CREATURES PREYED
 UPON OFTEN CAUGHT

However smart and awake to the frequent dangers that may at any time assail them, the creatures that are preyed upon are often caught; the preying ones get them from time to time, and if this were not so, they would increase beyond all bounds. It is true, also, that those that prey of ten go hungry, and they, too, have en- emies or diseases, which later amount to the same thing in the struggle for existence and the limiting of numbers So nicely is nature balanced as a gen. eral thing between the killers and the killed that if but an unusual in- f1uence enters in as an additional num- Der of carniverous creatures in any neighborhood, or the growing up of an additional amount of cover, there will be a falling off, on the one hand, or a considerable increase on the other of those animals that are preyed up- on.
 Thus is seen the influence, both ways, of mans part in natures com plicated contest. The gunners and trappers weigh heavily in overbalanc- ing the otherwise normal balance against both flesh and vegetable eat CTS, and where in the unusual good ness of his heart, man has endevaor- ed oyer considerable areas to protect nearly all wild life, the result is shown by a rapid increase among the pro tected animals.

WOMEN, OF BOSTON an-
 ai ACCOMPLISH REAL
 Si RECRUITING WORK

! Boston women are doing constru- ctive work in this crisis. For the past few days automobiles driven by wo- men ih regulation olive drab uniform and cap have been hurrying to and fro on Boston streets. Most of the time they were carrying members or officers of the National Guard. Each car carried on it's. hood an. official flag of the state of Massachusetts and at each corner policemen held up all other traffic to let these capably ham, died cars and their women drivers speed on their way.
 There were no traffic jams. Each policeman was instructed to let /cars with the official flags go by. as they were on the country's business and others could wait. The women be- long to the Special Aid Society and are members of Company A. Wonen's S Active Corps They are on duty at national headquarters.
 Mrs. Frances Gray of Boston, now Captain Gray, heads the company and has headquarters at her home. Strict military precision is maintained and calls on the phone are, met with ';Re- serve Motor Corps" and "No to Cap tain is not in. What can do?" and similar replies. The company is df- vided into squads of four cars, each under al corporal.

GERMAN PLEADS
 WITH HIS RACE
 TO UPHOLD U. s.
Blankenburg, Philadelphia Reform Leader, Issues
 Public Statement.

Rudolph Blankenburg, Philadel- 'phia1s Reform leader, has issued the following signed appeal, through the Public Ledger, to citizens like hlm- self, of German birth:
 ''The President has spoken.
 "In this hour of stress and strife birth or descent to declare their un- flindhing allegiance to the country Of their adoption, and to show by word and deed that they are true and un- faltering Americans. Deeply distress ed as we are that the century-old friendly relations between the Father land and our great Republic have been severed. much as we deplore the circumstances that have led to this unavoidable step, our duty IS plain We have sworn troth to the flag and we shall follow the flag, ready to do our duty.
 We sought a home in the New World and found it. We were invited and welcomed under the Declaration of Independence, under the Constitu- ton and under laws that assured us equal rights with those who had come before us. Now let us show that we are worthy of this high privilege, that we are worthy of American citizen ship, the priceless boon of mankihd
 "On attaining citizenship we fore swore fealty to the potentate under whose sceptre we were born, fealty which we, disowned, for we abhorred being slavish subjects of king or prince when liberty beckoned us from be- yond the sea and offered us equality among all men. This therefore, is our home, the country of our choice; to it's honor and defence we pledge our all
 "We> still Hove the country of our origin, we cherish the old fireside, the ties of affection and friendship bind us to family and home. We hope and pray that ere long peace shall return and that good will take the place of enmity and contention in this war; ridden world. By cordial co-opera- tion on the part of all this happy hour will be hastehed.
 ITO our President and to our com mon country we send greetings Our acts will show how we condemn and scorn the 'hyphen' so unjustly bestow- ed upon us as class. We are not German-Americans, but Americans of German birth or descent and as Am ericans we shall live and, if need, be. die."

Prominent Mexican
 Legislators to Quit

Queretaro, Mexico, April Two of the men most prominent in the de- bates of the Constitutional Congress, Luis Manuel Rojas and Jose Natividad Macias, have addressed on open let ter to General Carranza declaring that when their duties as members of the congress are completed they will re- tire to private life. Rojas and Macias are credited with having to a large extent composed the rough draft of the new Constitution submitted to the congress by Carranza.
 Their action, according to the open letter, which was read and made a part of the records of the congress. was intended as an evidence of good faith as to their desire to aid the cause of the revolution and the recon struction of the country and to ob- viate any chance of embarrassment to Carranza through attacks of those op- posed to them.
 Rojas and Macias are among the leaders of the so-called "renovadores' or members of congress at the time when Huerta seized the Government and who remained in that position after the assassination of Madero. Strong opposition against the reno vadores has been brought to bear by some of the military party.

Difficulty of Burying
 Dead in England

London, April 9-A new public danger threatens the country in the difficulty of burying the dead. It is caused by the scarcity of undertakers, coffin makers, and grave-diggers, and has resulted in delaying funerals for days, condition which, if aggravat- serious. To forestall that danger, and also to remedy the present situa- ton, compulsory cremation is being advocated.
 The tribunals which sit in all parts of the country and hear appeals for exemption from military service have pressed into military service every man whose work is not indispensable to the existence of the Nation. The result is that they have "combed out' the undertaking trade and taken most of the skilled grave-diggers for anoth- CT sort of digging.
 It also seems that the shortage of coffins is countrywide. The head of the largest undertaking firm in Lon don, which used to turn out between 600 and 700 collins a week, says that to add to the difficulties, the railroad authorities have made a new regula- tion that nothing over 112 pounds is to be sent by passenger train. This means that collins, with few excep- tions, will have to be shipped by freight. Bodies" he said 'are wait ing at every London station for hours for lack of labor to fetch them away"
 The Daily Mail has taken the lead in the campaign for cremation. It also sees danger~in two many ceme- teries 'This reform of funeral pro- cedure is long overdue says the pa per.

NOW IRISH ENGLISH

Many persons seem to see, or to hear, rather, something to be amused at in the soft Irish brogue. As mat ter of fact, most of the words of the Irish dialect are not Irish at all. but the purest of English-English a trifle antiquated, it is true, but never theless the real thing. The ears of Milton, Dryden, Spencer and Chaucer would not have been surprised to hear an Irishman speak of "a rough say" or "a clane shirt" At the court of good Queen Bess the cultured Eng hshman carefully garnished his con- versation with "goolde" rings and brave "swoordes'' and bored his friends withNccount of the smart say ings of the "childre" at "hoom.'' This was the English originally imported into Ireland by the cultured Irish, and the Irish have found it good enough to preserve.-Chicago Tribune.
