The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1914-06-25

As NO looked over the top he ex-
ploded in an oath and jerked Copper
Bottom back on his launches. The
leader of a long line Of horsemen was
Just coming up the other side-there
was no escape-and then back at the
frightened girl.
Keep behind me-" he commanded.
'and don't shoot. I'm going to hold
'em up!"
He jumped his horse out to one side
and landed sQuarely on the rim Of the
ridge. Gracia drew her horse in be-
hind him and reached for the pistol in
her holster; then both together they
drew their guns and Bud threw down
on the first man.
60 on!" he ordered, motioning him
forward with his head; "pr-r-ronto!"
He jerked out his rifle with his left
hand and laid 1t across his lap.
Hurry up now" he ragged, as the
startled Mexican halted. go on and
keep a going, and the first man that
makes a break I'll shoot him full of
holes!"
He sat like statue on his shining
horse, his six-shooter balanced to shoot,
and something in his very presence
the bulk of his body, the forward
thrust Of his head, and the burning
hate Of his eyes-quelled the spirits
OF the rebels. They were rag-tag
army, mounted on horses and donkeys
and mules and with arms Of every
known make.
1t was just such an army as was
overrunning all northern Mexico, such
an army as had been levying tribute
on the land for century. They spread
terror throughout all that great coun-
try south of the American border.
The fiery glances Of the American
made them cringe as they had always
cringed before their masters, and his
curses turned their blood to water. He
lowered above them like a giant, pour
ing forth torrent of oaths and beck
oning them on their way, and the lead
er was the first to yield.
With hand half-raised and Jaw on
his breast he struck spurs to his fright
ened mule and went dashing over the
ridge.
The others followed by twos and
threes, some shrinking, some protest
ing, some gazing forth villainously
from beneath their broad hats. AS they
looked back he whirled upon them and
swore he would kill the first man that
dared to turn his head.
After all, they were a generation Of
slaves, those low-browed, unthinking
poems, and war had not made them
brave. They passed on, the whole
line OF bewildered soldiery, looking in
vain for the men that were behind the
American, staring blankly at the beau.
tiful woman who sat 80 courageously
by his side
When the last had gone by Bud
picked up his rifle and watched him
around the point. Then he smiled
grimly at Gracia, whose eyes we're still
round with wonder, and led the way
down the trail

During Spanish American
War,

Washington, Sept. 16.-Democrats
Of the house ways and means commit
tee today began the preparation Of a
new war revenue bill with the propos-
ed tax on freight transportation elimi-
mated and designed to bring into the
treasury $1O5, $1,000. This was by
party caucus direction and with the
approval Of President Wilson.
The action Of the caucus, which was
enthusiastic throughout, in abandon
ing the proposed freight tax, it was
believed today, assured early congress
sional action on the bill. Decision
to eliminate the freight tax in the new
bill was reached because of the antag-
onism within the Democratic ranks,
and President Wilson's declaration
that he would not insist on THE plan.
The proposed bill will include the
Spanish stamp war stamp tax on leg
al papers, bills of lading, telegraph
and long distance telephone meas
ures;; the Spanish wal special taxes
on bankers. brokers, theatres and 9th
er amusement places, a levy of two

HOW allies
VIEW Peace
Slim Chances Now to Bring War
ring Nations Together.

London, Sept. 16.-French reports
from American peace talk coming
from Oscar Straus and Count Won
Bernstorff do nothing more here than
serve to- %accentuate the fact that uhe
allies are not willing to make peace
ait this time. They might entertain q
formal proposition of peace, but only
on terms which Germany could not &C
cept, Germany's view cannot be
learned, but, the attitude of the allies,
based on available information, is
here set forth:
Britain, it Is learned On high author
iay, wants this war to bring to an
end the race for armed superiority. 1t
also wants to eliminate the German
competition for mastery of the seas,
So that England may cut down Its own
fleet and end the mad rush for naval
supremacy. ST. s#
"a Demand Disarmament.
If the war ends in favor of the al
lies, it will be England's demand that
Germany's fleet be dismantled wheth'
er 1t has come out to fight in the
meantime or not.
1t is England's belief, as expressed
by numerous officials, that there is nc
hope of lasting European peace unless
Germany is thoroughly whipped. Mill
tarism, it is said, must be eliminated
in Europe and in this respect Ger
many, to the English mind, represents
milltarism. 1t is becoming obvious
that If Germany is whipped. the allies
will see to 1t that her Influence is
crushed. l. a.
Will Ask Territory.
Belgium, it is said, will make a de-
mand for, territory, in addition to an
indemnity tax. This is not official,
but a high authority states that the
growing feeling among the Belgian
populace probably will force a net un'
willing government to make demands
for slices Of Germany's Rhine pro-
vinces. 9..r -
Then France will want Alsace-Lor-
raine and possibly more Russia will
demand Poland, Italy and Servia will
want certain provinces of Austria,

The enemy delivered several counter
attacks, especially against the first

soothed to a certain extent by the re-
assuring statement from the general
staff that the German line is holding
out successfully against the offensive
movements Of the allies. So far as
the last "a hours are concerned. this
information agrees with news receiv-
ed in London, with the exception Of
that regarding the German left wing.
This part of the line, judging from
dispatches made public in London,
appears not only to have withdrawn
from the investment of Verdun, but
by permitting the relief of Troyon,
which is IL miles southeast Of Yer
dun, to have left itself only n line
of retreat. This is through the Ste
nay Gap, to reach .Luxemburg, or by
way of Longuyen and Longwy, to
reach .Thionville (Diodenhofen).

If the allies are able to prevent
the army of the crown prince from
using Metz as a base of operations,
it is felt in London that the German
left wing would be. in al serious a
situation as was its right last week.
Expert military observers in Petro-
grad have declared that the Russian
investment Of Koenigsberg and Gen
eral Rennenkampf's foray into East
Prussia were planned with the DELHI
crate intent Of. compelling: Germany
to sdetach some of her forces from
France to the relief of her East Prus,
sian frontier. In Petrograd. military
critics unite in characterizing this
maneuver as brilliantly successful;
SO much so, in fact, that the saliva
tion of the allied forces in the west
undoubtedly was due to Germany's
having sent several of her best army
corps to East Prussia.
Russians May Withdraw.
With this work apparently accom-
plished, it is being predicted in Eng
land today that the Russian forces in.

General Rennenkampf's army, will be

NARROW ESCAPE.
Man Caught in Car Of Lumber, When
Engine Bumped 1t.

jamestown, N. D., Sept. 16.-An'
drew Gubberard of Bloomer, Wis,
had a close call from fatal injury,
when he got caught in a car Of lum
her in the N. P. yards. His left foot
was badly bruised. He is now at
Fairview hospital, recovering.
He was crawling in the end door OF
a car piled high with lumber, when a
switch engine bumped the car, shift
ing the load and pinning his foot be-
tween the ends of the lumber and
the end of the car. A second or two
more and it is probable that Andrew
Gubberard would have been killed.
1t required the services Of a crew
of men an hour and a half to unload
the top Of the car sufficiently, to re-
lease the man. It was feared that
his foot would be crushed, but at the
hospital it was found that the pedal
extremity was badly bruised and will
be saved. f"'+.. ' ts.- ,~ 4
