Washington. March Pits lines Of
communication extended TO more than
two hundred miles, the wireless work
ing "intermittently," two of the origi-
nal aeroplanes destroyed and four
others out Of commission. the American
column in Mexico is working under
enormous difficulties. General Funston
has sent a hurry call 10 the War De-
partment for more aeroplanes and two
additional trains Of motor trucks.
The 9th Cavalry. which was ordered
to the border week ago, has now been
sent into Mexico to aid in maintaining
lines Of communication. Army officers
say that as the lines extend he prob
lem Of mai lining them without more
men will be serious one.
A statement by Secretary of War
Baker to-day admits that excitement"
has prevail. ong the border for the
last few days, but adds that latest re-
ports SHOW conditions TO be quiet"
This is the first official admission here
that there has been trouble Of any kind
on the Mexican boundary since the
troops entered Mexico.
All facts concerning the location and
numerical adequacy Of the forces in
Mexico are withheld.
Cavalry on Short Rations.
Not a shot has been fred by or at
the American troops since their en-
trance into Mexico, il is said, but the
long thin line that connects the main
army with the border, the lack Of com
by wireless and q, roplane
and the shortage Of reserves 10 piece
out the column are giving officials here
great concern. While there is no short
age Of food or other supplies for the
troops al the front, cavalry mounts al
ready are on short rations.
The department has not been in
formed Of the fate of two machines

commission are said 10 be in need %

Secretary Bakers statement follows
"All the information the department
has from the border shows the conci-
tons TO be quiet and the excitement
Of the last few days somewhat allaycd.
We have no dispatches indicating
actual conflict between American SOL
diers and any forces of any kind IN
Mexico. The expedition is, Of course,
moving forward, and so lengthening

Early Capture of Villa
Not Regarded Likely

San Antonio, Tex, March 27.-Fran-
cisco Villas escape from the region
about Namiquipa was preceded by :
smart defeat administered By him TO a
part Of the Mexican government troops
and was unopposed by other Constltu-
tionalist detachments, according to IN
Official bu; credible reports reaching

No reports from General Pershing
10 General Funston dealt with other
than routine subjects, principally those
having 10 do with the transportation
Of supplies. The positions Of troops
were not revealed. but it was known
that the cavalrymen were yet riding
hard along the trail Of Villa.
It was realized here that the early
capture Of Villa would be little better
than an accident. With their knowl-
edge Of the country and with the as
sistance they can secure along their
route. Villa and his followers, II was
feared. will have little difficulty in keep
ing ahead OF the pursuing Americans.
The hope for an early ending Of The
chase. il is felt here. is that Carrsnzs
troops will check Villas flight or that
Villa himself, after joining one or more
OF his wandering bands in Southern
Chihuahua or from Northern Durango,
may decide 20 fight.
That Villa will be able to effect a
iuncture with considerable force
before he is brought 20 q stand again
Is regarded at United States army
headquarters here as probable. Canuto

CRAFTS LECTURES

Last Thursday morning DR.. Wilbur
F. Crafts of Washington, ID. c., lee
tured TO the entire student body in
Main Chapel. DR.. Crafts is the SUI
perintendent of the International
Reform Bureau, is actively cOnnec-
ted with many other institutions for
the betterment of our country and is
a speaker of national fame. There
are very few sections of the United
States where he has not labored in
the interest of some reform for the
uplift of humanity. Most reformers
specialize in some one definite field
and work in that direction; Doctor
Crafts is a specialist in all lines and
an authority on almost all needed
reforms.
The speaker delivered his famous
lecture, The DEVILS Hardest Fight
for a Boy" TO our students. This
lecture will appear in these columns
in full. You who did not have the
opportunity to hear him may read
after him and be blessed.

