CASE FOR HUMANITY.

President Wilson has had much to
say in his diplomatic messages about
the laws of humanity. In fact, hui
manity first rather than America first
has been the keynote of his admins
] tration.
II there ever were case for the
exercise OF the laws of humanity 1t
exists in the present Mexican crisis.
While the Wilson administration is
treating with one set of butchers an.
ohtre set equally as thirsty for grin

murder American men and children,
burn homes, loot towns and submit
women to all kinds of outrages.
The mayor of Ell Paso well said:
rs there nobody at work in Wash
ington?"
!S President Wilson has been scrupl-
lousy keen over defending the rights
Of Americans travelling on ammuni-
ton carriers. But his attitude to-
ward Mexico, where conditions daily
imperil the peace and safety of our
citizens, has been vacillating in the
extreme.
Nine men constituted the patrol as
signed to Glenn Springs.
Yet it is two months since Villa
and his band of cutthroats dashed
across the border at columbus and
murdered twenty American citizens.
General Funston has been calling
for more troops. but Indifference and
red tape at Washington have met
every appeal.
Now only after duplication of the
Columbus raid is the administration
aroused from its lethargy.
Surely the Mexican crisis is case
for action under the laws of human
ity which Wilson has insisted upon
so vigorously in his dealings with
Germany.
Mexico is without government. Its
churches and its schools are in ruins.
Disease has scourged the country.
Carranza dares not enter Mexico City.

The de facto government is unable
TO subdue the bandits who prey upon
the country at will. Yet the de facto
government refuses TO allow the Unit
ed States 10 restore order and pun.
ish the guilty ones. Carranza and
Obregon are virtually protecting Vii

at American hands might be the
cause OF a new revolution that would
sweep them from power and plumber
But the administration continues toi

1t is the misfortune of these Amer
lean men, womens and children that
they happen to be on the Mexican
border or in Mexico and not on the
armed ships of some belligerent.
Ii they were ON the high seas,
President Wilson's policy of human
ity first would protect them.
The United States is in no mood
to daily much longer over Mexican
promises.
What is needed now is action. not
diplomacy.

join one of these corps; he can stay
out if he chooses; but so strong and
so common is the sense of civic duty
and civic service that he generally
chooses to come in and doesn't waste
any time about it. -
Meanwhile he continues at his
school by regular exercise to develop
his strength and his health.
When he is old enough, small,
light rife is put into his hands and
he begins target practice. When he
can shoot well enough to earn it the
state delights his soul by bestowing
upon him prize
From 16 to 20 he is usually mem

At any time after he is II he can

being batted about by drilled SER

practically into camp.

rifle and equipment and passes an
other training period, this time OF
only two weeks.
That happens every year for seven
years. Then he passes into the sec
ond line of the army, which is the
first reserve corps. Here, if he is
private, he has training period once
in four years. If he is subaltern or
a non-commissioned officer he has a
training period every year.
In any event he must keep up his
shooting. He belongs to shooting
corps and has every year certain
amount of practice at the targets.
In this way the entire male popula-
ton, you might say, is kept continu-
ally in soIdierIy condition and you do
not see the fatty degeneration you
notice in other countries where three
years of youth are devoted to mili-
tary training and the rest of life to
beer and repose.
But if the time he actually spends
in camp and fields training is short,
the training the Swiss soldier gets
there is intensive and thorough. Ev-
cry day he has at least eight hours of
work, carefully graduated for him
until he is as hard as nails and as
quick as a trigger. He is trained the
oreticaIly in school and practically in
the field, day work and night work,
under all conceivable conditions. He
comes to the camp something of a
sharPshooter and much of an athlete,
for so his school days have made
him. He goes away soldier whose
skill, alertness and efficiency have
wrung praises from critical observ-
ers of all military nations.
When in the succeeding years he
comes back for his two weeks, he re-
news his intimate acquaintance with
his duties and keeps his physical con-
dition on feather edge. This is one
great reason for the medical fact that
the Swiss are among the healthiest

The campaigns done; those

been roofing; the vanquished sail
the Salt Creek trail, and raise
their doleful hooting. Now let us
turn to work and earn some good
old honest guilders; work on with
zest-that fortHae's best of which
we are the builders If we should
wait till statesmen state our path
to wealth and glory, we'll be OBJ
scure and beastly poor when we
are bent and hoary. If you de-
pend, misguided friend, on gov
ernment to aid you, you'll weep
some morn at how forlorn that
sort of graft has made you. If
you put faith in such a wrath as
campaign vows and thunder,
you'll be a joke and you'll go
broke, while others nail the
plunder. The easy skates hear
candidates and think it's truth
they're speaking, but all they say
is just the play of tireless wind

to keep alive, and have our daily

Declaring that the materialstic hy-

and defying modern psychologists to
explain admitted facts about dreams,
L. w Rogers. national lecturer for the
Theosophical Society, in the last of
series of lectures at the Universalist
Church last night put forward a num-
Der OF, instances of remarkable dreams
to sustain his contention that the only
difference between sleep and death is
that sleep is the temporary absence of
the soul from the physical body, while
in death the absence is permanent.
Some of Linco1n's well known dreams
were discussed, particularly those re-
corded by Gideon Welles, his Secretary
of the Navy. which included his dream
of his own assassination. He also
brought forth the case of woman in
Ohio, who dreamed one night that her
dead mother told her where to find
certain valuable bonds. The papers
were found in the place indicated in

FIRST VISIT TO PORT IN YEAR.
Schooner Maine Brings Coal From
Norfolk for Filtration Plant.

The two-masted schooner Maine, one
of the vessels that brought coal here
from Norfolk for the filtration plant,
though owned in Washington. is on
her first visit to her home port in over
year. The vessel has been trading
on the coast and recently completed a
round trip from Norfolk to Porto Rico
with coal and logwood back from
Haiti to New York. On this trip it was
thought she was lost. with all aboard,
but about the time that hope for safety
was rapidly disappearing she was re-
ported passing the Diamond shoal
lightship on the North Carolina coast.

OYSTER CARGOES ARRIVE.
Fleet of Vessels Here With Ample
Supply for Market.

A feet of six or more vessels with
oysters aboard made the supply ample
this morning for the usual brisk
Thursday market, and it is stated that
a large quantity of the oysters were
sold and taken to the uptown oyster
shucking places. Though dredseboats
are in the lower river in good num-
hers and the catch is reported fairly
good the demand is so heavy that
unusually high prices are being paid
on the taking grounds for good stock
This combined with the fact that
smaller tubs are being used by the
dredgers in selling oysters, and there
is now but small overrunnings on this
market, has caused an advance In
prices.
This morning it was stated that good
oysters were selling at from so to Sc
cents a bushel, while bay stock was
bringing as high as 81 a bushel
