Wally Reid made the tragic mistake of believing he could beat the frame. Endowed with marvellous health and vitality, and with a profile that made movie producers his slaves and impressionable young ladies his romantic worshippers, he made the fatal mistake of regarding his physical credit as inexhaustible. According to members of his own family, he went the pace that MEXICO CITY. Jan. (By the As- first acceptt-d by th nation me spirit, the Fusclxti move- t.ii.

Most of the "tiny nations" of Europe, full of combatlveness and American grub, have decided to be come more ao, by going to war. Thus they narrowly avert going to work. All the Portland papers are handling the sad fata of Evelyn, Kesbit Thaw, In a fearless manner. Then suddenly something broke. Wally was not himself. His n-rve: behaved abominably, fie became touchy and off his feed. There was the crisis in the history of AVallace R?id. If he had not been so habituated to the easy way, if he had not become soft ened and spoiled by that fallacious faith in his exceptional Destiny, he might then have fought his way back to health and a life with rolid foundations. Hut his solid fibre had gone. He still believed he could beat the same. What Nature couldn't do, could be done by drugs. Wally again and for the last time took the easiest way. Once more it no doubt appeared to the principal in this familiar Tragedy that victor' could be attained. But the delusion was a brief one. It was too late. Wally had to pay and the resources for that payment were not his. So in weakness, rather than wickedness, in false philosophy rather than in wilful sin, lies the tragic lesson of Wally Reid. Judging from the boulevard In front of the high school, what the state needs. Is free gasoline, not text books. There has been quite an extensive exchange of hay for cash, and vice versa, the past week.

NOTHING TOO GOOD, ETC., ETC. t (Congressional Record) : After his death the Veterans' Mit- reau seems to have found out that he I had a claim pending, and last night I received this telegram: Complete application for compensa tion of Herman Davis, deceased, go ing forward immediately to central of fice,' Washington, where all death claims are handled. The war ended in 1918, and accord ing to General Pershing's designation of tlrae who were most entitled to be regarded as heroes Herman Davis' name appears fifth on a list of a hun dred. He got no recognition by rea son of any outside Influence. As I said, he was compelled to quit school when lust a chM and had scarcely enough education to enable him to read He only knew that he owed his service to bis country, and he offered his Ilfo freely,-received 11 declare tions, and died a pauper, and the bu reau created by the Congress to look after the wants of wounded veterans now says It is forwarding hU complete record here to Washington, since he is dead. I had in mind merely to call atten tion to what seemed to be the policy of the administration, without criti cism of the Individual, by citing an other act which took place on the very day this man died. I shall omit the name of the officer, because he Is not responsible, but the day that Herman Davis died a pauper the War Depart ment was busy here in Washington bestowing a distinguished service medal upon an officer who hnd com manded a rest area during the war, who had never heard a hostile Bitot fired, had never seen an enemy with a weapon In his hand. He was being decorated because ho so "intelligently, patriotically and courageously" com ' manded a post some 300 miles from the firing line. In fact, you cannot take up a paper now without reading of some officer who served tho coun try patriotically and courageously here In Washington in a swivel chair being docoratod for his horolc dovo tlon to duty. Kecently I noticed the War Depart ment had decorated a member of a draft board because he put everybody Into the Army but himself, and I call attention to this fact merely to con trast It with tho treatment of the men who bore the brunt of battlo at the front and who are permitted to die paqpers, with their wrongs unre dressed. Even now a hill is pending to rnlse other officers to high rank who saw no 1 actual flold service, sn much greater sooms it to the department to decorato nononmbntant officers than reward mon who sacrificed their fu ture, their health, and family Ilfo in a patriotic devotion to country.

The name Kaxciti was adopted more because of its pres ent popularity than because of the Ideals sponsored by the Italian or ganization. But certain perrons who have suf fered at the hands of a government which has pressed down rather harshly on property owners during the past ten years, grnxped at the movement us a safe and effective means to protest against alleged in justice. It offered an opportunity for the landed classes to light certain radical reform laws that have been Imposed on them during the past few yeurs. Without becoming actual revolutionists against central author ity, they were abl through the new society to organize their interests with a view to gaining sufficient strength ultimately to make demands on the Mexico City government. The Jalapa society was Immedia tely copied in Tampico. and .Monte rey. Mexico City, Puebla. Guadala jara. Merida, Oaxaca and Mazatlan followed suit. Within a few weeks a temporary national Fascist! orga nization was perfected with Gustavo S"in7 d" Pf-ilia. a young engineer, as provisional chairman. Officers were rstablmhed here and within a few days 22 traveling representatives were sent to scattered parts Of the republic to vpread the- propaganda of protest against bo!hevUm and radical law-malcir.g. The second week in January was fixed as the time for a national convention at which time the Jalapa and Tampico societies, which have been operating independently, will Join the larger organization. With more than 100. OuO members already enrolled it is suited that by June next there will 1 at least 1.000.000 Fascist! in Mexico. Meanwhile officials at the national palace here were undergoing a change of attitude toward the move ment. President Obregon at first scoffed at the idea and dismissed it as a local society of no Importance. He declined to consider it as a movement similar in any respect to the Italian Faacisti. Indicative, however, of the fact that high officials now see a threat in the impetus gained by the society, is a recent declaration decla ration by Adolfo de la Huerta, sec retary of the treasury, who described the Mexican Fascisli as an "exotic plant that cannot flourish in this re public." He ridiculed ita importance and expresKed the hope that the Mex ican proletariat would not "commit suicide" by adopting It. And in de precating the movement lie did what its supporters desired recognized it as a factor to be considered in the political future.
