The Latest Mexican Worry,

The anxiety of the military experts in
Washington over the Mexican situation
and the position of General Pershing' s
command increases daily. General
Funston has indicated that it would
be highly unwise to send any consid-
cradle body of Americans in further
pursuit Of Villa, who has eluded Cen
eral Pershing and gone south, because
that would involve line of commune
cation so long as to make it entirely
possible for even small bands of Villa
followers, on sympathizers to break it.
1t is believed in Washington that
Villa mas broken up his command. IL
it can be dignitied by so formal a.
name, into small bodies instructed to
mislead and harass the American
troops wherever possible, to attack
American supply trains when they can
be found unprotected, and to seek re-
venge by the murder and pillage Of
any American civilians who may be
encountered.
Carranza's refusal to permit this
country to utilize the Mexican rail-
roads to transport troops and supplies
has, Of course, greatly hampered the
efforts OF Generals Pershing and Funs-
ton, while all appeals to WASHINGTON to
permit the forcible utilization of the
roads have been emphatically refused
by President Wilson, whose supineness
in dealing with the Mexican bandit is
as marked today as it was when Car

Tagqart a Load to His Party.

The new senator from Indiana an
nounces that he intends, Elm his hum.
BILE way" to stand by the President
The President, however. may regard
the announcement with mixed emo
tons. 1t is well known that Senator
Taggart. despite his high position in
Democratic councils has never been
a "fairhaired boy" at the White House,
whose doors he has darkened just twice
in the more than three years that Mr..
Wilson has been there. Taggart was
not a Wilson man at Baltimore and
Wilson has not been a Taggart man
in Indiana. Consequently, the new
senator's declaration of fealty to the
administration is regarded as a part
of the bunk" which Democratic poll
ticians are handing out very profusely
just now, in the hope that the remain
ing months of the Wilson regime may
bring to them some of the few loaves
and fishes which have not yet been
distributed.
Certainly Senator Taggart has no il
lusions as to the political future. He
knows very we'll that his state and the
country are going Republican next Mo-
yember. He knows. too. that Wilson
will be renominated and that it will
not do to take open issue with him
not on his own account but on account
of the party. Thus, while Mr.. Tag
CARTS public utterances will probably
continue to harmonic with what he
has just said, it is also altogether like
ly that his remarks in the cloak room
and other private places will be on a
level with those of most. Democratic
leaders in Washington-namely. they
will speak Of Wilson as Bryan did,
with God bless you," in the reverse
English.
Taggart's entrance to the Senate also
serves to show the Democratic SUBJ
serviency to the bosses Of the party.
Taggart has ruled the Democracy Of
Indiana with an iron hand. He is of
that type of leader whom Woodrow
Wilson is supposed to abhor but with
whom he has to do business because
they can undo him. Taggart as a boss
at home was no small load for the
Democratic party; and Taggart in the
Senate is no lighter burden. His ap-
pointment will help neither at home
nor elsewhere.

