MEXICAN WOMEN READY

% Sonora Blanca valesco. late Of Mexico
City. now of New York. though only for
q small WHILE" as she explains II. was
the speaker.
American soldiers going into Mexico
may think they are on for one grand biz
military holiday" continued the sonora,
but before they have finished their FIRST
battle they viii find they are In one OF
the bitterest struggles In the history OF
their country"
Are all Mexican women as patriotic
as your she was asked.
Every one Of them. Why should we
not be patriotic? We have had 30 much
u war that 1t is a part of our life. For
three years the women of Mexico have
given their fathers, their sons, their hus-
bands, their brothers, their sweethearts
to fight for what to them seemed the
right.
do the women of your country fear
war; was asked
mo; they do not fear II. They are
sorry; that is all. Perhaps you have not
heard of the 'solderas.' The 'solderas' are
the wives Of the men enlisted in the
army. They do not remain at home. as
do your wives. Instead, they follow the
army wherever II goes. Most Of the time
they precede II.
'''It is beyond belief, the bravery and
endurance OF the 'solderas.' They pack
the tent on their backs. also the pots and
pans for cooking. and often a little baby.
mo difference how rough and danger
Gus the trail. you will find the 'solderas'
close to the army. They are the kind
of women who hav made history.
In the battles between warning fac
tons in Mexico it is by no means un-
usual for the battlefield to be strewn
with as many slain women as men, for
when the soldier of Mexico dies fighting
his 'soldera' takes up his gun and con-
tinues the fight until she, too. drops,
The American soldier may expect to
find himself face to face with the enemy,
and the enemy may be q woman. The
'solderas' know no fear. II will be a
fight to the finish"

DENIES PLAYING POLITICS >

That Gen. Leonard Wood was pre-
vented from going to Mexico because OF
politics was officially denied by Secre-
tary OF War Garrison yesterday. He
said that such a story was a canard and
an absolute fabrication.
ITO accuse the Secretary Of War OF
playing politics at a time like this" said
Garrison. lis criminal Gen. Wood has
never received the slightest intimation
that he would go to Vera Cruz. No or
ders OF that nature were ever considered
in this department by myself or by Gen.
Wood. who until several days ago, was
chief OF stan. When / am guilty of
playing politics as Secretary of War. you

DISTRICT BILL HELD UP

The District appropriation bill is still
awaiting the action of the Senate and

time. are deadlocked and unless some
way can be found to break the deadlock,
the bill may be among the last Of the
present session 10 get the President q

House conferees are not enthusiastic
over a number of Senate amendments
but the chief hitch comes on the House
provision requiring the District to turn
back into the Federal Treasury any reve-
nUes It may have in excess of yearly ex-
peEses. This is a disguised blow at the
half-and-half plan, for 1t reduces by Just

VILLA WON'T QUIT, EVEN
AT ORDER OF CARRANZA
Rebel Chief Has Eye on SaldllO and
Tampico-Waiting for Movies.
Is Report.

Ell Paso. Tex, April 3O.-Gen. Villa
wouldn't stop fighting or pay any atten-
tion to an armistice even II Carranza told
him to.
So said the Villa officers in Juarez to-
day. They are sure Don Pancho Will
gather all his fighting men and strike
the Huertitas at Saltillo and that then
he will take Tampico so that he may
have q port to import ammunition and
arms and out of which he can ship his
loot.
An armistice just now is not at all to
the bandit chiefs liking. His armies
have the habit of victory and the Huer-
tistas are discouraged and ready to de-
sert or fee
There is no doubt here among the men
who have been in the recent hghtng
that Villa will win at both Saltillo ana
Tampico. He has just about ammunitlon
enough 10 make those nights, ana the
schemes of diplomatists and aroitrators
are iust so much junk in the path Of a
conquisitador.
But there is one thing that may delay
the attack on Saltllo for few days
Villa may await for the moving picture
machines now assembling at Juarez 10
20 forward and record on films the hor-
rors. the braveries and the posings OF
Mexican war.
A suspicion is abroad that bOn TdhSho
has a financial interest in the rake-on
in these movies and quietly he will not
fire a shot until the camera battery has
taken up position. This battery may not
be ready TO leave Juarez before Sunday
or Monday and the downfall OF Saltillo
must await its appearance.
The United States does not intend to
lift the embargo on arms and war NUM-
tions along the border Such Is the
positive statement made by officials here
Coal and saddles and foodstuffs are per-
mitted to cross the border. but nothing
that smells OF Villa-in-ous-saltpeter.

THE HUNTING OF ASTARTE

George Sterling in February Smart Set.
In the silence of midnight lost, lost
forevermore,
stood upon a nameless beach where
none had been before
And red gold and yellow gold were the
shells upon that shore
Lone, lone, it was a mSc-enfolded strand
Set around lake where marble demons
stand
Held like a sapphire stone in Tribets
monstrous hand
And there I beheld how One stood in
her grace
To hold to the stars her wet and faery
face,
And on the smooth and haunted sands her
football had no trace.
White. white was she as the youngest
seraphs word,
Or milk of Eden's kline " Edens fragrant
curd,
Cast in love by Ewes wan hand to her
most snowy bird
Fair, fair was she as Venus of the sky.
And the jasmine of her breast and the
starlight of her eye
Made the heart pain and the soul a
hopeless sigh.
And she sent forth i'ar gaze to the
waters of the west,
Ano she sent forth her soul to the
Islands of the Blest,
Below a star whose silver throes set
pearls upon her breast.
BGt chill in the east broke a glory on the
lands,
And she moaned like some low wAve
that dies on frozen sands.
And held to her sea lover her sweet and
cruel hands.
Then rose the moon, ;lad its lance was
in her side,
And there was bitter music because IN
woe she cried,
Ers on the hard and cleaning beach she
laid her down and died.
leapt to her succor. my sword l leftl
behind;
But one low mound Of opal foam was
all that / could find
A moon-washed length Of airy gems
that trembled in the wind.
knelt beneath the stars: the sea put
forth a wave;
The moon drew up lis captive tides
upon that shining grave,
AS far away i heard tie cry her dim
sea lover gave.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
A married man is never in doubt about
anything as long as his wife is around.
The reason a girl likes to dance all
night and pump player piano all day
is because her ankles are so weak that
she can't stand up in front of the kitchen
sink and wash dishes.
The reason why Platonic friendships
always end dsastrously is because one of
the friends wears skirts.
We all love good loser when he loses
to u.s.
The world owes you living. But you'll
have to peel off your coat and roll up
your sleeves to collect it.
The man who minds his own business
never has a headache the next morning.
There are only two things in the world
that are rarer than radium They are
good sense and good nature.
Every man has a pet enemy.
The reason woman has SO much
patience is because she usually marries
man who hasn't any.
A reformer is a man who always has
a front seat at a smutty show and then
wants it stopped so nobody else can
see it.
woman shouldn't go around Dragging
about how happy she is with her husband
when the walls of her fiat are thin.
The man who worries about what the
other fellow is going to do always runs
second.
To a girl all girls are alike. To a man
all girls are different
1t is funny that man who has brains
enough for two usually marries the kind
of a girl who hasn't any
A married man is always up against it,
When his wife can't think of any more
embarrassing questions to ask him the
children start in where she left off.
When the worst comes to the worst
make the best of it,
