TO MOBILIZE CIVIL
 LIFE OF GERMANY
\ Tremendous Plan to Be Put Into Effect-Means Heapiug Up of Am munition Such as the World
 Has Never Seen Before.

Berlin, Nov. 25.-The tremendous plan of mobilization of the civil life of the German empire, outlined in my dispatch of November i3, will be enacted into law on Monday, when in a specially convened Reich stag session, the chancellor will in- troduce and the German Parliament will enthusiastically put upon the statute book the act marshaling the whole manhood and strength of the German fatherland
 The scope of this measure cannot be exaggerated
 1t means the leyeling of all bar riers of rank for one thing. It means the specializing of industry be- yond anything ever dreamed of. even in this already highly soeialized Germany in times of peace.
 1t means the release for actual fighting hundreds of thousands of physical able men, now engrossed in semimilitary duties.
 It means the raising of the mili- tdi J lpl LtS Di liC cilipllC lO ulpl - cedented figures. Above all it means the throwing of enough new masses of human energy and devotion and enough quantities of material into the work of heaping up supply of ammunition. such as the world never dreamed of before.
 l discern many signs that the mili- tary leaders have no idea of losing the winter in inactivity, but unques- tionably the apex of the colossal undertaking now embarked upon will come approximately within six months-that is to say-nearly next summer. Rumania will have been crushed long before that time.
 In what direction this stupenduos reserve energy is to be dispended remains a mystery.

RAILROAD GIVES GOOD LIFT.
Will Take Car of Waste Paper to
 Kansas City Free.

The members of the Ways and Means Committee of the Womans Literary Club, having charge of the finances for the maintenance of the Public Library, are receiving splen- did encouragement in their efforts to raise funds by means of securing a car of waste paper. One Saturday has already been devoted to gather ing up the waste paper donated by citizens, and the work was again be- ing carried on Saturday. The move ment was given a great impetus by R. Golf of the Golf Wholesale Gro- cery Company donating all the waste paper that the firm had saved a& baled in several months past.
 Another feature that is gratifying and encouraging to the ladies is the assurance received last week from A. w. Calhoun, assistant to the pres ident of the Kansas City Southern railway, that when advised of tue date Of shipment and the approXi- mate weight. he would take pleasure in arranging for the freight on the shipment to Kansas City Tn this connection it is interesting to note that for fourteen years the Kansas City Southern railway has been a supporter of the Mena Public Li- brary, contributing regularly during all of these years S7.50 per month. which is really the only fixed source of revenue that the institution has. iii other funds necessary to the maintenance and development of the library come thru the activities of the Woman's Literary Club.

Cooperating in Mexico

The reports from Mexico and the
Mexican border are not Indicative Of
the peace and harmony that Wash
ington seems to believe exists in that
region. Two regiments have been
withdrawn from General Pershing's
force and are now on this side of the
line. while the main body is moving
backward to some point nearer the
United States. AS the army falls
back Mexican soldiers are moving
into the territory vacated and are
said to be spreading abroad the con-
viction that the Americans are in re-
treat and are being pursued by the
Mexicans. Color is given to this by
the petty attacks upon detached bod
les of the American force by Next
cans who are called bandits. but who
are more likely to be under the di-
rection of authorized military leaders.
Cavazos. a Carranza officer, had or
dered the Eleventh cavalry under
Major Hawze. to retreat northward,"
after demanding the return of corn
and horses seized from villistas. is
an indication of the feeling existing
among the Carranza followers. who
are said to be cooperating" with
us. II Is some satisfaction to hear
that all of these demands are refused.
II the men who are attacking our
troops are really bandits. then the
work for which we entered Mexico
Is not finished. II they are not ban.
dts. then the Mexicans are dealing
treacherously with the situation. At
any rate II is quite evident that they
are not cooperating nor do they In
tend to cooperate. in the suppression
of the vllistas. and the reported
agreement at FL Paso is but another
ruse to gain time. In the meanwhile
we are adding nothing to our pres
tige by retiring under circumstances
that can SO easily be made to appear
to the Mexicans as a retreat. Our
soldiers in Sonora are as brave and
as efficient as any force OF similar
numbers In the world. but they are
being compelled to take a course that
gives the impression OF cowardice to
n people who are. to say the least. on
friendly to us. II cooperation means
at all. II means active SER
vice by the forces of both nations
to a common end, not backward
Of the one under fire from
he other.