Editors Letter Box
Denies the Sensational Yarns

Editor of the Journal:
Please allow me to use space to deny as
emphatically as possible the yarn about
death and insanity in connection with q
revival in this town. The meetings were
held by three laymen who are personal
friends of many Corinth people, and who
served without pay and at the sacrifice Of
their business interests at home. Much
good was accomplished, not only because
about 20 persons were converted, but also
because many others have found new
happiness in their religious life. Happi-
ness was the outstanding feature of the
whole movement, without trace of any
thing that a student Of religious psyche
logy would call excitement That one of
our Corinth families should have suf-
fered a series of bereavements during the
past winter. eliminating during the meet
ings, had no more to do with the revival
than with the fact that Mr.. Viles was at
the same time mayor of Augusta.
1t is true that Mr. Frank G. Foster suf-
fered a shock at the. close of a quiet, in
formal meeting, early in the series,
meeting in which he had taken part in
his usual calm, poised manner. A doctor
who does not attend church, and conse-
quently is utterly ignorant of religious
feeling, was called, and after a long de-
lay reached the church. He at once dag
nosed the case as not a shock, but the
next day, finding the patients condition
unchanged, pronounced it apoplexy, an
other name for the same thing, and is
said to have intimated that in Mr.. Fos-
ter's condition the least excitement might
have occasioned it. The mans father
and grandfather both suffered shocks.
These facts show that there is no reason
to blame the meetings for Mr.. Fosters
death, and that the opinion of a doctor
whose diagnosis was so shifty and blund-
ering is utterly worthless
The case of the son, Fred Foster, as
equally clear to those who know the
facts. The young mans uncle made a
statement last Sunday. showing how
overwork and remarkable series of be-
reavements, involving cares, accounted
wholly for the breakdown, and removed
all blame from the meetings. The fact
that no mention of this statement ia
made in the yarn you print shows that
the yarn is put out by some one who
means to deceive the public and has no
slightest sense of honor in the matter
Among the people not connected with the
church who attended the meetings con-
stantly were a husband and wife whose
work has long been the care of neurotic
and insane patients. Their opinion Is at
least as valuable as that of prejuniced
country doctors. and they ridicule all the
stories of harmful excitement in the ser
vices The olny excitement has been out
side the meetings. and very evidently due
to the circulation of falsehoods Young
Fosters wife has also had two years ex-
perience nursing in a hospital for the in
sane.
I have always honored the medical pro-
fession. but the conduct Of the doctors
OF this town in this connection has dis
gusted me thoroughly. The only reason
hat can imagine il that the evangel.sts
believed in praying for the sick land that
Christians should make health a subject
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1916-04-10

Of prayer. Several persons who had been
under the care Of doctor stopped TAX
ing medicine, attended nearly or quite all
the meetings. worked hard and enjoyed
perfect health. My daughter had long
been frail and nervous. and during the
past winter developed a serious case OF
appendicitis, and DR.. Skolfield advised
an operation. Since the meetings began
she has been perfectly well. though at
tending nearly all. taking an active part
and carrying her work in East Corinth
Academy. The fact that DR.. Worth is
chairman of the trustees may account for
the Academy being kept in session
throughout the series of ceilings. thus
compelling the young people who attend
ed the meetings to carry their school
work two weeks beyond the usual time
for vacation.
Yours for the truth,

Modern Fire Apparatus.


A census recently taken by the Fire
mems Herald shows the extent to
which the horse drawn type of fire ap-
paratus has had to yield to modern,
motor driven equipment. In many
places where motordriven engines have
supplanted the. old style engine, the
old apparatus is kept in reserve for
emergency. 1t is hardly ever used but
in compiling the figures the magazine
included it as apparatus actually in
use. In spite Of this, however, the
motor shows tendency to drive the
horse from the field within a few
years. In 500 cities of more than 10000
population, it is shown that there is
a total of 1920 pieces of apparatus of
all varieties. of which 1928 are motor
driven. Combination chemical and
hose carts seem to be the favorite
with a total of TO. but with the ex-
ception Of steamer engines, all other
classes show clear lead Many
steamer engines of the horse drawn
variety are still being made and sold,
because as yet the cost Of motor
driven engines is too great for many
small towns, and they are also SO
heavy that some difficulty is expert
enced on account Of trouble with the
internal combustion engine. The CEN
sus further shows that it is the inten-
ton of various cities to purchase sol
pieces of apparatus next year, of which
only 81 will be horse drawn. From
this statement is drawn the conclusion
that motor driven apparatus has salts
factorily passed the experimental
stage. and established itself as the ia
vorite of the future.

The ant heaps of these particular ants
are often 20 feet high and pyramidal in
shape. Cattle climb upon them without
crushing them. A dozen men can find
shelter in some of their chambers, and
native hunters often lie in wait inside
them when out after wild administrator

The ants construct galleries which are
as wide as the bore of a large cannon;
and which run three or four feet under
ground. If we built houses as big in
proportion a working man would live in

These ants are frightfully destructive.
