In Memoriam.

The seige Of Vicksburg stands
out as one of the most memorable
events in human history.
The suffering of want and priva
ton which the defenders endured
has never been exceeded, and they
will ever be remembered by a CRATE
full people, whose cause they es-
poused.
Among those who suffered the
most in this glorious cause Capt K.
X. Spiers was numbered, and his
recent demise has removed from
among us the last of the heroes OF
another generation.
MAY he rest in peace"

TRIBUNE VELVET. - School
Trustee John W. Eckhart, vice pres
ident board of education, was grant
ed a column of space per day by the
Chicago Tribune, a school land
leaseholder Eckhart filled this space
daily with arguments defending the
action of the nine Loeb votes in the
school board by which the eight
Teachers Federation votes were
beaten. The Tribune note of intro
duction said Eckhart is presenting
the school boards side" whereas it
is only nine of the school board for
whom Eckhart is spokesman.
That Loeb and Eckhart have al
ready felt the force of the lineup of
civic and women's organizations
against Loeb rule is clear from Eek
hart's statement:
eff persons would think and con-
slider the proper education of the
child instead of considering employ
ment of the individual, regardless of
consequences, as the ultimate aim,
they could not be aligned as are now
the City club, the Woman's City club,
the WOman's club, the Federation of
Labor, the citizens committee and
the several well-meaning prominent
but ignorant fOr willfully ignorant
they are on this subject) citizens"
And SO while Maclay HOyne,
states attorney Of Cook county, is
joined in a petition with Atty Green
acre Of the Teachers Federation to
have Jake Loeb cited for contempt of
court, Loeb's lieutenant publishes
The day book., 1916-07-13

the accusation that the City club,
Woman's City club, Woman's club
and the Federation of Labor are act
ing in defiance of law" Eckhart
states it as follows:
For civic bodies, reform bodies,
prominent citizens and high public
officials to attempt for motives they
believe to be sufficient, to take the
administration of school affairs out
of the hands of the board of educa-
ton and coerce their will upon it be-
cause Of public defiance clamor, is
to act in defiance of law"
The one paper which prints every
thing ECkhaTt writes, no matter how
ragged-edged the copy, is the Trib-
une. The last public statement on
tribune school land graft fixes that
graft at $4,000 a year. That is, if
the Tribune ground rent were paid
on a valuation of today instead Of a
valuation of more than ten years ago,
the Tribune would pay the people Of
Chicago $4,000 higher rate than it
is now paying.

mously adopted would appropriate not
exceeding $1,OOO,O00 for allowances
not to exceed $50 month to depen-

other income than the guardsman's
pay.
An amendment by Representative
Chiperficld of Illinois, providing that
when the National Guardsmen were
discharged after the emergency ceases
they shall resume their former Ma
tional Guard status, was adopted with
out objection.
One agreed upon by Representatives
Mann and Hay provided that the Ma
tional Guard drafted should serve for
the period Of the emergency, mot ex-
ceeding three years." unless sooner
discharged.
Questioned by Republican Leader
Mann and others, Mr.. Hay told the
House that the resolution did not con-
template state Of war, but that the
mere fact Of the introduction of the
resolutions recommended to him by
the war department "shows that IN
the opinion of the executive the emer-
gency does exist, and that this reso-
luton absolutely is necessary to meet
the emergency"

All Troops Forward.

Washington, June 24.-Secretary ol
War Baker late yesterday Afternoon
issued orders to every department
commander to send his militia forces
to the border as rapidly as he ra;
equip them.
The first state troops to Iro"c un
der these orders probably will be from
New York. Other state militia Iikel,
to follow closely are Indiana, Illinois
and Wisconsin. s.
A high official said h did not be.
'lieve any of the forces could start be-
fore Monday.
The orders to the department COM
manders, already in the hands Of
many of the state militia heads, di.
rect them not to delay dcnarture be-
cause of the shortage oe field trans.
portation-which includes horses
mules, wagon and auto trucks
At the war department no informa-
ton can be had as to the exact readi-
ness Of the militia organizations OF
any state. and for this reason it can
not be told how soon the first of the
guardsmen will be On their way to tha
border.
It is probable that in many states
it will be matter Of several days
before the officers in charge consider
their forces reasonably ready" since
this order is interpreted as meaning
that the men should be somewhat sea-
soned in camp before being sent south
Ell Paso, June 24.-The Mexican
government stated that fully million

day.

