MExlco,s MILLION VOLUNTEERS

An official dispatch from the Carranza lntellgenc' onice in Mexico City says that fully 100000 Mexcans have offered to take up against the United States That is large figure nation of only 15OOOOOO peo pe with it's ablebodied population already thinned by several years of warfare.
 If is quite possible however, that there are many men in Mexico willing to join army because there hardly anything else left them do Mexican indus try and agriculture are prOstrated Millions are on the edge of starvation Naturally Mexican males of al ages are willing to fight against anybody under any lead CT who will provide them with food and cigarets
 But even the food and cgarets will be problem io Gen. Carranza if he expects to supply 1OcooOo men And arms and ammunition will be far more serious nroblem There is where the United States has the whip hand of Mexico
 There is pretty liberal supply of rifles in the coun try but few cannon and a limited amount of ammunition Scarcely any munitions are manufactured in Mexico Most of the supplies on hand came from the Unite States That supply is shut of. The moment ope hostities begin we blockade both coasts and soI b entrance of munitions any quarter except suet small quantities as may be smuggled in from centra America.
 Our blockade of Mexico will be far more eneeuV' than the Allies blockade Germany because Mexico l. economically helpless cannot possibly equiI GOO GOO men. or even 5OOOOO And when his army hai shot away it's present supply of ammunition it will b tremendously handicapped, while our forces will haV' the advantage of unlimited supplies

pARApEs vs PREPAREDNESS

When the enthusiasm for preparedness paraues began to sweep the country, Augusta Ia' W" among the cities that plunged into plans for great pr naredness demonstration But before the day set 10 their parade came the call for the mobilization or h National Guard That would seem to offer the prepare ness enthusiasts all the opportunity show their patr otsm they could possibly desire. In most of our cite inc opportunity was sezed and began enstlng ea erv Not so in Augusta Aggressive recruiting and ear nest appeals to patriotism of little avail At las reports not a single company recruited up to It minimum strength And the prospects for getting DC vond that to anywhere the maximum war strengt were slim indeed
 The strangest thing about it was that while enth' sasm for the parade still high and plans were Ine
 v gong forward to make that parade the biggest ever according to the Augusta Chronicle, parents bushes men and employers exered their influence to deter me from enlistng.
 Perhaps by this time Augusta has walked up to he responsibility.
 The preparedness" part of that parade VIII surei be a hollow show of patriotism if any of the August companies have had to be recruited from neighbour towns while Augustus citizens refused to serve the country or even to show local pride in their Nations Guard.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-One
hundred and seven noys from Vene-
zoula now have scholarships in Amer
lean schools, and most Of them are
already in this country and at their
studies, U. S. Minister to Venezuela
Preston McCcodwin reported today.
McGoodwin brought about the gift
Of the scholarships and is spending
part of his vacation in this country
investigating the success Of the plan.
He believes it will go FAR toward
Improving the understanding between
the United States and Venezuela.
"Heretofore, many of the sons Of
wealthy Latin Americans have re-
ceived their higher education in Ger
man and French schools and few have
come to this country. This is one of
the contributing causes for the close
commercial relations those countries
have had with the South in the past.

CITRUS PROTECTIVE

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 26.-There is
grave danger that Amendment No. 5
the single Tax measure, will carry at
the November election because vast
majority Of the voters do not know
that the proposal is an ut-and-out
single tax scheme The title of the

deceptive.

urging all Gurus growers OF ooutnern
California to vote upon the measure,
lest a minority succeed IN upsetuhg

would become operative on January /,
1917, and millions OF dollars immed-

and the burden shifted to the l..na.
Public service corporations, now pay
ing approximately $14,0OO,OO0 IN AK
es annually, would escape taxation,
while corporation franchise taxes ag-
gregating $2,60O,0O0 would be lost to
the State.
Clyde l.. Seavey, Chairman of the
State Taxation Commission, declares
emphatically that Amendment No. .

and land values would be impaired
and unknown Mr.. Seavey says:
Mortgage loans would be with
