part of the Constituencies revolu-
tionary movement was managed from

1t was necessary TO have some head
OF the movement to make IL appear
other than Ii was. an outbreak or series
of outbreaks of brigandage. This man
was found in the nonentity CarranZa.
His recognition as First Chief of the
Constitutionalist movement came about
not through his own force but through
the ability OF the group which has its
headquarters In certain tall office
building in Washington. Carranza has
always been amenable to the sugges-
lions OF this group.

Conclusions Regarding the Revolution Mexico Based on
the Observations of Sun Correspondent With Gen.
Villa Army During the Torreon Campaign

saw ono group Of some zoo recruits
at Gomez Ialacio. The men came In
to the town and, as promised, rations
were issued to them. This created a
bit Of enthusiasm and they offered to
enlist. Then when arms were about
to be issued to them the realization OF
what It meant came and they baked.
Villa heard OF the trouble, rode over
from the Quartet General, forced his
, horse among them, belabored and
cursed them. They enlisted.
The Constitutionalist movement Is,
however. in some degree popular
| movement. The Diaz gang. or Glen
tificos, were doing what the educated
and wealthy class have always done,
expressing the poor. They had done
this so long and so successfully that
| a revolution was necessary to give the
peon a chance to get enough to live on.
Madero did head n popular uprising OF
a sort. The Constitutionalists are con-
tinuing that movement. though there
Is not a leader among them who has
as near his heart the welfare Of the
people "a his own gain. This popular
element has been utilized to its utmost
to gain the sympathy of the United
States.
II the Constituencies succeed the
people may for n time be better off, but
until some power comes into Mexico
strong enough to- hold in check the
wealthy class the peon has nothing to
hope for In the way OF advancement.
The typically Mexican phase of the
Constitutionalist movement is then

HELP YOUR FAIR

Special efforts are being made TO in
crease the number OF exhibits in the
AGRICULTURAL department at the coming
county fair. In the past the exhibits
have been good in this department but
they have been sadly lacking in guam
tity for a county so rich in agricul-
tural products as is Brookings county.
Every farmer has something to ex
hibit If he will only do it. This was
proven when Brookings county exhibit
took first in the state every time it was
At those times a committee
gathered the products. Thus the only
question as to whether we can have a
GOOD agricultural display is whether
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1914-08-27

the farmers will bring in what they
raise.
A good exhibit means considerable
not only to the exhibitor, but also to
the county in general. This can best
be illustrated by a remark at last
years fair by a resident Of Iowa. After
carefully examining an exhibit of
corn. he said: "Brookings county land
has risen five dollars an acre in value
in my estimation" The fair officials
are offering some special premiums
this year which should be an extra n
ducement for farmers to make tx
h'bits. Expert judges will be secured
and everyone should exhibit, and learn
what is the best type and where they
a make improvement, not only upon
their exhibits, but also upon their
crop-and at the same time they will

OSTEND SHELLED BY ZEPPELIN
BOMBS

Ostend, via London.--A Zeppelin
airship coming from the direction of
Thourout twelve miles southeast Of
BRUCE, Belgium,) dropped three
bombs.
One struck the Avenue 2 De Smet
de Mayer bridge, on the outskirts of
the town; another fell in the harbor,
and another on the premises of a
wholesale fish dealer, partly wrecking
the building.
The explosion here made great
cavity in the ground and badly dam
aged all surrounding houses, extin-
guished street lamps, destroyed cleo
trio wires and created a panic. The
Zeppelin returned toward Thielt,
twelve miles northeast of Courtrai.
From Ostend, as the crow flies, is
only about seventy miles across the
North Sea and the Strait of Dover to
the English coast.

A report from the French Foreign
ONCE at Bordeaux, says Dompierre
has been feoccupied by the Allies,
while the Germans were said to be
attacking Noyon and Richecourt, with
the Allies on the defensive there.
Capture OF Berry Au BAG by the Allies
was also reported.
Heavy losses were inflicted upon
the Germans in a retreat to BEAUMONT,
according to the report. The Ger
mans were said to be forced out Of
Lesseux and also the adjacent heavily
wooded country.
The Germans are once more in their
trenches, after giving ground slightly
between the Disc and the Somme.
They lost prisoners, flags and guns
and the spirit of the allied troops is
as unbroken as their ranks.
Desperate attempts made by the
Germans on the western end Of the
long battle to break through the AL
les forces, engaged in a turning
movement, resulted in the most fu-
rious fighting that has taken place
since the beginning Of the campaign.
After fighting without respite night
and day, for 4S hours, corps after
corps of Germans was hurled against
the flower of the French and English
armies. only to be thrown back.
