Between 10000 and $4,000 addition,

Secretary Baker made formal an.
nouncement that the troop move

the Mexican situation as such and was
solely to relieve thousands Of troops
now held in mobilization camps only
because they lack few recruits to
bring units up to fixed minimum

The order sends the troops from
Kentucky. Ohio and Vermont to the
border as soon as transportation can
be arranged for them and will move all
the others including those from North
Carolina as soon as they are properly
equipped. War department officials
decided on their action because the
troops are restive in camp and there
seemed to be no stimulus to recruiting

$50 Acres of Water is Released Into

Asheville.-The sreat dam at Lake
Toxaway, so feet high, 400 feet in
width and holding back waters that
covered $50 acres Of land in the Toxa-
way region, 3S miles from this city,
crumpied and went out with roar at
7:10 o'clock Sunday night, and at mid
night the waters thus released were
rushing down the Keowee River valley
toward South Carolina cities, their
path including Walhalla, Anderson.
Pickens and Seneca. Warnings Of
food danger were sent to all South
Carolina points from this city and
Greenville, S. c.
According to long distance message
from Toxaway, the entire dam, built
Of earth and stone, seemed to melt be-
fore the rush Of waters within few
minutes. The initial opening in the
dam, caused, it is believed, by the
seeping OF natural spring at the
base, was not longer than a railway
coach.
The dam, built in 1902, at a cost
Of $3S,000, was constructed at a point
where the hills are not more than 400
feet apart. The Toxaway country is
known as the beautiful sapphire Sec
ton" in tourist circles. The lake and
the hotel, named after the section,
were built in 1902 by a party Of Pitts

raise $4,000, including valuation on
the lot. 1t is possible that a lot will
be donated. in which event something
like 100000 would be needed for the
building. The promoters of this splen'

cities will step in and take from

An investigation made by some OF
the railroads Of the country indicated
that 100000 foreign-born persons
would return to Europe Immediately
after the war, for various reasons.
Friends and relatives have been
killed. Their homes have been dev-
astated. There has been no commu-

Gates that some of the warning coun-
tries are planning a campaign upon
America for the purpose Of induc-
ing able-bodied mensto return to their
native lands to aid in the rebuilding
process. They want men, and they
want the accumulated capital which
these men will bring back with them;
and 100000 men with $500 each
would mean an addition to the capital
resources Of Europe Of S1O0,0O0,000. It
is probable that great stretches Of Eu-
rope now divided into great feudal es-
tates will be broken up into small
holdings, to be sold to natives and
returned foreign-born from America
as small farms. Fer many mobiles Of
central Europe have been killed. Many
more have been bankrupted. The
shortage of labor will make it difficult
for them to work their estates. 1t is
not impossible that the United States
may be country from which the
able-bodied will emigrate, rather than
a country into which they will immi-
crate. This, of course, is a matter Of
speculation. It will depend upon in
dustrial conditions in Europe on the
one hand, and industrial conditions in
America on the other. Adding to this
is the pending legislation at Washing
