| Those which play upon the British
Isles from across the Atlantic are pre-
vailing southwesterly winds. Farther
north, and duplicated in the southern
hemisphere. are polar winds. dcsig-
mated in the northern hemisphere.
! where, owing to the vast land areas,
they are of greater Importance. the
prevailing northeasterly winds. Their
raison d'etre is similar to that Of
the trades. The presence of land Ow-
ing to its greater heating power, inter
feres with the formation and direc-
! ton of the winds, notably in the case
of the monsoons Of South Asia, where
seasonal variations follow the appar-
ent path of the sun, alternately over
| land and over water Land and sea
| breezes alternate by day and night
| along a coast because of the unequal
| heat acquired by the air over water
| and over sea. The direction OF local
winds is much affected by the dispo-
| sitiOn and height Of the land, though
over huge expenses of water they
have a clear path.
1t would take too long to consider
here the operation and locale of par
ticular winds: but something should
be said of the wonderful system of
their working Here is a beneficent
transference Of warm air from the
heated tropical regions. where its con-
tinued presence would make life I'M
endurable, to the temperate regions,
where its mildness is wanted to TEN
per" the cold. To the temperate re-
gions, where are the big habitable
areas of land. come the winds most
suitable for mankind, enabling him TO
work in comfort; while to the tropical
regions blow the cooling trade winds.
aiding navigation westward during
the ages before the advent OF steam
and electric power.
The system Of the winds is inter
woven with the history of mankind
his migrations. his commerce, his in
dustrles, his physical and mental &C.
tivities. Britons owe more OF their
adaptability and endurance than they
imagine to the alienation, the clock
soft southern breezes, the moisture
laden west winds, to the bracin- north
eastern and east winds which have
acquired icy GOODNESS in passing over
the plains and steppes of northeast
and east Europe.
A great service performed by wind
is the evaporation of moisture and
subsequent transference of it in the
form of rain clouds, The distribution
of moisture is as important as the dis
tribution Of temperature already noted.
Yet 1t would be impossible If wind
failed to perform its allotted Office of
carrying the clouds from over the
oceans to the continents.
In conclusion, reference must be
made to a most important Office full
filed by the winds-that of natures
scavenger.
1t sweeps through the dirty streets
and passageways of our cities and
carries away choking dust from the
roadways in summer. and decaying,
dank leaves in autumn.

LAREDO o. Tex Constitutionalist
troops under Generals Antonio |. Vii
lareal and MOnclovio Herrera were
severely defeated in a three days bat
tie with forces of General Villa in an
unsuccessful attack on Saltillo, which
began at 3 o'clock Friday morning.
according to advices reaching Laredo
Sunday. Details as to the number
of troops engaged and those killed or
wounded are lacking, but it is report
ed that a trainload OF wounded have
been brought to Monterey for treat
ment.
The defeat of the constitutionalist
troops is said to have resulted from a
misunderstanding of orders when DO
sitions of vantage had been secured
by them. While the Carranza forces
were closing in on Saltillo the cry
was raised that Villa troops were
among the attackers. The troops of
Villareal and Herrera became demon.
allied and a hasty retreat followed.
1t is reported that as a result of the
battle ESQ constitutionalists went over
to Villas forces, consisting of men
from the Sixth, Seventh and Ninth
battaliOns.
Villas victorious troops followed up
their advantage by driving the con
stitutionalists as far as Rinconada,
between Saltillo and Monterey, where
another desperate but unsuccessful
stand was made by the retreating
forces. They are now reported to be
falling back in an orderly manner to-
ward Monterey, where another en-
gagement is expected.
Laredo. Tex-According to infor-
nation received in Nuevo Laredo Sat
urday the battle at Saltillo between
the forces of Villa and Carranza,
which began at o'clock Friday morn
ing, is still raging there. II is said
that the Carranza forces are in com
mand of General Antonio Villareal,
while the Villa soldiers are in com
mand of a brother of the late Presi-
dent Madero.
Villareal is reported to have about
ten thousand men. The strength of
the Villa army, which occupies Sal
tillO, having entered it when the Car
ranzistas evacuated it to go to Hippo
Ito, has not been reported. Both sides
have heavy artillery and a terrible
bombardment is reported in progress.
Both sides are reported fighting stub
bornly.
FL Paso, Tex-General Villa, who
plans to attack the Mexican border
towns opposite Naco and Douglas,
Ariz., with the 5000 troops that &C
company him north, has explained his
campaign in a communication tele-
graphed a few days ago to General
Scott, chief of staff of the United
States army, who is at FL Paso.
General Villa seems to think that
his plan OF campaign is entirely friend
ly to the American government; that
by driving out the last Carranza gar
risons on the western border he would
be removing the cause of the contro-
Gersy regarding shooting across the
international line.
In his message, General Villa prom
ised to expose the residents OF the
American town to fire for eight hours
or less, during which time he declared
he would drive the Carranza forces
over the line.

brutal as the whole.
It is horrible to sink liner and send innocent nom
combatants watery death; but less horrible to kill
soldier and sentence hiswife and children to living
death? It is impossible to conne the cruees Of to

-HE MERGING OF THE TELEPHONES is a

thing. The Majority claim originality for that
suggestion in Wheeling But this need not be accom-
panied by any increase in the price. Business who
have two telephones will not oppose the increase,
because it will total less than they pay for both but
about 5000 people in this district have but the tee
phone, and the increase will be hardship to them.
No public service corporation should be expected to
furnish utility for less than cost and there is little like
hood that any will But it is only reasonable to expect
that telephone prce that has been sufficient under com
petitive conditions with the waste Of plant duplication
and other losses could be maintained when the operation
