KILLED BY GALES FIRE
Gen. Villa Says Four Americans Met
Death While Attending Wounded
Under Red Cross Flag.

Douglas, Ariz.-Confirmat of the
killing of four Americans near Aqua
Prieta was received here in a report
from Naco, which said that Gen. Villa
had conveyed the information to Amer
lean officers there. Villa declared the
Americans were killed by Gales fire
while they were aiding wounded.
Preparations have been made to re-
move to Aqua Prieta the 5000 women
and children who took refuge on the
American side when Villa began his
attack on Monday.
Gales sent scouts eastward to YER
ify reports that two Villa guns and
guards left about three miles from the
Aqua Prieta defenses had disappeared.
Fifty-one bodies of Villa soldiers have
been burned on the battlefield. The
rest still lie where they fell. Large
supplies Of food are said to have beben
assembled at .Naco for his army.

to express displeasure at a recent
order by Mayor Thompson for the po-
lice to enforce the state law closing
saloons here Sunday.
The parade was under the direction
of the United Societies for Local Sen-
Government and estimates of the
number of persons in line ranged as
large as 100000. Police said partici-
pants and spectators formed the big
gest Sunday crowd that has gathered
downtown here in many years. Be
sides flags of the United States and
banners of the societies, the walkers
carried banners expressing their polit-
ical and economic sentiments. Some
of these banners read:
"It is less difficult to surrender our
liberty than to acquire"
"If all the fool laws were enforced,
more than half the people would be in
jail"
Some folks regard it crime to be
happy"
The parade was given one of the
greatest oYations Chicago has ever
known.

FUNDS FURNISHED PLOTS
Officials Investigating, Fay the Ger
man, Say Half Million Was Fur
nlshed To Buy Explosives.

New York.-At least 100000 has
been expended in carrying out alleged
German plots in this country in an
effort to prevent war munitions from
reaching the allies, according to a
statement made by one of the officials
investigating the case of Robert Fay,
who claimed to be German army lieu
enant, and five alleged accomplices
Federal authorities have admitted
that they considered unreliable the
lengthy story which Fay readily told
concerning his life history and activ-
tiles in connection with plots made
against the steamships carrying NUM-
lions from this country to the allies.
Fay, it was said, is now believed to
be a Hungarian, whose real name is
Fell.
Federal agents are trying to trace
the source of the large amount OF
money said to have been spent by diff
ferent men in carrying out or attempt
ing to carry out the various bomb
plots.
Fay and Scholz, his brother-in-law,
were closely scrutinized by SER
geant of marines from the Brooklyn
Navy Yard. He was on duty, 1t is
said, when an Internal machine was
attached to the rudder post of the bat
tleship Texas some time ago.
The story that an Internal machine
was affixed to the battleship when 1t
was in the navy yard was at the time
officially denied. But the presence
of the marine at the court house re-
vived the report.
The sergeant of marines brought
with him small square box, which
1t was said was the internal machine
alleged to have been attached to the
Texas.

TURN OVER TIME
When Nature Hints About the Food.

When there's no relish to food and
all that one eats doesn't seem to dc
any good then is the time to make a
turnover in the diet, for that's Ma
lures way of dropping hint that the
food isn't the kind required.
For a number of years | followed
railroad work, much of it being office
work of trying nature. Meal times
were our busiest; and eating too much
and too quickly of food such as is
commonly served in hotels and res
taurants, together with the sedentary
habits, were not long in giving me dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble which re-
duced my weight from 200 to LOO
pounds.
There was little relish in any food
and none of it seemed to do me any
good. 1t seemed the more I ate the
poorer I got and was always hungry
before another meal, no matter how
much I had eaten.
Then commenced trial of Grape
Nuts food, and was surprised how a
small saucer of it would carry me
along, strong. and with satisfied appe-
title, until the next meal, with no sem
sations of hunger, weakness or dis
tress as before.
Il have been following this diet now
for several months and my improve
ment has been so great all the others
in my family have taken up the use
Of Grape-Nuts with complete satisfac-
tiun and much Improvement in health.
Most people eat hurriedly, have
lots of worry, thus hindering digestion
and therefore need a food that is pre-
digested and concentrated in nourish-
ment."

CAPTURE OF SERB WAR CAPITAL
OPENS RAILROAD TO
TURKEY. y
GREEK STATUS UNCHANGED
French and English Rush Troops
From SaIoniki to Aid Defend.
ers-Hard Pressed BY
Teutons.

