by German headquarters relates that
Lieut.. Orland Garros the famous French
aviator, has been made a prisoner by
the Germans at Ingelmuster, Belgium.
Lieutenant Garros has flown in many
competitions in the United States.
Since the beginning of the wal he
has been among the most daring Of the
French airmen. His latest exploit was
at Dunkirk, three days ago, when he
shot dead in the air, the aviator n
the observer of a German aeroplane. He
went out against this machine alone,
and as his machine was the faster he
was able to gain an advantageous posi-
ton.
.Garros was born Of French parents

in 1885. He is a graduate Of the uni
v~ersity of Paris and of the law uni
versity of Paris and for a time prac-
ital. Garros has appeared in aviation
meets in Galveston, Mexico City, Vera
Cruz, Havana, New York and many
other cities in this country.
Among the aviation records broken
by Garros were his flight made on De-
Cember II, 1912, when he assembled to a
height of 1902 feet and established a
worlds altitude mark; his flight from
Tunis to Sicily in December, 1915,
when he traVeled 100 miles from the
city over water and his flight across
the Mediterranean, 55S miles, from St

MISSIONARIES WANT
u. S. TO INTERVENE
Say Japanese Demands on
China Are Acts of Aggression
Which Will Prove Menace.

Picking, April 19.-InterYention by
the United States in the negotiations
now proceeding between China and
Japan Is recommended to President
Wilson in the appeal recently sent
to him by American missionaries in
his country. The message - OF 5000
words was cahled TO WASHINGTON "
characterizes the Japanese demands
on China as acts of aggression sucn
as eventually will present a n
to the United States.
at present in this country double her
usual quota OF troops. amounting to
so, 900 mem, the missionaries urge that
Japan be notified thai the excess Of
troops should be removed.
The understanding here is that a
Chinese official, or several of them,
paid the cable charges, amounting to
nearly 5 6 5000, or the message to Pres
ident Wilson. This communication
was signed by the Revs. e. w. Thwing,
John Wherry, G. H. Fem and w. A.
American Presbyterian mission at
Picking; the Rev. Chauncey Goodrich,
of the American board Of commission
ers for foreign missions, who Is sta
toned at Tien Tsin; the Rev. II. Fl.
Lowry, of the Methodist Episcopal
mission at Picking, and the Rev. G. F..
Hubbard.
The petition asks President Wilson
to demand of China, n not of Japan,
American participation in the confer
ences now under way. 1t is suggested
that Great Britain and other nations
be invited to participate.

CARS OF AMMUNITION
FOR TROOPS OF VILLA
Expected He viii Attack Obre.
gon as Soon as Enough
Munitions Arrive.

FL Paso, Tex. April 20.-AmmunitioL
In a lots began to pass through this
port destined for the Villa army en-
gaging the Carranza advance below
lrapuato, GuanaJuato. 1t was not con-
sidered likely that Villa would press his
attacks on Obregon's positions at
'Celaya until more munitions arrived.
AS far as could be learned from To-
cal reports. General Obregon has not
ventured far from Celaya or yet at
tackled Villas base at Irapuato.
lrapuato is h junction point to
Guadalajara- Celaya is located at an
important railroad connection between
Mexic City n the north.
1t was announced that all telegraphic
communication below ~Irapuato had been
cut, supposedly by CarranZa harassing
expeditions This placed the north out
Of touch with G~uadalajara as we'll as
with Mexico City.
Villa forces were reported today
as Fastening to the center from eastern
and western Mexico. General Terevino,
the CarranZa commander at Tampico,
reported that the Villa forces invest
ing that port had disappeared from the
vicinity of Ebano.
Villa was defeated 81 his first attack
on Celaya, ii is said, by q trick by
which the CarrGnZa commander per-
mitted the enemy to enter the streets
of the town. where they encountered
artillery and machine gun fire. Villas
second attack last week likewise proved
weak. His withdrawal, according to the
official explanation, has been caused by
Brownsville. Tex, April 19.-General
Villas attempt to beseige Matamoras
was definitely abandoned yesterday so
far as the present is concerned. Maj.
Gen. Frederick Funston and staff left
Brownsville for San Antonio. The
general expects, however, to keep in
close touch with the border situation.
Emilio Cara, the Villa consul here,
predicted that the campaign against
Matamoros would be renewed in a few
weeks.
The Villa army under Gen. Jose
Rodriguez today retired to about 40
miles west of Matamoros. Meanwhile
some of the expected Villa reinforce
ments from Monterey reached Repnosa,
60 miles west of Matamoros.
1t was reported tonight that some of
these reinforcements would return to
Monterey Immediately. The Villa plan
appeared to be to postpone the Mato-
moros attack until after Villas cam
paign against Obregon is finally de-
cided. meanwhile keeping some of the
Villa troops 60 miles west of Mat
amoros.

From n careful consideration of the
case" Judge Mott further said, Il have
no doubt thai the defendants were
moving parties in the manufacture and
in the placing of the bombs. 1t is true
that the detective C~o-Operated with
them, but l do not believe the police
were the instigators OF the crime. The
crime was against a church that is
dear to the hearts of tens of thousands
OF people. The only object was to ad-
vance a cause which has no right to
exist in this country.
THE jury recommended Clemency
because of the & and rather weak
mentality of the two men. InVesti-
CATION shows that they acted alone

WISDOM IN HIS JUDGMENT
Rabbits Decision Worthy Of Any Of
Those That Have Been Cred
tied to Scion.

Many of the best stories among the
Jews are told about rabbis who were
called in to render decision in diff
cult disputes. These decisions are at
times as crafty as those of the ancient
Scion.
A rich Jew, lying on his deathhed.
sent for his brother.
Brother" he said, II am dying. I
leave $50, 900, and l desire you to dis
pose Of my fortune as I instruct you.
Give my wife as much as you want
and keep the remainder for yourself"
He died soon after, and after divtd-
ing the fortune the brother kept $40,-
900 and gave the remaining 10000
to the widow and her children. The
widow, not satisfied with this amount,
complained to the rabbi (who always
appears in the role of the widows
%protector). The rabbi ordered the
brother to appear before him.

He told me to give his widow ID

Precisely" responded the rabbi.
You took $4,000 and gave the widow
$4,000. Therefore, you wanted $40,-
900. Did not your brother say, Give
my wife as much as you want?
Therefore. 1 order that you give her
$4,000. Furthermore, did not your
brother say: Keep the remainder?
Therefore I order you take 80 900.
