One of El Paso's moat enthusiastic

Monday one ot his mends was telltnsr
of some erreetlTe work I bad don
for this elly. When the national tuerd
returned to their home after a few
months' stay on the border som of
the soldiers bad a treat deal to say
about the wlrkednesa ot El Paso. They
belonred to tbe crowd that IS always
on a still hunt to locate and mis with
In. It seems that after reading what
the traducen or El Paso bad to say
Mr. Knickerbocker wrote a (omnium

"1 am glad mat Bob Krakaucr said
what be did at today's luncheon about
the mining men or Meilco who are
now making their home in El Paso."
said H. w. Broaddus Tuesday. "Titer
are the kind or men who make good
cltliena. They are men who do. tilings
and they are the most patriotic or pa-
triotic Americans and yet the ' peaeo-a'.-any-prlce
disciples called them
grasping adventurers who were not
I'ntuieu to tne protection or the Amer-
ican government when they were
leing robbed beaten and humiliated
by Mexican bandits. They ried to El
Paso 4terau.se they were denied pro-
tection in Mexico and wo hope they
will make this city their permanent
home. We have plenty of peoplnf In
I I Paso who have resided here many
years and who always tiave a volee in
done as much for the bulldlnr up of
El Paso as have these mine operators
who came to us but a rew months ago
from Mexico. They have been the most
liberal givers to everything El Paso
has undertaken since they rame here."

BAN JACKSON Ml Mli It
BY "INTtXLIUENT" WITNESS.
mi one occasion I saw Judge Pan
Jackson subdued" said J. N. Nealon.
"Dan was derendlng a boy who was
accused of robbing a visitor to the
city. The mmplalnlng witness lettl-
ried that defendant was showing blm
the sights by electric light and got
away with his money. Judge Dan
was cross examining the rubbed man
who did not show any too much In-
telligence. 'What Is the occupation of
the defendant what is his proresslon'
shouted the jinUe. The wltucss de-
clared be didn't know what occupa-
tion tbe delendant followed. 'Do you
mean to say you spent the arternoon
and night going around with the de-
fendant and don't know what be does?'
asked the Judge. In an annoyed tone
or rolce the witness replied: i don't
know his rupatioii any better than
I would know yours if I walked In
here and saw you.' Leaning back In
his chair Dan murmured 'I guess

"The commission Is emphatically of the
opinion" the latter states nuttier on
"that tho evidence necessary to establish
the full truth should lie presented with-

be maintained In a position to do Ibelr

That's what Germany's Crown Prince told
an American woman six months before this war began
as related by Ambassador Gerard in his recently published book. The Crown
Prince said lie hoped that war would occur while his father was alive but if
not he would start a war the moment he came to the throne-" just for the
fun of it." He told her their plans were laid to attack and conquer France
then England AND THE UNITED STATES and Russia.
And so they started this war in August of
that year just for the fun of it and their "Tun" has
been going on for over three years.
They have bombed hospitals and killed
Red Cross Nurses just for the fun of it. They sent their
Zeppelins to drop bombs on helpless women and children in England just
for the fun of it. They sank the Lusitania with American women and
-The Crown Prince of Germany
children on board just for the fun of it. They have tortured and clubbed
the helpless wounded lying in agony on the field of battle just for the fun
of it.
They have spread starvation and ruin and
horror all over Europe just for the fun of it. They have
planted their sneaking spies all over America just for the fun of it. They tried
to get Japan and Mexico to attack the United States just for the fun of it
Von Bernstorff while he" was our honored guest arranged to blow up our
factories sink our ships AND KILL OUR SOLDIERS JUST FOR THE
FUN OF IT.
Our soldiers are going across to France-
thousands of them are already there and if YOU
D0NT DO YOUR PART if you dont back those soldiers up with all the
money at your command then thousands of our brave American boys will
be NEEDLESSLY KILLED "JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT."
