So many are the causes impelling
the United States to intervene in
Mexico, Alvarado declares, that the
conflict surely will come sooner or
later unless the Mexicans know how
to prevent it with ability and patriot

Aztec Relies Unearthed.

Announcement of the recovery Of
10000 specimens Of prehistoric Aztec
civilization from. the famous aztec

ern New Mexico has been made by the
, American Museum Of Natural History.
Work of excavation has been in prog
ress since the summer of 1916, funds
for which have been provided by Ar
cher M. Huntington and J. p. Morgan.
The scene of the exploration was
once a typical pueblo, or great forti-
fed house and village, and although
the work of unearthing the hidden
treasures is only partly completed,
what has thus far been found within
the crumbling walls so long hidden
from human view has exceeded, it is
said, the most sanguine hopes of the
Investigators. 49, -
Necklaces of shell and tortoise, agate
knives, pottery vessels Of various
forms and ornamentation, cotton cloth
and woven sandals are among the finds
reported by N. c. Nelson, assistant
curator of the museum and Earl FL.

Enough masonry in the ruin was un-

Y. M. G. A. NOTES.

The Saturday hikes are still going for
ward with telling effect upon every
boy who takes part therein. Each trip
adds considerable number Of new boys
to both the work of the Y. M. C. A. and
the Sunday school. Thursday evening a
live bunch of high school boys with
many Of the younger boys will leave the
city and camp ON the Des Moines river
southeast of the city. They will re-
main there until Saturday morning.
The greatest treat that the colored
boys of this city have ever had is prom
ised them this summer by the Y. M. G.
A. From June to September will be the
camping season of the city Y. M. G.. A.
The camp is located about five miles
above BUonu, iowa; in most ideal spot
on the Des Moines river. Ten days of
this season have been set aside entirely
for the use of the colored boys of the
city. Never before have the boys had
an opportunity for an outing in such an
ideal location, with all the enjoyment
that camp can afford. The entire ten
day program will be under the direc-
ticn of devout Christian gentlemen.
Help the boys have real good time
once. 1t is hoped that automobiles can
be secured from among us to take the
boys to the camp. Only fifty boys can
be accommodated. Some have already
made application for reservation with
the secretary. Get your name on file be-
fore it is too late. See or call Secretary

HUGE AIRPLANE.
WITH TEN MEN,
STOPS HEREDAY

The second big Handley-Page air.
plane to visit Souther Field, which ar
rived at Ala o'clock yesterday after
neon; carrying ten men, remained at
Souther Field all day today, being CIV
en- an overhauling, and will leave for
Mobile, on it's way to Texas, Friday
morning, according to present plans
of the officers in charge of it. 1t had
been planned to continue the trip to-
day, but necessary repairs delayed the
start, and the strong wind blowing
from the west, which would have re-
duced it's speed and prolonged the trip,
caused the decision to wait over a
day.
The huge ship arrived here after a
nonstop flight from Columbia, S. c., a
distance of 220 miles, in 1874 minutes.
The plane flew low during the last fif-
teen miles, because of the rain. Lieut..
Geo. M. Palmer, who piloted the other
Handley-Page on it's trip through here
a few weeks ago, handled the ship on
its arrival, but on it's departure from
here it will be in charge of Captain
Clyde G. bennington, of the training
section, air service, at Washington.
The other officers in the party are
Lieut.. Geo. L. Bradford, also a pilot
and Lieut.. Wayne Pittman, an engi-
neer. Six enlisted men, assistant en-
gineers, complete the crew.
1t was said the ship could make 70
miles per hour against strong wind
such as was blowing today.
