FRIEND AIDS RANCHER ID ESCAPE
 MURDER
American Residents of the Country Near Santa Ysabel, Chihuahua, Has Narrowing Times with Bandits.

To be farned by a friendly member of bandit gang, thought connected with that which perpetrated the Am erican massacre at Santa Ysabel on January 10, and to ride eighty miles over the mountains, from his cattle ranch at Fl Portosi 10 Chihuahua, was the interesting. not to say terrifying experience of A. c. Dudley.
 Dudley. who has resided in the state of Chihuahua of and on for the past fifteen years, was an extensive cattle rancher and dealer. Some years ago he gave the son of one of his old en- ployes a 30-40 Winchester rifle and did the young man some other favors. On the late afternoon of January 10. presumably a short while after the massacre of the Americans at Santa Ysabel, which is but few miles from Fl Portosi. the young Mexican appear ed at the ranch of the American. He warned Dudley that the bandit gang, of which he was a member, was on its way to the ranch and would murder every American found. The Mexican explained that he had left the gang and had ridden by trail, with which he was familiar, across the mountain to the ranch and would. afterwards, rejoin his crowd from the rear by an- other short cut.
 Leaving everything as it stood on his ranch, Dudley saddled his best horse and started for the city of Chi huahua. He arrived there sometime after eight o'clock the next morning after an all-night ride.
 The first news he was acquainted with was that of the murder of nine teen Americans a short distance from his own ranch. While in Chihuahua he saw the bodies of the victims ar rive from the branch line on which the tragedy occurred.
 According to the American there are very few Americans. comparatively speaking, in the state of Chihuahua at the present time. Most of them have either been driven from their property or came out of their own volition, fear ing bandits.
 Mexico Unsettled.
 Mexico is more unsettled oday, de- clared Dudley, than it has been in the past ten years, not excepting the times of the various and sundrv revolutions.
 "It is my opinion" said the refugee. that the revolution is far from over. Carranza is not a favorite with the people of any class in Mexico and am afraid he can never hold his organ ization together.
 Reports from the interior. since my return to the United States, to thesef- feet that Obregon was arrested is proof of the truth of the feeling that most Americans have had for some time. Obrego1 is the backbone of the Carranza movement and has succeed cd in spite of the First Chief, not through his aid. If it comes to an open break. I can see Obregon, Argu- medo, the Arrieta brothers and Zapata making an alliance and eliminating Carranza from all consideration.
 Mexico Destitute.
 That Mexico is in terrible condition, economically and industrially. was the statement of Dudley The Mexicans.

THE KENNEDY PEOPLE By W. Pett Ridge.
l2mo. PIP 3ll. George H. Doran Co
At the beginning one suspects that
Mr.. Ridge has taken example from his
solemn contemporaries. Here is a story
Of three generations of one fam
ily, starting after the approved
current fashion. But one soon pei
ceives that the author intends
to be neither psychological nor
sociological, except in so far as every
novelist worth his salt has always been
sociologist and psychologist. Mr..
Ridge is merely human. There is here
and there Just trace of the Dickensian
touch-thcre is that hearty annual out
ing of the hands in the Kennedy works,
and there are Wadhurst Brothers, one
gruf, the other atfable, both with
hearts of gold. And there is Uncle
Albert, the waiter, and there are the
Kennedy sisters, always mutually con-
tradictatorial-in short, Mr.. Ridge has
not forgotten the Dickensian ira
dition which had a brief revival some
twenty years ago. AS for the Ken
nedys in the direct line-the father is
a self-made man, pompous, hard, with
worldly plans for his only son. That
son, placed in control of the Kennedy
plant too early through his fathers
death, makes ducks and brakes of his
inheritance coddles the working
men, bullies his managers, tires Of the
muddle he makes, and sells out only
to lose the proceeds in playwriting,
amateur theatrical management and
speculation. And, finally, there is his
son, who has TO begin again at the
bottom of the ladder-from shirtsleeves
to shirtsleeves. Through it all Mrs.
Kennedy the second plays an appeal
ing part. She is a rarely sympathetic
character, valiantly plucking at least
the makings Of success out Of the
Kennedy ruins.

RAILWAYS AND WAR
A Valuable Book on an Impor-
tant Subject.

THE RISE OF RAIL POWER N WAR AND
CONQUEST 1898 1914 BY Edwin A bta rIs,t
With bibosraphy syo' pn III. Ao'' rnhA'
delphia. J. r. Nppinoott Company
This book is compact history OF
the origin and development Of the use
of railways for and in warfare. The idea
of employing the railroad for the
rapid transport and concentration of
troops originated, of course, IN Ger
many. In 1893 a Westphaliau. Fried
erich wilhelm Harkort, veteran Of
the Napoleonic wars, published a pam
phlet on the strategic possibilities OF
the new means Of transportation, which
found immediate adnerents. but which
also encountered considerable military
ridicule and doubt. The first strategic
use of railroads in actual war was
made by the French in the Italian cam
paign Of 1859. The roads proved equal
TO all the demands made upon them,
but the military establishment mud
died disastrously. as it did in 1870.
This brought to the fore the question
of absolute control in wartime.
II was, however. our own War for the
Union that furnished the starting point
for the development of the railroad as
a means of offence and defence in war
as we know il to-day We were the
first, also. to equip hospital trains, the
first TO employ armored trains. The
English preceded us in the construction
of a purely military, as distinct from
a strategic, railroad--behind the lines
at Sebastopol-for the transport of sup
plies over a stretch of mud in which
horses. mules and wagons foundered.
It is a mistake, the author informs
us, TO assume that the German mill
tary railroad system of 1870 was
superior to that Of France. The
superiority lay in the management.
Russia. according TO Kuropatkin, lost
the Manchurian war through the in
suficiency of the service Of the trans
Siberian railroad. One more troop
train a day would have turned the
scales And. even as IT was, the Rus
SLAMS were at the turn Of the tide when
Colonel Roosevelt intervened.
There are chapters on railroad pro
/ lection and destruction in war; on the
military railroad organizations of the
three Western powers; on the use OF
railways in the Boer war; the frontier
railways of British India, and most
important and timely chspter-on the
/ defence of Australia. though Germany
/ is no longer likely 10 be the invader.
The author outlines the sharp dis
/ tinction between the strategic and the
purely military railroad. The best ex-
ample of the former is the Bagdad
/ railroad, one of peaceful, commercial
penetration and conquest first of all
I but always available for warfare. The
| best known. and certainly the most in
teresting, purely military railroad was
that hastily laid on the ice of Lake
Baikal 10 link together the two termini
/ Of the uncompeted trans-Siberian line
The author gives. further, an outline
| of German plans for the conquest OF
Africa by means of rail power. A most
useful book, written for the layman.
