No Congrssulations."

When Otto Edward Leopold von Bismarck Schoenhausen was born the embarrassed parents wrote to their friends: Kindly dispense with con- gratulations." Why? The event hap pened in Germany, where All Fools day was still significant. But Bis marck was born to take the sting out of Der Tag. On one thing, however, he remained a fool nearly his whole life long-his idolatry of beer. His reply to those opposed to him in this mat ter would probably have been to pro- duce huge silver jug and fill it with Bavarian beer. That is the head" he would say, "of Field Marshal Derf- finger, conQuerCr of the Swedes, and one of my ancestors" This DerfIlinger, when boy, was apprenticed to tailor. His master sent him for jug of beer On his way back he drank up the beer, and in terror en. listed-"with much advantage to the Fatherland," as Bismarck pointed out. But beer proved Bismarck's un- doing, and he had to abandon the hab- it by medical advice.

After the storm cleared I was convinced that Judge Doug. las was a powerful influence in having the misunderstanding satisfactorily adjusted. He has given the Mexican situation a great deal of careful study; has been the constitutionalists' adviser from the be- ginning, and a more careful person in the whole country could not have been selected by the onstitutonalsts He is in complete accord with the First Chief and his scholarly cabinet, and is abso- lutely convincing in his positive state. nent that Gen.

teachers Investigating the American normal schools. When they reported they were ready Mir CarranZa sent fifty more to study under their direction. There will soon be several hundred men, women and girls taking various courses to fit themselves to teach the Mexican chill dren in the day schools and the men and women in the night schools. At the same time English has been introduced ill the Mexican public schools, for the Car ranzstas realize the great commercial and other advantages of a widely diffused knowledge of the tongue of the country with which they seek friendly relations.
 Another instance of the same kind was the sending to the United States by Mir. CarranZa of a delegation headed by Sub-Secretary of the Treasury Pastor Roux, Senator Salvador Gomez. and En- gineer Modesto Roldan, and several oth- CTS to visit Oklahoma. Texas. and Cali fornia oil regions to study conditions and the prevailing laws with view of modelling the Mexican laws on those of the United States.
 Still another evidence or friendship is the mission of Sub-Secretary of War Ig- nacio l.. Pesqueira, Naval Engineer Man uel J. Urea, a brother-in-law Of the famous Mexican general, Alvaro Cbre- gon, and Engineer Jose Penedo, to the United States to purchase four gunboats and transports. Recently MT. Carranza ordered 60.0o0 uniforms and his govern ment is spending millions of dollars ill America for arms. ammunition, ships. military supplies of all kinds, machinery, etc.
 Nor is the movement for the cultiva- ton of more friendly relations between Mexico and the United States all on the side of the MeXicans. It is believed here that thousands of American busi- ness men realize the great opportunities to build up trade between the two coun- tries and that the openings will be af- forded through the restoration of peace for the profitable employment of much American capital and many Americans.

TREAT OF ARMY THROUGH son.
ORA.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 29.-Col.
Alberto Trujillo, formerly an officer in
the Villa army, who arrived here today
ON his way to New Orleans, described
the retreat of the Villa forces through
the state of Sonora as bloody lane of
horror" Trujillo declared that not
more than 800 troops still are loyal to
Villa, and asserted that he quit the
revolution because he saw "the game
was up"
I'VE arrived in MADEIRA with only
one-fifth of the force with which he left
Chihuahua" he said, "and Villas con-
tinual boasts that he would yet whip
Carranza got on our nerves. We knew
a recuperation Of the Villa army to be
impossible, because there were no
funds and no way of getting supplies.
Our men were demoralized, we were
out of ammunition at least half of our
artillery had been sacrificed and near
~ all our machine guns and rifles
needed repairing"
Trujillo declared that the most de-
cisive defeat of the Villa forces was
at Llano, fifty miles north of Hermo-
sillo.
From Llano we started north, but
only reached Carlo when word came
that Gen. Gales had occupied No.
gales, closing our last avenue of es-
cape in Sonora" Trujillo said.
when the men heard that the only
alternative was to return to Chihua-
hua there was a mutiny in which Col.
Jesus Beltran and Maj. Christofero
Perato were slain Gen. Villa himself

ton at the hands of one of his staff

NATIONAL WEALTH DEPLETED

Great Britain is spending over So
COO 100000 a year to carry on the war,
Germany and Austria-Hungary to-
gether are spending an amount not far
below that and the other nations in
viived are spending sums in proportion
to their resources and needs. With all
this enormous and almost incalculable
expenditure of money neither side is
ready to give in and leading tinanciers
on both sides confidently assert that
the struggle will go on for at least an
c;her year, at even greater cost. Mexi-
co. though she has been torn by civil
war for nearly five years has used in
tie actual conduct of the war, includ-
ing the expenditures of all factions,
very small fraction of the tremendous
amount which the war will have cost
the European belligerents when it is
over. Mexico's natural resources, al
most untouched, may be compared to
those of some of the greatest nations
of Europe, yet the country is so near
financial exhaustion that Gen. Car
rama has been forced to attempt to
run his government virtually without
money. Mexico in its present state of
national lethargy, cannot be compared
10 any of the European belligerents as
y world power, but if she enjoyed the
same high state of internal develop
ment, mineral, agricultural and educa-
tional, she could WELD very great in
fluence in world commerce.-Savannah

Reading Rooms Are Prouidedln
Germany By Big HeartedPeople
OfAmerica for Wounded Forces

BERLIN, Dec. 29.-Through the
generosity of Americans, eleven read
ing rooms and recreation halls for
prisoners of war have been erected
in camps throughout Germany. The
average cost of these buildings has
been 5000 marks Isl, 5000 but in many
cases camp commanders have added
large sums from their personal for
tunes in order that the libraries may
be more ornate or spacious.
The conditions governing the gifts
from the Americans have without ex-
ception been such that none of the
money might be expended for books,
ard it has been the task therefore of
the Committee for the Erection of
Soldiers Homes in the East and
Southeast to gather literature of all
kindc and send it, not only to the elev-
er halls, but also to the most extend
ed trenches.
On the German side at least the war
has drawn in men from every walk of
life, including students, teachers and
others of every high degree of educa-
ton. The literary demands from the
front therefore have been extremely
varied, and the book suppliers have
been put to it to lay their hands on
technical work and other volumes.
Between France, England and Ger
many there has existed for some time
a sort Of working agreement by which
books in the three languages are ex
changed for the benefit of the prison
ers of war in the three countries. Ne
gctiations along the same line are
now being conducted with Russia, and
shipment of 5000 volumes in Rus
san from the University of Warsaw is
soon to be distributed among Russian
prisoners of war.
The committee already has the
name sand addresses of $4,000 Ger
man soldiers ON the various fronts.
with whom correspondence has been
opened pertaining to special books
that aer desired. As fast as it is pos
sible to obtain the volumes they are
forwarded to the trenches.
A feature of the work is so-called
wandering Libraries, containing books
of all sorts for both officers and men,
which are sent to one company read
