THE STORY OF ANOTHER ANT

He Then Finds II Profitable to Speak

Among those who have found it of

death Parker filled out the dates
which had been arranged for the man
from Bellaire, making violent attacks
upon the Church and the priesthood.
The Central Bureau of the Central
Verein has been noting the work of
Parker for some time and has been en-.
deavoring ever since his appearance
last year to obtain some information
in his regard. Up to the present no
such Information could be secured, as

he had purported to come. A few
days ago, however, the desired record
of Billy" came at least in part from
his place of residence, Oil City, Pa.
The story of his past is as follows:
1--WE have made inquiries about this
man and learn that he came here from
Du Bots, Pa, about two or three years
ago; he had there worked in a mine.
They say he is Scotchman and be-
fore going to Du Bots lived in Boston,
Mass.
During his stay in Oil City he was
never looked upon as an anti-Catholic
lecturer, but was leader here among
the Socialists. For reasons unknown,
but upon the most reliable authority,
we know that he was expelled from
the local organization and is pro-
hibited from lecturing under any So
cialistic auspices in the State of Penn
sylvania. The sole reason Parker
chose to turn anti-Catholic lecturer
was for the money there was in it. He
has been in the city for the past week
but has not lectured. We heard that
he intends leaving soon but do not
know his destination"
So Parker for some reason, no doubt
sufficient one, was expelled from the
local organization of the Socialist
Party and prohibited from lecturing
in Pennsylvania under their auspices.
At this juncture, having lost all hope
Of making money in that way, he
seized upon the opportunity offered by
the anti Catholic movement to become
lecturer against the Roman men
ace" 1t is of this stuff that these
enemies of the Church are made.
Disgraced among those with whom
they had chosen to resort, they turn
to this movement Of bigotry and
hatred, knowing full well that they
will find willing dupes there. Is it
not about time that those non-Catho-
lies who are allowing themselves to
be deceived by these knaves should
wake up to the ridiculous part which
they, poor mortals, are playing in this
affair?

May Prove Menace.

If the reported Albanian uprising
against Serbia assumes important pro-
portions. it may prove menace to the
Serbian army, threatened on three sides
by it's enemies, and whose only ap-
parent avenue of escape is into the
Albanian mountains.
Reports reaching Rome from Albania
have been disquieting to the allied ma
tions, as it was said Austria was trying
to stir UP trouble by arming and in
citing Albanian bands to attack the
Serbs and Montenegrins to facilitate
Bulgaria's descent to Durazzo.
1t has been maintained, however, that
factor in favor of Serbia was the
friendship felt for that country by
Essad Pasha, former provisional presi-
dent of Albania, who has large fol-
lowing, and who has been engaged in
guerrilla warfare against his opponents
for some time.

Funston Reports Carranza

in Firing Across Border

CarranZa troops were the main OF
tenders in firing across the border In
the battle at Aqua Prieta, according to
Ia report from Maj. Gen. Funston re-
ceived today at the War Department
The general says both Gales and Villa
did all they could to prevent injury to
American lives and property.
Il could not in fairness have opened
fire on Villa without treating Gales
the same" he added.
Gen. Funston's report, dated last
night, described conditions as satisfac-
tory and added: Il consider the i'm

conference between Gen. Funston and
Villa at the border, of which Gen. Fun
ston says: His (Villa's) attitude was
quite satisfactory"
Whereabouts Not Known.
Gen. Funston reported the where

not definitely known last night. al
though it was rumored he was at Ca
bullona, eighteen miles south of Aqua
Prieta, recuperating his men for an
other attack. A few of his men and
some of his baggage trains have reach
ed Naco, Sonora. American patrols
also reported a camp of about 4,oOu
men opposite osborne, ArlZ. Funston
estimated Villas entire force at about
1000, with thirty-siX pieces of field
artillery and a large number of ma

Contrary to usual Mexican custom
Cen Funston said, Villa had left all
the women, children and camp follow
erS of his army at CaSaS Grandes and
had with him nothing but fighting men,
who displayed excellent spirit through
out the fight. Gen. Funstons report
follows:
Villa Requested Conference.

to me for an interview, and though !

action would be approved. 1 finally con-
cluded it was best to meet him, as he

DOUGLAS, Ariz., November 4. - Al

Aqua Prieta, the Mexican border town
opposite here, Gen. Villa today was said
to have had Carranza officials guessing
what his next move would be. Whether
his plans were concealed from choice or
by force of circumstances, remained a
mystery.
Villa soldiers surrendering to Gales
scouts declared that since his defeat at
Aqua Prieta- their former commander
was planning on distributing his forces
IN small bands to harass Carranza gem
erals in guerrilla warfare.
So urgent was the need for food sup

Cuts Off Reinforcements.

Gen. Gales was said to have cut off
reinforcements en- route to join Villa.
Cen Urbalejo, Yaqui chieftain, was be-
lieved to have escaped the net with 1900
men, having slipped around south and
headed westward to join Villa either at
Naco or on the way to Huaymas and
Mazatlan.
Naco reports said 1900 of Villas troops
had arrived there and 1000 more We're
in sight Whether Villa had definitely
abandoned all idea Of capturing Aqua
Prieta remained a question.
On the American side tension, which
had been high since Mondays battle,
has relaxed. The Douglas schools were
open today for the first time this week.
Not Yet Safe in Aqua Prieta.
Aqua Prieta officials, however. did not
yet consider it safe to have the 5000
women and children in the refugee
camp at Pirtleville returned to the
Mexican town, and no attempt was
made this morning by Gen. Gales to
capture the apparently small detach-
ments Villa left guarding two or more
field pieces which still remained in the
positions taken in Mondays battle east
of Aqua Prieta.
If Villa were in retreat with his
forces demoralized, military observers
on this side believe 1t would be easy
for Gales to move out and scatter his
opponents forces.
The fact that the Carranza garrison
ground for the assumption that Gales
believed Villas movements were strate-
gically designed to draw the CarranZd
forces into the open.
