Doubts Villa Is Dead.
After a conference with the military
and civil authorities in the customs
house, General Obregon met the news
papermen. but he added but little to
the information already given out on
war said he did not care to talk about
the conference. Asked what he would
do in case the American troops We're
kept in Mexico, General Obregon re-
piled through an interpreter:
THAT is Il matter which we hope to
orange in conference"
1t has been aid that the American
government would like to keep the
troops in Chihuahua more as a guard
for the frontier so as TO help the Car
rama government" was asked.
Il don't wish to say anything about
it as it might be %prejudicialt to the sue
cess of the conference" replied the
minister of war.
General Obregon in reply to q aues-
ton said that he thought the defacto
government had sufficient troops to
take care of lila and his bands with
out aid from the United States.
General Obregon. do YOU think Villa
is dead?"
81 do not believe Villa is dead,' was
the quick reply, "but / am positive that
he is wounded, and suffers for lack of
medical attention, and, therefore, has
small chance to be personally active
again in any campaigns"
Have you sufficient troops to cap

yes" answered Oregon, that will
be easy. His bands are broken up and
it is only a question of hunting one

General Obregon declined to talk
about the financial situation in Mexico,
saying that he was a military man and
those questions should only be con-
sidered by the minister of finance. He
laughed loudly when asked about the
report of friction between the first
chief and himself.
There never has been any friction
between General Carranza and nysel1

why.

During the year from September,

there were more idle cars rusting on
the sidetracks of this country than
ever before. But now these cars are
moving again. They are carrying pro-
visions down to the sea to be sent to
the nations at war. Eliminate this
business and the conditions of our
railroads would be as bad as they
were in the early part of 1914.
Our shipyards are buster than they
have been for many years. But what
are they doing? Building ships to
carry supplies to the armies of Europe.
Germany's great fleet of vessels is

informed In the various ports OF the
world. Many vessels have been des-
troved during the war. Never was
there such a demand for shipping, out
This is entirely due to the result OF
the contest in Europe.
The Cause of Prosperity.
Every industry in this nation TO-DAY
that is enjoying even a normal degree
of prosperity derives that prosperity
from the awful tragedy that is now
devastating the world. And official
figures will demonstrate In every IN
stance that this is true.
Our trade with Europe during the
wear from September, 1914, to Septem-
| her. 1915---the year OF war as COM
pared with the year Immediately pre-
ceding-the year of peace-increased
in swar orders alone over $1,O1O,OOO,-
600.
The wayfaring man, though a fool,
can look upon these figures and there
will read the story OF our present
prosperity.
Every prosperous mill and mine,
field and factory, and workshop in
this nation today is directly connected
by the sordid threads OF gain with
the blood-red battle fields OF Europe.
Cut these connections and our prosper
ity would wither as does the blossom
ing harvest before the hot winds OF the
desert. When the last echo of the last
cannon shot dies in Europe then dies
our present prosperity.
Prosperity Measured by Blood and
Tears.
Who will boast OF the prosperity
here that is measured by the blood and
tears shed across the sea? Our pros
perity is measured by the toll of hui
man life taken from the armies of
Europe We want the prosperity Of
peace and not the prosperity of war.
We want the prosperity that tells of
happiness and content and joy, and
not the prosperity of grief and anguish
and despair. Our present prosperity
is the prosperity Of misery and mis-
fortune. 1t is the prosperity of muir
der and passion. Our present prosper
| ity is human life measured in money.
Our present prosperity is coined from
human hate, stained with human
blood, widowed with human tears,
filed with human agony and despair,
blackened with shattered hopes and
ruined lives and marked and married
with tragic human death. l hope the
terrible truth may be burned into the
brain of the American people until no
man will dare to boast of this battle
field prosperity. If the Democratic
party wishes to claim the credit for
our present blood-soaked prosperity,
then certainly there are none that de
sire to share that honor with it. Gap

Belgium Has Won One of The
Richest Prizes of The War

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 2O.-If
tn ereported occupation of Ruanda,
German East Africa, by Belgian troops
from the Congo, and their establish
ment of a provisional government in
this territory prove to be authentic,
one of the richest colonial prizes of
this world war has been won by the
nation which has suffered most in
Europe. Concerning this region, its
people and it's colonization POSSIBLE
tiles the following bulletin has been
issued by the National Geographic So
ciety from it's Washington headquar-
tiers:
"If Belgium is able to retain her
hold on the Ruanda region of the Ger
man East African protectorate she
will possess the most denseIy populat-
ed as well as one of the most fertile
and salubrious territories of Central
Africa.
"Ruanda lies to the east of Lake
Kiwu, through which runs the bound
airy line between the Upper Congo reg
ion and the German possessions. To
the north lies British East Africa.
The Kagera River, also known as the
Alexandra Nile, flowing in irregular
shape, east, north and east, and empty
ing to Lake Victoria Nyanza, is the
eastern boundary.
while there are two considerable
tracks of forest in Russia, the central
portion of the territory is bare of
trees, but on the mountain slopes there
is to be found wonderfully rich grass,
on which Craze magnificent herds Of
cattle that constitute the chief wealth
of the natives. The agricultural pos
,sibilities of the region are almost un-
limited.
"One of the most striking advant-
ages of this territory is its high alti-
tude, an average of nearly a mile
above sea level, so that although it
lies under an equatorial sun, the tenn
perature is usually about the same as
that of warm summer day in central
Europe. Malarial mosquitoes are not
known here, nor does the dread tsetse-
fly hover over the land, bringing
sleeping sickness to human beings and

