CARRANZA GOES
T0TEHUANTEPEC
Those Opposed to "First
Chief" Believe He Has
Taken to Flight.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 22.-Diplo-
matte dispatches today report the de-
parture of Venustiano Carranza from
Veracruz for the isthmus Of Tehaun-
tepec. FACTIONS opposed to Carranza
were inclined to regard it as a flight
after the defeat of his army at Puebla.
Dut Catfanza OFFICIALS pointed out that
some time ago he had announced his
intention of visiting the isthmus
The lsthmus of Tehauntepec is the
narrow neck of land toward the south
ern extremity of Mexico. Puerto Mex
leo, $50 miles southeast of Veracruz,
IS on the lsthmus, and Carranza has
probably sailed for that port.

World History, "The Battle of Hastings"

On summers morning in fair Normandy,
now highest to a thousand years ago,
tanners daughter went far into the forest
plucking flowers and singing by the way.
Happened that Duke Robert likewise went
a-hunting that eventful day and spied
Arletta's pretty feet twinkling in the
brookshine. Straightway he fell in love,
and for all her bushes, sat her on his
steed and bore her to his castle.
Duke William was their son, and he became,
in mans estate the King of Merrie Eng
land. And now the blood of George,
fifth of that name to sit an English
throne, pricks just a little fercer and
more fast, because high-mettled with the
ruddy drops, rutilant in his Hanoverian
veins, from fair Arletta and her viking
fathered Robert.
Came bright October day, in Christian calen-
dar year thOusand-sixty-six, and saw for
gathered on the Sussex sands a vast
array of Norman knights and men-at-arms.
