f "*• '*.1 SCORES WILSON'S TOWARD MEM Foreign Dealings Also Criticized bv Republican Nominee in : " Acceptance Speech. 4PESSAT CARNEGIE HALL Republican Party Shaft Be the Agency of National ; ™ : # , „ v -Achievement--Says Prepared- | Not Militarism. *V **. * v*'V,j ^ New York, Aug. 1.--Charles E. Hughes on Monday 'night outlined the issues upon which he will conduct his campaign for the presidency. His fi ' speech was in answer to one by Sena- tor Harding notifying him of his noni- 'i' iwtion by -the Republican party. - •il Mr. Hughes assailed the admiuistra- tion for the course it has pursued . with reference to Mexico, mainten- j$e; \" anee of American rights during the •k1*' European war, preparedness, and other great questions of the day. Mr. Hughes indorsed the declara­ tion in favor of woman suffrage and said, "opposition may delay, but in my judgment cannot defeat this move­ ment. I favor the vote for women." In his speech at Carnegie hall ac­ cepting the Republican nomination for- president, Charles E. Hughes said: "This occasion is more than a mere ceremony of notification. We are not here to indulge in formal expressions. We come to state in a plain and direct mahner our faith, our purpose and our pledge. This representative gathering is a happy augury. It means the strength of reunion. I? ' Need Sense of National Unity, lit means that the party of Lin­ coln is restored, alert, effective. It means the unity of a common percep­ tion of paramount national needs. It means that we are neither deceived hot benumbed by abnormal conditions. "We know that we are in a critical period, perhaps more critical than any period since the Civil war. We need a dominant sense of national unity; the exercise of our best constructive powers; the vigor and resourcefulness of a quickened America. "We desire that the Republican party, as a great liberal party, shall be the agency of national achievement, the organ of the effective expression of dominant JUBertcanism. "America First and Efficient." ""What do I mean by that? I mean America conscious of power, awake to obligation,-erect in self-respect, pre­ pared for every emergency, devoted to the ideals of peace, instinct with the spirit of' human brotherhood, safe­ guarding both Individual opportunity and the public interest, maintaining a well-ordered constitutional system adapted to local self-government with­ out the sacrifice of essential national authority, appreciating the necessity of stability, expert knowledge and thorough organization as the indis­ pensable conditions of security and progress; a country loved by its citi­ zens with a patriotic fervor permitting no division in their allegiance and no rivals in their affection--I mean America first and America efficient. It is in this spirit that I respond to your summons." *llivited Distrust of Our Competence." •"< Mr. Hughes attacked the present ad­ ministration for its record in foreign relations and especially in regard to Mexico. "At the very beginning of the present Administration," he said, "where in the direction of diplomatic Intercourse there should have been conspicuous strength and experience we had weak­ ness and inexperience. Instead of as- suring rgspect, we invited distrust of our competence and speculation as to «ur capacity for firmness and decision, thus entailing many difficulties which otherwise easily could have been es­ caped." He accused the president of having removed capable foreign representa tives in order to satisfy "deserving Democrats," referring particularly to the Santo Domingo affair and the re­ moval of Ambassador Herrick from VRince. ~ Mr. Hughes continued: . "The dealings of the administration with Mexico constitute a" coAfused chapter of blunders. We have not helped Mexico, She lies prostrate, im­ poverished, famine-stricken, over- Whelmed with the woes and outrages of internecine strife, the helpless vic­ tim of a condition of anarchy which the course of the administration served . 4Mlly to promote. "For ourselves, we have witnessed Hie murder of our citizens and the de­ struction of their property. We have Blade enemies, not friends. Instead of i commanding respect and deserving good will by sincerity, firmness and consistency, we provoked misapprehen­ sion and deep resentment. "In the light of the conduct of the Administration no one could under­ stand Its professions. Decrying inter ference, we interfered most exasperat ingly. We have not even kept out of actual conflict, and the soil of Mexico is stained with the blood of our sol­ diers. * v "We have resorted to physical inva­ sion, only to retire without gaining the professed object. It is a record whjch cannot be examined without "a pfaf found sense of humiliation." -> "A short period of firm, consistent and friendly dealing will accomplish more than many years of vacillation. Speaking of the European war- maintenance of American rights," Justice Hughes said: "In tills