CONTROL OF BORDER, TOPIC.
Mexican Commissioners Expected to
Seek to Limit Scope of Study.

NEW LONDON. Conn, September 49,
When the Mexican-American commits
sioners resumed their conference today
there was reason to believe the Mexican
representatives were prepared to insist
that their deliberations be directed to-
ward an agreement on control of the
border. The American representatives,
believing that the border situation Is
merely incident to the general condi-
lions in Mexico, had planned to con-
tinue their study of Mexico's internal
affairs. Luis Cabrera, chairman of the
Mexican delegation, presided today.

Their Wasteful Ways and
False Ideals Blamed by
Mrs. F. Med. Thompson.
REGULATION POSSIBLE
BY SCIENCE IN KITCHEN
President of Housekeepers' Alliance
Also Criticises Cooking Methods
Applied to Good Army Food.

Blame for the high cost of living and
the agitation on account Of the in
creased cost Of bread is placed squarely
on the shoulders of the housekeeper by
Mrs. Flora Mcdonald Thompson. presi-
dent of the Housekeepers' Alliance.
Mrs. Thompson has just returned to
Washington. after a trip to Ell Paso,
Tex. and to points near Boston.
Discussing the question of bread,
she says it is the housekeepers who
ignore or are Indifferent to the value
of bread. just as there are housekeep-
ers who ignore and are Indifferent to
the value Of meat.
Housekeepers Need Reforming.
TT is particularly the housekeepers
of the United States who must be re-
formed in order to regulate prices and
accord cost of living with the require
ments of law and justice" said Mrs.
Thompson. Once women in the United
States are aware Of the money power
and business control they exercise
through the medium of good house
keeping they will get a new enthusi-
asm for domestic enterprises which
will give a new impetus to national
prosperity and supply a lasting ele-
ment of national preparedness.

dne standards by which a law governing

perhaps be devised from homegrown ex-
perience in breadmaking 1t might not be
necessary to go to Australia at all for
guidance in that line.
Mere men. always ready to jump at
conclusion concerning domestic anatrs
have urged that the bakers who wish to
increase the price of bread could well be
put out of business by women going to

women of Boston organized in the In

gated the matter scientifically and found
that better and cheaper bread may be
produced by bakers in shops than women
can make in homo kitchens

These food problems are problems Of
business and science. But men must
not forget that housekeeping is also a
matter of business and Of science. and
in that connection the Housekeepers

In one New England town where I

at less cost the inferior cuts of his high

ton of also eating porterhouse steaks

Army Food Problem.
while was on the border in Texas
I ate at the army mess-sometimes the
officers mess, and sometimes the mess
of enlisted men. and, believe me. here
is a situation gravely to be considered
in the problem of preparedness. The
government supplies to the army ex-
cellent food material in sufficient guam
tity. But for lack Of proper stand
ards Of cooking 1t Is a serious question
how far the United States Army would
go in a conflict.
"A movie pan who had been at the
front with Pershing's expedition told
me there is only one camp kitchen
with that expedition. Yet, even in
Poland, the stomachs and the morale of
the men fighting there are maintained
by civilized kitchens on wheels, while
American troops are still fed Indian
fashion from pots boiled over fires
built on the ground in the open. after
the wood has been gathered for the
fire.
This is no fault Of the United States
Army. 1t is not the fault of the United
States government It is the fault of
the women of the country 1t is also
the fault of business in the United
States"

RUSSIANS IN new
ATTACK ON HAL|Cz
Cars Forces Making Deter
mined Effort to Capture
Gateway to Lemberg.

PETRoGRAD. September Is. via Lon
don, 4:35 p.m.-News Of a series of new
battles in the general neighborhood OF
Halicz in Galicia. ends an almost I'M
precedented period Of quiet, extending
on all the Russian fronts except that in
Asia Minor. where the Turks, without
marked success. are steadily repeating
their efforts to launch an offensive
against the left flank of the Russian
Caucasian army.
Thus, after weeks of suspended ac-
tivity, Gen. Brusilof has energetic
ally resumed his campaign against
Lemberg. Halicz, which obstructs the
way to that city from the southeast. Is
again being subjected to the most vio-
lent pressure by the Russians, who are
throwing the greatest weight OF their
attack north of HalicZ on the Nara
yuvka river, where they are attempting
to cut the railway from Halicz along
the Narayuvka to Podvyscke.
Think Teutons Must Yield.
1t is believed by Russian officials here
that the left flank of the army Of the
German general, Count Won Bothmer.
will soon be obliged to give way be-
fore the fierceness Of the Russian on
slaught. leaving the way to Halicz open
from the north.
It is noteworthy that in the first Of the
present series Of battles, in which the
number Of German prisoners taken argues
defeat for the entire German division, all
three arms Of the Russian forces con-
tributed almost equally to the result
Russian cavalry particularly distinguished
itself by executing a brilliant. irresist-
ible charge reminiscent of old-time war
fare.

