The Hero of Carrizal

Captain Lewis S. Mercy, the "hero of Carrizal'' and the sole commission ed officer to survive, that conflict be tween Uncle, Sam's troopers and the Carranzista soldiers, will be forty years old tomorrow. Captain Mercy halls from the Empire ctate, but he was a resident of Texas when he de- cided upon military career, and was appointed to West Point from that state. He graduated in 1900, becom- ing a second lieutenant of the Tenth cavalry. and within a year first lieu tenant of the Twelfth. He graduated from the infantry and cavalry school in 1907 and from the Army Staff Col leee in 1908, and was elevated to the rank of captain five years ago. It was with the Tenth Cavalry. the or ranization in which. he first served, that Capt Mercy gained distinction last month at Carrizal.. After the fight, in which Mercy was wounded, he with four men remained hidden all day within 2,0O0 yards of the Carri
 gall inc. At night he started out with the negro troopers, but soon became SO weak from the loss of blood that
 he was unable to walk. He then or dered his men to leave him and save themselves, and they went on with out him. After resting for time
 the Captain rallied sufficient strength to stumble on alone, and at length reached the house of an American about nine miles from Carrizal, where
 he was found by, rescue party Of l troopers. F

Knocking The Temporary
 Y Prosperity" Issue

MT. Hughes issue of temporary prosperity rests upon the assumption that it is all caused by the exceptional European war demands and will nec- essarily5 end when, the war ends.
 On this cardinal doctrine of the Re- publican campaign we find heresy al- ready showing it's ugly head. As an example may be noted an article In the current issue of the Americas published by the National City Bank of New York, on what it will take to rehabilitate, Europe after the war. This Is the most painstaking inquiry on the subject which has yet appear ed. The general conclusion IS that it will take $5.000, 100000 to restore the property directly destroyed within the battle areas. and that rAmeri- can industries will be called on to oo a very large amount of the rebuilding of factories and railroads"
 This view does not stand alone. It iS shared by European business inter ests, which are making their plans ac- cordingly. It is obviously shared by such American business leaders as the directors of the Steel Corporation. who express their confidence in extra dividend acts as well as in large ex- penditures to extend the plant.

Can't Stop Prosperity Flood
(New York Evening Post)

The country seems almost puzzled by it's prosperity. Record figures in everything are being chalked up by government bureaus and commercial ledger; yet well-known authorities keep telling each other and the pub lie not to rejoice prematurely. There is feeling like that which induced Polycrates to throw his solitaire into the Aegean, that things are too good to last, In imitation of this old world trust magnate. corporations are throwing vast sums into their sink ing funds, and swell depreciation ac- counts beyond all precedent. Polyc- rates was terror-stricken when his chef found the solitaire in next days filet- -de-sole. So business men trem- ble when they see that quarterly earn ings refuse to diminish by libation- pouring. Their sword of Damoc1es is peace in Europe. It is to be. hoped that when that sword does fall 1t will be harmlessly, on cushion of re- serves, depreciation accounts. and sinking funds, with general financial conservatism.

must be the view of all who expect that Europe will strive to the limits of its powers to rise as quickly as pos sibls from this vast ruin.
 The assumption that the present American prosperity grows exclusively out of Europe's immediate war de- rnands is false to begin with. But if it were true. this attempt to limit 1t to the period of the war for partisan purposes would have q hard road to travol.-N. Y. World.

OUR GOVERNMENTS LONG ARx

Two years ago Russian widow iv-
ing in Brush bade goodbye to her six
year-old son and came to America to
earn money to educate him. The boys
relatives promised to care for him until
the mother earned enough to bring
him to this country.
But the war came; it swept away all
their property and drove them, fugi-
tives, to Moscow, whence they wrote to
the anxious mother to come and get her
baby, whom they put in an orphan asy-
lum. She did not have the money; she
did not know how to 60 alone in war
time.
Then the man and wife in whose
family the woman worked considered
how to get the boy. They wrote for
the facts to our state department at
Washington. The American consul at
Moscow was instructed to try to find
the boy and send him to America.
Our consul found the lad, his wife
kindly clothed the little fellow, and
with good deal of difficulty they gut
passport from the Russian govern
ment. Fortunately, Red Cross nurse
was returning to America just as the
passport was received; she kindly took
the boy in charge.
But he fell sick with measles and
she had to leave him at Christiana,
Norway. There the American consul
took him in charge; his clerk repeated
ly visited the boy in the hospital ard
wrote the kindest possible letter to his
mother. When the boy was able to
travel the consul put him on steamsr
bound for New York, and arranged
that he should have the personal care
of steward during the voyage.
Meanwhile the proper affidavits were
put into the hands of the commissioner
of immigration at Ellis Island. An
agent of the steamship line took the
boy to the Boston train and shipped him
properly labeled, to Brush, Colorado.
the home of his mother.
A telegram told the mother when to
meet her son at the station and the
conductor and passengers, with moist
eyes, witnessed the happy reunion OF
mother and son.

