Divorce Church From State Is
Cry Heard in Wales.
End Of Long Battle Seen-Dlsestab-
llshment Of Church Of England Has
Become a Political Issue In
Great Britain.

London.-For twenty-seyen years
the Welsh people have been fighting
for religious equality and now, with
friends OF that movement In power
In England, 1t appears that the
Church OF England will be disestab-
lished and disendowed In Wales, ac-
cording To English exchanges. The
liberal party, headed by David Lloyd
George, Winston Churchill and j. j.
Asquith. has promised that the church
and state in Wales will be divorced.
Welsh disestablishment has assumed
more than a religious significance. 1t
is one of the most important political
questions before English political par.
ties. The English liberals and the
Welsh parliamentarians take the non
conformist view. The Church OF Eng
land adherents are aligned with the
unionist or conservative party.
With the established Church Of Eng
land the fight In Wales is rather In
the nature OF the final outpost contest
before the nonconformists assault the
connection between the church and
the state OF England AS long as
Wales has an established and en-
dowed church the opponents OF the es-
tablished church Of England probably
will not attempt TO lessen its power
in England. But with Wales free OF
religious Interference in state affairs,
that may come.
The viewpoint of the nonconformist
Is very succinctly stated by Lord Rem
del in a recent address: In setting
the church free. Wales will prove its
best friend" he said. for Wales will
thereby make the church more Chris
tian and more Welsh
A recent census shows that but one
fourth of the Welsh people hold TO the
established church. This is potent
argument Of the friends Of disestab-
lishment. David Lloyd-George, chan

Ell PASO, Texas, March 15.-Fol-
lowing the evacuation of Jiminez by
the Mexican federals without a fight,
General Inez Salazar today resumed
his march toward Torreon.
According to local federals, Salazar
will not be opposed until he reaches
the outskirts of Torreon, when the
Maderistas now numbering 1000, will
give battle. Orozco, short Of am

Two hundred and twenty-five Amer

EAGLE PASS, Texas, March 15.-
Three thousand Mexican rebels under
General Salazar are today at Jiminez,
half way between Chihuahua and
Torreon, the objective point of the
rebel advance.
General Orozco is expected to join
couple of days with his entire COM
mand and the march direct to the
beseiged city will then start
1t is evident that the United States
1 will have to exercise the greatest
vigilance in enforcing President
Taft's order forbidding the shipment
OF arms into Mexican territory, as
Orozco has indicated that he expects
| to receive arms and ammunition in
spite of any attempt that may be
made to close the ports of entry to
him. Texas state authorities believe
/ it will be necessary to patrol the en-
| tire border to prevent smuggling.
Along this section of the border the
present guard of militia would be in
adequate should the rebels try rush
I ing supplies across the border. The
district is alive with rebels on the
Mexican side and they have scores
OF sympathizers working in Texas.
| The proclamation issued by Gen
eral Orozco pronouncing death upon
] the heads of Madero, his brothers and
uncle as we'll as all federal officials,
should they be captured by the rebels,
has created the greatest enthusiasm
among the troops at Jiminez. With
the fall of Torreon. all are CRYING for

assist in compelling them to enter
the college Sept. 4.
The county assessors report does
not show any blind children of school

be some error in this, Mr. Briggs has
been making inquiries over the coun-
ty to locate such should there be any.
So far his search has been without
success.
