at any time now And upon my ques-
ton to him, why he led this life then,
he told me this, 81 as well as most of
the other members of this troop were
at one time prosperous ranchmen and
business men and because we were
strong campaigners for defeated po-
litical ticket, our lands and property
were taken from us by the elected
power. We then organized ourselves
and took up arms in an attempt to re-
cover our property. Of course our
funds soon exhausted and we were
compelled to resort to looting to keep
alive our army paid so that they would
stay with us. Consequently we have
not dared since then to disband and
lay our arms down or we would be ar
rested Immediately and hanged or shot.
We would all be only too glad to be al
lowed to return to our ranches in
peace and that is our motive and in
tention now in this way; Carranza has
been recognized by the u. S. and 9th
er nations upon the consideration that
he protect or be responsible for the
protection of foreign property and citi-
ems in Mexico, and If we show the 9th
er nations that Carranza is not capa-
BILE of the responsibility of his posi-
tion, then some other nation will inter-
vene ultimately and our property will
the be restored to us, for as the rec
ords will show our titles are good"
found all the other officers, about
forty in number, to be unusually bright
and well educated Mexicans which has
caused me to believe his story and it
has been verified to me since that GER
tain members of that troop were at
one time exceedingly wealthy and were
large land owners.
They took an early breakfast in
our camp and departed before day
break, joining the other half of their
entire troop at little town at some
distance across the river
Upon taking an inventory after they
had left we found that they had taken
all of our clothes with the exception
of those which we had on, practically
all of our provisions, blankets, cigars,
cigarettes, all of the companys horses,
mules, corn, saddles and everything
else that they could use, the property
loss in round numbers being about
100000 and about 100000 in Mexi-
can currency from the safe.
We do not though regret a single
loss for we are all only too well
pleased with the continuance of our
good health which could have been
taken from us just as easily as not
for an example to our nation

sclatlcals Pleroinn Pain

To kill the nerve pains of Sciatica
you can always depend on Sloans
Linment. 1t penetrates to the seat
of pain and brings ease as soon as it
is applied. A great comfort, too, with
Sloan's is that no rubbing is required.
Sloan's Liniment is invaluable for
stopping muscular or nerve pain of
any kind. Try it at once if you suffer
with rheumatism, lumbago, sore
throat, pain in chest, sprains, bruises,
etc. 1t is excellent for neuralgia and
headache. 25c at all druggists.

YET BIGGER BATTLESHlPS

The battleships that fought for
this country in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war were pygmies compared to
those now comprising the first line of
all the worlds navies. The $4,000
ton monsters of today are to be COM
pared with vessels of considerably
less than half that registry, less
than two decades ago. Now it is
seriously proposed that the next
class of fighters shall be of $4,000
tons, which would make them about
three times the size of our older bat
tie craft.
Britain's admiralty introduced the
era of monstrosity in battleships
with the original Dreadnaught. They
spelled it with a capital D then;
now it is become a common noun;
so common that "super" had pres
emily to be prefixed in order to main
tain it's descriptive quality. Bigger
ships, guns, cruising radius, and
army-carrying capacity are neces-
sary.
Perhaps we shall not adopt the
36,O0O-ton model yet; but there can
be little doubt it is coming. The
general board proposes l6-inch guns
for these new terrors; 11-inch pieces
were the limit at the time of the
Spanish war. Our battleships and
cruisers are too slow, by comparison
with the fastest other countries are
building; so we must have greater
speed. The wide stretches of our
two oceans dictate great cruising
radius and fuel capacity. All these
features can be combined in only
one way: by making bigger and big
ger vessels. 1t is putting a lot of
eggs in one basket; but Pud'nhead
Wilson gave us wisdom's corollary
to that ancient adage about the eggs
and the basket.

an education.
Every advertisement by business
men rings some sort Of variation on
these three ideas. Sometimes the
business mans expression of what he
wants is hazy, and includes every
thing from a "well dressed young
man" to zone with pleasing man
ners" or the stereotyped plea for an
engaging personality" But he has
an idea of what he wants, and can
soon detect it when he sees it..
The beauty of these few theories
is that they do not rule out the man
who is going in for the professions,
or who wants to do the sort of work
that usually isn't thought of when
vocational training" is mentioned.
They are the demands which modern
civilization, and our habit of rub
bing shoulders with each other, and
getting down to business in our
work, have placed upon us. They
are the demands which public
schools, sooner or later, must meet.
The Washington times., 1916-01-16
EDUCATIONAL HORSE SENSE

One more suggestion is engendered
by the declaration of public school
officials that they intend to teach
pupils how to study. That idea gives
rise to the further idea one pupil
might be taught where to study;
and, after that, all that is needed
to complete the cycle is a course in
"How to get along with people"
These three ideas lay somewhere
near the foundation of vocational
training. Educational quacks realize
the great gap that grownups are
bound to feel if these essentials
have been neglected in a school
course, and they supply the need, by
patent medicine volumes, and even in
correspondence courses, under such
attractive guise as mental eff
cheney" and developing personality"
All this sounds good, and clubs
that are going in for lecture courses
on that sort of thing may be eX-
cused if they go sky-scraping for
titles. But. getting down to bed

LEARNING THE NEW WAR
GAME

While they have been winning vic
tories, the Germans have been
teaching the arts of modern war to
their enemies. There came from the
Russian correspondent of a British
newspaper day or two ago, sug-
gestive line in this connection. He
wrote that the recent general Rus
sian offensive has been halted; not
because it could not have been
pressed farther, but because the
Russians have learned the necessity
of digging in and making secure
their hold on every foot gained. They
are now digging in along the line
of their new advance; and not until
they are reasonably assured of their
capacity to hold it will they reach
for another gain.
Thus is marked the beginning of
real trench warfare on the long
Russian front. In that warfare the
Russians, with their superior num-
bers, will have all the advantage.
Their soldiers are being metamor-
phosed into veterans; their strate-
gists are learning in the hard school
of experience all the tricks of the
war trade. They have found ways
to equip themselves with the neces-
saries of war, turning their own
country's industrial sections into
great arsenals, and reinforcing
their capacity with that Of Japan
and America. The world has little
conception of the vast scale on which
Japan is fabricating arms and am
munition for Russian use. nor has it
quite realized what it has meant to
convert Archangel suddenly into one
of the greatest commercial antrepots
of the world, by reason Of its huge
receipts of war material.
Dug in on every front, and super
ior in numbers as we'll as in re-
sources and the universally of their
touch with all markets of the world,
the allies can stand long war while
the Germans cannot. That is the
lesson that must be drawn from the
present stage of the struggle. The
Germans must go on making super
human efforts in the purpose of
achieving somewhere a telling ad-
vantage; and the possibility of doing
this is lessened with every effort
that fails.
A long war indeed is presaged by
these developments; but every sign
of long war is also sign of allied
victory; for that is a struggle pre-
cisely to the allies liking and in
