FLUT!NG And FLIRTING
The Difference Costs the Western
Union Company $3.50.

Because of the interchanging of the
words "fluting' and flirting" in a
code message the Shawnee Milling
company was given judgment in the
first division of the district court to-
day for $3.50 against the Postal Tele-
graph company.
The allegation in the petition of
the Milling company was that it sent
d code message to a Wichita grain
company buying 10000 bushels of
wheat; that the telegraph company
used the word flirting where 'flut-
ing should have been used and that
it resulted in the purchase of only
5000 bushels of wheat. The milling
company was forced to go out into the
market for the other 1000 bushels
and was forced to pay $3.50 more than
it would have paid had the full order
been filled by the Wichita grain COM

The Washington times., 1916-03-19

Of the United States, thew could
abundantly arm our troops and sup
ply them with ammunition faster
than we could raise and organize
those troops.
But while private enterprise and
private energy, IN the mere response
to commercial demand, have been
reaching this stage Of preparedness
in capacity to provide munislons of
war the Government Of the United
States itself hasn't done a ..yth;ng in
the way Of preparedness with trained
armies, adequate ships, essential
coast defense, and suitable fieIL ar
tillery. ~.
After twenty months Of q worij
crisis always capable Of involving az
and sometimes imminently threaten
ing US, the Government until very
recently has mari ed time in the mat
ter Of preparedness, In the eaflier
period of the war it tried to and
actually did backslide. AMI the ex-
PLANTATION is not mere dread of milk
tarism; 1t is closely akin to mean
petence.
The Washington times., 1916-03-19
AMMUNITION PREPAREDNESS

In ten days, from the port of New
York alone, we have shipped out
Just now exports to the value of more
than $1O0,OO0,OO0, A great part of
this huge foreign business was in
arms and ammunition.
Thus have we surely come to a
condition of national preparedness
in capacity to supply for ourselves,
if the need should arise, munitions
of war. But this has been a pre-
paredness of private enterprise, pri-
vate energy, private ability.
1t is a preparedness which has
come of the alertness and skill Of
American capital and American la
Dor to respond to the belhgerents'
demand in this market for all man
ner of war materials from subma-
rines and great guns to cartridges
and powder.
If these private individuals have
put themselves into condition where
they can ship TO foreigners cargoes

PROPHETS IN HOTELS

Plans under way for two great
hotels in New York, one to have
nearly twice as many rooms as the
largest now in operation, call atten-
ton in a striking manner to the
unusual number of strangers who
have tarried within the gates of the
metropolis since the war started.
Before that time hotel men were
prepared for a rise and fall in their
business at seasonable periods.
They were reconciled to having al
most whole floors untenanted at
times; and even the two or three
rooms on which they based the min
imum figure in their scale Of prices
might be had by the trustful wan
drers from Peoria or Abilene who
had the nerve to ask for them.
But all that is changed now. Prac-
tically all the hotels are doing a
rushing business, some turning ap-
plicants away. At least one big new
hotel has taken it's place and gained
it's patronage without apparently afl
fecting the older ones. 1t will be
interesting to see what will be the
result when the Pennsylvania rail-
roads projected hotel and the still
larger institution in prospect for the
Longacre square neighborhood are
claiming their share of attention.
OF course, the war has been chief
ly responsible for the boom. Per-
sons of means who would shop in
Paris or London ordinarily are shop
ping in New York now. Then there
is the vast business attendant upon
the placing of war orders, and the
activity in Wall Street and in differ
ent wholesale lines.
But persons who are planning to
invest sums up to $15,000,000 in
first outlay, and who are facing the
prospect of enormous expenditures
in upkeep year after year, must be
banking on something more perma-
nent and trustworthy than wal
business. They must have faith that
New York is going to hold for good
and all a great share of the bust
ness which has come to it by chance.

LikenS Villa Chase
To Geronimo Hunt

To Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. who
wears Medal of Honor for his services
in the Geronimo campaign in Mexico in
1886, the punitive expedition for the cap
ture OF Pancho Villa Is history repeat
ing itself.
General Wood was given the highest
tribute the Government OF the United
States can pay a soldier for participant
ing In campaign which lasted four
months and four days. Today, how
ever, recalling the character OF the So
nora and Chihuahua country, where
Villa and his fellow-bandits are believed
to be in hiding, he predicts that the
task before General Pershing's troops is
an arduous one which will try the met
tie of the pursuing soldiers.
From the beginning OF the Geronimo
expedition we had to overcome obstacles
that at times seemed almost impossible
OF accomplishment" said General Wood.
1.-THE part of the Mexican state of
Sonora in which most of our work was
done Is rough, mountainous country
which presents obstacles of q most seri-
United States. AS whole, the coun-
try is a mass of mountains of the most
rugged and broken character.
Range follows range with hardly an
excuse for a valley, unless the narrow
canyons be SO considered. The country
Is sparsely settled for the most part
and In great areas there Is no population
at all. 1t produces nothing but few
wild fruits, cactus and more or less
game. The heat was so intense thirty
years ago That the men could not
hold their hands on the iron parts OF
their guns nor touch the rocks.
1.-THE country and climate have not
changed in thirty years, What we
faced them will have to be faced to-
