There is one gleam OF consolation
in the depressingly large number OF

the requirements are higher than they
were generation ago. Certainly there
was little worry about the fitness of Civil

Paine's Crisp Sentences

The fact that the Declaration slighted
the issue of unjust taxation has been put
forth as a further argument in favor or
Paine's authorship. He regarded that
Issue as unimportant, whereas Jefferson
had fought for 1t strenuously.
Paine was the author of the pamphlet
Common Sense, whose forceful arguments
in favor of independence brought him
as reward a vote of 500 pounds from the
Pennsylvania Legislature and a masters
degree from the University of Pennsyl.
vania. The arguments set forth in this
work strikingly paralleled those Of the
Declaration, and 1t has been pointed
out that the Declaration was not couehed
In the flowing style OF Jefferson. Its
explosive, terse style was very charac-
teristic of Paine, whose favorite figures
OF speech and phraseology are scattered
through it, Agnostic that he was, Paine
believed God to be nature and often de-
scribed the deity as such. Therefore.
the phrase mature and natures God" has
been used as another argument for his
having drafted our bill of rights.
Paine was not at all jealous OF credit
for many OF his works. He had the
habit of writing anonymously. Jefferson.
IL is charged, never claimed authorship
of the Declaration until after Paine's
death.
The authorities who have begrudged
jefferson the honor OF having written the
Declaration OF Independence have been
men of serious mind, and after one has
weighed all Of the evidence, 1t must be
admitted that the identity of the writer
who expressed in such foreeful words
the yearnings of downtrodden people
remains In doubt.

eral Gavira had received orders to pro ceed to Casas Grandes to take a field command and that he would be sue ceeded by General Petronillo Herman deZ. General Hernandez was said to be already on his way, having entrained at Villa Ahumada with three thousand men. Villa Ahumada is half way be- tween Juarez and Chihuahua oity.
 A train which arrived here today from Chihuahua city with several Americans including two women, brought a story of the burning of the million dollar plant of the Durango Lumber company, an American concern near Durango city. The plant was said to have been destroyed by Villistas, un- der the Arrita brothers, a pair who are said to be earnest rivals with Canuto Reyes for the title of premier bandits in the territory about TOrreon and north of Durango.
 Passengers on the train said they had been told this story in Chihuahua city by Americans arriving from the south. They also said that one of the American aviators who had landed near Chihua- hua City early yesterday was arrested by the CarranZa authorities but was later released on the representations of Consul Letcher. The fact that sthc war departments orders to punitive expedition as made public today contain no reference to the kill or capture of Villa and state that the object of the pursuit will be accomplished when Villas band or bands are broken up. was received with undisguiSed pleasure by the Mexican officials in Juarez and Fl Paso.
 This news comes at an opportune time" commented General Gavra at his JuareZ headquarters
 Evidently, the killing or capture of Villa is considered merely incidental to the pursuit" was the observation of Consul Garcia. This announcement puts a different aspect on the situa- tion. It means that the United States troops will not consider it necessary to pursue Villa to the end of the earth or to keep up the hunt indefinitely after their object of smashing Villa as a mili- tary power has been accomplished"
 Placards headed important" have been posted conspicuously in Juarez at the order of General Gavira, conta ming the extract from the treaty of 184S made between the United States and Mexico providing for the arbitration of disputes 1t states that the first chief

facto government of Mexico is able to relieve them of this work
 Secretaroy Baker and General Scott said the order was unchanged; that no new or supplemental order had been given and that General Funston had not reported that the American eXpedition's object had been attained. It was recalled that on the day the troops crossed the border Secretary Baker said their object was ito cap ture or disperse" the bandits who raided Columbus.
 Secretary Lansing also issued a statement today saying he knew of no intention to withdraw the troops. He also said no intimation had come from the CarranZa government that the de facto government officials thought General Pershing had ac- complished his mission and should return to United States territory.
 It was stated officially today that General Funston's orders were broad enough to include dealing personally with Villa in case he should be en- countered
 Satisfaction with the transportation situation was indicated at the wal and state departments today.
 Secretary Baker, who was at the war department until late tonight seems even more optimistic after reading the evenings dispatches from the border. He gave out none of the information transmitted by General Funston, but indicates strongly that his hope for an early capture of Villa had been increased by the dispatches
