San Diego, California. Nov. 18-A
statement issued on the first day Of
November by the officials Of the San
Dieso Exposition informs those in
terested in the progress Of work on
the Exposition grounds that the Ex-
position was more than one-half COM
pleted and that the division OF
Works was six weeks In advance Of
Its scedule. The promise had been
made by these officials, more than
one year ago. that the Exposition
buildings and grounds would be in
tireiy complete by the first day Of
August. 1914. five months In advance
Of the opening day. January. 1915.
with six weeks leeway at the pres
ent time. officials Of the San Diego
Expeditions are confident that this
promise will not only be kept. but
that six months. instead OF five. as
originaily intended, will be afforded
for additional adornment Of grounds
and avenues. and the cleaning up
process necessary after the compile
ton OF the hugh Exposition struc-
lures. They feel safe In asserting
also. that no other Exposition was
20 far advanced a year and two mon
tbs ahead Of its opening time as is
the San Diego Exposition.
At the time OF this announcement
fully eighty per cent OF the contem-
plated work on the grounds of the
Exposition was done. Eight Of the
twelve main exhibit buildings were
nearing completion. and foundations
for all Of the others were laid. Work
ON the buildinss and spectacular fea-
lures along the Isthmus, the amuse-
ment concession street of the Ex-
position. was well under way. some
OF the largest industrial and COM
mercial exhibits were being Install
cd. and the buildings of foreign ooun-
tries and the various states OF the
United States were begun. indica-
tions now are that nothing can pre-
vent the San Diego Exposition from
bsins ready on time.

Brownsville, Tex, Nov. 1S.--Ev-
cry member defending the federal
garrison was killed before the Con-
stitutionalists finally captured We
toria, the capital OF the Mexican
state Of Tamaulipas today, according
to a report of General Pablo Con-
zales, who commanded the attacking
forces, to the Constitutionalist head
quarters at Matamoras tonight. Con
zales describes the battle as one Of
the bloodiest of the revolution.
No definite estimate is given Of the
life loss. but it was said the dead
bodies Uttered the streets, Lay thick
through the courtyard and halls of
the government palace. where pcr-
tion Of the federal gariison made q
last stand. Evrey one Of these men
was slain after being driven from
the Catholic sanctuary yesterday.
The greater portion of the garri-
son Of 5000 evacuated the city this
morning at $3.50 o'clock and retreat
ed to Tulsa, some miles away, where

terpreted as virtual demand for
recognition Of the ConstitutionA1dst
revolution before exchanges between
the Carranzistas and Washington are
concluded. Escudero said, ',for our
part unofficial negotiations are end

did not desire recognition, and only
wanted the embargo ON the. ilnposAA-

cism After Conquest.

tory. Not even Grant, the demigod, is
immune. Meade liked and admired
Grant, but saw in him no demigOd and
does not hesitate to say so.
This is Gettysburg year. The letters
, from Meade written from this battle
field are most interesting and abound
in graphic touches. Two days before
the battle General Meade wrote to his
wife: Il am going straight at them
and will settle this thing one way or
the other. The men are in good spir
its, we have been REINFORCED so as to
have equal numbers with the enemy,
and with Gods blessing l hope to be
successful"
Then they met, Meade and Lee, and
Gettysburg, the quiet little Pennsyl
vania town, shook to the tread of regi-
ments. Names like Cemetery Ridge,
Little Round Top, the Devils Den and
the Peach Orchard leaped into history
amid Yankee yelIs and rebel cheers and
the roar of artillery and the groans of
dying men. The northern general had
horse shot from under him, saw
Pickett's charging brigade hurled back
and heard cheers from thousands of
threats as he galloped along the front
Of the victorious army. At one time
the little farmhouse that served as his
headquarters was the target Of shell
after shell from Confederate positions,
but he never lost his nerve
Only few weeks after the battle Of
Gettysburg the criticism which for
years was leveled SO unsparngly at
Meade was beginning. His wife re-
sented it bitterly, but her more philo-
sophical consOrt wrote admonishing
her that she must try to be resigned
and not anticipate evil, but wait for its
actual arrival"
Soon Grants fame began to over
shadow that of Meade and all other
northern commanders. Later came
more criticism, including an attack by
Henry Ward Beecher, and following
this Halleck was placed in command
Of the Army of the Potomac, and
Meade was his subordinate

loss was: Killed, 3,O70; wounded, H.

For the semicentenary celebration
great preparations have been made. The
veterans camp on the battlefield just as
they did in 1868. Five thousand tents
provide room for those who attend, and
eight ex-soldiers sleep in each tent.
The celebration was arranged by
commission consisting of men from all
for the event were most elaborate. 1t
is a big problem to house and feed 49,
coo veterans and 100000 Of their rela-
lives.
The phantom of death hOvers over
all such celebrations, however, and the
United States government has taken
cogniZance Of the phantom. The war
department TcdllZcS IudI Tic tclcEduS
are dying at the rate Of one every
fourteen minutes and that the death
rate is growing greater with every
passing year. The average age Of the
civil war veteran today is seventy-two
years. Heat, as is encountered at such
a celebrat ton; the lowered vitality Of
the veterans due to travelling in crowd
ed trains and without proper rest, the
lack Of discipline and the physical ex-
ertion on the field cause the death rate
at the celebration to increase.
Many precautions to keep this rate
down are made by the war depart
ment, by the Pennsylvania health de-
partment and by the city authorities at
Gettysburg.
Engineers tested every water supply
source there and found that the public
water supply was pure So was the

Those few supplies which were dis

has been employed to make constant
tests to guard against impure water.
