Most interesting Industrial Relic

Grated Ii.

Monterey, Mex.-What Is said to
be the oldest and most interesting
relic on the American continent has
come unScathed through the long rev
dictionary period In Mexico, according
to Martin Sergus, who has arrived
here from the southern part of the
country. He says he recently visited
Cuernavaca and went out TO nm an
clent sugar mill constructed in 1895
by fernando Cortez, the Spanish CON
queror Of Mexico, who personally SUI
perintended the mill and the adjacent
sugar plantation. This was the be-
ginning of the sugar industry on this
continent. Q
"rhat this sugar mill was built AMI
run by Cortez there is not the sight
est doubt" Mr.. Sergus said. Its his
/ tory is set forth in the early records
Of Spanish occupation of Mexico, and
the traditions of The natives confirm
tt. The mill Is IN good condition, and
had recently finished Il run of sew

Return Them to Suitable Employ

:" From Service.
GENERAL WOOD URGESACTION
All Lines of Effort Should Be Organ
lzed and Every Opportunity Given
Men to Settle Gown In
Civil Life Contented.
BY LEONARD WOOD.
MAJOR General Commanding Central De-
partment. United States Army.

POI hiiiSUef obihCb oAdtS@ Ti'iy
Appreciation of the work done by
u soldiers, sailors and marines in
the great war can best be shown by
active measures to return them to
suitable civil employment upon their
discharge from service. 1t Is a ma
tional duty and one not to be shirked
by Il nation that stands for Justice and
square dealing. Our soldiers were
sent to their training camps-to the
battle line-with every demonstration
of a nations appreciation of the sacrl-
flee that these men were willing to
make. Now that the active operations
of the war are suspended we are In
clined to lose Interest in those who
made our success possible. This Is
the time for the nation to show that 1t
understands and appreciates the sac
riflces which our men willingly made
when they answered the call for ma.
tlonal service.
The 100000 men indicted into the
service, less the dead, are being re-
turned to their homes. We must or
ganlze all lines of effort so that every
possible opportunity will be given
them to settle down happily contented
In civil life. Some of them we Will find
a bit difficult to handle, and we must
have considerable patience with them.
They have been through a big expert
ence. Some are n bit unreasonable
In a way, and perhaps 1t is hard for
them to settle down.
Ambition ls Aroused.
In seeing that they are returned to
suitable civil employment--and by that
| mean employment In which they
VIII find contentment-we will find II
at times difficult to deal with them,
We must remember that many of these
men, before going for the great ven
ture, had never been far from home,
had never seer the big things of life.
had never had the opportunity OF
finding themselves. During their serv.
ice IN the army they found out thai
all men were equal except as distin
gulshed one from the other by suef
characteristics as physique, educa
ton and character. They discovered
that men who ere loyal, attentive e
duty, always striving TO do more thai
required, stood out among their feel
lows and were marked for promotion
Naturally many of them now see tha
their former employment will not giv'
them the opportunities for advance
uleht which they have come 10 prize
and for that reason they want
change. They want a kind of employ
ment which offers opportunities TO

promotion. Many such men are fitted
for forms OF employment which offer
this advantage, and they must be given
the opportunity to try to make good in
the lines of endeavor which they elect
to follow. 1t is not charity to give
these men the opportunities for which
they strive. 1t is justice. Others are
not mentally equipped to take advan-
tage of such opportunities If offered,
and with these we will find 1t more
difficult to deal. They must be rea-
soned with, and directed, If possible,
into the kind of employment best suit
ed to their characteristics.
We will find many of the men pave
temporarily lost efficiency in the lines
of employment which they followed be-
fore entering the service, but for that
reason alone they must not be deprived
of the opportunity to regain their eff
cheney In those lines, nor can they be
offered reduced wages during this pc
riod.
Give Them Square Deal.
Our soldiers, sailors and marines
offered themselves for the great adj
venture. Many of them have been
through the great adventure, in which
they offered their lives, to the end that
justice might prevail and the world
be made safe to live in. Those who
| did not come face to face with the
! great adventure nevertheless were
ready to do so, and 1t was through no

When one thinks that it was built
nearly n century before the Pilgrim
Fathers landed at Plymouth Rock

be comprehended.
AT one end OF the low building Is
an altar where Cortez, on occasions,
is said to have paid his religious de-
votions. 1t is still a sacred spot in
the minds of the natives, who live in
huts around the mill.

He could never have seen me in

waving her trunk as she laughed.
"Then why did you say l had?"

much puzzled.

so great that they can see or think or
even eat with them l suppose. How
about that?"
"They never eat with their minds"
chuckled Miss Elephant.
Now all this time the elephants
were working even though they were
talking. They were in a far off land
and they We're doing a great, great
deal.
These elephants worked from norm
ing to night piling up great quantities
of lumber or wood and showing them
into the water, and helping to build
RATS.
This wood was ent to help make the
great ships which are being built and
oh, how proud are the elephants who
are working in this fine and mighty
work.

plant, 'it is all very well to live in
Il ZOO, but I'm glad l live here. for now

"0f course the elephants in the zoo
can't come way back here and work.
That would be a foolish loss of time
and money and effort in bringing them

though ! don't quite know what lucky
stars are, If they're the things to thank
for being here, | want to thank them
too"
And the ELEPHANTS went on working
quickly and steadily and they smiled
their funny elephant smiles and they
waved their trunks and laughed as
they said:
we help in the building of great
SHIPS which sail over the ocean. Were
not just good for doing tricks, we car

And those who were working witt
the elephants admired them more ant

SELLECK USED
 CITY FUNDS FOR
 OWN PURPOSES

The financial operations of Ches- ter Se1leck, now serving a term in the States prison for shortage in his ac- counts at the Fairfield County Ma ton bank of Norwalk, were discussed in the Superior court today when there was a hearing before Judge Curtis in the suit started by the city of NorwaIk against the bank.
 Selleck was treasurer of the first taxing district of Norwalk in addition to being cashier of the bank The city's funds were in the bank and it is claimed that Sslleck drew out S31,- 05S.27 from the city's deposits and used il for his own purposes. The city declares the bank recovered some of this money and appropriated it to reduce the shortage in Sel1eck's ac- counts as cashier. This is denied by counsel for, the bank who filed a mo- ton asking the city to make a more specific statement regarding the dates and the amounts of the checks. Sel- leck drew. Judge Curtis reserved de- cision on the motion.

V0N-H0LLWEC LIABLE TO FACE
 TRIAL ANYWAY

Berlin, Monday, June 30-Dr. Theo- bold Won -Holllweg, former German chancellor, offered on May 20, 1919, to surrender himself for trial by the allies, but withdrew the offer on the specific request of the government, which at that time took the view that Germans accused of causing the war or of acts in violation of the rules of civilized warfare should be tried either before local court or German judges His atti- tude at that time, therefore, was held to be undesirable.
 Now however, after peace has been signed and the Germans have agreed to extradite persons whom the allies desire to place on trial, the action of the former chancellor in offering to surrender to the allies is looked upon as purely personal. The government does not object to his action, as 1t is believed that he is one of those whom the entente intends to bring before the high tribunal.
