VILLAS CAPTURE.

If 1t is true that Francisco Villa. has been captured together with g num- Der of other Mexican bandits by Car ranza troops it means much to the Mexican republic and likewise to this
 country, for whatever is done to re- store peace in that country is of vital importance to this and certainly the elimination of Villa means the end of a leadership which has for a long time been the cause of great anncy- ance.
 According to Mexican methods the capture of Villa means his death and that, with the execution of Jose Rod riguez and Mique1 Baca Valles and the similar fate which awaits the other bandits who are reported taken with Villa is bound to teach a lesson to whatever other outlaws there are operating in northern Mexico and else where that a new order of things is in vogue and it is in the interest of their health to cease their activities.
 The rise and fall of Villa has cov- cred a period of several years, but it ends as it began, without anything to his credit. Before he came into prominence as a leader of Carranza forces he was an outlaw and cut throat. He was a most valuable di- rector of the constitutionalist army for many months and gained a num- Der of signal victories before the ir- reparable break with Carranza came, but since that time he has steadily lost ground as a revoIutionist and for some time he has been resorting to the methods which first brought him into prominence.
 For a time this country looked fa- vorably upon him because he dis played willingness to conform to the demands of the administration and it was easier to treat with him than with Carranza, but he fell from grace and his capture means much to the immediate future of the republic

 avail themselves of every means for dghtinx 1t as soon as pcssible.
 Not only in the American Rcd Grona ready to xnarshal its forces for an at tack upon tho conditions, but 10 is Che Roclxefeller Foundation prepared to lend helping hand as t did in Servia with decidedly beneficial re- suits. This government has suggested the sending of medical commission while for the protection of those lo- calities i'm which they are interested the Guggenheins are arranging to see that their own interests are properly protected.
 None of these agencies have any other reason for offering their services than to aot the part of friend in the time of need and when reports show that the disease Is largely con- dned to the slums and the unclean districts It is evident that Mexico stands in need of some wholesome advice regarding sanitation.

THE E-2 INVESTIGATION.

It is going to be necessary to await the conclusion of the investigation which is now underway concerning the explosion on the submarine H-2 before all facts in the case win be known There is already a statement from the commander to the effect that danger from hydrogen gas which was given or by the batteries had been recognized and that application had been made to the navy department for R detector for the purpose of remedy ing the situation, and there is likewise a statement from a member of the crew who was at work in the vessel at the time of the explosion and is now in a hospital to the effect that the ventilating system was not in full operation and that portion of 1t was being used to fan the gas fumes into instead of out of the submarine in order to increase the heat and make 1t more comfortable.
 Thus 1t would appear that greater risks than were warranted were be- ing taken. and especially so since 1t is maintained by a representative of Thomas 4. Edison to the effect that while hydrogen gas may have been given off from the batteries which he had manufactured and installed, if the ventilating system was used as it should have been such a danger would have been entirely overcome.
 Regrettable as the accident was fl is apparently another one of those de- plorab1e affairs which brings knowl- edge through experience. Proper pre- cautions must be exercised under all circumstances and perhaps one of the most fortunate things in connection with the whole affair is that the plum g9f@was in drydock instead of on the high seas when the explosion oc- cured.

INCREASED FOREIGN TRADE.

While the prosperity which this country is enjoying is getting atten- ton it is an interesting revelation which Is made by the statistics put out by the department of commerce and labor. They show conclusively that the increased industrial activity is due solely to the demands which come from Europe because of the war and the situation today would be vast ly different were 1t not for the fact that the nations across the water are making business for this country.
 The increase in the exports of the United States for the year ending with June in comparison with a similar period just previous amounted to over $7S5. .0G0,00 The decrease Tn exports due solely to the war during the same period showed total Of over s396.- 000,00 or gain in exports of over $309, ,00O,0 Thus the increased de- mands in fifteen lines more than over balanced the decrease in sixteen others by almost a third of billion dollars. Our balance of trade with Europe has therefore been rising tremendously, but it has not shown any such re- suits in connection with other grand divisions. for while the balance is still in our favor with North America and Africa by comparatively small amounts, 1t Is still against us with South America and Asia and Oceania by considerably over $1o0, GOO 900 in each instance.
 While the war lasts this increased business can be expected to continue to a certain degree, but the time is coming when it is going to drop off and it is then that the old time com petition is going to be revived for Europe is going to more nearly take care of it's own wants and will be reaching out to resume it's foreign trade It is thus apparent if this country is going to reach out for per- manent increased foreign trade now is the time in which 1t must do it. The opportunity is one that should not he neglected.

