not create a passion for war. In fact,
my experience has been that those
who know most about war are the

We cannot be unmindful of the fact,
however, that in order to survive a
nation must possess a military force
sufficient to defend it from the enemy

FLOOD COVERS $1,000

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June 20
Twenty-one thousand acres Of Rio
Grande valley land, with crops valued
at s2,500,000 flooded in Hidalgo coun-
ty, fresh rise in the lower stretches
of the Rio Grandc as a result Of flood
waters which came down yesterday
afternoon from the San Juan river In
Mexico, while the cloudburst flood OF
the upper river is nearing its crest at
Laredo, $50 miles upstream, summar-
ICES the border flood situation early
today
Meanwhile the fate of $4,000 inhab-
itants of Piedras Negras, Mex. across
the river from Eagle Pass, isolated
since railroad and highway bridges
were swept out Sunday night, is caus-
ing grave concern. The city is sur
rounded by water and the food supply
is thought to be short.
The flood stage at Laredo this
morning was 81 feet and rising. Late
last night a stage of 40 feet was re-
ported at Palafox 50 miles upstream,
and that border village was threat
ened with inundation. Apparently the
flood is travelling at the rate of 13
miles an hour. its crest probably will
not reach the swollen stretches of the
lower Rio Grande before late Wednes-
day.

That section situated in Starr Hi
dalgo and Cameron counties contains

disputes were between the railroad
managements and the employees, and
when they could not agree there was

an appeal as the board was created