land of composite population, drawing its strength from every race, the national security demands that there shall be no paltering with American rights. The greater the danger of divisive In­ fluences the greater is the necessity of the unifying force of a just, strong and patriotic position. We countenance no covert policies, no intrigues, no secret schemes. We are unreservedly, devotedly, whole­ heartedly for the United States. That Is the rallying point for all Americans^ That is my position. I stand for the unflinching maintenance of all Ameri­ can rights on land and sea. Diplomacy Is Prevention." "The chief function of diplomacy is prevention; but in this other diplom­ acy failed, doubtless because of its im­ paired credit and the manifest lack of disposition to back words with ac­ tions. Had this government by the use of both formal and informal diplomatic opportunities left no doubt that when we said 'strict accountability' we meant precisely what we said, and that we should unhesitatingly vindi­ cate that position, I am confident tha,t there would have been no destruction of American lives fry the sinking of the Lusltanla. "TJiere we had ample notice; in fact, published notice. Instead of whittling away our formal statements-by equiv­ ocal conversations, we needed the straight, direct and decisive represen­ tations which every diplomat and for­ eign office would understand. 1 be­ lieve that in this way we should have been spared the repeated assaults on American lives. Moreover, a firm American policy would have been strongly supported by our people and the opportunities for the development of bitter feeling would have been vast­ ly reduced." Discussing preparedness, the Repub­ lican candidate said: "We are a peace-loving people, but we live In a world of arms. We have. no thought of aggression, and we de­ sire to pursue our democratic ideals without the wastes of strife. So de­ voted are we to these ideals, so in­ tent upon our normal development, that I do not believe that there Is the slightest danger of militarism in this country. Adequate preparedness is not militarism. It Is the essential as­ surance of security; It is a necessary safeguard of peace. It Is apparent that we are shock­ ingly unprepared. There Is no room for controversy on this point since the object lesson on the Mexican border. All our available regular troops (less, I believe, than 40,000) are there or in Mexico, and as these have been or­ dered out, that Is, we are summon­ ing practically all our movable militia forces in older to prevent bandit in* cursions. In view of the warnings of the past three years. It is inexcusable that we find ourselves in this plight. Army Is Too Small. "We demand adequate national de­ fense ; adequate protection on both our western anil eastern coasts. We demand "thoroughness and efficiency in both arms of the service. It seems to be plain that our regular army Is too small. I believe, further, that there should be not only a reasonable in­ crease In the regular army, but that the first citizens' reserve subject to call should be enlisted as a federal army and trained under federal au­ thority. ' "It is a great mistake to say that resoluteness in protecting American rights would have led to war. Rather in that course lay the best assurance of peace. "That Is not the path of national se­ curity. Not only have we a host of resources short of war by which to, enforce our just demands, but we shall never promote our peace by being stronger in words than in deeds. We should not have found It difficult to maintain peace, but we should have maintained peace with honor. "During tills critical period the only , danger of war has lain in the weak course of the administration." Justice Hughes announced tliat he stands for protection of American in­ dustries, for an effective system of rural credits, conservation of natural resources, an adequate federal work­ men's compensation law and the con­ servation of the just interests of la­ bor. CAUSES OF BAD b ' Defective Vision Largely Due to Pour* ^ i' • S » . 1*8 Over, Books in Poor mC- •' \ -- ilfieh of our defective vision--a t , ^reakness unknown among savage " places--is undoubtedly due to the fact mat, after the tenth year, the human | " weing in civilized countries Is forced fe %o spend a great part of the time in pouring over books either to read or write. The child is admonished not to EYESIGHT I allow his attention to stray, but to ap­ ply himself diligently to the work In hand, whereas he should be taught that, while reading or writing, liel-iust glance up evepy few seconds and look at some distant object, like a tree, to be seen through a window. In keeping his eyes riveted on the book right in front of him, the child is doing the worst possible harm to his eyes, for such continual application to a nearby object changes the form of the eye, and produces that elongation which hesults in nearsightedness.

