comn,.in. About Crossings

Commissioner J. D. Truss is very much exercised at the manner in which the railroads ignored his written request that they eliminate repair their grade crossings, but admits that he is powerless to act.
 For me to get action on my letters to the railroads about the grade crossings" ," said Commissioner Truss, lis to go to Montgomery and make an appeal before the public service commission. Then the railroads will file kick, and we will file an answer and then if we are still living the commission will bring in it's findings, which are just as likely to favor the rail- roads as they are to favor the city. This explains why I am trying to per- suade the railroads to my way of thinking by writing them nice little letters about the matter So far only the Frisco rail- road has paid any heed to my request. They are repairing their grade crossings with chert. The Southern railroad has also promised to take some action, but as yet nothing has been done. This means that we will have to take some direct action to be decided on within the next few days"

The North Sea Battle

While the first reports of the great naval fight off Jutland-the greatest sea battle of history-made it appear that the Teutons had gained bril- liant and decisive victory, later in- formation shows that it was by "no means a onesided engagement" Losses on both sides were severe.
 Berlin counted the result enough of victory to cause a thrill of elation throughout the empire, but since the British admiralty has had time to study details the government is begin ming to recover from the state of pes simism which prevailed Friday when the first bulletins were flashed. The Germans were then claiming every thing, and London was naturally de- pressed, not to say panic-stricken.
 But after England takes the most favorable view of the battle possible, it is still a sorry awakening to British pride, to think the enemy could in- flict the damage it did.
 No one will now question Germany's preparedness on sea as well as on land. The Kaiser's navy as well as his army is an efficient fighting machine, and although the English sea fighters were true to Britain's best traditions, the Teutons came near getting away with the most powerful fleet that the world has ever known.
 Between 125 and 150 ships were en- gagged in the battle, but after the fighting calm soon prevailed and Great Britain was once more master of the sea.
 The naval experts of the United States are now deeply engrossed in the lessons of the North sea battle The effect on Congress will be direct and of practical value. It may be assumed, at any rate, that the Senate will add two battleships to the nava bill recently adopted by the House.

 4 BOUT to be tried on a charge of
 "A having desecrated the American
 4 > flag, Bouck White, a pastor of the Church of the Social Revolution, oc- cupied himself by experimenting flag
 burning. First came the incineration of
 the flags of Germany, Great Britain,
 Russia, Japan, Italy, Sweden, and Greece Then the Stars and Stripes was cast into the flaming melting pot" Of course, the burner made speech. He
 formally denounced allegiance to nation alism and proclaimed devotion to inter-
 national industrialism.
 Passing over the fact that the penal
 law (Section 1425, Subdivision 16 makes it a misdemeanor to mutiate the flag,
 let us consider what this incident means.
 If you have enough poetry in your soul you will know the meaning of it all ' said Bouck White when asked what the ceremony signified Let us assume that the necessary poetry is present and try to place ourselves in the state of mind of this little band of agitating enthusi- asts. They believe, as most intelligent men believe, in the saying of St. Paul that God hath made of one blood all nations of men;' they believe in the saying of Tom Paine, who said, 'The world is my country" they have faith that in the society of the future the su- preme terrestrial allegiance will run not to nation but to mankind as a whole; they are persuaded that nationalism, in
 many of it's manifestations, interferes with the development of nobler ideal. All these are the commonp,aces of con- temporary discussion in every civilized land. No poetry or soul is necessary to understand this; smallest modicum Of intelligence and informal tion is needed Why, then. is the penal law as it is? Why will the greater body of both na- tionalists and internationalists regard what occurred in the back yard of the Church of the Social Revolution as an outrage? It is because of the general recognition of the fact that neither in- ternationalism nor any good thing is to be promoted by showing contempt for the symbol of the social integration that we have attained to.

| The Yaquis are credited with being the
 only Indians on the North American continent, surrounded by whites from the beginning of their history who have never been fully subdued. For many years they have been a menace to north ern Mexico, and while they have been
 harried by Spaniards and Mexicans since the first half of the sixteenth century. they are still a strong and warlike race,
 who are both industrious and courageous, says a bulletin of the National Geo. graphic society. Most of the Yaquis in-
 habit the southern part of Sonora, zona. They raise corn and cotton and the maguey which produces mescal, Mexican drink. The men are in demand
 as farmers. sailors, miners and expert
 pearl divers, while the women are skilled
 weavers. They do most of their trading
 at Guaymas on the Gulf of California.
 In 1S49 it was estimated that the Yaquis
 numbered 57,OOO. It is not believed that
 there are not more than 20,00. About
 20 per cent of these were transported to
 Yucatan and Tehauntepec a few years
 ago by the Mexican government, in or der to quell their periodic uprisings. In
 1925 occurred one of the most ,sanguinary
 revolts of the Yaquis, who were led by
 the famous chieftain known Banderas,
 because of his banner, said to be a relic of the Montezumas. Banderas made his own gunpowder and hired white soldiers to instruct his troops. He made an ad-
 vantageous treaty with the government of Mexico, one of the conditions being that he should be made salaried gen. eral of the Mexican army. A few years later he led another revolt, but this time he was badly defeated and was captured and shot. The Yaquis take their name from the Rio Yaqui, which flows for 800 miles through the mountain gorges of Sonora and empties into the Gulf of Cali fornia.

