Ell Paso Is Not Unpatriotic

From time TO time have appeared criticisms OF FL
Pssos patriotism coupled with the fact that Fl Paso
has but one company in the Texas national guard 1t
is stated that Paso though alarmed because OF border
conditions contributed men for border defence
than many small hamlet back east, and less than nan
as many as Tucson Arz town of no more than 2OOOO
inhabitants.
The charge is true, In way As matter OF tac the
one company FL Paso contributed to the Fourth Texas in
fautrv was almost equal numerically TO the two COM
NAMES from Tucson when the troops ordered mob

ngs expedition in Mexico guides mechanics or truck
drivers TO make another company and others joined the
New Mexico national guard which conducted recruiting
office here
Leadership would effected even larger enlist
rneut of men There is little doubt but that battalion
of national guardsen could have been formed IN FL
Paso with no difficulty. But no one tined It. Inc
formation of nucleus organization and an appeal 1or
men would have been sufficient.
It is enough that FL Paso should, even IN orol
narv times have more than company Of national
guardsmen The city is large enough to provide two or
even more strong militia units All that is required,
undoubtedly, is for to set the pace by COM
mencing organization
In the meantime any charge of lack Of patriotism does
not properly stand II is not borne out by facts And
in the event of war any time FL Paso viii be found
represented by full quota of troops
incidentally it may be remarked that El PaSo has
been "on the firing line for the last six years. and at
times its entire citizenship has held itself in instant
readiness for defensive action FL Paso has served its
country well and periodically by enforcing peace IN the
face of almost intolerable provocation-

less chance for that now than at any

Fl Paso is the best insurance city in
Texas, for the reason that nearly all
the buildings are Of brick and concrete.

fairly good brick buildings but the

UNCLE SAM WILL PROSECUTE
 SCHILLER

NEW YORK, April 4. - The federal government has decided to prosecute Ernest Schiller. on a charge of piracy. Schiller is the German citizen who slowed away on the British steamer Matoopo, as she was leaving New York with a cargo of railroad supplies and war munitions for Vladivostok, held up the captain of the vessel, de. strOyed the wireless apparatus and terrorized the crew before he was finally overcome, and the ship brought into Lewes, Delaware, where the man was given up to the authorities. If convicted. Schiller may receive the maximum penalty of penal servitude for life.

MUST BE RELEASED
 SAYS WILSON

WASHINGTON. April 4. - The con. troversy between this government and Great Britain over the seizure of German citizens from an American vessel by a British warship, its threat ening to reach serious proportions. There were thirty-eight German and Austrian subjects taken from the Am erican steamer China, near Shanghai, by an English cruiser, and on notice of the act this country immediately demanded that Great Britain release the men. The case was similar to that of the French cruiser Descartes, which took German citizens from an American ship in the West Indies. The French government released the pris. oners on the demand of the Wilson administration. In the China case Great Britain has refused to give up the captured Teutons. A note on the subject was received today from the British foreign office, in which the contention is set forth that England is within her rights in seizng enemy subjects wherever she may find them when they are returning to their own country to take part in the war. The United States disputes this contention and the state department will insist upon the unconditional release of the prisoners.

NJ POLITICS IN NE W TARIFF
 COMMISSION

WASHINGTON, April f. - By way of adding to arguments in favor of a permanent tariff commission - ad- vocatng this reform as a national business policy - the Chamber of Commerce of the United States de- clares in a pamphlet just issued. the proposal is not political. According to this authority, before the tariff re- vision of 1909 was determined upon a commission was urged by advocates regardless of party. Every time there has been an attempt in either House or Senate 10 make it a party measure there have been affirmative votes from members of the opposing party
 In 1911 the members of the House committee on ways and means - the committee in which party lines are most closely drawn, the committee which bears the burden of the present method of formulating a new tariff, and the committee which accordingly understands most completely the in adequacy of the facts upon which tar iff bills are now based - unanimously approved a bill for a permanent com mission. Champ Clark, at the time the minority leader of the House and since speaker, said; The demand for such board is insstent and increas- ing In fact, it is widespread, and, in my judgment, should be needed
