an indefatigable worker, and with his
inherited genius is bound to make his
mark in the world.
Following this came q group of
songs bv Miss Baldwin, charming
selection, charmingly rendered. Miss
Baldwin has keen Interpretation, and
to watch her expressive face one gets
the full meaning Of her songs.
The third number was piano solo
by Miss yelling; "Silver Spring." by
Mason. Miss yelling is an accom-
plished pianist and her rendering of
this brilliant piece of work was joy
not soon to he forgotten. Ch: difficult
Chopin selection which Miss yelling
gave toward the end of the program
gave her listeners an insight as to
her ability and to the hours of study
which she has given to her profession.
The second half of the program was
equally as good and pleasurable as the
first, and the three artists did credit
to themselves and to the large and ap-
preciative audience. Every number
was received with spontaneous ap-
plause. Miss Monroe accompanied
Miss Baldwin in her usual efficient
manner. Miss Monroe is an accom-
plished pianist, a clever sight-reader
and an accompanist of no small ability.
In short this recital is one long to
be remembered. Miss yelling left
Williston Tuesday evening on No. 8
for her home in Butte. She carries
with her many good wishes from her
friends here, with congratulations and
many thanks for her able assistance
in this musical feast.

U. S. SOLDIERS
LEAVE VERA CRUZ
y AMERICAN SOLDIERS WITH
DRAWN FROM MEXICO-COST
MANY LIVES

Washington, Nov. 23-American
troops, which have held Vera Cruz
since last April, evacuated the city TO-
:, day, and officials here expected sunset
will see the Mexican flag floating
again over the ancient fortress of San
Puan and American troops will be on
their way homeward across the gulf.
Dispatches from General Funston
said the furthest cutposts were with
drawn at o'clock and at 10 o'clock
troops guarding the railroads and 9th
er approaches to the city were with
drawn. At II o'clock actual embarka-
ton was on in earnest.
Gen. Funston reported that he ex-
pected troops under General Aguilar,
taking possession Of the city.
The occupation of the Mexican port,
in repisal for Huerta's insult to he
flag at Tampico, cost the United Stat
es more than score Of lives in bat
tie and disease. Also, according to
some estimates as much as ten mil
lion dollars.
But Mexico will not be asked to pay
the indemnity. The administration
officials want that fact to stand out as
added evidence of he disinterested
t&riendship Of the United States for her
southern neighbor.
Vera Cruz, Nov. 23.-The American
forces Of occupation under General
Funston, after a stay in Vera Cruz on
seven months, today began embark.
ing on steamships which will return
them to the United Statea.
The outposts began falling back
.about o'clock, and two hours later
the first soldiers were going over the
sides Of the waiting transports.
General Funston established his
headquarters abroad the transport
Cristobal early this morning, and all
organizations of his command began
at Daylight the work of moving out
their equipment.
Plans Well Laid
Everything progressed in accord
ance with previous arrangements. Be-
yond the American outposts there
lad been modified during the night
4 force of constitutionalists. As the
Americans withdrew, first from the
outlying districts, and then from the
city itself, the constitutionalists fol-
lowed them along, and nominally oc-
cupied the territory vacated.
The city is quiet, but the inhabi-
tants are apprehensive concerning the
outcome of this transfer of authority.
All saloons in Vera Cruz remained
closed on the order of General Fun
ston. and many commercial establish
ments also decided not to open.
Not Turned Over
The government Of Vera Cruz has
not been turned over to any factions
of Mexicans, the territory being evac-
uated, and as fast as the Americans
60 out the constitutionalists are COM
ing.
The American army officials are
taking with them several million
dollars collected from customs, for
the government which the United
States deems the proper one to re-
rceive it.
Remove MexicanS
The American quartermasters de-
,panment has arranged to take away
FROM Vera Cruz some 800 Mexicans,
who did not care to be in the city
when their countrymen again came
into possession.

Your advertisement in the Willis

to get attention.
You are fortunate in having a news

vertisement in the right way.