MEN OF PRINCIPLE

From London Answers.
 Farmer Jones was firm believer in keeping the Sabbath; he regarded it as his duty to show others a good example
 But that didn't prevent him lettering after service to have chat and har- vest looked larger than sermons and theology.
 "A purity mare we've got there, MT. ,Johns! said he one Sunday, as ht paused by another farmers gate. 'Iss, she be that, MT. Jones'" was ths reply.
 If 'twasn't zunday, I'd be askin if she wor for zale.'
 And likewise, if 'tworn't zunday, T6 say she wor.'
 "A strange coincidence, MT. Johns, said Jones.
 Then, after long pause, he added Now, if 'twasn't Zunday, what'd ye ask for she?''
 Well, I'd ask 45 pounds"
 'I'd give ye 8 pounds!'' replied Jones sharply.
 Couldn't take that said Johns regret fully; but if 'tworn't Zunday, I'd split the difference"
 "So we would." agreed Jones. "Could Zee lend Oi a saddle, and I'll ride hei whoam now? I'll send saddle back wi check in the morning. I'd buy her now only it wouldn't be seemly on Zunday.'

An American Navy

The 1915 Navy Year Book, recently published, gives some interesting facts regarding the nations first line of defense" The first appropriation for what is known officially as the "New Navy" was authorized March 3, 1883. since that time the sea force has cost S2,240, ,519, $40, of which $480, ,O46 has been spent for new construction. This sum is only about $19,00O less than the appropriatio9 recommended for the five-year building programme, the preparedness measure of the pres- ent administration.
 It is highly gratifying to know that the enlisted personnel of the United States navy Constitutes the most thoroughly American body of men Tn the world" according to Seven Seas magazine. Government statistics show that of the 52,561 men on board Amer ican warships or serving on shore, 47,- 664 were born on American soil, with in continental limits, and of the re- mainder, 1900 were born in territory belonging to the United States. This refutes the statement made by Ger man newspaper some months ago that 50 per cent of the men in the Amerl- can navy were foreign born.
 American people have always taken commendable pride in the men and ot- ficers of the navy, who are unsur- passed in fitness and courage. It IS, however, rather surprising to note that such a large percentage of the navy's personnel is native born. Few persons not familiar with the facts would have imagined this to be true, a belief no doubt influenced to some extent by the comparatively small number of American born sailors to be met with in the ports of the United States.
 The 1915 Year Book contains a great deal of other information of value to anyone who is interested in the growth of the navy and in these days when preparedness is vital topic, it is well worth careful pe- rusal.

 You asked me to write a little poem which would seem to be said by you about me- I have written it, and copy is in Arbour Hill barracks with other pa- pers.
 l JuSt IcCciNcQ IOly cHi happy except for the great grief of part ing from you. This is the death I should have asked for if God had given me the
 choice of all deaths-to die a soldiers s death for Ireland and for freedom. We have done right. People will say hard things of us now, but later on will praise us Do not grieve for all this, but thing of it as a sacrifice which God asked of
 me and of you.
 Good-by again, dear mother. May God bless you for your great love for me and for your great faith, and may he re- member all you have so bravely suffered. I hope soon to see papa, and in little while we shall be all together again. l have not words to tell you of my love for you and how my heart yearns to you all. I will call to you in my heart at the last moment. Your son. PAT.

 Washington.-A Square deal' for the tobacco industry was demanded by Jacob Werthem, president of the Tobacco Mer- chants association, at the opening of it's first annual convention here. He pro- tested against any further levy of taxes on tobacco, contending that the tobacco industry already is taxed to the limit
 MT. Werthem said the tobacco men of the country paid annually about $l10,- 900 900. or one-seventh of the aggregate revenue of the government from all sources In view of this fact he con tended there was no reasonable excuse for additional taxation as is proposed.
