 WORK|NG'F0R PEACE
Universal Peace Movement Being Supported by I. Q. 0. F. Bound
 to Have Good Effect.

That the peace movement is being widely spread is evidenced by the fol- lowing resolutions which were passed by the grand lodge, Independent Or der of Odd Fellows, and sent to the lodges to be endorsed. The resolu- tions follow:
 Whereas, large part of the civiliz- ed world is now engaged in gigan- tic struggle for supremacy on land and sea, in which lands have been de- vastated, cities burned and destroy ed, women and children left home less and starving, millions of men killed and wounded, and yet the ter rible agencies of death and destruc- tion are continuing with even greater fury in their work of ruin and death, and
 Whereas, odd Fellowship is found- ed upon the great cardinal principles of "Friendship, Love and Truth" and teaches that man should love his neighbor as himself, and live in peace with all men, and that he should ab- hor contention, strife and war, and
 Whereas, we believe that a united effort of our Great Order would have a far-reaching influence in promot- ing the sentiment of peace through out our land, and the ultimate estab- lishment of an international agree. Iment for permanent peace. and Whereas, the Grand Lodge oi Washington (with other jurisdic'
 tions) has requested that all Subor' ldinate Lodges in this Jurisdiction
 shall through their membership send
 for an appeal in the name of peace
 and humanity, to the Congress of the
 United States, the President. and al
 in authority over us, urging that thi'
 nation shall use every effort consis Itent with international intercourse t'
 bring about peace among the nations

Jernoon two miles north OF where a

tructure. About twenty shots were
ired, according to the train crew, but
20 one was injured Five bullets
struck the locomotive and several hit
lhc caboose. Four men, apparently
Mexicans, were seen along the rail-
Dad right of way, according to mem
lers of the train crew. but they could
rot say If they were the parties firing
.he shots.
There were no reports of further
lighting in the brush country north of
Brownsville today, the Mexican thieves
having apparently disbanded, for the
time being at least.
General Emiliano Nafarrate, COM
mander OF the Carranza garrison at
Matamoros, opposite this place, in
formed American authorities here last
night that he. would adopt any sug-
gestions they might make for cooper
alton on the Mexican side of the
boundary that would lead to the cap
ture of armed parties attempting to
cross the Rio Grande in either direc-
tion.

Nineteen Fourteen was the banner

that the latter state will this year

Among the independents" there is
great optimism. This is evidenced
by the attitude of H. H. Tucker Jr.,
