Last ofhcial information received
at Fort Sam Houston indicated that
while not all Of Pershing's main col.

newly formed Mexican base of Casas

said to be south OF Casas Grandes.

HIGH MORTALITY IN
 CITY CAUSES MANY
 TO SIGN THEIR WILLS


 Physicians are not the only pro fessional men that are being put upon their best mettle at all times of night and day in Bridgeport as the result of the present pandenic of the grip and the epidemics of bronchitis and pneumonia
 The clergy have been active in their efforts to assuage thef grief of fan1il- ies and counsel the sick and dying, but particularly busy have been the lawyers, whose necessity of drawing g up carefully worded and accurate drafts of extended wills have kept them burning the midnight oil during the last three weeks
 Added to the wi1l-drafting. occa- stoned by the fear of death in famil- ies that sickness has stricken. or where illness was cast like a shadow there has been the necessity of pro- curing signatures in probate cases, as many of the occupants of homes where death had =yisited.s have been iILs This duty has called lawyers in every part of the, city to the utmost ends of Bridgeport
 In some instances. it is reported among lawyers, that they have drawn more wills In two weeks than In an equal number of years. One reported that he had drawn 20 wills iii the course of a week.

suffer for a lack of food the problem of relief became acute. The coun- try was not German, therefore the Germans refused to feed the Belgians while the latter refused to admit food for the feeding of the Germans. An effort was made to separate the two, but they were found so mixed, living in the same house, members of the same family and many speaking the I same tongue, that any separation was impossible. It was found that all or none must be fed. And moreover in the original dispute the Neutres seem to have been forgotten. Finally a trough com promise was made whereby of the whole country with bread while Germany furnished them with meat, potatoes and butter.
 In attempting to feed the Moresnet people the commission faces some problems out of all proportion to the size of the country. Under it's agree ments with the various belligerents it must if possible only import food from neutral countries, but the iron tier of Moresnet with Holland is the apex of a triangle without roads and for obvious reasons Germany does not desire any communication to be established from that direction.
 Some idea, of the difficulty of get ting into Moresnet may be gained from the following description of the trip which two of the delegates of the Commission made to the country
 fsIn order to reach Moresnet we hourneyed by automobile from Liege for about two hours to some of the most beautiful districts in the Ar deunes, mounting gradually higher un- til at last on the opposite side of a
 little stream the black and white strip ed bars across the bridge announced that we had reached the border. The stripe also told us that this was PruS-- sian territory. We stopped and show ed our passp orts. The English speaking German officer objected that they were not vised for Prussian ter ritory. On telling him that we were on a tour of inspection and did not desire to enter Prussian territory, he explained that to reach Moresnet Neu- tres we would have to cross about twelve feet of Prussian soil We fin ally found that by climbing fence we could reach the country without invading Prussia The officer, how ever,s objected, and at last we d1seoV- cred that half of the road was neu- tra1f while the other half was Prus- sian We offered to keep the auto mobile on, the wrong side of, the road and thus evade the Prussian territory. After a long wait occupied with much teIephoning we were permitted 10, cross the twelve feet of Prussian ter ritory with unvised passports. proyad- ed a German officer was in attend ance. The gate was lifted, we entered Prussia and turning sharply to the left began climbing the hill in Moresnet We reached the home of the president of the relief committee who IS also t47e rnanagerf of the Viei11e Montague Comnany. and not until we asked him for an explanation of our difficulty in reaching him did WE learn that we were in no country that we had ever heard about.

The Mod PepuIar sin.

The most popular sin, according to high authority, is seIf1shness. At least this was the conclusion reached by a number of prominent public men, in cluding lawyers, editors, religious workers and others in. response to an inquiry of Rev. Dr. Reisner of Grace Methodist Episcopal church, in New York, What is the most popular sin and the best method to offset it?" Of all the ignoble traits of humanity seldshness works the greatest evil. It finds it's root in envy, malice, extrava- gance and it's fruit in sin. If we could annlyze the causes of crime, of poverty, of wretchedness and of war itself we would find at the bottom of them all the evil spirit of a selfish purpose. The best text for the preacher today is "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars and unto God the things that are Gods. s.''-Leslie's.

No ambassador can be arrested or sued for debt. However much he may get credit, or even defraud trad0s- man, he cannot be prosecuted. It Is the same with an ambassadors wife.
