EederaIs Mohilizinu

Ell PASO, Apr. O.-Abandoning all
interior towns, federal forces in The
state Of Chihuahua are mobilizing in
the city of Chihuahua, and it is said
by Americans coming from there today
that the step is preliminary to declarine
for General Felix DiaZ. From a number
of garrisons the federals are being
forced to fight their way through rebel
territory to reacn the state capital. The
1000 federals in Parral practically are
cut off from Chihuahua by large forces
of rebels. Americans returning from
Chihuahua say conditions there are
growing desperate. Public entertain
ments are being given to raise money
to pay the soldiers and the banks are
said to have practically no funds OF
hand. Sentiment for 'Diaz is said to be
strong and conflicts between factions
are constantly starting.

Says Japan Will Not Fiqht

CHICAGO, May Bishop Fallows
who has just returned from a trip &c
Japan, the Philippines and China de
clared today that there will be no wal
between the United States and Japan
The bishop also asserted, after 6
careful study of the Philippines, that
the United States should not give ur
its holdings there, or Japan will grab
them up double quick. He said he
made a careful study of the political
conditions in the East and said thai
war by Japan was impossible now be-
cause the natives are rOting over
high taxes.
at is safe to say that there viii
be no war between the United States
and Japan" said the bishop. "JapanTs
desire for the Philippines is a strong
incentive for action, and California is
another, but Japan is not prepared
for war any more than the United
States. Japan is living on the in
terest of her debts, as the saying goes
She has no money, and where is the
power that would finance a wal
brought against the United States?"

TESTING A ROTOR"
Great Precautions Taken to Prevent
Possible Great Disaster.

Ampere, N. J., Jan. 16-The manu-
featuring town of AmPere, N. J., was
disturbed last night by a sound like
the roaring of Niagara The sound
was made by a twelve ton rotor, the
revolving field of a generator which
was being tested in the works of the
ordinary speed. 30 titanic are the
forces which would have been loosed
and so devastating the damage that
would have been done if every part of
the machine had not been in perfect
condition to withstand the terrific
strain that the test was conducted I'M
der special conditions
The Crocker-Wheele Company is al
ways careful of its men and of it's
neighbors. Therefore a pit was dug
and lined with heavy timbens. The
box like enclosure, thus @creaed, rose a
few feet above the ground and was
weighted on top with sixty. tons of
crete base was poured into the bottom
and on top of that a five ton iron plate
was superimposed as a foundation.
Earthworks were thrown UP against
each end of the enclosure to arrest the
missile if a pole flew off or the gigan-'
tic strain proved too much for the
soma frame-to arrest put NOT TO SIop

at about one third the speed of an
old fashioned cannon ball 1t, was I'M
teresting to note that, in planning
a protection against a possible flying,
pole piece, the electrical engineers had
arrived at precisely the same conclu-
sion military engineers in planning
to stop a cannon ball. The earth.
works were exactly similar to those
thrown UP as protection against field
artillery
In service the rotor was intended to
revolve at the rate of 300 revolutions
per minute. 1t was tested at the rate
of 800. This means that a point on
the perimeter was travelling 16, 800 feet
minute. If a piece had come off
it would have Travelled half a mile, and
the unbalanced forces would have
equal1ed $50 tons When the rotor
was revolving at full speed the cen
trifugal force made each pound of the
material weigh a ton in potential
force. Therefore the weight Of the
twelve ton rotor was increased to 49,,
OOe. 900 pounds during the time of the
test.
Every part of the machine was
sound. the noise like that of mighty
falling waters gradually decreased as
the speed died down, and the great
whirring wheel and the town of Am
pere went to rest. The test was made
with a. 200 hrose power motor to drive
the rotor. At normal speed a 20 horse
power motor is sufficient. The three
rotors tested in this way were parts
