Will Renew Attack On Carranza As
Soon AS He Can Muster More
Men And Arms

Brownsville, TeXas.-Failing in their
attempt to dislodge the Carranza gar
rison by rife and machine gun fire,
Villa forces besieging Matamoras vir-
utally ceased their attacks, awaiting
it was announced, the arrival of ar
tillery.
In the event of an artillery duel
Brownsville, directly across the Rio
Grande from Matamoros, would be en-
dangered and one Of the grayest of
border crises is feared, The likeli-
hood of shells falling in Brownsville
was demonstrated by the rife bullets
which dropped here during the first
Villa assault on Matamoros trenches,
costly failure of Villa forces, in
which their losses were officially Civ
en- is. 10 Killed and 400 wounded.
This attack was a head-strong dash
of 1000 mounted rifiemen
The Carranza losses were ten killed
and forty-fve wounded. Two persons

Submarine F-4
Sunk Off Honolulu

MakaaIa began to tow their ind
they were not certain that it was the
submarine they had hooked-toward
shallow water. Quantities of oil came
to the surface, proof that it really was
the lost vessel. Soon afterward a sub
marine marker buoy. discovered far
below the water, removed all doubt
that the F-4 had been found.
For more than an hour the tug and
the steamer struggled with their I'M
wieldy burden. Soon afterwards it
became apparent that it would be i'm
possible TO tow the submarine near
enough to shore to bring her to the
surface and a hurry call was sent to
the naval station for wrecking ship.
Naval authorities admitted they had
given up hope for the F-4's crew.
however resuscitating apparatus had
been despatched to the scene and ev-
cry effort will be made to develop
any spark of life that may remain.
The general opinion is that the YES
sells plates were sprung through the
depth of so fathoms and that the two
officers and nineteen enlisted men
aboard have persisted. Vessels in the
vicinity equipped with submarine sig.
nal apparatus continued to send out
signals, but no answers came.

MUSCoVlTE ARMY ENCOURAGED
BY VICTORY AT PRZEMYSL,
TAKES ON NEW LIFE
Pertograd Predicts Southern Neigh
bors Will Soon Be Suing
For Peace

LondOn.-The size of the garrison
OF Przemysl and the number of men
who surrendered to the Russians
greatly exceed all estimates Accord
ing to Petrograd dispatches the gar
rison originally consisted of 10000
men, of whom 10000 were killed. Near
ly 10000 surrendered when the fort
ress capitulated
A blizzard, which has interfered
with the Geographic service, prevents
details of the surrender from coming
through, but Lemberg reports that for
seven days prior to the fall of the
fortress the people of the town had
nothing to eat and the Russians, who
took in large supplies of provisions,
were welcomed as liberators.
Dispatches from Lemberg also say
that $4,000 persons were found suffer
ing from typhus or cholera and that
the work of disinfecting the place is
being undertaken theoretically. The
interior forts, it is said, were found
intact, with a good deal of ammuni-
ton in them.
To Begin Drive On Cracow
Everywhere in Europe, both in bel
ligerent and neutral countries, the
greatest credit is given the Austrians
for their long and stubborn resistance,
which has delayed and interfered with
the Russian campaign in other direc-
tons.
Now that the Russians, whose num-
bers, like those of the Austrians, must
have been greater than estimated, no
longer are compelled to invest this
fortress, big movement either against
Cracow or in the Carpathians doubt
less will be started. With their north
ern lines protected by the morass into
which the greater part of Poland is
converted during the spring months,
the Russians are expected to throw
all their strength against the Austri-
ans and attempt finally to crush them.
One British military critic stakes
his reputation on the prophecy that
Cracow will fall within a month and
that when it does, or before, Austria
will endeavor to conclude a separate
peace.

