of suspending the executions and Civ
ing some federals an opportunity TO
join their cause. Zapata, now at
Cuernavaca, is represented as opposed
TO that as is General Palefox, minister
of the interior, in the Gutierrez cab
met, and Spokesman for Zapata.
Compromise Being Suggested
A compromise is being suggested
whereby former tederals would be
given fair trials. They also would be
prohibited from joining the Gutierrez
Wills army. The American government
has found that both Guitjerrez and
Villa look with favor on its sugges.
tion for general amnesty for political
offenders but that the Zapata element
seems irreeoneilably opposed TO it.
The situation is expected to develop
further at the national convention call
ed for January l. in Mexico City, when
new provisional president would be
chosen.
Only meagre advices are in the pos.
session of the State Department as to
the military activity of the Carranza
forces, but the latest dispatches say
the Zapata forces nave advanced to
Soledad, near Vera Cruz, and in CO.
operation with Villa forces operating
IN the vicinity OF Tuxpam, are driving
the Garranza troops to the southeastern
portion of Mexico.
Adviees from Consul Canada to-day
said Thomas Braniff. who went from
Washington with credentials from
Rafael Zubasan Cammanv TO discuss
measures of peace with Carranza, has
been rearrested at Vera Cruz. He had
been taken into custody on mis- arrival
but was at once released on representa-
tions from CoIsul Canada.
Statement Issued by Carranza Agency
Washington. Dee. 2S.-The Carranza
agency here to-day published the fol-
lowing telegram received from Carranza
representatives gt Galveston:
Semi-officiali reports here, although
not confirmed, say that. due to lack of
communications, the Villa forces are
evacuating Mexico City. 1t is believed
they are DONG this on account of the
CRYING need of forces in the north to
save lines of communication and to pre-
vent Torreon, chihuahua and Juarez
from being captured. Villa would pre-
fer to engage in battle outside of the
capital with Carranza s army of 100,-
600 men. lying between here and Mexi-
co City
Eulaiio Gutirrez. through COM
has authorized Antonio |. Val
lareal, president of the now extinct
Aguascalientes convention, to accept his
resignation as Provisional President
and to notify Carranza that his services
will be at the orders of the first chief.
The whereabouts of Gutierrez are
now not definitely known, but it is be-
lieved he is making his way toward
San Luis Potosi This action on the
part of Gutierrez. which is being fol-
lowed by many of his subordinates, is
thought to account in part also for Viii
las hurried concentration in the north.
1T was officially reported to the
War Department that half of the Tor
reou garrison, which is enveloped by
loyal forces, has revolted against Villa
and is fighting the other half in the
name of Carranza.

it may also be deemed advisable to
make a division in the latter class.
During the week steps we're taken
towards the reorganizations of the col
lege band, orchestra and choir. These
organizations last year attained a re-
markable proficiency and the work of
reconstruction will be a difficult one.
Although graduation has depleted
each organization, a wealth of new
material assures the college that this
year will find it's musical department
up to the standard of former years.
The formation of choir is probably
the most difficult task that confronts
DR.. Dress. The choir, which has ap-
peared in sacred concert in all the
principal cities of the state, is not
picked until every student has been
given thorough test, which takes up
the greater part of two months. How
ever, by the time set for the spring
tour the choir will be rounded into
form and gives promise of being bet
ter than ever.

TO THE EDITOR
NUMBER OF BOOKS IN THE BIBLE
Catholic Bulletin:

Editor, Catholic Bulletin:
With pleasure | read the instruc-
tive poem on the Catholic Bible pub
lished in the issue of September 10.
In the first line of said poem is stated:
'The Bible books are seventy-three."
With many of the lovers of the sacred
scripture prefer the number of books
of the Bible to be given 72, because
this number indicates better the prov
idential wisdom of God, and the scho-
lar can easier keep in memory the
number of books of the New Tesla
ment as we'll as of the Old and the
sum total. The number 70 was reach
ed in the poem by counting the Lamen-
tations of Jeremias the prophet as
a separate book, although the sor-
rowful mysteries of our Lord and the
Blessed Virgin are predicted as well
in the prophetical books as in the
Lamentations; only the alphabetical
arrangement of the Lamentations be-
ing different from the main part of
the prophecy.
Now, the holy number 8, indicat-
ing the Blessed Trinity, is marvellous
ly represented in the number of books
of the New Testament for us Chris
tians. 3X3X3=27, the number of
books of the New Testament. 27
(2+D=9 or (3X3).
2 being the number for the 2 Tes-
taments, you have for the Old:
(2+3l=5X3X3=45; As (4+5)=9 or
-(3x3).
(2+3+3)=Sx3X3=72; 70 (7+2)=9
or (3X3) sum total.
How easily student can remem-
Der these figures.
How admirable is God even in re-
gard to numbers!
Given for consideration by
Yours sincerely,
F. T.
