day when the delegation representing
General Huerta formally addressed to
the South American mediators a note

this the Huerta delegates expressed

Of the mediation because the interna-
tfonal side Of the controversy had been
adjusted and calling attention to the
correspondence with General Carranza
in which he asked for more time to

The Huerta delegates replied in two
separate communications. one setting
forth their own approval and gratifi-
cation at the amicab BILE settlement of
the international conflict, and the
other intended for transmission to the
cOnstitutionalists, exp1otning in effect

The disposition OF the American
forces now at Vera Cruz has been left
for consideration until such time az the
two factions agree on the new pro-
v1sfOnal government. While the pro-
tocols already signed cover many
phases OF the international situation it
is generally Iecognixad that until pro-

Search for Motive.
In searching for a motive for the
murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey in the
office of DR.. Edwin Carman, the police
have been working on two theories
One is that a lunatic killed Mrs. Bailey
when shooting at Doctor Carman. The
other theory Is that a woman fired the
shot.
Doctor Carman has served upon many
lunacy Commissions in Freeport. and
the police believe some person who was
committed to an asylum through his
missed his aim. $

She went on to explain that she be-
lieved her husband was too friendly
with a woman he sometimes employed
as a nurse, and that she had seen him
kissing this woman and had disturbed
them by knocking at the window. The
machine was installed on May 25, be-
ing placed behind a book case in the
physicians office while he was away
on an automobile trip taken at his
wifes suggestion. Last Thursday Mrs.
Carman had asked for information as
to how the machine might be SO ad-
justed as to transmit whispered con-
versations. Most of the conversation
between the doctor and his women
patients, she said, was in whispers. She
was supplied with more batteries for
this purpose.
Whether or not the shot which kill
ed Mrs. Bailey was intended for her
or for DR.. Carman is still a mystery.

Mexico City, Mex, Oct 5.-Many OF
the largest mines in the country have
been forced to close down because OF
the inability to obtain cyanide and the
refusal of bankers here to buy foreign
exchange. The foreign exchange sit
uation, representative mining men say,
is the worst in fifty years.
General Candida Aguilar is prepar,

zistas there have erected triumphal
arch for him. There are persistent
rumors that Carranza will stop trains
running from Mexico City to Vera

Despite the armistice announced be-
tween Villa and Carranza, Governor
Maytorena has attacked General Hill

fighting.

It is for them to explain how these

The Bible View of Sin Atenement.
The Pastor then explained at length
the Scriptural view of Sin Atonement.
According to Gods Word, sin Is viola
ton of Divine Law and the penalty is
death. Adam was created perfect and
sinless Obedience to Divine Law was
required of him as the price Of ever
lasting life. Disobedience brought upon
him the death sentence. His race was
in his loins when he sinned and thus
by heredity share his death penalty.
But God in mercy provided way for
mans relief AS the first man alone
had sinned actually, so one Redeemer
only would be necessary for the entire
race. THE Man Christ Jesus gave
Himself a Ransom for all.-Adam's
posteritsy. He antityped the bullock of
-IsraeEs Atopement DaE-and also -ths
priest who slew the bullock because
He offered Himself up. Applying His
merit to the Household of Faith-an-
titypical Levites-He then began &
work little understood by any.
This has been the gathering of the
Elect class, composed Of both Jews and
Gentiles. their sacrifices being typi6ed
by the Lerd;s scat on the Atonement
Day. Very soon this work Of sin
Atonement will be completed, and the
second effusion of blood upon the Mer-
ey Seat made '.for all the people"

WAR LOSSES PLACED
AT $4,000 men
Startling Figures From Reput
able French Source.

New York, Oct. "a letter received
BY a New York physician from re-
putable source in France contains the
startling information that the french
losses (killed, wounded and prisoners)
for the six weeks OF fghting, up TO
and including the battle OF the Marine,
were slightly over 100000. perhaps
10000, exclusive of the English loss
es, which, the writer says, have been
fairly large in comparison to inc
small number of their engaged army.
If credence may be placed in the
French statements that in most cases
the German losses were greater than
those sustained by the French II
would seem to be fair estimate OF
the German losses in killed, wounded
and prisoners for the same six weeks
at close to 500. 900 men in the western
theater of war alone, not taking into
account their losses in the fighting
against the Russians.
