GEN. PARKER TELLS WY
ARMYIS ON THE BORDER
Country tUds and Still is
Threatened by War; Mobilization
ON Border is Training School

The following article by Brigadier
General James Parker. commanding the
Brownsville district. written for the H.

tBY BRIG.-GEN. JAMES PARkER.)
The question is now being asked by
many men of the state troops here in
camp, What Are We Here For?" Ii is
well that an answer be made 10 this
question and that it be kept in mind by
all. The government and the people of
the United States certainly appreciate
the sacrifices that are being made by of
iiccrs and men Of the state troops in per
forming this service. They have left
their homes and families. They have
left important positions. They have
lome to a hot and sometimes disagree
able climate.
But they should feel that what they
are doing is not being done in vain. that
they are rendering 10 This country u

States for patriotic service done for the
country.
What is this service? In first place
this country was and is still, threaten
ed by war. The conditions on the other

they have ever been before. Villa j. still

raid. The temper of American people
becomes more and more impatient. The
people are realizing that the prestige of
the country il suffering. Unforeseen stu
atoms arc constantly occurring and
some OF these situations may demand
action.
1t is therefore, apparent that this
may be of service as a fighting force. 1t
is, therefore. apparent that it should be
come prepared; that the officers and
men should be fully trained. This can
only be accomplished by long hours Of
drill zach day and by enthusiastic
work.
Secondly. il ID desired 10 exercise dip

Presbyterian hospital and it's excellent equipment estimated as worth $3,000.- 900. There has been contributed $2,- 0oo;0oD by the Rockefeller Foundation, s2,00000o win be donated by the uni- versfty besides a half million for the site and there will be added thereto a sum of $3,500,o00 which it is planned to raise by subscription.
 This is certainly start which can- not help but make many of the other medical schools, which have been struggling along in the different stages of development, a bit envious. They win appreciate the advantages which will be offered by such a start and such an endowment, but it is to be hoped that the very fact that such an excellent beginning is assured will not prevent the institution from becoming one of the greatest medical schools in the country. Sometimes 1t is those which have to work the hardest to get along that make the best showing, and those which are rolling in wealth fail to make the best use of their opportu- mites. In this matter. however, it is to be expected that the excellent start will only be an incentive to greater accomplishments. Whether it will re- suit in the greatest school of it's kind remains to be seen.

GREECE MOVING SLOWLY.

Gradually is the evidence appearing to the effect that Greece is coming around to the viewpoint of the allies. It is slow, and the course which 1t is taking is not serving to bring that country and its ruler into any great favor but the allies have the consola- ton in knowing that the enemy is not making progress in its efforts tc swing that country to it's side
 The latest announcement is to the effect that soldiers of the army will be permitted to join the Venizelos SUD- porters, provided they first send in their resignations, and not a few. in- cluding some officers, are already do- ing this with the result that Greece is becoming represented in the war by larger number daily who will fight against the national enemy, Bulgaria
 The progress in this direction is therefore increasing from the entente standpoint even though it cannot be considered entirely satisfactory. By the gradual wearing down of the op- position to throwing in their lot with the allies. the entente nations are gaining ground in Greece and strength ening their position in that part ot the war zone. It should also result in the bolstering up of the offensive operations from Salonih which have thus far failed to produce what has been expected there. either in gaining ground or in holding the attention o1 the enemy. This, army was looked tc to relieve Rumania from the pressure which has been exerted by Macken- sens forces but it has thus far fail ed to, and it is a question how soor It will at the present rate of progress in Greece.

considerably enlarged a quarter of . century later, and the left wing re- stored following it's destruction by the bombardment of 175o when the Aus trians captured the town after it had been held by the French for a year. The building covers two and a half times as many acres as the national capitol at Washington, while the ex- tensive palace gardens give to the city a park and recreation ground of great beauty. The promenade sur rounding the town follows the line of the old Notifications which were razed when the grand duke of Baden came into possession.
 While Mannheim only dates from 1906, when 'it was founded by the Elector Palatinate Frederick W and chiefly peopled by protestant refugees from Holland, it occupies the site of village owned by the Abbey Lorsch in the eighth century, and only a short distance to the south stood the old castle of EicholzheiH. Here Baldas- are Cossa, one of three churchmen who claimed to be pope at the same time, was imprisoned for three years, following his sensational trial by the council at Constance during which, among other crmes. he was charged (but not proved guilty) of having poisoned his predecessor Alexander V. Cossa exercised pontifcial power un- der the title of John XXIII from 141O to 1415. After he bought his way out of prison he was appointed a cardinal
 bishop by Martin V, but died soon after in 1419.
 During the Thirty Years War, the struggling town of Mannheim suffered greatly, owing to the strength and | strategic importance of the castle 1 which had been erected by Frederick | IV, and which was coveted by all con- 1 tenders.
 The future of Mannheim was as- sured in 1720 when E1ector Charles
 Philip transferred his residence from
 Heidelberg, 10 miles to the east, to | the ducal palace which he began to
 build in that year. The setback which | resulted from the transference of the court to Munich in 177s was only 1 temporary.
 "Mannheim's .Hof-Theatre,' which
 was begun in the same year that our
 Declaration of Independence was
 signed, is famous as the playhouse in which Sellers first works-Robbers' 1 'Fiesco' and 'Cabal and Love were
 performed in association with Iffland,
 the noted Mannheim actor and poet Mannheim in 1919 resulted in placing l the universities in Germany under
 strict government supervision. This , was the assassination of the noted dramatist Kotzebue by Karl Ludwig
 Sand, a theological student and lib-
 erty enthusiast. Kotzebue, who had
 written 200 plays. many of which had
 enjoyed unprecedented success
 throughout Europe, had settled in Mannheim after he had been forced by | his unpopularity to leave his native
 city of Weimar upon his return from St. Petersburg in the capacity of a
 secret agent of the Russian govern
 ment.
 Mannheim is 1S4 miles by rail southeast Of Cologne, 39 miles north l of Karlsruhe, 55 miles south of Frank fort, and 120 miles northeast of the
 fortified French city of Nancy"

