Warsaw, the largest city, is beauti.
fully situated on a plain on the Vistula
River. The main part of the city IL
close to the river, and houses are
quaint and many are very old. The
city has always been an intellectual
center and many of our finest singers
and musicians have called Warsaw
their home.
Pitiful Condition
The Socialists have appeared but
they are not making any attempt to
feed the women and children who
stand about begging for food. Num-
bers of children are going blind
through suffering with trachoma, the
dreaded eye disease. There are also
several thousand i'll from tuberculosis
Both of these diseases are from LACK
of medicine and proper food.
The old Jewish market. where g
great part of the foodstuffs were
handled is almost empty, as few can
get any food to offer. The once beau.
tifui boulevards, built in imitation OF
the Champs-Elysess of Paris. show lit.
lie of their old time splendor. Beggars
are everywhere.

as religion, but there are more than
900, 900 Jews about the city, both
Poles and Jews have little food and NJ
work. Poland's plight Is pitiful and
it may be many years and only after
, much suffering that this chrysalis of a
nation may come into the sunshine.

years would be eaten bare Of food
crops, grass and other vegetation by
destructive insects if it were not for
our friends and protectors, the birds,
which devour these bugs and beetles
by the billions and thus hold them in
check. Birds are the first lieutenants
in. every cleanup campaign. Some of
them even eat mosquitoes, and any
thing which helps TO get rid of these
suckers deserves a vote of thanks from
humanity. Birds protect the farmers
crops upon which we depend for our
main supply of foodstuffs; they eat
borer worms, larva and other injurious
enemies of the trees; and they attack
the moths, caterpillars and various
bugs that invade the fruit orchard.
Take the case of the late Frederick

some of the cherries among his trees

listened to the sad story OF its dis

that the time would come when that
once proud ana happy people would
be united under a Government of their
own. They had felt the hand of op-
preston and suffered all the ignominy
OF a conquered and dospised nation.

their freedom and their right to live

Continued from page one1

imprisonment Justified"
1.-THE Imprisonment Of Mr.. jenkins is
Ineither unjustified nor arbitrary, as
your note asserts, he himself having
rendered and signed contradictory tes-
timonies concerning the abduction of
which he was the victim. The judge
has had sufficient cause for supposing
him tc be responsible for the crime of
endering false judicial testimony, and
tins has merited his Imprisonment.
However, this Imprisonment does no,
in itself signify that Mr.. Jenkins is
culpaLle. as this can only be establish
ed by final Judgment .
During the course of the prosecu-
ton the accused may at any time re-
quest and obtain his liberty under bail.
Mexican law is very liberal in granting
it, the request and deposit of the
amount fixed by the judge sufficing
Mr.. Jenkins, by refusing to exercise
this right. Notwithstanding that he has
been invited repeatedly to do SO and
that the judge has fixed as bond the
sum of 1000 pesos. cannot, strictly
speaking, call himself o victim of mo-
lestation which he voluntarily inflicts
upon himself and furthermore he is
being held in prison with all the at
tentions and comforts compatible with
his condition.
u. S. Stand Attacked.
Tho Mexican government finds it
self unable to grant this demand for
liberty contained in the note under re-
ply and 1t is supported by strong rea-
sons founded on the law Of nations and
considerations Of a constitutional ma
ture. o"
THE government of the United
States appears to act Gnder the
viction that Mr.. Jenkins is absolutely
innocent, notwithstanding the fact tina
this matter is in the course of investi-
cation. The Mexican government,
without attempting to claim that Mr..
Jenkins is culpabie limits itself to sub
mitting the foregoing considerations to
the United States. trusting that the de
partment OF state will postpone is judg-
ment until the tribunals have pro-
nounced their sentence, being assured
that the officials of the Mexican gov
ernment have no intentions of causing
molestations or prosecutions to Mr..
jenkins, but solely sincere desire to
act with Justice"

While the crest of the Cave creek

IS believed the greatest danger is over.
Chief damage done was to highway
and railway bridges. and to the canal
systems.
Little apprehension was felt today
that the flood now would reach the
state capitol grounds although all Off
GERS moved out of the basement of
the capitol building as precaution.
The Arizona & Eastern railroad and
the state highway bridges over the
Aqua Fria river were swept away.
SO far as is known there has been
