sand Soldiers and Citizens, Expect
to Reach United States Safely.
Juarez, Dec. 4.-Confident that the
seven federal generals who evacuated
Chihuahua City with their troops in.
tend to seek refuge in the United
States and thus be beyond danger of
being taken prisoners by the rebels,
General Francisco Villa sent more
rebels to attempt to intercept them.
The generals, led by General Sal
vadore Mercado, whose desertion OF
chihuahua and whose statements that
he had no money to pay his troops
are regarded as virtual breakdown
of the Huerta dictatorship so far as
the north of Mexico is concerned are
headed for Ojinaga, on the border. 1t
is thought they will cross the river at
Preside.
At Presidio they are expected to be
arrested by the United States mill
tary authorities, taken to Maria and
thence to San Antonio. Their arrest
on crossing the river would follow as
matter of course, under a ruling of
Secretary of War Garrison
With the generals are many sub
ordinate officers, about 1000 federal
regular soldiers, and more than 1000
people of the wealthier class of Chi
huahua, who took flight rather than
face an attack by the rebels.
Villa had little hope that his SOL
diers would be able to overtake the
federals, who left Chihuahua several
days before the fact of their flight be-
came known

A BEGINNING.

The Borland Bill. referred to last
week. providing for the trans-conti-
mental highway, including the National
Pike, appropriates twenty million five
hundred thousand dollars.
Of this sum a half million will be
available this year, five millions in 1914,
and fifteen millions in 1915.
Large as these figures seem to be,
they are small compared with the hun
dred millions that will be set apart this
year for the promotion of water trans
portation.
And again the wonder arises what
have the farmers and country people
generally been doing in the way of get
ting their majority share OF the trans
portation.fund?
Nothing.
On the other hand, the ship lines,
boat lines and United States Navy have
been busy all the time. and each year
are repaid in appropriations of hundreds
of millions-money, too, for the most
part drawn from the earnings of the
country people.
The Borland bill. small as are its pro-
visions comparatively, is welcome,
though. long, long belated. Frostburg

Prospects that the largest crowd that
ever gathered for an inauguration
will witness the ceremonies incident to
the induction into office of President
elect Wilson were apparent at the
Booster Day" meeting of the inaugural
committee today.
According to figures made public, q,
600 National Guardsmen and members
OF other organizations have definitely
arranged to attend the Inauguration.
These figures. however, indicate only
portion of the big host that is making
arrangements to visit the capital.
Following are among the organiza-
tons which applied today for positions
in the inaugural parade: st. Johns
Military Academy of New York; Mas
sachusetts Guardsmen, 8. 900; New York
National Guard, 1000; Virginia National
Guard, 1000; Georgia National Guard,
1000; New Jersey National Guard, A.
500; Emmett Guards, Worcester, Mass;
Purdue University Cadets, 100; Boy
Scouts of the United States, 1000;
Tammany Hall of New York, 1,5O0;
Franklin County Democratic Club of
OHIO, 200; Nose Green Club, Louisville,
$50, Spalding Greys, of Griffin, Ca, SIS.
In addition, several hundred members
of the Cook county (Chicage) Demo-
cratic organization will be here. Mayor
Carter Harrison of Chicago and Gov
ernor Dunno will accompany them.
Plans are now complete for the stand
from which the new President and his
family will review the parade. The
stand, directly in front of the White
House, will be replica of the Monticello
home of Thomas Jefferson. A small
forest of cedar trees will surround the
place and in the branches will be
hundreds of electric lights. Calcium
lights from across the way will be
thrown on the President to show him to
the crowds in Lafayette Square.
There is apprehension here lest DR..

The PEOPLES FORUM.
The Bible Students May Be At The
Park
To the Editor of The Republican:

To the Editor of The Republican:
| have noticed it our county papers
this week statement to the effect that
the international Bible Students Asso-
citation had decided not to hold their
convention at Mt Lake Park owing to
the fact that certain restrictions were
imposed in the event OF their coming,
which would hinder them from distribut-
ing or selling any literature of any kind,
and that therefore all negotiations for
the convention were broken off.
Please state through the columns of
your paper that no restriction of any
kind were placed upon the Bible Stu
dents. The writer and others regret
very much that those responsible for
the above statement have unwittingly
wholly misrepresented the Park officials
in this matter, for they have been liberal
to the last degree.
For the information of the public,
am pleased to state that negotiations
are still pending. with the chances
favorable of having the convention
come to Mt Lake Park.
Very truly yours,
WILLIAM WEBER.
