LONG lilt SCHOOL TEKM8
The youngsters o Las Vegas are
I wailing the fact that school will
c .,en for the fall term on August 31
' iis Is the first time tney have been I
led away from their summer vaca-Uud
i on at so early a date In several
ears. To them the Information will
i.ot be comforting, but it is a fact that
the general trend in educational cir
cles Is to reduce the vacation period
to as short a space of time as pos
sible. Doubtless the time will soon
come when the summer vacation will
not exceed one month.
The best educators of the country,
working on the theory, that the child's
advancement is more rapid if his at
tention is held constantly than if he
is made to study hard for nine months
and then allowed to run wild for three
months, are inducing boards of edu
cation throughout the country to'
lengthen their terms of school work.
It has been discovered that a child's
mind, like that of his father or his
mother, develops best when It is ac
tive, and that when it Is given long
periods of vacation following months
f systematic work it not only falls
to continue to develop but loses some
of the ground previously gained.
In accordance with this theory,
echool terms are being lengthened
and the character of the work done is
being altered. Relief from the strain
of, bookwork is given by the Intro
duction of Industrial education. Dur
ing the summer months when school
is' in session, work along educational
lines is supplemented by systematic
athletic training, gardening and other
outdoor work that partakes of the
nature of a pastime. Under the new
eystem the health of the children, In
stead of being Impaired by Increased
school work, Is declared to be im
proved. And mothers, who have come
tp dread vacation time because of the
rorry of caring for their youngsters
all day, welcome the lengthened term
of school work, which transfers the
responsibility to trained teachers and
physical directors.
o
WHAT WILL HI I0?
General Carranza, head of the Mex
ican constitutionalists, having reached
the capital of the southern republic"
largely through the assistance of the
United States toy Its refusal to rec-
mizeHuerta and the raising of the
embargo on arms, it remains to be
eeen what will be his attitude toward
this country. Already he is being
targed by numerous constitutionalists
to make Insolent demands upon the
United States, that the "insult to
- Mexico" In the occupation of Vera
Cruz by . American troops may in a
measure be atoned for. His advisers
are men who are reported to have
ehotited publicly: "Death to Ameri-
cans,"
Carranza's attitude toward the Unit
ed States as provisional president of
Mexico should at least bo friendly.
Will It?
There arises the question, too, as
to how long the. constitutionalist thief
will be able to preserve peace and
tranquility In the battletorn republic.
Everybody wishes him success, but
there are few who believe he will at
tain 1L Just as soon as Carranza be
gins the handing out of political pat
ronage and an election is held, It is
predicted that the disappointed of-
flceseekers will begin a new revolu
tion.
Here's hoping Carranza can hold
down his new Job, for peace and tran
quility in Mexico, even If preserved
at the point of the sword, is some
thing devoutly to be desired.

JIM FLYNN HAS
A
DESIRE 10
FIGHI
THE PUEBLO FIREMAN LOOKS
FOR A BOUT IN KANSAS
CITY
ansas City. Aug. 21. Jima da Flynn
is eettlne turbulent these days. If
some rougnneca promoter aoesn i
give him a chance to wallop someone
he says that he Is going to enlist in
some combative army and do some
sluglng. Flynn is here with a dandy
sit of boxing gloves, considerable
ambition and a healthy appetite. Now,
why not give Jima da Flynn a
cluwce?
There Is nothing artistic in the way
Jim sells his wares. He will never re
reive a Carnegie medal for boxing.
Jim knows all of this and never has
tried to improve himself In the boxing
!ne. To Jim the cauliflower ear is
the badge of courage and his ruffled
horn only proves that he never tried
to duck the torrid going. Jim Flynn
has made it possible for the blood
thirsty followers of the game to get
a "run for their money" and If given
a chance he will show them some
more rough stuff.
