stories spread broadcast through Co

One story. which grew as It passed
from mouth to mouth was based on
a suggestion made hY Juan Fayela, II

Manor H. G. Hoover. Fnyela, who IS
said to have predicted the raid upon

United States soldiers and eight ci-
VILLAINS were killed. asserted that he

with small part Of his hand, had
doubled on his trail and was now in
the vicinity of Santa Maria, In the
Guzman district, about 65 miles south
Of the border Close questioning by
both military and civil authorities.
however, ELECTED the fact that his
belief was based on a newspaper
story that villa had turned to the
north. Military authorjties stamped
he story as q wild halluclnation.
ON the heels of this suggestion, u
ranchman, whose name was not made
public. reported To Major w +. Sam
pie commandant, that he believed

ing about two miles west of the
town. To be suspicious. He said the
lights m the windows ON the south
side of the house have been flashed
i'm way that might indicate they

However despite repeated assur-
anees from military authorities that
last reports indicated that villa was
flying before American cavalfymen
into the heart Of the Guerrero dis
trlct. knots of armed men gathered
In the streets here tonight and spec
ulated as to the possibility of Sec
und raid on the town.

The Senator Mayor Of Lyons spoke IN
his Office in the seventeenth century Hotel
de Vile. whence for nearly dozen years
he has been directing the civic life, and,
less directly. perhaps, much Of the indus
trial life. Of one of Europe's greatest in
dustrial centres. With the capture of Lille
By the Germans Lyons became producer Of
large quantities Of commodities formerly
turned out IN the North Of France. 1t is
doubtful whether France will ever again
trust to the north so great a proportion Of
her industry as was centred there, close to
coal and iron. in 1914. II is too near Ger
many, Lyons has q safer poslton-Lyons,
whose neghbor is Switzerland. My 1914
guide book gives Lyons more than half a
million inhabitants. and adds: Lyons dis
putes with Marseilles the rank of second
citv of France" But these figures are mis-
leading for the outskirts Of the city,
though their population is not counted in,
are industrialy a part of the proper total.

No one ever tried to discount NJ Herriot's
political or economic gifts by calling him
professor" That would hardly prove a
disqualification in French politics. The
Minister Of Public instruction and War
Inventions, ". Painlcye, is an eX-college
professor. NJ. Clemenceau used TO teach
literature in a girls school--in New~Yorl'
State, by the way. Still other French
statesmen have taught school, and the fact
that the Mayor of Lyons is we'll edu-
Gated man doesn't make him one bit lone
some in French politics.
The details of the Lyons Sample Fair,
which will be held from March l to 10,
1917. would be somewhat out Of place here
they cry out for an article all to them
selves. And yet the Lyons Fair canno:
be ignored in any account of the man Her
riot, Mayor Of Lyons, Senator Of the
Rhone; and naturally it must figure in any
account of Lyons in 1917. The Lyons
Sample Fair is intended to take the place
Of that of Leipzig The Leipzig fair used
TO be an annual reunion of German and
foreign manufacturers This meeting gave
its exhibitors chance to show their prod
ucts to buyers from all over the world
and to book orders from the samples on
show. The Lyons Sample Fair is its sac
cessor.
Such a fair was announced soon after
the first economic conference Of the En-

because the orders could not be filled under

what handicap Lyons worked in 1916;
even so, 100000 worth Of goods were
ordered at the fair and duly delivered.
The Sample Fair Of 1916, and the triun-
phant defence of Verdun went forward
together; both of them parts Of the Allies

say which of the two great undertakings
