Careful preparations have been
made for the protection of the big
American colony near Tampico. In
numbers IL exceeds that in the can't
tal,, but II is near the sea and gun
boats ana light craft already have
been designated to offer prompt aid.
II necessary "mall LANDING parties
would be sent II open way 10 the
boats.
For the Mexico City problem, how
ever, no such solution presents itself.
II was suggested to one official today
that an eXpeditionary force might be
rushed TO the relief Of Americans
there. He replied that II would mean
moving an army Of fifty thousand or
perhaps Il hundred thousand men and
would take at least two months to
get them there.
Although practically no details con-
cerning the mobilization OF national
guardsmen reached the war depart
merit today, Acknowledgements of tho
word that the troops had been or
derod under arms. In several in
stances request that the state be al
lowed to send rs fun contingent to
the border instead nf the regiments
or brigades called Tor. accompanied
the Acknowledgement. Governor Dunno
of Illinois was one of those who made
, this request.

With this information came also
the statement that the orders calling
out tLe state troops were so framed
as to make 1t possible to compel the
presence at the b)'d at least of
every man enrolled. They were sum-
moned as national guardsmen. in
which status they bear q distinct re-
lation to the federal government and
by law are the fist source for OBJ

While some anxiety was expressed
here over the move, 1t was believed
that General Trevino will not seize
upon It as an excuse for attacking
the detachments. 1t was pointed ou\
that the movement is minor and In
no way affects the general eXpedi-
tionary campaign.

they hide from him. So they

Victor, thinking they had forgotten
the gun, picked it up and started
to! follow. Hardly had he made
move when the gun was dis
charged, the charge striking Her

ting Walter who was walking be-
side him. i
Walter raised up the stricken
lad, and after he had said few
words of prayer, he requested to
be laid down, and shortly after
wards breathed his last.
Walter can not understand how
the gun could have been discharged
as it is an old-fashioned breech
loading gun, and he always carried
it with the breech-block partly open
so the hammer could not strike
the firing pin. Whether or not
Herbert closed the breech-block
while he was carrying the gun,

FROM EX-GOV. SHAWS
CAMPAIGN ISSUES

you know that during the fis-
cal year ending June 80, 1914, un-
der the Underwood tariff, this
country imported 1915 millions
OF dollars more agricultural pro-
ducts than the average Tor the last
four yeais under Republican rule?
You lost market OF that size in
the one year CT the Underwood
tariff.
Furthermore there were four
million men thrown out of employ
ment during the ten months OF that
democratic tariff.
In 1914 we sent to Europe
$19S.0OO worth of aeroplanes but
in 1916 we sent $6,.709,0O0 worth.
Did the war do it?
In 1914 we sent S6,S42 900 worth
OF brass. In 1916 we sent $1a2,-
100000 worth. Do you suppose
thase orders were made possible by
the demands of the war?
In 1914 we sent Europe $o,S77,-
900 worth of explosives. This year
we sent s414,655, 900 worth of the
same stuff. Surely that was for
war
In 1914 we sent out $500 ,967
worth of zinc. This year we sent
$40, 900. Did the war do it?
Here's some products that came
from your farms.
In 1914, $652,0OO worth of mules
were exported. In 1916, si21 900, 900
were sent abroad: in 1914, 3,221,-
900 in 1916 s69,00S,O 900; bread
stuffs 1914 $151, 900, 10 g.,

few items.

Walter took his shot gun along,
thinking he might see some game.
Just as they were nearly home
with the stock, Herbert Starck
came down across the field and
wanted the boys TO go hunting a
while. They hesitated as it was
nearly chore time, but finally said
they would go for short time,
so they started down the creek.
Waiter said something about bein
tired of carrying the gun and
when Herbert Starck asked to car
ry it while, he let him take it.
When they came to the gate of