JAPAN STARTS MILITARY
TRAINING IN COLLEGES

TOXIC, June 20.-The Inauguration
of military training among university
students as a result of the war has
been followed by similar measures in
many primary schools of Toxic. The
army authorities have approved the
idea and have delegated officers to in
struct the boys. A certain amount OF
rrdimentary training has been given
in Japanese schools since 1886 when
it was recommended by Viscount Ar
irori Mort, minister of education, who
had previously served as minister to
Washington. The drill has been con-
Quoted by the teachers but under the
new idea the training will be in the
hands or army officers and will be
more thorough. The system will be ex-
tended to all schools in Toxic and oth-
er cities. 1t represents one form OF
greater Japanese preparedness"

The Sport World With Local
Color Dished Time to Time

NEW YORK, June 20.-The invasion
OF Eastern and Middle Western vars
ity fields by Pacific Coast collegiate
teams as examplified by the California
and stanfoF track athletics will be
conducted upon a broader scale next
spring. Representatives of the far
coast universities now in the East are
planning for a series of competitions
in various lines of sport which will
surpass anything attempted in this di-
rection in past years.
Graduate manager E. C. Behrens is
authority for the statement that the
Stanford University baseball team will
play number of games in the East
and West during tour to be made in
May and June. The Stanford squad,
consisting of about fifteen men, will
leave May 10 and play games with all
the leading college and university
mines, during its tour to the Atlantic
coast, including Michigan, Chicago,
Illinois Minnesota, Wisconsin, Har-
ward, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Penn
sylvania, Columbia and other institu
tons. The itinerary of the team
which is now being arranged by Nat
Strong of this city, will include a
number of Commencement Day games
il, the East.
Coach Hiram Conibear of the Uni
versity of Washington crews, who has
arrived here for the intercollegiate
and Harvard-Yale regattas, is planning
to invade Poughkeepsie next June
with an eight-oared varsity crew
which is said to be the fastest ever
developed at Washington, so far as
can be judged from the material and
performances of the season just clos
ed. Stanford also desires to race on
the Hudson again in 1917 and it may
be that both crews will take part in
the regatta of next year, unless it
should be shown that one is consider
ably superior to the other.
The intercollegiate and Conference
Athletic Association officials have been
given to understand that Stanford,
California and possibly third Pacific
Coast university track team will try
for Eastern honors in 1917 provided
the athletic material in sight performs
I'D to the marks expected by the coach
es. A football game or games between
ore or more of the leading Eastern
elevens and university team from
California or the Northwest is also
among the possibilities. Correspond
anee looking toward such contest is
under way and the indications are
! favorable at this time.

1.-TWO remarkable contrasts are to
be found among the natives of this
region. The highly developed, intelli-
gent Watussi are magnificent physical
specimens, 1.-THE, well-proportioned
and athletic. 1t is not uncommon to
meet men from five feet eleven inches
to seven feet two inches tall. On the
other hand, on the island of Kwidsch-
wei, in Lake Kiwu, and in the bamboo
forests of Bugoic the traveller finds the
pygmy Batwa tribe, whose spear-car-
rying warriors are under five feet in
height, shy, timid and devoted almost
entirely to the chase. The aborigines
belong to neither of these tribes, how
ever, but are the Wanutu, medium
sized, agricultural people. The black
Sultan of the region, one of the worlds
most powerful potentates ruling in
territory held by white colonists, is d
Watussi. His word, subject to the
censorship of the European Resident
or Governor, is law to million and a
half people.
There is abundant water in RuanI
da, the small mountain streams never
running dry. When the grass be-
comes parched on the hillside the ma
tives burn it off and Immediately there
springs up fresh, tender pasturage for
the cattle. THE perfunctory saluta-
ton among friends is one OF the inter-
estng customs of the country. Upon
meeting they either place their arms
lightly about the waist or else grasp
each others elbows, holding them for
while, then one declares 4 wish you
cattle, while the other replies, I wish
you women
This region was first explored in
1894 by Count Won Gotten, formerly
Governor of German East Africa, who
came from the coast as far as Lake
Kiwu, about which Arab traders had
frequently brought vague reports. This
beautiful, island-dotted body of water
5000 feet above sea level, was the last
considerable lake to be discovered in
Central Africa It's outlet in the Rus
iii River, which flows south into the
famous Lake Tanganyika.
Zone of the most noted parties OF
eA ploration which has visited Ruarda
was that headed by Adolphus Freder-
lex, Duke Of Mecklenburg, who march
I'd through the territory with an i'm
p1 essive retinue OF carriers in 1903.
Il. his report he said of this region:
'Ruanda is eminentlly adopted for coll
ouization by white man. The country
possesses a fabulous amount of wealth
in its herds, to the breeding of which
its pastoral people are particularly
devoted. Also agriculture may BE-
carried on in a remunerative way, fol
the quality of the cattle itself is as
excellent as that of the milk thel
yield. AS to the quality Of the soil, i
