THE EARL OF DERBY

One of the most influential figures
in Great Britain during the war has
been the Earl of Derby, who stands
next to Lord Kitchener, perhaps, in
the respect and confidence of his
countrymen. Edward George Villiers
Stanley, 18th Earl of Derby, will pass
his fifty-first milestone tomorrow,
having been born on April 4, 1865.
His title dates from 1885, when one
Of his ancestors was created an earl
as a reward for his gallantry in the
battle of Bosworth. Lord Derby's
greatest service to Britain in the war
has been as recruiting chief. In Feb
ruary he accepted the craftsmanship
of a joint naval and military board to
control the British air service, but re-
manned in charge of recruiting. From
the first the Earl was understood to
favor CONSUMPTION, but out of loyalty
to Kitchener he accepted the post of
recruiting chief under the voluntary
system, and no man in England work
ed harder at his task. The Earl 1aid
the chief blame for the failure to
achieve the full results he had aimed
at to the easy examination of single
men engaged in the necessary trades,
but especially to the farmers. More

John Burroughs Stands at
Threshold Of His 8Oth Year

John Burroughs, the famous natu-
rlist and essayist, was born at t<ox-
bury, N. Y.,>79 years ago today, April
8, 1887. At the threshold OF octogeha-
rianism, the venerable see OF S1ap-
sides'' finds each day too short for his
fleming thoughts In his younger
DAYS Mr. Burroughs wa school
teacher a treasury clerk and ma
tioIlaI bank examiner, but for more
than forty years he has lived on ms
Senote farm, devoting his time to
STUDYING the beasts and binds, and to
literature and fruit culture. The aged
naturalist is a. close friend of Colonel
Roosevelt but he has found one HaW
in the oyster Bay statesman Teoi1y
most serious fault he declared on one
occasion, lis his inability to loaf. He
plunges through the woods as though
he had to get somewhere at a certain
time. I like to saunter- wish he
could overcome that fault, for it would
be much more pleasant to tramp with
him.
Among the many interesting vol.
umes that bear the name of John Bur-
roughs, one of the most interesting to-
the philosophic mind is "The Breath
of Life issued last year. In this work
the naturalist leaves the fields and
forests with which he is so familiar,

agnostic view of life and death and.

ATTACKED BY VILLA BANDITS
Two Hundred carranza Troops En-
Route to Torreon From Saitiiio
Are Killed.

Ell Paso.-Two hundred Carranza
troops en- route to Torreon from Sal
tillo were killed April 20 when their
train was attacked by Villa bandits OF
Gen. Canuto Reyes command. Unof-
ficial but reliable reports to this ef-
feet have reached the border.
The idea that there may have been
some truth in the report Of Villas
death has been abandoned. The state
department was notified by its official
representative here that Villa is in or
near Scmbrerete, between 90 and 10
miles southeast of Durango City, In
the state Of Zacatecas. Sombrerete is
at the end of small railroad which
runs out from Durango City through
rich mining section.
There is every indication that the
United States troops will meet with
resistance from the Carranzista forces
when they attempt to cross into Du-
range. Gen. Gutierrez said at Chi
huahua that the troops Of the de facto
government have been instructed to
prevent the expedition from operating
south Of the chihuahua state line.
The correspondents who left the bor-
der three days ago, each man Dent
upon identifying Villas body first, re-
turned, an unhappy aggregation. On
arrival at Chihuahua they discovered
that Gen. Luis Gutierrez, the Carranza
commander. thought so little OF the
rumor he had not permitted It to be-
come public.
There was an even dozen CORE,
spondents IN the party, and when they
crossed the international bridge to the
American side just an even dozen
sighs were expelled. The Mexican
authorities in Chihuahua had been po-
lite and accommodating, but the pop
ulace had on several occasions stoned
the news gatherers and several riots
were narrowly avoided.

OPTIMISTIC. VIEW Is TAKEN
An Official At Washington Comments
On the United States Ncte--it Is
Thouut Demands Will Be Met.

Washington-"Ger will meet
the demands in the presidents note"
II was stated by an official in close
touch with the embassy, though she
believes the United States is not JUS
titled in making them"
The German view here Is that the
note merely demands that Germany
make her submarine policy conform to
the accepted principles OF the interna-
tional law, and not that she abandon
submarine warfare altogether. This,
1t is urged, Is all that the president
could possibly ask, and this Germany
is willing to do.
1t is pointed out that on Jan. AM
bassador Won Bernstorff handed Secre-
tary Lansing communication an
nouncing that German submarines In
the Mediterranean would follow the ac-
cepted principles of international law
as hitherto applied to cruiser war
fare, and this was tacitly agreed to
by the United States, since no protest
was made.
The North Sea, it was declared, was
a different matter, as Germany's op-
erations there were measures OF re-
prisals against the British blockade.
