seamen than any nation ever did, and
the Arrangements to care for the nearly
two hundred thousand men disabled

dent In camp are near completion.
When this army returns there will be
no need for public charity which might

cation, operating under the vocational
rehabilitation act, will restore health,
and In the case of permanent injury
teach trades that may be followed.
During the process the pupils living

The Swallows Back.

An Indian legend tells us that when
men first came on earth they bad no
fire. The Great Spirit taught them
how to do many things; he taught
them how to get food from the for
est, fish from the waters and corn and
beans from the earth, but fire they
themselves must learn to make.
Even with all the gifts they had
showered upon them they were not
happy, but kept thinking all the time
OF the one thing which they still want
ed. instead of enjoying the many
gifts which were already theirs. All
fire was then in the sun, and they
could think of no way to get ii. Men
could not reach 1t in any way, and no
bird cared to 60 after 1t.
Finally the swallows. who could fly
more swiftly than any of the other
birds. offered to go TO the sun so far
away and bring this gift to men.
The swallows back is stin black,
but no n yer tried to get fire from
the sun again that way. Long years
afterward men learned how to make
fire by rubbing sticks together.

unable to start things. A truant mind
Is sure to embarrass any one who per-

you to be dreaming of the girl you
might have married when you have
tied up to another? What's the use

can redeem it. The only thing pos

RETURNED TEUTONS TO
HAVE NO RECEPTION
IN OCCUPIED AREA
AMERICANS BAR BIG GREETINGS
FOR PRISONERS RELEASED
BY ALLIES

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANY, Aug. 19.-Public re-
%ceptions and meetings planned by
civilians in honor of returning Ger
allowed in the American occupied
area, notice to this effect recently
having been sent to the authorities
of the local government. The Ger
man Red Cross has been collecting
funds for several months in prepa-
ration for the home coming of thou
sands of Germans from France and
England.
A recent order by Major General
Henry T. Allen, commander of the
American forces in Germany. quotes
a letter to the Ober President of the
Rhine province as follows:
while sympathizing fully with
the natural desire of the German
people to accord a welcome to the
returning prisoners of war, never
theless, in view of the fact that the
military occupation must continue
until the treaty of peace is ratified
by the allied governments, and par
icularly in view of the necessity of
preventing any semblance of dis
order which might compel a resort
to disciplinary action, the command
ing general directs that you have
the regierungs-praesidents of Cob
LEM and Trier notify the population
of their respective bezirks that the
reception of returning prisoners of
war must be limited to personal and
family receptions, and must not be
made the occasion of official re-
ceptions. professions or any other
public assemblies.
This will not, of course. be con-
strued to prevent the Red Cross au-
thorities from serving refreshments
at railroad stations"

PARA, Brazil, Aug. 1.-THE
ending of the world war has given
a new impetus to the work of open
ing up the great reservoirs of nat
ural wealth, from gold to fruits and
valuable woods, which lie in the
valley of the Amazon. Several ev-
petitions of exploration are being
organized here, one of the most i'm
eportant of which is under the direc-
.tion of Henry S. Fleming of New
York, United States customs re-
ceiver at Para, who will shortly
start on a three months trip de-
voted to exploring the commercial
possibilities of the vast region
watered by the Amazon and it's
maze of tributaries.
The advance guard of another i'm
portant expedition Of scientists,
headed by DR.. Hamilton Rice of
Boston and his wife, has passed
through here on its way to Manaos
which will be headquarters of the
venture. A speciality equipped As
foot motor launch will accommodate
the party which plans to navigate
the Rio Negro to it's Junction with
the OrinOco in Venezuela.
General Rondon, the well known
Brazilian explorer who accompanied
Colonel Roosevelt on his famous
trip down the River of Doubt, now
named the Rio Teodoro by the Bra
lillian government In honor of the
former American president, has re-
turned here after spending almost
two years in surveying the wilds OF

which include gold, platinum. oil,
titanium, %vanadium, aluminium, tin,
rare cabinet woods, nuts and APP
parently inexhaustible supplies of
cacao, fibres and kapok.
The banks of the Amazon are in
undated for three or four months
each year and are said to afford
splendid opportunities for the culti-
walton of sugar cane, mandioca, rice,
maize, beans and other agricultural
products. Back of the rivers and
behind the forest walls there are
vast tracts of savannah suitable
for cattle raising. And excessive
rainfall at certain seasons of the
year which is followed by a preva-
lence of fever is the chief draw
back to the climatic conditions and
the hospital accommodations in the
region are very scanty. The re-
ported intention Of the government
to tackle this problem in a compre-
hensive IL is expected to re-
move one of the principal obstacles
to successful colonization.
President Pessoa has frequently
spoken of the United States in most
enthusiastic and friendly terms since
his return home and comment in
the newspapers throughout the re-
public shows that Brizilians are
looking to the United States more
than to any other country for finan-
cial and other aid which they need
in the development of their national
resources.

HIGHWAY
TO Be FINANCED
ROAD WILL PUT PHOENIX 3S0
MILES FROM SAN
DIEGO

PHOENIX, Ariz.. Aug. ia
plan for financing the highway from
Phoenix to Yuma, 'Ariz, considered
one of the most important road pro-
jects with which the Salt River
valley is concerned, has been an
nounced by State Engineer Mad
dock.
The proposed road would connect
with the California system of paved
roads and would place Phoenix ex-
actly $50 miles from tide water at
San Diego.
OF the total cost of approximately
$~2.175,OOO, it is estimated by Mr..
Maddox that. with the assistance
of state and federal funds nov
available or to be available in 1920,
the sum of $1,775,000 can be OBJ
tanned for the road. With this lat
ter amount, it is said, a fast road
can be built for the entire distance,
with the elimination only of certain
permanent construction. such as
concrete dips. The length of the
proposed highway will be about 1S9
miles.

President Pessoa, the newly
elected head of the Brazilian re-

of 100000 square miles, almost
five-sixths the extent of all Europe.

most identical to those of southern

The only industry which has been
