panic stricken from a crack in the loft

the thief who had dragged the diamond
from the claws Of death and that the
search for him was on.
Quabba and the policeman called his

lay trembling in the loft in an ague Of

the stable without looking into the loft
and walked up the alley to the street.

other part Of town, leaving the dia

it is feared the refugees will be unable
finally to escape them.
Juarez, in fear of attack, is placing
its hope tonight upon the abilities OF
General Gonzales and General Carlos
Ozuna to reorganize the defeated Car
rama forces into compact and eff
cient army. Troop trains from Suaz
bearing detachments Of Carranza
troops for the defence of Juarez are
now en- route to the border, but are
making very little progress. They were
preceded by train on which were a
number of refugees. This train sue
ceeded in getting to Samalayuca, thirty
miles south, where it was wrecked.
Two locomotives were sent from
Juarez tonight to bring in such cars
of the train as could be moved. Sew
eral thousand people waited around the
station through the night, expecting
friends on this train.
Persistent reports are in circulation
in Juarez that the Carranza garrison
there, known TO be strongly Villista in
sentiment, is ready to join the Villa
forces when they move on the town.
Efforts are being made tonight by
Carranza officers to hold the garrison
in check until General Gonzales can
send in sufficient reinforcements to
control the situation.

DIAMONDS
IN MODERN SETTINGS

the colonel's desk yesterday came
from "a prominent Fifth Avenue de-
partment store, largely patronized by
18th Regiment men and their families
and friends the name Of which was
not given. II seems that somebody
recently threatened to discharge three
men in the regiment if they did not
return to work. Colonel Fisk took up
their case at McAllen. He did not
mince words in his letter to the firm.
The result WAS that yesterday the last
letter from the firm said a serious
mistake" had been made and that the
three men would not lose their Jobs.
A well-known bonding house in the
financial district wrote that the head
Of the firm disagreed with the Admin
istration's Mexican policy and would
no longer support it by paying the
wages and keeping the job of an en-
ploye who went away with the 18th.
Colonel Fisk sent a reply, pointing out
the cruel fsllacy of such a course.
But the firm has persisted, neverthe-
less, and the Guardsmsn must seek .
job elsewhere.
One of the most annoying features
OF the border encampment was the
"wire-pulling" of employers in New
York. Even the State Of New York
transgressed Every device known to
politicians Fas used to get a discharge
for state cmploye in the Insurance

London Feels u. S. Should

offered in the American market and at
the first impression it was disagree
able surprise. Prominent financiers de-
clined TO comment on the warning al
least until they had given 1t further
consideration.
The general feeling among business
man here is that the Entente Allies are
snfh good customers of the IAited
states that they can reasonably o.peet
ali possible accommodation IN mrthods

aims financial standing remains sc high
that all classes Of government securi-

even under the present circum" Ances'
about as readily as American securities
would be taken here.
There has been 4 certain amount OF
criticism. both in Parliament and by
financial writer's, OF the governments
oolicy in meeting obligations by large
issues OF Treasury bills, but the oriu-
ci.m was based on the argument that
the government was paying a higher

preciats the price. OF other seeurues'
