Pettis soon after he came back to the and that John Elliott had shot him. Mrs. Pettis sprang up as her husband grabbed his rifle and again left the room. Then Mrs. Pettfs heard a se- ries of six or eight shots and in the midst of the excitement, Miss Sybil, her step daughter, came staggering into the room, sat on the bed and said: Mother, John has shot me"

 Then Mrs. Pettis. driven to a state of frenzy rushed out from her room and started down stairs to summon help. Elliott stood at the foot of the stairway f1ourishing his revolvers and threatening her with death. She rushed back into the room where the bodies lay, opened a window and shouted for help. Elliott jeereG at her and coolly told her that it would do no good to call, for no one could hear her It was at this time also that he told her that he had cut the telephone wire and that she need not hope to summon help that way.

 Mrs. Pettis then pleaded for her life and asked Elliott what he intended to do. His reply was not direct, but that he had not intended to hurt Sybil, it being taken from this that she may have stepped between Elliott and her

MY COUNTRY, RIGHT 0R
 WRONG, MY COUNTRY
(By B. F. Fly)

Mayor Thompson, of Chicago, is SC 1isloyal to this country as to declare that President Wilson's order to mobi- lize all the state guards is ''cheap politics" A man who would give ut terance to such an expression at this critical period in our controversy with Mexico is not half as loyal to the Stars and Stripes as were the half lozen anarchists who were hanged in Chicago for melting ignorant people to riot and other crimes.
 A good strong bunch of real Ameri- can citizens should take Mayor Thompson and all of his kind and make examples of them.
 It is just such talk as given utter ance to by Mayor Thompson that has caused foreign nations to think the United States as a whole does not uphold the president If the same expression were uttered in England, Germany, France, Autsria, Italy or Russia, the man so uttering it would be taken out and shot within an hour thereafter
 It is almost time for Uncle Sam to deal out few doses of the same kind of medicine, and the sooner it is done the better this country will be. Nor am I saying this simply because 1 favor President Wilson's reelection 1 was just as loyal to Roosevelt ard just as loyal to Taft as I am now loya. to Wilson, for after a presidential election the man who wins the race is MY PRESIDENT, even though I may not have voted for him. With me it is: My country, right or wrong, my country all the time"

CALLS MEXICANS TO
 NATIVE COUNTRY

EliSeo Arredondo, ambaS- Sador of the defacto Mexican government to Washington, is calling upon citizens of his country in cities of the South west to return to their coun- try as a measure of safety in view of the strained relations between CarranZa and this country.
 This makes it look as if there would be a scrap, al- though it is only what the administration at Washing ton has been telling Ameri- can citizens in Mexico for the past several years.
 As a call to strictly Mexi- can citizens it is a matter of ordinary diplomatic proceed ure and nobody should feel bad about it. The call might as we'll be needed also, how ever, by any Spanish-Ameri- can hyphenates who are not satisfied with life in the good old U. s. A., as it is lived. We believe that there are few such.

 Perhaps he was deluded by reading the history of the United States, showing that patriots, or nativiStS, prefer red death, chains and Slav- cry to foreign domination and took the hazard with en- thuSiaSm.
 Perhaps he was carried away by the fatuous speech of Patrick Henry.

WILSON IS GUILTY

It is charged by the Ger man-American propagandiSts that President Wilson is a nativiSt, says theTucson Star. It is useless for Democrats or Americans to deny it.
 They had best meet the is- sue bravely, urge any plauSi- ble explanations which they may and throw themselves on the mercy of the country.
 In bringing this charge the German Americans have found the presidents most vulnerable spot. There is documentary evidence to support the charge, so it will be seen that Democrats, and Americans, would be wasting time and exposing them selves to foreign ridicule if they sought to disprove the charge.
 A nativist, it appears, is an American who believes in American institutions and who prefers them frankly to the kultur of any foreign na- ton. He gives his allegiance to no country except Ameir- ca. He insists that a citizen cannot be loyal to America if he does not hold that the in- tereStS of America are first to be considered. He be- lieveS that Americans are en- titled to exercise rights which are accorded them by the law of nations.
 Wilson stands convicted of all these things. The case off the German-Americans isl complete. Not only is he a nativiSt, but he is an anti hyphenate, so it will be seen that his crime has been de- liberate.
 It is true, however, that there are eXtenuating cir cumStanceS. For instance, he was born in the United |

