ONE AMERICAN
ON BOARD TRAIN
Villas Gang Has no Trouble in Making
Raid and Gathering up
Some Loot. tS

rUnited Press Leased Wire Servicel
Ell PASO. Texas, Feb. 1.-The fate
3ot n. &C. Newherry. the only American
on the Mexican Central train, held up
by Villistas who took off and executed
General Thomas Ornelas yesterday,
occasioned the greatest fears here to-
day. Several Americans who planned
going to Chihuahua today on another
train abandoned the trip as the news
of the hold-up confirmed fears that
Villa can cut the Central and Mexican
Northwestern railways at will, despite
Carranzista assurances that he is sur
rounded.
The bandits also looted the express
car and were said to have robbed the
passengers on the train. Newberry's
home was in Las Cruces, N. M. He
had business interests in Mexico. If
unofficial information that no other
passenger was taken from the Chihua-
hua train proves true, Newberry is
safe.

NORFOLK, Va, Feb. 1.-The most
saring feat of the world war was re-
yealed today when the missing British
liner Appam, flying the German flag.
sped into Hampton Roads at 5:45 a.
N. with German prize crew aboard.
The Appam, with 1,6 passengers and
! crew OF 1874 was believed to have
foundered in heavy storm or to have
been torpedoed on the west African
coast two weeks ago while enroute
to England. She had been given up
as lost by her British owners.
Instead. the big liner was captured
by German soldiers presumably from
one Of the kaiser's monster q boats.
They headed her about through heavy
seas, raced across the Atlantic and
eluding British warships patrolling
the American coast, reached port

Full details of the capture were not
obtainable for several hours, the Of

captive officials and passengers. There
was no official confirmation OF the
report that submariners made the cap
ture, though it was reported on shore
that U boat halted the British liner
of the strait of Gibraltar while she
was proceeding from the French port
of Dakar, in Senegal to Plymouth.
Only twelve Germans comprise the
prize crew that captured the 300 Brit

board the ship, however, and 1t is
thought probable these were released,

DOESN'T WANT A D-DEMO.
CRATIC PAPER

An irate gentleman from Route
8 whom we now know is a republi-
can, walked into our office Thurs
day afternoon and asked what he
owed up to now" We told him
and Immediately heremarked: Il
don't want to read any d--democratic
paper" We explained to our visi-
tor that The Review was indepen-
dent andtried to treat all parties
fairly and that from our view point
he was mistaken-in fact our friends,
the republicans had expressed them
selves on the fairness of our paper
and favored us with much of their
work.
We have also been accused of
running a republican paper, so ap-
parently some people would place
US between the devil and the deep
blue sea.
Poor fellow he saw an article
favoring Wilson's election in the
paper last week and he dubbed the
paper a democratic organ while if
he had looked on the second page
he would have seen an article just
as strong for Hughes. the articles
being copied from the press. Also
if he was fair he would have taken
note of many articles all along
favoring his party. But life is too
short to worry over such matters.
We respectfully refer our irate visj-
tor by the name of c. to friend
w. P. Ragan for analysis.

High Point Nears the $1,000
Marx

The new city directory just off
the press gives High Point about
$4,000 population. Figuring on
5.302 names in, the directory and
using the multiple of two and a half
times to represent the children
and married women, not counted,
would give total of 1925 but
these figures are too conservative
in manufacturing city such as
High Point where there are a
greater number of children, due to
the fact that large families move to
factory and mill towns in order to
give their children employment.
A fair and conservative estimate
would be to use the multiple of
two and three quarters which gives
14,771 population. There are 1872
pages in the new directory, full of
