INDIANS OF MEXICO

There are more Indians living to-
day within the territory comprising
Mexico than ever existed at any one
time in all the rest of the Western
Hemisphere combined, according to
a bulletin issued by the National
Geographic society of Washington.
Of the Is, COO, 900 inhabitants of Mexi-
co fully 38 per cent are pure Indians
and AZ per cent of mixed blood, only
10 per cent being whites, continues
the bulletin.
These 5000, 900 Indians, many of
whom are descendants of that WON
derful race, the Aztecs, are divided
into many linguistic families and
tribes, the numbers varying accord
ing to the standards of differentiation
adopted by each ethnologist. Some
authorities group them into IA fami-
lies, with 81 languages and 90 dialects,
while others make Is family divi-
sions, subdivided into 100, and 80
tribes. The degrees of civilization
to be found among the many tribes
are astonishing, ranging from the
abject Seri Indians of Sonora, as
pitably u~ndeveloped as the Indians
of Terra del Fuego, to the highly de-
veloped and splendid specimens of
manhood found among the Nahuati
and MAYA tribes.

GERMANY'S ACCOMPLISHMENT

Not even Jules Verne, whose imagin-
alton evolved that most thrilling of all
quasi-sclentific tales, Twenty Thous-
and Leagues Under the Sea, . dreamed
of a submarine merchantmen to evade
a blockading fleet and bring mail and
perhaps later to take home tons of much
needed materials. The submarine mer-
chairman, Deutschland, arrived at Bal
timore, Md, last Monday; making the
trip in fifteen days. 1t remained for a
practical, hard headed people, harrass
ed by the greatest blockade the world
what a Frenchman had dreaded, to make
heal his romance.
1t befeli a placid, German sea-cap-
tain, of the merchant marine, too. to
carry out in life the fanclful exploit of
Verne's Captain Memo. And mark how
solldly Captain koenig acted his role.
Having brought his merchantmen to
port, as though it were a liner in peace
times, Captain koenig, besieged by
camera men, said to them: Better
hurry up, | haven't had my breakfast"
There is no apparent announcement
that this tremendous accomplishment
will mark an epoch. or that, having &C
complished a voyage never before at
tempted OF conceived human possible
he had done anything remarkable. 1t
was all in a days work. The only ex-
ultation he permitted himself was to
declare the obvious, that his voyage had
broken England S rule of the seas.
Consideration of the accomplishment
of the Deutschland presents so many
angles that it is difficult to see them all.
1t is an achievement quite in keeping
with what Germany has done previous
ly in this wal and a warning of what
genius Germany holds in reserve. 1t
is the revelation of the ability of a re
markable people.

TROUBLE IN SOUTH AMERICA

Word comes from Buenos Aires, Ar
gentine. that Venezuela and Peru have
secretly concluded a potentially warlike
alliance against Columbia and Ecuador,
with territorial expansion, at the ex-
pense of the two latter nations, as the
motive. Venezuela, the report says,
wants a strip, thirty miles wide, of cas-
tern Columbia and Peru wants the por-
ton of Ecuador forming a triangle in
the east and the portion of Columbia
forming a triangle on the south. In
case of war Peru is to invade Ecuador
on the south while Venezuelan troops
attack Columbia on the east.
1t is, of course, possible that Vene-
zuela and Peru may have formed such
an alliance. with such an object, but it
is difficult to believe its probability. In
the first place, when a nation seeks ter
ritorial expansion, there are two rea-
sons always at the bottom-trade extern
sion or over-population.
Venezuela has a population of $685.
0s3 and an area of 500, 943 square miles.
Peru has a population of A. 5000, 900 and
an area of 695. 1888 square miles. The
combined population of Texas, Arizona
and New Mexico is 4.431 1862 and their
combined area is 5o7, 986 square miles.
There is nc feeling of being overcrowd-
ed in Texas, Arizona and New Mexico,
at least there was not previous to the
mobilizing of our troops along the Dor
der, and the population is at least one
third greater than that of Venezuela.
1t is likewise difficult to believe the
people of Peru need more breathing
space to accommodate the population,
which is about half that of New York,
while the area is more than fourteen
times as large.
Moreover; the territory which Vene-
zuela and Peru are reported as coveting
from the existing maps. does not appear
to be quite so desirable as northern
Mexico, which is composed mostly of
sand and sagebrush, nor so densely pop
ulated as the territory Immediately
south of the Rio Grande, which is given
over chiefly to coyotes, gophers, gila
monsters and tarantulas.

that Cramp, the shipbuiider, had given
to the last republican Harrison cam

for half of the 35, 900 ions of armor
plate at 1855 a ton and the Bethlehem
Steel company bid on the other half Of
the 35, 600 tons at exactly the same
price. The Midvale people had steel
works near Harrisburg, but had no
armor plant. and they bid for the whole
5000 ton at So, SOC, 900 less than the
bethlehem Steel company and the Car
negie steel works had bid, but the Mid
vale people did not get the contract.
The navy department could not give it
to them, the Midvale people, because
Carnegie and the Midvale people had
put up 81, 000, 900 for the republican
campaign and must have it back out of
the armor plate contract. So the navy
department rejected all bids. waited
until after election and then let the
contract to Schwab and the Bethlehem

THF LITTLE PROFIT

announced its purpose to appeal to the
American people through newspaper
advertising it promised to take them
into it's confidence and tell them the
truth. 1t said:
1.-The reason we oppose a government
plant is very simple. Even though there
is little profit in the making of armor,
we have invested over 81, geo, 600 in our
srmor plant"
It vas to save it's plant from the scrap
lrile that the company appealed to the
people. But it did not propose to have
the government buy its plant and save
it from loss, IN apite of the ''little loss"
Therein will be found it's great desire
to prevent congress from building a
plant. The .'llttle profit, when inyes-
tigated. assumes immense proportions.
Former Senator r. +. Pettigrew of
South Dakota, in a letter to The Public,
has brought out facts which explain
why the United States has spent more
money for military purposes and is the
poorest prepared of any great nation
in the world. They explain much of
the zeal that is now manifest for still
larger appropriations and the demand
Tor still greater preparedness" OF the
kind that we have been getting and
which we are now told has left us naked
and d~efenseless to the world. The ex-
senator writes:
/" was present in Vienna when the
president of the Bethlehem Steel COM
pany came there and requested the
American minister, Bartlett Trip, to
introduce him to the authorities of the
Austrian government in order to place
him in . position to secure a contract
from that government for the sale Of
his armor plate st $3.50 a ton. AT the
same time the Bethlehem Steel COM
pany was selling armor plate to the
government of the United STAGES at
$3.50 per ton, making q clear profit of
$500 q ton above the price which they
charged the Austrian government.
AT that time Mr.. Schwab was SUI
perintendent Of the Carnegie steel
works and they were also making armor
plate for the United States government
It the same time, and when the gov
eminent called Mi. Carnegie to account
because his armor plate was full Of
holes and worthless, he said that Schwab

company. was TO blame for it all. TN
