NO ARMS TO MEXICO. The Mexican situation continues to

Improve in appearance, and there may be no need for the use of mora of our troopa across the border. Whether or not thera is such need «ni depend chiefly on the attitude of Qeneral Carranza. The change in the conditions la due to a change In bis attitude and apparent frame of mind. Had he continued in the way along which ho appeared determined to go there would have been no •Map* from the sanding Into Maxtoo ct amilee larva enoogh to settle the atkirs of Mexico onoe for all.

Thar* la no need, however, that our relations with Carrai— shouM ba effusive in thetr cordiality, and every reason why we should not permit any-flxtog under the present stats of MalcsMHtr that may make the situa­tion more difficult later on. Parti cu-Mr should there be no Importation Into Mexico of arms and ammunition Mm of such character and in such quantities aa are actually needed by the Mexican troops for coping with the bandits who are the only persons agnlnst whom munitions are needed. The only use that Carranza, baa for 'weapon of any kind Just now ta for the extermination of bandits. His need for munitions will be In propor­tion to hi* actual activity In this di­rection. The more bandits he dis-poeee ot the more ammunition he will uee up, and the more he may proper­ly be permitted to have to take its place. But there should be no thought anywhere of placing Mexico at preaent on the same plane on which we would place any civilized nation under normal conditions. The conditions In Mexico are not normal tor a civilised nation, and until they are, Mexico, and all who occupy placee of responsibility and authority In her government must expect to be given special treatment.

ECONOMIC WAR. The great powers now at

making preparations for a con­tinuance of the struggle after the armed conflict Is over. The weapon* are to be lathes and spindles and plows and steel rails instead of guns and shells and grenades and bayonets. The contest will be a strenuous one, nevertheless^

Both the central empires and the entente allies are setting In order, so far as they can at this time, their in­dustrial machinery for the moat effective possible use after the war. There has been a great deal of talk about the exhaustion of the European nations as a reanlt of the war. Especially have thoae who htm ad­vocated a do-nothing policy in thla oouater, both military and economic, been food of drawing terrible ple-taMvf the conditions of the warring nations after peace is declared,

tthort effort lata a permanent '

place at the head of the world's wealthy nations, receiving wtthout effort the prosperity which the other nations hav« thrown away.

It la idle to argue about the wickedness and waste of war, be­cause tt is idle to argue about that which everyone admits. But If we base our action now and in the fu­ture on the expectation that the na­tions now lighting will at the close of the war go around wringing their hands and shedding tears over the losses which they have sustained, and taking no steps to rebuild and re­create. we shall be sadly disappoint­ed.

The very wastefulness ef war has stimulated those who are engaged In it to measures of economy hitherto unknown. ThlB does not apply mere­ly to economy In the consumption of food and the expenditure of money. These are relatively small matters. The real economy that is being taught by the war, that la being practiced by all the nations, and that will en­dure, to be projected into every later activity of peace, is economy of effort, the invention and the application of methods to obtain the greatest pos­sible results with the amallest con­sumption of force, human or mechan­ical.

The nation that la at war today la conserving its energy aa it has never done before. It has Installed new machinery. It has adopted the latest and moat scientific methods to apply to every oonoelvable operation of the production and preparation of raw material, of tta manufacture Into the finished' product, of assembling it, and packing it, and transporting it, and distributing It. And every na­tion 18 now engaged In making plana for the utilisation of all the ma­chinery which has thus bean created in the ordinary activities of Ufe as soon as peaoc baa been declared.

We may call the conditions which will then prevail economic war. We may oall them competition. We may call them what we win. The fact ia that there will be a tremendous struggles for the trade of the world, * straggle which, for a time, at least, will take on the aspects of national

id raelal hoetllity, but which will Involve, not merely the natlona which are now fighting each other, but all the nations of the world. We have been able, thus far, to keep out of the flekl of actual physical conflict. But whether we desire to do so or not,

• meat engage in this other con­test. England and Germany will be contending with each other for the txade of the world, hut both will also he contending with the United States. In each of the warring oountrlea the ableet men of the nations are en­gaged in the organisation of this work. There is to be no waiting un­til the war la ever. Everything must be ready. Our own people are slow to appreciate the importance of this movement- A few men give evi­dence of understanding its meaning. The reet are dlapoeed to look on with indifference and let things elide.

ARMIES NOT MADE OVER NIGHT. Mr. Bryan told us some time ago

that if the need arose for their serv­ices, a million of Americans would apring to arms within 14 hours—or was it before breakgaat? Undoubted­ly they would. Unfortunately, Mr. Bryan failed to inform us what these very many men would do after they sprung. Perhaps he Is reserving this for a later lecture.