DISASTROUS FLOODS IN THE CAROLINAS After exacting an unknown toll of death and causing a property loss of millions of dollars, the floods in the Carolines have subsided. Many towhs and villages were wrecked, and Asheville, N. C., was especially hard hit. The photograph shows how the ga/ and electric plante^ and railroad yards of that city were flooded. CROWN PRINCE REWARDS~HIS^iRDUN TROOPS This photograph, which came to America on the German submarine Deutschland, shows the German crown prtnce distributing iron crosses among his troops on the Verdun front. Water Is poured Into the top, writer In the Philadelphia Inquiry says, and escapes in regulated quan tity over the leaves below. The liquid is so regulated In time, leaf pot and the vessel itself, that the overhang cup Is emptied at tlje instant a perfect in fusion is reached, and, with the weight relieved, the uijr float raises the leave** above the liquid, thus stopping any further process of infusion. Four minutes is the pioper time for brew­ ing ideal tea, and this result Is said to be effected by the "tea bob."

TROOPER AND CUSTOMS IN­ SPECTOR AND FIVE^|4Ts^ y LAWS KILLED* , ;< j'< h BATTLE NEAR FORT HANCOCK Mexicans Attacked When They Hi • sisted Arrest While on AmerleiHl Side--Ranch Owner Attempt* ed to Shield Therm Washington, Aug. 2.--The w#r to* partmetit on Monday received official confirmation of the killing of two Americans and five Mexican bandits when the latter were resisting arrest near Fort Hancock, Tex. ' General Funston forwarded to the department the report of General Bell, com in (Older at Fort Hancock, saying the fighting occurred one and a half miles from San Chez ranch, near Fort Hancock, at 5:30 o'clock in the morn­ ing. General. Bell's report implied that there were no Mexican survivors. Et Paso, Tex., Aug. 2.--Two Ameri­ cans were killed and .one wounded and five Mexican bandits killed in a battle five miles south of Fort Han- c<fck on Monday. \ The Americans dead are John J. Twoomey, Troop F, Eighth Massachu­ setts cavalry, and Robert Woods, spe­ cial custom^ Inspector. Sergt. Lewis Thompson of Troop F was wounded. American authorities were told by Carranza officers that bandits were in the vicinity of Fort Hancock. Cow­ boys trailed the outlaws to a Mexican ranch house just on the American side of the border, with seven sol­ diers of Troop F, Eighth cavalry. The owner of the ranch met tlwi: men at the door. He denied the pres­ ence of the bandits. Woods and Sergeant Thompson, In command of the soldiers, rode for­ ward. As they did the Mexican fled to the house and began firing from the door. His companions inside* poked rifles through the adobe wall "and fired a volley. Woods fell from his horse at the first shot. As he did he jerked out his gun and killed the ranch owner. The soldiers | charged and Twoomey fell. The American rifles proved too hot and the Mexicans fled. Those who escaped. General Bell was notified, are being pursued bx Carranza's troops. Their capture was predicted. United States troopers will not be sent across the line to hunt the mar­ auders, according to a statement at army headquarters here. Sergeant Thompson was brought to the army hospital here on the train' bringing Woods* body. Thompson gave the following account of the fight: . "Captain Marujo, In command of eight Carranzista soldiers stationed at San Ignacio, reports having cap­ tured four bandits on the Meilcan side, of the line and reports five oth­ ers escaped to the American side. "After the fight between bandits and the Massachusetts troops, Mant- Jal with his soldiers crossed the 11 tie and took charge of the bodies of the bandits. "This was done, It lis said, .with the consent of Customs Officer Bean. Marujal then took up pursuit of flee­ ing bandits in Mexico. It Is believed they are seriously wounded. The clothing of dead bandits contained nothing that would help to establish their Identity." $200,000 STORM IN PEORIA Ten Street Cars Struck by Lightning In Freak Blow Confined to One City's Environs. Peoria, 111., Aug. 2.--Damage esti­ mated at $200,000 was done here when a terrific thunderstorm, coming as an end to 38 days of drought, swept over the business and factory sections of the city. ' Hundreds of telephones were put out of order, ten street cars were struck by lightning, poles were blown down, and the entire street car service of the city was held up 15 minutes. Roofs were torn off several buildings and several were struck by lightning. Railroads re­ ported little damage, and there were no fatalities. The storm was freakish in that It covered only a section limited to live «illes east and west of the city. New Air Raid on England. ^London, Aug. 2.--The eastern and southeastern counties of England had a visitation from German airships late ^Monday nlglit.

