said they would not be surprised If
It were true. They were convinced
of the truth of the report that Villa
was badly wounded prior to the
fight at Guerrero and It was be-
lieved that his escape was now high-
ly improbable.
FUNSTON 18 OPTIMISTIC.
Jt Is Possible That Villa Has Already
Rcen Captured.
f
Ban Antonio, Tex., April 1.—Ab-
sence of news from the district about
iGuerrero did not diminish the belief
at Generak Funston'8 headquarters
that General Pershing was driving
the Bcattered and defeated bands of
iTllla'a lorce from the hills and trails
In that part of Chihuahua and that
possibly Villa himself had been cap-
tured. Brief messages told of the
continuation of the chase, by Colonel
Dodd's cavalry that so effectually
whipped 600 Mexicans at Guerrero
(Wednesday, and supporting forces
that General Pershing had sent for-
ward, but the results of the opera-
tions of Thursday, Friday and today
jrere unknown at headquarters.
A written report from General Per-
shing sent two days before the fight
at Guerrero was received, but this
dealt only with details of the troop
dispositions since crossing the border,
and the difficulties he had encounter-
ed in getting his supplies and In
maintaining communication. He re-
ported that the engineering forces
were working on the road north of
Can as Grandee and On that part ex-
tending southward towards Naml-
quipa. The roads south of Casas
Grandee were reported In better con-
dition than those to the north. He
•Iso called attention to the fact that
the aeroplanes are equipped with en-
gines of too low power.

from Chihuahua tfiat Villa had been

south pt Guerrejro, w$re unconfirmed

dinpositlpn to belittle It. Both Gen-
—. jfunston and his staff officers
El Paso, Tex., April 1.—It was in
the raid on Guerrero last Monday
that Villa was wounded, being shot
In the knee, accotJ'ng to a message
rcreived totljy by General Gavira at
Jufrez from General Gutierrez, tele-
graphing from Chihuahua City.
Gavira had asked for further Infor-
mation about Colonel Dodd's battle.
Gutierrez explained that the wires
were working badly on the southern
loop and he had only the bare de-
tails of what had betn accomplished
by the Amerlcars.
Telegrams received from Chihua-
hua City said that a freight and
passenger train on tho Northwestern
railroad had been wrecked some
weeks ago between Minaca and Chi-
huahua City. Twenty-seven Mexi-
cans Including women and children
were killed. One American was on
board but escaped uninjured.

paymaster of the El Potost Mining
company had been robbed by bandits

ter go after taking seven hundred

Bandits Iio«e Sixty Men in Battle
With Dodd's Troopers.
Washington April 1.—A report from
General Pershing reaching the war
department late tonight said sixty of
Villa's followers had been killed In
the fight Wednesday with Colonel
Dodd's cavalry. Previous reports had
placed the killed at about thirty. Tho
dispatch mado no mention of Ameri-
can casualties and said the number
of Villa wounded was unknown.
General Pershing's dispatch for-
warded by General Funston was
dated yesterday and said "tho col-
umn" was breaking up into small de-
tachments which were spreading out
in various directions. Department
officials thought the reference was
to tho American troops and took .the
announcement to mean they probably
were convinced that Villa still was
in the neighborhood of Guerrero and
were taking quick steps to throw a
net about him.
General Colics Promoted.
Douglas, APlz., April 1.—Gen. P.
Ellas Calics, military governor of So-
nora, was to leave Agua Prleta this
afternoon for Empalme, near Guay-
snas, where he will establish his
headquarters as military commander
of Sonora. IIo has been promoted to
be general of brigade and, tempor-
arily at least, will be supreme both
in military and civil affairs of the
state. All of the troops stationed
in the Yaqul river valley will be un-
der his immediate command.
In making this announcement. Con-
sul Ives G. Lelevler said Gen. M. M.
Dleguez has returned to Jalisco to
resume his position as military gov-
ernor of that state and Gen. F. R.
Serrano has been recalled to Quere-
taro to become chief of staff to Gen-
eral Alvaro Obregon.
General Calles has previously had
command of 4,000 men. His new
rank places him 1n command of ap-
proximately 20,000 regulars and
militia.
Mexican Bandits Defeated.
Queretaro, April 1.—General Ja-
cinto Trevlno has telegraphed to Gen-
eral Obregon, minister of war, that
he defeated the Vlllista general, Ellas
Perez, in the Laguna district. He re-
ported tho execution of sixteen pris-
oners who were captured and said he
had prevented tho cutting of tho
Coahuila and Pacific railway.
General Arevlno has established
permanent headquarters at Torreon,
from which point he Is directing the
columns which are pursuing the ban-
dits,
Perplexing Plurals.
Little Elsie had just reached the
grade In school where tho study of
grammar is a part of the day's work.
Among other things she was greatly
interested in the singular and plural
form of words. She knitted her little
brow and looked puzzled when she
asked her mother:
"Is the plural of bird burden?"
"Why, dear, how could you think
that?" the mother answered.
"Well," explained the child, "father
said Willie Blank was a bird, and I
heard you say that he and his broth-
ers and sisters were such a burden
to their mother."—Exchange.
PLUNGE INTO WAR?
SENTIMENT GROWING IN FAVOR
OF LITTLE NATION CASTING
HER LOT WITH AI .LIES.
THE HAGUE, April 1.—< Via Lon-
don)—The widespread anxiety which
has suddenly arisen respecting the
ability of Holland to keep long out of
the war is not due to the feeling
aroused by the sinking of the Dutch
steamer Tubantla, according to the
Nieuwe Courant.
"Its cause," says the paper, "lies in
the general war situation which, ac-
cording to Information received, is
now entering or Is about to enter a
phase which gives our country cause
for very special vigilance. We do not
know whether what our government
apparently fears—but concerning the
character of which we could obtain no
exact information—will come to pass
within a week or a month or whether
the sltbatlon generally will remain
merely one of a more critical char-
acter for our country. We venture
only the conjecture that a change In
the situation which is now considered
possible, may be the outcome of the
allies' conference that closed Wednes-
day at Paris.
"We understand thtt In yesterday's
cabinet council matters were discussed
which led to the consultation of the
government with the highest military
authorities and concerned the advisa-
bility of holding a secret session for
the second chamber."
Germany Not Abu-mcd.
Berlin, April 1.— (Via Copenhagen
and London)—The German newspa-
pers give much space to reports con-
cerning an alleged ultimatum by the
entente allies to Holland and the
sharpening by the latter of her mobi-
lization measures.
"The press generally points out,
however, that all the reports appar-
ently are based on mere rumors and
essert that Germany has no cause to
view the situation with the slightest
uneasiness whether the rumors are
true or not."