In the meantime, we are having a alight illustration of the difference between springing to arms and get­ting ready to fight. We had an illus­tration on a somewhat larger scale some eighteen years ago. Our men sprang to arms fast enough, and If we had had a real war instead of our little skirmish with 8paln, the nation would then have paid dearly for its indifference to the ordinary consider­ations of prudence. As It was, we got off cheaply. No foe landed on our shoree because the foe waa even worse off than we were in the matter of ar­my organisation, its navy waa a lot of tuba, and our own navy. In lta relation to the naval progress of the time, waa a better navy than it is today.

With no possibility that our own territory would he invaded, with noth­ing to do but pay strict attention to the organisation and handling of our own forces, we got into one of the worst tangles that ever was seen. Our men, who had sprung to arma with such enthuslaem, with no enemy with­in a thousand milea, were not able to even keep their own camps in order, and we lost more men from Inexcus­able and avoidable illnesa than a bet­ter prepared nation would have lost in a man's slaed war.

It 1s said that we have made some progreea In the matter of camp sani­tation since that time. The degree of progreea remains to be demonstrated in actual practice. But, with the probability of war in Mexico before us for months, with the national guard on the qui vtve during all this time, and with the troops having actually been called out for service more than a month, we are told by men who should know that it will take two monthe of hard work to make efficient soldiers of the men who are now at the border, and who are admitted to be fine specimens. At present, while the men are within a stone's throw of Mexico, if they should be required to move, they could take with them only what they oould carry on their backs, for. neither horses nor mules have yet been provided for ordinary freighting purposes.

Senator LaKUetto haa bad long and varied experience before large audiences. He hae made his living, or

large part of it, as a lecturer, fol­lowing a perfectly honorable and le­gitimate occupation. He haa striven with praiseworthy energy and ear­nestness to equip himself tor that work, and there are few tricks of manner, of voice, poeture or gesture, of choice of language, of Illustration or of subject matter which seemed likely to capture his audlencea which have eecaped hie attention.

Mr. LaJfaUette discovered years ago that he could always get a round of applause by denouncing the newspa­per*. Every newspaper, Mg or little, doee a lot of things that a lot of peo­ple do not like. Hence, when a speaker, with a show of virtuous In­dignation. aalls the no—papers to taak he ia aure of applause, both from theee who have a deep seated enmity to all newspapers because they have not been able to use them, and from thoae who think that the newspaper, like all other persons and institutions, Is all the better for a little occasional caaUgaOoa. Therefore the applause cornea and we know of no cheaper or eaxler wag of producing it. LaFol-lette needs applaoae in hie bnstneae, and. like a good buslneas man, he goes after It.

He made his usual attack on the newspapers In the sonata the other day, making the usual charge that the newspapers gell thetr editorial potior, throwing tt tn with their ad-vwrtlalng speoe, or words to that af­fect.

DECISION OP SUPREME COURT. From Hettinger County.

Elliott Supply Company, a Domestic Corporation, Plaintiff and Appellant, vs. J. D. Johnson, Defend­ant and Respondent.

Syllabus: (1) A person cannot for breach of waranty of the quality of personal property rescind an executed sale in the abeence of fraud or an agreement authorising a rescis­sion.

(>> Evidence examined and held insufficient to warrant a submission to the Jury of the defendant's coun­ter-claim, there being insufficient proof of damages occasioned by the breach of warranty therein alleged. It waa therefore error to deny plain­tiff's motion for a directed verdict.

(>) The true measure of damages for breach of warranty of the quality of personal property is the excess, if any, of the value which the property would have had at the time to which the warranty referred if it had been complied with, over its actual value at that time.

ANCESTRY OP THE MEXICAN. Of every 100 persons in Mexico only

It are of a pure white race; 3S are Indians, and the other 43 are a some* what sorry mixture of various races, but chiefly of Indian and negro-

There are fully 15 times as many Indiana in Mexico as dwell In the United States. An Indian wae really the Qeorge Washington of Mexico, and the name of Benito Juares Is perpetuated in a town mentioned every day in the troublous dispatches from that unhappy land.

The whites or real Mexicans are descendants of the Spanish conquer­ors. Those Spaniards didn't wish to share a good thing with anybody and so they shut out all other Immigra­tion. Hence it happene that today, with a population twice that of Penn­sylvania, Mexico has only about 60,-000 foreigners dwelling permanently In the republic.

