NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Thousands
Of commuters who make a round trip
daily from their homes in Westchester
county and their place of business In
New York were confronted today with
the problem Of finding other means
Of transportation than the trains of
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad. Service on the Harlem
river division which was suspended
yesterday owing to the strike Of the
railway shopmen resulted in the twen-
ty-five trains usually run on the Har-
lem river division daily each way be-
ing discontinued.
To relieve the situation the major
ity Of the buses which were rushed
from New Jersey to Brooklyn last
week on account af the strike there,
were being sent to points along the
Harlem river division. In addition,
private automobiles were pressed into
service in the emergency.
The seriousness of the strike situa-
ton upon the lines which run into
the city was indicated in a state
ment which showed that two-thirds
Of the systems car men had walked
out. Two hundred trains already have
been dropped from the time tables
temporarily with prospect of further
curtailment if the strike continues.

Weeds and Flowers Serve

Chickweed is an excellent thing BY

their leaves at the approach Of storm.
So certainly does this take place that
these plants have acquired the name

is also a species Of wood sorrei which

Passing the Buck

One of the most marked effects
of war time prohibition, and of
prospective constitutional prohi-
bition, has been enormously to
increase the sale of American
liquors to foreign countries. Thus
in the first eight months of this year
our exports were nineteen times
as great as our imports. while in
1914 our imports were five times
as great as our exports. 1t is
wrong for us to drink liquors our
selves but-despite the Biblical
anathema against him who putteth
the bottle to his neighbor's lips
it is all right for us to sell them
to others. There was fashion,

of yore that he was an American,
Representative j. Will Taylor of
Tennessee in speech in the

to Mexico. He called it burning
shame and disgrace"
"The repeated outrages and
atrocities committed by Mexico
on American rights both public
and private, is enough said Mr..
Taylor, Ito bring blush of shame
to the cheek of every true Ameri-
can. During the last six years
we have seen hundreds of Ameri-
can citizens, men, women and
innocent children, brutally slain
by alleged Mexican bandits; we
have permitted Mexican outlaws
to appropriate and destroy, with
absolute impunity, American pro-
perty into the multiplied millions;
and still we have done nothing but
protest. This last performance,
the kidnapping of Consul Jenkins
is the crowning act of Mexican
per6dy and audacity Behold the

Dear Sir:
"We sent you the only coal that

Ali lump and mine run not taken
by the Tramway must be given to

The slack coal released must &c

there is no Ignite available.
