ALIENS ARE BUNCOED
Nine Italians Pay $225 to Reach City
But Are Abandoned.

Although nine Italian aliens paid
two smugglers $500 to assist them
to get across the Mexican border and
10 San Antonio. the aliens are held
at Laredo pending deportation pro-
ceedings, according to reports received
at the San Antonio district immigra-
ton headquarters.
The nine Italians, recent arrivals
in Mexico from Europe, were met
at the train ut 'Nuevo Laredo ac-
cording TO a statement obtained from
them, by a Mexican who -ffered to
smuggle them across the border. The
smuggler took the aliens to a hotel
in Nuevo Laredo where arrangements
were made 10 get them across the
border Each paid the smuggler S15.
After taking the aliens across the
Rio Grande in a skiff, the smuggler
escorted the party few miles inland
to n road where another smuggler in
an automobile was waiting for them.
The second smuggler promised TO take
the Italians TO San Antonio for SO
cash.
Instead of coming to San Antonio,
however, the smuggler took them TO n
small station on the I-G. n. and or
dered TIE aliens out of the car.
The aliens boarded the train from
Lar o and we're appSehended by I'M
migration Officers Mullen Hinojosa

the maintenance of the 5-5-3 naval ra.
ito of the Washington treaty.
1t is estimated that 10000 of the &c.
600 provided by law will be due to re-
tire at the expiration of their terms Of
enlistment, while the navy will be
lucky to get 40 per cent of these to re-
enlist. This constant turnover from
year to year is regarded as the weak
feature of the fleet.
Longer Enlistment Periods.
In stressing the problem in it's rela-
ton to personal efficiency naval experts
point out that the British enlistment
term is twelve years, while the Japa-
nese term is ten years, thus assuring
these countries permanent personnel
of trained men which the United
States cannot hope to have at the rate
of the present yearly turnover.
Doing away with the war enlistment
periods of two years and three years
and going back to the four-year period
will help to some extent, but even at
that it is estimated that, in order to
have personnel sufficient to maintain
the efficiency ratio of the 5-5-3 treaty.
the United States should allow itself at
all times larger personnel than Great
Britain has, while at the present the
total British personnel is 10000 men
greater than of the United States.
Not Enough Radio Men.
The constant turnover is particularly
felt in the bigger and more technical
phases of naval work. AS an example
of this it is pointed out that the navy
today is unable to maintain anything
like the requisite quota of radio teleg-
raphers, although radio communica-
ton is the very nerve center of naval
operations.
1t is estimated that there should be
enough of these to take care not only
of the fleet but of every shore station
under the American flag.
Development of expert gunnery also
is severely handicapped by the sanle
situation as regards personnel shifting.
Down in the fleet it is not at all I'M
usual to see officers of battleship
throwing dice to decide who shall get
an electrician newly assigned to duty.
The demand now is that congress
put some kind Of premium on technical
ability in the navy and allow compen-
sation which would enable the navy to
keep this class in the service for long
term of years.

Eighty Per Cent Of Fires Prevent

Protection Association.

Chicago.-There Is a bonfire In the
United States. blazing pyre fed by
frame cottages and brick factories, by
forests and farm crops, by ships and
automobiles. Every minute, year in
and year out, $1,000 is thrown into
this fire. Every half hour, day after
day, a man, woman or child is cast
into the flames.
There is no such bonfire in reality,
but the picture of the blaze fed by
money and by human beings repre-
sents the actual toll of fire in Amer

the 9th annual meeting of the Ma

convention at the Drake hotel.
$1,000 Lives Yearly Toll.
"The tragedy Of the whole thing is
that 80 per cent of these fires are pre-
ventable," said Fl. o. Lacount Of Bos-
ton, president of the association.
"Carelessness is the thief that is steal
ing $1.70 out of every $1,000 of the
nations wealth through the annual
fire loss of $5OO.0OO00O. Carelessness
is the assassin who annually causes
the death of $4,000 persons. through
fire accidents in this country"
The smoker who heedlessly drops
his pipe or cigarette ash into waste
basket and the person who thought
lessly losses a glowing match into a
pile Of waste are the ones who start
most of the fires. Next in order of
responsibility come defective Chin
neys and flues--proper cleaning or a

EXPECT BIC CROPS
Conditions in Western Canada
Please Farmers.
Seeding Has Been Begun Earlier Than
for Many Years, and Soil 10
in Perfect Shape.

With weather conditions highly fa-
vorable, the farmers of Western Can
ada, with the exception probably Of
portion Of Manitoba, have completed
seeding from ten to fifteen days earlier
than for some years past. In some
parts of Manitoba there were floods
which delayed seeding, but they have
abated, and left the land in good shape
for quick work and speedy germina-
ton. In Saskatchewan soil conditions
for seeding were never better. With a
generous quantity of snow, which after
melting left needed moisture, and an
other snowstorm after seeding was
finished, there was an ideal condition
created. From all parts of Alberta
there came the best of reports as to
rainfall and snow moisture, leaving the
ground in the condition required for
the prospects of good crop.
Spring, as in most other parts Of the
continent, was backward, but notwith-
standing this, as has been said, farmers
were able to get on the land earlier
than for some years. In fact, seeding
was practically commenced about the
18th Of April, which to many readers
may seem remarkable, when it is
known that several hundred miles far
Their south it was not possible to do
spring seeding for several days later.
Reports to hand. on the 10th Of May
state that wheat is up above the
ground in a great many places, oats
are being sown, and corn planted.
Farm labor was scarce for awhile, but
the demand has fallen off. One fea-
ture of the demand for farm help Is
that farmers are now employing help
by the year, at Of course smaller wages
than those paid for special work. The
increasing tendency to employ help by
the year is evidence that farmers are
not relying solely upon wheat growing,
but are going out into other branches,
such as dairying, stock raising, etc.
The prospects in all portions Of West
ern Canada were never brighter than
at present. Information regarding the
condition of the crops at any time will
