The display of moral cowardice which
prompted an automobilist to throw the
body of victim of his machine into
the river is scarcely conceivablei yet such
a display is indicated by the finding of a
body at Bridgewater Mass, coupled with
which is the testimony that an automo-
bile was seen TO stop at the scene and
also the evidence that the victims head
was nearly severed from the body by the
impact. Such an sutomobiist should be
run TO earth; and the search should be
pushed with utmost energy. Let him be
made to pay the penalty.

The publicity campaign carried on by
Vermont apple growers at the New Eng
land fruit show in Boston during the lat
ter part of October is already producing
results in two notable ways, first by
bringing before the eastern section of
the country the excellence of Vermont's
product and the possibility for Others to
take up the work. In connection with
the latter result, it is encouraging that
inquiries are beginning to come in as re-
CARDS the requirement of land for apple

Galveston, Texas, June 12.-General
Carranza to-day refused to confer with
General Villa for the purpose of es-
tablishing peace in Mexico, according
to advices from Vera Cruz. Carranza
declares that he is the First Chief and
will never confer with a rebel. He con-
strues the Presidents note to mean
that he is TO be recognized as the
leader of the Mexican factions.
1t is reported that a big battle will
be fought at Liberia, which may decide
the fate Of Mexico. Generals Villa
and Angeles have assembled large
forces Of infantrymen and artillery.
On this battle hangs the question Of

FL Paso, Tex. June l2.-General
Villa, in note to President Wilson
expresses his Willingness ito invite a
new union Of all MeXicans to work to-
gether to insure the triumph of the
revolutionary principles. especially the
egrarian problem and the extension OF
instruction among the poorer classes
Another note signed by Villa has
been sent to General Carranza asking
him TO agree to a conference OF leaders
in Mexico "to unite and reOrganiZe."
The note states that propositions are
being placed before Emiliano Zapata
and Rogue Gonzales Cara.
No explanation from General Villa
in this connection is had Of the re-
ported BUSTING OF Cara from the Capt.
tol at Mexico City. CARA was chosen
Provisional President by the Aguas-
calientes convention Of Mexican chiefs
several months ago.
General Villa, in his invitation for a
conference, gives two reasons for his
action; First, that unless the Consti-
tutionalists reorganize the government
the Cientificos will again get control
under the guise of another name; and,
second, unless conditions In Mexico i'm
prove the United States will intervene

Japanese Crisis Over,
Russia Again Gets Shells

Washington. June 12.-The sudden
collapse of the Russian armies IN the
Carpathans was directly attributable
10 the recent crisis between China and
Japan. according to information here.
According to these accounts, at the
beginning Of the war Russia turned to
Japan for n vast supply of ammuni-
ton, small arms and even cannon. So
all Japanese reserve ammunition which
could safely he spared was dispatched
overland 20 Russia. In addition, the
japanese arms factories and metal
works began great contracts.
When the negotiations between emma
and Japan suddenly assumed a critica!
phase the Japanese government held
onto these supplies to use in case the
Chinese should actually go to war, or
some Of the powerful nations which
guaranteed Chinese integrity might in
tervene. as result. the Russians
soon exhausted their ammunition, and
their armies were almost helpless. APP
peals were made to Japan to loosen
the embargo and pressure was brought
TO bear on that country through her
allies, so it is understood that now
the current of supply has again been
established

Washington, June l2.--The British
Ambassador called at the State De-
partment to-day to lay before Secre-
tary Lansing a written memorandum
on conditions prevailing in the oil
region around Tuxpam, Mexico, where
great British interests are concentrat-
ed. He sought no assistance, but
brought the memorandum at the re-
quest Of the State Department.
The so-called Pearson interests are
centred at Tuxpam. There is consid-
cradle fighting going on in the region
about the oil fields. and, according TO
the ambassadors report, it is the fight
ing of detached bands which may do
untold mischief.
Thus far no Expectations have been
reported. The territory is very much
disturbed, however, and the British
concessionaires fear that grave damage
may be done If the United States does
not promptly warn the factional
leaders.

The Germans have made another

They call him "Ths Sphinx" in Ger
many-that quiet, unassuming man
with the square jaw and the clear blue
penetrating eyes. who, next to Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg, is the most
popular military leader in Germany to-
day. Like Won Hindenburg, Lieutenant
General August Won Mackensen was
practically unknown, even in Germany,
until he penetrated the iron ring OF
the Russian forces around Lodz early
in January, and achieved victories over
superior Russian forces at Lowicz and
Wloclawek. His recent victories in Ga
licia have won for him the Iron Cross
of the Fl st and second class and the
elevation to the highest distinction in
the German army-the title of Field
Marshal.
Won Mackensen was born on Deem
Der 6, lS49, being the second son Of q
Country gentleman" in Merseburg,
Saxony. His father intended to make
a lawyer of him. He graduated from
the gymnasium in Halle and then
attended the University of Berlin. In
the fall of 1869 he entered the I'd Reg
iment of the Berliner "Leibhusaren'

Kaiser. TO serve his one year of COM
pulsOry military service.
Fought as a Private.
When war between Germany and
France broke out in 1870 young Mas
kensen was sent to the front as a pri-
waite. A few weeks afterward he dis
tinguished himself in battle and was
promoted to a lieutenancy. During the
famous charge Of the Pruss'an and
Saxon cavalry at -la-Tour, Lieu
tenant Won Mackensen's bravery was
brought TO the notice of Emperor Will
lam !, who rewarded him with the
Order of the Red Eagle and promoted
him to a captaincy. Before the war
was over he had been made colonel of
the regiment in which he had been a
private.
At the close Of the war Van Macken.
sen became again civilian. At the re-
quest Of his father he resumed the
study of law. But his experiences IN
the army had stirred in him the desire
to devote the remainder of his life tc
service for Kaiser and country. With
out the consent of his father he en-
tered the regular army as a lieutenant
In 1878. Three years later ne was ap-
pointed adjutant of the lst Cavalry
brigade, stationed at Koenigsberg. Dur.
ing the fall mannuvres he distinguished
himself to such a degree that the En-
peror appointed him an adjutant on
the Imperial Staff.
Shortly afterward ne married the
daughter of the President OF the Prov
ince of East Prussia, Doris Won Horn
Twelve years later she died, leaving
him three sons, all of whom are nov
officers in the German army. In 1905
