Historic Little island.

On the little, misty, storm-swept Island of Iona, in the Hebrides to the west of Scotland, lie the ruins of the monastery whence came the men who Christianized the British Isles. The island has changed but little from what it must have been in those remote times. The same dense fogs still veil it, rising from the warm gulf stream, the same westerly gales howl over it, and in the little sheltered grassy hol- lows the simple people live and till the soil, as they did in the days of St. Columbia, who founded the monastery. Their implements may be more mod ern, but they are the same silent, kind- ly Celts.

A Stern Chase.

Although not overparticular about her work. Mrs. Brownstone's new maid fresh from the Evergreen Isle, was somewhat of a stickler for precision in language. ''Is it after eight yet?" asked Mrs. B. of her one ,mSrning as she came in from the kitchen on some er- rand. "Yis, num-" replied Bridget carefully weighing her words, 'It is afther it all right, but it hasn't got there yt! It has five minutes yit to thravel!"

Earliest of English Letters.

The earliest English letters of which there appears to be any historic evil dence is the charming note written by Matilda, wife of Henry I, to Archbish- op Anselm, in which she styles him her worthy reverend lord," herself ''the lowest of the hand1naidens of his holiness" Four centuries later anotll- CT notable letter was written by an English queen, the tender appeal of Anne Boleyn from her doleful prison in the Tower" to Henry VIII.

In Persia tears are thought to be a remedy for certain, chronic diseases. They are collected in sponges at times of sorrow and. kept in bottles by the priests. The antiquity of the super stition is attested by the mention of the custom in the Old Testament, Psalms 56:S.

Ohio's "Ejre Lands"

The term fire lands" was applied to . tract of country in northern Ohio. After the Revolutionary war when Con- necticut had ccded to the United States her undetermined land posses sions in the West she reserved tract embracing 5O0,0OO acres, now included in the northeastern portion of Ohio, to do as she pleased with. The land so reserved was called the Western re- serve, or Connecticut reserve. The state of Connecticut subsequently, sold it on easy terms to certain of her citi- zens who had suffered at the hands of the British during the war. Because they had thus suffered, the lands par celed out to them were called ''Suf- ferers' land," and as most of the suf- ferers were made such by fires, the lands were also called fire lands" The latter designation Outlived the for mer and was current in the history of Ohio for many years. The fire lands are now included in the counties of Huron and Erie.
 Easy, If You Know How.
 A local preacher tells an interesting story of an incident in which he took part while in another city. It seems that while in his study two middle aged people called with marriage li- cense and request that he tie the knot. The woman was a widow of Swedish birth and did not understand English, and the man, who was q Scotchman. did not understand her tongue. This gave the pastor pug gle to solve, but he decided to ask the usual questions in their respective lam guages. After the ceremony had been performed the pastors curiosity led him to ask the question. "You do not understand each other; how did you manage to propose to the woman?" After fidgeting about bit and hitch ing up his belt, the happy groom smiled and said, "To tell the truth, pastor, didn't have to say much.'-Worceste Post.

Latin-American Nations Are Falling
in Line Behind the United States
Against German Submarine War
(By Morning Journal Special Leased Wire.)

Washington, April 1i.-Without
formally announcing abandonment of
their neutrality, two more latin
American republics, Argentina and
Costa Rica, have given assurances of
their moral support for the United
States in the war against Germany.
Argentina choosing a middlekcourse
between those o. Brazil and Chile, has
notified the state department that she
recognizes the Justice of this coun-
try's stand against German agrees
sion. The communication contains
no intimation, however, that the Ar
gentine authorities contemplate an
actual break with Berlin.
Little Costa Rica, just emerging
from the ttroes of a revolution, sent
word to her diplomatic representative
here that she endorsed the course of
President Wilson and was ready to
prove it if necessary"
Argentina's position was defined in
a note reaching the state department
today in answer to the notification of
this government of state of war The
communication is regarded here as
defining a status just short of an open
break.
1t is recognized that in defining her
position so frankly, Argentina has
assumed the grave risk OF having Ger
many break relations with her. Ar
gentina's note follows:

British Headquarters in France,
April II (via London, 1925 p. m.
From Staff Correspondent of the
Associated Press) Under the most
extraordinary weather conditions re-
corded in France in a score of years,
the British offensive about Arras
continues successfully. This morning
the cavalry went into action through
a heavy snow storm and contributed
to the taking of Monchy Le-Preux
and other important positions.
The taking of Monchy-Le- Preux was
aided by a tank. The British infantry
reached the village late Tuesday, but
the German machine guns posted
there needed sa}ocial attention before
an attack. SO, digging themselves in,
the Tommies watched by their arms
throughout the night. Early today
the English turned their artillery
against suspected gun emplacements
while the "tank" circled the town,
scattering terror and death as it
went.
When it had completed its circuit
the infantry sprang forward from
their shallow trench and charged in
a sort of encirling movement, meet
ing with little opposition so well had
the artillery and tank" done their
work. A number of prisoners were
taken, as well as machine guns. The
remainder of the garrison fled in the
direction of n wood, whence later in
the day, reinforced, they attempted
to counter-attack.
The British have taken Copse
three-quarters of a mile northeast
of Monchy and also Pelves, on the
bank of the Scarpe. Roeux, on the
north bank of this vagabond stream,
misnamed river is now in British
hands.
Some of the hottest fighting along
the entire battle front is taking place
at Vimy, where the Canadians are
slowly but surely pressing forward
down the eastern slopes, their patrols
securing the forests which screen that
side of the ridge. All efforts on the
part of the Germans to shell them off
the crest or out of the woods have
failed

unanimous vote of the newly appoint

president of the New Mexico College
of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts
succeeding DR.. George f. Ladd, who

In a large measure the presidency
of the college comes to Dr.. Grille un-

honor seeking the man, rather than
the man seeking the office. Although
DIR. Grille is stranger in the NESTLE
valley, he is well known throughout
other parts of the state, especially in
the Peeos valley, where he has lived
for a number of years, and in the CEN
tral part of New Mexico.
The regents consider the college pc
culiarly fortunate in being able to Sc
cure the services of a man of such
educational attainmcnts and wide ex
perience as those possessed by DR..
Grille. First and foremost, he is an
executive. a business man. Then he is
a practical scholar, and, most impor-
tant, he is farmer. Familiar with
agricultural conditions as they exist in
New Mexico, because of his work in
connection with the management of
the livestock and products shows in
Roswell for several years past, and

element of the war time national
army. The present policy of the war
department of drafting only those
units now existing and such addi-
tional units as may be necessary to
fill out divisional organizations or
which have armores and other evil
dences of permanency would pro-
duce about 100000 men.
The department has decided, Sec
rctary Baker told the house military
committee during the day. to raise
the regular army up to the full
strength prescribed by the national
defense act, $4,000, Immediately on
the passage of the war organization
bill by congress. This means that
three additional inCrements, tOtaling
approximately $4,000 men. would be
required. Many new regiments would
he formed by dividing existing regi-
ments and filling each half up to
full war regimental strength.
Previously it had been thought
wise to add only the 1918 increment,
conserving the capacity of the regu-
lar establishment as a training force.
