Haiti. Nothing could be farther from
the truth. Not only is there less AZ
rican blood In Mexico than in the
United States, In proportion to popu-
lation, but there is less even after you
have eliminated our black belt Many
better informed persons refer to the
native Mexicans as Indians. But they
are not Indians-as we know Indians.
True, here and there in the mountain

savages who compare with the native
peoples of what is now the United
States, says the World Outlook. But
they figure In national affairs little

ish conqueror came the bulk of the
aboriginal Mexieans were not savages,
but civilized people. as far removed
from the wild nomads of North Amer

This aboriginal Mexican element is va
riously estimated as representing from
one-third to one-half the population, by
some guessers even more. It has fur.

Mexican history. The greater part of

Anderson Declares North Has the
Strength and Brandau the

"WhO is going to win the match to-.

of the hour in sport circles in the
Capital City. 1t has been repeatedly
asked Of Roy Anderson. Fort Berthold
whrlwind wrestler, who is training
George Brandau, the Montana wonder,
for the bout with B. North.
There are a number of fans who
remember the hard match ! gave
Charley Rentrop here last winter and
whom | expect to meet in a return
engagement after my match with
Tony Bernard at jamestown. that
have asked me the question: stated
Anderson last night.
A Difficult Question.
THAT is one of the hardest ques-
tions | have had to answer. In my
fought matches that the Bismarck
fans ever witnessed. I have seen
both boys in action and have had a
hold of both, but to pick the winner
I give up. North has wonderful
strength and the grip Of a vice.
honestly believe that North is the
stronger of the two, but Brandau's
experience will eve nmatters up
Match at the Armory.
The match, which is for the gate
receipts and which in all probability
will be the largest to date this sea-
son. will be staged at the armory to-
morrow evening, commencing at $50
o'clock. Both men will weigh in at
.l5S pounds. Interest in the bout has
taken hold on the fans with a grip
stronger than that which character
lied the first appearance of North
and NOvak, in the first wrestling en-
gagement of the season here.
North Expected Today.
North. who is at Minot, reached
Bismarck this morning, stating his
condition is the best. Brandau is
training daily with Roy Anderson,
who is open to meet all corners at
40 pounds Tickets for the match
will sell at u cents for the ringside
seats and 80 cents for the gallery or

selected some time today upon agree
ment Of the two grapplers.

GRAVATH HAS RECORD FOR|
H0ME:RUNS IN FIVE YEARS

According to his own announce
ment, Cactus Cravath, the great
swatter of other years, will not be in
a Philadelphia uniform next year, but
will retire to his home in California.
The passing of Cravath from the
game recalls the fact that during his
five years with the Phillies, he has
knocked out more home runs than
any player has been credited with in
a similar period. IL
F, Cravath has a total of 81 home
runs for five seasons, an average Of
almost II season.
Starting with II in 1912, Cravath
poled out 10 in 1913, repeated with
the same number in 1914, hit high
mark of "a in 1915, and skidded back
to II last season.
The other great home run getters,
Seybold, Harry Davis, Schultz, Craw
ford and Baker have never approach
ed this tive-year record.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 2S-The
peak of American railroad prosperity
was reached in the year now closing,
when net income from Operations
reached 81 ,O9S, 900 900. onc-third more
than the total for 1913, according to
interstate commerce commission esti-
mates. -.J4se
Analysis of returns for the first nine
months Of 1916 show startling in
crease from January to September,
amounting to more than g. per cent.
The net income for January was 1884,
915.286; for September $107,910,814,
an increase OF nearly $43,000,00O. For
the first nine months of the year, the
commissions figures show, the rail-
operation $2,654.329,647, made up
principally as follows:
Freight, S1.S75,O19,99O; passenger
traffic, 1922, 1j3,9O7; mails, $45,34S,-
600; express, $65,OS9,474; dining car

tells and restaurants, sale of vending
privileges and other incidentals, in
Guiding the operation Of grain eleva-
tors, $6O,414,597; all other transporta-
ton charges, S7G.0S7,6ll. This total,
with the first nine months as a basis,
will reach $3,6O0,640,5O2. Never be-
fore in the history of railroad opera
lions has the gross income been so
great. -
Expenses Not In Ratio
Expenses have not kept pace with
the rise in receipts although they
have measureably increased. From a
total of $1S2,SS1 ,296 in January, the
costs had increased to $2O3, 235,3 1914 in
September, approximately II per cent.
During that period receipts had in
creased from $260054,306 to 1884,

The airship has proved its value in
war many times during the great Euro
pean conflict. Its spectacular achieve
ments have been exploited in news
dispatches until readers have become
stated with repctitions of the same
feats, as bomb dropping, battles in air
and scouting. Another feature of the
airship work has been exploited on a
grand scale in the Bulgarian cam
paign. An airship Travelled from a base
in Hungary to Sofia, capital Of Bull
garia, q distance of GOO miles, in eight
hours. All this was not remarkable.
but the ship carried the Duke Of Neck
lenburg on a military errand to confer
with King Ferdinand and his military
staff. The conference over, the ship
lifted anchor and sailed straight back
to headquarters in Hungary. 1t often
happens in war that nothing short Of
an actual meeting Of widely separated
military chiefs will solve a difficult
problem. The airship which goes ev-
erywhere, across the toughest country
and through the most dangerous war
zone. makes such meetings possible.

If there was any idea in German
councils that the action Of the United
States government would be paralyzed
by the presence in this country Of a
large population Of German origin it
must have been dispelled by the hearty
assurances of loyalty from the Ger
man-Americans which followed the
presidents note on the Lusitania case.
Nobody here had any doubt where the
people of German birth or descent
would stand in any case where the
United States was concerned. But
there has been miscomprehension in
Berlin regarding the loyalty Of Great
Britain's subjects in Ireland, India and
the colonies, and it is possible that
there was miscomprehension regard
ing the attitude Of those Of our citi-
zens to whom Germany is the father
land. There can be as little doubt
now in Berlin as there is in Washing
ton.
