People of Mexico City are starving to death. Some of them have been reduced to the eating of leaves,/grass, weeds, and the carcasses of horses and mules. This is the report from the relief agent of the American Red Cross at Mexico City. And while this state of affairs exists in the ‘capitol of Mexico, the man who now controls the city, General Carranza, is selling Mexican products to outsiders and with the money thus raised is buying munifions of war. Such a man is little better than.a barbarian. Instead of shipping food out of be- draggled Mexico, Carranza if he would court the good graces of the people, l!fuld give them a just“portlt'm of th® crops raised. It is true.the crops this year have been meagre ones, only five per cent,-of the normal crop having been planted. The: fighters of the. nation have gathered up all the work animals and .pressed them into military -service. With this condition there is nothing left for the women and children of Mexico but starvation. So long as the United States deems it better not to. resort to armed in, tervention in Mexican political affairs, there ought to be some other way of alleviating the social misery which is being undergone by the people of Mexico. The American Red Cross should send in enough supplies of foodstuffs to tide the populace over these terrible times, with the under- ! standing that unless these foodstuffs reach their proper destination the United States government will take a hand in the situation. sts say for the the world is going ‘we take two ex- furnished in de- Sunday in two New slice failed to put an tion pictures, church ch yesterday inaug- ‘boycott” of such bers of the com- ges to stay away yranding them . as Lof the state law, of ind perversive of ilis unity.” Branch version - to spend the Sab- erent is the At- jere, We learn, yes- first “wide open’ ement place at lapanese ping- | thriller and £ tull \morning. “After pas. another innova- m. of the bath- -latest Pari- out the surf or h until four “There is the nding Sunday. , two extremes.

The palatial magnificence of the average soft drink dispensary extends no farther than. the facade. Immediately behind that,' all is gar- bage. Happy the individual whose stat- ure inhibits a glance behind the [United States Chamber of Commerce scenes. - Unless he has inside informa- tion or a potent imagination he may drink in confortable ignorance. But the lanky chap who orders his choe- olate-egg-and-milk must have a strong stomach indeed, if he can drink it after seeing the beaker which is to contain it receive a preliminary rinse in a sink full of soup contrib- ‘uted by the cansumptive on his left, the tobacco chewer on his right and their predecessors at the public trough. Hygiene has not been able to keep pace with the swift growth of public eating and drinking. In the restau- rant ‘the scullery is mercifully con- | cealed and reasonable subjection of the imagination makes eating fairly comfortable. Further than that, most first-class restaurants and hotels keep their kitchens in a state of spot- lessness, which provokes rather than retards appetite, But the soda foun- tain drinking glass is an abominable thing. And there is the less excuse for it because the margin of profit on soda water is, admittedly, tremen- dous. It would be no unreasonable hardship to Insist that glasses be not merely washed but sterilized, for washing ' (as distinguished from rins- ing in the soup) means, in the bright lexican of the soda water man, mere- ly a dash of cold water from an auto- matic sprayer—a process about as ef- fective as a good hearty sneeze. smoky Tunnels a Menace. (Baltimore Evening Sun), That an engineer had fainted from gas {n the Baltimore & Ohlo tunnel, where electric traction is in use, caused some wonder until it wag dis- covered that the electric equipment was not being used at the time, ' It seems that because of some wark being done on the track the current had been turned off on the third rail as 8 precaution against accident to the track workers, and locomotivar ¥ been running in the tunnel under their own power, filling it with gas and smoke, In this electrically-equipped tun- nel there has not been a serious ac- cident in 20.years, ‘In those tunnels that are almost constantly filled with dense smoke and coal gas it seems little short of wonderful that there have not been ‘more asphyxiations.

A Chance to Build Trade With Ttaly (Bridgeport Standard.) We do not kpow that we are pro- ducing much more coal and coke in our business than we need ourselves, but there seems to be a chance now to dispose of any surplus that we may have or may be able to create, in supplying the wants of Italy Which uses coal and coke to a considerable extent. England iz not sending out any more of thess articles, thus cutt- ing off 4 suppiv of about 70,000 tons Which Italy herctofore had from that source, while 220,000 tons a year also shut out which used to come from Belgium, Germany and Austria. Ttaly continues to need these sup- plies. If we are prepared to furnish them, or can prepare to do so, now S our chance, say advices from the at Washington, The Milan Chamber of Commerce, which is figuring on the American opportunity, is striving to devise return cargoes for Ameri- can ships. Olive oil, marcaroni, silks, straw goods, grapes and unferment- ed grape juice—the last for consump- tion in the navy—would make some part of a fair return. 30,000 Stitches in a Coat. (From Answers.) Does it surprise you to knesy that You have more than 30,000 stitches in the coat which you are wearing? Yet few men have less. A tailor hagd his curlosity aroused as to the actual number of stitches that were required to make a coat. He found his task more difficult than the actyal work, but eventually arived at the total of 32,937 stitches. Of course, 23,000 of these were machined, Five pockets required 6,207 ma- chine stitches; and anothér 428 by hand, The seams nceded 5,979 by ma- chine, and anether 2,40 by hand were used for the lapels, inside work, edge taps, cte., while the basting for the trying on contained 2,151 stitches. The sleeves, collar, etc, needed another few thousand stitches to com- plete the coat, bringing the total ‘number up to 32,937, “Impossible,” you say? It may seem 'incredible, but = just you count an inch or so of stitches in your own coat, and see if you are not surprised. An Umbrella 140 Feet High, (New York Times.) Plans have been submittéd and are being considered by the managemeont of Luna park for the erection of an umbrella of enormous size, which wiil cover more than an acre of ground and afford ample shade during the hot days and provide shelter when it rains for several thousand persons. The plan under consideration calls for a steel shaft, 140 feet high, with ten strong steel ribs, each 120 feet long, the ribs when lifted to cover an area of 240 feet in diameter. The covering of the structure will be, light waterproof canvas such as is now used for circus tents. At night the mast and ribs will be lighted with thou- sands of colored electric bulbs. Tweo proposals have been made for the mastheads, one a powerful revolving searchlight, operated from the ground, and the other an intermittent !la_shllg‘ht, waich will answer for a beacon to incoming ships on the coast, as it is possible to see such: a light thirty miles at sea, Long Distance Laundry.

