cans were killed in Mexico in the years 1913, 1914, 1915, as compared with AT in the three years preceding and that 20 civilian Americans and sixteen soldiers were killed on Ameri- can soil in the last three years as "a result of Mexican troubles When the report was received, Sen ator Stone. chairman of the foreign relations committee, moved that it lie on the table and be printed as a pub l lie document. He made no comment on its contents.
 The total number of Mexicans re- ported killed in American territory as a result of border trouble other than those resulting from firing across the inclusive, was S9. MexicanS killed in American territory as a result of fir ing across the international border during engagements in border towns in the same period was three, a total of 92.
 In one portion of the report of Sec retary Lansing this statement was made:
 'In this connection it may be stated that when the murder of American citizens was reported, the department of state made representations through its representatives for the apprehen- sion and punishment of the asSailants, and in some instances the depart ment's representatives made such rep resentations to the appropriate officials on their own initiative.
 Where there has been no definite information as to the apprehension of those said to be guilty of the out rages on Americans resulting in their death a notation to that effect has been omitted to these lists for the sake of brevity."

CLEARED UP MIsUNDERsTANDIN
Secretary Hines Interpretation of Law Regarding Use of CiVics in the Teaching of Civics.

Secretary c. D. Hine of the state board of education has cleared up @ misunderstanding that has ex- isted throughout the state in regard to the boards interpretation of the law of 1915, requiring the teaching of ciVics in the public schools of the state. The act was not clear on the use of text books in the teaching of the subject and it has been held that the state board was of the opinion that it did not require the use of them, Secretary Hine said there was doubt as to the precise meaning of the statute and that the board preferred to leave the matter to the local authorities.
 Would a town, by neglecting to use text books in the teaching of civics, forfeit it's right to a share of the grants which are allowed by the state?"
 ''No;. certainly not said. MT. Hine
 Did publishers of text books show an interest in the bill?"
 Not the least so far as I could see. Not one of them called on me nor did any of their agents"
 Secretary Hine further stated the federal government was making ef- forts to have civics taught through out the country and large number of pamphlets had been issued toward this end. He believed books on the subject for all schools in the state would cost $12,000 or $13,000. This is the estimate which Thomas S. Weaver, superintendent of schools in Hartford, gave of the expense for the entire state.

TO INCREASE RESERVE
Officers On Reserve List Will Be Sub ject to Duty Only in Event of War.
LIST OF c. N. c

a That there would probably be many increases in the number of officers on the reserve list of the Coniecticut National Guard as a re- suit of the change made by the gen eraI orders of Feb. 10, in the change in the regulations covering the reserve list is the opinion expressed by Ad- tions provide that "Off1cers on the ac- tive list of the c. N. G.. may, upon their own application, forwarded through military channels, and with the approval of the adjutant general, be transferred to a reserve list. Ex- through the commanding officers of the organization in which they rerced: such applications will not be approved by the commanding of
 icers where the applicants have been separated from the service any length of time, now will they be forwarded, approved, unless the ap- pIcants are quit fit mentally. nor ally and physically for active ser vice. Officers on the reserve list nevent of war or other emergency
 and in such event may be called upon for active service by the governor"
 General Cole said that the aim of the new regulation was to provide for officers who, though unable to reason or another, were neverthe- less too good officers to be wholly discharged from the service, a way by which they could serve the state in time of need. By the regulations formerly in effect such men had to leave the service entirely, unless they had served long enough to per init them to go on the retired list
 General Cole believed that the new regulations would somewhat in crease the number of officers who were carried on the reserve list at

IMPERATIVE NEED OF
 WORLD WIDE VISIONS.
Rev. c. H. Ricketts Said World Was Never Before So Clearly Understood.

"The world wide visions never were greater needed than today" said Rev. Charles H. Ricketts in shop talk to the men of the Richmond Radiator company Wednesday noon.
 Among some of the things Rev. MT. Ricketts said were:
 The late Cecil Rhodes is said to have thought in terms of continents, and true it is that his broad vision and far-sighted policy created the young British empire of South Africa, a section of territory that has all the natural advantages for becoming some day vast independent state. If this ever comes to pass, as seems likely, 1t will be due to a broad political policy.
 As an illustration of the opposite tendency to contracted and provincial views, the speaker referred to the mountaineers of Switzerland, many of whom refuse to believe there is any world outside of their own little Alpine valleys. This view has been handed down from father to son for many generations, and this explains why there has been among these peoples so little progress.
 There never was greater need for world wide visions than today, be- cause the world was never before so clearly understood, nor so clearly seen in it's unified relations.
 As nation we need to be commer- clally more aggressive along leglti- mate lines This country is enormous why haven't we an enormous mer- chant marine? In a competitive war fare-feebly contested on our part we allowed our merchant ships to be driven from the seas. Why should most of these ocean carriers sail under alien flags? Because of a provincial policy that was outgrown more than 50 years ago. Conservatism is all right in building walls of safety about us; it ought not to put us into a tomb. If there is money for other countries in the merchant marine bus mess, why not for us? Why should not the Stars and Stripes float over as many ocean carriers at least as the little insular kingdom of Great Brit ain? The time has come for broader and more enlightened policy. e
 We want larger vision of this whole preparedness movement. We can never have a navy for the same pur- pose that Great Britain has. She has the largest navy in the world for police service; it is big enough to cover her limited sea frontage. To cover our extensive Atlantic seaboard and Pa cific coast as Great Britain does her isles, would require a navy that would bankrupt any nation.
 In my judgment the safest kind of national defense does not lie in put ting our rifles into the hands of Eu- ropes trained soldiers; they may act as boomerang and some day be pointed at us. We are not going to soothe this tiger instinct for fighting by standing on the wharves of New York waving olive branches and throwing kisses. The savage in man has been aroused and God only knows how many victims will be required before it will be satiated. What we need is a policy so broad that every able bodied man in the country should have some military training in case of need. Our danger does not lie in the direction of pagan Japan, but so- called Christian Europe.

