The local r. G. A. team journeyed
to Laconia and Franklin last week
and came back with losses to each
team and the loss of one Of their own
star men. Demers, the crack for
ward of the past three seasons. sus-
tanned a cracked rib in the Franklin
game and may be out OF the game
for some time His loss was the
browning blow to a series OF misfor-
tunes that the F. G. A. team has had
to undergo this year, and 1t IS no
wonder that the boys feel diseOur-
aged, but every team has to have its
share of hard luck at some time or
other and this years troubles surely
mean great success next year.
At Laconia the local boys were
clearly Outclassed both in shooting
and passing, and Laconia won on
their merits. The team played well
together and each man was a star,
but the elusive Finn, probably the
best player the F. c. A. team has
seen this season, made victory pos
sible for the Lake City five. For
st. Johnsbury, Demers was the star,
playing a whirIwind game, and La
croix was better than he has been.
This lad is getting to be great ball
player.

NEW TRIAL ORDERED
 FOR MRS. WAKEFIELD AK
Supreme Court RueS That M1gt
 buTpcc Erred in His Decision.

Hartford, April 17.-Ruling that a part of the evidence given by Coroner Eli Mix in her trial should have been excluded, the supreme court yesterday found error in the conviction of Mrs. Bessie J. Wakefield of murder in the first degree and ordered new trial for the woman.
 Mrs. Wakefield was found guilty in the superior court of New Haven county on October 31, 1913. Her trial before Judge Lucien F. Burpee had followed that of her paramour, James Plew, who was executed for the crime on March at the state prison at Wethersfield.
 Husband Was Killed.
 Mrs. Wakefield and Plew were charged with having killed the Wom- ans husband last June. The Wake fields were living in Bristol at the time. Plew worked on a farm near Waterbury and was a frequent visitor at the Wakefield home.
 The evidence indicated that on a Sunday afternoon when Plew called, he started a. dispute with Wakefield. according to a plan that had been arranged by himself and the wife be- forehand. The woman and her para mour then, the evidence showed, chloroformed Wakefield and Plew dragged him from the house and for several miles into the woods north of Cheshire, killing him.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Anxiety
over the fate of the Americans now In
Mexico was increased today by the
receipt of q press dispatch from Vera
Cruz, stating that the United States
flag had been trampled upon in a
demonstration at the Mexican capital.
It is feared that the weapons secretly
gathered by the American colonists
in that city for tbs defense OF its
members have been seized by Huerta'
soldiers following the coafiscation OF
the machine guns and ammunition at
the American embassy.
The navy department early today
made public this statement from Ad-

in Mexico City, following the receipt
of the news there of the landing of
United States marines at Vera Cruz.
Americans Report.
AT 10 D. M, Thursday, following
statement by Americans from Mexico
City:
First news of the landing received
about noon Tuesday, and there was
much alarm followed by reports in the
newspaper Ell impartial. The report
not confirmed until 4 p. m. In the
afternoon news was circulated that
General Huerta would accede to the
demands of the United States. Later
General Huerta received the local re-
porters and correspondents and an
nounced that he had definitely refused
the demands of the United States. In
spite of this, general opinion was
some time would elapse before any
definite break in diplomatic relations
would occur.
Tuesday afternoon, after news of
the landing, demonstrations were
made largely by students and clerks

TRAINED LOCAL MAN READY
To RECRUIT WAR COMPANY

Richmond and Wayne county men
who have been honorably discharged
from the United States army. after
serving their enlistments, have given
their approval to a call issued yester-
day from the national headquarters
of an organization of former regular
service veterans, to be prepared to Of
fer their services to the government
in the event of an extensive campaign
in Mexico is undertaken
There are enough former army men
in this county to compose company
at full war strength, $50 men. and the
big majority of them arc ready to re-
turn to the colors at first call.
Men who have served in the regular
army and in the national guards are
preferred over green troops and Will
have first call from the federal gov
eminent, it is understood, in the
event of an invasion of Mexico.
New Reserve Law.
In 1912 the new army reserve law
went into effect This provides that
when a man enlists in the army he
must serve three years with the col
ors," which means in active service,
and four years in the reserve. While
on reserve a man is not required to
perform actual service in any branch
of the army, but in the event of war
he must return to the colors. Men
who enlisted prior to 1912 and have
since been discharged are not on the
reserve and the creation of a reserve
army of former regular army men
cannot be undertaken until next year,
when the three year enlistments Of
men recruited in 1912 begin to expire.
The local recruiting office, in the
Colonial block, has been visited by a
large number of former army men the
past few days and all of the men who
hs7a called on Corporal Abbott, in
charge of the office, have informed
him that when the formal call for vol
u.teers comes they will be ready for
active service again.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Thirty.
five hundred soldiers of the regular
army, under command of General
Frederick Funston, will sail from Gal.
weston at 5 o'clock this afternoon for
Vera Cruz, pursuant to orders from
the war department. The troops will
sail in four transports and Mallory
Line steamer, chartered for the pur-
pose.
Between four and five thousand reg.
ular troops began entraining at the
Preside, San Francisco, at daybreak,
bound for the Texas border to
strengthen the patrols along the front
Ter They will proceed to Fort Bliss,
from which point they will be appor'

an army a few miles from Vera Cruz,
and thai General Banquet, Huerta S
minister of war, is rushing with troops
to unite with those under the COM
mand of Mas in great attack on
the comparatively small force OF ma
rines at Vera Cruz, is believed to have
fastened this, the first definite war
move taken by the administration.
The landing of armed land forces can
not be construed otherwise than as
an act of war.

President Wilson gives the word. He

Thousands Ready.
Thousands of young men all over
the country have been trained for SOL
diers by the government in these acad-
emies and Uncle Sam will expect
their services in the event of war In
fact, graduates of these academies
are virtually under reserve for the
purpose of supplying trained officers
of hostilities," this Richmond man
stated. II have a list of nearly fifty
men residing in this city, all under
the age of IS years, who have had
government training in military acad-
emies and because of the thorough
training they have received, almost as
complete as the training at West
Point, their services would be eagerly
desired by the war department if we
go across the border for real bust
ness
Green officers for green troops are
not desirable. Trained officers for
volunteers would soon shake down
such regiments and make them effec-
tive units of the army. There is no
better fighting man in the world than
the American volunteer, but he must
have good officers to command him.
The government realized that fact in
the Spanish war. 1t will be remem
bered that that war was practically
over, won by the regulars and a few
