The Smile.

The girl who smiles too much makes
as great a mistake as she who smiles
too little. for though she may be only
actuated by an honest desire to
please. she lays herself open to the
charge Of insincerity. A smile can
transform a plain face into loneliness,
but 1t only does this when 1t Is the
outcome Of some special emotion. and
not a mere aimless parting Of the lips.
Smiling to ORDER" or on any and
every occasion, is fatal to charm, and
should be carefully avoided.

Heavy Casualties IN Three Days.
Hard Fighting.
EXECUTE CAPTURED OFFICERS
Regulars and insurgents Use Sam
Tactics Toward Men Holding
Commissions.

Nogales, AriZ, May 13.-More than
500 dead are lying on the field above
Guaymas, resulting from three days
desperate fighting last week. Colonel
Juan Cabral. who arrived at Hermosil-
10 from the front, reported that he had
estimated the killed to exceed 600. A
trainload of Oil and firewood was
rushed south With which to cremate
the bodies.
The official report of General Alfero
Oregon. the insurgent commander,
stated that the federal killed alone
numbered 500, with 200 Huerta sol
diers taken prisoners. Both sides
have been executing all commissioned
officers captured, wounded or unhurt.
There has been little fighting since
Sunday. Driven to the last station
north of the gulf port, the remnants
of the federal army of some $500
found itself cut off from further re.
treat. Believing that lack of food and
water soon would force a surrender
the state troops contented themselves
with holding the federals in their po-
sition, occasionally harrassing the ex-
IRENE lines when any attempt was
made to move toward Guaymas. The
200 federals left in Guaymas did not
move from the town.

WILSON SEES NO
CAUSE Fer ALARM
Negotiations With Japan Pro.
ceeding Satisfactorily.

Washington, May 13.-President
Wilson believes negotiations between
Japan and the United States over the
alien land legislation in California are
not in an alarming stage, but that the
interchange of views thus far had
been along frank and friendly lines
calculated o emove the appearance
of discrimination against Japanese
subjects.
The president, discussing the sub
ject informally, took the position that
the Webb bill would not violate the
treaty between Japan and the United
States. He intimated that Japan's
protest was not founded upon a claim
that the treaty would be broken in
any way. but upon the feeling that
there was an effort to discriminate
against Japan on the ground of their
alleged i~neligibility to citizenship.
The president revealed that the
question of naturalization had not yet
entered the discussion with the Japa-
nese ambassador.
