ONCE more the baseball season's ended, the fans oisperseu-i.. -shame;
the magnates sit in grandeur splendid, and wonder what has
queered the game. And for their trouble they have reason, the grand old
Pame has seen a slump; it's been a dark and dreary season, with all things headed
for the dump. I long have been among the stayers, the fans who never missed a
?ame, but I've grown tired of chesty players who hanker less for honest fame,
than for the stipend big and bulky, who haggle for all coin in sight, and failing
that, get sour and sulky, and break their contracts left and right. Ira weary of
the famous pitcher, who puts a fortune in his jeans, and then, to make himself
still richer, writes twaddle for the magazines. I'm tired Of all the human factors
who constitute our baseball teams, and at off times are tin-horn actors, with
monologs which give bad dreams. They all seems crazy for the shilling, the
pound, the kroner and the yen, and baseball won't be gay and thrilling till we get
back ok ways again. I care not for self advertisers, who sing their glory till its
stale, nor care to see a squad or misers

A Plan
SO GREAT is the need of succor to the starving ones overseas, and so reauy
and generous was the response on the part of the people of the southwest
to the call, that The Herald is now planning to organize a general relief
measure on an original and practical plan that ought to receive instant acceptance.
The "Christmas Ship" movement has shown that the hearts of the people hae
been touched and that the call for quick relief has been heard. In this case, it
was the cry of the children that stirred to action. There was a certain kind of
sentiment in the movement that simple relief does not stimulate. The 'Christmas
Ship" idea with its gifts directed specially to children, to bring a ray of happmess
into their desolate lives, appealed to many to whom the call for food and clothing
for the destitute would not so quickly appeal. But The Herald conceives :t to be
its duty to lay the facts before its readers, to use as they will.
At least 25,000,000 people in the warring countries are destitute and miserable.
Not less than 10,000,000 are homeless, they are wanderers on the face of the
earth, without a day's io-A supply in sight, and without clothing for the winter.
Their homes have been destroyed-nearly 2,000,000 buildings have been destroyed
so far in the various areas of war.
Let this truth sink in: that all the horrible things we already know about
the war and i's effects are certain to be multiplied many fold when the whole
- ii- I.. 4-.n irra 1 1 C 3 C T PTC
truth is known. In the newspaper ousiness in mis cuunuy, .. &"" -
are remembered by all as having been understated in the first reports, and as
having grown in horror with each click of the telegraph instrument through the
several days during which communications were being restored and the facts
were being compiled. These are the Galveston flood and the San Francisco fire.
In neither case were the first reports more than the merest suggestion or outline
of the honors that were to come.
So it is with the European war, though on a scale so much more vast that
the human mind is incapable of comprehending more than a short chapter at a
time. The need for immediate and general succor in the area devastated by war
is so tremendous and so pressing that one instinctively says to himself that it
can't be true; but it is all true, and more than the wires can tell or the mind
can grasp.
The Herald realizes that the people of America are soon to be called on for
relief measures on a scale beyond anything the world ever knew or imagined.
No combination of disasters hitherto recorded can equal the terror of the situation
already created by this war. And most dreadful of all, it is the wsairo and
children that suffer most, and the old men and women the innocent victims
of war, who have no way to help, or even to avenge themselves.
There are millions upon millions of them. Why stop to argue that the
nations brought it all on themselves and they must pay? Why stop to
argue that each government must take care of its own? What we do know is
that every ordinary agency of human life is put out of business over vast areas,
that there are no homes, no shops and stores, no trains or ships, no markets, no
crops, no money or credit available. Everything is topsyturvy and the machinery
of living is hopelessly clogged.
The United States must pay. It is the call of common sense no less than
the call of humanity. If those people suffer and die, we pay indirectly anyhow.
If we have a view of race responsibility one inch beyond that of the coarsest
savage of the jungle, we must see that millions of our fellow beings cannot suffer
this way without ourselves being affected in our pocketbooks as well as in our
hearts. Far reaching United States relief measures for the people of the war zone,
the noncombatants, the innocent sufferers, are imperative.
So The Herald purposes to ascertain from the various relief committees of
the foreign powers having headquarters in this country, just what commodities
they can use to best advantage. From the list, things will be selected that are
actually grown and produced in the southwest Then we shall undertake to make
up carload shipments of the commodities themselves, to send to the various relief
ships as they sail.
To pay for these commodities, funds will be collected by voluntary subscrip
tion through The Herald. It will be announced just what the money is for:
A car of beans for Belgium, for example; a car of onions and potatoes for France;
a car of apples for convalescents in hospitals; a car of clothing, bedding, mattresses
for the homeless; a car of supplies and clothing especially for babies; a car of
canned and packed food stuffs; and so on.
In this way it will be possible to hold cars here in El Paso for loading, and
fill them with contributions of commodities from other places in the southwest.
If Deming desires to contribute 3000 pounds of beans, the beans may be shipped
here and put in the car. If Mountain Park and Berino have apples to send, ar
rangements can be made to load a refrigerator car here for some ship that has
refrigerator capacity. If Midland wants to send a few tons of potatoes, they can
be sent here for loading in a car with other things. Money subscribed in El Paso
and elsewhere will be used to buy the needful things at the best market prices in
the local and southwestern markets things produced or made in our section of
country.
The plan is yet in the formative stage, and contributions of commodities
cannot be received yet But soon the full details will be known and announced.
This is just to get folks to thinking about it The gist of the plan is to find out
from the proper authorities what things can be used to best advantage, and then
to buy those things hereabouts and ship them in carload lots. The plan seems
sound and logical, and it is to be expected that the people of the southwest will
participate in it generously when the time arrives to inaugurate it.

