CONSULS) Washington, Feb. 27—Details of} how the 457 American consuls now in the service of the State Department | are “gathering information, extend- ing protection, enforcing American| Jaws and exerting American influ-! ence” in more than 400 cities of 50| countries are set forth by Wilbur J.| Carr, director of the consular service in the first issue of the American Consular Bulletin, a monthly pub- lished by the American Consular As- sociation, an unofficial and volun- tary organization embracing most of! the members of the consular service of the United States. “There is probably no class of of- fticers of the Government whose func- tions are less correctly understood by the public than consuls,” says Direc- tor Carr. “To one.man a consul is merely a visear of passports; to an- other the word consul signifies a florid traveling salesman charged with the marketing of American goods in foreign lands. Many a mother knows the consul only as a good and kind friend ‘In a far away land who found and sent her wayward son back to the old home in the United States. . “It would hardly occur to any of these individuals that their contract had been with an organization of trained men and women, costing about ~ $4,500,000 annually and returning to the’ treasury of the United States in ‘the year 1921 the sum of $8,500,000, thus showing-a-net profit to the Gov- ernment for that year of more than $4,000,000. Neither’ would it occur to them that the members of that organ- ization were serving .daily ten de- partments and numerous independent establishments of the Government in Washington and, through them or di- rectly, many thousends of individual citizens throughout the country.” Sapports His Statement In, support of that statement, Di- rector Carr recites how American con- suls handled 48,078 cases involving the protection and welfare of nation- alee the United States abroad in 1921. “The many cases of protection and relief, he adds, ranged from finding lost relatives and shielding well- meaning but indiscreet American travelers from the legal consequences of their rash acts, to rescuing indi- gent relatives from starvation and death.” y ‘That the consul was a great letter writer last year was shown by the figures on ‘correspondence. In the twelve month period ending June 30, fast, consuls abroad received 756,824 letters and sent out 871,891. Between times they handled 546,239 consular invoices, visead passports for 657,938 aliens and 150,117 Americans and checked the arrival and departure of 27,838 American vessels. In connection with their passport work, Director Carr asserts consuls discovered many frauds, “gangs of crooks. manufacturing and selling fraudulent passports, were broken up in many places in Europe,” and coun- terfeit passports, cleverly copied, rub- ber stamps for visas, counterfet fee stamps and seals—all were found and destroyed and the practices stopped.” THE COPPER ~ INDUSTRY [S- COMING BACK End of World War Delivered Temporary Death Blow— Resurrection at Hand Chicago, Feb. 27.—Dead for twelve months, the copper industry has aris- en, shaken off its shroud, and on April 1 will give promise of being on its way back to normalcy, according to reports fnom the copper sections of the country. War, or rather the end of the war, delivere@*the temporary death blow. ‘The armistice found the mines with great quantities of ‘copper on hand. Demand suddenly ceased. The mar- ket collapsed. Through a year of general depression the qopper indus- try was among those hardest hit. But the resurrection is at hand. Re- vival of copper mining on a “cautious” scale to start about April 1 is. an- nounced by the Calument and Hecla company, the Utah Copper company and the Anaqonda Copper Mining company. At that time more than a million acres of land will renew their yield of red metal. Several mines are already operat- ing. Others have started preliminary work to have everything ready for the miners within a few weeks. Nvith all mines operating at capac- ity—and this is not expected for many months—approximately fifty thousand men are employed in the country’s copper mines. Montana and Michigan with 20,000 each provide the great ma- jority of work with Arizona and Utah making up the rest. At the time of the shutdown a year ago, however, no mines were operating at near ca- pacity. In 1916 Michigan copper mines employed 20,000 men. This dwindled until in 1920 the number was 7,500. In 1921 the number shrank to 3,700. <A similar percentage of employment decline prevailed.in other copper: fields. About half of normal production is expected this spring, reports from the four chief copper mining areas indi- cate. Population of the earth doubles itself in about 250 years.