FAILED TO GET TOGETHER.

In looking over the election results it is quite evident that it was the re- publican states of the west and middle west which made it possible for the reelection of President Wilson. and that possibility was due to the failure to get together on the part of the two branches of the republican party. Take such states as Ohio, Minnesota, Kan sas, Washin gton, which four years ago showed a plurality by combining the republican and progressive votes of anywhere from 51, 900 to 97,0o0 against the democrats, the states of North Da- kota, Colorado and even New Hamp- shire which under the same circum- stances were republican by from 15,- 900 to 19,0o0 and compare them with the vote this year and 1t is shown that there was not that reunion of, the split republican party which had been an- ticipated or claimed.
 This is further displayed In the re- suit in California, where though the combined vote four years ago gave but a 4,000 plurality for the republi- cans, this year the republican candi- date for United States senator, Gov ernor Johnson. won out by nearly 300,- 900 plurality and yet the head of the ticket was defeated. This was even displayed in a number of the states which did give MT. Hughes a plural ity but not as large by many thous- ands as were received by state candi- dates when as a usual thing it is the presidential candidate who gets the biggest vote. Serious mistakes were made in the effort to get together, as is evidenced in California and the re- suit Is that the split of 1912 has brought about a democratic adminis- tration not only for four but for eight years.

STORIES OF THE WAR
The Irish Division Praised.

The following letter. circulated by authority of the British War Ofhce, constitutes an interesting review of the work of the Sixteenth Grish) Di- vision. The letter, which was written by major of the Sixteenth Division addressed to the editors of the London newspapers, is quoted in part as fol- lows:
 "The 18th Division established two years ago in response to the appeal of the Irish National Leaders has well justified its existence and has a record of service of which Irishmen are proud. Composed of battalions of all the well known Irish Regiments, the Division left for France in December 1915 under command of Major General Tickle.
 The Division was employed in holding portions of the line and in completing training till March 18th. On the 26th of March the division took over as a whole the Lcos and Hulluch sectors and held them with out break or a rest of any kind. The

any news or advertising agency with which I am connected received any compensation in connection with ad- vertising except as legitimate commits sion from newspapers-a commission reduced, of course, by the legitimate expenses of the business.
 May I be permitted also to add for whoever may be interested that in more than 40 years of newspaper ex- perience I have never received any compensation except upon exactly the basis upon which the New York World and every properly conducted news paper receives it's compensation. In the case of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company this was absolutely proven before the pub. lie service commission when it inves- tigated miscellaneous expenditures of the New Haven road down to the ad- vertising accounts.
 The testimony was unanimous that all expenditures through all my agen- cies were on the strictest principles of independent journalism.

INDIGNANT AT OWN MEDICINE

It Is an Illuminating statement which comes from Berlin by wireless to the effect that a deep impression has been made upon the German pub lie by the recent report that British patrol ship after destroying subma- rine U-A had deliberately run down a rowboat containing two of the survi- vors of the crew.
 This is looked upon as cause for great indignation and the charge of treachery at sea by the German pub- lie, and there might be reason for iothers sympathizing with them in their attitude were 1t not for the fact that 1t has been the German subma- {, rine policy which has led up to this very thing. Germany has shown no disposition for long period at any time to respect the rights of others on the high seas. It has not only sunk merchantmen belonging to the enemy without warning and without giving those aboard them an opportu- : nity to escape but it has even been guilty, if reports are true, of having It's seamen Jeer at drowning men. And in the carrying out of such a policy a large number of neutral subjects have hsen killed. over a hundred Americans having been drowned or killed as the result of German sub- marine attacks which were entirely unjustificd.
 No indignation is expressed or pro- test heard in Germany about such af- fairs. and still there is the Marina case where five Americans lost their lives a few days ago. the attack upon the liner Arabia and the sinking of the American ship Columbian of date1 dates. The people of Germany make 1t. evident that they do not like even g er11al1 dose of their own rnedfcina.
