During the journey into Mexico
on the miniature flat cars, the
group saw many acres of low lands
below and inside the levees, flooded
to a depth of several feet. Corn
fields were inundated and Mexican
residences had been abandoned be-
cause the water had crept into
them. Mexican farmers who had
been flooded out were outside the
levees, some hunting and others
gathering materials for new houses.
The river yesterday morning had
a flow of approximately $4,000 sec

One Mans Birthday.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Last week the former Kaiser celebrated his sev- enty third birthday. But because of him and what he represented the birthdays of millions of human beings were ended on this earth. And but for the frmness and humanity of his advisers including the stern demands of Hindenburg, the former En- peror ready willing and insstent in his desire needlessy to sacrifice lives in the vain hope that he might retain his sovereignty
 Perhaps today the Kaiser may look with approval and favor upon Japanese violation of solemn treaties upon her arrogant aggressons, he looked upon the treaty with Belgium. Such things, in his mind probably still represent nothing than scraps of paper However that may be, his memories should not be pleasant As an old mana defeated old man-and the private citizen permitted to live in modest Dutch community he presents pathetic picture with his shadowy gestures in support of dead royal customs. But he will never be regarded | in history who endeavored to make the present better world in which to live Pride and arrogance may remain characteristics of his per sonalityhe may find it possible to refuse to permit himself to believe that he in any measure responsible for the most terrible of human con- flicts to find recorded place in the worlds history but future generations properly will appraise him and the system he represented
 Whether the Kaiser hears them or not there are ghoStly voices-the voices of dead men, women and children-which cry out aganst him from many a bloody battlefield, from many ruined village and town, from the roots of many seas They cannot be stled While history lives they will call from it's recorded pages

POLITICS
 AT RANDOM
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

Despite much stirring of the ashes, the old League of Nations issue shows no sign of bursting in- to flames in 1882.
 No presidential candidate now is advocating American membership in the League. With the Republi- cans already committed against it, the two Democratic aspirants who stood closest to Woodrow Wilson Roosevelt and Baker-recently have said it would be no issue this year.
 At best it would have been a difficult task to draw party lines on such question Both parties were badly divided in the days of hottest dispute.
 One of the men who has most to do just now with Democratic party management was asked recently what would happen if the Demo- crats nominated an open advocate of the league. He replied:
 That would not make it a party issue. If anyone attempted to re- vive it on a partisan basis, we simply would produce some of the 1919 prologue utterances of Her bert Hoover"

Rouge ct Noir in the Red.
(New York Herald Tribune.)


 Players at roulette tables in the gambling casinos of France may place their bets by numbers or by columns or on red or black, but the casino conces- sionaires according to the dispatches are lament ing that hard times forcing them to make the greater part of their ledger entries in red only The total receipts for the year 1881, they complain, more than $3000000 shy of the figure for the year previous. and the Government bewaiS the crcum- stance which has caused drop of more than $2000000 in taxes.
 Somehow, however, these lamentations have about them sound of old and accustomed familiarity The cry that gambling in Europe is it's last legs is almost as hardy perennial the utter ruin of the Georgia peach crop and the intelligence that the British worldngman is giving up beer. To judge from accounts hardly roulette wheel is turning in this major industry of the Continent, and yet during of the worst" of all recent seasons around the green-topped tables the Municipal Casino at Cannes made than 21.00O,OOO francs while Frank J. Goulds Mediterranean Palace at Nice show ed a profit of but half a million francs less and the American entrepreneur refused offer of $1O,- 100000 for his establishment
 It is, of course, lamentabe that the casino of France should show a profit of but $10000O00 for 1931 but in view of the fact that the house cagnotte seldom exceeds per cent in these establishments there must be some players left. American travel CTS who still are of mind and purse to make over lures to Lady Luck will probably find wheels tables and croupiers enough to accommodate them.

SAVINGS DEPOSITS GAIN OVER HALF
 BILLION.

The trend of savings continues upward despite the present condition of industry and the extent of unemployment. Figures made public by the Na- that total deposits in mutual institutions reached the record total January of $l0030014 4385 while total assets likewise reached the record figure of sll,206875737 providing $l12s 253s73 of reserve to the safety of deposits
 Of the l8 States having mutual savings banks five experienced slight recessions in deposits The other thirteen registered gains Thus the total in- in deposits for 1881 $565 1893 and very considerable part of that increase was represented by the gain in New York savings banks which amounted to $466,348,132. The gain in l2 other States amounted approximately to $l00OO0O00
 The total increase of mutual savings bank de. posts in 1929 only s65,236,264, or $120OooO( more than the increase in the final six months o 1851 For the whole year of 1881 the gain in deposits was but $27000OOO below 1930 when the entire gain represented s592 607,440 The two years pro. duced almost identical results
 Savings bankers emphasized that the increase in deposits should not overshadow the gain in de positors the increase of 584179 indicating that q larger number of people than ever before were trying to assure their independence This increase brought the total of depositors to new high figure of 13,359,671. As in the case of deposits New York provided the largest proportion of new savers las, year-490,792.

