AS for the knitters, they are legion
and it is wonderful how fast war
knitting goes, when one carries
knitting bag always on ones arm so
that the work may be picked up the
instant there is nothing else to engage
the attention. One even sees women
knitting In the department stores
while waiting for parcels and change.
And, en- PEASANT, is there any more
leisurely time to accomplish a rib or
two-or maybe several ribs? At least
the assurance that such waiting mo-
ments are being turned to good ac-
count will save ones nerves from the
fretting that usually follows exaspera-
ton of temper.

Those whose training and whose

Taking care OF the women and the
children temporarily bereft-or more
hopelessly, permanently bereft of their

Red Cross work. If you cannot knit
sweaters and sleeping helmets for the
soldiers, perhaps you can make little
garments for wee babies and toddling
children-whose fathers have gone
and whose mothers are sorely over
burdened to provide for the little ones
at home. The Red Cross needs every

stockings, petticoats and aprons. This
work should be labor of love to
many woman who protests that she

Renewed Mexican warfare, will

of guarded troop movements to-
day taking place below the border
\ Certain big American interests
operating below the line are
known to be deliberately increas-
ing the strained relations be-
tween President Carranza and
Esteban Cantu, military governor
of the Mexican state of Lower
California.
They hope to see Cantu remov-
ed or to have his power greatly
curbed. .
Those who know Gov. Cantu,
one of Mexlco's most remarkable
and powerful leaders, assert this
would bring inevitable clash.
, Since the Withdrawal of u. S.
troops from Mexico, every influ-
ence of American business inter
ests dealing with Cantu has been
brought to bear en- Carranza to

to force him to lower the

The recent increasing of the La
Bolsa garrison, coupled with the
fact that representatives of big
American interests made a trip
to Calexico recently, lend color to
the statement that another move
ment is on foot to unseat Cantu.
Land owned principally by the
Harrison Gray Otis heirs in Low

than 100000 acres. The Cudahys
hold equally as much, and there
are many other extensive Amer

II 1t comes to a showdown,
Cantu will probably fight. But
he is very shrewd and diplomatic
and will undoubtedly make great
concessions to avoid trouble.
He is reluctant to antagonize
the president of Mexico or Amer
lean capital either, for from the
one he reaps his revenue, and by
keeping the good will of the
other he will be able to continue
to reap this rich harvest of
American dollars.
