the following day in a vacant house
in Sausalito. He had been robbed of

OJINAGA, Mex. Dec 1s.-The dis
patch of large quantities OF rations
across the border from Presidio to-
day. following the recent receipt Of
urgent messages from the war de-
partment at Mexico City, ordering
General Salvador Mercado to take the
offensive against the constitutional
lists, gave rise to a belief that the
federal troops which have been en-
trenched here since their retreat from
Chihuahua were preparing to attack
the Villa forces.
Mercado had previously stated that
unless the rebels attacked Ojinaga
soon the federa1s would leave for the
interior. He then announced that he
would try to recapture Chihuahua,
but 1t is believed here that should he
actually assume the aggressive he
would more likely move toward
Juarez. which is less strongly de
Tended than it was before villa took
a large part of his army to chihuahua
Some of the federal officers today
expressed the belief that the capture
of Juarez would be more advantage
Gus TO the federal cause than that OF
Chihuahua on account of the i'm
portance Of the former place as a port

When a woman who advocates for
her sex the right to vote, expresses an

her sex, to try to express an intelIi

a very foolish one, although 1t Is not
moro foolish than many Others which
nave emanated from the same source
Anna Shaw is rather given to express
ing foolish opinions. Judging from her
utterances, one is Obliged to believe
Anna Shaw doubtless "a has quite as
good a right to hate men as Schcpen-
ilauer had TO hate women, she would,
Il wis2, govern her tongue a little

A woman who says that all of our

- not ut to vote woman who says
that Susan b Anthony would have
made better executive than Abraham
Lincoln Is not fit to vote either. And
these two foolish opinions have ccme

reveals that she has no sense OF the

how the country ought to have been
