to direct it's destinies as did Presi-

events in our Civil war Accordingly
when Villa commenced his military
campaign against CarFanza the latter
had not single soldier directly under
his personal command. His only
strength lay in the justice Of his cause
and the only means he used to or

Carranza withdrew from Mexico
City and established the national cap

Pathetic in its note of helplessnc3s

Story Of Convention.
The convention on November 9Th
passed a resolution calling for the re.
tirement Of both Carranza and Villa
Antonio 1. Villareal, Chairman Of the
convention, thus describes subsequent
events:
"After the absurd selection Of Gen
eral Gutierrez as Provisional Presi
dent for 20 days, which had been done
in Difference to the wishes of Zapata.
myself and three others were commits
stoned to serve notice On the First
Chief that he was to resign. Villa
had already agreed, so his representa-
tives stated, to tender his resignation.
We would have shortly secured Car
ranza's retirement had not General
Gutierrez, bullied into action by pres
sure brought upon him by Villa, sum-
moned the latter to Aguascalientes
ard placed him in command of all the
military forces in the country.
"This act violated the previous reso.
luton of the convention and was con-
trary to it's own mandates, or in other
words, contrary to the desires Of what
was left Of it, as it must be remem-
bered that out of the 155 registered
delegates many had withdrawn for one
reason or another until at last there
were only 60 members left and Is out
of this 60 had been recalled by their
signatories. A quorum in the conVen.
ton necessitated 70 delegates.
"a brief resume of the situation at
this critical time might be stated as
follows: We said to Carranza: Retire
or we will fight you, your retirement
being made with the understanding
that Villa will be forced to withdraw.
We said to General Gutierrez and to
the convention: That Villa retire or
we will fight him and uphold the reso-
luton of the convention, Villas re-
tirement being with the understanding
that Carranza will be forced to retire
"The reply we received from Cen
eral Gutierrez was that he had gwen
Villa the command of the forces Whlcn
were to fight against Carranza; tnat
is, he had violated the fundamental
resolution Of the convention, Wh1ch
was the basis of the whole agreement
and the essential condition of our obll-
cation.
This violent and illegal decision re-
lieved US Of every obligation toward
an assembly without patriotism or
moral force, the tool Of an ambitious
ana savage faction to which we had
SHOWN undeserved complacency out
OF love for peace, but whose blind and
unconultlonal figureheads we could
not and would not be.
Thereupon we decided with full
consciousness Of our act, certain that
we were following the course Of IA.
triotism and duty, to fight Francisco
Villa with all our force until we had
removed from the horizon of the ma.
ton this menace Of reaction and bar.
barity."

rather than military man. From the

entes convention and Professor David
Berlango, another distinguished mem.
Der of the convention, both of whom
had been brutally murdered by the
orders of Villa.
He says: "The members of the
Aguascalientes convention which was
now meeting in Mexico City, justly
alarmed by these daily murders, in.
formed me that they desired to change
their residence from Mexico City to
the town of San Luis Potosi, where
they expected to convene in safety.
"a large number Of the members Of
the convention proceeded to the above
city and General Villa having been in.
formed by his agents Of what had hap.
pered had the audacity to issue or.
ders of arrest and execution against
these persons whose immunity was
absolute and who were the source
from which Villa derived the authority
with which he is invested.
Delegates Flee.
t'In view Of these terrible orders the
delegates, carrying the flag Of the con.
vention, called for protection on the
Carranza Governor of The State OF
Nuevo Laredo, in which State they
are at present"
Indicative of what an empty honor
Gutierrez held, and how the so-calIcd
convention party now means but one
man-Villa-is the following excerpt
from the same narrative:
con Sunday, December 31st, Cen
eral Villa came to my home, revolver
in hand, accompanied by ten or
twelve armed men, besides two thou.
sand cavalry, who surrounded my
house and removed the meager guard
of twenty men who were defending
me. With the courage instilled in him
by such an array of force, Wills sh91c-
fully insulted me and hurled haseless,
notifying and criminal charges at
me.
with shame and indignation I had
to be a spectator of all these outrages
because I did not have sufficient force
to halt the reign Of murder and rol
berry that Villa conducted"
The flight Of Gutierrez from Mexico
City, accompanied by many prominent
men in the so-called Convention
party, strikingly illustrated to the
world the impossibility of this or any
other kindred government ruling in
Mexico that was not subserVient to the
wishes of Villa
The abandonment of Gutierrez and
tho other prominent men Of the Con-
vention party has left Villa isolated
and alone and made the issue in Next
20 now definite and certain. 1t is:
Shall Villa be allowed to become the
dictator of the country, or shall the
people themselves rule!

Ore Can't dear" Disease on Self.


THE belief that disease may be
brought on by merely fearing that one
may contract it is q curious relic of
barbarisIn," says Dr. Fl. ". Hill of the
Minnesota Public Health association.
"You cannot fear a disease on your
SELF any more than you can wish a
disease on anyone else.
"Tha infectious diseases are due to
forces, germs, wholly distinct from
ourselves. The fear OF smallpox could
never bring a smallpox germ to the
body any more than mental defiance
Of it could prevent its growing once it
was in. The germ is as raal = particle
of matter as 4 mountain. and not &
bit more susceptible to hygaolism by
the human mind"

GET RID Of HUMORS

Dry, moist, sealy letter, all forms
of eczema or salt rheum, pimples
and other eruptions come from
humors, which may be either in

To treat these eruptions with dry
ing medicines is dangerous.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old reli-
able medicine, helps the system to
discharge the humors, and TO i'm

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as thev cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is bv constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is irnamed you have a rum
hing sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness
is the result. and unless the inflamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition. hear

cases out of ten are caused by Ca

HOSPITAL SHIP
IN BRITISH SERVICE

London, Feb. 27.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)-The Brit
ish Red Cross hospital ship Asturias,
which the allies assert, was subjected
to a submarine attack, is by far the
finest ship in the British service. 1t
niles between Havre and Southamp-
ton. In the old days, the ship was IN
the South American passenger ser
vice and was then noted for its lux
urious accommodations and steadiness
in rough weather. Luxurious tttings
are now cleared away, but nothing has
been lost on the side of comfort.
There are twelve hundred swinging
beds for the wounded, who receive ey-
cry care possible in land hospital.
While surgical operations at sea are
generally avoided on hospital ships,
unless of minor kind, the operating
theatre of the Asturias is so well
equipped that many serious cases are
handled there.
The Asturias is painted white with
green stripes, and carries a huge
square cross painted in red amidships
on both sides. At night, the red cross
is Illuminated by electric lights, and
can be seen clearly from a long dis
tance. Besides the doctors and order
lies there are twenty women nurses
aboard.
