DO NOT EXPECT WAR
SOLDIER JUST RETURNED FROM
MEXICAN BORDER TALKS OF
CONDITIONS THERE.

Just returned from the scene OF
recent hostilities along the Mexican
border, Howard Waite. until a few
days ago a member Of the machine
gun company of the Twenty-sixth in
fantry, United States army. said that
neither soldiers or civilians i'm the
districts being p|atrolled by troops,
anticipate a clash between this coun-
try and the CarranZa government.
Mr.. Waite said that during the little
more than three years he had bean
a member of Uncle Sans regulars in
southern Texas, he had learned that
M~exicans. as a class. are not wholly
to be depended upon, but at the pres
ent time there has been little TO indi-
cate that the Mexicans are DESTROYS
of showing a united front TO the
United States.
Mr.. Waite is a resident of Bassett,
la. He came TO Madison direct from
San Jose, Cal. in a car brought from
the coast by Ed Smith. of this city.
He was given his discharge from his
company which has been stationed at
H~arlinger, Tex, about twenty-five
miles northwest of Brownsville.
Mr.. Waite told that for the last
few months his company has been
engaged largely in outpost duty. He
said there had been no serious cas-
ualties among his comrades since the
recent Villa uprising, but that six of
his fellow troopers had been shot by
Mexicans during the late summer
and early fall.
Mr.. Waite said hat section of the
border country in which he is station
ed is a fertile one. but that up until
a few days ago there had been no
rainfall since last August.

THE DEMISE OF JOHN Il. CORN.
John Barleycorn is dying now,

John Barleycorn is dying now,
Stand by with bated breath;
He's dying hard, the poor old wretch,
None should regret his death.
He's lived too long on sins of men,
And tears of women, too.
He's robbed the children of their
rights,
Despite what all could do.
He's robbed the store and workshop,
too,
He's robbed the mine and farm,
He's made the world a tipsy place,
And all have felt his harm.
He's made the honest mar a thief,
The wisest man a fool,
He's turned the head of nations great
And made them all his tool
John Barleycorn is dying now,
Well hasten his demise.
We've got him measured for his
grave,
And now we know his size.
Rev. G. McKibbin.

Berlin.-In the new German Union
of Technical and Economic assOcia-
lions, with it's 900 members there
has been organized the greatest indus
trial body in any country in the world.
The members include architects, engi-
neerS, electrO-technical experts, ma
rine engineers, coal and iron men and
chemists.
Planned many years ago, the com
pletion of the organization has been
fastened by the war, since one of it's
main purposes is to prepare for the
great commercial battle which will be
gin as soon as the military fighting is
at an end
This German union proposes to
work in close relations with similar
bodies in Austria and Hungary, the Ill
innate AIN being to incorporate them
al into a great central European body
of enormous extent and power. 1t is
argued that such a force will make it
self heard in the settlement of the
great industrial problems which will
come up after the war and the govern
ments will be forced to pay attention
to the commercial interests. And it is
also asserted that the military inter
estS of the state will benefit also from
such a powerful organization as the
technical sciences and chemistry are
all the time becoming more important
for the army and navy and the gen
eral defense OF the country

CRYSTAL LAKE IS
SITE FOR CAMPS
Rock Island Y. N. E. A. VIII Enter
tain Boys at Yearly Outing
This Month.
WILL BE HELD IN TWO DIVISIONS
Older Lads Are TO Gather From Aug.
I5 to %. Followed by Five-Day
Session of Youngsters.

