Try Gas Bombs on
 Goats in Trenches

London, Dec s--A goat that was selected to test new type of gas bomb ak an experimental station back of Hhe firing line in France, writes a correspondent, escaped the ordeal and has now been nursed back to health
 For want of other animals to ex- pertinent on. the goat was borrowed by the army scientists from a neigh boring farm and let down into a trench "A bomb was exploded in the trench, and Q few minutes later the goat, weeping and apparently suffer ing great Inward discomfort was lift ed out The veterinary surgeon then prescribed an alkaline ball for the goat, which soon recovered sufficiently to be able to eat appetizing mashes with a spoon.
 Men often volunteer for experiments Of this kind, but they go into the gas pits nuzz1ed. They do not test the deadIiness of the bomb, as the goat, but try out the latest inventions in gas helmets.

HOBOKEN'S CHOLERA

Find Scare on lnterned
Liners UnjuStified.

DR.. Joseph O'Connell. health officer
Of the port. said last night that in his
opinion there were no cases OF cholera
on any of the German steamships in
Hoboken. as reported Tuesday.
He made visit to the Prinz Joachlm
in Hoboken yesterday and examined the
eleven men said to have been stricken
suddenly with cholera.
"Of course we do not know what the
METEOROLOGICAL examinations may re-
veal" said DR. O'Connell. "but ] am
convinced from the personal examina-
tions | made Of the men that they have
not cholera There was not one chm
ical symptom of the disease. We took
cultures which are now incubating, and
bv tomorrow at 10 a. m. we shall know
if they reveal cholera. ! am inclined
10 think they will be negative. | think
the men had eaten canned goods or
some food that caused a form of pto-
maine poisoning"
Examinations similar 10 those made
bv Dr.. O'Connell were made by sur
geon from the public health service IN
Washington. and his report to surgeon
General Blue was as optimistic as the
local health officer.
DR.. Blue authorized statement last
night saving that the patients on the
PripZ Joachim were merely suHerlng
from food poisoning.

CARDINAL GIBBONS
TOCALL ON WILSON
Will Visit White House To-day
to Talk of Pope's Peace
Project, 1t Is Said.

Washington, Sept. IA request
made at the White HNuse to-day on
behalf of Cardinal Gibbons for an
interview with President Wilson was
regarded as significant in official and
diplomatic circles, in view of recent re-
ports that the Pope hoped to bring
about peace in Europe through CO.
operation with the heads of neutral
governments. The interview was ar
ranged for tomorrow afternoon.
Many officials here believe that the
success Of the negotiations over sub
marine warfare places the United
States ir an advantageous position TO
bring about an agreement between Ger
many and Great Britain on the free
dom Of the seas and so to pave the way
for a discuss on OF peace terms.
At the White House the object Of
Cardinal Gibbons's request for an in
terview was not disclosed, although it
was indicated that he wanted to dis
cuss the international situation.
Monsignor William T. Russell. Of

u. S. Troops Sent to Fl
PasO, and Ranchers
Gather for Defence.
KILLING OF OROZCO
BITTERLY RESENTED
MalcOntentS Led by Former
Members of His Notorious
"ColoradOs."
rBy Telersph to The Tribun,

FL Paso, Tex, Sept. 1.-Apprehension,
felt by United States Army ana city
officials that Mexicans in FL Paso we're
preparing for an outbreak because OF
the killing of General Pascual Orozco
and four other we'll known Mexicans
led tonight to troops being sent into
the city from Fort Bliss and Camp Cot
ton and the doubling of the police de-
tail in the downtown districts and in
the Mexican quarter.
Conferences were held during the sf-
ternOon by Mayor Tom Lea, Colonel
Omar Bundy, acting brigade command
ers, officials of the marshaps Office and
the Sheriff's Office. Following the con-
ferences active preparations for pro-
tecting thee ity were started. All army
officers and men on leave were ordered
to be at their camps at o'clock.
Two hundred armed Mexicans crossed
the border late to-day, near Vanhorn
Tex. with the avowed purpose Of at
tacking Vanhorn, Sierra Blanca and
the country near there, according TO a
message received tonight from Van
horn. The Mexicans declare they will
avenge the killing of Orozco and four
other Mexicans. Citizen posses are
guarding the two towns.
Resentment over the killing Of Orozco
WAS shown by the Mexicans all along
the border to-day, and the American
inhabitants and the border patrol are
spending the night under arms. while
the watch along the Rio Grande has
been increased.
Charging that Orozco and his com
rsdes were massacred and that there
was no evidence that they were looting
any American ranches, border Mexicans
became bitter, and the threat of trou-
bic become so great that American
ranchmen and residents of border towns
have organized armed forces for pro-
lection against uprisings.
During the day in FL Paso groups OF
Mexicans gathered in obscure places
and police and Secret Service men were
kept busy breaking up small gatherings
in the Mexican quarter. As night APP
proached the feeling became more tense
Mexicans began making preparations
which indicated to the authorities
civil and mlitary-that trouble was
likely during the night. Warning was
received that the arrival of Orozco's
body would be the signal for demon
stration. The malcontents are known
to be led by former members OF
Orozco's body Of "Colorados," the most
brutal and lawless of all the Mexican
bands.
Twenty-Five Mexicans found carrying
arms were arrested tonight previous
to the arrival of the train carrying
General Orozco's body. Police have
been searching suspected Mexicans and
arresting those found armed in the
business section.
The lateness Of the arrival of the
train with the body caused thinning
of the crowd of Mexicans at the station
but several hundred OF Orozco's former
followers were gathered there and
along the streets leading to the rail
road station long before the train ar
rived

