PanchO Villas loyalty to Carranza,
the leader of the revolution in the north

CupatiOn of Chihuahua by the insur-
gents. Villa assumed so many purely
civilian functions and Carranza has
been so mute and incOnspicuOus that

to be Warrantable conclusion But
at last Villa has spoken. He says that
he knows his limitations, and as
fighting man, not a dipIomatist, he has
no aims or ambitions to become the
ruler of Mexico; accordingly he swears
allegiance to the constitutional cause
and to Carranza as its recognized

Il VERY proper American city, large
n or small, has some feature about
which it can be naughty and su-
perior. even in the presence of Chicago
and New York Take Elizabeth, n j.
for instance Elizabeth has only $4,000
people and its main street looks as if its
fire department was entirely too good
for the best interests of the town. Yet,
if Elizabeth were to be consumed to-
morrow. the supply of sewing machines
would be cut down about 80 percent,
and all over the world women would pray
for the towns recovery as they ran
seams by hand in the good old way.
Elizabeth is situated in the cOngested
part of New Jersey, around two corners
and over four bridges from New York.
By standing tip toe on a tall place, an
Elizabeth citizen can see the Singer
building in New York. built by money
made in Elizabeth. The Kill Won Kull
which is a river and not q species of
firearm. lies in front of Elizabeth. and
when the government has finished dig
ging in it, ocean steamships will be able
to steam right up to the town and
awaken its great white way at 10 o. m.
BY footing for a draw bridge.
Elizabeth makes about everything
from adding machines to ships. It has
$50 passenger trains a day and many
men who have made their money in New
York are building young palaces in
Elizabeth, thus evening up for that
Singer building affair. The city has
one dwelling house 248 years old and
nine depots, most of them a little
younger. 1t has also many new public
buildings approaching in beauty its
colonial relics. Tt has a board of trade
which sits up nights laying plans to
move the east side of New York over to
Elizabeth, to extend the Atlantic ocean
to the town and to put the Pennsyl-
vania railroad on stills.
Elizabeth is $50 years old and was
first named Elizabethtown. 1t figured so
extensively in history, however, that to
save composition and wear and tear on
historians, the name was amputated to
the last joint. Princeton university

100 Years Ago Today

NNE HUNDRED years ago today
the plenipotentiaries of the allied
nations were comforting on the
future of Europe after the overthrow
of Napoleon, which now seemed newt
able. The invasion of France, which
was the first great task undertaken by
the allies. had been accomplished, and
there now remained only the march upon
Paris. So far the coalition had accom-
plished its work well. But at this point
the iealousies of the allied nations be
gan to come to the surface. The most
of the plenipotentiaries favored pushing
on to Paris withOu tdelaY. But the
Austrians were not eager to hasten the
advance of the armies and thus insure
the triumph of Russia and the passionate
vengeance of the PTussians. At this
iuncture marshal Butcher solved the
porblem by boldly continuing his adj
vance on the French capital without
waiting for the plenipOtentiaries to
agree.
