Back in 1905 there were iO4
deaths in the United States from
Fourth Of July tetanuB. this figure
representing about the average annu-
al mortality. In 1914, as result of
the institution of better prophylactic
treatment by physicians and the wide
spread agitation for safe and Sane
fourth. the number was reduced to
three. A year ago the United States
public health service expected and
predicted that every yourgstor in the
United States would be safe from this
disease. bRsing It's estimate on what

When the returns came in 1t was
found that boy down in Maine had

boy makes II necessary to again dis

MOTOR TRUCKS


many communities in the border

cral military highway from the

accomplishment without any direct
appropriation by army motor truck
makes the building OF such a road
necessary, and the work iB being rap
idly done in order to furnish sup
plies 10 the patrol camps and to haul
troops from place to place along tho
frontier.
Many OF the motor truck chauf-
feurs and mechRnicians who have
been sent to the wild border region
RrG having the experience OF their
lives. Most OF these young men came
here direct from Detroit. Indian
apolis and other northern cities, and
with hardl? an exception they were
new to not only military life, but they
had no knowledge of this part Of the
country. and particularly were they
ignorant Of brushcOvering territory
like that fronting on the Rio Grande.
These new arrivals wanted to see a
Mexican the first thing, and they
usually had their curiosity satisfied
before they reached San Antonio. as
there are many OF these natives OF
the cactus republic scattered along
the railroads for 100 miles north Of
here.
Many good nRtured pranks are
played upon these new additions TO
the army contingent. In the diner
ent border camps they are initiated
into the rough sports that are com
mon TO the ranch region. The wild
life Of the chaparral, including the
congress. The introduction of the
rattlesnake. the tarantulas, the jave-
line. the deer, the bobcats and an
occasional Jaguar, abounds on oil
sides. and the young men from the
North who came down here to drive
the motor trucks do not find their
long rides trough the sparsely In
hubited region at all mOnotonous.

Who Kcnt Us nn,p

President Wilson has credit for
having kept us out OF war" VIII
someone please tell what Mr.. Wilson
might have done. more thHn no has
done. toward involving us In war?
What reason could he have had for
declaring war upon any European
power What reason has any for
oign power for declaring war on u.s.
Has any such threat been extended
toward the United States. and. II SO.
by whom? European countries have
trouble enough at home. Moreover.

declaring war. says the Santa Bar
bara Press.
II Holland, and Sweden. and Nor
way, and Denmark, and Switzerland
and Spain. In close proximity to the
war zone of hOstLlities. have kept out
OF war. why should not the United
States, thousands Of miles distant
from the vortex. keep out of war?
or has President Wilson likewise
kept Spain. and Switzerland. and
Denmark. and Norway. and Sweden,
and Holland out OF war?
Now. what has President Wilson
done toward not keeping us out OF
war?
He has tabled and ignored Japan q
request for settlement OF the Call
fornia land question. The flro still
srnolders: an agVrayatinE smudgc.
He has purposClcssly invaded Mex
leo on three different occasions. and
Is no nearer the end OF the road.
He has sent armed forces into tho
West Indies, and threatens intcrvcn-
ton in the little island republics.
He has sent ultimatums to Ger
many. Intending to leave but one
course open: but he has been out
generated. Automatically. by BCr-
Inns foreign office.
There is Just one reason why we
are at peace with Germany. and that
is because Germany does not want
war, at this time, with the United
States. Mr. Wilson threw down the
gauntlet. Kaiser William would not
pick II up.
Cool and candid analysis of the
facts proves that we are out OF war
not because of the president, hut in
spite OF him.
