VILLA HEADS new
REVOLUTION; PLANS
TO TAKE CAPITAL
Reported Marching on Quet-
etaro After Having Inflict-
ed Defeat on Carranza' S
Forces.

JUAREz, Mex, Nov 12.-wlth pre-
liminary battle between Carranzistas and
Villa forces already having been fought
with sanguinary results. and General
Villa reported here 60 be marching on
Queretaro with force of $1,000 picked
veterans, leaders of both sides today ad-
mitted that all signs pointed to anothe,
revolution being added to Mexico's long
history of internecine conflicts.
Fighting which stopped with nghtfall
last night at Leon. where Carranza' s
forces were routed, was resumed in desu
tory fashion, 1t was reported today, be-
tween the pursuing Villa troops and the
fleeing rear guard Of Carranzlstas.
With majority of the generals of the
Aguascalientes peace conference on his.
side, General Villa, with few of his most
trusted loutcnants has quietly prepared
to lead revolution, which his friends
say will end either in his triumphal entry
into Mexico City or his complete ellmina-
tiou from the Mexican situation.
Consul General Rafael Musquiz, the
Carranaa official at El Paso, today an
nounccd through agents here that Villa
had issued a widespread appeal through
out the north and west on all citizens TO
arm i'm his cause. II was considered as
significant that Musquiz, in declaring AL
the south and east is loyal to CarranHa
i'm his manifesto made no such claims re-
garding the north and west.

no one will speak to the contrary and say

reason why they call him king of Ho-

Not excluding Samuel Gompers, every

WASHINGTON ABANDONS
HOPE OF EARLY PEACE
Conditions in Mexico Cause Change in

WASHINGTON. Nov. l2.-PraetlcalIy
all hope of immediate peace in Mexico
was abandoned today by Administration
officials Unofficial reports Of an open
declaration of war by the Villistas against
Carranza's faction of the Constitutional
lists forced upon this Government another
period of "watchful waiting"
Thought Of early American evacuation
Of Vera Cruz was also abandoned today.
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
awaited advices from United States
agents in Mexico before taking any de-
cisve step in the Mexican outbreak. In
all official quarters. however, sentiment
was expressed that evacuation of Vera
Cruz would be impossible until the issue
of the new warfare is settled and some
new rovsional president definitely estab-
lishtd.
y Re-establishment OF the embargo
against shipment OF munitions 10 either
faction in Mexico was thought likely to-
day,
The Administration. however, still had
hopes that further negotiations would en-
sue to shorten the conflict.

gink who believes in opportunities, which
sometimes come to him, but more often,
does he have to glum a rattler and go
after il. Dictionaries, books and re-
formers have all given the public wrong
impression of the hobo. Hobos will work,
If given the opportunity. The tramp
doesn't"
Here JEFF was asked to explain the
subtle distinction between tramp" and
a hobo" Jen replied:
"a tramp Is a mutt who believes the
world owes him q living instead of an
opportunity and beats it around at the
expense of society. He soon stumbles on
the road of life and becomes what Is
known as n bum. A hobo's philosophy Is
that the world owes him an opportunity
instead OF a living. A hobo is more
philosophic. He believes in society A
tramp does not consider himself part
of society, despises society and would do
anything against .Hociety.
MANY folks refer to the hobo as a
bum, especially well-known writer's. That
is why the hoboes organize in order to
force recognition of their real position In
society. A bum is poor bloke what's
on the ash dump of society. He couldn't
work II he wanted to. He is either n
victim of drink. dope disease or has been
a tramp or criminal in his young days
GREAT ARMY OF TRAVELLERS.
"There Is no hope for the bum. There
are in the United States of America about
100000 buns. There are 100000 tramps. or
hobos there are 100000. They are casual,
migratory, off-and-on workers, This is
why there was split in the hobos' or
ganizatlon four years ago at New Orleans.
The millionaire hobo, j. Eads How. was
bound to mix the three together, notwith-
standing the hoboes' RESENTMENT Hoboes
prefer to choose their company. During
the last five years the conventions held
by the Hoboes of America have been dis
tinct from outside interference on the
part of anarchists or /. w. w. men, the
hoboes claiming that they had a hard
enough time keeping out Of jail instead
of breaking into it,

MINERS RESCUED
FROM LIVING TOMB
AFTER TO HOURS
Heroic Work of Comrades
Rewarded and NJ e n
Brought to Surface Amid
Scenes of Hysterical Joy.

POTTSVGLLE, Pa, Nov. 12.-After be-
ing entombed for more than 70 hours in
the workings of the Brookslde collery, at
Tower City, William Schreiner, aged 46
years, and William Evans, aged 45 years,
were today rescued alive when they had
given up all hope of ever seeing daylight
again, and when the exhausted rescue
force themselves expected to find only
their bodies.
While working at "robbng pillars"
about 10 o'clock last Monday morning,
there was sudden rush of coal and de-
bris which entirely closed up the gang
way. Several hours later, when the men
could not be accounted for, an investlga-
tion was made and IL was found they
were entombed.
Many volunteers pleaded to be placed
on the rescue force and relays were kept
steadily at work.
This morning about o'clock the men
were reached behind a heavy fall"
alive, but weak from their terrible ordeal.
For the last hour that the rescuers tun-
neled through hundreds of tons of loose
stuff" exceedingly dangerous work,
carefully timbering as they progressed.
they were cheered by 'rappings" behind
the barrier which they attacked, time
and again. with feverish haste, directed
by the best engineering skill of the Read
ing Coal and Iron Company
Schreiner insisted upon walking home,
but his companion was too weak and
gladly took advantage of the colliery
ambulance. Evans whose condition is
the most serious, is in no immediate
danger. Physicians say both men will
be ready for work again by next week.
At the mouth of the shaft as the en-
tombed men came to the surface there
was hysterlcal joy manifested by rela-
tlves of the men, who hours before had
given them up for dead.
