What Old Caesar Did.

We reprint the following from one
of our exchanges, the author Of
which is not known, but it is worth
your time to read:
When Caesar took an eastward
ride and grabbed the Gauls for
Rome, what was the first thing that
he did to make them feel at home?
Did he increase the peoples loads
and liberty forbid? No, he dug in
and built good roads-that's what
old Caesar did.
Did Caesar put the iron heel upon
the foeman's breast, or did he try to
make them feel that Roman rule
was best? What did he do to make
them glad he'd come their midst
amid? He built good roads in place
of bad-that's what old Caesar did.
He built good roads from hill to
hill, good roads from vale to vale:
he ran a good roads movement till
old Rome got all the kale. He told
the folks to buy a home, built roads
their hills amid, until all roads led
right to Rome-that's what old
Caesar did.
If any town would make the town
the center of the map, where folks
will come and settle down and live
in plenty's lap, if any town, its own
abode of poverty would rid, let Il
get out and build good roads-just
like old Caesar did

Surrounding Federal
Stronghold.
GENERAL vELAsC0 TO RESIST
Position of Huerta's Commander
Regarded as I'm
pregnable.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES headquarters.
Yermo, Mex, March 21.-General
Villa and his army of $4,000 rebels
yesterday invested the federal
stronghold of Torreon.
The khaki clad rebels reached the
environs of the city without oppo-
sition and yesterday was spent in
wheeling the field pieces into posi-
tion to shell the federal trenches,
which have been dug at every point
where the federal commander, Gen.
Refugio Velasco, expects an attack.
His army is estimated to number
5000 men. South and southwest of
the city his position is regarded as
almost impregnable by reason of the
mountains, through which only
three passes run, and these have
been rendered almost impossible by
Notifications and barbed wire en-
tanglements. In other directions the
city is reached through the desert
and high hills.
Villas recent progress has been
slow because it was necessary to re-
pair the railroad tracks and bridges.
Yesterday morning, however, the
road was open from Yermo, where
the troops have been mobilizing, to
Mapimi and Bermejillo, which are
only few miles north of Torreon,
and are virtually suburbs of that
city.
At the two cities after suffering
long hours in the box cars where
they were stuffed like figs in box
and with but scanty supply of wat
err, the troops detrained and formed
in columns in the intense heat.
There was little loss of time in
plunging into the desert, some
mounted and others on foot. Great
clouds of fine desert dust marked
their progress over hummocks of
cacti-crowned sand and through dry
water courses. Great tank wagons
laden with the water supply, which
was Villas greatest problem, rum
bled in the train, the wheels at
times almost hub deep in the sand.
In these emergencies branches of
the tough mesquite bush and SOAP
weed were matted under the wheels.
sturdy poems put hands to the
spokes, there were streams of pro-
family addressed to mules in a
language said to be in this respect
the most adequate in the world, and
the columns would proceed.
The lips of the few foreigners in
the army were cracked and swollen
from the heat and alkali dust, but
the Mexicans, trained to such con-
ditions, covered their mouths with
folds of their blankets and Jared
better. All eyes were bloodshot.
In this way, amid all the suffer-
ing which the harshest waste of arid
land in Mexico can furnish, the out
skirts of Torreon were reached.
There was no opposition, and Gen.
eral Villa stated that there has been
none since he began to repair the
railroad south of Jiminez.

upon the station, with considerable
damage to the tracks.
The airship by that time had been
discovered by the German search
lights. and all the field guns and NOR
tars in the neighborhood were aimed
at it. The sky was ablaze with burst
ing shells. some coming dangerously
near. BY throwing over all the avail
able ballast, the airship's crew was en-
abled to rise rapidly. AS a depart

charge of dynamite. Just then some
thing went wrong which threatened
tho airship with instant destruction.
The dynamite charge got stuck in the
tube.
The automatic detonator already
had been set in motion. The captain
seized Ratchet and climbed over the

blows at the tube, at the risk Of his
life, and released the charge, saving
