 Prosperity unprecedented prevails among the horse raisers and deal CTS of the states of Illinois, Iowa and Missouri, on account of their contigulty to the local markets The dealers of other states however, are sharing the profits accruing from the expenditure of such large sum of money for live stock

SAYS MEXICAN PEACE
 IS IMPOSSIBLE
CARDINAL PREDICTS CONTlNU- ANCE OF WAR UNDER
 CARRANZA.

BALTIMORE, Jan 9.-Cardinal Gibbons says that absolute peace in Mexico is impossible under the rule of provisional President Venustiano Carranza. He predicts outbreaks from time to time on the part of the people of that country, even though for the present Carranza seems to be practically in complete control of the situation
 The reason given by Cardinal Gibbons is that Carranza will not give the country religious freedom. He says that that was the downfall of the Diaz regime, and that 1t is impossible for such a condition to exist anywhere under the present standards of civilization.
 It is a well known fact that Cath olics predominate numerically in Mexico as far as religious sects are concerned Under the Diaz rule the Catholic church was not allowed to hold property and. although Por- firio Diaz ruled for many years under those conditions, his final downfall was practically due to the followers of the Catholic faith.
 Just so will 1t be with Carranza, according to the opinion of Cardi- nal Gibbons,

 Is Communicated
