THE MENACE OF WAR-HOW
WILL 1T BE DESTROYED?
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Truly the menace Of war has hung
over us for many years; and when war
burst with all its dread reality upon us
it only gave feverish stir to war
preparations such as went far beyond
the gigantic efforts that already had
been made. In fact, all the colossal pill.
ing up of armamen:s seemed but a
feeble thing as compared with what has
come since then.
And now, as never before, all are
looking forward to the time when they
hope the menace Of war shall be de.
strOyed. England and France, for ex-
ample, see that the only hope of peace
is to crush Germany so completely that
she will not be able to threaten them
again for a generation, at least. This
is one means that is put forth to secure
world peace and to destroy the world
menace of war.
David Starr Jordan and others have
another way. It is world court OF
arbitration-the supreme court Of the
nations-where every question Ordinar.
lily settled by war shall be settled once
and for all by the supreme dictatOrs OF
world affairs. Hitherto all their efforts
have been but fulfillment of the old
prophecy: "Saying peace, peace, when
there is no peace In other words,
talking peace and making war. The SO
cialists, bound in world coalition,
promised that there would be no more
wars. They had enough men in every
nation pledged to stand as socialists
against war. Socialists were brothers.
Brothers must not fight. They all were
a mighty union; and if any nation de-
clared war, they would declare strike
on the war and make it impossible
When wars alarms sounded, the Ger.
man socialists rallied to war, forgetting
socialism to fight English, French and
Russian socialists. The big strike was
never declared. Shall we blame them
for love Of country? We are not desir
Gus Of saying anything here except to
show the failure of socialism to destroy
the menace Of war.
In the United States the hope of de-
stroying the menace Of war is TO be
thoroughly prepared This is not
new. A prominent ruler Of one Of the

AUTHENTIC REPORT OF THE
FIGHT AT CARRIZAL

Washington. June 24.-The first au-
thentic account Of the fighting between
American soldiers and Mexicans at
Carrizal was given out by Secretary
Baker tonight, following the receipt OF
a report from General Pershing. Per-
shing transmitted report from Major
jenkins, one Of the officers who went
out with the squadron of cavalry to
relieve the American soldiers engaged
at Carrizal.
According to jenkins report five men
of troop G and one man of troop X
had been found at the San Luis ranch
by his searching party. These men
stated that on the day of the battle
with Carranzistas at Carrizal, Captain
Boyd's troop c occupied the left of the
line and Captain Morey's troop X the
right wing. After firing began troop

machine guns. Captain Boyd, twice
wounded, in the arm and shoulder, be.

at the irrigation ditch.
Last Seen Of Troop G.
Troop G continued to advance
through the town under command of
Lieutenant Adair. This was the last
seen of troop c by these men.
Troop X was Outfianked and with

some time. The men with Jenkins said
that they believed that 10 or II OF

Baker gave out the substance of the

along the communication lines. Reports
so far today account for all but 81, as

As the details become known it is
more and more apparent that the small
American band was the victim of a
plot. That they gave good account of
themselves was the unanimous testi-
mony of the men who returned to the
United States lines.
The stories of the survivors differ

X troop, under Morey, was forced by
overwhelming numbers to take refuge
in an adobe house, from which the
Americans drove small Mexican de-

could give first-hand account of what
happened after the house was captured.
Morey, who is missing, was shot
through the shoulder. 1t is considered
possible that Morey and his men fought
their way through the Mexican lines
and may be trying to get back to the
American lines.

TUBERCULOSIS WEEK.

According to an announcement by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, De-
cember to December 10. inclusive,
has been set aside as tuberculosis week
in the United States
During this week an effort will be
made to enlist the cooperation of ev-
cry church, school, anti-tuberculC sis
and public health organization, lodge
and working mems organization in the
United States in an active effort to
bring tuberculosis to the attention of
the people.
Three special feature days will be
held during the week. December c
will be National Medical Examination
day. On that day an effort will be
made to get everybody, men, women
and children, whether sick or well, to
be examined in order to find out If
they have any defects or impairments
of their bodies that need attention. If
eXa mination is not possible on Decem-
Der 6, appointments will be made then
for later examination.
December will be Children's
Health Crusade day. 1t is hoped at
that time to launch a national organ
ization of modern health crusaders.
an association of the children of the
United States in public schools, for
fighting against tuberculosis and for
better health.
December or 10. will be observed,
according 20 the convenience of the
churches, as Tuberculosis day, when, it
is hoped, the clergymen generally will
! preach special sermons on the subject
| appropriate to the occasion.
Last year over $50, 900 organizations
and institutions participated in the
Tuberculosis week celebration. 1t is
expected that this year this number
will be greatly increased.