have been at least 140,000. More
than 600,000 men are engaged on the
Russian side, according to Berlin,
and the expenditure of ammunition
by the attacking forces is- declared to
have been on an unprecedented scale
for the eastern front.
The air raids of Friday night over
the English east counties were ap-
parently on the most extensive scale
yet attempted by thfi German Zep-
pelin fleet. They resulted, accord-
ing to the official British reports, in
the killing of twenty-eight persons
and injury of forty-four, while unof-
ficially it is declared that the air-
ships flew at such a height that they
were unable to select their targets
with accuracy and many of the bombs
dropped appeared to have been cast
off indiscriminately.
German Airship Captured.
The sensational feature of the raid
was the falling of a damaged Zep-
pelin, the L-15, In the Thames estu-
ary, where it was captured by British
patrol boats, its crew surrendering.
The airship sank, however, while an
attempt was being made to tow her in.
The dirigible was hit near the tail
by gunfire while It was over the east-
ern counties.
The British premier, Herbert II.
Asquith, was received today by Pope
Benedict with whom the British
statesman talked in private for a
half hour.
Seemingly the situation In Holland
with reference to the war is ap-
proaching a crisis. Notwithstanding
denials that the Dutch government
has withdrawn the furlough of sol-
diers and had requisitioned trains,
an unofficial report from The Hague
says that the ministers of state have
held an extraordinary council. A
leading Dutch newspaper declares
that the anxiety In Holland Is not
due to the Tubantia affair but to
some prospective action growing out
of the recent Paris conference of the
entente allies.
Seventeen hnwounded and several
wounded prisoners were taken by a
British patrol ship from the Zeppe-
lin L-16 which was hit by shell fire
in a raid on England and fell in the
Thames estuary. The survivors said
that a Junior officer had been left on
the airship to blow her up if neces-
sary. The Zeppelin sank while being
towed to port after the crew was
rescued.
courage and your deep devotion to
the Czar and your warm love for
your native country and am thereby
convinced you will fulfill your sacred
duty by freeing your brothers from
the yoke. God aid us in our sacred
endeavors. (Signed)
" 'EWERT, Adjutant General.*
"To any one who knows the cir-
cumstances it Is certainly astound-
ing that such en undertaking should
have been commenced at such a time
of the year, seeing that its accom-
plishment presented such critical dif-
ficulties from one day to another,
owing to the thawing of the snow.
The choice of the time decided upon
was due much less to the will of the
Russian commander than to the en-
forced requirements of a needy ally.
If the present cessation of attacks is
attributed by Russia officially to the
sudden change in the weather that is
only a half truth.
"The losses suffered in the Bcvere
repulse have been calculated care-
fully and are estimated at 140,000.
The enemy would be more correct if
it said the great offensive up to now
was not only stifled in the swamps,
but in swamps And blood.
"Balkan theater: There Is nothing
to report."
German Attack Cheeked.
Paris, April 1.—The Germans con-
tinued their Intense bombardment of
the French positions between Avo-
court and Malancourt today. A heavy
bombardment also was carried out
east of the Meuse, followed by a Ger-
man attack between Douauinont an 1
Vaux, which, according to the com-
munication of the French war of-
fice, was completely checked.
The statement -reads:
"In Belgium our artillery bom-
barded the enemy cantonments at
Langemarck, northeast of Vpres.
"In the Argonne, our batteries were
active against the German organiza-
tions north of Laharar.ee and LaliHe
Morte and against the enemy camps
in the northern part of the Cheppy
wood.
"West of the Mcuee, the bombard-
ment has been intense against our
positions between Avocotpt and
Malancourt.
"East of the Meuse a quite violent
bombardment was followed by a
German nttack on the ravine between
Fort Douaumont and the village of
Vaux. The attack was completely
stopped by our curtain of fire.
"In the Woevre the artillery ac-
tivity has been less marked. On the
rest of the front there is nothing to
report."
The Belgian official communica-
tion reads:
"Artillery action on both sides have
occurred In the Pervyse and Ost-
kerke districts and south of Dix-
mude."
Berlnl Version of Eastern Situation.
Berlin, April 1.—(Via London.)—
"Eastern front! It appears that
tho Russian storming attacks direct-
ed against the very wide sector of
the army group of Field Marshal Von
Hlndenburg and carried out with
thirty divisions totalling more than
600,000 men and with an unprece-
dented amount of munitions such as
never before has been used on the
eastern front and which lasted from
March 18 to March 18, now have
ceased.
"Thanks to the bravery and Stub-
born resistance of our troops the
enemy achieved no success whatever.
"The great object which it was In-
tended should be attained by this
attack is apparent from the follow-
ing order Issued by the high com-
mand, March IT:
"Russians on the western front:
For the past six months, greatly
weakened with only a small number
of arms and ammunition, you have
held up the advance of the enemy
and after having held him back In
the vioinlty of a break In the line
near Molodechna you took up your
present position.
, " 'His majesty and the country now
await from yon another heroic deed—
the ejection of the enemy from with-
in the frontier of the country.
When tomorrow you undertake this
glorious task 1 have faith ta your

