He HAS NEVER BEFORE

Capt. Seeley Of Steamer Beatty,
Finds Ocean Alive-Coast Guard
Not to Crusade.

NEW YORK. July 1.-THE American
steamer Charles Beatty, which has reach
ed here from Tilt Cove. n. F.. reports the
ocean alive with sharks.
Capt. Seeley says he never before saw
so many sharks. From fifty miles east oil
Fire Island to port, he says. he sa"
schools of sharks. probably several hun
dred in all. from six to twelve feet long
Capt Meyer of the Dutch steamer
Beukelsydk from Rotterdam. also reports
sighting sharks in large schools.
The captain of the British steamship
Merioneth. in today from Gibraltar, re
ports that July and succeeding days
he and members of the crew sighted
sharks ranging in length from eight to
ten feet in large schools.
Although two sharks, each weighing
more than $50 pounds. were caught off
Staten Island yesterday, and fishermen
returning from nearby banks reported
having seen several schools of the
monster fish which have been terrorizing
bathers. thousands of New Workers
crowded to the various beach resorts. as
usual But there was a noticeable de-
crease in the number of persons who Ven
tured in the water. At Coney Island
alone. it was said, at least $4,000 re-
manned away from the surf for fear of
sharks.
Shark Crusade Impracticable.
Suggestions that a campaign of ex-
. termination against sharks along the
Atlantic coast be undertaken by the
coast guard service were abandoned
today by Treasury Department officials
after considering a report by Capt.
Garden of the cutter Mohawk. saying
such campaign would be impractical
BILE and that the only sure method of
protecting bathers was the extension
rof the steel wire nets already in use at
most resorts.
Capt. Garden, detailed to investigate
the shark situati spent Sunday at
Asbury Park comforting with city Of
fcials and resort managers He re-
RDrted that all agreed that it would
BE futile to attempt determination of
the vicious fish either by catching
by dynamite, which could not be used
without killing all the food fish in the
Vicinity
The coast guard officials will con-
tinue to lend any assistance possible,
although it is believed that little can
be done beyond advising the installa-
ton of nets and caution on the part
of individual bathers.

Will We Leave Mexico?

The report from Columbus, New Mexico, that the
American troops to be withdrawn from Mexico
lacks confirmation and seems to be based only
which has been in progress since the battle Of
Carrizal But there many who believed, before
Carrizal took place, that event could provoke the
administration into armed conflict and that if
necessary to avoid it, the administration would even
tually contrive in way trying of course save
its face, TO comply with the demand of Carranza and
withdraw the last of troops from Mexico
In such case it would be demonstrated beyond
any doubt that the president Notwithstanding his
fighting mood and our osentatious warlike prepa-
rations, still too proud to fight" and was de-
termined to maintain his record at all costs including
the sacrifice Of American honor of having kept
out of war.
The withdrawal of the troops would that we
would have strong guard along the border pending
adjustment by the Mexicans themselves their
differences. We would sit tight side of the
line and watch them work their own destiny"
That would all be very nice and easy provided there
probability that there would be such a self
adjustment but few believe there be. If not,
would have to maintain a guard along 500 miles of
border indefinitely and in the end, would have to
perform the task that lies before this country today
Nobody wants with Mexico but to many to
most Americans it appears that a situation has de-
veIoped, largely through our own incompetence and
neglect which can be removed only by war. The with
drawa of our troops would delay but avert it,

Tempe News Notes
OLD GLORY FLOATS
FROM TOP OF BUTTEs
Patriotic Demonstration Fittingly
Honors Birthday of the Nation
in Nearby Town

Americas Independence day was
ushered in nowhere in more appro-
pirate manner than at Tempe yester-
day morning when on the pinnacle of
the butte, 800 feet above the town,
Old Glory was unfured to the breeze
the salute was fired and the Mer-
chants band from the same stand
played patriotic air. 1t was a strik-
ing commemoration of the day and as
the strains of music floated over the
town many a slumbering citizen was
summoned from dreamland to wonder
what it was all about
The stars and stripes We're set to

some weeks ago but the handsome
new flag that was purchased recently
by popular subscription was raised
yesterday morning and it will continue
to float from that vantage point
where all Tempe and the country for
miles around may view it,
The musicians who lent their servi-
ces to the ceremony We're out before
daylight and just as the sun shown
over the horizon Old Glory was raised
A trio of guns fired the salute and
the band took up the continuance OF
the ceremony with a patriotic selec-
ton. A short concert followed and all
Tempe was soon awake to learn OF
the surprise that had been sprung.

The Fourth

In the circumstances of armng for a possible
war; with the concentration of troops in greater
numbers than since the civil war, it might be sup
posed that the national spirit should high
yesterday. If it did not the why il did is
not difficult to discover The edge has rather been
taken off the national spirit within the year or
two We are not as proud before. 1t is
not to make outward show of a lofty national
spirit in the midst of period humiliation
Many of us do not believe that patriotism would
be allowed to be put to the extreme test if such
test were called for We have been wearied by march
ing, in one direction and marching back again. by
terminabe halts and detours and by our frequent
passing of the starting point 1t appears joke

A FINE TREATMENT
 FOR CATARRH
Easy To Make and Costs Little

Catarrh is such an insidious disease and has become so prevalent during the past few years that it's treatment should be understood by all.
 Science has fully proved that catarrh is constitutional disease and therefore requires a constitutional treatment Sprays, inhalers. salves and nose douches seldom if ever give lasting benefit and often drive the disease fur ther down the air passages and into the lungs ~s.
 If you have catarrh or catarrhal deaf ness or head noises, go to Lee & Os- good or any druggist and get. one ounce of Parmint (double strength). Take this home and add to it 1-4 pint of hot water and 4 ounces of granulated sugar; stir until dissolved: take one table spoonful times a day.
 This will often bring quick relief from the distressing head noises, clog bed nostrils should open, breathin g become easy and mucous stop dropping into the throat
 This treatment has a slight tonic ac- tion which makes it especially effective in cases where the blood has become thin and weak. It is easy to make, tastes pleasant mad costs little. Every person who wishes to be free from this destructive disease should give this trea tment a trial.
