Tia Juana Situation.

San Diego, Jan. 14.-That another
revolution in Lower California is fo
menting and that fighting is likely tc
develop at the border town of Tia
Juana within the next few days is the
report received here tonight. Baltha
zar Avllez, former Villa governor OF
Lower California, is said to have re-
cruited a force of $50 Mexicans al
Los Angeles, who are mobilizinp or
the border to the eastward of Tia
Juana. Avilez is said to have now
sworn allegiance to Carranza and is
receiving the help of that general ir
bis contemplated invasion of the lower
peninsula.
Colonel Esteban Mendista, a Villa
adherent and military governor of
Lower California, received $50 rein
forcementS at Tia Juana from Ensen-
ada at noon today in addition to two
wagonloads of ammunition apd dyna
mite, and three machine guns. BE.
fore nightfall the dynamite had been
placed around the border towns with
the machine guns placed in an en-
fllading position. Local MeXicans are
confident that Carranza will back
Avilez to the limit and that the Vii
la forces at Tia Juana and Ensenada
will be forced to fight before the sit
uation is brought to close.
FL Paso, Jan. 14.-Carranzista head
quarters received a dispatch from
Vera Cruz today stating that Zapata's

Germans Get the Best.

London, Jan. 14.-The Germans APP
parently are having all the best of
the terrific battle now raging to the
northeast of Soissons. Reports from
Berlin and Paris war office agree that
the French are giving ground before
the terrific onslauehts of the Kais-
er's forces.
This stubborn resistance is Ger
many's first answer to the new French
plan to invade upper Alsace. While
the French armies further east are
presumably preparing to sweep up
toward Metz, the German strategy
seems to be to hurl such an avalanche
of men at the center that the need

there and has demanded the surren-

he stands for established government.

Carranza was undisputed that he as
sumed authority.
A few months. since he was visited
by General Angeles, who is now the
chief military authority under Villa,
and it is not known how Colonel Can

There is no question that large
American property interests in Mex

distribution of large estates among
the people of Mexico.
Regarding the situation at Calexico.
it is learned that General Leyva's Gre

Northern district of Lower California

Minister of War Robles dated January

DREAMS THAT COME TRUE.

And Those That Don't and the Work
. ings of the Sleep Mind.
OF course, some dreams come true.
The most hardheaded business man
will have to admit It, But the proper
ton of them? That's where people
differ.
Few people, If any. sleep without
ireaming, and even on the basis of only
one dream night this would mean
over seventeen thousand dreams for

Of us can recall even seventeen &C.
casions In which coming event has
been forecasted In dream. The
prophecy that comes true is remem-
bcred because the actual occurrence
brings to memory the concepts in the
dream. the others are forgotten.
Since our dreams are woven from the
fabric of our lives. and our lives, after
ali, run along In fairly narrow grooves,
1t would be astounding If some of them
did not Juggle our Impressions In such
wise as to seem to forecast something
new. The mathematical doctrine of
chances alone suffices to justify the
dreams that strike right. After all,
one in thousand isn't so many.
The dreams that give right answers
to problems. too, are evidences not only
Of prophecy, but also of the existence
OF sleep mind which works differently
from the waking mind.
The sleep mind, which works by in
tuition, gains, as well as loses, by its
freedom from the shackles Of logic and
reason. Conclusions based on reason
are often utterly unsound, because we
do not know all the reasons, whereas
an intuitive conclusion, which is the
outcome OF emotion, may be inherently
right.
Wherefore when a serious question
awaits decision II Is not a sign of in
determinateness. but an evidence of
wisdom, to say. II want to sleep on
that"
Quite unconsciously we do this some
times, believing the answer to be mere
ly ruse to gain time. Truly our In
tent is to take a change of venue, to
have the point settled by the sleep
mind, which is free from the shackles
OF prejudice and custom.-New York

JEFFERSON'S HOME.
MtanticeIlo, With Its View of the UNI
versity of Virginia.

A mansion on Monticello C'little
mountain" pronounced 'Montechel-
lo'), was Jefferson's boyhood dream.
He worked at it all his life with an
artists creative zeal.
The road from Charlottesville is wind
ing, hilly and rough. Rows Of big
stepping stones cross it, lifting pedes-
TRANS out of the red mud, but jolting
needless drivers.
Visitors may stay in the grounds
twenty minutes, but must bring no
luncheons. Jefferson's guests stayed
weeks and ate him into poverty.
From the servants quarters a long
sunken way runs under the house to
the ice house and other storage be-
yond. The fat roof of this walk, two
feet above ground, is dry promenade.
Over the icehouse is an outlook plat
form. Icehouse and servants quar-
ters are half underground, with win
dows only on the far side. jefferson
looked out over them east toward
Washington, west toward the Univer-
sity Of Virginia. whose beginnings he
watched with his telescope when he
could no longer walk.
Students enjoy the most beautiful
and inspiring scholastic shades in the
new world. Jefferson's university is
artistic perfection, reverently preserv-
ed. Toward the town the curved walls
he designed to save brick and labor
for poor institution still stand. The
length Of each wave line curve Is
twenty feet. Its width, forty inches,
gives the stability of three foot wall
to one only four inches thick. The
effect is pleasing.
Jefferson was better architect than
Washington, and perhaps his equal In
landscape gardening and estate plan
ming.
On Jefferson's gravestone at Month
cello no mention of the presidency is
made, but his authorship of the Dec
laration and the Virginia statute of
religious liberty is recited and that he
was the "Father of the University of
Virginia. New York World.

In military circles there

In military circles there is
said to be a growing feeling
that the United States viii
soon intervene to restore
order in Mexico. That would
mean the use of an army, and
as Intervention has long been
a subject which army men
have discussed and speculated
on because they are the ones
who would be charged with
the task, it is natural to pre-
sumo that they have watched
the chaotic conditions more
keenly than others and are
therefore in better position
to Judge as to the hopeless
ness of those conditions and
as to the time for some nation
to intervene. From the mill
tary viewpoint, then, the time
for this government to throw
an army into Mexico to
restore peace and set up a
stable government is at hand.
Without doubt it would
be a task OF years and require
a large number of troops.
However, in the absence of
any popular demand in this
country for Intervention and
the fact that action along that
line hangs largely on political
expediency, it is very proba-
bic that Intervention is as far
away now as it ever was, not
outstanding the spirit of the
Monroe doctrine and interests
OF humanity and commercial
ism may beckon and appeal.
