unusual opportunities. Not only in
E-xico 90 located as to afford natu-
raj field for investment and develop
fnent by our people. but she has I'M
exploited natural resources, the mere
scratching OF which would provfde
the means to clear off all her national
de3t and place her on sound fnan-
ciAl basis
With soil capable OF producing
all the cereal crops and 90 per cent
OF all the known fruits OF the world,
with vast tracts Of timber, including
many varieties OF precious hard
woods and dyewoods. with wide
range OF climate, with every known
mineral. and with oil fields which
exported more than SO million bar
rels in 1918.
Mexico needs only return to nor
NAL conditions and the introduction
OF modern methods and modern ma
chinery to bring her quickly into the
front rank of the producing world"

WOULD JAZZ no THE END
OF HIS EARTHLY CAREER

New York. July 1s.-"Oh. let me
jazz 1t around ~ long as can, won't
you? I know I'm going to die"
That Is the retort OF Philip Schill-
ing. awaiting trial for the murder OF
Police-LieutenAnt Patrick J. Ryan,
when the keeper chides him for
prancing around the cell all night,
singing and whistling.
Posing as a second Handy, the
Brooklyn murderer. whose indifter-
encA to his crimes startled the East.
Schilling resents the efforts of his
counsel to save him from the electric
chair.
I am ready to die" he said today.
II don't want to hang about this cell
longer. A lawyer would only delay
things. I want to get out Of here"
Though preserving CHEEKY mood,
Schilling occasionally lapses into
meiancholia- He Is sorry that he
killed the lieutenant.
I'm sorry killed Ryan" he said
but I had to do It, II was his own
fault. I warned him."

CAMP LEE

Statistics show an ever increasing
momentum In the recruiting campaign
throughout the United States army.
The recruiting ONCE at Camp Lee, In
building 2721 is contributing more
and more men and with the end OF
this week the grand total has ap-
preached very close to 1900 men en-
listed. in round numbers.
Four recruiting parties are busily
securing the state for recruits while
the steady stream of incomming troops
at Camp Leo furnish an ample field
for the re-enlistment OF men with
previous service. Saturday afternoon,
officers and S46 enlisted
men arrived IN camp and will be dis
charged some time Monday.
The mastering once 10 now able to
handle this number easily since it's
increase In personnel a few days ago.
1t will aim to handle men so as to put
them through the mill In thirty-six
hours which is a record average. 1000
is the normal capacity but one-half
again as many can be taken care OF
at pinch.
That the Dali is rolling Is ap-
parent from the weekly figures show
ing the total of men enlisted all over
the country. On June 7th. the first
week In June, the Erand total tor the
week was 5445. During the next week
only 4a59 men enlisted and the fol-
lowing week $40. The last week OF
June jumped to 6613.
The first week in July ending on
the 5th contained the holidays but In
spite OF this 1895 men entered the
service in those few days. The second
week ending July 18th. broke the
record OF all proceeding weeks with
a total Of 6948. The total men en-
listed in the entire army for the entire
campaign up to July l2th way over
1000 The grand total for the
present week IL not yet known but
according to indications It is apt to
bowl over any records yet attained.
Among other interesting figures It ID
noted that there were recently 4Ss vol
untary transfers to Siberia from men
already In the service. showing that
even the hard service In these remote
parts has attractions for the warm
blooded. Over 100 have already been
enlisted tor service In Alaska through
choice.
The standing OF Camp Lee among
the twenty eight largest camps in u.

from tenth to fourth in percentage OF
incoming troops enlisted. This speaks