"R1
EPRESENTATIVES of Carran-
za are not Carrancistas, but
Constitutionalists." said Ra
fael E. Muzquiz, consul general of Mex-
lco.
This is a point which tno Ames,-
ican nublio. xppttir tn have overlooked.
The forces that fought against Huerta
were Constitutionalists and. because
one small faction of these forces takes
contrary action, it in no way alters the
principles or name of the thousands
who are real Constitutionalists. All
appointees of the central goTernment
are Constitutionalists, as the central
government is the only constitutional
government that has been established.
The claim laid to the title of Constitu
tionalists by a faction that opposes
Carranza 13 contrary to all of the prin
ciples of the movement, is baseless."

"El Paso's financial condition is su
perior to that of any city, in the cen
tral west." said Frank S. Frickelton.
"In Chicago, when I was there, the pa
pers were estimating that there were
60,000 idle men. Dozens of them were
sleeping on park benches, even though
the weather was very cold. In Joplin.
Mo., a city about the same size as El
Paso, the unemployed are four times as
great as in El Taso. As compared with
El Paso, conditions in the middle west
are bad."

"Riding a motorcycle across the con
tinent is a pleasant diversion and is
greatly enjoyed," said E. G. Baker, of
Indianapolis, Ind., winner of the Hearst
$20,000 transcontinental prize, who is
here to ride in the' El Paso-Phoenlx
race. "Of course the trip I made across
the states for the Hearst prize was a
little hasty. You had to be hasty to
win. But in those 11 days I had a lot
of pleasure. Motorcycling across the
country would be very interesting if
one takes his time. The roads are in
great condition in comparison to what
they were a few years ago. The scen
ery is picturesque and people enter
taining. I believe that it is only the
question of time until the trip can be
made across the continent in 10 days."

"Safety first should be the motto of
those who go to the cement plant Sun
day morning to see the machines start
in the second annual El i-ajo-ioooiui
road race," said Robert H. Rinehart,
referee of the event. "There will be
plenty of deputy sheriffs at the stait
ing point to keep the road clear, but if
the spectators will only be careful ac
cidents will he prevented. The race
drivers will not be able to stop for per
sons crowding on the course, one" they
get under .fall power. Persons who In
tend witnessing the race from points
below should keep off the course and
well back of the road, especially where
there are dangerous curves. A machine
may skid off the course and crash Into
the crowd. This has happened upon
one occasion in California. If a person
will stand a few yards back of the
road they will be able to witness the
race and at the same time place them
selves in no danger"
"The success of the Republicans In
r'nin- MiirnT-isp.il everyone who is
acquainted with the politics of that ,
elate," said C V. Bartlett "With Pat
terson against Carlson, Democrats
were coanting upon a walkaway worse
than that when Amnions was elected.
The state went to the Democrats six
years ago and up to Tuesday had voted
for Democratic governors and con
gressmen. The victory of the Prohibi
tion partr was also contrary 10 ad
vance dope, as it seemed that odds
were three to one that the state would
go "wet" before the election. With
the election of Carlson the Republican
party came back to power In Colorado."
"Owing to unsettled conditions In the
Interior, no action has been taken by
officials of the Constitutionalist rail
way lines to run trains to the Ameri
can side of the river," said A. F. Es
contrias. "Superintendent Evite re
turned Tuesday from Aguascalientes.
where ho was in attendance at the con
vention of delegates for the purpose of
choosing a president, and very little
attention was given to other matters.
It is probable that when general man
ager Melville returns from the south
some effort will be made to run the
trains to the American side."
"I believe that girls and young wom
en should study political science as
well as domestic science and economy.'
said Mrs. A. P. Averill. "Political sci
ence governs the home and It comes de
cidedly in the woman's sphere. It Is
well for women to be informed upon
all things pertaining to government
and they should understand the laws
governing the city, the state and the
country in which their home is located.
Broad minded, well Informed women
are the best home makers, wives and
mothers."