Large Wives Not Deserted
Wives who are physically large and
who are willing workers seldom are

Bad Track Caused Wreck
Derailment of "a Southern railway
train next Tuxedo, N. c., on August

of the fireman and injuries to nine
passengers, was attributed primarily
to track conditions, in a report issued

Russians Moving
On To Cracow


In planning for summer vacations
or visits back home, try to include
the International and Worlds Union
convention to be held in Chicago, 7-l2;
and if you wish also to go to San
Francisco there is the splendidly con-
Quoted special train Of Illinois En-
deavorers from Chicago after our
convention closes. State President
ID. B. Curry is transportation mana
ger for Florida and we expect to have
enough delegates for car to meet
others en- route; all together forming
full train of Endeavorers before
Chicago is reached. There will be
reduced railroad rates.
We read much of Cleanup weeks,
and such necessary and healthful and
identifying civic plans, and sometimes
wonder what the Endeavorers are do
ing. The last society organized, in
Grove Park, North-Central district,
is planning street cleaning bees, and
a special form of good work is this
way, trimming the live oaks, which
adorn this town like so many others
in our state. Once when travelling
through Nebraska in time of drouth
we saw often little flower plo.s near
the depots, a contrasting vivid green
compared with the barren, sun burnt
scenes around; and we thought, II
people in Florida had more to contend
with in making things beautiful, per-
haps they would try to do it harder
In this part of the middle-west just
mentioned even the trees have to be
planted, and here it seems tiresome
often even caring for those nature
gives so generously, or with small eff
fort on our part to protect through
winter or dry spells.
Hawthorne Presbyterians report
their new society doing well, and so
is another late organization Of North
Central, the Junior work in Lake But
Ter Christian church. At Palma Sofa,
a Junior society started this Endeav-
or year, their superintendent, Mrs.
Allison, reports excellent work done,
the Junior topic books from BostO1
being used with good results. Palma
Sola also has a grown-up society,
making a bright, new spot in South
Western district growth for the year
ending April 1st
Miss Anna j. Gum of Stuart, will
attend the Jacksonville convention
there representing the far-the rest
down district, Southeastern. We
hope the district presidents haymg
fewer miles to come will follow her
example in attendance.
State Treasurer George Cavanagh
and his brother Earl, president Of
Southwestern district, hope to get
to Jacksonville. They also send a
delegate from the United Brethren
society of Tampa in which the Ca
vanagh brothers are active workers.
Do not forget the date, April 1918.
Programs will soon be out and if you
want one write D. B. Curry, box els,
Jacksonville. Our State President,
Mr.. Curry, is very busy these days,
and his roommate, District President
&C Pettyjohn, making his typewriter
have a c. E. record for such coed
work.
Next Sundays topic is Conquer
ing Discouragement." Let US do it.
Years ago your press superintendent
read, "Discouragement is from the
devil" 1t stuck in her memory ana
has helped over many rough places.

Villa Suffers a
Bloody Defeat

were struck by bullets in Brownsville.
Neither was seriously injured
The coming Villa artillery must be
powerful, enough to cope with nine
3-inch field pieces of the defenders,
none of which was fired In addition,
the CarranZa troops are said to have
four 8 1-2-inch guns.
Concealed machine guns won several
brilliant successes for the Carranaa
forces in the opening fight. A troop Of
$50 Villa cavalry, circling five miles
south of Brownsville, approached un-
Willingly at a town named Rositas, a
machine gun trench hidden by brush
They were trOtting past this trench
when the machine guns opened fire
Nearly the entire Villa dead were said
to have fallen at this point, while al
most to a man the others were wound
ed. This incident explains why so
many Of the Villa wounded who were
brought here were hit in the left side.

THE entire CREW Persisted
Heroic Efforts Made To Raise Craft
Which Was Located In Fifty
Fathoms OF Water

Honolulu, Hawaii-The American
submarine F-4 was lost off Honolulu
harbor Heroic efforts were made to
raise the stricken craft, but after hav
ing been submerged for more than
thirty hours it was regarded as doubt
full whether any of her crew of twen-
ty-one men remained alive.
To lift the little vessel to the sur
face, it was found necessary to send
to the Pearl Harbor naval station for
a derrick and crane. This involved
much loss of time and it was thought
the fate of the crew might not be de-
termined until daylight.
