paid extra wages on condition that
they they submitted to the usual rules
in force on British vessels Of war.
These included flogging under certain
circumstances, and it is said that in
consideration of the additional sum
paid by Lord Marlborough some of the
crew cheerfully submitted to the oc-
casional application of the cat-o'-nine-
tails. Indeed, before the Falcon left

cordially signed a paper setting forth

Cleanup Day.

Members Of the Indiana national
guard in camp at Llano Grande, Tex,
have not been able to wash or change
their clothes as often as would be done
otherwise. Therefore, in order to have
the men put up their best appearance
for inspection, a general order was
given making one afternoon a time for
cleanup. While the men were obtain
ing that virtue next to godliness their
apparel in some cases was novel. Some
wore "blue denims" (or overalls and
jumpers), others wore nondescript ma
terials, and some were attired only in
pleasant smile and a pair of shoes.
The camp resembled a cooperative
Chinese laundry. The usual Llano
Grande's serene landscape was broken
by crowds of soldiers bending over
buckets, tubs and washboards, trying
to make old clothes look like new and
signing for the comforts of home,
chiefly laundries and dry cleaning es-
adjustments. Every available tree,
post or tent pole was used as a means
of stretching clotheslines Uniforms.
underwear, socks, towels and handker-
chiefs fluttered all afternoon in the
gulf breeze.
The men have been limited as to
clothing, owing to the fact that there is
a shortage of uniforms in the quarter

MILLIONS ADDED BY WAR
TO OUR HOARD OF GOLD
Within s5o,ooo,ooo of Total Supply of
England, France, Russia and Germany,

The Mechanics and Metals National
bank of New York, commenting in its
monthly circular on the shifting of
financial strength from Europe to the
United States, says that, while two
years ago the four great central banks
of Europe-the Bank of England. Bank
of France, Bank of Germany and Bank
of Russia-held $6SO,OOO,OOO more gold
than was possessed in this country, to-
day the gold supply of the United States
is within S50,O00,0O0 of the combined
holdings Of the four central reservoirs
of Europe.
The change that has come about is
little short of wonderful, the circular
adds, and by reason of that change
the United States among the industrial
nations is the most favorably situated.
with the greatest accumulation Of gold.
Thirty per cent Of the whole worlds
monetary stock of the metal is held
within the borders Of the United States
instead of % per cent as was reckoned
in 1914. Such Is the situation today,
Notwithstanding that during the inter
val of the war three of the great banks
mentioned have used every means in
their power to build up their reserves
and have drawn to themselves virtual
ly all but the deliberately boarded gold
in the countries they serve. In con-
trast with this the banks of the United
States have not only refrained from
seeking gold, but have actually consid-
cred means of stemming its flow into
the country. Yet this is the way the sup
ply of the United States has increased:
Aug. !. 1914. ,SS7, ,OOO. 900
aug. - ZOOS OOO, 900
Aug. 20. 1916. 16..................... 1850 OOO, 900
In so short a space of time as two
years we have added to our gold sup
ply the sum of more than 100000 .OOO
The central banks of the four great
nations at war have meanwhile taken
In sufficient gold only to offset outgo
and to increase their combined supply
by a net amount of $3O,OOO,OOO. This
is the manner in which the aggregate
gold holdings Of the Bank of England
Bank of France, Bank of Germany
and Bank Of Russia have changed:
Aug. l, 1914. 14....................s2 600 0W
aug. l, 1915. ...................... $500 600 0V
Aug. ~, 1916. ...................... $500 600, 0W
By contrast with these achievements
the circular recalls that on the out.
break of the war it was freely pre-.
dicted that Europe would throw her
American securities on the New York
market in volume too great to be alb
sorbed and that our gold would be
drained away and our currency system

|. TEXANS WELCOME
WHO PROTECT
One Judge Says They Feared
Invasion at Any Moment
Prior to Arrival of
State Troops.

P. SILvERS of Mercedes, Tex,

- P. SILVERS of Mercedes, Tex,
former county judge and one
~ of the men who converted
the Rio Grande valley from
IL wilderness into a place of successful
cultivation, has told why the troops
came to this part of the border. And
this explanation shows that President
Wilson, when he said the troops were
not there for drill or show, but to pro-
tect the country, knew what he was
talking about. But for the arrival of
the troops more than $4,000 Mexican
soldiers would have invaded the Unit
ed States and ravaged the Rio Grande
valley.
I'VE had been having bandit raids
and were calling for soldiers to protect
u.s." Silvers said, land finally we got
some. There were perhaps 5000 sol
diers in the valley, SO scattered at diff
ferent points that there were only
few in any one place. When Villa
raided Columbus, N. M, we had posi-
tive information that another such raid
was contemplated and that the objec-
tive point was Brownsville. Many Of
the citizens of that place sent their
families away, and preparations were
made to defend the town. The situa-
ton was critical. Not only were the
Villa bandits threatening US, but Car
rama was massing his soldiers on the
border for the purpose of invading
Texas. He had about $4,000 troops
spread along the border from Mata-
moros, opposite Brownsville, to Rey-
nosa, and between that point and Car
mago troop trains of soldiers were
seen moving. These troops were un-
der command of General Nafarrate,
whose hatred Of Americans is notori-
Gus, and a crisis was imminent. Gen
eral Funston, knowing the conditions,
rushed the state troops to the border
and that is why they have been strung,
along the Rio Grande valley. 1t was
to stop an invasion of the United
States by Mexico, and the presence of
the troops is what is keeping peace on
the main border even now.
There are plenty Of troops to pre-
vent any attack from the main side by
a Carranza army. Now that the troops
are here they are being drilled and
acclimated and put into condition for
service, if needed"
When the troops left Fort Harrison
they were ticketed for Brownsville,
but at Springfield, Mo-, they were Or
dered to Mercedes, and the outcome
of it was that the small number of
regulars at Mercedes was not enough
to prevent an invasion, and the state
troops were hurried there for fighting
purposes if the Mexicans made an at
tack.

As to Eating.

According to Major Austin of the
state of Washington troops, few rules
of diet can be laid down which if ad.
hered to will enable every man to keep
himself in the best of physical condi-
ton:
First.-Eat only at mess time, three
times day, and nothing but issued ra.
tion or authorized substitute therefor
prepared and served with the mess.
Second.-Keep all organs of the body
functiOning normally.
Third.-Do not undertake severe bod.
lily exertion Immediately before or i'm.
mediately following a meal
Fourth.-Do not drink large quanti-
ties Of cold water when heated by ex-
ertion, only small quantities. Do not
drink ice water in large quantities
ever, only a swallow or two at a time
and not at all if heated The same
rule applies to other cold drinks.
Fifth.-Do not overeat. Too little is
less harmful than too much. Stop eat
ing before there is an uncomfortable
sense of fullness. no matter how appe-
tizing the mess may be. Extras should
be as a substitute for. not an addition
to, the articles of the regular mess.
Sixth.-Keep the mouth and teeth
well cleaned.
Too many rules lead to confusion. If
these few are followed and all the care
which they imply carried out the train.

Superstitions About Hares.

There have been at various periods
all manner Of queer superstitions
about hares, which would seem to in.
dicate that the believers were them
selves madder than any hare that ever
gamboled in March. Its brains were
believed to make children's teeth come
quickly and painlessly; those who ate
its flesh became lovely and gracious
for week after; waistcoat made Of
hare's skin Strengthened the bodies
both Of young and old. etc. Even to-
day there are those who take as an
evil omen the crossing Of the road be-
fore them by this most innocent Of

Why He Joined Army.
