Ell PASO, Texas, Jan. 7.-Petty
smuggling has increased greatly the
authorities here say since the food
embargo was put into effect on all
shipments to Mexico. Mexican wa
gon drivers have been found with
sacks of sugar concealed in a false
bottom of their wagons. Women have
been discovered smuggling small ar
ticles of prohibited food in their
waists while every bale of hay and
sack of grain is searched by soldiers
at the bridge for contraband articles.
The food embargo has proved a sew
ere hardship upon the Mexicans in
Juarez who depended upon Ell Paso
stores for their supplies.

The Koran prohibits the use of i'm

not to permit the martial or civic dec.

to his home town to be printed with
a. view of trying to discover the au-

printed and commented on.)
AS long as the flowers their perfume
give,
So long I'd let the kaiser live.
Live and live for a million years
With nothing to drink but Belgian
With nothing to quench his awful
But the salted brine of Scotch
mans curse.
l would let him live on dinner each
day
Served from salver on golden tray.
Served with things both dainty and
sweet,
Served with everything things
Would make him bed of silken
sheen,
With costly linens to lie between,
With covers of down and filets Of lace,
And downy pillows piled high in
place;
Yet when to its comfort he would
yield
1t would stink with rot Of the battle
field
And blood and brains and bones of
men
Should cover him, smother him, and
then
His pillow should cling with rotten
clay
Clay from the grave of a soldier boy;
keep,
And while the waves their white
sands sweep,
He should never, never, never sleep.
And I'd build him castle by the sea,
AS lovely castle as ever could be.
Then I'd show him ship from over
the sea,
AS fine ship as ever could be,
Laden with water cold and sweet,
Laden with everything good to eat;
Yet scarce does she touch the sill
vered sands
Than q hot and hellish molten shell
Scarce he may reach out his eager
hands
Should change his Heaven into He'll.
And tho he'd watch by the wave
swept shore,
Our Lusitania would rise no more.
"No Mans Land where the Irish fell
I'd start the kaiser private hell;
I'd jab him, stab him, give him gas
And in each wound I'd pour ground
glass;
I'd march him out where the brave
boys died
n..A L. L. H. L. c@I
tomb
There's one thing I'd do before was
thru
I'd make him sing in a stirring man.

MORE NURSES WANTED.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 7-One Of the
most important requests since the
beginning of the war has just been
received by the Colorado State Coun-
Gil of Defense, outlined in the fol-
lowing telegram from Washington:
"More than ten thousand addition
al nurses will be needed for the Army
Nurse Corps by January first. An
other twenty-five thousand VIII be
needed by June first.
"An impression that no omer nurs-
es are needed in military hospitals
has gone out. This must be killed
Immediately"
This means that war work must not
stop in Colorado just because of the
talk of Peace"
Demands are just as urgent as ev-
er--if not more so. No cessation Of
activities in any branch must be
shown.

EPIDEMIC CONTINUES TO CUT
COAL PRODUCTION

Influenza continues to affect un-
favorably the production Of coal IN
many of the important producing
districts of the country, accord.
ing to reports made to James B.
Neale, Director of Production, U. S.
Fuel Administration. Instead of fol
lowing continuous course, taking
one district after another, the dis
ease has appeared simultaneously in
fields as far apart as Alabama, Pen
nsylvania and New Mexico.
In the Pittsburg district, for ex-
ample. the Pittsburg Coal Company
is short more than 14OO men from
this cause, indicating loss of more
than 10000 tons in output. In West
moreland county there were ap-
proximately 1000 miners idle through
illness. This means loss of about
10000 tons a day of highly es-
sential gas coal.
In the New River and Winding
Gulf districts of West Virginia, Pro-
duction Manager E. E White, re-
ports loss of 32,916 tons for the
week ended October 10, due to the
fact that both the mines and the
railroads are short of workers. AS
many as ninety men from one mine
have been i'll at one time, Mr.. White
reports, George T. Brown, Produc-
tion Manager in New Mexico, re-
ports that for four weeks that
mining district has been seriously
affected.
Judge H. c. Selheimer, Pro-
duction Manager in Alabama, says
that many mines there have been
closed. while others were obliged to
work on short time. The result was
noted in a production of 323,310 tons
for the week ended October 19. or
59,536 tons less than for the week
preceding.
