Voice Of the Peop'e

To the Editor Of The Gate City:
For Want Of Gold.
Had l the wealth Of all the world al
my command
Why I could make the preachers
And every sinner they would warn.
But could bring one soul to heaven
By spending all that I could give
Why II 1 could, the whole Is told
Spirits are lost for want OF gold.
Oh blind conclusions, wrong anu
rash,
That souls are doomed for want OF
cash.

day. they asserted. and the extreme
cold of the Mexican nights has result
ed in a pneumonia epidemic OF serl-
Gus proportions. insufficient water
caused much suffering.
After months of camp fare along
the border. many soldiers have found
it impossible to march on the meagre
ration allowed by the quartermaster
in the last hurried hours before their
departure. One week of marching on
diet OF beans, bacon, coffee and
bread has placed many soldiers under
the care OF physicians and the more
seriously afflicted are being sent back
to the border as rapidly as possible.
Private r. J. Harding OF Co. 4, Six
tenth infantry, the latest arrival to-
day, said pneumonia was very preVa-
lent in the column due to the ex-
tremes Of temperature encountered.
When dysentery was discovered in
the ranks, the medical corps inm e.
diately increased precautions against
the use Of impure water. Sanitary
precautions also were redoubled
Dysen1ery, one Of the greatest terrors
of an army on the march, is princt-
pally caused by the drinking OF I'M
pure water. Boiling is the common
est precautionary measure.
Natives Thunderstruck.
COLUMBUS, March 22.-General
Gavira In command OF Juarez has
been asked by American army officers
to cooperate in the search for Willis
and Gorrell, according to unconhrmed
reports today. Gavira was said to
have instructed all Carranza garri-
sons in northern Chihuahua to look
out for the American fiiers.
Mexicans in the Casas Grandes re-
sion were terror stricken at the sight
OF the American aeroplanes when the
first army aviators swooped down at
the Pershiug base, according TO pas
sengers arriving from Casas Grandes
via FL Paso today Scores OF poems
fell on their knees in prayer and
others fed peil nell to the hills. Inc
aeroplanes were the only source OF
disturbance in the entire incident OF
the Americans advent, it was said,
and army officers had difficulty in
aIlaying the natives primitive fears.
Later. when the soldiers had demon
strated the machines hundreds OF
Mexican poems had to be driven away,
SO great was their childlike interest
in the air craft. Though Villa and
Carranza both have planes IN their
military operations none had ever
been seen in Casas Grandes or the
nearby hill regions before.

Lord Kitcheners successor as headt
Of the British war office will probably
be civilian. but the new secretary will
have to rely upon General Sir William
Robertson. chief Of the imperial gem
eral staff, who was second in command
to Lord Kitchener and who may be
raised to the peerage and become war
secretary himself. Men who know Cen
eral Robertson intimately assert that
he Is a very remarkable man not only
in ability and military genius. but be-
cause his rise has been almost as in
teresting as that of Kitchener. Gen.
eral Robertson has risen from the
ranks. Last December when King
George issued his letters patent Great

Detroit. Mich, June 1s.-Detroit be-
came an enchanted city today. Gro
tesque costumes filled its streets.
Varied noises, from tinklss to crashes,
sounded unfamiliar notes il. busy bust
ness districts. These speclacles. how
ever, were only the advance guard OF
a series of day and night denonstra-
tions which are expected to make his

the Mystic Order of Yelled Prophets.

ments have been arranged but the vital
attraction-"The Night Of Revels'-
claimed leading consideration. 1t will
be. staged tomorrow night as the climax
Of eccentric gaiety. 1t is to be feast
of color, noise light and revelry, say
the committeeman who have been pray
ing for seasonable weather.
The whole convention revolves about
this singular night demonstration. It
Is to take form as parade in which
about 5000 delegates, grotesquely cos
tuned, are to participate. While the
prophets are surging thru the principal
streets of the city, fireworks are to be
touched off from the roofs Of sky
scrapers in the business district. ono
pyrotechnic feature is to be repro

searchlights, flashing thru billiards. Of
confetti, will help turn the line Of
march into land Of seeming fire. The
parade is to disband at Grand Circus

WAR CHANGES VIEWS OF LIFE.
Loss Of Relatives in Battle Accepted as
One Of Necessities Of Present Time.

Loss Of Relatives in BattIs Accepted as
Ono Of Necessities Of Present Time.
Correspondence Of Associated Press.l
Vienna, June 9.--The general state
Of belligerency in Europe has not only
modified the material course of life, but
has had such an influence on tho
psychology Of the public that after two
years. a state Of war has become an
almost normal condition. according 10
woman contributor to a prominent
Polish newspaper
The constant presence OF the thought
that war is the great condition of the
Gay, and 10 win it the prime objective,
has in the course Of the past few years
given secondary place to the inter-
ests of the masses, she said. SO that
now the loss Of relatives on the battle-
field is no longer associated with the
self OF a person but with the will of the
aggregate to win. For this also sacrl-
fees of materia! nature are made,
whose rendering no other cause or de-
mand could hope to achieve.
While the war is not as yet looked
upon exactly as norman state III
which continent ought to find itself.
there is striking stole indifference
about 1t, in many respects. There is OF
course still keen desire that peace
may come soon, but coupled to it in
separately is grim determination to
show that the central power group can
not be effaced.
Fine weather and reassuring crop re-
ports from all parts of the empire have
served to heighten the impression here
that al! Is well. Vienna and Budapest
are close to their hebitual tendency to
look upon life as thing to be enjoyed
TO the full, even If bread tickets and
two meatless days per week must be
taken into account. This has gone so
far as to cause the resurrection of
99-year-old French opera, and permit
merry interest in the presenting to u
favorite singer by an admirer Of par
rot made of solid COLL. The precious
bird is life-size and was handed over
the footlights.
For Two years everybody has been
preaching the gospel that one must die
once anyway, and that little sooner
or later does not make a great differ
ence. Association with this idea has
been a blessing to many. and its reiter-
alton has had its effect upon the
psychology of the masses, SO that to-
day it is. accepted as an obvious in
evita bility to meet death on the firing
line. The condition in question is said
by some to have strong similarity to
the views held in the ancient world on
human sacrifices when these were the
practice and when its victims were
drawn from the population when other
sources failed.

owing to necessity Of replanting. As
was warned. seed was weak In germi-

able and considerable replanting was
necessary. Grain and hay promise
very good. Vegetables promise well.
there Is plenty of moisture. but the
great present need is for much warm
sunshine. For good corn crop this is
imperative. The cereal is even now
behind the schedule OF good years and
higher temperatures are needed to
