I've got a question I've been saw
ing to ask you ever since you were
here last Thursday night" shouted
Jimmy as Uncle Harry came up the
walk to the house.
That sounds intercsting-lets
hear it" said Uncle Harry.
why didn't the United States and
Mexico go to war;" asked Joe.
Il think I'd like to hear this dis
cussion, too" said the boys father
as he pulled his chair over to the
corner of the porch where Jimmy. Joe
and Uncle Harry were seated.
you know you promised you'd tell
US more about Mexico" added Joe.
so l did, boys, and I'm glad you
have brought up the subject again,
said Uncle Harry. "A number of very
important things have happened
since l explained to you about what
started the trouble between the
United States and Mexico, and how
the National Guards were being sent
% the border and how the army was
managed. And about the most import
ant is this; the United States gov
>ernment and the Mexican govern
ment have agreed (1) that neither
bears the other any ill-will (2) that
the trouble between the American and
the Mexican soldiers was not of such
a character as to Justify either Presi-
dent Wilson or First Chief Carran-
"a in plunging the people of the
United States and the people Of
Mexico in a horrible war, and
90 finally, the original cause of the
trouble-the protection Of the border
from bandit raids, is a matter that
can be settled between the represen-
tatives of the two governments with
out war being declared"
But Carranza sent a note TO Presi-
dent Wilson that had a lot to do with
this settlement didn't he?" asked

"He did said Uncle Harry. "It
was this note that undoubtedly paved
the way TO a peaceful settlement

MISSING FOR YEARS
 FINALLY TURNS UP

Port Allaghany, Pa, March 13.-Keith E. Dalrymple heir to a fortune of $400, coo, who has been missing for eight years, and for whom a nationwide search has been made, returned to his former home here today. He refused to go into details regarding his wanderings except to say that during that time he had visited various parts of the country making his living by doing odd jobs. Dalrymple disappeared at the age of 15 years while visiting pr. and Mrs Charles M. Palmer, relatives of his fam fly, at Salome Springs, Ark. The young heir was found by pr. Palmer in Mis- souri state hospital following the re- ceipt of a letter saying he was sick and asking that someone come and get him. Dr. Palmer at once recognized him and brought him here
 Attorneys for the estate say there is no doubt but that he is the real Keith Dal- rymple. Since he disappeared hundreds of messages and letters have been re- ceived here from persons claiming to be the missing heir. The appearance of Dalrymple will put to an end the pro- ceedings brought to have him declared legally dead, which were to have been heard on April 6.

ON
 AT FORT MORGAN
Unique Experiment in Long Range Firing by Dread
 naughts Under Way

Mobile. March 13.--An experiment unique in the country's military his tory was begun here today when the superdreadnaughts New York and Ar Kansas carried out a heavy lombard ment of the armor test Qualifications erected near Fort Morgan. All day long
 the warships hurled F and 14-inch shells into the Qualifications at various ranges, while high officials of the war and navy departments looked on. The results of the test, which ultimately are expected to have an important bearing on future Qualifications legis- lation, were not announced.
 Among the officials who watched the Operations today were Gen. William Crozier, chief of ordnance of the army; Gen. William L. Black, chief of engi- neers; Col. c. c. Williams of the ord nance bureau; Captains T. M. Robins and A. B. Barber of the army, and Rep resentative Shirley, chairman of the House Qualifications committee. Gen. h.
 M Weaver, chief of coast artillery, and Admiral Joseph Strauss are expected to arrive tomorrow to witness the con- tinuation of the bombardment.
 It was explained at Fort Morgan that the bombardment, arranged by the bu- reau of Notifications, was being car ried out through cooperation of the war and navy departments with a view to testing both the guns and the ar nor. The New York began the firing in the early morning with her 14-inch
 rifles and the Arkansas took up the firing about midday and continued it until late this afternoon.
 It was said that the quarantine sta tion had been temporarily abandoned because it is within the danger zone, while shipping had been warned to keep out of the range of firing. The destroyer Terry came to Mobile late to- day for supplies for the battleships.
 According to sailors in the city to- mi ght the superdreadnaughts are firing g on a work of re-enforced concrete, in size and shape of am 18-inch cube. This Qualification, a newly built addition to old Fort Morgan, is in the nature of a gun pit, containing a 10-inch disap- bearing, long-range rifle. The ships are also testing new high explosive, the denite shell.

SESSION
 0F COMMISSION Public Service Board to Hear Petition of City
 of Birmingham

Montgomery, March 3-(Specal.)- state public service commission will hold a special session tomorrow for the pur- pose of hearing petitions of the city of Birmingham for authority to have the books of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company examined and of the Jacksonville Light and Power com pany for permission to sell it's entire property to the Alabama Power com pany.
 The city of Birmingham, in it's petition to the commission, sets out that an ex- animation of the books of the Telephone and Telegraph company is desired in or der ito arrive at just and proper con- clusion as to what is reasonable rate to be charged by the company" This bearing promises to be interesting, and it is anticipated that the commission may consume sometime in hearing the case. The telephone company will vigorously resist the granting of the city's petition.
 The petition of the Jacksonville Light and Power company to sell its property to the Alabama Power company probably will be granted without opposition, in asmuch as the city council of Jackson vile has unanimously indorsed the com panys request.

SOME STRIKING STATISTICS

In a most effective manner compari- sons are made in the statistics which have recently had wide circulation, especially in Illinois, between the condition of some of the larger banks of New York as that was in 1890 and present-day conditions TWenty-siX years ago. the leading bank of New York, and the one which was commonly recognized as the largest bank ing institution in the United States, was the Chemical National. Its resources were in round numbers, $35, 900, GOO. Every
 day, when the clearing house sheets came out, managers of a'f the banks in New York hastily scanned the reports so that they might learn whether the Chem ical was increasing day ny day.
 Long ago this bank lost it's prestige. In the last month of 1915, the National City bank possessed resources of $624 0O0,- 000, and it was named among the seven largest banks in the world. Other banks increased proportionately, and in the pub lished statistics figures are given to show what that increase has been since 1S9O Six of the largest banks in New York in 1890 possessed resources of nearly $14S,- 100000 In 1915 five of these banks reported
 resources of approximately $1, 0O,000 GOO.
 In other parts of the country the infer ence from these figures is likely to be that
 there continues to be too great a concen- tration of money in New York and that this has served to prevent farmers from
 securing needed financial assistance.
 This inference is not justified, in the
 onnion of those who have made a study
 of this subject, by the facts In many
 parts of the west the plethora of money in
 the banks is not only very large, but is
 steadily increasing. There is money
 enough in the banks in several of the fed
 eral reserve districts to make it possible for the farmers to borrow at very low rates of interest. In fact this plethora
 has already enabled farmers and mer-
 chants considerably to liquidate their in debtedness. One of the federal reserve agents reports that the book accounts Of distributing concerns and country mer- chants are considerably reduced as com pared with year ago.
 In 19O0 bankers in New York began to see evidences of rapid and large accum- ulation of money in severa. of the larger cities west of the Alleghany mountains They reported that Pittsburg had money in plenty, and it was with Pittsburg funds that Andrew Carnegie was able to protect himself and snap his fingers at Wall street Cleveland and Cincinnati were becoming possessors of large re- sources, and that was especially true of Detroit, not merely on account or the automobile industry, but because Detroit l is the largest of the interior cities occu- pied with foreign commerce Bankers in 1 New York pointed with pride and some | wonder at the rapid accumulation and | financial strength of Minneapolis, as well
 as Kansas City and St. Louis The in ] fluence of the federal reserve system is 1 likely within two or three years to lead
 to wider and wider distribution of bank | inc