righteousness. and self-sacrifice for a righteous cause is one of the ideals of the church.
 "They tell their people every day.. writes the rector of Stockbridge in regard to the clergy, that every man who offers himself as a soldier saves the lives of many of his countrymen: it is therefore necessary, if more and more lives are to be saved. that more and more men must offer. We are also preaching that this is a righteous war;
 He then asks:
 Should not the clergy lead in the promotion of righteousness? And if it is true that by the war the princi- pie of righteousness will be more firmly established than ever before, is not that work fit for a priest, or even a bishop?'
 The clergymen signing the petition address the following letter to the Bishop of London:
 We, the signatories of this letter, believing that the needs of our eoun- try demand the most efficient utiliza- ton of the nations resources. respect fully request your lordship to-
 1. Consider the possibility of so recognizing the work of the diocese as will permit of the largest number of clergy being set free for whole or part time for. work directly in connec- tion with the war.
 9. Invite all clergy of military age to offer themselves for those branches of national service for which your lordship deems them suitable, and to undertake whatever work may, In &C., cordance, with this action, be allotted them. -,-
 8. Consider if 1t be not possible to waive the rule which at present prohibits clergy from serving in the combatant ranks.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geozraphir Society

~Antlvari was the proudest poses sion of Montenegro. It gave the little country a pleasant consciousness of international position; for Antixari. the seaport. made the Kingdom on a Mountain one of the community of nations interested in the commerce and the control of the Adriatic Sea 1t gave the land rank in the world such as was not even enjoyed by it's far more powerful neighbor and ally. CT. Montenegro had a three-fold pride five centuries of tradition and his tory of glorious resistance to the Turks. a daughter of it's royal house upon the throne of Italy, and the own ership of this Adriatic seaport" Thus
Norwich bulletin., 1916-01-21

begins a statement given out today by the National Geographic Society, des- cribing the port recently brought un- der the guns of the Austrians.
 The city of Antivari, shielded on every hand by mountains and embed ded in olive groves. is built partly on an island. The town is more Turkish than Slay in character, and belonged to the Ottoman Empire until 1878 Its setting is peculiarly picturesque, a great niche in rolled and layered mountains. all ,over-shadowed by the peak of Rumiya, which reaches an al- titude of 514S feet But a little way outside. the town is invisible beneath its trees, the ruined walls of it's Vil- lage enclosure and the sombre age of its houses hiden by masses of green.
 A fine bay breaks into the rocky. western coastiine of the Adriatic, where lies this narrow strip of Mon tenegrin seaboard- Antivari lies about an hours drive back from the bay, protected largely from the storms that sweep over the waters in autumn and winter. Prstan is the port. barren in surroundings, unencourag1ng in aspect and at the mercy of every gale that bounds and rebounds it's way down the rock-fringed sea.
 Austrian Cattaro, a splendid nat ural harbor, a deep pocket-basin blasted out of the rocks by the forces of nature, has dominated the trade of this small region, as the Montenegr1n harhor is difficult of accessin bad weather and as steamers, however, found 1t of value to maintain a regu- lar service to and from Antivari be- fore the war. After the successful campaign against Turkey by the Ball. kan Alliance in 1912, Antivari bene- f1ted from enthusiasm of the Monten- egrins, who began to concern them selves about the future of the port. Fishing is the chief business of the people of Antivari, which, with the industry of olive oil refining, supports the towns 2,500 inhabitants"

BERLIN DENlALs.