The mestizo is a common variety of the mixed race in Mexico. He is a eon of a white father and aa Indian mother.

A chlnco is another prevalent type. He Is the product of an Indian fa­ther and a negro mother. He le not a handsome specimen of the human race, nor a reliable one.

Then there is the samblo, also numerous, and he is the son of a negro father and Indian mother.

Theee three types of mixed raoea, pins the ordinary mulatto, form the major portion of nearly half the Mcalean population.

South St. Paul, July 21.—Effects of the recent eaaier trend of prices was clearly evident yesterday in the killer department although traders' views still differed to considerable extent ae to the reductions secured eince the 'cloee of last week. Tone of the deal yesterday was still weak' although there wae not a very extensive quota of stock on hand.

Outside news had a bearish tone and this helped buyers retain all the ground recently gained. This has been over-rated in many Instances, they asserted emphatically yesterday, declaring the actual dressing figures would not reflect more than a quarter average cut since Monday trade start­ed and that some kinds were not worse than weak to IB cents lower compared with a week ago.

On the other hand sellers often la­beled it a 26 to 40 cents lower deal for rank and file of the killer stock and It was practically Impossible to reconcile the conflicting claims.

The week's purchases by packers have included but a small quantity of $>.00 to $9.60 or higher steer ma­terial while $6.00 to $88.00 has been getting a big share of the contingent and common to trashy sorts have ranged even as low as from $5.50 down to $4.50.

Cows and heifers of the $6.00 to $6.50 grades predominate, everything practically being t>f grassy sort. Few qualify for release around or over $7.00 under prevailing conditions as merits distinctly above the average are required to get such clearance. Cutters and canners have been cheapened this week but yesterday looked hardly as much discounted as some of the fair to medium butcher stock. Bulls, too, showed some re­covery from Monday's extreme stumpy deal but showed effects of the battering earlier i nthe month.

Veal calves sold about steady gen­erally but weiner calves were dis­criminated against further and many sagged half a dollar and cleared around the $4,000 mark in contrast to the $11.26 outlet for best vealers.

Estimated receipts were 1,300 cat­tle and 500 calves against 1,625 cat­tle and 524 calves a week ago and 1.893 cattle and 485 calves a year ogo.

Review of the hide and wool mar­ket by The Redick Hide ft Fur Co., Grand Forks. HIDES—While the market is quiet

the undertone seems strong on all short haired stock, but as dealers still have some winter hides to dis­pose of which they insist go in with the short haired it tends to keep prices down as tanners will not pay full prices for this class of stock.

TALLOW—The market remains very dull and quiet after the decline, which was very heavy. We find it necessary to reduce our prices an other l-2c per lb.

WOOL—While prices seem to be fairly well maintained, there is very little demand from the mills and dealers are Inclined to reduce their prices but And it very hard to do so on account of the strong com­petition in the country. Fine wools are a drug on the market and not wanted except at much lower prices than medium or coarse.

BOY SLAPS PEOPLE IN THE FACE Minneapolis, July 20.-—Minneapolis

police and court authorities are face to face today with a oase which brings home strikingly the danger of an outbreak here similar to that in Chicago, when a deranged" negro ran amuck, six persons dying before his reign of terror ended.

A youth, about 19, arrested yester­day on complaint that he was running about the streets slapping strangers in the face.

At police headquarters he refused to talk, give his name or answer any questions.

The Minneapolis police have no rec­ord of known morons or persons men­tally lacking who are known to have criminal tendencies.

SHEEP AND IAMB ROM STEADY

Business Was of Small Vol­

8outh St. Paul, July 81.—For the small asortment of sheep and lambs here yesterday sale was practically steady as compared with Wednesday's clearance. Lambs which dropped a quarter on that day maintained the level then reached and top kinds landed at $10,00 regularly. Sort-outs were listed at $8.00 chiefly although some cull property was marked down even cheaper.

Best handyweight ewes continued to earn steady clearance while heavy grades were cashed at $5.75 or under. Breeding ewes at $5,500 to $8.00 changed hands In limited numbers, not many of the right sorts being of­fered.

Estimated receipts were 300 against 342 a week ago and 196 a year ago.

PORKER RATES RATHERUNEVEN

Hogs Mostly Steady But

Weak in Some Spots-

Estimate 3,600.

Crops—Both north and south of Frankfort badly damaged by hail last night. Black rust bad from Hitch­cock to Houghton. Damage 26 to 50 per cent. Spink and Brown counties, South Dakota, will not have over 60 per cent of laat year's wheat crop. This condition Is not general, but con­fined to these two counties. Black rust is In evidence elsewhere but no serious damage has been reported. Messages today rrom North Dakota advise damage by heat and rust but this condition is not general.—Van-dusen Harrington Co.

