sHnILn RE 4 SUCCESS.

A ENCOURAGEMENT is made that the board Of
n ayers OF the Young Womens Christian Assoca-
ton in this city will begin next month a campaign
to raise funds for a new building.
That such a structure is needed is admitted. So,
also is the fact that the association is exercising
wonderfully wholesome influence upon community
with a new building that influence would be
centuated in many directions.
Through the Y. NJ. c. A. building liberal provision
has been made for the welfare Of the boys and young
men Of city. There is no valid reason why the
public should not be equally liberal in its treatment
Of the girls.
Surely no one will attempt to contend that they

educational physical and economic benefits that such
associations organized TO confer upon those who
belong TO them.
Properly handled, the building campaign should
be a success.

CARRANzA, villa AND UNCLE SAM.

ERANcISCO VILLA and his bandit army must be
brought to justice. There is imperative demand
by the American people that the massacre at Columbus
New Mexico be avenged The American hope is that
the United States and Mexico will cooperate with that
end in view. There is desire in this country to
outrage the national feeling of Mexico or to engage in
a war with that country
General Carranza. dc facto President Of Mexico
demanded that the United States obtain before send
ing army into Mexico TO battle with villa the
consent of the Mexican Government to such an in
vasion and also grant to Mexico reciprocal rights
TO send Mexican troops across the American border
in pursuit Of the bandits He also announced that
unless those steps were taken by our government,
the invasion Of Mexico by troops will be re-
sisted
That there is warrant in international law for his
demands indicated by the fact that President Wilson
halted the of troops across the border and
has agreed that the course suggested by Carranza
shall be pursued II is pity he did not pursue that
course at the outset
Many persons think that the raid Columbus was
a deliberate by villa to provoke armed interven-
ton by United States and to discredit and over
throw CaTanza If he should acquesce in such inter-
vention In making the demands on this country
therefore Carranza is playing Mexican politics in his
own behalf and defeating the very thing that was
aimed al by his revolutionary enemies
It has been rged that the moment United States
troopers set foot on Mexican soil the natives would
forget their nternecne difficulties and rally soldly to
the support of the leader al whom the movement was
directed be Il villa, Carranza other cheftain.
1t was repeatedly forth the principal argument
against such an invasion that it would be the spark
which would set Mexico ablaze with patriotic feryor;
that "Mexico for the Mcxcans" would thenceforth be
the slogan and that The United States would be ire
vocably committed to long and bloody guerrilla war
fare.
The die has been cast. The United States has gone
too in the matter back entirely and yet not
100 far to prevent it saving The face of Carranza with
the Mexican people by acoedng to demands which
many Americans no doubt will regard as being reason
able when all the elements and the things at stake in
the situation taken into consideration. II should
be remembered that the aim of the United States Gov
ernmeni is aid Carranza and TO put end TO villa
and not TO aid villa and TO put an end TO Carranza

denly calling the heads Of the rail-
way brotherhoods to the white house.
The conference with the brother
hoods lasted an hour and half, adj
journing just at noon. According to
the workers representatives., however,
it left the situation unchanged.
They were asked to accept no COM
promise, the brotherhood chiefs said,
and gave the impression as they left
the white house that the president
might be expected to stand firmly by
the proposal which they have accept
ed, but which the railway presidents

The brotherhood men, w'l'!e at tao

dent the charge that nation wide
lobby is being conducted to influence
sentiment in favor of the railways.
They presented kilograms to show
that the Northern Pacific railway is
paying for favorable messages for
warded to Washington.
The following message, the brother
hood heads said, was sent by Super
intendent J. L. Derorce of the North
ern Pacific to all agents of his road:
ut Is highly important to get the
trainmen question discussed by farm
chants Please get as many of the
classes as possible In your town and

tors in Washington in addition those
sent to President Wilson. This Is
very important and must be given
preference over normal business to-
day"
The pressure from their members
for prompt disposal of the issue with
the railways in becoming strong, the
brotherhood men told the president.

telegram from brotherhood members
at White Fish, Mont:

STORY TOLD

Woman.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25-In the same
little wicker satchel in which she
once carried her books and lunch to
the Irving high school, Caroline Kauf-
man, pretty white slave victim, today
carried to the office of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney James Smith, letters,
kilograms and pictures which will
serve as additional evidence against
Gustav Kugelman. alleged white slav-
er, and others In ring said to be by
officers In the district attorneys Of.
ficers, the largest in the city.
With tears in her eyes, because she
had lost her position as a result OF
the publicity which had been given
her experience as white slave, Miss
kaufman came to the district attor-
ney's Office. At the same hour Gus
tave Kugelman was arraigned in the
court OF general sessions and in de-
fault of $4,000 bail was locked in
the Tombs.
In court today Attorney Smith de.
scribed the case as the most heart
rending he had ever had anything to
do with since he had held the present
position.
Including among the letters and
kilograms which Miss kaufman
turned over to the district attorney,
were letters to Kugel1nan from prom
inent actresses on the legitimate
stage and in the motion picture bust
ness. Kuge1man insists the letters
were genuine Miss Kaufman is %
and an exceptionally attractive girl Of
medium height, with coal black eyes
and hair and a fine physique. In
telling her story she appeared calm
and never used a coarse word or a
slang expression.
Although reluctant to tell her
story, Miss Kaufman commented at
the opening that even now she did
not see "the wrong of this life
Attorney Smith explained to her
that her testimony would result in the
prosecution of Gugelman.
Miss Kaufman then told how she
met Kugelman through girl friend.
The love making that followed did
not pass the bound of propriety for
more than year, Miss Kaufman
said. She became deeply in love
with Kugelman and believed his story
that he would marry her as soon as
the rich father he told her about,
died.
In November, 1914, Miss Kaufman
began to live with Kugelman as his
wife, and then she learned that there
was nothing in the rich father"