Because many of the most pnomi- nont figures in this new revolution, all well-known here, are mere youths —one of them is a boy of 17. The youthful leaders are: LUIS SIMENTHAL, 17, entrusted with the dangerous mission of burning railway bridges tio check a counter at- tack by federal troops. NICOLAS RODRIGUEZ, 28, “gener- alissimo” of the active army, a mod-) ern Robin Hood, who turns over to the poor proceeds of bholdups. “GENBRAL” FRANCISCO GONZA- | BS, 26, eat “GENERAL” JUAN MERIGO, in his early twenties. Before the revolutionary troops started their march south of the hor- der, Simenthal volunteered for the perilous task of traveling ahead in the enemy’s country and preparing the way for the invading army. Traveling by night and in disguise, the lad reached a point south of Juarez without being molested. For what federal agent would suspect a boy of 17 of being connected with revolutinary activity? Keeping under cover throughout the day, Simenthal went at night to two important railway bridges outside of Juarez. \ He. covered the abutments of the bridges with inflammable liquid and applied a match. When the bridges were in flames, Simenthal stolo away into the night. Going farther south, he sought ref- uge in a mountain retreat, waiting to burn more bridges. But the federal authorities had learned of his pres- ence—and his errand. ‘Dodges Federal Troops The federal troops closed in on his cave stronghold and surrounded him, Then—while the federal leader was chuckling over his“capture and order- ing his men to close ‘in—Simenthal slipped out thnough a secret exit. He’s still hiding in the hills. The most picturesque figure in the revolution is “Generalissimo” Nico- las Rodriguez, benevolent bandit, whose life reads like a page from a wild west nickel thriller. ‘Rodriguez is a man without a coun- try. He'd be shot if captured by the Mexican government. He's wanted in the United States for illegal entry. Rodriguez, those who know him tell, held up a Mexican Central train near Juarez last April in. approved movie style. He went to this trouble, he ex- plained, because he wanted to talk to Enrique Creel, a passenger on the; train. Having completed his chat. with Créel, Rodriguez leaped from the train i and proceeded by horseback to Chi huahua City. Robs Tax Collector There he held up the federal tax collector and took 850 pesos. The money, Rodriguez said, was taken to compensate himself for government seizure jf his crops on a farm he for- merly operated near Torreon. As Rodriguez was making his get- away from Chihuahua ‘City, he met three school. teachers Who told him: they were hard pressed for money, not having received their salarios. So. Rodriguez turned the 850 pésos ‘over to the teachers and threw in his own saddle bag! Another story about ‘Rodriguez is that ho gave an old Mexican woman a $5 gold piece a few days ago for heating milk for his troops. Rodriguez now is Miding in the ;mountains south of Juarez. Gonzales is with him. ° ‘Merigo Jailed In U. 8, Merigo is in jail here ona federal charge of conspiring. against a friendly power. \ Another aid of the revolutionists is sajd to be a beautiful Spanish dancer.

The men num- oer 4,715,485 and the women 4,715,- According to the census: bureau there are 2,896,336 bachelors and 2.- 690,901 unmarried native women in the islands.

GONZALES JUAN MERIGO WOMAN “SPEED COP” MAKES | MANY. ARRESTS ‘Women Speeders Seem Insulted When They Are Arrested For “Racing” Beaumont, Texas, Feb. 27— Auto-! mobile speeders in Jefferson county, Texas, are learning to fear Mrs. Anna L. Hart, a young widow. She is a deputy constable, watching for speed- ers especially, being one of the few, if not the only feminine “speed cop” in the state.’ She has a record of 70 con- victions and 100 arrests since last December. Mrs. Hart drives a high powered automobile, especially geared and so far has not failed to catch any stock car she desired. She says she seldom has any trouble “because everyone who drives a car knows that they speed at times, and it is only a matter of being caught before they have to pay a fine. “Women, I find, are the hardest to ‘make believe they are speeding, and the first thing they do is to seem in- sulted because they are stopped. They are, of course, subjected to the same laws as the men.” One class of speeders receives more attention than others from Mrs. Hart: It is composed of young men she describes as those who “stand around on the corner and borrow 50 cents with which to purchase gasoline, then drive up and down the street smiling and grinning at every girl they see and inviting her ‘for a ride.” . Mrs. Hart says she likes her work because it has excitement, and she does -“not have to get up at any cer-| tain hour of the morning.” INTENSIVE : MILITARY ~ “TRAINING vas or In Barracks This Summer, Say Officials Washington, Feb. 27.—More than a quarter of a million men are ex- be under canvas or in barracks this summer for intensive military train- ing for the first time since, Congress welded the regular army, the national guard and the organized resérves in- to a composite body constituting the Plans for senting the three components of the united land forces, have been an-} nounced by the department. ‘ Ample funds for the program are expected by officials of the department} to be. made available by Congress by that time and while the plans are, made contingent upon the amount of money appropriated officials feel con- fident the necessary sum will be al- lowed for their full development. In} additional to the regular army person-j; nel required to supervise the train- ing work under commanders of the; nine corps areas, there will be ap- proximately 160,000 members of the national guard in the field, about 30,- 000 reserve officers and specialists, |10,000 student members of the reserve’ caped with his life. a Christmas present. other day in a game at Gwalior, cen- officers training corps and 27,000 civilians, 1 The plans provide for the training of national. guardsmen preferably in their own states or at the nearest suitable federal or state encampment. Wherever .federal cantonments are available they will»be offered to the states under revocable contracts. Camps Utilized. Most of the training of the organ- ized reserves and members of the citizen military training camps will be at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt.; Camp Devens, Mass.; Plattsburg Barracks, N, Y.; Camp Dix,.N.

A STUDY IN VOCATIONAL EDUCATION Teaches How We Must.