White, S. D.—Wheat here destroyed. Black rust on every stalk clear to the head.

Liverpool—Spot wheat 1 higher; corn 1 to 11-2 lower.

New York—Short covering was a factor of considerable consequence, offsetting more of the effects produced last week when short selling on a con­siderable scale was still under way. The tendency was downward yester­day, it was upward but on both oc­casions there were exceptions to the rule which produced irregularity.— The Times.

Shorts in July corn are in a most unpleasant condition. About all the contract com here has been shipped out the laat two days. There are only ten more days of this month. More corn has been bought for July than it is possible. Buyers took it against sales each for shipment this and next month. Most of it for export.

English distilleries have been taken over by the government and they are making alcohol largely from Ameri­can corn. France has in the last few days let one of the largest orders for alcohol , ever placed In the United States.

A more bullish feeling exists in wheat and bulls say the market has only commenced to reconcile the real situation in the northwest and abroad. Crops Abroad are generally making unfavorable showings and the temper of the trade there haa become more bullish. Export sales wheat at the seaboard yesterday were 300,000 bush­els via the gulf. Foreign houses were good buyers of futures but it was said the advance was so rapid that business waa restricted. Sales at Chicago to the seaboard were 50,000 bushels oats. -'-The Herald.

Liverpool—Wheat steady at the im­mediate opening as Influenced by sharp advance in Amerioan but later eased with traders quiet and demand slow. Spot steady 1 higher for No. 1 Manitoba and other grades still ex­hausted- Cargo market opened with Manitobas 7 1-2 higher but later eased to 4 1-2 higher than yesterday. Win­ters nominally 3d dearer. Weather in United Kingdom fine.

Lecount wires from Aberdeen, S. D. —Through this territory wheaO in bad condition, crop mostly in milk M»d straw is rotten with black rust. Crop has been injured in some locali­ties 50 per cent with black rust. Still working on the plant. If infection continues at present rate another week, much late wheat will never be harvested. I expect to see rust de­velop In North Dakota the same as It has nere. Cooler today.

South St. Paul, July 21.—Reports on the hog trade which have lacked uniformity most of the week were still more or less at variance in that department yesterday as traders could not be brought to agree fully on the situation. Buyers figured their droves to cost practically even with those oi the previous day but sellers often pro­tested that offers on the plainer droves were weak to a dime oft.

There was nothing quite matching the best qualities droves here the two preceding days and sales ranged from $9.00 to $9.55.

Average cost stood at $9-34 and was the same as Wednesday's.

Bulk of the business was again at $9.25 to $9.36. Old sows and coarse grassy offerings and "skips" were culled out under the regular spread, some landing in the neighborhood of 38.75 while pigs still cashed mostly at $8.50.

Estimated receipts were 3,600 against 4,835 a week ago and 3,172 a year ago.

SPRING. Duluth, July 21.—The wheat trade

seems to feel that the world's situa­tion as a whole has seldom been In a more acute position to advance pric­es than it was yesterday. Owing to poor prospects for wheat in Europe as reported by Broomh&U, together with a larger number of crop dam­age advices, from a wide territory In the spring wheat country, was the signal for a broad and very active market to follow which waa succeed­ed. Prices bulged continually from the opening of the market up to about 12:30, when the high mark was scored, $1.18 7-8 for September and December. The low point was the in­itial trade 1.16 and the close 1.19 1-4 for both futures.

DURUM. Duluth, July 21.—Bullish feeling

was in evidence from the outset yes­terday and caused buoyancy In prices. Further reports of black rust and hot weather were the chief Influencing factors that figured in the sharp ad­vance. The market was active thru-out the day under good trade, mainly in September. The high point of Sep­tember was 1.10 1-4, December 1.10 1-2; low 1.06 7-8 and 1.07 respective­ly. with the close 1.09 8-4 for both futures.

FLAX. Duluth. July 21.—A good demand

was reported for oil cake yesterday which made crushers more willing to enter the market for supplies. This, together with some short covering and light offerings caused a strong upturn in -prices. The fall deliveries were the leaders and a fairly good trade was negotiated on the whole. Early prices proved low and the clos­ing levels were 1-4 to 3-4c under the high point, but with net gains from Wednesday, ranging 1 8-4c tn Sep­tember to 3c for October. The De­cember closed only l-2c up. • M ^
