiled
hands, and it were a needless cruelty
to expect children TO be always I'M
maculate. These fingers, fresh from
balls and tools and stone, and all man
ner of dust and muck, go thoughtfessly
against yOur front door, your light
cOlored Notwithstanding, your pOrticO
pillars or ratings. They respect not
the wallpaper on the stairway or else
where out 90 the hands as their own
ers pass up and down, and in and out,
and everywhere there are deface-
ments. It is a simple matter to tutor
your Own children to refrain from
this habit, but you suffer from other
boys and girls as well. Mothers in
general should warn their children TO
keep hands off at home and in the
homes Of others. 1t is not pleasant to
the tidy housekeeper to note, after
Il housekeeping, fresh finger marks
waiting to greet the first caller.

The Most vlrtuous of Birds.

Storks, according to some ancient
writer's (they can hardly be called au-
thorities), are the most virtuous and
domestic of birds. One of them, Friar
Bartholomew, says: while the female
liveth, the male keepeth truly to her
in nest. And if a male espy, in any
wise, that the 1emale hath broke
spOusehead, she shall no more dwell
with him, but he beateth and striketh
her with his bill, and slayeth her if he
may" The same writer remarks that
storks, in their oversee migrations, are
conveyed by crows, who withstand
with all their might fowls that hate
stOrks." An engaging characteristic
attributed to these birds is that they
''nourish their parents when oppressed
with age.'-London Chronicle.

Incas Were Sun Worshipers.

In religion the Incas were fond of
worshiping high places, fine views, and
other striking natural objects, such
as irregular boulders. waterfalls and
springs the wonders of the air and the
sky, such as rain, thunder, the starry
armament, the moon, and, above all,
the sun.
In a cold, mountainous region like
the central Andes, it was but natural
that the sun, so essential to the rails
ing of crops and the comfort of shiv-
ering humanity, should have been re-
garded as their chief divinity.
OF literature, as such they neces-
sarily had none. Their language was
probably the Quichua. Mr.. Hardy of
our expedition, Who has been study
ing it, says hat "for one who has not
learned it in childhood it is difficult,

tigers had killed 1000 persons in India.
You shudder at the fearful a of

for daring to kill a poor, little, inno-
cent flea. Those fieas were riding up

the devastating bubonic plague in
thousands of homes throughout India.

SURGEONS in SEA BATTLE
Herculean Tasks That Were Faced In
Great Naval Fight off
Jutland Bank.

"During the battle of Jutland bank
the naval surgeons performed a TER
rible task" writes the medical corre-
spondent of the London Times. He
tells of the sudden emergency hat
confronted them, and the hasty trans
fer of stores and equipment from the
sick bays above the armor to the fore
and aft distributing stations below it.
"Soon in their station" he continues,
"they heard the booming Of guns, and
soon there crept down to them the
fumes OF the exploding charges. From
that time the stations became the
scenes of fierce and terrible activity.
"In one great ship bellying smoke
filed the doctors rooms at the very
moment when the streams of wounded
began to flow down to them, adding
suffocation to the thousand other per-
lis of the work. The ship reeled I'M
der pounding blows, she staggered in
n difficult sea; the conclusion of her
guns vas so great as to preclude the
possibility of adequate surgical assist
ance. Wearing gas masks, the doctors
did what they could, bending their en-
ergies selflessly to the great task, as
Is the tradition of their calling.
an another ship an enemy shell de-
strOyed the aft station utterly so that
the whole work of relief fell on the
remaining forward one. Hour after
hour, without reck of time or exhaus-
ton, the staff labored to overtake its
great task. Another ship was holed
and had her electric light cut off. The
medical station was in darkness; it
was foul with the gas fumes from the
enemy shells; water poured in by the
holes in the vessels sides. Here, single
handed, a young naval surgeon toiled
by the light of an electric torch until
he was ordered to get his wounded
away because the ship was sinking.
And this task he achieved so well that
not a life was lost. The doctors wit
messed strange scenes during these
hours, and perhaps the strangest of
all was that which followed the an
nouncement hat a German ship had
gone down, for then all the wounded,
including the man on the operating
table, began to cheer"

bite from Austria ungary's domain
the rich region known as Pennsylvania,
with an area of 21,00O square miles.
Passes on West Frontier.
From Verciorova in the southwest,
where the Danube rushes through the
Kazan defile out of Hungary and be-
comes the southern boundary of Rou-
mania, to that point In a northeasterly
direction where the three frontiers of
Russia, Roumania and Bukowina meet
is 800 miles in an airline, but following
the crest of the Carpathians along the
devious international boundary be-
tween western Roumania and eastern
Hungary the distance is more than 800
miles. This line is pierced at several
points by passes and swift-fiowing riv-
ers which break through that rocky
wall; but, generally speaking, the
mountains, which are known as the
Pennsylvania Alps and which ut some
places attain IN altitude of more h a
5000 feet, form n great rampant for
Hungary, as the eastern slopes into
Roumania are much more precipitous
than those leading westward down the
fertile Hungarian plain.
The most famous breaks in this
mountain wall are the previously men
toned Kazan pass, which is also
known as the Gorge of the Iron Gates;
the ROteturm pass, which follows the
depression of the turbulent Aluta riv-
eri the Borgo and Predeal passes.
Railroad engineers have taken advan-
tage of these natural gateways through
the rocks, one of the most important
railways being that which connects
the Roumanian capital, Bucharest,
with Budapest, via Temesvar. 1t en-
tiers Roumania through the Kazan de-
file.
ROumania touches the northeastern
corner of Serbia for a distance of 80
miles below the Iron Gate, the Danube
forming the boundary line. To the
east, beyond the Serbian frontier town
of Radievatz, the broad reaches of the
river constitute the dividing line be-
tween Bulgaria and Roumania. The
northern (Roumanian) bank of the
great waterway is largely fen land,
presenting n most desOlate aspect. MI
merous islands dot the bosom of the
swift river, whose waters turn the
wheels of many floating waterfalls
moored along the bank in this part of
its course. Some twenty miles north
east of the Bulgarian railroad junction
city of Rustchuck the international
boundary ceases to follow the river,
but breaks sharply to the southeast,
reaching the Black sea at Baltchik.
The northeastern boundary of Rou-
mania is the River Pruth, which rises
in the Carpathians beyond Czernowitz
and flows in a southeasterly direction
into the Danube ten miles below the
important Roumanian city of Galatz.
1t separates the province of Moldavia
from the Russian province of Bessara-
bia, a natural boundary of $50 miles.
From the confluence Of the Pruth with
the Danube the larger river is the
RussO-Roumanian boundary to the
Black sea. The Roumanian frontage
from north to south on this great in
land sea exceeds 160 miles.
