STOP TRAIN AND SHOOT 20 DE
FAcTo SOLDIERS.
carranzistas Lined UP and Fired Up
on-GoVernment Troops Sent In
Pursuit of the Robbers.

Chihuahua City, Mexico. - After
shooting 20 Carranza military
guards of the southbound passenger
train which left Juarez Monday, Villa
bandits looted the train, robbed the
passengers and even took the clothing
from the women passengers.
Farm Credits meets here Dec. to 9.
There were approximately 200 in
the command which held up the pas
senger train as it was approaching La
guna station. The bandits could be
seen plainly by the engine crew and
passengers before the train had been
stopped, but, because Of the nature
Of the country, escape was impossi-
BILE.
The passengers were lined up out
side of the coaches and robbed and
the train was looted of all supplies
which it carried.
The 20 Carranza soldiers from the
Juarez garrison, who were travelling
in the box car just back of the ten
der, were ordered to alight and were
shot down in view of the passengers.
This escort was in command of Capt.
Guzman, who also was shot.
After holding the train one and =
hale hours, the bandits permitted it
to continue to Chihuahua City, about
60 miles south. The bandit command
marched away to the north. They are
believed to have burned the bridges
between Laguna and Gallego, 20 miles
north. A military train carrying 400
Carranza soldiers was sent out from
Sauz, 26 miles north of here, to pur-
sue the bandits.

CLOSE UP ARMY SCHOOL .VILL|STAS KILL AND ROE
SAYS INTERVENTION AWAITS RE-
SUIT OF ELECTION.
Regular Army Is Short More Than
1000 Lieutenants More Than
400 Examined.

Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.-The
decision not to reopen the army
service school here and the cavalry
school at Fort Riley, after a large
number of officers had reported for
instruction and classes had been or
ganized, has strengthened the belief
that regular army officers have enter
tanned that military Intervention in
Mexico is inevitable.
1t has always been the conviction of
many army officers that nothing ex-
cept the coming presidential election
has prevented directions to the army
to clean up" the north of Mexico and
that, regardless of the result of the
election, Intervention shortly after
would be almost certain.
Ordinarily, the presence of officers
detailed TO the service schools would
not be needed with their regiments
until active operations were about to
begin. Conditions created by the in
crease in the army, the organization
of new regiments and the lack of Sec
ond lieutenants now, however, make
it necessary for the student officers
to return in order to keep the various
regular commands up to service re-
quirements.
The regular army still is short near.
ly 1000 second iieutenants, and prob,
ably not half the number required will
be obtained as the result of the ex
aminatiOnS held last week More than
400 young men took the examination
at this post, and, in spite of consid
cradle relaxation Of requirements, il
is not believed that half of the young
men will PASS. AS a result the first
class at the military may be gradual
ed Jan. 1 and the second class July
when the second lieutenant is added
to the army, making nearly 1000 add
uional vacancies.

TRANSFER BELGIAN WORKERS
Enforcement Of Measure Ordered by
German Military Governor Starts
in Mons District.

Brussels, Belgium-The compulsory
transfer of employed began this week,
starting in the Mons district. No un.
toward incidents have occurred.
A dispatch from Berlin said the
measures taken by Gen. Won Kissing,
gilitary governor in the occupied por-
ton Of Belgium, to employ the working
population of the country were not in
the interests of the German admins
tration, but for the workers them
selves and for the future of Belgian
finance.
Gen. Won Bissing's purpose, it was
stated, was to encourage the enlist
ment of laborers in agricultural and
non-military industries, but the Ger
man newspapers intimated plainly
that those refusing to work would no
longer be fed in idleness.

Shock-Proof Shoes.

A manufacturer has recently placed
on the market a line Of shoes for cleo
trical workers which are made to with
stand potentials up to 10000 volts
without harm to the wearer. The
shoes contain no cement and have no
seams, but are vulcanized into a solid
piece under high pressure in alumni
mum molds. A novel feature of the
shoe is that the soles are white, and
under the white surface Is layer of
red rubber. When the sole has worn
down to a point where the red is ex-
posed, 1t is sign to the wearer that o
new halfsole should be Immediately
secured in place.
