Mexican constitutionalist soldiers
along the border have received strict
orders from General Carranza, not 10
mix in the Texas revolution.
The Texas revolution is an imag-
inarv internal strife sweeping this
state, which is being widely heralded
in Mexico through the medium or
Carranzista press and officials. Ac-
cordine to various Mexican newspa-
pers. practically every American ex-
cent the soldiers has been swept from
Texas and the revolution" Is threat
enine to spread through the entire
south.
These tales are accepted as ac-
counting to great extent for the In

Mextcans in the last few weeks. They
came to join the revolution" Strict
w Interpreted. Carranza's orders to
General Nafarette, commandant at
Matamoros, meant that 1t was up
to Nafarette to see that there were no
more battles between his men and
United States soldiers. such as oc-
Cured across the Rio Grande near
Mission Saturday. Nafarette, in a
statement to American newspapers
yesterday, placed the burden of re-
sponsibility for the various clashes
along the river on the Texas rangers.
He said il he had to deal with Ameri-

lately, said that the census of 1910 showed that
there were more than $500, 600 persons in the
United States ten years old more unable to
read or write, and that the economic loss to the
Nation was $500 OO0,O 600 each year. The increase
of illiteracy in the Eastern States and especially
in New York, Mr.. Claxton attributed to foreign
immigration. Mr.. Claxton insists that grown peo-
pie can be taught very easily to read and write
and that it is the duty of the Federal Government
to take up the matter practically. Our Nation
should never be satisfied with seventy to the
thousand who cannot read write, when in Ger
many Scandinavia and some other countries the
percentage of illiterates is only three to the
thousand.
Five-and-a half illiterates. over 10 years
old, In our own country and we squander-
ing money on fourteen thousand schools in
foreign lands-not religious Schools but 1T
e9d2y.
Read this description of a new school
building recently erected, an Cuba:
Girls School at NagOya.
The new buildings for the Nagoya Girls School
are nearing completion. They are described as
remarkably commodious and convenient, consider
ing the small amount of funds invested in them.
AS soon as they are fully completed application
will be made for government recognition. When
this has been obtained the patronage Of the school
will be largely increased and it's sphere of useful
ness correspondingly enlarged.
The Presbyterian Executive Committee
then enumerates the needs Of the field:
Needs of the Field.
Reinforcements are called for by the Mission
follows:
The African Mission needs at once two ply
sicans and two trained nurses.
The North Brazil Mission needs two additional
ordained men, and one female teacher
The East Brazil Mission needs two additional
ordained men,
The West Brazil Mission asks for three
dained men.
The two China Missions issued statement of
their needs last year, which remains unchanged
with the exception that female teacher,
trained and physician included in their
call were sent out during the year. The statement
therefore stands at present as follows:
The Mid-China Mission asks for twenty-three
additional missionaries thirteen Of these being
and ten single women.
The North Kiangsu Mission asks for nine men
and twelve single women.
For it's immediate need the Japan Mission asks
for eight ordained men and four single women.
For the ultimate need of the work in that field
large additional achievements are demanded,
but the Mission would be greatly encouraged by
receiving the addition of the number stated above
during the present year.
The total number of renforcements asked for
by the Missions is 68, of whom not less than 35
should be sent during the present year.
Sixtv-eight new missionaries, at 5000
apiece, will add $4,000 to the load, in sal
aries alone.
Then the travelling expenses, the house
rent, and last, but not least, the babies.

PARIS, Jan. 1.-THE following
official statement was issued today:
From the sea TO the Lys there has
violent in its nature than on preced-
ing days. In the region Of Ypres our
artillery has replied to that of the
enemy.
Between the Lys and the Disc, in
the region of LaBoisselle, our troops
have captured one trench after a vio-
lent combat.
ITO the northeast of SOissons, on
height No. 1872, our troops repulseo a
German attack, then they attacked in
their turn and captured two lines of
the enemy's trenches on a front about
500 yards long extending toward the
east.
These trenches are part of those
captured Jan. and assure for US the
possession of all OF height No. 1872.
ION the Aisne and in Champagne
as far as Rheims there have been ar
tillery duels.
From Rheims to the Argonne our
artillery has bombarded the first line
trenches of the enemy and the shell
ters Of his reserves TO the north Of
Perthes, after having repulsed the
counter attack reported from this re
gion last night We have advanced,
gaining a line of trenches 200 yards
long.
Try to Regain Field Fort
"To the north Of Beausejour the
enemy has tried 10 recapture the field
fort which he lost. His counter at
tacks were each made with the
strength of two battalions. the second
being in mass formation. They were
both repulsed after the enemy had
experienced heavy losses.
I'm the ArgOnne there have been
some small engagements. Our front
has been maintained
Between the Meuse and the Mo-
selle that day was quiet.
In the Nosges a heavy snow is
falling Some shells have fallen upon
old Thanh and hill No. 425."
