OtNLRAL VILLA LOOMS UP.
Gen. Villa is now the dominating
character of the Mexican situation
and it appears that he enjoys a
much greater amount of respect
from the present administration
than any other Mexican leader. It
is true that he is spilling Mexican
blood in large quantities and from
the manner in which he is being
criticised by the stand-pat press of
this country he evidently must be
doing a good and progressive work
under the circumstances. The
stand-patters (the privilege seek
ing class) in this country are ask
ing the question, why President
Wilson and his cabinet think so
much better of Gen. Villa than of
Huerta. The answer is an easy
one. Gen. Villa is only executing
the villians of Mexico, whereas
Huerta executes the patriots. It
is becoming clear to every impar
tial observer of Mexican events
that Villa is fighting the battle of
the common people and he is chop
ping off the heads of the Mexican
feudal landlords and the eclesi
astical prelates because these
classes are the despots and de
stroyers of Mexican liberty and
Mexican prosperity. If the peace
parley at Buffalo continues much
longer without solving the problem,
Villa himself will solve it by over
throwing Huerta and all that Huer
ta stands for, as he is sweeping all
oefore him and city after city has
fallen before his victorious army.
Anna Carlson, a Kansas news
paper woman who has a national
reputation on account of her piq
uant philosophy, says the complaint
of married women that newspapers
take too many "digs” at them is
well founded. The married wo
men have troubles enough, says
Miss Garlson, without being abused
by the newspapers. But how about
the men?
Will Becker’s money and influ
ence save him? Convicted twice,
sentenced to death once and stand
ing in the shadow of the chair a
second time, the former lieutenant
of police now begins the real fight
for his life. The men who did the
actual murder are dead; the man
who engineered the plot, whose
master mind and hand guided the
machinery that ended the gam
bler, Rorenthal's, life, is still or
earth. _
Secretary Daniels’ order forbid
ding the use of wine's and liquors
in the Navy is to be enforced after
July 1. Strong pressure has been
brought to bear upon President
Wilson to have him countermand
the order, or at least make an ex
ception of the higher officers; but
the President declined to interfere
In case of war it is only the po
liticians and Big Guns who get all
the glory; the privates get shot and
half-shot and the people foot the
bills Keep this in mind when
you’re hollering for war.

Across the Mexican Border
Between the Battle
Lines of the
Federal and
Revolution™
Troops
The Land of
Broken Promises
By DANE COOLIDGE
Author of “The Fighting Fool,” "Hidden Water,” "The Teaican,” Etc.
WE feel that we are indeed fortunate in
being able to announce this truly remark
able story for serial publication in this paper.
It is a stirring story of the Mexican revolution in which this
portrayer of western character has painted vivid pictures of the
scenes of carnage in war-infested Mexico; the plight of
American refugees in border towns; the wantonness of both
the Mexican federal and revolutionary troops, and in fact gives
a graphic and truthful description of present conditions and all
through the medium of a powerful story. Mixed with the hair
raising adventures of tw'o Americans is a passionate love story.
It Is the Type of Story Every Reader Will Appreciate