 Mir. Goldstein's sound reasoning and convincing logic is said frequently to arouse the ire of his opponents who invariably flock to hear and quiz him despite the attempts of the national officers of the socialist party to get their members to ignore GoldStein and ask him no questions" The press reports that they come with the hope of causing embarrassment to the speaker. but in every instance MT. Goldstein has met the enemy. disclosed their tactics, and completely defeated them" In answer to Q California so- cialist who made an attack upon MT. Goldstein he replied, in part, The charge of being a professional turn coat has in fact no SlendereSt thread to hold on to. My record is simple. have not changed from one organi- zation to another nor back again. I have been associated with but one trade union during my life as a jour neyman-that is the Cigar Makers In- ternational Union of America, of which am still a member in good standing and in which l am proud to say 1 hold 26 year old card. I have been asso- ciated with but one political move ment. 1 resigned from the SociasSSe party 12 years ago, after a futile at tempt to induce it to repudiate it's immoral teachings. I have been con- nected with but one church-the Ro- man Catholic church-into which I was privileged to enter ten years ago last May the twenty-first.
 Moreover I am not a turncoat with regard to my religious convictions. I am but a belated follower of our dear Lord. Being a Catholic means not a denial of great Jewish traditions, but rather a recognition of their greatness by reason of their fulfllment. The Catholic church is the fulfllment of the law which was placed into the hands of the childre nof Israel, and the institution of the higher law in the Blessed Sacrament. which calls all men to spiritual perfection. I pray every day that the remnant of Gods chosen people may be brought to the realization that the veil in the temple has been rent that the Messiah has come; that He actually exists within His own church.; that His Sacred Heart beats for everyone of them
 that He patiently awaits their en- trance into the one true fold, the full fillment of His own prophecy"

 FEVER|SH CHILD
IF LITTLE STOMACH IS SOUR, LIVER TORPID OR BOWELS
 CLOGGED

Mothers can rest easy after giving California Syrup of Figs" because in a few hours all the clogged-up waste, sour bile and fermenting food gently moves out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. Chill dren simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, and they become tightly packed, liver gets slug gish and stomach disordered.
 When cross, feverish, restless, see if tongue is coated, then give this de- licious fruit laxative" Children love it, and it can not cause injury. No difference what ails your little one-if full of cold or a sore throat diarrhoea, stomachache, bad breath. remember, a gentle inside cleansing" should al- ways be the first treatment given. Full directions for babies, children of all ages and grown ups are printed on each bottle.
 Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs,'' then look carefully and see that it is made by the California Fig Syrup Com pany." We make no smaller size. Hand back with contempt any other fig syrup.

IN FIVE MINUTES NO SICK STOMACH,
 INDIGESTION, GAS
"PAPE's DIAPEPsIN IS THE QUICKEST AND SUREST
 STOMACH RELIEF.

If what you just ate is souring on your stomach or lies like a lump of lead, refusing to digest, or you belch gas and eructate sour, undigested food, or have a feeling of dizziness, heartburn, fullness, nausea, bad taste in mouth and stomach headache, you can surely get relief in five minutes.
 Ask your pharmacist to show you the formula, plainly printed on these fifty-cent cases of Pape's Diapep- sin, then you will understand why dyspeptic troubles of all kinds must go, and why it relieves sour, out-of- order stomachs or indigestion in five minutes. "Pape's Diapepsin" is harm less; tastes like candy, though each dose will digest and prepare for as similation into the blood all the food you eat; besides, it makes you go to the table with a healthy appetite; but what will please you most, is that you will feel that your stomach and intestines are clean and fresh, and you will not need to resort to laxa tives or liver pills for biliousness or constipation.
 This city will have many "Pape's Diapepsin" cranks, as some people will call them, but you will be en- thusiastic about this splendid stomach preparation too, if you ever take it for indigestion, gases, heartburn, sourness, dyspepsia, or any stomach misery.
 Get some now, this minute, and rid yourself of stomach misery and indi- gestion in five minutes.
