TO SEW FOR SOLDIERS
CodEds at U. v. M. Helping Red
Cross Work in Europe

Mrs. A. B. MyTick has organized
class OF girls at the University of
Vermont who will spend all of their
spare moments in making articles of
wearing apparel for the relief Of the
soldiers taking part in the European
war. Twelve young women at the col
lege have already signed to do the
work, and it is expected that there will
be many more.
Though a number of individuals arr
at work on the articles for the Red
Cross, to be sent to the soldiers this
is the first organized effort in Burling-
ton. While funds for the sending of
q trained personnel and the purchase
of surgical and mesical supplies are
of the first importance, there is the
need of wearing apparel, such as hos
pital garments, etc.
The Red Cross will furnish pat
terms for the articles needed and also
little red crosses to be sewed into
each garment. Articles which are es-
pecially needed are pajamas, sizes l6,
IL and Is, night shirts of thesame size
conyalescent gowns, like bath robes,
made of terry cloth or similar mater
ial, socks, underwear and ward slip
pers. Hospital supplies. such as pill
low cases, sheets and towels are al
so much needed The young women
at the university are to knit on the
slippers.
The articles when completed will
be forwarded by the state chapte,,
but none of the money sent in foi

war can be used as that has TO be
forwarded TO Washington, whence
IL Is forwarded to the country for

PLOT TO KILL VILLA
Hired Assassin Captured and Put to
Death--carranza Denies Aiding


I'll Paso, Oct. 27--An attempt has
been made TO assassinate Gen. villa
by an agent said to have been com
mlssioned and paid by Gen. Pablo
Gonzales, Gen. Carranza's staunch
supporter was charged in a message
gent from here today by Luis Aguirre
Benavides, Gen. Villas first secretary.
The would-be assassin, Francisco |.
Mugia. was executed after making a
confession before George c. Carothers
the American Consular Agent.
The accusation caused much excite
ment. The telegram from Villas sec
rotary said Mugia was apprehended
at Guadalupe, where Villa with his
troops has been awaiting the out
come of the conference. The official
report stated that the prisoner, just
prior to the execution, told the Villa
officers in the presence Of Carothers
that he had received large sum of
money from Gen. Gonzales at Mexico
City. In his possession was found in
eliminating evidence and a loaded
pistol.
MIR. Counsel please advise your
government and my family that | died
a traitor" Mugia was quoted as hav.
ing said.
The accused was an argent insurg.
gent. II was Mugia who assassinated
German Consular official in Mexico
city some years ago.
Denying any part in the plot. Gen.
Carranza today admitted the exist
ence of well-organized conspiracy
TO do away with villa. The denial was
telegraphed To the Constitutionalist
Consulate here and was given out
over Carranza's signature this eve
ming. IL says that the report which
told OF the execution Of Mugia was
untrue in that it held that Gen. Con
zales had hired Mugia- Carranza ad-
mitted having knowledge of the plot.
but said he had saved Villas life pre-
ceding the actual break between the
two leaders. when Herrera and Chao
were anxious TO execute Villa in order
to rid the Constituiionalist party Of a
menace. Carranza says lac finally
succeeded in exacting a promise from
his generals that no harm would come
to villa. and the fact that he had en-.
tered Carranza's territory to attend
the peace conference is cited as proof
Of his good faith.

Hired Assassin, Who Had a Record,
Captured and, After Confession,
Executed

Carranza has submitted his resigna-
ton TO the Aguascalientes convent
ion. His offer 10 relinquish his post
as supreme chief of the nation, how
ever. is conditional on the retirement
to private life of Gen. Francisco Villa.
In offering to resign, Gen Carranza
said he was actuated only by the high
est motives of patriotism and that ac-
ceptance or rejection of his offer must
depend on whether or not his elimin-
alton would contribute toward hasten
ing peace in the republic. and the
furtherance Of true democratic ideals.

Gen. Carranza 4 high government Off
cial said today:
Gen. Villa has charged Gen. Car
rama with being a self-seeker who
desired to take advantage of an ac-
cdent and pe.petuate himself in pow
or. Gen. CarranZa now shows his
good faith to the world by declaring
that if the personalities of himself
and Villa are to be check on peace
and to democratic progress in Mexico.
they should both step down and out.
As you Americans say, IL is now up
to MIR villa,
THE followers of Gen. Carranza are
willing to let history Judge us by this
act of disinterest edness on his part,
for we can make nogreater sacrifice
in the interest of peace and patriot.
