If the United States government would
like to know more about the rapproche-
ment between Germany and Mexico, so
called, it should get into touch with Mr..
Villa, whose whereabouts has been a

some German agents even if some OF the
Carranza officials were really in ignor-
ance OF the proposal.

to the height of Adam and Eve. He
said that the father Of tie race was

Queer Laws.

There are in force in Switzerland
certain laws which, in the hands of
the unscrrpulous, may work great
havoc with personal rights and liber-
ties. This is II point concerning which
there can be no dispute. For instance.
in most cantons men and women may
be punished not only for what they
have actually done in the past. but al
so for what may possibly result in the
future from what they have done.
Suppose a man is spending week by
week all he earns. Then the local au-
thorities. acting in conjunction with
the police, may send him to a penal
workhouse, on the pretext that his
conduct is such that he may later be-

The Passing of Eugene Mullen

Eugene Mullen died at his home,
Thursday morning, November 5th, af-
ter a long illness Thus death has
claimed another of our Civil War vet
Grams.
Mr.. Mullen was a soldier of the
Civil War of 81 to '65, was a ma
tive Of Pennsylvania He enlisted
in an Iowa cavalry regiment and
served during the war and was hon
orably discharged February Is, 1866.
He has been a resident of Hays for
nearly forty years. He leaves a
large family and many relatives to
mourn his loss.
Mr.. Mullen was 2 strong and un-
compromising republican and a pa
triot whose belief in the institutions
of this country were unbounded and
had he been thirty years younger at
the breaking out of this present war
would no doubt have been at the
front in Fance today.
'My country it's of Thee" meant
more to Eugene Mullen than it does
to great many men who
boast of their patriotism and
wealth. May the God of humanity
and the God of battle rest his soul