The Hard Lot of Neutrals. (Detroit Free Press). " It is rather surprising to repd about the anti-American campaign that our ‘Washington corespondent reports in connection with Australia and New Zealand. The antipodean peoples have heretofore shown themselves strongly sympathetic to the United States, and memaries of the enthusias- tic reception they gave our battle- ship fleet on its world tour during Mr. Roosevelt’s presidency have re- mained very distinct in many minds. The Australian welcome on that oc- casion was especially cordial. That the friendly sentiments then enter- tained should now be transformed in- to hostility is strange and its reason for alteration is elusive.

Since the arrival of the - body in Dublin from the United States it had lain in state in the City hall, where daily large numbers of persons, many of them coming from the rural dis- tricts, passed before the bier, The streets converging on the City hall yes- terday were densely packed with spectators as the casket was removed. Wreaths covered the casket. Ten thousand persons were in the funeral procession, including represen- tatives of the Irish Volunteers and the Irish National Volunteers, both contin- gents in uniform and many of the former carrying ‘‘rebel pikes:” mem- bers of the Ancient Order of Hiber- niang ,and delegations from Irish trade and labor unions. A number of priests walked behind the hearse, which was preceded by pipers playing a dead march.

London, Aug. 2,1:30 a. m.—The first sitting of the Duma, which opened today, holds out promise of work with the object of promoting the production of mili- | tary supplies and meeting the military 1equirements, rather than oratory, re- criminations or effort to discover those responsible for the failure to realize the earlier high hopee The temper of ths deputies was moderate; party differences were minimized; there was an entire ab- sence of gloom or factitious enthus- iasm, The speechs of the president of the chamber, M. Rodzianko, and the ministers were well recelved and rewarded with applause from both the right and the left. . The Polish people, the Allies, the ambassadors and General Ruzsky, the commander in the Galician campaign, were cheer. ed heartily, Offers Polish Autonomy. The outstanding feature of the ses- 6lon was the leclaration made in the name of the emperor by the premler, M, Goremykin, that the Poles shall receive autonomy. Announcement that amnesty had been granted Viadimir Bourtzeff, the revolutionist, who returned here from Paris hos hospital service, but was im- mediately arrested, was well received. To Evacuate Warsaw, The war minister, M. Polivanoft, said: “At this moment the enemy is con- centrating enormous forces against Rissia and ig successively enveloping the territory and military districts of Warsaw, the strategic contour~ of which has always been the weak peint of our western frontier, “Under the circumstances we shall, perhaps, yleld to the enemy a por- tion of this region, falling back on positions where our army will pre- pare for a resumption of the offen- sive. Give Up Warsaw, “All's well that end well; 1812 was proof of that. We shall today, per- haps, give up Warsaw, as then we gave up Moscow, in order to insure a final victory.” Referring to the German methods of waging war, Foreign Minister Sazanoff said the Germans had stopped rneither at the wholesale poisoning of our soldiers nor at the extermination ot women, children and peacful eit- izens whose cries could not fail to arouse sentiments of just repugnance in neutral countries, An Ineffaceable Blot. “These feelings,” the minister con- tinued, “spread beyond the ocean to the Unitd States, where humanitarian feeluings revolted aga:nst such hor- rible occurrences as the sinking of the Lusitania which cost 86 many Ameri- can lives. 'This attack, which has no parallel for cruelty or absurdity, is an ineffaceeble blot to the name of Ger- many. “It is difficult to say whether more ererggtic measures will follow Presi- dent Wilson’s note to the German gov- ernment, but it is already evident that American public opinion is disgusted at Germany's action in spite ‘of the efforts whch.

M, Rodzianko asked the members of the chamber to make suggestions 1o the government as to how thie could be effected. During his address he greeted the diplomatic representa- tives pof the triple entente powers, who were cheered by the members of the chamber and by the public in the gal- leries, The demonstration reached its climax when, in the name of the en- tire Russian people, M. Dodzianko thanked “our new ally, the brave Ital. ian nation.” He then spoke of ‘‘our brave Polish brethren. who were the first to receive thg blows of the abom- inable enmy.” “Th army,” said M. Dodzianko in concluding, ‘“sets us a brilllant ex- ample on how to fulfill our duty to the eountry. It is now our duty to work day and night to sopply this army with everything which it needs, but to ¢o that it is necessary to make many changes.
