WAR IN
MEXIC0'S HISTORY
Is NOW AWAITED

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)
huahua and Sonora are concentrated.
Although Carrarza has the advan-
tage Of controlling the capital, Villas
big army is equipped for a long, vigO-
rOus war. The soldiers OF the former
bandit are loyal to him while Car
rama is believed to have no general
on his staff equal TO Villa from
standpoint of strategic ability.
Within the past As hours, according
TO reports, more than 1000 rifles,
half a dozen machine guns. and
100000 rounds of ammunition have
been sent across the border, cOnsign-
ed to Villas headquarters.
CarranZa will probably be able to
command the use of a large section
of the federal army, which had fought
for Huerta. Villa can raise an army
of between 10000 and $4,000 men, if
not more.
Report Zacatecas Seized.
An American who came from Juar-
ez says
1T is reported in Juarez that an
army OF 10000 Carranzistas have
seized the city of Zacatecas, and are
terrifying the city, This would put
"a tremendous obstacle in Villas adj
vance south toward the capital, as
Zacatecas is on the national railway
line, the chief line Of communication
southwark from TorreOn."
Villa has recalled 400 soldiers
from Guzman. AS the troops from
Guzman arrived in Juarez they were
switched from the tracks of the
Mexican Northwestern railway 10 the
tracks of the National railway and
rushed toward Chihuahua city with
out rest OF the men or of their
horses.
Gen. Obregon, who was arrested
by Gen. Villa and then released. IS
being kept under close scrutiny. Villa
has been in communication with his
trusted chiefs throughout the north
for some time. and all were prepared
for the declaration of war. This was
proved by the fact that a number of
them posted prOclamatiOns Of revolt
at the same time that Villa proclaim
ed war against Carranza.

MUST PROSECUTE TO
PROTECT PARKS SAYS
SUPT. ARTHUR PERLEY

The police department is searching
for a gang of hoodlums who are al
legged to have destroyed valuable
castings on water fountains and TO
have damaged extensively several
buildings in Coquillard park. The
complaint is lodged by Arthur p.
Perley, park superintendent who
claims that he will prosecute any one
found who is suspected of the crime.
Mr.. Perley stated TO the police de-
partment that the parks of the city
had suffered greatly through the past
weeks on account Of the same things
that happened at Coquillard park.
Prosecution and a strict watch over
the parks themselves, said Mr.. Perley,
would stop to some extent the depre-
dations which have been committed in
the city.

Everybody is Willing to Go"

Something Of the bravery and for

sOrrows OF those who ara not on the
firing line yet who must bear a great
share OF the burdens Of the world
war IS CLEANED from a letter received
in this city Wednesday by Andrew
Schwarz. GA Oak st.
The letter Is written By a niece OF
Mrs. Schwarz, Mrs. Karl Haag OF
GOeppingen, Germany, whose hus-
band, man OF 5 years is without
doubt by this time in the ranks Of the
kalser'S army, since he belonged 10
that class of reserVists known as the
'landwehr", which has been called in
TO service since the letter received
here was writtel, Aug. q.
The ordinary course of mail from
Germany takes about - days for
transmission, but this letter was de-
layed nearly a month and when il
reached here was unsealed, having
been opened by the military censOrs.
tnasmuch as the letter was in a great
measure personal, there were no
visible deletions by the censor.
Reflects Calm Spirit.
Although written in the midst of
exciting scenes on the very outskirts
OF the backgrounds where each day
sees the fresh arrival Of wounded sol
diers and prisoners and the departure
of fresh reserves for the front. and by
a woman who fully expected TO be
called upon to care for herself and
her two children while her young hus-
band is helping fight the battle of the
'fatherland" the letter reflects a calm
courage which is characteristic of the
manner in which German women are
making their sacrifice.
Mrs. Haag begins her letter by re-
ferring TO the bOuntiful crops
throughout the country this year.