The yearly boys camp conducted
by the Y. NJ. c. a. for the boys of
Rock sland will be held this year at
CRYSTAL Lake, Iowa. This site was
used two years ago and is fine spot
for a camp site. The lake is ideal
for swimming, boating and fishing,
and many trees around the lake pro-
vide ample shade.
The camp will be held in two di
visions this year. The older boys will
be in camp from Aug. 10 to % and al
ter this the younger lads VIII camp
for five days. This is the first time
that a younger boys camp has been
conducted and gives an opportunity
for many Of the young fellows to en-
iov a short term camp under the
same conditions as their older broth
ers The camps conducted by the
local association have been very sue
cessful in past years and it is expect
ed that this years camp will be the
best vet. Large numbers of boys have
already filed applications and big
attendance at both divisions is looked
for. The boys who will go have an
opportunity TO work for the camp en-
bIem In order to be allowed to wear
it the boys must pass certain tests in
all four phases of boy life. His hab-
it's in camp, his sOciability with his
camp mates, his neatness and manners
are all taken count of by the leaders,
and when a boy wins his emblem it is
considered a great honor. Together
with his emblem he is given bar for
each year he has been in camp.
VIII Learn to Swim.
Glasses in nature study, first aid,
swimming and athletics are held daily.
Every boy in camp must learn to
swim before he leaves. The boys will
sleep in tents with leader for every
eight boys. The big mess tent and
the camp cooking will be in charge of
a regular camp chef who knows just
the kind of food that is needed by the
growing boy. The boy does not for
get his table manners, and he is en-
couraged in the acts of a real gentle
man The evening cOmpfire is a great
instruction in the modern camp and

French Abolish Markets.

Paris correspondence of the As
sociated Press. 1.-The municipal coun-
Gil of Paris is considering a PROPOSE
ton for the removal of the "Halles"
central markets-frOm the center of
the city to the outskirts, along the
line of the present fOrtifications.
The great wall of Paris, with its
meats and easements, was doomed TO
destruction after its uselessness was
demonstrated in 1S70-71- Its disap-
peaTance viii leave a broad space
available for all kinds of public i'm
proyements, including parks, play
grounds, sporting arenas and boule-
wards. A new hospital to replace the
Beaujon hospital will be erected near
the Neuilly section and farther north
and east, in close proximity to the
Saint Martins canal, it is suggested,
a location can be provided for the mar
kets where they can be reached di-
rectly by water and rail, reducing by
more than half the cost Of rehandling
the provisions Of Paris.

organized somewhat on the lines of

GLASGOW hills of Scotland are
dotted with moss pickers, women and
boy scouts in search of an added COM
fort for the wounded soldiers. Ac-
cording to the medical authorities,
turf moss, on account of its elasticity
and great properties for sucking up
liquids, forms a most useful dressing
for open wounds. 1t may also be used
as padding for splints.
After the moss is picked it is COW
cred with absorbent cotton gauze at
various Red Cross depOts and sent off
to headquarters in London. Every
day big packages arrive there, telling
silently of long days spent in all kinds
of weather in search of the moss. In
many places working parties of wo-
men. who are not skilled with their
needle, go out for the day, coming
back in the dusk of evening with great
baskets full.

BOAT TOO SLOW FOR
THE VANISHING ONES
(Wuscafino journal. J

The day was hot. So were Oquawka
and Keithsburg. Likewise they were
dry, like white bones on the Sahara
desert. Likewise some Of the resi-
dents were dry, 50 dry that their ton
CUES almost clave to the roofs Of their
mouths And thereby hangs tale.
These dry ones, who all summer
long had worked in the swelterinE heat
OF the harvest sun saw the chance to
go to an oasis in the desert Of dry
ness this morning, when the excur-
sion boa Sidney. bound for Rock Is
land, passed Oquawka and Keithsburs.
The dry ones hoped on. Then the
blstering sun beat down pitilessly on
the deck. The waters radlated the
heat.
They sweltered. They sweat. They
fumed at the hardness of the boat.
Then when the steamer stopped here,
they got off with speed. They hikeb
with haste for the nearest interurban
car.
What's the idea boys?" someone
yelled, as they swung aboard the car
moving toward Rock Island.
The boat was too slow, and the
drinks were liable to be gone when we
got there, so we take no chances"
