Mexican War

The evacuation of Vera Cruz, orig
inally scheduled for October l, was de-
layed until October ri at the earliest,
and 1t is probable that the American
troops will not leave the Mexican port
for some time after that date, on ac-
count Of the uncertainty Of the situa-
ton in the interior.
Despite military movements in
Mexico word came from Luis Aguirre
Benavides, secretary to General Villa,
that an armistice had been declared
through Mexico, with Aguas Calientes
as a neutral zone. Elections will be
held according to the first agreement
from October to 10.
In his reply to the petition Of Villa'e
generals asking him to resign in favor
of Fernando Iglesias Calderon and
thus avoid civil war, General Carranza
says: Il will gladly tape such action
IL it is ratified by the general confer
ence; II not l will fight" Carranza
demands that Villa resign as head OF
the army. Fernando Calderon declined
Villas offer of the presidency.

DEATH COMES SWIFTLY
TO TWO GERMAN SPIES

London.-A story received from q

A soldier comes out from behind a
pine tree with rifle and fixed bayonet:
"Ou allez vous?" he says, stepping
before me and dropping his bayonet
point little toward me.
"Je vais me promener," reply smil-
ing, and anticipate his next demand
by pulling out my case and display
ing my special permit, also various
other papers and an officially stamped
photograph, which proves my identi-
fcation with the name upon the spe.
cial permit.
Monsieur, permit me-" says the SOL
der suddenly In very fair English.

pleasure. 1t is to me an honor!"

back among the trees.
"One comesl" he says. Ssh! Ze

in flames. We have suspects these

See Spy Among Trees.
He ceased his whisper abruptly and
we both bent forward together A
hundred yards down the narrow path
among the pines a man in a work

quietly in every direction.
Suddenly he takes a couple of steps
in among the trees, stoops and lifts
a stone.

him plainly as he coughs. He begins

men have located the underground

fort. They have been tapping It for

Death Is Painless.
The soldier is methodicaL He takes
the distant man first. Kneeling there
behind him, watch with a growing
thrill and tension of tragedy and sick

against the stock of his rife. Then
very slowly 1t seems to me In that
quiet, dreadful moment his stubby
cigarette stained forefinger crooks
back gently. gently on the trigger.

bang of the weapon, and the man
down the vista Of trees gives a queer
little jump and then turns right around
quickly and looks behind him. And
thus looking, and seemingly unaware
that he is the person who has been
shot, his heart stops and he rolls over
quite easily and gently on his side

violent deaths go, for some Of them

still looking at the silent figure down
the vista of trees.
But the soldier has been attending
to his business and has snapped of
second shot at the nearer man, for
the man had started to bolt. And be-
cause the shot was hastily aimed the
second death is as cruel as the first
was merciful.
An examination Of both bodies
shows that the men were German

New York Grand Opera Company Opens
Splendid Theatre With Faust" TOniqht

To the Editor: Thursday night
Ashland's new theatre, The Vining,
will open to the public. For years
we have felt the need of an up-to-
date playhouse, and this want has
now been filled by the enterprise of
the Vining brothers. The seating ca
pacity of the new theatre is 700, and
those qualified to make comparisons
assert that there is no handsomer en-
tertainment house between Portland
and San Francisco. The decorations
are in excellent taste, seats comfort
able and of best quality, curtains and
scenery in keeping with the balance
of the equipment, which is all up to
date and first class throughout. The
Vining brothers have shown their
faith in the city and their good will
by investment of quite a large
amount in this enterprise, and have
more than fulfilled all promises made
by them when the project was first
inaugurated. There should be no
criticism because of the charge made
for tickets on this, the opening night,
for they did not ask or receive any
assistance whatever from our citizens
in the carrying out of this project,
and hereafter, of course, popular
prices will prevail. 1t is now up to
the citizens of Ashland to show their
appreciation by filling the house to
oyerflowing on the opening night.
Let every box be filled, every seat
occupied and the S. r. o. sign out
early after the doors are open. We
have a fine little theatre. Let us
support 1t. Il. V. CARTER.

The Story of Faust Briefly Told

The first act shows us Faust as an old man, sit
ting in his study, weary and disappointed. He is
about to end his troubles and uncertainty in death,
when Easter hymn sung in the distance by a
chorus of villagers seems to bid him stay his hand.
With quick revulsion of feeling he calls on the
powers below, and, rather to his surprise Mephis-
topheles promptly appears In exchange for his
SOUL the devil offers him youth, beauty and love,
and, as an earnest of what is to come, shows him
vision OF the gentle GIargarita sitting at her spin
ming wheel. Faust Is enraptured, hastily signs the
The next act is taken up with Kermesoe IN
the market-place Of a country town. Valentine
the brother Of Margarita departs for the wars,
after conflding his sister to the care OF his friend
Siebel During pause in the dances Faust salutes
Margarita for the first time as she returns from
church. "t
The third act takes place in Margaritas garden.
