dispatches received today say the peo-
pie received Villa with an ovation.
1t will be several days before the
Villa troops will be in a position to
begin fighting at Tampico, but they
are already taking possession Of the
railroad leading there from San Luis
Potosi. About 500 Americans are in
Tampieo.

the harbor there, and the American
consulate at san Luis Potosi has ar
ranged to notify the consul at Tam
pico so that Americans can withdraw
to places Of safety with the advance
of the Villa army.
Tampico is next in Importance to
Vera Cruz as a seaport. The possib-
ility Of withdrawal of American fore

fall into the hands of General Aguilar,
who is loyal to carranza, probably de-
termines villa to take Tampico, to
which ammunition and war supplies
can be imported and rushed over Land

lpush their recent success at DiXmude
to decisive issue has removed such
OF the anxiety that was felt in London
when the news of the capture of the
village was first received. AS was
the case three weeks ago when the
Germans made their initial crossing
Of the User, they have again been
thrown back and English observers,
reading the sterile official British and
French announcements, CLEAN the in
timation that the lost ground soon will
be regained.
The suggestion that the German at
tack on Dixmude was primarily intend
ed to mark retreat, finds no sup
port here, and the theory that the in
vaders contemplate anything like an
extensive retreat from Belgium is ac-
cepted by few people in London.
The best opinion is that even if the
present battle should SO develop as to
enable the allies to take the offensive
III force they shortly would find them
selves face to face with the fortress
like entertainments stretching from
zeebrugge to the Meuse.
The fighting on the Aisne seems to
have resumed its original intensity
simultaneously with the German as
sault on Dixmude, but in this region
the French claim to have checked all
the attacks Of the enemy and consoli-
dated their previous successes.
Nothing further has been heard in
London o fthe reported naval activity
in the Baltic or the movements of the
German fleet at Kiel, nor Of the al
legged sinking of three German cruisers
in the Pacific.
Talking About Monroe Doctrine
Commenting on reports that the Brit
ish government has invoked the Mon
roe doctrine to put a stop to the use
Of the Galapagos islands as base
for the operations of German warships
in the Pacific, the Pail Mall Gazette
points out that the interests Of the
Unite States in the neutrality of these
islands, which Ecuador is unable to
maintain, is paramount, and adds:
President wilson's government will
not fail to see that our recognition of
this fact at the present moment is
precedent for the future"
The announcement was made Off
cially that the British losses in killed,
wounded and missing in the present
war up to October 81, amounted to the
big total Of $1,000 men. All these
gaps have been filled and big drafts
of British soldiers are ready in France
to take the places of the men lost
from day to day, thus enabling the
British commanders to put fresh
troops in the field to follow up any
yielding on the part of the German
invaders
The proportion of officers killed or
wounded is very great. This being
the case with the Indian
oontingents, it has been suggested
that the seniors of the regiments stain
their faces. White men among dark
skinned soldiers offer an effective tar
get for sharpshooters, who realize the
peculiar value to these regiments of
officers who know how to speak the
language Of the men

PULLMAN CONDUCTORS AND
PoRTERS ORGANIZE

TSfN 'SNSFNINiEE
Pullman sleeping car service men
have organized the Federation of
Pullman Conductors and Pullman
Porters of America, with head
quarters in the Manhattan building.
AS these classes of employees are the
only ones in railway train service not
organized up to this time and men,
bers are coming in fact, H. E. Berna-
dickt, the Vice-president, says the
union is getting into shape for go
ing after better conditions.
A sleeping car porter gets $27.50 a
month, takes a gamblers chance on
tips, is charged with linen shortage,
and has long hours and lack of sleep.
Conductors get $40 month to start
and after ten years reach the limit
of $95 month.
The Pullman Company's pension
plan is taken as a joke. To get any
pension at all, an employee must be
70 years of age and must have work.
ed twenty straight years for the COM
pany. The pension then amounts to
one per cent of the average monthly
pay received for each year served,
the minimum pension to be SIS a
month.
The bonus" paid by the sleeping
car corporation to employees is also
taken as joke. "It is almost impos-
sible for an employe to get this bonus,
because it is given only to employees
whose records are clear, and as the
company imposes a penalty for all
kinds of trifiing reasons, there are
hardly any who get the bonus" says
Bernadickt. And he adds, eve are
hoping the people of this country will
not have to witness another Pullman
strike"

JOHN D. SEES THE DoUGH-NOT
THE OTHER SIDE OF THINGS
John D. Rockefeller, owner of the
largest corporation, in the country,
does not see the sufferings of little
John O'Connor, one year old, whose
right leg was crushed by one of the
Standard Oil Co.'S teams in front of
the boys home at Hastings and
South eLavitt street, three months
ago.
Little Johnny was taken to the
County Hospital after the accident,
where he fingered between life and
death. He recovered sufficiently
enough to be taken to his home
where he could be attended by
physician, DR.. E. E. Birmingham, 523
S. Crawford avenue, was called.
DR.. Birmingham treated the boy
for nearly two months and sent bill
of $3.50 to the company. The Stand
ard Oil Co., when it received the bill
refused to pay the sum to tshe physi-
clan, said he was exhorbitant, and
they did not think that the amount
ought to be paid to the physician.
The doctor told the officials if they
did not pay that he would start suit
against the company for the money
and also start suit against the COM
pany in behalf of the little boy, for
a sum that would make the company
take notice. After the physician
threatened them with the suit
check was sent to him.
The family of little John O'Connor
is dependent solely upon the father,
who is employed on a cheap salary
by the firm and who is in fear of los
ing his position if suit is started
against the company.
