CLAIMS THAT MEXICO
HAS MADE BIG LOAN

Mexico City, Dec. live are
able to state this morning that Eng
lish bankers have loaned s20,000,OOO
to the Mexican government" an
nounced the newspaper FL impartial
today. Believing it inspired by Pre-
sident Huerta, foreigners did not ac-
cept this statement implicitly, how
ever.
Hearing that most OF the rebels at
Guaymas had gone south to Sinaloa,
General Ojeda, commanding the fed
erals at Guaymas, sailed out with
/ 900 men to learn If it were true.
He found it was not, for he met
hot resistance and fell back into the
city. Though the war Office denied
them, most people believed the re-
ports that the rebels had captured
Salinas Victoria in Nuevo Leon state,
killing Colonel Aristo, the federal
commander, in the fight.
Louis Baird, English, mining en-
gineer, was a prisoner in bandits
hands today in the state of Jalisco.
Unless 10000 pesos we're sent to
ransom him It was said he would be
shot.

GENERAL VILLA HOLDS
WOMEN FOR RANSOM

El Paso, Texas, Dec. 15.-Fight-
ing between Mexican federals and
rebels at Lamula, 10 miles south of
Ojinaga, where the federal garrison
of Chihuahua City took refuge at the
end of is flight northward to the
American border, seemed imminent
today.
The badly disorganized federal
force which arrived at Ojinaga sew
eral days ago appeared to have been
whipped into some semblance of dis
cipline again today. The troops were
maneuvering and entrenching at La
mula, plainly in anticipation Of being
attacked.
General Mercado, who was report
ed last week as missing from DIN
aga and was thought to have fallen
into the rebels hands while scout
ing, was said to be in command at
Lamula today.
A hundred more civilian refugees
from Chihuahua City arrived here to-
day, bringing fresh stories of the
misbehavior of General Villas rebel
soldiers there. Looting Is going on
Unfortunately, they asserted, and
although men whom they do not need
for military duty and against whom
they have no political grudge, are
permitted to leave freely enough, it
was declared today a common thing
for the rebels to hold the women Of
their families for ransom.
The latest refugees arrived had not
heard the report of Luis Terrazas'
execution, and did not think it true,
as they believed Villa would keep
the young man alive as long as a
chance existed of making money out
Of him. 1t was said he ha5 been
threatened with death, however, and
unquestionably would be killed un-
less his father paid for his release
which It was understood he would
do as soon as he could raise the
money.
Latest accounts were that It was
100000, instead OF $250,000, that
villa demanded from Terrazas the
elder.

fugees.

C. A. Rudell, who disappeared from
The Dalles last Saturday after war
rant had been issued for his arrest,

Washington, Dec. 15.-General
Villas behavior was worrying the
administration today. An unconfirm-
ed report was even current that he
had hanged Luis Terrazas, the Mex
lean millionaire's son, because he
was not ransomed promptly enough.
If the stories told by refugees
from Chihuahua City are true, it was
admitted the situation is serious.
These stories did not take the form
of official complaints, but assuming
them to be substantially accurate,
no attempt was made to conceal the
fact that the rebel leaders attitude
threatens trouble for the United
States in solving the Mexican prob
lem.
Secretary of State Bryan tele-
graphed to American Consul Letcher
at Chihuahua City for a report, out
did not say what reply he had re-
ceived. AS unpleasant a report as
any that was current was to the eff
feet that Villa had refused to let
Letcher send a cipher message to
Washington.
The hanging of Terrazas, should
it prove really to have happened
would also be likely to mean grave
complications. AS a Mexican subject
the United States would not ordinari
ly have had anything to say concerning
the Chihuahua magnate's fate, but
the fact that he was taken from the
British consulate puts differen
face upon the matter The rebels
were said to have gone so far as
to threaten Consul Harry Scobel tha
they would break in the consulate
doors unless he surrendered the re
fugee.
Accounts of Villas seizure o
stores, factories and stocks of goods

ers, to the value of $5,000,0OO, tina

The next feature is fertility. Al.
most all soil contains an immense

gin clays. mucks and loans contain
enough potash and phosphorus for

Why. then, do such soils peter out
and fail to produce good crops after q
while? Usually because the elements
and the bacteria cannot decompose
the soil fast enough to get the plant
foods into such shape that the plants
can take these foods up and use them.
1t also may happen that continuous
growing of the same crop will poison
the soil as far as that crop is con.
cerned.
The nitrogen gives out first, usually