Square Deal h Matters Con-
cernIno the DOG.

Shorty is sore. He is sore at his
dog. The dog originally was worth
90 cents, and cost $40 because Mrs.
Shorty made such a fuss over him
in the presence of the kennel keeper.
The first week Shorty owned him he
ran away. Shorty bought Sc worth
Of want ads. Seven weeks after the
last want.a appeared boy brought
the dog home, claiming the SIS re-
ward and putting in a bill for 81
for the dogs keep for eleven weeks.
Shorty paid and bought collar and
chain for $1.25.
The dog lay passive on the back
porch Saturday night and Sunday
night. But Monday night Mrs.
Shorty left the washing out on the
line. Some time in the night the
dog chewed the chain in two and
then went out and tore all the clothes
from the line, ripping to pieces what
he didn't eat. That morning, before
Shorty was up, the dog-tax collector
came and collected from Mrs. Shorty.
Then Shorty got up and went into
the back yard and found the clothes
torn to pieces. The dog had run
away, presumably back to the home
of the boy who kept him before for
seven weeks. Shorty doesn't know
where the boy lives, but Mrs. Shorty
says he can find out with want ad.
Shorty knew that, but didn't want
to suggest it. So he'll be down in

HOW HE WROTE "AMERIcA"
Doctor Smith lndited II on the Spur o.
the Moment-Not Intended
for National Hymn.

In connection with the recent
presentation of the original manu-
script of america" to the Harvard
college library by the surviving chill
dren of Rev. DR.. Samuel Francis
Smith, author of the hymn, the fol-
lowing account by Doctor Smith of
how he came to write it is revived
"The hymn America was the
fruit of examining a number of mu-
sic books and songs for German pub
he schools, placed in my hands by
Lowell Mason, Esq. Falling in with
the tune in one Of them, now called
America and being pleased with its
simple and easy movement, l glanced
at the German words, and, seeing
that they were patriotic, instantly
felt the impulse to write a patriotic
hymn of my own to the same tune.
Selling a scrap of waste paper, | put
upon it, within half an hour, the
verses substantially as they stand to-
day. | did not propose to write a
national hymn. did not know that
| had done so. The whole matter
passed out Of my mind.
"a few weeks afterward / sent to
Mr.. Mason some translations and
other poems; this must have CHANGED
to be among them. This occurred in
February, 1882. To my surprise, 1
found later that he had incorporated
1t into a program for the celebration
of July 4, 1882, in Park street

DiSTcDutabIG and RcpTchenSibIe.

Without compelling argument and
casting about for excuses for the
Northern people to continue to vote
Republican, the orators of the G. o.
p. are waving the bloody shirt
and outdoing former Fire Alarm
Foraker at his special stunt. They
claim that Southern Democrats are in
control of the government from presi-
dent down and that it is shame and
a reflection on those who fought to
maintain the union that the rebel
brigadiers have taken its control from
them. They make their appeals d.
rectly to sectional antagonism. II is
a dirty and disreputable scheme
against which Northern lovers of the
common good protest with warmth.
Among them is President H. A. Gar,
field, of Williams College, son of the
martyred president, James A. Car
field, who says it is most reprehensi-
BILE to try to rekindle the old fires of
hatred by such appeals, since the
South today is as loyal as any part of
the country to its interest or any sec
ton, and that such effort is detested
and condemned by all patriots of a |
reunited country. The waving OF
the bloody shirt over deeds of fifty
years or more ago shows how hard
up the Republicans are for arguments
and will be severely rebuked BY
those not blinded by partisanship. A
vote for Wilson and Marshall wi II
show your detestation for the miser-
able attempt to stir up sectionalism.

Eighteen hundred and eighty
was a presidential year. Mark Twain
was for General Garfield, and made
a number of remarkable speeches in
his favor" writes A. b. Paine in st.
Nicholas. General Grant came to
Hartford during the campaign, and
Mark Twain was chosen to make the
address Of welcome. Perhaps no such
address Of welcome was ever made
before. He began:

welcome you to the sincere and cor
dial Inequalities of Hartford, the
city Of the historic and revered char
ter oak, of which most Of the town
is built .
ale seemed at loss what to say
next, and, leaning over, pretended to
whisper to Grant. Then, as if he
had been prompted by the great SOL
der, he Strengthened up and poured
out fervent eulogy of Grants VIC
tories, adding in an aside as he fin
ished: 4 nearly forgot that part of
my speech to the roaring delight of
his hearers, while Grant himself
grimly smiled.
''He then spoke of the general be-
ing now out of public employment, of
how grateful to him his country was
and how it stood ready to reward
him Tin every conceivable-inexpen-
sive way
"Grant had smiled more than once
during the speech, and when this
sentence came out at the end his
composure broke up altogether, while
the throng shouted approval"