Flynn has appeared only twice in
Kansas City and on both occasions he
has biffed away to crowded houses
his mixups with, Al Kaufman and
Jack Dillon were the best bouts ever
s;aed by the Grand Avenue Athletic
ciub. This Pueblo bear Is a drawing
card and it is strange that he isn't
usort oftener hereabouts. Flynn has
been walloped soundly several times',
but there always is a healthy gang
on hand when when he is billed to
perform.
"Half of the gang turns out to see
mo killed and the otber naif to see
fie buried," said Flynn this morning.
I guess I am about as unpopular as
a German in Pais, but the box office
receipts show, that I am a bear when
it comes ,to serving the public
Flynn is here nagging at Al Norton,
v Lo also Is a visitor. If Al can't be
Induced to do battle bring on Jack
Dillon or Carl Morris. In fact, If
Norton doesn't like the Flynn ideal
Carl Morris would fit in nicely. There
has been some talk of a Flynn-Norton
match and It would be a hummer, ac
cording to the writer's way of think
ing. Norton is tall and rangy and
possesses a world of speed.
STATUTE IS INVALID-
Santa Fe, "Aug. 21. That the old
territorial statute, of 1856, which was
originally passed In Spanish, Is too
vague and is also Invalid, is the ar
gument made in the brief of the ap
pellant in the case of State vs. W. T.
Chenault, filed today In the state su
pTeme court. Chenault was convicted
under that statute at Portalea and
sentenced to from eight to ten months
in the penitentiary on the charge of
restraining his 18-year-old sister-in";
law for evil purposes. Z
, RAILROAD IS SUED
Santa' Fe, Aug? 21. Suit has been
filed against the El Paso & South
western Railroad company for $25,000
damages by W. W. Woodson and wife
for injuries received at Alamogordo
after a trip to Cloudcroft The plaint
iffs allege that Mrs. Woodson, in
alighting from the train at Alamo
gordo, ran against a running board
used to transfer freight from baggage
oars and was seriously hurt, her knee
cap being broken and she being con
fined to bed since. Woodson asks
$15,000 for his wife's injuries and $10-
000 for the mental suffering he has
endured because of her injuries.

MASONIC BODIES
TO MEET IN
OCTOBER
ALBUQUERQUE WILL BE MECCA
OF THE NEW MEXICO
LODGES
Albuquerque, N. M., Aug. 21. Octo
ber 'will be marked In Albuquerque
by the greatest assemblages of Ma
soiit ever held In New Mexico. Every
Masonic body In the state, including
the Eastern Star, the feminine auxil
iary of the order, will hold Btate
meetings here.
As has already been noted, Eallut
Abyad Temple, Mystic Shrine, will
hold a big session here October 7,
at which time III. Noble Fred R.
Smith, imperial potentate; 111. Noble J.
Putnam Stevens, deputy Imperial
potentate; 111. Noble Henry Neldrlng-
haus. Imperial chief rabban, and 111.
Noble William, S. Brown, Imperial
treasurer, and their party will he
present. ,
There will he a short lull after that
excitement, and then will come Mason
ic week, beginning October 19. On
October 19, 20 and 21 the New Mexico
jurisdiction of the Blue Lodge will be
in session. The Royal Arch Masons
will meet in state session on October
2j, The Templar grand lodge meet
ing will be on October 23 and the or
der of the Eastern Star will meet on
October 24.
Masons from all over the state will
attend the meetings. It is a bit too
early yet for programs of the various
meetings, but it is expected that the
sessions will be the most noteworthy
in tne history of Masonry in New Mex
ico.
Ample and hearty doings will mark
the ceremonial session of Balut Abyad
Temple October 7, to which Shriners
from every nook and cranny of the
state are expected to flock. The vis
It of the Imperial officers will make
It the most Important occasion In the
history of Abyad and the Shrine In
New Mexico and the nobles will extend
themselves to hit the bullseye at every
shot in the campaign of celebration
an-1 entertainment. October 7 falls in
the middle of fair week, far and away
the best possible time for the sort
of shrine session planned.
