the previous order OF Francisco
Madcro for the trekkins of the insur-
recto forces southwark from. the bor-
der and ON toward the capital.
The news of the withdrawal of the
insurrectionnry forces from n position
SO close to the American towns nn to
constitute constant source OF Hfric-
ton and menace to the good feeling
here with relief, aud the later an
nouncement from Mexico of the Presi-
dents self-cFacement TO effect pence
In hts troubled country WINS In line
with the Washington MISUNDERSTANDING
hope for pence and Mexican Ambassn-
dor Znmacona's recent prediction that
peace soon would be restored.
When President Taft was unofficially
advised of the succession of events In
Mexico he had no comment to make
public.
Jose Vasconcelos, DR.. Gomezs as
sistant, who took the place of Gomez
as diplomatic agent here when the
latter left to join Madero. tonight
telegraphed to the editor of Ell Pals, at
Mexico City:
II appeal to the patriotism of your
newspaper to deny rumors of American
intervention, as up TO the present time
no such danger exists. American anti
foreign demonstration would be highly
improper and unJustifiablc."
Mexico No Exception.
In connection with stories of possible
Invasion Of Mexican. soil. Brigadier-
General william w. Wotherspoon.h head
Of the War College, explained that 1t
was the business of the War College
along lines similar to the work OF a
naval board OF strategy--to plan cam
paigns in time of peace as we'll as in
war. and that from time to time prac-
tically every country on the globe Is
selected as the scene for Hypothetical
military operations Mexico was no
exception to the general, rule, SO far
as this strategic planning Is concerned.
Secretary General Gonzales Cara, OF
the insurrecto party, In speaking Of
General Madero's orders directing the
withdrawal OF the insurrectos from the
international line, declared that his
action was in conformance with the
American governments demand upon
the Mexican government that Ameri :
can border towns must not be- endnn-
gered BY Mexican battles.
The chief, obstacle to peace has now
been removed. and believe, quiet Will
soon be restored In my country, said
Mr.. Yasconcelos tonight.

"In my Judgment. there is no limit

the grocer must be alive and do his

adopts some means of telling me? OF
course know that he handles sugar.
coffee. butter, etc, but there are many
other things on his shelves which
sometimes want. but do not always

THE PHALANX.
It's Formation In the Military Methods
Of Ancient Greece.

Its Formation In the Military Methods
Of Ancient Greece.
A phalanx in the military affairs Of
Greece was square battalion or body
of soldiers formed in ranks and files
compact and deep. with their shields
Joined and pixies crossing each other so
as to render 1t almost impossible to
break it. At first the phalanx consisted
of 1000 men, but this number was aft.
rrward doubled by Philip Of Macedon.
and the double phalanx is hence often
called the Macedonian phalanx. Polyb-
ius describes 1t thus:
ut was square Of pikemen. con.
sisting Of 1G in flank and 500 in front.
The soldiers stood so close together
that the pixies Of the fifth rank extend
ed three feet beyond the front. The
rest. whose pixies were not serviceable
owing to their distance from the front.
couched them upon the shoulders OF
those who stood before them and. so
locking them together in file, pressed
forward to support and push on the
former rank. by which means the as
saut was rendered more violent and
irresistible" The spears Of those be-
hind also stopped the missiles OF the
enemy. Each mans pike was twenty
three feet long. The word phalanx Is
also used for any combination of peo-
pie distinguished for solidity and firm
ness. grand phaanx consisted OF
1884 men.

Blunders by Novelists.

Novelists, even of eminence, are
prone to make blunders. Sir Walter
Besant in "For Faith and Freedom"
wrote after the Eykins had settled In
Providence, "Barnaby soon grew tired
of this quiet life and went on board a
steamer bound for England. promising
that we should hear from him." This
was in 1856 or 1857, and the first
steamer from America to this country
did not reach Liverpool till July. 1919.
Wilkie Collins also made numerous
amazing blunders. In "The Duel In
Herne Wood" he makes the story open
with the receipt Of a telegram. and the
period is 1917. when twenty years had
to elapse before the first telegraphic
wire was laid. Three of the characters
also talk of taking the express train
to London" In defiance OF the fact that
the first railway to London was not
opened till 1893.