would do so much for poor little for

LAND II No BE RzoLAnnn

For several years before the war be-
gan the Turkish government was build
ing irrigation dams across the Eu-
pirates, reopening the old Babylonian
canals which had long been filled with
sand, and building new canals to re-
claim the country. When the war
broke out work upon this great irriga.
tion project ceased. After the war it
will doubtless be resumed, and one may
easily imagine the changes which will
then take place. All of that wonder
fully valley will be reclaimed. The
wide plains, where now the herds Of the
Bedouin find scant pasturage, will be
dotted with date groves and grain
fields, and millions of people will finl
homes where now but few can gain a
livelihood. Again Bagdad, the city Of
the caliphs, will be as glorious as when
the famous Haroun-al-Raschid used to
wander in disguise about the streets,
and when Sinbad the Sailor made it his
home. The buried cities will be un.
covered, revealing the treasures long
hidden among the ruins. The history
of modern Egypt will be repeated in
Babylonia. The desert and the swamps
will again become a veritable Garden
of Eden as in the ancient days.

NFANTuE PARALYSIS
Suggestions as to the Prevention Of
This Dreadful Disease
By DR.. B. R. Daniels

From everything that has been
learned up to date of infantile paraly-
sis, the disease is caused by a germ
which finds lodgment in the mucus
membrane of the nose and throat, and
of the stomach and intestine. Here the
germ multiplies rapidly and forms its
poison; these poisons are taken up by
the blood and carried to all parts of
the body. The effect of these poisons
upon nearly all parts of the body are
no different from that of most other
germ poisons, except that these poisons
are particularly injurious to the nerve
cells in the spinal cord, which govern
the muscles of the limbs-particularly
the lower limbs In an attack of the
disease the partial or complete destruc-
ton of these nerve cells takes place in
few hours, but the full effects are
not apparent for several months.
Make the Child Diseased Proof
Inasmuch as the germ of infantile
paralysis seems to be disseminated by
flies, a systematic determination Of
these pests is important in the preven-
ton of the disease. However, keeping
the child in high state Of resistance,
in the best of health, is of even greater
Importance. Germs attack only those
whose disease-resisting powers are low;
germs find portal of entry in a weak
spot in the body. In the case of in
fantile paralysis, the "weak spots"
are the nose and throat, and the stom.
ach and intentine. If we are to avoid
this dread disease we must keep the
child 3 air passages in healthy condi-
ton and keep the stomach and bowels
in good shape. 1t is significant thai
this disease attacks children at the aga
when they are weaned and taken to
the table and fed anything and every
thing. Avoiding colds, sore throats and
catarrh in children by proper feeding
and plenty of fresh air; and keeping
the stomach and bowels in good condi
ton through careful feeding will go q
long way toward eliminating infantile
paralysis.

MINING REVIVAL IN
COLORADO Is GREAT

Denver, Aug. colorado has come
back to her mineral wealth this summer
in manner significant of permanency
under the spur of increased prices Of
silver, lead, zinc, copper and tungsten.
The hills, peaks, gulches and canoos
are filled with prospectors drawn from
the limits of the north and southwest
and the echo of "shotsn and the
crashing of rock makes startling muisc
to browsing range cattle, about the
mine workings deserted these many
thirty years or SO.
Until this spring it was firm be.
lief among old miners that the Colora.
do peaks have merely been scratched
for their mineral wealth. Today the
peaks are being "rawhided." The re-
suit of the rush to the hills, is dearth
of men on the farms, ranges and ranches
that is growing into grave problem
as the season advances.
Even the big mining corporations
in Cripple Creek and Leadville have
been compelled to bid with higher
wages to operate full shifts while re-
viving silver mining in the "San
Juan" district Of Southern Colorado
was unable to stay this rush that slid
on snowshoes over the peaks in the
early summer, stalking tungsten land.
Properties abandoned because of low
prices and necessity for improved ma
chinery now boast re-equipment and
dividends have replaced assessments.

KAISER LEADING TOWARD PEACE

augurated a speechmaking propaganda
throughout Germany to unity the en-
pire on Germany's peace terms and to
prepare the public mind for peace. =.
Under the auspices Of the German
national committee, an organizatieu
having the approval of the official cor
sorship, fifty well known German ora
tors will make the same speech in fifty
German cities today, The speech is un-
officially known to represent Chanesl-
lor Won Bethmann-Hollweg's peace
term views.
The speech is being awaited with the
keenest interest by both friends and
foes Of Dr.. Holiweg.
This propaganda may mark the b.
ginning Of re.established friendly rela-
! tions between the chancellor and those
with whom he has politically disagreed

veg is the man who engineered the
ousting Of Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz
and his submarine warfare campaign
and kept friendly relations with the
United States when a break seemed i'm
