Juarez, Mex, Dec. 3.-Several gen.
erals of the Mexican regular army are
ready to surrender and the backbone
of the Huerta dictatorship in the north
has been broken. A peace commission
arrived in Juarez last night, bearing
terms of the surrender.
The peace commission was headed
by Odilon Hernandez and came from
Chihuahua bearing a proclamation
signed by Gen. Salvador Mercado,
Huerta's military Governor and COM
mander of the Federal forces in all the
north The proclamation stated that
the Huerta government was bankrupt
and was unable to pay it's soldiers.
| The Simultaneous evacuation of 9TH
er Federal strongholds in the north is
believed by the rebels to be the re-
! suit of a concerted decision to aban-
/ don the whole of northern Mexico.
The peace proposals were sent by
! Gen. Mercado to Gen. Francis Villa
rebel leader, through Federico Moye
civil Governor of Chihuahua State, ap
pointed ad interim. Along with it
came an appeal signed by all the for
| eign consuls in Chihuahua calling
upon Villa to give police protection tc
the citizens of Chihuahua City.
The generals signified through
Moye their willingness to surrender
but nevertheless they are fleeing to the
United States border.
They are Gems. Salvador Mercado
Pascual Orozco, Jose Manzanilla, Bias
Orphinal and Lands.
The commission started back fol
Chihuahua last night with Villas as
surances that people of all classes il
the city and including the Fedora
police would be protected, and tha
he would dispatch troops to garrison
the place as soon as possible.
Notwithstanding the action of the
Federals, Gen. Villa himself, was pre-
pairing for departure southwark. HI
said Chihuahua would be only a stop
ping place on his southwark march, al
he was determined to continue t,

Handsome Boquet For Arkan


Sa>.
 What we consider one of the very handsomest and most gel erous boquets ever handed the state of Arkansas comes from the Oklahoman, of Oklahoma City, which, as is to be expected, is thoroughly loyal to it's home state and yet generous enough to see the good in others. The Oklahoman recently said:
 Arkansas has often been spO- ken of in terms that don't bor- der on fattery. Some wonderful tales have originated about Ar kansas, said tales having. been designed to provoke merriment at the expense of the good state adjoining Oklahoma on the east. The Arkansas Traveller has been used as a joyous subject. But-let's look at the record and see if Arkansas is not THE state which is one that should be admired, initiated and eulogized.
 '1n past years-in any of the past years, during the trying days of midsummer, when many western states were in despair, when dreuth stalked about, and men looked anxiously for signs of rain, Arkansas was crying for help and still more help to harvest the bounteous crops,
 "Did anyone ever hear of a crop failure in Arkansas? Of course not, for, while the jokers were busy creating new stories with Arkansas as the butt, that remarkable state was busy ship ping friut to northern markets to furnish the luxuries to com munities which had not been able to raise them.
 Again, while northern forests were struggling in the tender years of .rejuvenation, Arkansas was supplying northern builders with lumber to build homes; yet Arkansas was not robbing the forests. but was sensibly cutting timber and raising more, to al- ways have a supply of building materials to ship to communities less fortunate.
 Rich in minerals, Arkansas sends carloads of the wealth ot her mines to those poverty stricken mineral states that have exhausted their mines and are forced to seek the Arkansas section for supplies.
 "Who knows how many aims houses there are in Arkansas? ? Here is an institution that IS scarce in Arkansas, for Arkan- sas people sEa not extremely rich, and ti.eiefore the state has few poor people. Ever notice that tremendous riches have aw- full poverty travelling in It's wake?
 "And the Arkan5a2 people are contented. They know full well that they have a resourcefui state. They know that they have advantages which far surpass those of many other states.
 "Ouit laughin' at Arkansas.
 For, Arkansas will surprise you. if you take the trouble to inquire about the rainfall of the