Mexicali Is Anxious
That Peace Be Kept

and the gradual tendency is to elimi-
nate the tough features.
1t seems to have been the ambition
of Governor Cantu and his associates
to build city having modern insti-
tutions which will rank with the best
to be found anywhere, and it is not
strange that after all this they should
be anxious to maintain peace.
There are rumors afloat that it is
the intention of Governor Cantu to
declare Lower California an indepen-
dent state in case of war. In that
event it would be natural for him to
put the state under the protection of
the United States, thus at once doing
away with any possibility Of friction
and opening the way for harmony be-
tween the two communities which are
so closely related.
Governor Cantu in that case would
be abundantly able to maintain peace
below the line and the work on the
irrigation system could go forward
even better than in the past, because
the governor would not be hampered
in assisting in the work by the tariff
laws of Mexico, under which he has
been compelled to work in the past.

Seventh Was Ready.

Los Angeles, June 24.-Intense ac-
tivity marked the movements Of the
members Of the Seventh regiment, N.
G. c., as they prepared to entrain
for the border. :
For days both officers and men had
waited impatiently for the order that
came from Washington. Without 60
ing through the formality of pro-
ceeding to the state mobilization camp
at Sacramento, the guardsmen will
move directly from Los Angeles to the
border, according to Secretary Of War
Bakers order.
When the order came six companies
of infantry of the Seventh regiment
had reached the minimum strength
of 65 or more officers and men. Bat
terry A, First artillery, also was pre-
pared to obey the order.

Few people on this side OF the line
appreciate the situation in Mexicali.
There are certain features Of that town
Of which great deal has been said,
but the fact is not realized that ua-
der the administration of Governor
Cantu there have been extensive I'M
provements, leading the town toward
a much higher status.
For instance, there is now being
completed one Of the finest school
buildings in this region in the town
of Mexicali 1t is for high school use
and is built entirely Of reinforced con-
crete, and will have equipment for
1000 pupils. 1t is intended to make
it the chief center OF educarlon for
the Northern district Of Lower Cali
fornia.
Another fine building of reinforced
concrete is . municipal slaughter
house, where any person can take
meat animals for killing. This is fine
ly equipped with modern sanitary de-
vices.
A $4,000 wireless station has been
erected, through which the town is
kept in communication with Ensenada,
where there is another station.
A fine city emergency hospital has
been built with capacity for twenty
five patients and it is planned to at
once build hospital with capacity
for 800 patients.
The plaza, recently completed and
covering about two city squares, is
prettily laid out with cement walks
and curbs throughout the grounds and
around them, with a band stand in
the center, and the grounds have been
planted to trees which will eventually
make this beautiful spot.
Two evenings each week the Twen-
ty-fifth infantry band gives free
concert in the plaza.
The town, which few years ago
consisted of nothing but dives, is now
the home of several hundred families,

Prisoners in Penitentiary.
Chihuahua. June 24.-The sew
enteen American negroes captured
at Carrizal, in the battle with the
Tenth cavalry troops. have. been
placed in the penitentiary here,
and there have been no arrange
ments made for taking them to
Juarez to be surrendered to the
American authorities.
Lem Splitzbury, the Mormon
scout who was captured at Car
rizal, is also in prison.
The prisoners were assaulted
by Mexican civilians as they were
being transferred from the train
to the penitentiary. They were fin
ally landed safely behind the
prison walls, where they are being
well treated, according to the au.
thorities.

Two Troops yYined Out.