HENRY VAN DYKE Who Has Just Returned From Hurope, in an Interview With Edward Thier- ty for NEA Service, Inc. Princeton, N. J., Feb. 27—The war was caused in great part by a disre- gard of national psychology. Gers {many, obsessed by the Hohenzollern myth, was utterly unable to put her- self in the place of other nations and understand how they felt. A somewhat similar lack of psych- ological sympathy is the main thing that imperils peace at the present hour. If the nations would only try to do unto others as they would have oth- ers do unto them at least half of the difficulties. that. beset Europe, and that soriously affect the United States, would melt away. But the other half would remain and would have to ‘be dealt with by practical measures, like those which have recently boen undertaken at the Washington Conference and carried through to a success which, though not yet complete, is greater than the frinds. of permanent \peace dared: to hope at the outset. The condition of. affairs in Europe certainly. is not altogether good, But it might easily be worse. The task of peaceoving nations at the pres- ent moment is to prevent that deteri- oration, If that can. be stopped, the naural forces of good which reside in humanity will. gradually bring about, an improvement in industry, trade, finance and.all the arts of eace, I do not believe that humanity is bankrupt, civilization shipwrecked, and the world doomed to destruction. That idea is a delusion of hysteria in minds of a certain type, shell-shocked “|by .the war and not yet returned to normal and reasonable ways of thinking. 1 But the mass of people in America and even in Hurope are really not like that. They enjoy their victuals and their sleep, their simple pleasures and their family relations. They love their home and their country and are willing to work for them. Indeed, they jwould much rather work for them: quietly than be shot to pieces for them. That is why they are hun- gry for peace. My estimate of the situation is not official. It is simply the opinion of a private person who has knocked about the world for 70 years and been in close relations with all sorts and conditions of men. On this visit to England and France I met the leading statesmen of both countries and heard them talk in the freedom wf private intercourse. Nei- they France nor England is militaris- tic or imperialistic, whatever bab- ‘blers may profess to believe to the contrary. No militaristic government in France or England could survive for a week. The people would make dn end of it. I saw a good deal also of my old friends, the taxicab drivers, and found them much improved in man- I did not meet with a single pirate woven into {among them. | Of. course, they growled about the ice of gasoline—and with justice. ; But go far as I could see they played They were 8 obliging and cheerful as you,can small. bonus added to their too low le jgal fare. . Let me wind up this interview in two sentences: The chief cause of the present trou: bles of the world is moral—lack of thought and dullness of heart among us men. : é America must help Europe, of course, but the best way in which she ican do this is by helping Europe to understand and help herself; the time for dropping pennies in the hat has gone by. |(Copyright, 1922, NBA Service, Inc.)

Just returned from a two-months’ trip abroad, Dr. Van Dyke has given an interview to NEA ‘Service, Inc., in which he says that the world’s trou- bles are chiefly moral. The remedy, he says, is sympathy between na- ons. ception of God deposited in the think- ing of ‘the people is; the spirit, pas- sion and message of democracy, the spirit, passion and message of intér- nationalism, the spirit, passion and Message of social justice and, finally, a ministry with sufficient vision and courage tp drive home the message.” NICHOLAS CALM, INDIFFERENT AS 10 HIS FATE Late Empress of Russia, How- ever, Chafed Under Her Imprisonment Ekaterinburg, Russia, Feb. 27—(The Associated Press)—Alexandra, the late Empress of Russia, never ceased to chafe under her imprisonment in this city where she was finally exe- cuted but the late Emperor Nicholas showed more calmness and, indiffer- ence to his fate. A little booklet recently issued by P. Bykoff, former chairman of the Ekaterinburg Soviet, gives many inti-|_ mate glimpses at the imperial family during the months they were pris- oners of the Bolsheviki in this city suet preceding their execution in July, When the Czar and his wife and part of his family were transferred from Tobolsk to Ekaterinburg by the Soviet government, a residence in the center of the city was assigned to them. It was in the basement of this building that they were shot, A half-prison regime was esta'§lished which did not interfere with the ac- tivities of the imperial family in their own quarters, Before the Romanoffs were permit-| ted to enter their new quarters the guards searched them. ‘Alexandra protested bitterly and offered physical resistance. willingly, but was greatly perturbed. He paced the room while the search was proceeding and exclaimed, “The devil knows what it means! Up to now we have met courteous people and i have had decent treatment!” According to Bykoff, the Soviet of-! wade it clear to the Romanoffs:: that they were not at Tsarkoe Selo! ficials jand threats to isolate. the Emperor from his family if he offered criticism silenced him. Realized it Wasn’t a Joke “Nicholas soon realized that we were not joking,” says the book, “and submitted. uncomplainingly to the demands of the commandant in charge of the house. He made few efforts to chat with the guards, but Alexandra , never ceased breaking Tules.” The Romanoffs. were permitted to select their own hours for walking in the garden whete all sorts of tools were available if they cared to take more vigorous exercise. Two meals a day'were supplied to them from “the best Soviet kitchen in Ekaterin- burg” and they were given a gasoline primus or stove, upon which they could heat their food. Food packages were forbidden to the Imperial family but Bykoff says, “the sisters M@-the local convent an- noyed the guards greatly by sending parcels of biscuits’ and other delica- cies which were distributed among the soldiers.” On Baster the imperial family ask- ; “4 The nicest cathartic-laxative to| tonight will empty your bowels com-; pletely by morning and you will feel splendid. ‘They work -while you sleep.” Cascarets never stir you up or. gripe like Salts, Pills, Calomel, or Oil The Emperor submitted! eal ‘OMEN will beglad to know of a laxative that operates without griping) or weakening.
