This Town Kept
Its Young Men

The reason small towns never
become big Is tied up with the de-
sertIon of the young men who 60
to the cities to make their way.
Milford, N. H., decided to
put a stop to this, and the Novem.
Der American Magazine tells
how it was done. The writer
says: "Most communities of less
than fifteen thousand inhabitants
suffer a constant loss of their best
blood in the emigration of their
young people. This is particu-
larly true in the older states east
of the Mississippi. With the ex-
ception of the favored few whose
families have wealth or own
some established enterprise, the
young man and, to less extent,
the young woman of the smaller
town, after completing their edu.
cation seek the larger cities, or
new states, or even foreign coun-
tries. This exodus is looked up
on almost as a law of nature-as
inevitable as the swing of the
seasons.
"Thus are our smaller commu-
mites sapped. The educated, en-
terprising young men go; youn I
woman of their type, left be-
hind, frequently refuse to mate
with the only men availa-
blended, often have no men
of any sort to choose. THIS situa-
tion has formed the basis of
many stories and one of the most
popular plays of the present de-
cade.
But the thriving town of Mil
ford, New Hampshire, believes
that It's enterprislng and abla
young folks do not have to be
transplanted in order to succeed.
1t declares that if the
individual endowed with abil-
lity to create a business in Mon.
taua or Mex co will only exercise
the same serious study of condi.
tions right at home, he will have
an easier path and a surer re-
ward. A short time ago, the cit

LIGHT ON LIFE
OF DR.. CARL GRAVES

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.--Dr: Arm
gard Kari Graves, or Kari Arm
gard Graves, as he sometimes Is
known. has been a thorn in the side of
the German and British authorities for
several years because of the mystery
with which he has invested himself
He has written a book, has lectured
and given out newspaper Interviews in
which he has claimed an inside knowl-
edge of all the famous diplomatic in
trigpes OF the last decade. He has as
serted in print that he was one of the
most valued agents of the German Sc
cret service and that he was once en-
trusted with a mission of great I'M
portance by Sir Edward Grey.
Graves revelations of European es-
pionage have been repudiated by both
the British and the German govern
ments. Every misfortune that has
cropped up In his path he has attributed
to the Vaccinations of one government
When he was arrested on September
II. 1914. for pawning a ring belonging
70 a friend he charged that his seizure
was German plot against his liberty.
At that time he so impressed Mag
istrate Nolan he was released or his
promise to make good the amount of
the Jewelry.
Predicted Fall of Antwerp.
In the field OF predictions DIR. Graves
has succeeded in adding Importance to
his personality. He told in advance of
the fall of Antwerp. and he prophesied
tho invasion of England by Zeppelins.
He told In advance the attitude that
Italy would take Also he ventured into
DISCUSSION of the prospect that Ger
many would strive to effect an alliance
with Russia.
Neither in his books nor his lectures
has the self-described spy given any ac-
curate information of his real identity
(nPrmanV u
printed a long career of alleged crime
and deception by Graves. His writings
have been attacked on the ground of
error by representatives of the British
and German embassies, The documents
he submitted in fac smile in hisSbook
are asserted in these exposures to be
spurious.
Graves in publications has given him
self credit for staving off many inter
national crises. Hardly a complication
OF nations arose during his term of es-
pionage, he asserted, but that he was
called In to help. He contributed to the
seliition of the Moroccan difficulty sew
eral years ago. and he says he helped
out once or twice In the Balkans.
Commissioned Once by Kaiser.
His experience proved the danger OF
too much knowledge. he has confessed
naively. BECAUSE he worked himself
into the greatest secrets-once he was
commissioned personally by the Kaiser,
says Graves-the German government
decided 10 betray him.
They sent him into England to get in
formation OF Britains army and naval
activities. and arranged matters so he
would he arrested.
In England he was sentenced 10
eighteen months Imprisonment, but
this was abbreviated because Sir Ed
ward Grey wanted to use him for spy
work in this country. When ne got
here he decided to abandon espionage
entirely. Hence, his frank revelations.

eral Pershing's column from Mexico UNI
til Villa Is taken or his band dispersed.
Consul General Beltran, representing

has received advices indicating that the
prospects OF capturing villa or per-
manently eliminating him as factor in
Mexican affairs are brighter than at
any time since the bandit leader re-
sumed his activities in northern Mexico.

column of 5000 Carranza troops. Is re-
liably reported to have recaptured
Parral and Santa Rosaiia from Villistas.

ported jeopardy OF BENJAMIN Braham.

WILCOX HINTS OF
ACTION BY c. G. P.
"May Do Something" While
Waiting for Official Figures,
Says Wilcox.

NEW YORK. Nov. 12.vGuardedly and
inferentially, Republican Chairman
Wilcox declared today the national
committee may take some action over
the disputed defeat of Charles e.
Hughes before the official figures are
compiled.
I'VE will pay attention to every
phase of the situation" he said after
comforting with Hughes. when
say we will wait for the Official fig
ures, ] do not mean that we may not
do something In the meantime"
He was not specific, however. as to
what IL any, action he contemplated,
other than the watchful waiting he he's
mapped.
His statement was interpreted in
some quarters as significant, from the
fact that previously he had announced
receipt of charges from many quarters
that frauds were perpetrated In the
elections in California and elsewhere.
Put Up to State Chiefs.
These charges have been forwarded
to various State chairmen for what
they may be worth. Wilcox himselh
however. has not Endorsed any OF the
claims. coptenting himself with say
ing that he does not believe the pres
ent election machinery IL at susceptible
of fraud as in the past.
Hughes stayed at the Astor House
with Mrs. Hughes his sole companion
except for two or three outside guests.
Wilcox has injected a bit OF optimism
into the Republican candidate by fig
ures showing that four years age. there
was similar situation In California.
