Division Among Club
Women Over Election
Of a County President

The news published in The Press
of a prospective division of the dele
gates to the County Federation OF
Women's Clubs at Holtville over the
selection of county president has
created wide comment and officers Of
the several clubs are anxious to have
it known that they are not respon-
sible for the publication. The news
in this case was published, as all news
articles are, on the responsibility of
the publication itself. If it had been
contributed article, it would have
been so stated.
The fact is that the County Fedora
tion is falling heir to controversy
that has been local affair in I'm
perial for months, and when the dele
gates meet in Holtville in their an
nual convention they will find them
selves forced to decide whether the

Durand WasHead
Of Revolution
Omitted Press Day Service)

Lima, Peru, Feb. Sit was expect
ed that when congress convened, late
today, DR.. Augusta Durand would
proclaim himself president, succeed
ing Guillermo Billinghurst, deposed,
although the public had expected Colo
mel Benavides to assume the presi-
dency, but, while he had directed the
military movement that resulted in
Billinghurst's overthrow, it developed
today that Durand is the real head
of the conspiracy. He is directing
affairs at the national palace today,
with Benavides as his chief of staff.
Billinghurst remains a prisoner at
Callao. He will be deported as soon
as the necessary arrangements are
made. Billinghurst confessed that he
was trying to undermine the consti-
tuition and establish dictatorship, but
the confession is believed to have been
extorted by threats against his life.
One thousand are reported killed in
the fighting attending the revolution.

presidency Of the club shall go where
the influence of the clubs may be
used against the anti-saloon campaign
that is agitating the entire state.
1t may be unfortunate for the clubs
that this issue is forced upon them,
but, as the issue is presented, it is
well that the delegates should know
of the fact in advance, and as mat
ter of news it is important that it
should be published.
The same issue has in large part
disrupted the Imperial club, driven out
of the organization many of the best
ladies of that city, and the temper
ance question is so all-pervading, es-
pecially this year, that it seems cer-
tain to manifest itself at the county
convention of the clubs, at least to
the point of making sure that the
clubs are not surrendered to liquor

Civic League Is
To Stand Guard

A meeting was held last evening
at Davis hall for the organization of
county civic league, the object of
which is to discuss all matters that
affect the welfare of the county and
to investigate the character and abil-
ity of all candidates for county of
flee, making recommendation Of cam
didates as facts may develop.
1t is expected to have a committee
of about 100, divided between the five
supervisoral districts, none of whom
shall be a candidate for office, and
who are to be selected from all par
ties, this committee to make recon-
mendations to the league touching the
several candidates.
While the attendance at the meet
ing was not large last evening, it was
representative, and it was believed
that much good could result from the
proposed work.
A committee was appointed to for
mulate a plan of procedure and of
organization, this committee to re-
port to a meeting to be held at the
High School next Wednesday even
ing, and to which every person in the
county interested in good government
is invited. This committee consists of
Michael Sorenson, Rev. William Coch-
ran of the Episcopal church, Profess
sor M. R. Kerr, principal of the Cen
trail Union High School, Ray Edgar
and E. F. Howe.
At the same meeting Professor
Kerr told of the effort to build up in
the county at the several schools COM
munity assemblies, which shall be
woven into county organization. He
said that at number of the country
district schools highly interesting
meetings are being held, and much
progress sis being made toward. MAX
ing civic centers of the schools.
1t was suggested that a greater
effort should be made in the towns
and country to bring about organiza-
tions in which young and old should
participate for the discussion of pub
lie questions, and undoubtedly much
more will be done to this end.

Rome, Feb. 5.-The formal ANAL
gamation of the Italian Socialists and
Feminists for the attainment of their
respective political ends, took place
today. The recent election of 80 So
cialist deputies to parliament was in
a large measure due to the campaign
efforts of the Italian suffragettes, the
Socialists alone having declared them
selves in favor of equal suffrage. In
return for this the Socialistic party
today announced its formal alliance
with the Feminists. The Socialists will
fight to secure suffrage for the for
mer, and the latter will fight to secure
parliamentary support for the Social

MEXICANS' LAZINESS
lessons CASUALTIES

Houston, Texas, Feb. 5.-The secret
is out. The public long ago began to
accept as joke published reports that
hundreds were killed in Mexican bat
ties, for the number invariably dwin-
died down to a score or more. But
there is reason.
The exaggeration of killed and
wounded in battle is directly due to
the Mexicans' laziness. The Mexican,
both federal and rebel, be it known,
with few exceptions, carry the small
lest army rifle in the world-a % cal
ibre. Some carry a 3O-3O. The Mex
leans dislike to carry heavy guns or
heavy ammunition and these light
rifles are no burden. The Mexican loves
to fight, but when it comes to march
ing and carrying a gun, that is work:
and he wants to get out of as much Of
that as possible. There is no glory
in carrying heavy gun.
This discovery was made by William
H. McGrath, representing the Nation
al Red Cross society. He found that
Mexicans who had fallen in battle
suffered from very small bullet wounds
and further investigation revealed the
fact that they carried the lightest
weapons possible. McGrath has just
returned from a trip along the border
and throughout Northern Mexico

Mexico City, Feb. 5.-"President
Huerta knows that certain American
concessions, or trusts as you call them
are helping the rebels secure arms
and money!" said Foreign Ministe,
Mohena in an interview today. "In
raising the embargo on munitions he
gives these trusts still better Op-
portunity to render aid. President
Wilson is fighting trusts at home, but
by lifting the embargo he has played
into their hands here"
Mexicans generally appear to have
forgotten Wilson's act, although the
press still contains vitriolic COM
ment.
Attacks on Torreon and Tampico
have superseded interest in the rails
ing of the embargo. 1t is believed
here that Tampico is likely to fall,
but public confidence in the Torreon
garrison is great. There is no indi-
cation of decrease in anti-American
sentiment, however. Huerta is pa
trolling all the streets to prevent a
demonstration, seemingly taking pride
in the excellent order now prevailing
He is taking no chances, however, of
an outbreak. The only serious threats
come from students, who seem deter
mined to make a demonstration. HUI
erta has explicitly forbidden this. He
does not believe they will dare dis
obey his order, but has instructed the
cavalry leaders to promptly break up
any attempted meeting.

where he saw much fighting. During
the day of the heaviest fighting at
Nuevo Laredo when the rebels tried
to capture the town 125 fatally
wounded soldiers who were counted as
dead, were cared for by the Red Cross
corps. Only four of the Mexicans died
as the wounds of the majority were
slight. This is about the average per,
centage of deaths of those cared for,
asserts McGrath, which leads to the
reports being sent out that great
many were killed. They are seen to
fall and they are carried away on
stretchers and the correspondents and
even the generals are honestly de-
ceived. SO when one reads a head
line 1900 Die in Mexican Battle" it
may be generally taken for granted
that there is one cipher too many. This
has been the case in every Mexican
battle in the last several years. The
slaughter is not SO terrible as under
stood. The greatest suffering, accord
ing to the Red Cross agent, is not on
the battlefield, but in the camps and

that is the reason why it already has
