tion In Mexico-Body Is to Re-
port Soon.

appointed to investigate relations
with Mexico has completed it's work

ter Of the report. they will submit 20
the senate committee on foreign re-
lations, Senator Smith says 1t will
embody evidence showing that since
beginning of the Madero revolution,
large quantities of munitions Of war
have been shipped into Mexico across
the American border.
The report, 1t Is believed, will hold
that the evidence adduced points to
the necessity for the United States
to intervene in Mexico in order that
Americans and American interests re-
ceive proper protection.
1t is said the evidence proves con-
clusively that no American money
was used in financing the Orozco re-
bellion, but tends to establish the
claim that American funds were used
to finance the Madero revolution.

DEPICTS WOMAN AS HEROINE
Newspaper of 1885 Gives story OF m's'
Martin, Who Was on Saratoga
Battlefield.

Tn view of the fact tnaC some TO-
cent research that has been given
magazine and newspaper publicity mas
tended to show that all tho fighters OF
the American revolutionary war were
not as patriotic or as brave as history
has set them down, clipping In the
possession of G. L. Miller, Prlncetoh
citizen, Is of interest just now In that
it not only shows concluslvely that
there were some" brave and intrepid
men In the American ranks, out II
brings out what Is rare In history
the recital of woman's valor on the
field of battle in that momentous Pc
Rod. It also deals Maj. Gen. Horatlo
Gates. American officer, hot shot on
the bravery displayed by him at the
battle of Saratoga.
The clipping Ia from an Original
copy Of the Troy IN. Y) WING OF NO
vember, 1856, and Is self-explanatory,
since it's words come from the lips or
one who saw and participated in the
noted conflict at Saratoga he says
Mrs. Margaret Martin, who is stop
ming at the residence OF her grandson
in this city, is SO years of age. she
is one Of the few remarkable women
of the revolution who took part In
the memorable occurrences OF the
struggle for American independence.
Her husband, Gilbert Martin, was
surgeon in the army of the American
general, Gates, and was engaged In
the battle at Saratoga.
Mrs. Martin, then a very young
woman, was on the field during both
struggles constituting this battle, ana
terminating the defeat Of the SPLEEN
did army which Burgoyne had trans
ported with such immense labor and
expense from Canada, confidently an
ticipating that he would be able with
1t to divide the army of the patriots
and secure Sir Henry Clinton in his
possession Of the southern line Of de-
lenses.
Mrs Martin represents the strug-
gle as most terrific. She says that
toward evening. when Purgoyne, mad
dened by the consciousness that all
his splendid schemes were about to be
defeated, directed his whole reserve
and cavalry force upon the feeble
army of the patriots, the contestants
stood within half musket range Of each
other and poured in their deadly vol
legs, while whole files on either side
fell In their tracks, and still neither
gave one inch.
Toward evening DR.. Martin was
wounded In the shoulder, and while
his wife was in the act Of afixing a
bandage she herself was wounded In
the hand. Says she: Gilbert sprang
UP like chaffed lion. Peggy" said
he, "Tll go and teach those cowardly
fellows better manners than to shoot
a woman" And / saw him no more
till the fight was over
"Of such material were the men and
women of the revolution. We can read.
lily imagine that the field of Saratoga
was strange place for those Of the
softer sex. Mrs. Martin, however.
has evidently been a woman of I'M
common energy of character. Her
frame still exhibits evidences of
strength, and her eyes sparkle as she
recounts the deeds of that glorious
day or speaks of that cowardly Gates,
who stayed safe and sound all day In
his tent, and cared not for the men
who were falling like sheaves In the
harvest"