Two Troops Wiped Out.
San Antonio, Tex, June 24.-That
two troops Of the Tenth cavalry unde,
Captain Boyd were practically wiped
out by the attack of Mexicans under
General Gomez at Carrizal, June 81,
is indicated in fragmentary reports re-
ceived by General Funston from Gen.
eral Pershing.
The message stated that seven sur
vivors in all, including those who ar
rived last night, were all that reached
the main column.
According to the story of the sur
vivors, a mounted force of MeXicans
made a charge from the flank at the
conclusion Of a parley between Boyd
and Gomez and at the same time a
machine gun opened fire from the
front.
. Boyd had ordered his men to dis
mount as the machine gun opened fire,
and the combined effect of the Mexi-
can charge, the machine gun fire am
the rifle fire from the garrison at
Carrizal, which had almost surround
ed the American force, stampeded the
horses. No details We're made known
to Pershing as to whether the Mexi-
can charge was checked.
With their mounts gone and with
out means Of escape, hemmed in Oh
three sides under the fire of an over
whelming force, the fate Of the little
detachment is believed here to have
been sealed, as only the most desper-
ate bluff and valor could have extri-
Gated them. Reports as to Mexican
forces makes the number killed from
12 to 40. The number of wounded
should be from So to 40.
The strength Of the two American
troops is not known here, but it is
estimated they could not have ex-
ceeded 100 men. With but seven sur
vivors reported arriving at the main
column, the number accounted for is
pitifully small The report from
Pershing stated that the stories Of
the survivors are confused and do not
conform to the stories in all details
told by the first to arrive.

FL PasO, June 24.--MOst alarm
ing reports continue to come from
the Mexican front, where it now
is believed that the Eleventh cav.
airy, which was sent to the rescue
of the two troops of the Tenth
(colored), have been ambushed
through Mexican treachery ut
Carrizal, where they are believed
to have become engaged with the
enemy. This is not verified, but
the troops have not been heard
from since they were sent on the
relief expedition, and circumstan-
ces seem to bear out the fear.
The Carranza troops have made
three attacks on Pershing's line Of
communications in the last two
days, and Americans wounded in
these fights are now on their way ,
to Columbus.
These attacks were made at
Cruces Canyon, PulpitO pass and
neam Namiquipa.
Pershing sent troops to the aid
Of the trucks and drove the Mex
leans back.
1t is believed the intention Of
the MeXicans was to capture
American supply trains and seize
vantage points along the trail
over which Pershing's supplies
must be sent.

along the border probably will not be

exact locations will not be divulged
even then, as Funston does not wish

Rushing to War.

Washington, June 24.--The present
generation of Americans has wit
messed nothing like the great rush of
forces to the Mexican front that Is
now on.
The call sent out late YESTERDAY
afternoon for all militia to move at
once to the border as rapidly as they
are ready and the stirring news Of
possible disaster which has come to-
day have put a war spirit into the
people Of the whole nation surprising
even that Of the early days Of the
conflict with Spain.
The individual movements of troops
i is concealed from the pupnc, as the
war department has closed down many
of the sources Of news to prevent Mex
leo knowing all that-is done. But it
lis known that troop trains are being
loaded in many cities and are speed
ing southwark, and that troops not

energy to get things in shape.
The destination Of the several COM
jpanies or regiments is assigned di-
rectly by General Funston, who knows
the weak places in our line Of de-
fense and is filling the gaps as rap
idly as possible.
Almost the last hope of being able
to settle the differences without war
has been abandoned and the whole
thought of the entire nation is to get
ready for the big emergency.
A call for half-million volunteers
lis likely to come from the president
at any moment, for there is no ques-
tion that so soon as war is recognized
as inevitable preparations will be made
to carry out the task ahead on large
scale.
AS it is, the date Of the expiration
|of Carranza's ultimatum, next Mon.
day, will find this country with a vast
increase in the number Of men on the
border, and possibly even before that
time there will be large force Of
men moving to the relief Of Pershing.
