CAPTURE OF ZACATECAS
RATED AS DIFFICULT TASK
Constitutionalists Declared to Have
Had Small Success In the In
vestment Of City.

ToRREON. Mexico. June 15-The tax
ing of Zacatecas. now being attacked by
the constitutionalists, is not likely to be
an easy task, according to Impressions
prevailing here today. The investment
Of the city by Gen. Natera, chief of the
central division, is far from complete.
| The Huerta forces still hold Calera,
nineteen miles north of Zacatecas, in
spite of the first assault The evacaa-
tion Of Fresnillo by the federals a few
days ago followed a short skirmish. The
federals have availed themselves of every
opportunity to appear for a stout defense
of Zacatecas, and should they be. COM
pletely cut off. as Is evidently the plan
Of the constitutionalists, they are pre-
pared to Withstand q long siege.
Accumulation Of Stores.
In the city lapge stores Of supplies
have been accumulated. and to make the
defense of the place effective strong re-
doubts and extensive intrenchments have
been thrown upon three mountains near
the city. These positions, commanding
the only approaches OF the city, have an
average elevation OF about 1,4OO feet
above the level Of the surrounding coun-
try. An ample supply Of food also has
been accumulated.

Parents Of the children of the Fill

appear before the board of education
when it meets this afternoon to pro-
test against the further use OF the

Following the burning of Western

pupils were placed in the Fillmore
building, and the grade school chill

This action was thought by the school
authorities to be the most expedient
that could be taken.
Inasmuch as it will be a long time be-
fore the Western building can be re-

ton accommodated there. many parents
living in the vicinity of the Fillmore
school feel that their children should

FOR LOANS UPON FARMS
Federal Reserve Act Makes Use of
Huge Sum Possible, Will
liams Shows.

Controller of the Currency Williams
estimates that about $500. 900 600 In ma
tional banks throughout the United
States is available, for farm mortgage
loans under the provision of the federal
reserve act making it possible for ma
tional banking associations to lend
money on improved farm lands.
Scores of inquiries concerning this pro-
vision reach the Treasury Department
daily, and there does not seem to be a
general understanding that the farm loan
clause of the act is now in force, and
makes it possible for national banks to
make farm loans before the normal or
ganization of the federal reserve board.
The estimate Of Controller Williams is
stock and surplus of national banks to
of this amount. or 44i.250O 900. is avail
able for farm loans. Furthermore. the
federal reserve act provides that ma
tional banks may grant farm loans up
to 80 l-3 per cent Of their time deposits
Banks with large deposits will be able
far to exceed the sum they could lend on
farms under the 25 per cent clause, and
the estimate of Mr.. Williams is believed
to be conservative.
Farm loans under this act are not to be
made for longer than five years. and the
amount of each loan is not to exceed so
per cent Of the actual value OF the farm
offered as security.

COMMERCIAL MEN PROTEST.
Allege Discrimination in Exemption
of Labor in Trust Legislation.

A protest against provisions IN the
sundry civil bill and the Clayton trust
bill, which. it is alleged. would exempt
labor organizations and farmers organi-
cations from certain provisions of exist
ing law relating to Combinations in re-
straint of trade" has been filed with
President Wilson. the Vice President.
Speaker Clark and members of Congress
by the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States. The Chamber of Com
meree holds that these efforts to exempt
labor and farmers organizations are
class legislation.
The Nations Business. the official or
gan of the chamber, published today.
said, in part:
"A discrimination as between classes
must unquestionably result In retarded
national development, and prove as In
furious to labor and agriculture as 1t will
TO business, for the three are absolutely
interdependent and one cannot perma-
! nently benefit at the cost of another"

Purpose of Program.

This program of persecution. the am
bassador explained. was prompted by a
desire to create a more homogeneous
population out of the subjects of Greece
but has resulted in creating condltlon
which threatens the prosperity OF the
archipelago. In order to offset TINS uls-
advantage a vigorous campaign mas
been insugurated within the Turkish EN-
pire, with the purpose of bringing pach
the Turks now within its borders.
In order to disguise this propaganda,
Rustum Bey declared that reports OF
outrages and massacres We're spread, cal
culated to terrorize the Greeks IN luI-
key and arouse the sympathy OF the out
side world.
These reports were repudiated as false,
hoods by the ambassador. who declared
that they were only part OF cam
paign TO proselyte Greek colonies Whicn
had existed in peace for centuries uhuef
Turkish rule in cond1tlon OF au-
tonomy, with perfect freedom in rellgion

AMBASSADOR REVIEWS
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Ottoman Subjects Driven From Mace
donia. He Says-Charges Sc
ries of Falsehoods.

Weakness of the Greek fleet. whose
efficiency Is limited to holding the
Aegean Islands. removes all fear of a
Greco-Turkish war, according to a
statement made by Rustum Bey. the
new Turkish ambassador to the United
States.
The circulat ton of rumors of friction
between the two countries may be d.
rectly traced, according to. the am
bassador. to unfavorable economic con-
ditions in Greece resultant from the
depopulation of large areas in Mace
donna and other provinces. That de-
population was due. it was affirmed. to
the exodus of hundreds of thousands
of Turks. driven from the kingdom by
a long series of insults. indignities and
even crueltes which they have SUI
fered at the hands of their adopted
government.

he quoted a pamphlet. written by an
Englishman, which, he declares, tells for
the first time the true story of Turkish
defeat which, it is shown. was directiy

great powers

Rustum Bey. because the countries are

Turkey, one from Brazil and one from
England, 1t was pointed out would make

One Of the fine effects of the OBJ

our thoughts to the tineness of wO-

consider what the lives hot only of
our mothers but OF all women have
meant To the world.
Someone has said: The condition
of the women is the truest test of a
peoples civilization. Her status is
her country's barometer" The truth
of this statement is shown in that al
most the first result of Il missionary s
work among heather people is ia the
attitude of that people toward the
women.
Conversely. We have in this country
brought the flower of womanhood To
its most b-autiul bloom should ieal-
ously guard it and should fight with
utmost intensity anything which
would tend to degrade woman or tend
