WASHINGTON, Feb Villa te-
legraphed the convention agency here
tonight that Gen. Urbina captured
San Luis Potosi yesterday and is in
full control of the city and vicinity.
Urbina's column is supposed to be a
vanguard of the Villa force march
ing on Tampico. No details of the
taking of San Luis Potosi are. given
in the dispatch. though it is init
mated that the Carranza garrison
evacuated without fight. Urbinas
forces numbered about 5000.
All the newspaper offices in Mexi-
co have been closed by order of the
government. the state department
was advised today.
Zapata forces, who control the
city's main water supply and con-
tinue to occupy the outlying su-
burbs. are reported to have commit
ted some depredations.
Carranza forces who are in con-
troll Of the Mexican Railway have
promised to relieve the situation
caused by a shortage Of food in
Mexico City.
Department reports said that COM
parative quiet prevails in the capi-
tai. Several of Carranza's cabinet
officers who arrived from Mexico
City, it is reported, were consider
ing seriously the removal to Vera
Cruz Of everything pertaining to
their departments, all government Of
fices, including foreign offices, to
be administered from the coast city.
Street car service in Mexico City
was interfered with on account Of
the fact that Zapata forces had taken
many cars and still had them in
| their possession. Obregon. who has
been in military command of the
capital, the report said. has gone
to Vera Cruz to confer with Car
| rama and during his absence Cen
eral Gil, formerly commander of the
| Carranza forces at Naco, is ruling
the city. All persons except for
eigners and city coachmen, who own
| more than one horse have been or
dered by military authorities to sell
| half Of them to the government on
! pain of confiscation.

Trouble Brewing at Naco


NACO, Feb. 2.-The renewal Of
operations at the customs house at
Naco. Sonora. by officials Of Maytor-
ena is alleged by Carranzistas here
to constitute a violation of the neu-
trality pact. Duties are being col
lected by the Mexican officials and
merchandise dispatched across the
border.
The civil occupation of the town
has been accompanied by an in
flux of Americans seeking liquor
concessions. 1t is reported that May
torena officials have set license fees
OF 5000 monthly for saloons operat-
ing just across the border, and de-
mand payment Of four months fees

TEACH COLTS FAST WALKING
Best Results Are Secured With AMI
mails Full Of Spirit That Want to
Get Along Rapidly.

A slow moving colt can be taught
70 walk fast by hitching it beside q
rast walker and urging it to keep up,
although 1t requires good handling to
obtain full success with this method.
The best results are secured with
animals full Of spirit that want to
move rapidly. At the same time a
young horse that is full of spirit, II It
Is allowed to work too hard, will be-
come too tired, lose its ambition and
develop into slow walker. The best
training is to use the young stock at
such light work that they can move
along rapidly without feeling it, let
ting them have only enough Of It so
that they will get into the habit OF
moving rapidly and keep up the trait
after they are older. .

Pageland is the remarkable
town of Chesterfield county.
The progress made in the section
surrounding this thriving town
during the past eight years has
been wonderful. The sand hills,
once considered worthless, have
become about the most desirable
lands in the whole section. Land
that once was considered a liza
bility rather than an asset has
been transformed into productive
soil of the most desirable type.
People who once-knew this sec
ton but have been away for ten
or fifteen years can hardly
believe their own eyes when
they come back. On the spot
known to them as the "Fox
Place" they find a beautiful little
town with broad streets, many
substantial bick business houses
and scores of pretty homes.

TALKS OF SUBMARINE AUTO,
Inventor Has Idea Of SubmersibIe
Which He Believes viii Prove
to Be Wonder.

An improved submersible which
he is confident will revolutionize even
the comparatively new science of un-
dersea fighting is being worked out
by Simon Lake, inventor of the even
keel submarine. Lakes new inven-
ton is nothing more nor less than q
submarine auto, a submersible craft
that will run for many miles on the
seas bottom. To prevent pounding
by ground swells, the wheels are sus-
pended on swinging arms with a
cushioning cylinder.
One hundred of these craft on the
Atlantic coast, fifty on the Pacific
and fifty to guard our colonies and
to undertake aggressive warfare in
the enemy's own country would be
sufficient, believes the inventor, to
render the United States impreg-
nable from attack. 1t is Lakes
idea that we must put our navy un-
der water before an invader does il
with shot and shell.

President Begins Defense Cam
paign

new York, Nov. 4.-PreSldent
Wilson opened the administra
ton campaign for its national de-
fenSe programme in campre-
hensive and carefully prepared
address delivered here tonight
at the Manhattan club banquet.
He declared solemnly that the
United States had no aggressive
purposes, but must be prepared
to defend itself in order to assume
"full liberty and self develop
ment." Significantly, he said that
with ourselves in this great
matter we associate all the peo.
pies of our own hemisphere"
adding that I'VE wish not only
for the United States but for them
the fullest freedom OF independ-
ent growth of action"
The president was received
with enthusiastic applause as he
entered the banquet hall and
during his address. The hall was
decorated with American flags
and filled even to the galleries
with Democrats happy over their
victory on Tuesday in New
York city. When the president
arose to speak, every one got up
and applauded until he was fore
ed to signal for quiet.

dent, I'VE have witnessed what
we did not think possible, great
European conflict involving
many of the greatest nations of
the world. The influence of the
great war are everywhere in the

Force everywhere speaks out
and from one end of our own
dear country TO the other men
are asking one another what our
own force is, how far we are pre-
pared TO maintain ourselves
against any interference with our
national action or development"
The president called upon "men
OF all shades of political opinion"
TO rally to the support of the pro,
gramme. He said it represented
the best professional and expert
opinionlof the country" and gave.
warning that "if men differ with

ested in making .the permanent
interests of the country safe
against disturbance"
There is no need for the coun-
try TO feel panic stricken, the
president declared, because it
stands in friendly relations with
the world. He spoke of the
United States as nation too big
and generous to be exacting, but
yet courageous enough to defend
its rights"

Turner His Own successor.

The reelection of Rev. A. w
Turner, of Shreveport, for the
position of State Superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League, by
the Methodist conference a
Mansfield, ought to be sufficient
notice to the prohibitionists OF
Louisiana that the church in.
dorses the work of this Jealous
crusader.
There are some well-meaning
friends Of prohibition in Louisi-
ana who believe that the issue of
prohibition extension was pre-
cipitately and inopportuneIy
sprung. There are others who
are wilfully blind to the saloon
and ring combination behind
Colonel Pleasant and are disposed
to criticise DR.. Turner'S advocacy
OF MIR. Barret's candidacy.
The Methodist church has eff
fectively silenced these critics by
selecting Mr.. Turner to succeed
himself, thus giving him not only
the benefit Of its Endorsement
but its moral support in the bat
tie ne is waging for a purer So
cial atmosphere in Louisiana.
There is no safer Judge of the
timeliness and effectiveness of a
moral reform than the source of
its inspiration and support. If
the Methodist church is satisfied
with the instruments at hand for
the furtherance of moral right
eousness, why should sincere
friends of prohibition in Louisi-
ana complain?
DIR. Turner is a wheel-horse in
the cause of reform. He has ac- |
complished much for the general
morrl uplift and the Methodist
church has not been slow to rec
ognize his qualifications nor to |
give approval to his policies and
achievements. Shreveport Jour