GERMAN PAPERS
FRIENDLY TOU. 5.
PRAISE WILSON
Express Hope for Speedy
Settlement of the
Arabic Case.

Berlin, Sept. 1.-The National ZeIt-
ung" publishes to day a leading article
under the heading. Wilson, Bryan and
Roosevelt" which is noteworthy for its
friendly tone and the admiration ex-
pressed for President Wilson.
The article says that discussions OF
the Arabic affair have been in quieter
tone since Count Won Bernstorff. Ger
man Ambassador at Washington, pre-
sented his request that the American
government delay action until Germany
had had the opportunity of presenting
its side Of the case. There now re-
mains. it adds. no obstacle 10 friendly
discussions of differences. which, while
real. are by no means OF such nature
as 10 prevent a satisfactory compro-
mise.
The personality Of President Wilson
ha, been illuminated more strongly
than ever before, the National Zeit-
ung" says, during the exciting days
through which Amersca has just passed.
The President will appear to many in
a new light. Never was his position
more difficult than during the Arabic
crisis. when Mr.. Bryan was calling
on Americans for peace at any price,
and Colonel Roosevelt was summoning
them TO war against Germany
President Wilson is pictured as
standing between thS two rivals. whose
activities threatened TO bring about
such a situation that the President
might make his attitude toward Ger
many dependent on domestic political
considerations.
THAT President Wilson withstood
this temptation and may be counted on
10 withstand il further must be ac-
knowledged, notwithstanding the fact
that the German people certainly have
reason 70 be dissatisfied with his atti-
tude in the matter OF submarine war
fare"
Mr. Wilson is characterized as a
eleverer politician than "the unlucky
BRYAN and the astute politician Roose-
Welt" The article concludes with the
statemen. that Germany has always
desired TO maintain the traditional
friendly relations with America and
that il may be hoped the ARABIC case
will serve to clear up misunderstand-
ings on both sides.
The "Frankfurter Zeitung" is quoted
by the Overseas News Agency as saying
that the Arabic incident cannot yet be
cleared up, but is being treated with
great care and firm intention to
reach a settlement.
"A satisfactory result may be eN-
pected." the newspaper continues, be
cause Il was never the intention IN wag-
ing submarine warfare 20 endanger the
lives of passengers on the large liners.

WILSON'S FRIENDS
CERTAIN HE WILL
BE RENOMINATED
SO Sure of 1t That They
Are Basing on 1t All
Their Plans.
PRESIDENT TAKING
NO PERSONAL PART
But Is Highly Pleased at In
dorsements Already Given
to Him in Conventions.

Washington, Sept. l. - indications
were given here tonight that Presi-
dent Wilson's closest friends expect
him to be renominated for the Presi-
dency in 1916, and are laying their
plans accordingly. The President, it
is said authoritatively, is taking no
part in such plans.
Qualification felt by the President over
the action Of Democrats in the 10th
Congress District of Wisconsin. in in
dorsing his administration was e1-
pressed in a letter from Secretary Td-
multy, which became public to- light A
telegram to the President announcing
the Endorsement stated tn t it was vot-
ed Unanimously" at a mass meeting
called for the purpose of arranging
for the campaign Of 1916.
Word that Kentucky Democrats in
state convention had indorsed Presl-
dent Wilson for denomination also was
welcome news at the White House, but
no formal comment was made.
Senator James, author Of the resolu-
tion adopted in Kentucky, is one of the
Presidents political advisers.
Secretary Tumulty sent a letter last
September to New Jersey Democratic
leader asking that no steps be taken to
indorse the President for another
term, saving that "the President feels
that it might seem as II he were taking
- eft a
advantage through such an expression
Of confidence"
As far as the President himself is
concerned. he is understood to take the
same attitude at present, but many. OF
his friends are declared TO believe that
no further efforts should be made to
stop any political Endorsements which
may be offered.
