Benjamin Franklin Bush, presi- dent and general manager of the Missouri Pacific railroad, on Tuesday sent word to General Harvey C., Clark, commander of the Missouri National Guard, that he (Bush) desired to present the general a fine horse for use when the Missouri troops go to war. Gen. Clark has already been sup- plied with a fine charger by the citizens of Nevada, so he declined Mr. Bush’s tender, thanking him, however, for the spirit in which it was made. - You sure have if you haven't tried the new, up-to-date Breakfest Food, MAPLE FLAKES—2 packages for 260, Never on sale in Butler before.

Automobiles for the Marines. Washington, June 30.—Arm- ored automobiles cradled on the decks of warships in sea-going rafts, for use of detachments of the United States Marine Corps in shore operations, may soon be added to the regular equipment of naval vessels. : Experiments at the Boston navy yard a few days ago demonstrated that these indispensible cars can be stowed aboard by the means of electric cranes on war vessels, in a very few moments, and that the deck space they occupy is very little. United States Marines found great need for armored cars in their recent operations in Mexico, Hayti, and Santo Domingo, buf the cars they used had to be shipped to them by regular naval | transports.

Before entering the county home the pseudo ‘‘wo- man’? had worked as a maid for ‘a’ prominent family for sixty years.

Senator John Baldwin, of Hud- son township, was in the city Mon- day and found time to make this office a pleasant call. He says that he is kept busy these days hunting for hands to help take While the Senator is pretty busy on the farm he finds time to keep up with the political situation and no man in this part of the county is better posted than he. In speak- ing of Cornelits Roach, candidate for governor, he says: ; “From the standpoint of effi- ciency and economy the acid test has been placed upon Cornelius Roaeh in an- official capacity and he has not been found wanting. Honesty admitted by all: com- petency that none questions; qualified beyond a reasonable doubt—and an executive equal to any emergency. And over and above all it is not necessary to select millionaires to insure ef: ficiency or economy in handling the finances of this state or its institutions.’’ ; Senator Baldwin’ While he has been serving this district in the state senate has had abundant op- portunity of observing the manner in which Mr. Roach conducts the state’s business and he knows whereof he speaks. Friday Evening’s Band Concert. The largest crowd that had ev- er attended a band concert in Butler turned out Friday evening. As had been previously an- nounced, the concert consisted principally of patriotic airs. The vocal number, ‘‘America’’ sung by the Loyal Sons Bible Class, was especially fine and was liberally applauded by the immense crowd.

Washington, June 29.—A Pan- Z force com- posed of detachments of the arm- ies of the United States, Argen- tine, Brazil, Chile and possibly other Latin-American republics to restore not to crush Mexico. This is the suggestion brought to the attention of the Administra- tion and South American officials today ‘from certain quarters, which, it is ‘believed, will even- tually lead to serious considera- tion of the project. To those interested in further- ing the Pan-American movement, the present crisis between the United States and Mexico is re- garded as a: vital test of the prin- ciples for which the powers of the Americans have been striving, Strife between nations of the Americas would be regarded by them as virtual civil war. They point out that every treaty ne-.. gotiated between European pow- ers has fallen apart. With all the rest of the world divided they con- tend that the Americas must pre- sent a united front, the nations of the two continents must join in- terests—diplomatically, commer- cially and industrially, War be- tween any two of the American nations would mean an immediate division into groups, thus weaken- ing the entente and leaving the way open at the end of the Euro- pean war for possible influence if not domination from abroad. To preserve the strength and unity of the Americas, Latin- ‘American as well as administra- tion working in the interests of Pan-Americanism declare it is im- perttive first that peace.in the Afnericas be maintained now, and second, that a way be found to enforee continued peace in the future. This brings the sugges- tion of a Pan-American police foree. It is pointed out that most of the theories of-the world peace advanced to’ date have been based upon- the establishment of an in- ternational police forcé, In the present situation between _ the United States and Mexico and the working out of the general plan of Pan-Americanism those behind the movement see the possibility of a test of the theory upon which may rest the hope of international peace, Successful joint action by the nations of the Americas in pacify- ing and restoring stricken Mexico would have great influence in Europe it is believed toward. pro- viding the practicability of inter. national ‘‘police’? work.
