ket street, who also is a defendant in

Il understand you are one of the
men who is taking money paid your
wife by Agent Stout and making back
payments with it, The court can not
and will not permit such condition.
If this sort of thing we're allowed, a
fraud would be practiced against nom
support legislation. I am advised
that you are bricklayer, making
$3.50 a day. Why have you not made
payments to Mr.. Stout, in accordance
with the courts order?

At J.F. BIGGS' FARM

Fire yesterday afternoon destroyed

er, at Summit Bridge.
The ricks of long fodder we're lo-
Gated between the farm buildings and
big stacks of straw. The fodder
stacks blazed fiercely. Fortunately,
the wind drove the flames away from
the farm buildings and all were saved
except one shed. They also saved the
straw stacks
All the fodder was consumed, the
loss being several hundred dollars.
The chemical engine of the Middle
town Fire Company went to the Biggs'
farm, and many people from the sur
rounding country also fiocked to the
farm to assist in fighting the flames.
The fodder was pulled down into the
flames to burn more readily and save
the buildings and the straw nearby,
and part of the shed that was burned
also was pulled down.

Prince of Germany proceeded to give
his first interview in English

whole business, all OF this action that
you see around here, is senseless, un-

From the lowest to the highest we all

istence. l know that soldiers Of the
other nations probably say, and a
great many of the probably think the
same thing. This does not alter the
fact, however, that We are actually
fighting for our national life.
"Since we knew that the present
war was TO be forced on us. il be-
came our highest duty to anticipate
the struggle by every necessary and
possible preparation for the defense
of the Fatherland against the iron
ring which our enemies have for
years been carefully and steadily
welding about us wherewith to
crush u.s. The fact that we
were prepared to defend ourselves
is now being used as an argument in
an attempt to convince the world
that we not only wanted this con-
hict, but that we are responsible for
it.
NO power on earth will ever be
able to convince our people that this
war was not engineered solely and
wholly with a view 10 crushing the
German people. their government.
their institutions and all that they
hold dear. AS a result you will find
the German people are one grand
unit imbued with a magnificent spirit
of self-sacrifice."

Ell PASO, Tex, Nov. 30-General
Felipes Angeles, chief lieutenant OF villa
is on route to Mexico City today with
an infantry division with instructions
to protect the foreign legations. villa
ordered Angeles to the capital when the
latter returned to 1ula after capturing
Guadalaiara, but dispatches early today
say that Villa himself has not yet de-
cided to enter Mexico City at once.
The Zapata forces in Mexico City
sent a special train and delegation
to Tula Sunday TO escort Villa to the
capital Their plans called for his
triumphal entry into the city today,
but for some reason the northern
leader delayed his departure. 1t was
reported among Villista officials at
Juarez today that Villa, instead of en-
tering the capital, may decide to move
at once against General Pablo Con
zales, who is reported to have repu-
dated both Carranza and the Aguas
Calientes convention. and to have de-
clared himself the Provisional Presi-
dent of Mexico.
The Aguas Calientes convention is
taking no chances with Zapata. 1t
was learned today. Gertrudis Can
chez, villa leauer, mas Deeh ap-
pointed to command the State OF
Guerrero, Zapata's stronghold, and
General Juan Banderas, Zapata's sec
ond in command has been placed in
command in Sinaloa, northwestern
Mexico. The convention plans TO put
villa officers over territory now held
by Zapata and send Zapatista OIL
oials into remote States.
General Alberto Carrera Torres to-
day reported a victory in battle
with Carranzistas at Tamos, nine
miles from Tampico.
