An American Who Has Been Captured
in Mexico

San Diego, Cal. Feb. %. One of the
two insurgent spies captured Tuesday
by Mexican federals and held at Tia
Juana, Mexico, is Harry G. Dell, an
American The other is a Mexican who
claims to be an American citizen. Dell
sent yesterday an appeal to influential
friends in California to save him from
immediate execution.
From Tia Juana yesterday came word
that drumhead court martial and
speedy execution of the two men was
the plan of the Mexican authorities.
Dell claims he went to Tia Juana to
stay over night after his automobile had
broken down and denies any connection
with the rebels. He is sal dto have been
sergeant in the United States infan.
try in the Philippines. The identity of
the other prisoner has not been revealed.
Dell is % years old He says his wife
lives in New York City.
The commander OF the United States
troops on duty at the border has is-
sued warning to all Americans to keep
away from Tia Juana.
An American member of the insur
gent band, said to be W. r. Clark of
Cincinnati, was seriously wounded Tues
day night while inspecting an outpost
Of the rebel camp.
General Berthold says the wounded
man accidentally shot himself while
climbing over a wire fence.
Berthold bitterly denounced the Amer
lean Red Cross yesterday, saying it had
refused to send surgeon to attend
Clark.

Professor Nash Has His Say About Heir.

the American quarters in foreign cities,
the game OF football as played in this
country, and politics, all came in for. Sc,
we're criticism at the hands OF Professor
Henry S. Nash OF the Episcopal Theo-
logical seminary Of Cambridge, Mass,
in the course of an address delivered at
the annual meeting Of the Maine Society
Of the Sons Of American Revolution yes
terday.
The marriage of American girls TO
titled Europeans was characterized as
brutal barter and disgraceful to both
sides" while American colonies abroad
the speaker declared to be "the most
rotten in the world"
Football, Professor Nash insisted. is
dishonest. "Rule makers" be said. get
together in New York and formulate
rules and then return to their colleges
and teach how to violate them" Groton
schoolboys visit Harvard, he said, and
study the game, then return as coaches
and corrupt the game

WORLD PEACE ADVOCATE
That Is What George Washington Was
Called.

Buffalo, NJ Y, Feb. 23 Dean Henry
Wade Rogers OF the Yale law school was
the guest of honor last night at the
Washington day celebration and dinner
Of the Saturn club. He spoke ON "The
Relation of the United States to the
Peace Movement" and declared that
Washington denounced the overgrown
military establishments, even of his own
day, as "Inauspicious to liberty which
are to be regarded as particularly hostile
to republican liberty" and said: My
first wish is to see this plague of war
vanished from the earth.'
But serious an evil as war was IN
Washington's day" continued Dean
Rogers, sit is far more serious one
in our day The destructive agencies,
developed by modern science for use in
war, have made war an infinitely more
heinous crime against humanity than it
was in the time of Washington"
In speaking of the large appropria-
tons made in the last ten years for
war by Congress, the dean said they had
been made because Congress had been
influenced by men with morbid hallu-
cnations who imagined that England,
Germany or Japan were making ready
to deyastate our coasts and perhaps cap.
ture our possessions"
The fortifcations of the Panama cam
al, he said was unnecessary and incon-
sistent with the naturalization of the
canal to which the nation is pledged and
inconsistent with our peace policy"

SMOKE WAS DENSE
In Fire Which Damaged a House in
Burlington.

Burlington, Feb. 23 The FIRE depart.
ment responded to an alarm rung in
from box "a yesterday afternoon shortly
before four o'clock for stubborn fire
in double house belonging to Mrs.
Fred Collision at the corner OF Munroe
and George streets and occupied by
Ralph Nardini and Charles II. Hooper.
The blaze was confined to the attic
and roof, and the only other damage
done was by water. 1t was all covered
by insurance.
When the FIRE was discovered, smoke
was ssusing in large quantities from
the attic windows as well as from parts
of the roof and when the firemen ar
rived it was almost impossible to enter
the building. Two streams of water
were quickly put on and with the aid of
the chemical, the fire was extingushed
in a little over an hour Chief Niles
was out of town and in his absence,
Second Assistant Chief George w. Burt
was in charge, First Assistant Chief
Stoekwell being i'll in bed.
The origin Of the fire is not known
but large amount OF rubbish stored
in the attic was in flames when the
iiremen arrived, A part OF the roof had
to be chopped into in order TO effective
" fight the blaze, but, aside from that,
little damage was done to the house.
Water was used as sparingly as possible
and the household effects of the Nardinis
were not much damaged. The property
of the H0opers was, however, drenched,
as it was over their apartment that
the FIRE was brisk.
