HESITATES TO SEND TROOPS

to a message from Gov. Richard f..
Sloan of Arizona, asking protection for
citizens of Douglas from the fire of
fedcrals and insurgents, that he was
Ioath to e%ndanger Americans in Mexico
by taking so radical a step as sending
American troops across the border to
prevent further fighting.
The president, in his telegram, said
the situation might Justify him in order
ing troops to cross the border and at
tempt to stop the fighting or to fire
upon both contestants from the Ameri.
can side. He hesitated to take such "a
step, however, because of the possibility
of resistance and greater bloodshcd and
the danger of having his motives mis-.

Crippled by tuberculosis.

According to a recent report by DIR.
Conrad Biesalski of Berlin, there are
5000 cripples in the German empire
u of a population Of 60, 500, 700. Over
$4,000 of the cripples are in nee of
proper treatment. Doctor Biesalski
states that in Is per cent. of the Grip
pies examined, their deformity was
due to tuberculosis of the bones and
joints, and that there were 10000 such
children in great need of medical
treatment. He advocates the estab-
Iishment of seaside sanatoria for this
latter class OF cripples.

Bird JekyII and HYDE.

The catbird is our northern mock
ing bird. When love attunes it's voice,
it can MARBLE as sweetly as the night
ingale. You must catch it in one of
it's melting moods if you would know
the charm of it's liquid notes. 1t is
not at all beautiful-no more is the
hooking bird-only a gray-brown,
perky, restless thing, of lesser size
than the robin, with the soul of song
in it.
The wonder of the catbird lies, of
course, in this, it's dual nature. At one
time it hops about ~screeching com
plants against the circumambient air;
at another there throbs out from it's
delicate throat the essence of a divine
Observation-Disclosures Press.

Parents and chlIdren's Faults.

Parents ought to c~ollaborate with
teachers in helping to develop the
best in their children, and conse
quently to eliminate the worst. In
stead Of this view of the matter we
(says Ella Wheeler Wilcox find par
ents taking a stand against the
teacher who tries to talk of the faults
of their children and discuss a rem
edy, and all the work which the teach
er has hoped to do in character build
ing falls to the ground under the
lifted hammer of the unwise and
belligerent parent, who insists that
my child" must be without faults,
and that the teacher who sees faults
is an enemy. not a friend. 1t is sell
dom, indeed, that a man or a woman
occupying the position of a teacher is
prejudiced or has personal OIL selfish
motives for criticising a child.

MEXICAN LOSS 200
AT AQUA PRlETA
NO HEED PAID WARNING NOT TO
FIRE ACROSS BORDER.
,nsurIectos in Trenches Pick Off Men
Who Mar Federal Machine Guns.-Be-
lieve Losses viii Be Heavy.

Aqua Prieta, Mexico.-(Via Douglass
Ariz. From the Associated Press Cor
respondent III the Field.)-The most I'M
portant battle of the Mexican revolu-
ton was fought here between 1000 fed
erals under command OF Lieut.-COl.
Diaz and 1000 rebels under command
of Balsario Garcia, and resulted in the
repulse of the federaIs.
AT nightfalI two federal machine guns
were in possession OF the rebels and the
federals had sustained "A loss estimated
by the rebels at least 200 killed and
wounded. The rebels gave their own
loss at twenty.
From the beginning of the battle; re-
gardless of the warning given by the
United States government to the lead
ers of both forces, a rain of bullets
poured into the American town of Doug
lass, and when the day was over it was
found that seven nOn-combatants, resi-
dents Of that city, had been wounded. 1t
was a day of terror in Douglas.
The insurrectOs directed their fire at
the crews manning the machine guns.
But the fire of the federals was so fierce
that it forced the rebels back to their
second line of entertainments. The fed.
erals advanced slowly. AS they came
nearer, the fire of the rebels became
more effective.
Leaving the protection of their breast
works they moved out into the open,
continuing to concentrate the fire upOn
the machine guns. The federals, finding
the rebel defense, after three hours
fighting, too strong to enable them to
carry the trenches, began to retreat.
Presently the machine guns were 81
fenced. SharpsnOOters had made it i'm.
possible longer to man them.
AT II o'clock the repulsed federals
had reformed and again advanced to
gain the boundary line, masking their
movement with heavy rifle fire. The
machine guns were silent. The rebels,
encouraged by their early success, TO-
turne the fire eagerly. The interval
hal been employed by the rebels i'll
rigging new trenches.
The advance guard of the federals in
this attack consisted of fifty cavalry
men and 800 infantry. Behind them
was a supporting party that kept und2:
cover Of trees and bushes. The fed
erals reserved their fire, but an UNI
C"asing stream of bullets poured from
the trenches. These striking the dry
carth, made it appear as though a dust
storm was raging and for a time served
to obscure a view of the conflict.
The advancing federals again found
the strength and determination of the
&nsurre"tos too great for them. They
fell back, but in good order, firing IS
they retired, and left the field and their
two machine guns III the possession OF
the enemy.