Cattle and Horse Ranching In Western Canada--Steers ̂ Brought 10 Cents a Pound* * *$£ on the Seattle Market. ̂V ̂ That big money is made by the hoc* cattle rancher in Western Canada, and also by the small farmer as well, to shown by the undisputable facts pre­ sented from time to time. A rancher, near Glelchen, Alberta, who com­ menced 'in a small way nine years ago, recently disposed of 1,243 cattle at a total of $101,304.50, and this was only his surplus stock for the present season. A December shipment of 217 head of ranch steers brought the owner an av­ erage of over $80 per head. They were taken straight from the range without any grain feeding and were in excellent condition to be sold for the Christ­ mas trade. Another shipment of 100 head, averaging $70 each, was made to Seattle.' The highest price paid on the Seattle market was for an Alber- tan steer, which weighed 1,700 ibsv and brought the fancy price of 10c per lb., or $170. - Six carloads of live stock from ranches 65 miles *from Pincher, Al­ berta, shipped to Spokane, excited keen Competition there on account of their exceptional quality. The price realized was $10,028. American deal­ ers say they must look to Canada for beef supplies. - 7 A livestock firm, which has shipped over 2,000 head of beef cattle to the American farmer since the middle of November, reports a splendid recep­ tion of Alberta stock in the United States. ^ A carload of choice 'Alberta steers were sold early in January for ship­ ment to the British Columbia coast at $6.70 per 100 lbs. and, later on, a lot from Carstairs brought $6.90--the highest price paid since the spring of 1915. Shipments from Calgary live­ stock yards during 1915 were: Horses* 8,675; cattle, 30,577; hogs, 144,515; sheep. 12,410. A course in agriculture and livestock demonstration which has been conducted by the Provincial Dept. of Agriculture here was well at­ tended, showing the Interest taken by "city residents in agricultural progress. John Toung, of Sidney, Matt., gives his experiences in sheep-raising as fol­ lows, as quoted in a local paper: "I bought a bunch of fifty ewea, which cost me $262.50. With this little flock I demonstrated Just what can be done in the sheep business* This fall I sold fifty fat lambs at $6.50 per head, $325, and 18 of the best ewe Iambs, which I kept, I value at $8.00 per head, $144. The wool sold at an av­ erage of $2.07 per head, $103.50. This makes the very nice total of $572.50." "They ran out nearly every day all winter. The value of hay and oats was small, and one can make them very comfortable through the winter with very little expense. For shelter I have a shed, about 125 feet long and 14 feet wide, which I cover with straw. This .gives them protection from the cold winds: yet it is always cool enough to be healthy." "I intend going in more for sheep this fall, as I believe them to be the most profitable stock on the farm." Desire of farmers and ranchers to increase their sheep holdings is Indi­ cated by the sale of 2,500 head re­ cently at $9.00 each. High wool prices and profitable demand for mut­ ton are the reason given for such a figure. Manitoba sheep breeders arranged last year for the Provincial Depart­ ment of Agriculture to handle their wool output on a co-operative basis and obtained most satisfactory results. About 75,000 lbs. of wool were han­ dled, netting the shippers over 2Be per lb.--Advertisement. * Pa's Opinion. ' "Pa," asked little Sammy Twobbte* "what is a misnomer?"