age of $85538. Rhode Island came next with $8195S and Indiana followed $77904
 Perhaps the most satisfactory of these uniformly pleasing results the gain in surplus to $1123, 253973, also a record figure and increase of almost sS9,OOo0OO for the year.
 In year of deflation and uncertain values in many other fields not single mutual savings bank failed to pay is regular dividends which amounted to national average of 432 per cent approxi- mately $10O0OOOO0o paid throughout the year Connecticut had the highest average rate of dvi- dends, ATS per cent, with Massachusetts next, 45e per cent, and Delaware third 450 per cent.
 The first six months period of 1881 in- crease in mutual savings bank deposits of $512,- 235 489 while the gain in the last six months was $5S O464o4
 The countrys largest savings bank is the Bowery of New York City, which had $485 249 295 in de- posts January l. 1882 Second largest is the Emigrant Industrial of New York, with $393, 3,964, 911. Boston Five Cents Savings Bank is fourteenth on the list, with deposits January l. 1882 of $lOO- 078s9s.

Healthier?
(New York World -Telegram.l


 The health of Americans despite the depression has never been better than in the past few years according to report of a speech of Dr. Haven Emerson, of the College of Physicians and Surgeons in yesterdays newspapers
 Medical science he said has reduced the death rates in all but two classes, diabetes and suicide.
 Other reports of mid-depression health have gain- ed currency. But their validity apparent than real. The hospitals of New York City report no decline, but increase, in the total number of days of care. The decline has been among patients who used to pay for more expensive rooms Ward patients have increased. And the clinics are overrun, just the hospitals overcrowded.
 The number of deaths is not true gauge of the inroads which the unemployment blight is making upon the health of the population The effects are more subtle. The depression, through its denial of enough nourishing food to children by the hun dreds of thousands, is storing up ill health for future years
 The improved health which might come from en- forced simplicity of living and habits is vastly offset by the and tear of worry and the enfeebement of malnutrition, effects which do not show up in health statistics now.

REPORTING ALASKA CONDITIONS.

In making arrangements for having data on trade and economic conditions in the Territory published in the official weekly organ-Commerce Reports of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the Department of Commerce, Gov. Parks has performed a service of considerable value to Alaska The publication is used by manufacturers and busi- ness widely source of reliable information about conditions affecting trade and opportunities for trade development It is conservative and de- pendable. The publication monthly of brief reviews on Alaskan conditions will give the Territory the most widespread publicity it has had, and il is of the most highly desirable kind.

Leaders Split On Issue

The league dispute is an old and intimate acquaintance of this writer. He was an Associated Press Senate reporter throughout the bat tie over ratification travelled with Wilson on that memorable western speaking trip for the league, and was with Harding during the cam paign of 1920
 No one so situated could have failed to observe how every attempt to mix the league with party poli- tics turned up surprising results.
 Despite Wilson's iron leadership some of the bitterest and most effective opposition came from Democrats. Despite Henry Cabot Lodges unflagging effort, some of the leagues warmest friends were Republicans.
 Senator Warren G. Harding was a member of the Foreign Relations Committee One day he was called to the White House by President Wilson. This writer met him at the capitol door when he returned, and walked with him down the corri- dor. He said:
 "It is difficult problem. have my own ideas. but for the present I am in the buggy with Lodge and will ride along with him.
 Later, as Republican nominee for the Presidency, Harding stood against the league but proposed an Association of Nations, and as

May Bob Up Again

Recently some of the irreconcila- bles have been criticizing President Hoover for working with the league to stop the conflagration in the Orient.
 A possibility remains that this feature of the case-this great nephew to the original dispute over American membership = may be heard about in the campaign.
 But if it is, the safe guess would he that both Republican and Dem- oerats will be found on both sides Of the fence.

President he recommended mem. bership in the World Court.
Wilson Firm In View

So, too, among the Democrats Wilson himself was unbending, but time after time his staunchest sup porters counselled a compromise.
 While Wilson had no patience for anti-league Democrats like Reed of Missouri, he had a healthy respect for the Republican Borah of Idaho, and Borah for him. "He stands foursquare,' said Wilson of Borah, T always know exactly where to find him." said Borah of Wilson.
 Although these two happened to belong to opposite parties, the very depth of thei rmtItual respect em- rhasizes the almost universal per- sonal quality of opinion on the league.
