Giving this construction, the matter of

think the acts contemplate that the

that any check list is required, ex-

LONDON, March 2-Several members
of the British government urged individual
economy as a great aid to the successful
termination of the war and the lowering
of the burden of taxation before a great
meeting in the Guildhall yesterday.
The purpose of the meeting was the in
auguration of national savings campaign.
All the speakers dwelt on the Importance
of the part which can be played in the war
by those at home as well as those in the
trenches Premier Asquith, who was to
have made an address, is suffering from a
bad cold and could not attend the meeting.
Lord Kitchener impressed upon the audi
ence that the war was not only a struggle
between armies, and that every man. wo-
man and child in Great Britain could helm
in the economic battle
I'VE want Just as many men as we can
get soldiers, said the secretary of war.
We are bound to take all the men that
can possibly be spared from industry. agri-
culture and commerce We cannot pro
duce all our ordinary peace time require
ments. Either the population must 90
short of many things or the army must go
short of munitions
Are civilians willing to let their broth
ers in the trenches endure hardships while
they are not ready to make small sacrifices
of harder work, increased effort and in
creased economy?
Every war problem teaches the same
lesson. First, if we employ less labor.
meeting the wants of the civilian popula-
ton, we release more men for fighting.
Second, if we import less for consumption
we lessen the difficulties of sea TRANSPORT
Third, we relieve serious congestion at our
docks. Fourth, we relieve the congestion
of our railways. Fifth, the general reduc-
ton of the consumption of commodities BY
civilians limits the increase in the cost of
living. Last, less consumption sets free
labor and capital which make what armies
need
Particular economy was asked by Lord
Kitchener in coal, foodstuffs, gasolene,
clothing, liquors, tea, coffee and tobacco
In the course of his plea for economy
Reginald Mckenna, chancellor OF the ex-
chequer, said
If the consumption of commodities of
all sorts continues IN the ordinary course
there are not enough goods in the world
to meet the immense destruction OF the
war. The only way to satisfy the demands
OF the army and navy is to divert capital
and labor from their present employment
and devote the goods manufactured to the
army and navy
The only way to avoid heavy taxation.
Mr. Mckenna said, is for the entire nation
to save.
The lord mayor presided at the meeting
Other speakers were A. ]. Balfour, first
lord OF the admiralty, and A. Bonar Law
secretary for the colonies.

in Sonbrerete for the past twenty
years and had refused to heed ali
warnings of the American State De
partment to leave Mexico. He was
married to a Mexican woman.
Warn was killed on his ranch
twenty-five miles west of the city of
Durango, while Harris was killed
about fifty miles southeast Of that
city. Warn 5 brother, J. Z. Warn. who
was on the ranch with him, is reported
as missing. Whether he fled and is
making his way out of the country or
was overtaken and killed also bv the
bandits is not known.
The killing occurred on the Cacaria
Ranch, owned jointly by Grover c..
Warn and j. Z. Warn, who have been
in Mexico since 1908 and have de-
Tended their property at various
times against raids of bandit bands
j. +. Warn was in El Paso two
weeks ago on business and is well
known here. With his brother, George
W. Warm of Valdosta, Ga, j. E. Warn
was the owner of the Warn ranch at
Clint, in the Ell Paso Valley. His
brother in Georgia is prominent
land owner in that State and president

close of the meeting. not earlier than
O'Clock in the afternoon. 1t is
significant in the same direction that
no officer of the town meeting has au-
thority to declare the results of the
votes so given, it being made the duty
of the respective town clerks to reuort
to the secretary of state the result Of
the votes, not the result in any town
or towns, but in the whole state. From
the above consideration, il is manifest
that the questions of these referen-
dums were not placed before the town
meeting as such, but for convenience
and perhaps for economy. there were
placed before the people at that time
and place, not as a town meeting
wherein only those who paid their
taxes before a specified date had
right to vote, but in effect as
special meeting of the freemen. in
which all those who are entitled 70

taxes. The legislators are the repre-