The imperial officers are coming
here on their way from the ceremon
ial Shrine session at the " bottom of
the Grand Canyon. There are a num
ber of local Shriners who would like
to attend that session at the Canyon
bottom, but it falls on an inconvenient
date. The active members of Ballut
Abyad are anxious to be on the Job
In preparing for the session here, and
to go to the Canyon for the doings
there on the sixth would leave them
no time to help finally line up things
here for the seventh. Indications are
that few, if any, of the local Shriners
will go to the Canyon.
ALMOST RUINED
AN EXPERT TELLS CONGRESS
THE BIG FISH MUST HAVE
PROTECTION
Portland, Ore., Aug. 21. The sal
mon industry in the Columbia river
will be ruined unless drastic action
U taken to protect the fish, H. M.
Lornsten, an Astoria, Ore., fisherman,
testified today before the federal. In
dustrial relations 'commission.
"The Columbia river is the only
strea mln the country on which pro
tective laws are carried out on de
structive lines," he sattf, "Fishing
below tide water and with stationary
a.'ppJiah.ces are the two principal
abuses that should be corrected," he
continued. -"The annual salmon catch
from the stream should be about
C00.000 pounds, The present yield Is
about 300,000 pounds. If proper pro
tection were thrown around the fish
the yield would double In five years."
Mr. Lornsten said the statutes op-
Orated against the individual fisher
men for the benefit of tiappers, sein
ers and others with big interests
along the. stream.
"Certainly this situation is worth
the most searching Investigation,"
Chairman Walsh said.
TOO MUCH COMPETITION
Washington, Aug. 21. The revolu
tion in the Dominican republic Is at
an end .according to a message receiv
ed late today at the Dominican lega
tion. The American peace delegates
and the faction leaders reached an
agreement today for the selection of
a president, who has not yet been
named the message said.
GERMAN TACTICS
ARE LIKE
OURS
AMERICAN MILITARY METHODS
ARE ON TRIAL IN THE BIG
EUROPEAN WAR
Fort Leavenworth, Kan., Aug. 21.
The tactics of the American army are
on trial in the European war. For
years it has been known that the
American and the German modes of
varfare have been similar. Except
for the open order formations in
vhich America goes to the furthest
extreme the two armies are directed
by almost the same system. It is
known that Major General Leonard
Wood Is an ardent supporter of the
Gtrman methods.
It Is also true that the French tac
tic: are somewhat similar to parts of
the German and where they depart
from them they begin to parallel ours,
so whatever the outcome of the Eu
ropean war, the tactics of America
will receive a severe test that may
result in the inauguration of radical
changes.
America closed Its mind to things
belligerent at the close of the Spanish
American war, yet nothing could be
more fatal than to judge the army of
any nation by the standards existing
tnen. In the brief lapse of 16 years
tbe army has received the closest
study and has been benefited by more
inventions than at any other period
of Its existence.
There are several Innovations that
this war will either make or break.
One is the efficiency of light artillery,
another is the motor car in the dual
test as an armored scout and as a
mode of transportation. Still another
is camp sanitation. This last feature
has developed highly since the Span
ish-American war and will be sub
jected to its most severe test by the
tremendous European enlistments.
The war will also settle, forever the
value of mass formation.
The last three years have marked
the development of the Indirect fire.
By this method, perfected by the
French, and already in use In America,
an Invisible enemy is located, and
shells containing 206 rifles size bul
lets, with range timed fuses, are play
ed on them long before there is an
actual view. In a hilly or rolling
country, the indirect fire is practic
able unassailable by either light or
heavy artillery, and for a range one
thousand yards or over, the parabola
13 great enough to allow shelter be
hind a pretty high hill.