There may be a certain amount of satisfaction which Germany gets out of the issuance of statements which deny reports concerning the activities of Captain von Papen while in this country, but just how much influence it is going to have in the way of changing public opinion in view of the actual affairs which are chalked up against him depends upon the amount of thought that is given to both sides.
 Papers have been taken from the recalled attache while in British port which furnish pretty good sevi- dence as to what he has been doing. According to the stubs in his check book the $T00 was paid to Werner Horn, the man who last February at tempted to blow up the railroad bridge between this country and Canada at Vanceboro. Me, and the date on tEe stub shows that it was paid two weeks before the attempt was made Horn claimed at the time to have been an officer of the German reserve and the fact that a check had been received by him from von Papen furnishes evil dence of an discriminating character.
 Now for the statement to be sent from Berlin claiming that no check had been paid to Horn indicates an attempt to dodge the responsibility It is like a plea of not guilty to an act for which proof is already pos sessed. It is possible that Germany could not be expected to admit such a payment, but the denial appears to be based upon less ground than was that taken when the Hesperian was torpedoed. Then it was maintained that 1t was a mine and not a torpedo which was responsible because nc German submarine was in the vicinity but q portion of the torpedo found on the deck was sufficient evidence to off, set the claim and the checkbcck stub serves like purpose in this instance Thus there is ground for looking upon Berlin denials with suspicion.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
our Neiahber, Mexico.

MT. Editor: There are many of us who do not agree with President Wilson and his inactivity in dealing with the Mexican affair On the other hand, all must admit he has but fol- lowed in the steps of his predecessor in refusing to favor a policy of inter vention. Perhaps, if he had given in- dorsement to 'Huerta, all would now be well. In that, it is possible his con- science was the bar. Was 1t not Pres in 1873. before he gave recognition to Diaz, the dictator of Mexico at that time?
 President Wilson in dealing with Huerta satisfied his conscience, and, again, in keeping out of Mexico think he has the interests of the people in mind. There is always those who rec ommend intervention. in the name of dignity and patriotism; persons who with ambitious schemes in mind, and still more crooked speculations, com bine and under the cloak of my coun- try tis of thee sentiments work on the imaginations of the people through that we'll known organ, the Hearst papers, and certain magazines
 Is 1t the duty of the president of the United States to embrol the country in war because a clique of adventurers and self-eeekers poke their nose into a hornets nest?
 Let us see what Carranza will ac- complish. His success is dubious. We have recognized him, and 1t Is justice order out of chaotic conditions, and if we have to take hand In the affair we are going to find 1t some job. It Is a country wild and deserted. difficult of access and as vehement as the snake. It will be guerilla warfare and long drawn, out, and will mean a tragic end for many a youth of our great country if intervention comes. Some of us may live to regret our criticism of watchful waiting.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Eastern naunition manufacturers here in the East are not the only ones to whom the European war is bringing increased revenues. Nebras- ka landowners who have walnut groves about their homes or walnut timber along the creeks on their land are reaping a harvest. Four carloads of walnut logs to be used in the manufacture of gunstocks for one day from Sprague. Nebraska, near which all this lumber was grown. It was sold to a Kansas City firm which will convert 1t into rifle stocks be- fore shipping 1t abroad. Most of this supply will go to Russia and Eng Bulletin.
 Increased taxation has struck the small town No longer is the city are problem The town of Old Saybrook Is the latest small town to come under the ban of increased burden for property owners, and according to the report elsewhere the assessors devised the plan to in crease valuations rather than the tax rate. That is one way of keep ing the taxpayers good natured. Middletown went through the same have the increased valuations as a permanent affair and the rate which went down for the first year Is back to nearly the old standard on what was lower valuations of property in general Houses and building lots in Old Saybrook have been boosted in some instances it is stated as much as 100 per cent. The problem of taxation goes on in the meantime
