ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, July 31.-So numerous
have become the reports of German
spy activities and propaganda in Mex
leo that Ambassador Fletcher has
prepared, on his arrival in Mexico, to
call the attention of the Mexican gov
ernment to the matter.
No doubt is left of the existence of
d German organization in Mexico
whose Vaccinations may be defined as
a violation of Mexico's neutrality.
Evidence has been produced that Carl
Heyman, who was arrested a few
weeks ago, was intimately connected
with the German spy system in Mexi-
co and that the men who formerly re-
ported for him are continuing their eff
forts there.
American agents are watching
Richard Everbusch, the German con
sui at Tampico, a former partner of
Heyman. 1t is freely charged that the
recent strikes in the Tampico region
were fomented by German agents, who
in some cases worked through Indus
trial Workers of the World.

A SOLDIERS KIT

The following will be helpful to any
new members of the National Guard:
Take with you the little necessities
of army life, and don't be dependent
on your fellow soldiers to supply you.
A shave or a shine is a small thing
and no one begrudges it, but many of
them count up rapidly. Every soldier
should provide himself with a tooth
brush and paste, razor and strop, a
shaving brush, tale powder and small
pocket mirror, comb, towels, soap and
shoe polish. Also writing material,
including stamps. AS small as each
of these things may seem, they will
be found very needful at nearly all
times and Uncle Sam does not tissue"
any of them. A Soldier.

Benevolent Mans Advantage.

The benevolent has the advantage
Of the envious, even In this present
life; for the envious Is tormented not
only by all the Ill that befalls him, but
by all the good that happens to an
other; whereas, the benevolent man is
the better prepared to bear his own
calamities unruf1ed, from the COM
placency and serenity he has secured
from contemplating the prosperity OF
all around him.-CoIton.