Modern warfare is drawn to an ex
act science, and It is a safe prediction
that this war will tevolutionize the
rules of the war game. The old hap
hazard and hysterical charges have
passed Into oblivion. It is now gov
erned by carefully thought out plans,
orders communicated and obeyed and
men placed in strategic positions ad
without confusion. Gunners know to
a mathematical certainty the range of
their guns. Advancing armies sally
forth to attack a certain stronghold
with complete information of the
strength of that .position. Experts be
lieve that the day of such spectacular
charges as that of the Light Brigade,
Pickett's men at Gettysburg and of
the Old Guard at Waterloo has passed.
It Is not believed that this waf will
'contribute anything like them.
The Germans will wage a fierce but
careful campaign. They depend upon
their terrific onslaughts to break the
enemy. Their losses will be Immense
but they estimate the great sacrifice
of life at the time of the charge as
compensated in the shortening of the
time of the war.
The French will exercise caution.
They will fight fiercely, but in open
formation, and will probably annihi
late the advance line of the enemy
with their expert handling of the ar
tillery. .- .. . ... ' . -o,.-
BIG HOG MORTALITY
Santa Fe, Aug, 21 Diseases caused
the swine breeders of New Mexico to
lose 1,200 hogs last year. The mone
tary loss was $12,000. The average
death rate wag 21 per 1,000 head, while
in the previous year it was 27 per
1,000, the total los.s then having been
1,400 head. There are 56,000 hogs in
New Mexico valued at $566,000. In
the United States seven million hogs
died from disease during the' last fis
cal year, the rate being 119 Per thou
sand, or almost six times that of New
Mexico.
RECEIVER ASKED FOR
St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 21 Suit for the

Bankers' Trust company, a St. Louis

town banks in the northwest, was filed
In the circuit court here today.
A BITTER FIGHT
FOR OFFICIAL
PLUM
SANTA FE DESPAIRS OF EVER
GETTING ITS NEW POST
MASTER Santa Fe, Aug. 21. That a political
battle is being fought today in Wash
ington over the Santa Fe postmaster
ship is the well founded rumor circu
lated in democratic political circles.
It appears that the nomination of
Adolph P. Hill for state corporation
commissioner and his withdrawal
from the race for Santa Fe's postmas
tership has found several Barkises wil
ling to accept the honor. One of the
most formidable candidates now In
the race is said to be Romulo Marti
nez, of Upper Palace avenue. He was
former sheriff of this county and for
mer United States marshal. He owns
extensive business interests hera He
is regarded as one of the democratic
war horses and would, In the opinion
of many democrats, take precedence'
over a number of the younger demo
crats who have signified their willing
ness to accept the $2,500 office.
It Is understood, however, that Ar
thur Seligman, the Santa Fe county
democratic leader, has been In Wash
ington and hap talked to Congressman
Harvey B. Fergusslon In the interest
of his brother, James L. Seligman. Mr.
Seligman denied only mildly today
that he had "fixed up Hill's nomina
tion" for corporation commissioner to
clear the track for "Jim." "Arthur
has probably put Jim over already"
was the way one prominent democrat
in the capltol described the situation.
It is generally believed that the
fight has narrowed itself down to
James Seligman and Romulo Mar
tinea and it is said the telegraph
wires have been kept hot today with
messages to Mr. Fergnssoni. It Is be
lieved that Mr. Fergusson can decide
the matter and now that Hill's name
has been withdrawn by the president,
Mr. Wilson will make an appointment
of a postmaster at an early date
even before congress adjourns. In
fact many democrats declare that con
gress will not adjourn at all.
AN ITALIAN CARD
INALTO SUCCEED
PIUS X
(Continued From Page One.)
the late Pope Pius X, had died In
Rome shortly after the passing away
of her brother. Shock, caused by the
pontiff's end, was given as the cause.
It appears today that this report was
the result of a telegraphic error, which
occurred in the transmission of a dis
patch from Rome. The. pope's sister
is alive, although suffering from
shock. She was already Indisposed
when the pontiff was taken 11L and
yesterday was obliged to take to her
bed. She Is under the care of Dr
Amlci.