BY FLORENCE E. YODER.
THE day after Mrs. Rags had
caught Mr. Rags eating melons In
the old patch she got up very
early She went downstairs and lighted
the fire and put on the teakettle, and
then sat down huddled up near the
stove.
Mr Rags had not come home at all
Poor Mrs: Rags was so miserable that
she did not know what to do Over and
over again she thought "and I drove

What a sight she was! She rubbed off

Then she started to try and blame Mr.
Rags, but his words came back to her.

and Just then the teakettle boiled over.
She ran to take off the lid and as she
did so she scalded her paw. It hurt so
badly that she could think of nothing
else. "Now this is a real trouble.' she
grunted, as she bound the bare spot up
with baking soda and a wet cloth, but
before she had finished she had begun

surprise him by not saying one whlny

Before she had the words out of her
mouth the door opened, and in came Mr.
Rags. His fur was roughened, his eyes
were bloodshot, he sneezed, and he
limped. What a sight he was! As he
crawled in and sat by the fire he had
to pass Mrs. Rags, and thinking that
she would strike at him as she usually
did, he dodged. "Catchoo, catchoo!"
he sneezed.
Mrs. Rags paid no attention to him,
but grinned as she leaned over the
stove. Mr. Rags cowered in the chair,
and rolled his eyes at her, and every
time Mrs. Rags looked at him he looked
away.
"What a miserable sight he is." she

thought to herself, "and it Is all his
own fault for not coming home like a
sensible man. If he had been any
smarter than I. he would not have paid
any attention to me and my cross lit!'
Between laughing and feeling sorry
for poor Mr. Rags, Mrs. Rags got the
hot water ready, brought out the Hna
ment, and then saidj "Come, now.
Rags, you have caught an awful cold,
and I must help you to get rid of it."
With his paws in hot water, and his
head wrapped up, and a big hanky in
his pocket on which to sneeze, Mr. Rags
felt very comfortable. He had not
snoken a word, and Mrs. Rairs was be
ginning to think that he had lost his
voice when suddenly he began:
"I've been very silly," he said, and
then, catchooooo! He sneezed. "And I
have been silly, too," put in Mrs. Rags.
And I have caught a cold in my head,"
said Mr. Rags, with another sneeze.
"And I scalded my paw," said Mrs.
Rags, beginning to laugh, for poor Mr.
Rags sneezed so hard and so fast that
he could not say another word.
But they made up their quarrel, and
promised never again to be silly over
nothing, when real troubles were so
much more to be feared!

town of 60,000 people and was there
when history rolled up its sleeves and
began the job of writing up Europe.

ple of Metz have had to knock off work

town has done very welL
Metz has belonged to a great many
na'tions and kings, but until 1870 it
had one great pride. It has never been
captured by siege. Army after army
marched against its citadel and bom
barded it with whatever was handy,
but in the end the enemy always retired

cient war cry. "Soc et tu urn." and con
tinued to do business at the old stand.
In 1870. however, the Prussian army
encountered 150,000 French in the vicln
itv of Metz and after a few days drove
them into the city and then sat down
around It.
This was too much for Metz. It
could keep off the foe, but It could
not feed its defenders. At the end of
two months horse meat could only be
afforded by the aristocracy and Metz
surrendered.
Since 1870 Metz has been a great
German fort and its prinsipal occupa

beer, shoes, guns and artificial flowers
and entertains many tourists, who

Advice To the Lovelorn
By Ueatrlcr Fairfax.
MAKE AN" HONEST EFFORT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a man, 26, of a foreign family,
and in love with an American girl of
the same age. I was introduced to this
young woman about five years ago, and
while I have obtained the confidence of
the mother it has been Impossible to
do so with the father in fact her
father Is kept ignorant of our meeting
secretly, which we do about twice a
week with the knowledge of her -mother.
I have constantly pleaded with the
young woman and her mother to allow
me to call at the house and reason
with the father and ask him to allow
me to prove my sincerity. They posi
tively refuse to consent to my sugges
tion owing to the fact he is a positive
crank and very stubborn and are afraid
It would cause more trouble, -which they
wish to avoid particularly on my ac
count I can only give one reason for
his action, and that is my being of for
eign parents.
Now what I would like to know Is,
would you advise me to speak to her
father and try to win him over or
would you tnarry her without his con
sent? William D.
It seems to me that you should make
one honest effort to win the consent
of your beloved's father to your mar
riage. If this falls, you would be saved
from the feeling of having acted slyly
and underhandedly. However, do not
see the father without telling mother
and daughter of your intentions to and
ask for the girl's hand.
HOW TO BECOME ACaUAINTED.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Would yon kindly advise me how
to become acquainted with a few girls?
I go to business and at night when I
should be enjoying the air I remain at
home simply because I haven't any
friends with whom I can go out. I am
too voung to bother with boys, and do
not care to belong to any clubs.
F. S.
Why not try to make friends with
the girls who work in your business
office? Do you not belong to a church?
If you do. you ought to have no trouble
in meeting other girls who attend tha
same place of worship.
DON'T TVI.K ABOUT OTHERS.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Do yon think it advisable to brag
about the different men that come up to
your house and take you out to a fel
low you care very much for. I don't
like him to think that he is the only
one I go out with, as I know that he
goes out with other girls. Tease.
, A girl who is really charming and
attractive need not tell of her conquests
in order to have one man realize that
others like her. Do not talk to one man
about others. In the first place it does
not interest him. In the second it is not
in good taste, and in the third it is
perfectly obvious to him why you do it.
