MANY OFFER AID
 IN CASE UT WAR
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Heavy correspondence to the White House within the last few days indicates the extent to which the American people have been stirred by the Mexican sit uatiOn. Letters and telegrams are being received from persons in all parts of the country offering their services in case of war
 Members of the Spanish War Vet erans, Sons of Veterans, and other patriotic organizations are offering to enlist or form separate companies in their respective communities. and old soldiers of the Union and Con federate armies are sending in ap- peals to be allowed to share in de- fense of the country. Requests for rifles uniforms and ammunition to form independent organizations for service on the border are contained in these letters, but under existing law such requests cannot be granted eX- cept to regularly organized militia bodies

INDIAN TRIBES USE
WRESTLING LANGUAGE
Able to Express Their Thoughts
Perfectly by Its Use, Says
Mining Engineer.

Carlisle, Pa.-That entire tribes OF
yersatlons by means of whistling il as
serted by Harold r. Mapes, mining en-
gineer, who was for twelve years in
Mexico, but now lives In Carlisle.
Mapes declares that the Indians have
a whistllng language and are able To
express their thoughts perfectly by its
use. He says 1t is not a series OF signs
or calls signifying danger, love, fear,
peace, war, etc, but a regular language,
by which the most subtle shades Of
thought may be expressed.
Like people I'm other parts of the
world, the Mexican Indians occasion
ally whistle for their dinners, only they
are able to explain by their whistles
exactly what kind of n dinner they
want--either a simple meal of tortillas
and f~rijoles or a more elaborate feast
Of enchiladas and mole guajalote, with
cervezt or vino.
Mapes says that he understands that
the whistling language has been hand
ed down from generation to generation
from the time of the Toltecs and Az
tees and that Indian lovers can put a
world of tenderness and passion into
their whistled declarations of love or
stir their fellows to heroic deeds by
the fierceness with which they whistle
a call to arms.
A whistling language has been used
from time immemorial by the Swiss
mountaineers, and N%eapolitan sailors
converse frequently by means OF whis-
thing. Convicts In the big jails in Ma
pies converse freely by means Of whis-
thing, and there is apparently no limit
TO their whistling vocabulary.

This at least Is the version of the

but utters a psychological f%alsehood, :
declared Professor Charles Gray Shaw,
head of the philosophy department of
the New York university. in a lecture
at the institution.
Professor Shaw argued that no wom-
an could be a friend to men or to
women, because n friend requires a
clear cut personality and a disinter-
ested outlook on life. Both of these,
he asserted, ONE lack. He also de
clared that friendships between men
were passing from the earth.
Woman cannot be a friend because
she is eve an individual, for to be
an individual one must stand alone"
he said. "Only those who stand alone
can come together"
Professor Shaw said that III was
like a p~lanet-well adapted to revolve
about some center, but not organized
In such "A way as TO stand alone"
Unfortunately. masculine friend
ships are just passing from the earth,
and In the course of time friends win
be found only In museums, along with
other aboriginal products. This mel
ancholy situation Is due to the fact
that modern life tends to destroy per-
s~onality and a ~philosophic view of the
world Man Is bound to man not by
ties of friendship. but by bonds of pro.
fe~ssionalism which are usually OF a
commercial character"