CARPENTRY
The Relative importance Of the
Rural Carpenter as q Leader,
and What He is Taught
While in Bersa

Practical education with every
young person should consist en-
tirely OF direct preparation for the
performance OF those duties which
most probably would be their lot
in life TO perform. Some OF these
duties are religious and social.
While others are directly connected
with those things which pertain to
the making Of a living.
Many people are quite well con-
WINGED that every young man
should have trade. The trade
which seems 10 be most inviting.
as the part OF a Berea education
for leadership in the mountains, is
the trade Of carpentry. or all the
rural occupations the carpenter Is
the leader. Because so many OF
the other workmen are sure TO de-
pend upon him for the leadership
and advice. The rural mason.
painter. bricklayer, timer. plaster
or and so on depend largely upon
the carpenter. II anyone should
just for fun dare me 10 name one
more rural artisan who depends up
on the carpenter for help, would
say the cement worker. who is a
coming man, and is almost helpless
without the assistance OF the car
penter.
The chief aim Of our carpentry
class has been 10 train rural car
pcnters in an all around way.
No time is spent on the prospec-
tive city carpenter.
Much that is learned by the rural
carpenter along the line Of care OF
tools and simple constructions is
useful 10 every agriculturist even II
he does no mechanical work except
his own, even il he hires other me
chanics 10 do his own work.
Our rural carpenter course con-
tains much value in the line Of
drainage OF land. surveying OF
land, also Of the planning and level
ing for farm buildings.
The rural carpenter at Berea is
also given elementary knowledge OF
designing buildings so as 10 be COM
paratively independent Of archi-
tect and engineers whose fees
would make a somewhat serious
and unnecessary expense.

ing fifteen minute talk, the leader
spoke of the many needs of the

ing these needs from a social, eco

rousing song and prayer service at

UPPER CHAPEL SERVICE

Sunday night in the Upper Chapel
Doctor Raine preached from a text
taken from that famous parable
where a young man, having been
told to go work in the vineyard, said
he would go, but went not. The
speaker in a very forcible manner
brought out the fact that many Of
our Christian people have said they
would go, but so far have failed to
keep their promise. Many are no.
conscious of their failure. The great
thing in becoming a Christian is not
in being saved, but in being given
the opportunity to serve. Christian
ity is a religion. not only of saliva
ton but also of service. The speak
er dealt with the smaller points
wherein we err rather than with the
bigger and more easily recogniza-
BILE ones. The messages now being
given in Upper Chapel on Sunday
nights are keen and analytical, and
are greatly appreciated by the more
thoughtful students.

MOUNTAIN DAY

Monday about seven hundred OF
our students celebrated that day
which has become famous to Berea
students as Mountain Day" by
spending several hours at Indian
Fort Mountain. The day was bright
and cool, the air thin and invigora-
ting. At 8 o'clock nine wagons left
Ladies Hall with their people who
were To return at o'clock and at
10 o'clock nine other wagons car
ried as many more people to the
hills who were to return at I
o'clock. The entire day was spent
in roaming over the hills and we'll
known spots which are fraught with
historic and romantic interest. At
the noon hour lunches were furnish
ed to the entire party without cost
under the efficient direction OF he
Boarding Hall. Dinner was eaten
on the rocks around the Bungalow.
In the afternoon several parties
made the excursion over to East
pinnacle where such rare view OF
the surrounding country is to be
obtained. AT the appointed time
all parties arrived safely at home
and with no serious accidents.
Mountain Day is an institution
peculiar to Berea; and our students
count themselves fortunate to be
given such privilege for recreation
and pleasure. With little or no
cost every student may enjoy a
days sojourn in the hills which
makes the remainder of the year
brighter. more pleasurable and more
profitable.

PRIDE G0ETH BEFORE A FALL
Nv Ruth Davis

This is one Of the things that hap
pened during my visit to the home
Of one OF my friends.
Jane and I were sent TO get the
milk from the milk-house. Her
mother told us 10 be very careful
because the rain, which had fallen
earlier in the morning, had made
the walk slippery.
The milk-house floor was lower
than the surface Of the ground so
there were large stone steps leading
into the place. These steps, also,
were slippery, we found.
We were very careful going down
the steps-Jane in front telling me
10 'step easy" We got the milk and
started back. l had bucket and
