P0RFIRI0 DIAZ
At the age of 85, Porfirio Din/., once
perennial dictator of Mexico and found
er of its greatness, lies dead in Paris,
an exile from the land which he re
deemed with blood—-the blood of oth
ers.
llis greatness and that which lie
forced on Mexico consisted mainly in
handing over its resources to foreign
interests principally American, for ex
ploitation, and with that exploitation
went the uxploitation of the Mexican
people. Hence the laudatory obituary
notices in some of the papers that re
present wliat we call predatory wealth.
it is perhaps not worth while disput
ing the “great man’’ theory in the case
of Diaz or pointing out that if he had
never lived other Mexicans would have
accomplished wluit he did, but admit
ting all llis alleged gn.ntm.ss, he also
did somethii\ more for Mexico, a work
that has not vet 1 een fiinished. lie
planted the seeds of discontent against
tlie old order in that country, and they
are now growing. lie left them also as
a legacy to the foreign interests to
whom he bequeathed the country, and
the budding and germinating of these
seeds they now designate as “anarchy’’
Put what it really means is that Diaz,
with all his greatness, could not make
Ins bequest to them secure.

Tulin Ili'ss, who was burned at the
stake at Constance, Germany, for his
political and religous belieis 500 years
ago today, received due honor in sev
eral ceremonies yesterday lrom the bo
hemian colony centered about Iiast 74th
street. The exercises were under tile
auspices of the Huss Memorial Church,
on Hast 74tii street near hirst avenue.
In the morning a pagent of ten floats,
representing scenes from the life of
Huss from his childhood to his martyr
dom, wound back and forth through
the streets between 71st and 78th streets
east of Third avenue. Six hundred
children marched with the floats. Among
them were two reproductions of the
spiked battle weapons used in the Huss
ite wars, which lollowcd Huss’ death.
These were laden with old bohemian
warriors carrying the old weapons em
ployed at that time.
The last float bore a memorial bell,
which at the close of the parade was
dedicated and raised to the Leliry of the
church, where it will ring to a special
memorial service for IIuss this morn
ing for the first time.
Yesterday afternoon an operetta cf
Bohemian folk songs, arnntigetl by Rev.
Vincent I’isek of the church, was given
by the children of the neighborhood in
the neighborhood house. Today the
special service and a mass meeting in
the evening will close the three-day ob
servation of the fifth centenary of IIuss’
martyrdom. The meeting will be
attended bv representatives of many
Slavic churches and societies, and for
mer Assistant District Attorney Frank
A TERROR
Recruiting is responsible for a good
story irom Carinartbenshire. One of tin*
latest accessions to Kitchener’s army is
a stalwart man 6 feet 2 inches in height
from tlie heart of the country, and on
joining lie expanded his chest with
pride and ejaculated, ’Wow tor the
Germans. ’ ’
The following day he received from
London a telegram: “Heartiest con
gratulations. ---Kitchem.r. '
This was duly shown round, but next
morning lirs pride was boundless on re
ceiving the royal message: “The Em
pire is proud of yon.---George. ”
It was not until the third day, when
he received a wire, “I-V.r heaven’s sake
keep neutral.---Wilhelm, ’’ that he re
alized that a waggish friend had been
pulling his leg.-- -Yit bits.
