REBELS TAKE A
MEXICAN TOWN I?
Diaz Controls Wires and Re-
port Cannot be Con-
firmed

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
Ell PASO. Tex, Dec. s--The report
that the town of Gerrero has fallen
into the, hands of the Mexican rebels
is so persistent that it is generally
credited here. although no conhrma-
tion has been received. The Diaz
government still controls the tele-
graph line north from Chihuahua, and
1t is impossible to get any news of the
reported capture of the town owing to
the strict censorship.
Reports are that the departure of
the Chihuahua Peace Commission
from Gerrero was made the signal
for a concerted attack by all the
revolutionary forces in the vicinity,
the federal troops surrendering af-
ter a brief resistance. The muni-
cipal officials of Gerrero have been
deposed in favor of rebel officials, il
is said.
Mexican government officials de-
clare that the rebels in the greater
part Of Chihuahua, have offered to
retire from the field on condition that
President Diaz grant certain de-
mands, which Diaz is now con-
sidering.

MISS CARPENTER TELLS
WHERE TO FIND HAPPINESS

what is Happiness and How May
We Find It?" was the topic of Miss
Carpenters third and last ethical dis
cussion before the New-Century Club
yesterday afternoon. Ninety-nine per
cent. of human beings in all ages have
sought for happiness, said Miss Car
penter, and in this age of unrest it
seems to many people as il there We're
no such thing. The things gener-
ally named as sources Of happiness,
do not always bring happiness, she
said. Miss Carpenter found the
source of happiness in being our
selves, in never wanting to part with
our own individuality. She said il
consisted in rising above personal
qualification, and was born OF re-
pose. and the quiet accepting OF life
as IL is.
