Juarez, Mex, April 3.-Torreon fell
completely into the hands of the reb-
els last night, according to announce
ments made here by General Venusti-
ano Carranza.
Latest reports direct from Gomez
Palacio, declare the streets of Torreon
are choked with dead and wounded.
Some of the federals who had been
fighting on the outskirts of the town
fled, but large number of prisoners
who had been defending the barracks
and street barricades were captured.
The rebel soldiers were exhausted
with fighting and when 1t became
known that the enemy had been routed
most Of them fell asleep in the streets
wherever they were:
The first news was conveyed in the
following official dispatch from Gen
eral Villa to his chief:

preme Chief of the Constitutionalists

How many male and female ances'

that you should have a father and
mother. That makes two human be-
ings. Each of them must have had a
father and mother. That makes four

making eight more human beings. So

After desperate fighting. Gomez
Palacio. Lerdo and several smaller
towns were taken. Then the at
tack Was made on Torreon proper.
Villa estimates his own casualties
at 500 dead and 1900 wounded. but

greater He announced the capture

INCREASE IN SALARIES
COUNTRY SCHOOL TEACHERS TO
DEMAND MORE PAY.
Letters to Be Sent Boards Of Educa-

or Wages for Capable instructors.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Due to the appeal of Miss
Charlotte Alternately, a teacher Of
Arapahoe, Mrs. Mary G. G. Bradford,
state superintendent Of public instruc-
ton, will send out letters to the vari-
Gus school boards of the state urging
an increase in the salaries Of first
grade teachers in the rural districts
Of Colorado as the first move in a
campaign towards that end to be
waged for the next school election in
May.
In a letter to Mrs. Bradford, Miss
Abernathy says that eighth-grade
graduates, given third-grade teachers
certificates in the teachers examina-
tions, teach in the rural district at
the same salaries received by first
grade teachers with normal training,
and from six to twenty years expert
ence, and that as result, first-class
teachers are leaving the rural schools
and their positions are filled by mex
perienced young girls.
In the country districts, she writes,
the services Of experienced and come
tent instructors are more badly need
ed than in any other sections of the
state.
The first-grade teachers in rural
districts. Miss Abernathy states, are
SO underpaid that they become dis
couraged and leave. The third grade
teachers salaries were raised; why,
she argues, cannot justice be done to
the first-grade teachers?

Woodrow Wilson's great achievements
in responsible leadership. Mr.. Creel
says:
confirmed idealist expressing nation of
long repressed idealists-in nothing else is there
any possible explanation of Woodrow Wilson s
record of amazing achievement.
The larger good of the Wilson policies, to be
sure, is found in peoples recovery of faith,
ideals and selfrespect but there are tremendous
returns, nevertheless, that can be measured in
dollars and cents In summing up these tangi-
BILE benefits, there is an almost indecent ex-
posure of materialism and the sham practicality
that it has been preaching.
The proposed war of conQuest-for that was

saddled every back with crushing road of
taxation. Nor can there be any possible
approximation Of the sad army of widows and
orphans, the thousands crippled in body
and mind, and the hurt to the nation in
lost strength. persisted ideals, and crushed
aspiration. The greed and humanity that are
ipseparable from armed conflict would have
taken charge of American life. and the whole
wonderful movement for social Justice would
have been set back immeasurbly if not crushed
absolutely.
Tariff legislation more than any other one
thing has been the source of the corruption that
has rotted public service, and in the growth of
the sinister privileges fostered by the system
there is almost sole responsibility for the
perversion of American ideals. This cancer has
