Only Bare 5000
 Americans Live
 Now In Mexico

Laredo, Texas, Oct. 2s.-Barely B. 900 Americans remain in the republic of Mexico, as compared with the r00,- 900 or more who lived in that coun- try prior to the Madero revolution in 1911. These figures were recently compiled here by an American who concluded a ten weeks tour of the re- public at this border point. His es- timate and distribution of the Ameri- can cit in-ezwsbeotl
 can citizens beolw the border is:
 Mexico City, approximately 300 Americans; Tampico, approximately 300; Panuco oil field district, near Tampico, 200; scattered through So- nora State, $50; scattered through Chi huahua, 250; State of Nuevo Leon, in- c1uding Monterey. 100; Guadalaj jara, 15; State of Pueblo, 60; Vera Cruz, 50; San Luis Potqsi. 12; Queretaro ene Guana5uato, 20; Torreon, 30; Isth- mus of TehuAntepec, 25.
 Five hundred additional Americans, he said, are scattered through various other states and cities of Mexico most ly at points remote from railroads, where they are engaged in ranching or mining. ,

CHILDREN HATE PILLS, CALOMEL
 AND CASTOR OIL
If cross, feverish, constipated give "California Syrup
 of Figs"

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the "dose" mother insisted on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them.
 With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is we'll founded. Their tender little 'insides'' are injured by them.
 If your child's stomach. liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious California Syrup of Figs" It's action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless fruit laxative handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach. and that tea spoonful given today saves a sick child tomorrow.
 Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown ups plainly on each bottle. Beware of commercials sold here. See that it is made by California Fig Syrup Company" Refuse any other kind with contempt

WAR THREATENS
 TO STRUGGLE
 BETWEEN YOUTHS
Strain Shows on Men Over 25 and England Begins
 Registering Boys.

London, Oct. 25.@The war threat ems soon to become a struggle between mere boys. The pace is said to be entirely too fast for the older men long to endure.
 It is declared here that next year the Entente Allies will be facing boys of IT in the German army.
 General Sir Douglas Haig, com- manding the British expeditionary forces, is said to have objected to the sending out of men of middle age. He wants young men of from IS to 25. After the latter year it is said the fighting value of the human unit shows a rapid and steady decline.
 The good soldier of to-day it seems must be or the age which exce1s in the more strenuous athletic games the football player type. The older men have their place, but generally speaking it is said now to be in ''the army behind the army''-the men back of the line, in the supply and trans port divisions where the strain is not 50 great. These older men are too susceptible to trench diseases to be of great use on the firing line.
 England already is registering boys born in 1899 preparatory to calling them up when they attain their eigh- teenth year.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
ELECTION

On Wednesday and Thursday last the members of the committees ap- pointed for the purpose by the legis- lature counted the vote for members of Congress and for nomination Of Councillors. David Tomlinson of the Federation ticket has the greater num- Der of votes than Asher Miller. MT. Tomlinson is, of course, one of twenty elected to stand in nomination. MT. Miller has leave to retire as will also one or two others on the Federal tic ket, had the Federal managers of elections in certain democratic towns made returns according to law. Fed eral justices should be careful to make correct returns of votes in the ensuing Spring for governor. We are not prepared to believe that incor- rect returns always happen to be sent from Republican towns. You know what we mean.

PUC|L|SM AND WAR

When MT. Lloyd George gave out his famous interview. he made use of such phrases as "a fight to a finish" and "to a knockout" German jour- nalists expressed horror that states man should "so forget his dignity" as to make use of the language of the prize ring" More recently M. Natures Donnal, one of the immortals of the Academic Franchise and gifted au- thor, has pointed out a parallel be- tween the Entente conflict with Ger many and the memorable ring battle between MT. Robert Fitzsimmons and MT. James J. Corbett Says M. Don- nay:
 ''The indefatigable Fitzsimmons gave his opponent no respite. While conserving his own forces. he grad ually' wore out Corbett by raining in- cessant blows at a distance. These 'jabs' are not very dangerous, but by dint of constant repetition finally en-
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-10-25

ervate the opponent. Corbett's sci- ence finally left him in the lurch, and
 Fitz, in a clinch, calculated. I've got you now and I am going to fat ten you out" The slender middle weight had conquered the colossal heavyweight champion. Courage, au- dacity and tenacity had got the better of force. Though our terrible match is not yet finished, and doubtless still holds its surprises, the time has al- ready come when Germany, worried, harried. up against the ropes, appears 'groggy' and the moment is steadily approaching when she will hear her opponents terrible whisper, I've got you now The moment to get in the shift punch is drawing nearer. When it comes the bells will ring-the bells of victory-and German .militarism will be sent off to 'dreamland,' and we will see to it that it stays there."

The ground being extremely diffi- cult, the Rumanians endeavored to forward infantry endorsements through the town of Predeal with the result that heavy German and Hun garian guns inside of 15 minutes blew up half of the town. The Rumanian forces were obliged to seek shelter in the forest above the town, passing through infantry fire at long range.
 The Predeal action was not remark able for severity of artillery fire or oth- CT action, but great interest centers in it for the reason the German and Hun garian infantry, uraccustomed to mountain fighting, was able to cope with the difficulties of the Terrain, al- though they were hard to grasp by those unfamiliar with the nature of the Transylvanian Alps. Another point Is that the forces actually att tacking are extremely small, owing to the nature of the ground, which proves a greater handicap to the more nu- merous reserves following them.
 The Rumanians, on the other hand, showed lack of military knowledge. The efficiency of their troops suffered because much of their artillery had been taken out of range for fear of be- ing cut off. The few guns that re- mained were so blasted that they were useless except for defense of roads through the pass. which are necessary for successful operations.
 A few Rumanian shrapnel fell in the forests in which there were no troops, or upon the slopes in full view of the Rumanian batteries. The Rumanian artillery, therefore. made an unusually poor showing. The Rumanian infan- try did relatively better, but it was at the mercy of the murderous German and Hungarian shells. The losses of Won Falkenhayn's army are said to have been light.

Judge of Probate
 Candidates Agree
 to Stay off Stump

Henry P. Lyons Democratic candi-
 date for judge of probate, and Paul L..
 Miller, present judge and Republican
 candidate for reelection, have entered into an agreement to make mo cam
 paign speeches. The candidates have
 been informed that in the majority of
 the large probate districts of the state,
 the office of judge of probate has been taken out of politics. In several of
 the larger districts the Republicans have endorsed the Democratic incum- bent of the office and present nominee
 and like action has been taken by the Democrats in other districts.
 Although it has been the custom in
 the past for candidates of both par ties to campaign for election and to speak for votes, the candidates at this election have arrived at the conclu- sion that such a course is undignihed and belittles the high office to which they aspire. Therefore they have
 withdrawn from the ranks of the spell
 binders. They will attend the party
 rallies and possibly preside at some of
 the meetings but they wa make no speeches for votes.