London.-The Bulgarians have oc-
cupied Nish, the Seryian war capital,
which gives them complete control of
the railway from Prahovo, on the Den
ube, and thus opens through route
for the central powers to Sofia and
Constantinople.
In addition the Bulgarian and Ger
man main armies have effected juno.
ton at Krivivir, so that the campaign,
which has been somewhat slower than
expected, probably will move at a
faster pace. In fact, except for the
southern part of Servia, the invasion
Is already gathering more Roadway,
and despite Servian resistance, all the
invading armies have made consider
able progress.
In the south, however, the allied
forces appear to be too strong for the
Bulgarians, who admit that they are
faced by superior numbers. It is re-
ported through the German legation at
Athens that the British, French and
Servians have inflicted severe de-
feat on the Bulgarians at IzvOr, 10
miles west of the Vardar river, where
the French left wing joins the right
of the Servian southern army, and
that the Bulgars are retreating toward
Veles.
More allied troops are being sent
from Saloniki to the scene Of the fight
ing in the hope that they will be able
by the capture of Veles to compel the
Bulgarians, who advanced west of U.s.
kub, to retire, and clear the Saloniki-
Mitrovitza railway SO that assistance
can be sent to the Servian northern
army.
All assistance that reaches the Ser
vians apparently must be sent by the
British and French, for, despite the
defeat Of the Zaimis government and
the triumph of Venizelos in the Greek
chamber, there is no evidence that
Greece intends to change her policy.

RUSSIANS ON OFFENSIVE
Make Counter-Attacks at Three
Places Along Line.

London.-Having checked the Ger
man offensive along the whole eastern
front, except directly west Of Riga,
where the nature of the ground makes
an advance difficult, the Russians have
started a counter-offensive at three
points-west Of Dvinsk, on the Styr in
Volhynia and on the Stripa in Galicia.
On the Stripa River they claim to have
won great victory and to have cap
tured 5000 prisoners, although admit
ting that the battle continues. They
also claim successe elsewhere.
The Germans, on their side, assert
that all the Russian attacks have been
repulsed with heavy losse to the Rus
slams in killed, wounded and prison
ers.
From an unofficial source 1t also is
reported that the Russians are advanc-
ing in strong forces and have captured
important positions near Czernowitz-
movement calculated more than any
thing else to influence Roumania.

British and French, continue their re-

THE GREEK MINISTRY QUITS
Parliament Refuses To Vote Their
Confidence In Premier Zaimis-
venizeIos Party Triumphs.

London.-The defeat of the Greek
government in the Chamber of Depu-
ties and the consequent resignation
of the Zaimis cabinet Is the latest SEN
sation afforded by the Balkans.
While it was understood that Eleu-
therios Venizelos, former premier, had
the power to turn the government out
whenever he desired, having the ma.
jority in the Chamber, the fall Of Zai-
mis- came Unexpectedly, as 1t was be-
lieved that the leader Of the majority
had decided to accord the premier suf-
ficient support to enable him to re.
main in office for the present at least.
AS so often happens, however, a vote
Of confidence was demanded by the
government on a matter II minor inn
portance-some difference of opinion
between M. Venizelos and the minister
of war, Gen. Yanakitsas, on military
proposals-and the government was
defeated, 147 to ia.
BY handing the resignation of his
cabinet to King Constantine, M. Zai-
mis- again places on the king the re-
sponsibility of deciding the future pol
icy of his country. In London the first
impression was that the governments
defeat would mean the immediate re-
call of M. Venizelos and the fulfillment
of the original agreement between him
and the allied powers to go to Servia )
assistance.
Later dispatches from Athens, how
ever, indicated possible dissolution OF
parliament Should this occur, 1t
would be at least two months before
an election could be held and the new
Chambet meet.
In the meantime either the Zaimis
cabinet, the resignation Of which has
not yet been accepted, with perhaps a
change in the ministry Of war, or some
other cabinet favoring the kings pol
icy of continued neutrality, would have
charge of affairs, and consequently
there would be no change in the mill
tary situation.

VILLAS INTENTION PUZZLES
Rebel Chief May BE Making For Coast
Cities, Where He Can Obtain
Supplies.

Douglas, AriZ-Whether Gen. Fran.
cisco Villa intends to press home his
attack on Aqua Prieta or pass up the
border town and play for bigger
game, the western coast cities of Quay
mas and MaZatlan, which would give
him ports for securing much-needed
supplies, is a problem that is puzzling
both the American army officers here
and the Carranza forces in Aqua Pri-
eta.
The Villa army has begun to move
from that Aqua Prieta toward Naco
and that town has reported 500 Villa
troops already there. approximately
1000 others were reported by train
passengers as having been seen along
the road leading toward Naco.
It is known, too, that Villa agents
have been endeavoring to purchase
much-need supplies Of flour and corn,
and preparations have been made at
Naco to take care of those wounded
in the fight around Aqua Prieta.
On the other hand, Gen. Gales
scouts report that the main body of
Villas army, REINFORCED by an un-
known number of men from the east,
is still within few miles of Aqua
Prieta. Villa has succeeded in getting
near to water supply at Calladones and
Anavacachi pass and limited food sup
plies also have reached him. Wagon
trains loaded with supplies Of ammuni-
ton have been passing from the east.
Villa dead left on the field around
Aqua Prieta are 336. Two hundred
were counted lying west of Aqua Prize
ia and 1876 to the east Gales dead
were Is soldiers and his wounded 10.
