Fvery one of my men will have two pairs of shoes so fitted that he will he aide to stand a Rood hike. Pearl Horton, who used to he in Thome v I'rishie's, lias been a great help, tho all the detail of this is iaid down in regulations. Fvcry man in the regiment must have his feet inspected and in those cases where feet show they have suffered from improperly fitted shoes, the man is ordered to discard the old shoes and properly fitted shoes are issued. One must know how to handle men ami how to teach them the necessity of keeping clean. I can see 100 per cent improvement in the personal attention these men give themselves. They learn iot to abuse their stomach and themselves. One has to he a horve doctor and a mule skinner. The army mule Is a problem, tho "Owosso" seems to be an exception.

This is a part of the Ilockies. but asy of ascent. Thousands of the troops have been to the top anil say the view is wonderful. They had a hull fight in Juarez today, but nobody poes from here, as Americans are persona non gratis in Mexico. I can't help but feel tho, that after a few weeks of learning and s'hooliim: for now I can see how badly the national guard needed it, we will be coming home a hundred per cent better outfit and gainers, not losers. As for war with Mexico, 1 don't believe it will ever come. As to sniping, the newspapers are slamin? for new.--. It is absolutely as quiet here as at (Irayling. Haven't heard a shot for four days, and most of those we did hear were the execution of some robber in Juarez. All the Carranza generals come into Fl Paso freely.

Marvin Stewart, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel I. Stewart. Fi) Sherman a v., made the second flicht of what he hopes will 1 a pretentious icareer as an aeronaut Sunday after noon at the Samuel tJood addition before a lar-:e crowd of South Fend people who had turned out for the second day's flights of Prof. A. P. Himes. Stewart, who is a student at the local high school, made a beautiful ascension in the face of a heavy wind which prevented the proper- filling of the giant uas bag. As the balloon sailed over the tract, miniature parachutes made of American flags, and containing $40 in money and credits on lots were released. His drop, with a 2$ foot parachute, landed Stewart safely in the center of Portacf avenue, just south of lliver!iev cemetery. I Stvwart made his first flight in ! Iowa some time ago, and happened 'to be in South Fend when Prof. I limes was secured for the flight at the iJood addition. Both Saturday and Sunday. Stewart was on the grounds, assisting in every way possible the preparations for the flight. When asked w hat hcompensation, "a tide would like as w as Stew art's

A continuous riot of fun from the time the special car left at : o'clock in the tnorninir until the return at 7 o'clock in the evening, was the experience of members of the Per Se club on their annual picnic Sunday. This year's outing was held at Twin Franch, Mich. Nearly 7 5 members and invited suests attended tlie picnic, the majority of which were aboard the special car of the Northern Indiana rc.ilway company, leaving the intci urban station at 0 o'clock. A few made the trip to the beautiful resort on the shores of the St. Joseph river in automobiles. The crowd ai rived at Twin Franch shortly before 11 o'clock, and pramcs of various sort were played until dinner was .erved in the Twin Branch hotel, conducted by P. -J. Murray, at 2 o'clock. After a chicken dinner at hotel, the crowd enjoyed an accordion concert by Anthony Santucci, a vaudeville performer who is well known to the patrons of the Orplioum theater having played the house frequently in the rast several years. Santucci was the Kliest of the club, having come from Chica"o especially to entertain the Per St- picnickers. Many of the party enjoyed a swim in the river following the concert. Sportins events ard a great variety of pames occupied the ciowd until time for returning to this eity. The single accident to mar the daywas the result of a tussle John Nobile had with John Parker. Mr. Nobile suffered a severe sprain of the ankle, and had to be assisted to the car. DECLARES POPE IS CAUSE OF STRIFE Lloyd Shanklin of Springfield, la., declared in his non-sectarian lecture on 'The cause und Consequence of the Present Awful War" at the old Salvation army hall, 119 F. Washington st., last nii;ht. that the jope of Home caused the present European w'ar. First, he enumerated the causes of the war commonly assigned by authorities. "Yet back of all this" he declared, "and deeper than all this lies the hidden yet plain truth that the Pope of Home worked through the (Irand Duke of Austria to get established in Serbia the Roman Catholic religion I.y law." "Serbia is. or was, .s per cent tlreek Catholic. Hussia i. Creek Catholic. Russia helped the Serbians to get their freedom from Turkey in the Kussian warn. Serbia can therefore be called Russia's youmrer brother in the Creek Catholic faith. "The concord closeup at which was signed by the Papal secretary of state. Caspari. and a representative of Serbia, who was no doubt a Roman Catholic, made Serbia a nation of the latter faith by law. AeainsU this tho Serbians rebelled and the result waf the death of the Crand Duke of Austria. Because of this Austria declared v.ar on Serbia." Then the speaker pointed out how the various alliances were formed. He continued bitterly: "And all the time the pope sits back claiming to hold down the seat of neutrality plrvnninic the hie world peace program which he wishes to sit as moderator or president of. in order to hrin- anient this lonr de -ire of airain ruling the nations as he once did." ic i: citraM social.
