HUERTA REPORTED IN
 TOUCH WITH VILLA
Character of Communica- tiOn Said to Be Somewhat
 Unconventional

Vera Cruz, June 5.-President Huerta is Francisco Villa, according to a report brought here by refugee. but the char acter of their communication is somewhat unconventional.
 General Villa, according to the report, recently sent one of his telegraphers within the federal lines. He tapped tele- graph wire and sent to Huerta a message in which Villa called his enemy var,ous unpleasant names and urged him not to hasten his departure from the capital as Villa was anxious to see him before he left Villa requested Huerta to walt de- claring that he soon would be in the capi- tai.
 President Huerta, according to the story, appreciatng the grim humor of the situa- tion, gave orders that any similar mes- sages should not be withheld, but deliv- cred to him immediately. Since this or der was issued Villa, according to. the refugee, has not disappointed Huerta' one day. Though the wording of his mes- sages are always different each message Is said to be more vituperative than the other. The daily receipt of these mes- sages is said to have become a palace joke.
 The refugee Wno reiateu tnis story salu that Huerta' s hand had been strengthened by the receipt of ammunition from the Ypiranga and Bavaria and that he now laughs at the idea of resignlng. The refugee declared the President in one bank alone has 100000 pesos. The refu- gee said the members of Huertas family still are in Mexico City.
 Victor Huerta, one of the President sons, it was said, feared the advent of the Americans and their vengeance for his leadership of the mob that dragged the statue of George Washington from it's base during the recent disturbances in the capital

EASTERN GRIDIRONS

(By Hal Sheridan of the United
Press.)
Old King Football is about tC
mount to sport throne. He is col.
lecting his reservists throughout the
country and already has engaged in
many slight skirmishes with his an
cient enemy, Car Baseball. In all OF
the outlying posts footballs forces
are scoring heavily. Around the big
centers though, baseball still holds
forth the strongest.
Not until after the worlds series
stuff does King Football expect to
reign supreme. He comedies Car
Baseball a lead on space in the sport
ing pages until after Maskmen score
their usual fall victory but after that
he expects to come into his own with
vengeance.
The football outlook around the
East this year is unusually interest
ing. Yale occupies the spotlight, not
because it is expected to win this fall,
but because Frank Hinkey is back to
coach Old Ellis warriors. The pros
pect of this former Blue star putting
in a winning team there this year is
very doubtful. The task is too great.
in the minds of football critics.
But the Hinkey spirit, as it is re-
membered by ones who saw that fa-
nous star in action in the old days,
is sometimes to be reckoned with,
and the seemingly impossible may be
accomplished. Hinkey's efforts, at
any rate, will be closely watched.
In the preliminary work to date,
Hinkey has tried out a large number
Of candidates. His policy seems to be
that every man who reports is going |
to get a chance. He seems to want
to see for himself what material he
has on hand. Only the three players
who were regarded as regulars are
available for Hinkey. They are Cap
-ain Talbot, halfback Carroll and
quarterback Aleck Wilson.
Hinkey is being assisted at present

MORE DEADLY BULLETS NEEDED.


Correspondents have written of tn,
merciful nature of wounds from th'
modern army rifles. 1t is said, unless
a vital part be hit, the victim recov.
ers rapidly.
A striking example of the effect Of
the present small projectile is given
by the experience of a German SOL
der who was hit in battle In the
battle, he fell. This was the first he
knew he had been hit An examina-
ton showed he had been shot through
the shoulder, the upper arm, three
times through the thigh, one of the
bullets going through both thighs, and
once in the forearm. 1t is said he is
recovering rapidly and will be back
in the battle line in a few weeks. 1t
is the artillery fire, particularly
shrapnel, which is killing so many in
this war.
OF course, the killing of men is dis
paraged by everyone. Still, if it is
to be a war to the end, as all the
warning nations say it will, then those
merciful shots which only put a man
on the sick list for a few weeks are
prolonging the war. There isn't
much use arming the soldiers with
guns, if the experience given is a
fair example of the usual work such
shells do.
Nearly any veteran of the Civil War
will tell one that the best place to
be in times of war is right on the
firing line. For in the rear, if not
burned by the passing army, or in
front, if not being fired upon by the
approaching army, are the bush
whackers," as we call them in the
United States.
These men care not what sort of {
crimes they commit They start out S
to enrich themselves at the expense v
of others distress 1t is the women d
and children who have to face these .
maraders. It's not the man on the
firing line Il
If it's to be war to the last ditch"
as it now seems it will be, then, out
Of mercy it would be a good thing if VI
he bullets from infantry fire would
kill when they hit. 1t doesn't help in H
bringing the war to a close to merely H
skin man up and put him out of
he game a few days II
And then, you know, Europe is 60 II
ng to have to begin raising crops
gain someday. The waste of the la u
or of the several million men now =
ghting must be put on the debit -
heet of the worlds ledger. And that's
Iithout considering the enormous
ally cost of an estimated fifty mil
ons of dollars. All and all, if it
'ould hurry the entrance of peace, it
'ould be more merciful if these II
lodern projectiles were more deadly.
