Unique Souvenir.

Ye editor was the recipient, re-
Gently, of a unique souvenir in
the form of a piece of parch-
ment, or birch bark, such as the
American Indians used to trace
their hieroglyphics upon and also
for the construction of their te-
pees and canoes. 1t was pre-
sented to us by Mrs. r. c. Geve-
don, of Grassy Creek, who spent
last summer with her daughter,
Mrs. jeff Rose, in Michigan.
The bark of the Michigan birch
peels off in layers, perhaps an
hundred or more, depending on
the size and age of the tree. 1t
resembles tissue paper in texture
and is so smooth as to be easily
written upon with pen and ink.

Secretary TumuIty, in Lettbr About
Treatment Of Catholics, States Ad.
:. ministration's View Point.

Washington. Noyl 29. zee has
been from time to time some criticism
of the administration because Of the
recognition of General Carranza as
president de facto of Mexico, in view
of the repeatedly made charges that
he and his followers had treated Ro-
man Catholic priests and nuns with
brutality and cruelty. In order to
clarity the situation and set the crit

Tumulty today made public recent
correspondence with DR.. James ]. Nc.
CURE of Trenton, N. ].
Doctor Mcclure wrote to Mr.. Tu-
multy on November IA calling atten.
tion to the criticisms alluded to, and
saying: 81 suppose you must have
some accurate information on the
subject, and If you can spare the
time let us know Just what the stu.
alton is. will appreciate it"
Mr.. Tumulty's reply states that the
state department has been unable to
verify a single report of attacks on
nuns by Carran1a soldiers and in.
cludes letter from Very Rev. An.
tonic ]. Paredes, vicar of the arch
bishopric of Mexico City, showing the
reports of the murder of priests and
the mistreatment of nuns were at least
exaggerated.
The presidents secretary takes ad
vantage of the opportunity to give
the. administration viewpoint anC
its appreciation of all the problems
and phases of the Mexican question
as related to the well-being of oul
own country" and to show why. IL
the opinion of Mr.. Wilson and others

Important Ruling Given.

Confronted, under the decisions
Of the United State supreme
court in the International Harvester
cases with the alternative OF declaring
unconstitutional the Crecelius act OF
1906 permitting farmers to pool their
crops for the purpose of realizing a
higher price than they otherwise could
get, or saying that anybody else, in
cluding corporations selling farm es-
sentials, can do the same, the court
OF appeals declared the Crecelius act
void. It upheld, however, the original
antitrust law Of 1890 prohibiting COM
binations in restraint of trade. 1t said
that law does not abrogate the com.
mon law doctrine on the same subject,
but is companion law. Either may
be invoked, it said.

ITALIANS TAKE
!! GORITz SUBURB
Latlns Make Steady Progress in
Movements to EncircIe Aus
trian Stronghold.
DOMBARDMENT IS TERRIFIC
Fall of Goritz viii Release Big Italian
Army for Service in Balkans
Kitchener Is Assured of AS
sstance From Rome.

Rome, Nov. 29.-Italian troops have
captured St. Andrew, one of the su-
burbs of Goritz, and are making steady
progress in their movements to en-
circle the Austrian stronghold. Dis
patches from Udine state that the Aus
trians have been strongly REINFORCED
in response to repeated demands sent
to Vienna and that Field Marshal Con-
rad Won Hoetzendorf, chief of the Aus
trian general staff, has arrived on the
Isonzo to direct the defense previ'
ously conducted by General Boreovic.
The Isonzo has now all been
crossed, with the exception of four
miles between the Goritz bridgehead
and Zagora. where the Italians are
steadily advancing toward Monte
Santo," says a correspondent of the
Idea Nazionale, who has visited the
Italian front at Cormons.
The Austrians blew up bridge
south of Goritz, but the Italians built
two to take its place. On the right
bank the Austrians still hold two po-
sitions defending Monte Sabotino and
Podgora Their other formidable forts
have been shattered by the terrific
bombardment that has been in pro-
gress without interruption since No
vember 21. The guns roar incessant'
ly day and night.
Austrian prisoners declare the
commander at Goritz asked permis-
sion to evacuate his positions, but that
this was refused and another officer
has taken command in his place"
Big Army for Balkans.
Assurances were given to Lord
Kitchener, the British war secretary,
that Italy will take an active part in
the Balkan campaign.
Lord Kitchener was told that the
fall of Gorits will release Italian forces
for service in other fields and the cap
ture of the Austrian stronghold is ex'
pected within very short time.
With a big army freed from duty on
the lsonzo front, Italy will be in po'
sition to send an expedition into the
Balkans to re-enforce the Anglo
French troops.
Lord Kitchener, after a busy day
in Rome, left for the front. During
his stay here the war secretary con
ferred with Baron Sonnino, the foreigr
minister; General Zuppelli, the minis
ter of war; Premier Salandra and
members of the general staff.

VILLAS POWER GONE
Chieftain in Retreat With Small
Remnant of Army.
Garrison at Juarez Said to Be Ready,
to Surrender to the Car.
rama Forces.

Washington, Nov 29.-Consul Sim
pich at Nogales, Ariz., reported to the
state department that General Villa
has lost control of every point along
the Sonora border.
Nogales, Ariz., Nov. 29.-Francisco
Villas power is shattered. Having
abandoned Nogales, Sonora, without
firing a shot in its defense, the for
mer powerful revolutionary chieftain
is in retreat toward one of his refugees
farther south with only a small rem
nant of the army that supported him
when he broke with Venustiano Car
rama, now recognized by the United
States and other countries as head of
the de facto government of Mexico.
General Obregon, the Carranza
leader who occupied Nogales said that
plans for campaign against Juarez
had already been made. The gar.
rison of that town is understood to
be ready to abandon Villas cause as
soon as the Carranzistas appear and
demand its surrender.
General Obregon expressed deep re-
gret over the fact that clash had
occurred between some of his soldiers
and American troops. The incident
has been closed, however, by mutual
apologies.
Additional American troops arrived
here from Douglas, but it is believed
they are not needed. The Villa snipers
who escaped death after they had shot
three American soldiers and were in
turn fired on, have fled from Nogales
in an attempt to reach their retreat
ing commander. Carranza officers
stated that they had counted the bod
les of II Villista men killed by the
fire of the American soldiers,
