CHIEFS TO
DEPOSE CARRANzA
Reported Leader Of Insurgents
Will Agree to Step Down
Pending Regular Elec-
lions In Mexico.

Washington. Oct. 27.-Official re-
ports received here today indicated
that the Mexican national convention
at Aguas Calientes would today On
tomorrow depose General Carranza as
first chief and substitute q provisional
president.
American Consul Silliman reported
he was reliably informed of General
Carranza's intention to retire under
condition that no objections would be
interposed to his candidacy at a regu-
lar election and that the tenure of he
provisional government should be
short.
Officials here believed that. while
Carranza refused to AXE the initiative
In submitting his resignation, he would
abide by the conventions decision
should it vote tt retire him. Evidence
of that was contained in official adj
vices which reached here Of Carranza,S
making no extraordinary military
preparations.
Conflicting reports had bee received
by the state department as to car
ranza's attitude.
While no confirmation has been re-
ceived of reported disturbances in
| Mexico City, official advices give the
general order by Carranza deposing
| many commanders WHO were pilld LII
herents in the convention and appoint
ing others In their places. Similarly q
decree was issued by Carranza Inform
ing all chiefs throughout the republic
that he was still first chief and to
obey only orders from him. The con-
vention has discussed that in secret
session, out no report of the result of
it's deliberations has been received.
The war department today received
from Colonel Hatfield, commanding
American troops on the Arizona Dor
der, a message saying Governor May
torena, of Sonora, was Slowly and

: HOW NoVELlsTS GET IDEAS. /

From the New York Press


Writing is an art that almost any
educated person may learn-that is. If
they have enough industry In their
make up. But it is of little use to
learn composition If you have not ideas,
You must have a plot before you can
write a story, and plots are the great
stumbling block of the average writer.
Charles Garvice, the novelist, says
that it is while shaving that most Of
his plots come to aim. Lucky man!
Most people are too intent on seeing
that they do not cash their chins to
think Of anything else at that particu-
lar stage of their toilet. But perhaps
Mr.. Garyice uses a safety razor.
A great many people think best in
bed. n many writer's sleep with a
pad and pencil beside them. Nothing
is more annoying than to think OF
some gorgeous situation just before go
ing to sleep and then find in the morn
ing that the brilliant idea q faded
like a dream during the night.
H G.. Wells is one of those FORUM
ate men who brim with ideas. He is
! said to have a collection of plots which
no pen could possibly hope to work
into stories within a lifetime. He brings
his ideas down at breakfast time and
dictates them to his secretary. They
have come to him during the night.

Eyes Strain.

from inc bdllililoie 4NS"o'
Measurements of human eyes dem
onstrate that there is probably no such
thing in the world as an absolutely
perfect eye. That would be a miracle
which nature with all her infinite IN
genuity has never performed. NO ny
600, 600, 900 may be held to be perfect
artistically or ph~ysiologically.
To the owner of the face. this is
relatively an u~nimportant matter, but
to the owner of the pair Of eyes an
error of one three-hundredth Of an inch
in the curvature or dimensions Of the
eyeballs may make their all-important
function abnormal, resulting in eye
strain with It's attendant physical Ills.
The eye responds to the slightest
physical force in the world, that is,
light waves, which are hundreds OF
millions of times more infinitesimal
than sound waves. The eyes are the
hardest worked of all organs, and the
safety and existence Of human lives fire.
ouently depend directly on their ac-
curate working. The harmful results
Of eye-strain, never wholly absent
throughput life, may begin very early
in childhood, even in the second year.
Many little children. for instance
are constantly tearing their clothes,
hurting their feet n legs, stumbling
and falling, because their yes are So
faulty that their estimates Of the size,
location and nature of objects are not
correctly made. Adults who ave been
blind and are suddenly given good Wis
ion, require years to earn to see with
accuracy or safety in action:
Probably 6 per cent, of children are
left handed, left eyedness causing left
handedness. From 6 to 10 years of age
many children show an Incompetent
sible nervousness" twitching Of the
hands and face, tickle appetite and var
ious disorders, all usually due to eye
strain.
Yet almost all Of these cases Of eye
strain can be relieved, and should be
relieved in early childhood. The i'm
portance of correcting this condition
early in the child's school years, ant

London. Oct. 27.-Turkey. which it
was believed at one time had decided
to throw in her lot with Germany, has
again assured the ambassadors of
Great Britain, France and Russia that
she intends to maintain her policy of
neutrality. Turkey. however, continues
her military activities and is collecting
transport animals. which, 1T is said, are
destined for the Egyptian frontier.
1t Is considered that the presence of
strong Russian forces on the Turkish
border has influenced her not to take
any action against the allies.
