DICE Ell CoRoNEL REPINGToN.

El coronel Repington, redactor mill
tar de 1.-The Times" ha publicado un
articulo que esta siendo objeto de mu-
cho concentrates Dice asi:
"No hace mucho tempo que nues-
tro corresponsal EN- Conpenhague anun-
ciaba que la tiota alemana mostraba
actividad, a la vez que un corresponsal
de "The Daily Mail, que habla visi-
tado algunos puertos alemanes del

estaba embarcando tropa Ell transpor-
tes de guerra.
Pues bien; ahora dicen de Zeebrugge
(Iolanda) que hay reunidos una gran
cantidad de buques pianos, movidos 4

Esos buques pudieran pasar por una
zona de minaS sin tOcarlas. Tambien
el que ha dado esas noticias informa-
ba que en- ese momento habla perdido

ralmente, a deducir que ha estado pre-

Desde luego que Sc trata de una

Con una fota superior { intacta, con
todas nuestras 4lotillas reunidas de

fuerzas de TERRA que nosotros tenemos,
todas las probabilidades de 6xito para
los alemanes quedan completamente
descartadas.
Esto es 10 que creemos.
Sin embargo, estimamos que, dadas
las alternatives los azares numerosos
de la guerra moderna, la aventura ale

como parece.
Al aceptar que Sc prepara semejan-

The Kind That Wins.


In fair competition lies the true
sport Of good business. There is no
calling, no profession, or occupation.
equal to it for absorbing interest and
endless succession Of exciting Incl
dent But it should be that kind OF
a healthy competition and friendly
rivalry that does not strain neigh
borly relations. On the contrary, It
should tend to bring those men to-
gether who are engaged in a similar
business for the purpose Of free dis
cussion and publicity Of opinion.
Unfortunately, this does not often
occur. Men engaged in a like busi-
ness sometimes get too friendly, COM
bine their interests, and form a COM
bination, contrary to the laws Of the
realm.
others enter into a bitter personal
conflict with each other, endeavoring
with might and main to throw ignom-
my upon and disrespect for the house
Of their competitors and their goods.
The intensity Of the competitive
struggle is subject to a great deal Of
variation. At times II may be char
acterized as cut-throat, where the
slashing Of prices has for its object
the elimination Of one or more Of
the contestants. Each competitor is
confronted by the ever-present threat
that II his service is poor, or the
quality OF his goods is not I'D to the
standard, some other house Of bust
ness viii outstrip him. But the house
that considers service, high quality
and no more than a fair profit as the
paramount factors in business. is the
one that in the long run is sure to win.

Refugee travel has turned tide and
the Mexican Central is carrying a num-
Der of American and other foreign re-
fugees TO Chihuahua, Torreon and Par
raj each day. A number of Chihuahua
smeItermen are planning to leave for
the state capital this week Another
crowd Of Parral mining men will also
leave this week and it is expected that
the Torreon smelter will be reopened
and all of the smelter employees and
officials here will return by that time
No new development work is to be done
in northern Mexico but the mines, mills
and shelters are to be reopened since
the officials are assured Of protection
A L LathrOp, general manager Of
the MADEIRA mills, who is here, says that
the "Constitutionalists are affordin z
his company and its property every
possible protection and that there has
not been the least disturbance in the
Pearson MADEIRA district for many
months.
Ranchers and cattlemen in the Casas
Grandes districts are also preparing to
restock their ranches and plant crops.
A representative OF the Casas Grandes
settlers has just returned from a con-
ference with Carranza and Villa and
was assured that everything would be
done to give the settlers guarantees Of
safety in western Chihuahua.

Subsecretary of Foreign Re

Veracruz, Mex, July 13.-Gen- Huerta

once in order to save his country from
further horrors Of war and the capital
from capture, according 10 Roberto
Estava-Ruiz, Mexican subsecretary Of
foreign affairs, who reached Neracruz
Sunday on his way to Europe. He said
Huerta would resign in favor Of Fran

time comes for some other president

will lay down his power during the
coming week.
CarbajaI. he added. was suggested as
provisional president by the American
delegation at the Niagara Falls medi-
alton conference and agreed to by
auerta's delegates and the South Amer
lean mediators while the "Constitu-
tionalists" had indirectly conveyed the
idea that he would be acceptable to
Carranza-

that Carbajal would be a mere pro-

would recognize any provisional presi-
dent until demands for the redistri-

a solution Of Mexico's problem might
come from certain parts OF the north

Like Porfirio Diaz, who fled from his
country in the hope that his going
might avert a long and costly civil
war, Huerta- according to Esteva-Ruiz, I
decided TO yield TO superior numbers
Both Huerta and Gen. Banquet, his
