THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 1011. J ARE DOING THE "war piiuo'' on tlie Mexi can bonier Is now in full swing. At Cuuip Sam Hous ton, near San Antonio, and at tho other camps along' the border drills and maneuvers are the order of the day. One of the first tasks was the llcldng into slmpo of the "raw" soldiers, approximately 1,000 of whom reported for duty. Another prelim inary was the hardening of the Ameri can regulars for Held service, flen eral Carter Issued orders that the re emits were to have immediate in struct Ion In target practice, and the brigadier generals commanding bri gades wer Instructed to see to 11 that their commands wore "In every way prepared for the Held." A provost guard to see to the proper deportment of the troops has boon or ganized and has orders to assist the San Antonio police whenever neces sary In preserving order among the soldiers A squadron of the Fourth cavalry has been summoned by General Carte- to do patrol duty at Camp Sam Houston. Oencral Carter Is not tak ing any chances on a repetition of the affray that occurred In Galveston re cently. when some of the soldiers as sembled there started trouble. There are about 15.00(1 men with money In their pockets swarming In AT THE FRONT THE FOURTH EL the questionable San Pedro district of San Antonio on the night of pay day. Mexicans and negroes live beyond the little irrigation ditch which bounds Ran Antonio's red light quadrangle, nnd every opportunity offers for some soldier wltti his pay liquidated to start something. Up to the present there have been few arrests of soldiers, and tho provost guard, composed of men of the Twenty-second Infantry, who know the town, has had little work on Its hands. The Fourth cavalry has been In camp at Fort Rllss, near El Paso, where Hip remainder of It outside of the squadron In question will doubtless remain From there It has been doing patrol duty along the border Americans Well Treated. While the suspension of the constitu tional guarantees In Mexico amount to the proclamation of a mild sort of mar tial law, under which offenses of a eer tnlu sort are punishable by death after a very abbreviated trial at the scene of capture, the United States govern ment Is taking steps to Insure not only the fair trial of Americans already cap tured by fjie Mexican federals, but to see to It that these prisoners are treat ed according to civilized methods. The truth of tho matter seems to be that the two factions in .Mexico nro vying with each other In their efforts not to antagonize the United States, Every report of the capture of a town by tho Insurgents Is accompanied by the official statement that the lives and property of foreigners, especially Amer icans, have been scrupulously guarded. The attitude of the federal govern- India Has Aerial Mall. Many letters In the Indian mall re delved recently at London bear the postmark, "First aerial post, Allaha bad, 1011." Special mall was carried by aeroplane from tho United Prov inces exhibition, on the outskirts of Allahabad, to the general postofllee In that city and then forwarded In the nsual way. In future times when tho aerial mail becomes as common as the telegraph this first nerlal post may be come ouo f history's milestones. D CAN EE ON THE BORDER meut Is made plain in the treatment It promises the American prisoners, though probably under n strict con struction of the suspension act they are amenable to the short and sharp rigors of the IEomau law. Meanwhile it Is unofficially stated that with the American army along the frontier, shutting off the insurgent source of supplies, General Diaz will make a great effort to stamp the insur rection out. So far he has been unable to concentrate any large force upon Chihuahua because of the danger In other quarters. Tlx; need of a person al bodyguard for the aged president also held several thousand troops idle In the City of Mexico, while the rebel lion In Yucatan and other widely scat tered points has kept the army from mobilizing. It is not believed, however, that Gen eral Diaz's move against the insur gents will mean any overwhelming in-' crease in the regular force now in Chi- huahua and Gouora, though the expec tntlon has been expressed all along that once the American contraband ceased to enter the country the fed erals would not be long In strangling the uprising. None of the officers of the various state militias who are to join the army in Texas for the purpose of receiving instructions In military maneuvers are CAVAIJIV AT FORT RUSS, NEAR PASO. to report to the Instruction camps be fore April 1. It was announced at tb war department that the adjutant gen , erals of the state militias will not 1 be eligible to take part In the in Hlructlons and that none of the other officers will remain. Each officer from the udlltla will be attached to an of ficer of corresponding grade and from the same arm of the regular service. Every Soldier His Own Doctor. The medical supply depot of the army In New York has forwarded to San Antonio and Gnlveston -10,000 spe cial emergency medical kits for the individual use of the soldiers hide lKJiidontly of the medical staff in the Held. One of these kits will be Issued to every man, nnd each bears explicit instructions as to its use. They are small and compact and contain medicines, absorbent cotton for the treatment of wounds, court plaster, surgical plasters and band ages. It Is realized that the medical staff. In tho event of an army epidem ic, would be wholly inadequate to cope with the situation, and tho emergency kits are provided for such a contin gency. Tho opinion Is growing In all quar ters that tho only purpose of sending the American troops to tho border was for tho purposes of drill and field ma neuvers, as stated by President Taft, and for police and patrol duty in pre venting American aid from crossing tho Hue to support the insurrectos. If this proves to be tho only object the mobilization will yet bo worth while, as It will prove an Immense help to the discipline of the army. Clark Sends Seeds to Widows. Champ Clark, tho new speaker of the .house, has sent n consignment of garden seods to be distributed by his friends, especially among tho widows of his home district. Ho adds that the names of the widows are not on his mailing list and also states that tho packages can bo remalled without postage, as ills frank will carry them to tho widows free. It is understood that the new speaker Is doing this with the nimrovnl of his better hulf- 'i TO PHOTOGRAPH IDEAS. Workings of 'the Brain Can Be Pic tured, Asserts Eminent Psychologist. That photographs of human thoughts, pictures of tho ideas that pass through the brnin and are Inter expressed in words, may bo taken on dry plates or films, developed and kept as records of mental processes constitute the lat est "wonder of science, for which n wide and startling usefulness is pre dicted by Dr. Max Baff, eminent psy chologist of Clark college, Worcester, Mass. "We hear that such experiments have brought surprising results when carried on by Japanese savants," says Dr. Baff, "and it seems to mo that tho next thing is for us to go into the mat ter in this country. "As a method of taking such thought photographs a capital way would bo to expose the film in a vacuum tank and have tho subjects whose thoughts are to be photographed placed near the tank, oven with their heads against it. To develop tho film roll after It had been unwound In darkness with a pair of subjects thinking on a given sub ject while it was being unwound would show extremely interesting results. It is a matter for close investigation and should bo taken up in a long series of carefully conducted experiments." ASKS $15,000 FOR KISSES. Manicure Who Sues Salesman Also Al leges That He "Mussed Her Up." Miss Nellie Etheridge, who owns a manicuring establishment in Kansas City, lias filed suit against Charles It. Decker, in which she nsks $1,j,000 damages. Miss Etheridg.0 complains that Decker forcibly kissed her and "mussed her up." Miss Etheridge values four kisses at $2,500 apiece, and the $5,000 balance is for what she described as the "roughing" Mr. Decker gave her in the process. This "roughing" consist ed in bending her across the arm of a chair with such force as to burst her corset nnd forcing her chin up with his elbow. Miss Etheridge says she was under a physician's care ten days, suffering from strained muscles and nervous shock. Ho Beat Her. A woman said to tho railway sta tion ticket agent angrily: "Look here, sir, I've been standing before thU window twenty-live min utes!" The agent, a gray, withered little man. answered gently: "Ah, madam. I've been standing be hind it twenty-five years." Evolution. Brown Do you believe in tho theory of evolution? Black Sure thing.
