history. Never before, so far as can be learned, has any aircraft fallen accidentally in the heart of city. l The fact that the blazing debris fell on the bank building probably saved lives, as the streets were thronged with late afternoon shoppers and clerks and other employees, on the way home from the various banks and brokerage houses in the LaSalle street district.
 Thousands of persons throughout pthe loop had witnessed the balloons flight. It's passage westward from the lake was marked by pedestrians and many stories of eye-witnesses of the catastrophe are being collected by the police in the hope that some light may be thrown on the cause of the disaster.
 Most of the stories agree that the explosion occurred at a height of about 800 feet, possibly a little more. The dirigible was sailing on an even keel when puff of smoke was ob- served near the stern where the en- zines were located.
 AN0ANCSiy, WlCACoOCS, uS- clare, there followed the sound of an explosion and the, machine was en- veloped in flames.
 "The passengers must have been all ready to jump" said one spectator, flor the moment, noticed the smoke, the parachutes began dropping. Some of them caught fire. I saw one burn completely and it's occupant fell, also mass ofsflames."
 Built for Passenger Service.
 Akron, Ohio, July 21.-The dirigi- ble destroyed at Chicago was built on the same plan as the A14, the first airship to land on a building in the United States. Willard s. Eiberling, head of the balloon department of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber com- pany, said tonight. He added that the balloon, was designed to carry ten persons and was to have made flight to Akron next week for possible use in the Cleveland-Akron passenger service.

service of the police department and the various civic
organizations be enlisted in the business of furnish
ing the names of children who should be remembered
Christmas morning. We would add the sugges-
ton that the readers of The Republican who live in
all parts of the CITY, in every block of it, and may
be expected to know something of the condition of
their neighbors, send the names and addresses of
such children The Republican office where they may
be collected and listed. There should be received

be furnished them. The first thing. though is to
secure the list of children whose stockings are in
peril of being empty. Then we can proceed under

There is printed in this paper a coupon which may
be filled out by those who to help in this work
Fill it out and forward it to this office. Also there

The Condition of the President

The latest phase of the Mexican affair is directing
attention more acutey to the physical condition of
the president which has been matter of speculation
since he took to his bed in the latter days of Sep
TENDER. There have been widely varying reports of
the condition of Mr.. Wilson We told at first
that he was suffering only from a nervous
attack resulting from overwork, and from which a
little later, learned that he happily though
slowly. recovering. Meanwhile it reported that
the president suffered stroke of paralysis which
had incapactated him from attention to the public
business.
There was not, however any public business dur
ing the several weeks following his seizure, urgently
demanding his attention. There executive
business that could not be transacted by the mem
bers Of his official family There were, is true
heated closing days of the contest in the
over the peace treaty but that purely legislative
business. Though in the earlier and less acute
period of the struggle the president had watched it
closely commented upon it freely, and generally di-
rected the administration senators, throughout oc-
tober no directions issued from the White House ex-
cept such as were carried on the wings of rumor.
TIL. senate having disposed of the matter so far
al Il could before adjournment the next move with
relation to the treaty to be on the part OF the
ox.o,+,ve Accordingly Senator Hitchcock called at
the White House just pelore the OoiNehH5 VI ''N
short session to ascertain the presidents views, and
though he remained the better part of an hour, he
WAS unable to see Mr.. Wilson, and came away, only
with the assurance Of Mr. Tumulty that the presi-
dents course of action would be made known later.
There was an intimaton an expectation at least, on
the mart of Mr. Hitchcock that the forthcoming mes
sage would outline the presidents course.
This episode naturally led the country to suspect
that the condition of the president was much more
crave than there had been previous reason to believe
This impression was strengthened by the message
itself the brevty of it. its reference to subjects
discussed in earlier messages suggesting the waving
of the hand of a sick man toward objects of which
he was too weak to speak
Then came the rapidly accommodating Mexican
situation bringing to the point of breaking off
diplomatic relations with Mexico whose injuries and
insults had at last become intolerable. They had
sumed such form as relations between two
tries in all history had never taken without pro-
ducing a rupture.
Yet, it appears from the statement of Secretary
on foreign relations that the and threat
ening phase of the Mexican question had not been
discussed with the president though it was the most
important executive business that had arisen since
we severed diplomatic relations with Germany and
Austria. We may suspect that the president had
even been informed of the newer complications
There is nothing in Mr.. Lansng's statement so
not proceeding without directing head That it is.

worrying about getting the of things that folks

pieces on the high c every night some new music
which she would like to receive give her inst what

you'd like to present him with-a safety razor and

instead OF giving Neighbor John j. Borrower a

was adopted by the president soon after the signing
of the armistice when the president felt that the
country would be free to take aggressive action.
That policy seems, from the remarks of the sec

at that time that this country would temporize
no longer, but was then prepared to Just when
such an announcement was made we are not in
formed but it must have been some time prior to
the departure of the president on his western tour

the last two nvasions of Texas SOIL almost certainly
before the capture and holding for ransom of two
American aviation officers and certainly before the

Our policy. whatever it may be, was one that was
formulated before the president was seized by illness
Though other recent grievances against
Mexico yet remain, are pleased to know that the
Jenkins affair has been disposed of by his release

had not the heart to refuse; but really
it seems, to put it mildly, rather odd
for a stout, elderly president to be
bouncing over hay-ricks in a wild eff
fort to get to goal before an active
midget of a competitor, aged years.
However, it was really great fun.
One of our recent picnics was an
innovation, due to Edith. We went
in carriages or on horseback to JAMS

view was lovely, and there was a de-
lightful old farm house half a mile
away, where we left our horses. Speck

me, looking more like Hans Christian
Anderson's little tin soldier than ever.
His papers as ambassador had finally
come, and so he had turned up at
Oyster Bay. together with the acting
secretary of state, to present them. He
appeared in what was really a very
striking costume, that of a hussar.
AS soon as the ceremony was over,
told him to put on civilized raiment,
which he did, and he spent couple of
days with me. We chopped, and
shot, and rode together. He was de-
| lighted with Wyoming, and, as always,
was extremely nice to the children.
The other day all the children gave
amusing amateur theatricals, gotten
up by Lorraine and Ted. The acting
was upon Laura Roosevelts tennis
court. All the children were most

were respectively George Washington