Constantinople, April 1.— (via Cop-
enhagen and London)—The following
official statement has been issued by
the Turkish war office:
"Irak front: There has been no
change In the Tigris region.. In the
Euphrates region one of our detach-
ments attacked an enemy detachment
east of Maxtne and southward with
losses. At the same time our volun-
teers surprised the camp of the de-
tachment and took much booty.
"Causasus front: Our troops have
advanced In the Tchoruk valley and
repulsed attacks of hostile Teconnolt-
ering detachments. On the rest of the
front there have been no important
operations.
"Dardanelles: An enemy cruiser
opened an ineffective fire and then
retired. Three aeroplanes coming
from Imbros were driven off by the
effective fire of our batteries at Yen-
ikul."
Austrian War Bulletin.
Berlin, April 1.— (By wireless to
Sayvllle)—The official Austrian state-
ment today follows:
"Russian front: Near Olika, Aus-
tro-Hungarian detachments captured
an advanced position of the enemy.
Attempts by the enemy to advance
southeast of Sienkowo were frus-
trated. ,
"Italian front: There were more or
less spirited artillery duels near the
Tolmino bridgehead in the Fella sec-
tor and on the Dolomites front. Ital-
ian attacks on the sector between
Great Pal and Small I'al and near
Schluderback, were repulsed.''
Royal Murder Foreseen.
Eleanor Calhoun was an American
actress who went to London when
James Russell Lowell wns United
States ambassador. In 1903 she be-
cam by marriage the Balkan Princess
Lazarovich Hrebelianovlch. Recently
she has written a book which bears
the title "Pleasures and Palaces."
The book contains the strange
story of a spiritualistic seance held
by an English woman, which was
attended by W. T. Stead, who after-
ward went down on the Titanic; the
princess and her husband and some
others. The prince handed to the
medium some sealed envelopes. She
selected one, sat for a moment press-
ing Jt In her hand, and said: "T/ils
Is from a person of Importance-a
king."
Mr. Stead then asked her to de-
scribe him. She gave a very good
description of King Alexander of
Serbia, though she could not tell his
nam'o or his country. Suddenly she
leaped up, her eyes tight shut, her
face white, and speaking os though
she were in the midst of a real scene,
she described the assassination of the
king and queen. Mr. Stead asked
what soldiers they were and of what
race, and she answered: "I don't
know. I never saw such people.
Their uniforms Tcscmble the Rus-
sians, but they are not Russians."
Then she uttered exclamations of
horror and said: "Ob, Mr. Stead,
let me not go on." \
Mr. Stead, says tho writer, urged
the seer, and she proceeded to de-
scribe the tragedy. This seance was
held in March, 1903, and tho mur-
ders did not occur until the follow-
ing June.
John Mitchell said, apropos of the
New Haven acquittals:
"Tho acquittal of these financiers
reminds me of a little story.
"A child said to its teacher:
" "Teacher, why Is it that these
talcs about peoplo who are severely
punished by tho law, they are al-
ways called poor sinners?'
" 'Because, my child,' the teacher
answered, 'the law never punishes
rich sinners.'" „» •

A Little
Fairy Story
Once upon a time,
there was a woman who
had everything she want-
ed.
Her smallest wish was
gratified.
She never knew the
meaning of disappoint-
ment.
She was very stylish,
discriminating and ac-
complished, ' hence was
very popular.
At the age of thirty she
looked like a girl of
eighteen summers.
She never worried.
When the unexpected
guest arrived.
She had the best to be
had.
She traded at T. K.
Callaway's.
And she was always
happy.
Stores become popular
through high quality
products and excellent

at it. Our popularity as
