GALVESTON, Texas, April 17.-Mari-

In order to approach the Mexican coast

RENEW RAILWAY
WORK IN MEXICO
RAPID AND IMMEDIATE EXTENSION
OF LINES IS PROTECTED BY DE-
PARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.

MEXICO CITY, Apr. 17.-Rafid and i'm
mediate extension of railroads in Mexico
is projected by the department of com-
muncatiOns and Public works in conjunc-
ltion with the various state governments.
Arrangements already have been begun to
complete the line from Santa Lucretia, on
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec line, to Mer-
ida, Yucutan. This line when completed
will form the connecting link in the north
and south route from Ciudad Juarez. on
the American border, 10 Merida. Ii will
run through San Juan Baatista in Ia
basco and Campeche. The state of Yucu-
tan, one of the most prosperous in the re-
public will finance the new line in conjunc-
ton with various electric lines connecting
with it. This right of way formerly was
controlled by n concession TO foreign cap
ital but the concession was declared for
feited because the holders failed to rom
plete the work according to its terms.
Another projected line will connect the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Mexico,
|traversing the country east and west from
Tampico, the maine Atlantic oil port, to
San Bias, state of Nayrit, formerly the
territory of Topic. This route will link
up Aguas Calientes, Zacatecas and other
important cities with the line of the South
ern Pacific of Mexico which now has ex-
tended liz line from Nogales to Compos-
tela a short distance south of the city of
|Tepic.
Notice has been given by the department
of COMMUNICATION 10 the Southern Pacific
company that it must continue its line from
|Compostela to Guadalajara, according to
its concession, and begin this work Of con
struction nj once, or the concession undes
which the company operate in Mexico will
be declared void. The distance involved
is not great but construction involves sew
eral complicated engineering problems, in
Guiding two long tunnels through the
mountains. The original concession pro-
vides for q bonus of 1880 pesos per Kill
ometer (about three-fifths Of q mile from
the government to the company for con-
struction of this line. The department of
communication in its warning To the
Southern Pacific company declares the
government will offer every aid in the
building of the line including financial as
~>istance and ~expeditine of supplies.

freshmen and s~ophomores will be required
10 drill three days a week and the upper
classmen on the other three days. 1t is
estimated this measure would increase the
cadet corps TO more than $500.
The university has military equipment to
supply all these men. There are stationed
Lerc six United States army officers-a
major and five captains-and five nom

allows these men to remain it il felt that
the students will receive military training

the work can be carried on in conjunction
with the regular scholastic program.
Great interest il being manifested by the
student body in all things military. The

Benito Juarez Car
Is Now In Museum

MEXICO CITY, Apr. 1.-THE private
railway ear formerly used by President
Benito Juarez and later used by President
Lerdo de Tejada, has been presented to
the National Museum by General Heriberto
lara. The ear, which was made in Eng
land over fifty years ago, is a beautiful
piece of workmanship, the interior decora-
tions representing incidents in the lift of
st. Patrick. When the Constituencies
army left Mexico City for Vera Cruz in
1914 the ear was pressed into use and has
been in operation throughout the cam

necessity of furnishing books and 9th
er good reading material to our sol
diers in France is such a self-evident
proposition that it needs no argu,
ment from me to encourage it. A
well-organized movement having this
for it's purpose, in my opinion, needs
only to be understood to be appre-
ciated by our people and encouraged
and patronized to a successful end.
1t is but natural that such a plan
should emanate from a people enjoy
ing the fullest liberty of institutions
and freedom of speech and action.
An efficit mt scheme by which the
choicest works of the ancient and
modern world and safe and sane cur
rent literature may be supplied will
be commendable, not only as an evil
dence Of our liberality and coopera-
tive ability, but it will keep the men
who are fighting our battles in SYM
pathetic touch with us and guard them
from many of the temptations of a
soldiers monotonous life, and will
suggest to them something of our ap-
probation of their patriotism and sac
rifice. The exalted ideals that compel
us to engage in this most sanguinary
of the worlds conflict, cannot be too
generously diffused. and in proportion
as the earth's peoples appropriate
democratic conceptions of liberty and
individual responsibility, in that same
proportion will autocracy wane and
disappear as menace to the God-giv.

FAMOUS GERMAN
HORSE FOR SONG

The latest importation of thorough
bred blood OF pretention has just been
stabbed at the Glenhelen Farm, owned
by John S. Barbee near Lexington,
Ky. This sire is Huon ii. German
stallion of renown, recently purchased
from the British government by Rich
ard Trimble. The purchase price has
not been publicly announced, aside
from the insinuation that Trimble got
the stallion for mere song.
IIuon II is fourteen years Of age and
has not raced since he was three
year-old. The horse IS by Ard Patrick,
out of Hyeres. His second dam is st.
Marguerite, also second dam of Rock
Sand. the stallion for which August
Belmont paid $125,00O and imported TO
this country.
In Germany Huon II won the Grand
Prix of Hanover. Twice he captured
the Grand Prix des Danes, carrying
iG0 pounds. Huon. during a brief rae
ing career. won upward of $4,000 in
Europe. The stallion was sent TO the
stud in England shortly before the out
break Of the European war. Contscat-
ed by the British government, II was
finally possible for Richard Trimble 70
acquire the horse almost at his own
terms.
