Rocky Ford enterprise., 1914-04-24

To the uttermost recesses OF the nation
the news was flashed on Monday morning
that General Huerta, head of the Mexican
federal government. had ignored Presi-
dent Wilson'S demand to wipe out the
insult to this nation by . gun salute to
the American flag. and as result the
United States army and navy we're mob
ilizing upon the borders of Mexico under
instructions to close all Mexican ports Of
entry.
Close upon this order to the American
forces came the news on Tuesday that
actual hostilities had commenced with
the troubled republic by the occupation
of the Mexican port of Vera Cruz. Rear
Admiral Fletcher. in command of the
United States warships. prefaced his oc-
cupation of the port by demand through
American Consul Canada for its surren-
der. This was promptly refused by the
Mexican general. ana about noon land
ing was effected by the American mar
ines. No opposition was offered until the
blueilckets neared the main plaza, when
their advance was challenged by the
Mexican general with d voley of shots
which were at onee replied to by the
marines. The hostilities thus commenced
continued until nightfall when the Mexi
can garrison was in retreat leaving the
American forces in occupation Of the
port.
This first act of reprisal against the
Huerta governmentcos the United States
the lives of four marines and the wound
ing Of 20 others. while the Mexican loss
was estimated at 200 killed.
Since then the most momentuous news
from the troubled republic was that Cen
eral Carranza. head of the constitution
alist government, had gotten his back up
over the seizure of Vera Cruz, Mexico,
and had asked President Wilson to sus-
pend hostile operations and withdraw the
United States forces pending inquiry of
the Huerta offenses by the constitutional
ist government
This makes it apparent that coalition
Of rebel and federal forces is impending
and that Uncle Sam will have to lick all
Mexico before they'll be good.
Colorado Has Its Own Trouble
Overshadowing even the nations war
news to the people of Colorado was the
news that trouble had again broken out
in the strike zone and was even more
disastrous in toll of human lives than the
first skirmish with the Mexicans had been
to the Americans.
As tersely reported 1t appears that at
O'Clock on Monday morning. as few
membsrs of the state militia stationed at
Ludlow were leading their horses to
water they were fired upon by number
of Greek strikers under the leadership of
Louie the Creek
With the first voley Private Martin of
Denver fell dead. From that moment
until midnight ths bloodiest battle IN the
history of Colorado ragged around Ludlow
and when the strikers were finally driven
back the tent colony had been burned to
the ground. trapping and smothering
women and children who had taken ref
uge in caves covered by the tents. The

Writing in the London Times as to
the effect upon the earth If the gigan-
tic star Sirius were ais near to US as is
our own sun. Mr.. Scriven Belon says
that the change that would overcome
land and sky would transcend every
thing hitherto dreamed of. In the
heavens would be poised brilliant
globe twenty-five times larger than
the sun appears to us. emitting for
millions of miles into space gigantic
fire rays and coronal streamers. Bom-
barded by terrible heat, the earth
would become red hot, it's atmosphere
dissipated, its vegetal covering erased,
its ocean basins turned into barren
wastes, while iron would flow like wa
ter. The distance from us of Sirius,
the brightest of the fixed stars. is so
great that its rays require eight and
half years to reach us. notwithstand-
ing that light travels 10000 miles a
second. Sirius travels through space
at 1000 miles minute.