CARRANZA IS A ROUND PEG IN A SQUARE
 HOLE

Genearl Carranza has tri- fled over-long with a matter which he is not big enough to understand or to manage and now he finds himself confronted with the ultimate aspect of it and he must de- eide for the generations ot MexicanS. If he makes war upon the United. States he will rob that European mon- arch of the title of The Big geSt Fool in ChritSendom. "
 Unfortunately, his previous actions do not give assurance that he is not deliberately a candidate for the honor.
 The regret is that he has placed himself in the position where he must answer for all Mexico. It is criminal that he and his subordinates have told the people of Mexico that Americans are towards, that England has already pro- tested against American in- tervention in Mexico and that Latin-America will stand with Carranza.
 Mexico has been dieted on lies for a conflict that can mean only the deepest humil- iation for Mexico. For Car ranZa it will mean loss of po- 5ition and prestige for if war it will not be CarranZa that will emerge the chief among the chiefs. War will only reveal his utter incapa- city for position and leave him shorn of every peacock leather which has been his principal appeal to Mexicans. However, Carranza is only an incident.

CANDLEMAS DAY

Wednesday was Candlemas day, ia
miliarly known as Ground Hog" day.
While we generally associate ground
hog with something good to eat, in this
particular case il means shat if Mr..
Ground Hog should, on coming from
his hole, see his shadow that he is
supposed to get back into it, close up
the door and get to sleep as soon as
possible and stay for another six
weeks, we in the meantime TO be going
through six more weeks of winter.
We are Of the impression that really
il makes mighty little difference with
the weather for the following six
weeks whether or no Mr.. Hog sees his
shadow. The ground hog is not the
only sign that our old inhabitants go
by, for caterpillars have their uses in
telling Of the weather. A New Jersey
caterpillar student for the past ten
years, says: The color of their fur

the winter will be severe: if they are
black or brown on the head, with a
streak Of lighter color in the middle,
ther will be a break in the cold wealth
er. Last fall the caterpillars had dark
heads with light streaks on their
bodies and dark tails. That means a
cold fall, warm January, and a cold
wind up for the winter"

erpillar, raised by Ned Orvis on his

ARTILLERY DEFICIENCY

One of The most impressive of all
Of the developments Of the European
war has been the use Of the artillery
by all the belligerents. Germany at
the start had the great advantage in
the use of this weapon because she
had adapted her strategy and tactics
to a general use of the field gun. In
fact she had developed artillery of
such unusual size that when these
guns were first reported to the world
there was soothing even in military
circles, because it was considered inn
possible to move such heavy pieces,
but when Liege, Marburg, and Ant
werp fell the experts were forced
to admit that Germany, after all, had
developed something new in the way
of a powerful engine of destruction.
Artillery has played such an import
ant part in the war that j. is only
reasonable presumption that warfare
for long time to come will be domi-
mated by the use of field guns of vary
ing size. Because Of this it is interest
ing and instruc.ing, although annoy
ing and distressing, for Americans to
compare what they have in this branch
of the service with what the needs of
actual combat, as demonstrated in
Europe, require.
Al the outse: of the war, Russia
had some 5000 pieces Of field artillery,
France possessed 4,S00, while Ger
many was the owner of 5000. In con-
trast with these numbers it has to be
said that the United States possesses
only ga, and he chief Of staff has
laid that the government arsenals,
three shifts a day, could not
increase this number, by more than
500 year. This gives some definite
idea Of how far behind other nations
we are in an essential arm. and shows
how iong it would take US to make up
the deficiency. Certainly this is not
a matter that can be left until after
war has broken out And, moreover,
the United States has absolutely no
guns of the type which Germany
found "a effective in overcoming The
great strongholds Of Belgium and
France
Take the matter Of shells. One bat
terry in the present European war fired
:, 400 shells per gun for four days. The
British used 100000 in one battle and
in another used more than had been

Of such fighting as is common in Eu-

This is a most unasSuring state Of
affairs; il sends the chills up and
down the spines Of those who have
some forethought Of the morrow. But
the situation is jus: as bad with our
coast defenses, more so, relatively. IN
the first place the coast defenses arc
not fully manned and in time Of war
only partially trained men would be
thrown in as reinforcements TO the de-
liberalization in some measure Of the
whole. and there is no mobile army
with which to defend the fort from the
rear.
This last is a most serious defect,
for by all the recognized rules of war,
fort has done its duty when it with

Tense can do no more than this with
its guns, but it is essential that ii be

prevent them from reducing i from

But would our forts hold out from
a sea attack? There are some doubt

to make up the answer. II has been
aushoritatively stated that if the guns
of our coast Notifications were fired
