capital was ignorant today of the fall
Of Torreon. None of the newspapers
contained any intimation of the fed
eral defeat. On the contrary, all gave
assurances nat General Javier de
Moure had won a great victory over
the rebels, close to Torreon, while
the constitutionalists were trying to
from effecting a junction with General
Velasco, the federal commander at
Torreon.
General velasco is alleged. by the
newspapers to have repulsed General
Villas rebel army, which, it is said,
has retired definitely and is attempt

Mexico Won't Give Up.
Washington, April 3.-The Mexican
embassy here today still claimed vic
tory for the federal forces at Torreon.
Charge Algara today gave out this
statement:
IAN official dispatch signed by the
secretary Of foreign affairs, Senior
Lopez Portillo y Rojas, has just been
received at the embassy, giving amaze
count of the crushing defeat of the
rebel forces under Villa at Torreon.
General Mas. who left Saltillo several
has arrived at TOrreon. GeneraI De-
Moure's column has reached San Pc
dro De Las Colonials, where a deci-
sive defeat was administered to the
rebel forces sent out to oppose the
advance. The government has also
succeeded in raising a loan of over
SO. 100000 pesos. which will material
ly assist it in its tireless efforts to-
wards pacification."
Fall of Torreon Denied.
Mexico City, April 3.-General Blan-
quet today denied, to the Associated

De Bourgogne once asked Louis XIV.
OF France. why is England always 80
well ruled. although In that country
the Sale law does not exist and wom-

France so badly ruled. although only
men are allowed to reign?"
Well" said the king. because the
women who reign in England are al
ways advised and ruled by men. so
that in reality the country Is guided
by men, whereas the French sover-
eigns are always under the influence
of women, and the country Ia. there
fore. ruled by women.

phenomena did not occur until ten
the next morning-fourteen hours.
Now, the most effective time to rcare
Mccarthy was any time after nine.

Jack shook his head.
"Oh, it's not proof; It's idle hy-
pothesis." admitted Darrow. I'VE shall
have to test II. But let's go on with
II. anyway, and see how II works out"

That's SO, you aren't In touch

situation as II affected the boss. Hell.
EMS eyes we're shining with interest.
Now" continued Darrow, having
tried out his new power to the limit.
our friend would begin to use II only
as he needed it. There is now no
reason to empty the water-pot entire
ly. All he wanted to do this morning
was to scare Mccarthy, and impress
the public. He did that In thirty
eight minutes. On the basis OF four

evident that he would be rehabilitated,

Don't you think you'd better warn
people what is going to happen, and
tell them there's nothing to be fright

The next manifestation! cried
Helen. Then you think they will

he has scared Mccarthy out?"
Which will 1t be next time. do you
think?"
Whatever happens, don't be fright

1T seems to me there is something
absurd about all this" said Helen. "A
