FRAN. L. FOR WAR WITH
\ MEXICO, WOULD RELEASE
\ 900 AMERICAN FIGHTERS S

PARIS, July 20.-In the event of
war between the United States and
Mexico or any other country, France
will at once release from enlistment
all Americans now serving with the
French army, who may wish to re-
turn home and fight for their own
country.
The Official decision of France to
this effect was today communicated
to the United Press by high officials
of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Despite the statement recently pub
,lished in German papers in America
that 10000 Americans are serving
with the Allied armies, France is un-
able to account for more than about
900 Of them.
The release of the 70 American
aviators now serving with the French
army would give the United States
the nucleus for an aviation service of
the most priceless kind. All would
be able to place at the disposal of the
United States all of the secrets of
French military aviation, which is un-
|iversalty conceded to have attained q
most high degree of effectiveness.
What an influence the return oi
these men tn America might have in
all parts of the country, is indicated
in the following list just prepared by
the Foreign Office of the original
American enlistments, showing how
they are divided among almost all of
the States of the Union:

AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION.

1t has been suggested that the
Civic Club of Durango can take a
very important part in helping to get
up the exhibit for the fair this fall.
The suggestion will no, doubt meet
with the approval of all. concerned.
The Civic Club has taken charge
of the garden and. flower contest in
Durango and has. been able to enlist
several hundred persons in the good
work of beautifying Durango. While
these contestants are working for the
betterment of the city perhaps they
can place themselves in position
to get up fine flower and garden
exhibit from the City of Durango.
Usually this kind of work is left
entirely to the farmers, but under the
circumstances it is argued that the
Civic Club would be in a position to
take up this matter with those who
are in the contest and have prepared
an excellent exhibit, the like of which
the city has never before undertaken.
This will be right in line with the
work that is being done by the var
ious farming sections of the San Juan
Remember, that the Farm Bureau
which represents the best there is in
the industrial line is taking an act
i've part in the fair this fall. Remenl-
ber, the part it will take will be no
halfhearted part 1t is business this
time.

SOME INTERESTING STATISTICS
Figures Indicate that Large Per Cent
OF People Killed are Trespassers.

Washington, Feb. 24.-In its ef-
fort to discourage the dangerous GUS
tom of trespassing on its property,
the Southern Railway has had pre-
pared some interesting statistics in
regard to the 146 trespassers killed
on its tracks and trains durng the
fiscal year 1915. OF these fatal ac-
cidents, 80 occurred in country dis
tricts and AZ in cities or towns.
OF the victims 70 lived near the
scene Of the accident, as lived far
from it, and the residence OF 20 was
known; so lived at home with
family or parents, 80 did not, and
32 unknown; 1873 were male and
13 were female; 73 were white and
73 colomd; SO were married, So
single, and 34 unknown; SO we're
without occupation, 43 were un-
skilled laborers, 2 were skilled Ia
borers, 1 was a professional man, Q
were merchants, 1 clerk, 1 a house
wife, and SO unknown; 35 we're
regularly employed at the time Of
accident, 20 were not, and al un-
known; 90 were walking on track,
80 "ste1line ride" on trains, 3 kill
ed by other accidents, and Is un-
known; were under years Of
age; 6 between S and 10, 12 be-
tween 1 0 and Is, % between Is and
21, AZ between 81 and 80, 90 be-
tween 80 and so, 10 between SO and
go, 10 between 60 and 65, over
IS, and nnknown; % were intox-
icated at the time Of the accident,
81 were not, and 80 unknown.
These figures show concluslvely
that the great majority of these
lives, uselessly sacrificed, were Of
useful citizens; they were equally
divided between the races, men
greatly predominated, and there was
wide distribution as to age and oc-
cupation.
During the year 1914, on all the
railways Of the United States, 4,7!6
trespassers were killed, S2G lost one
limb, l72 lost two limbs, and 5,G.1
suffered other injuries.
