MEXICO FACES FAMINE.
Pinch of Hunger Already Felt in Ger
tain Sections.

Eagle Pass-Curtailment of traffic
between the United States and Mexico,
due to the present situation, already
is causing a pinch of hunger through
out the southern republic, according
to late arrivals from Mexico.
According to men in close touch
with Mexican affairs, Gen. Carranza
would be unable to feed his troops
longer than three months should the
United States blockade the ports and
stop food shipments across the Dor
der. In six months, these men say,
the entire country would be IN a state
of famine.
According to estimates said to be
conservative, the three main Mexican
commanders have upwards of 10000
men under arms. Gen. Pablo Gonzales
is said to have 10000 men, Gen. Obre-
gon $4,000 and Gen. Jacinto Treyino
10000 These estimates, however,
probably include certain proportion
of camp followers.

POWERFUL DRIVE
MADE BY ALLIES
FRENCH AND BRITISH COMBINED
HAVE CAPTURED 10000 GER
MAN PRISONERS.
BRITISH ARE ENTHUSIASTIC
Big Advance Of Allies Continues With
Unabated Energy and Increasing
Gains-TWo Villages Have
Been Captured.

London-The "big push" of the al
lies continues with undated energy
and increasing gains. The Germans
have been pushed steadily back until
the French are within six miles OF
Peronne, vital point on the main feed
Ing railroad of the Germans and the
center Of a system of radiating high
roads They have captured the village
of Curlu and Fraz and have broken
into the German second line OF de-
fenses at a number of points. The
British have captured the village Of
Fricourt and pushed further eastward
toward the Bapaume-Peronne high
road, which is now less than seven
miles away.
In the first SO hours of their Picardy
drive the French and British had cap
tured more than $500 German prison
ers. cleared so square miles of French
territory of the invaders and have
carried IL villages on a complicated
series of entertainments and redoubts,
which the Germans have been more
than 90 months constructing.
The British public still displays the
same quiet enthusiasm, determination
and confidence, fully understanding
that no great drive like that carried
out by the Russian general, Brussilloff,
is possible against the formidably or
ganized German front, and that great
sacrifices and possible setbacks must
be prepared for.
Many regrets are heard that Kitch-
ener did not live to see the results of
his work. This is the first great bat
tie in which the military legions he
created were put to the test.

EASEMENT FOUND GUILTY
Irish Knight Loses Battle for Life On
Charge of High Treason-Jury
Out Less Than One Hour.

London.-Sir Roger Casemen was
found guilty of high treason on June
29 and sentenced to death. The end
of the historic trial came when the
jury, which had been out less than
an hour, brought in its verdict against
the Irish knight
The chief justice, after defining the
law of treason, pointed out that many
facts in the case were undisputed.
Sir Rogers chief counsel, Alexander
Sullivan, who collapsed in court, was
unable to appear the last day and his
argument was taken up by Artemus
Jones, assistant counsel for the de-
fense. The attorney general, Sir Fred
erick Smith, summed up the case for
the prosecution.

Caustic Rebuke,

There is loud chuckling in British
naval circles over the latest story:

practice a heavy fog came on, and the
ship whose turn it was to fire lid not
sight the target until with 800 yards
range. She Immediately opened fire,
and blew the target clean out Of the
water. The senior officer of the flo

r. H. Knox a Winner

Rush, as he is generally known
here in Pontotoc county is a can
didate for Supreme Court Judge
of the Northeren District Of Mis-
sissippi, and is making a thor
ough canvass Of the thirty-one
counties that comprise his dis
trict. We understand he has
been in about twenty-five Of
these counties and is meeting
with much encouragement.
We know Of no one we would
rather see meet with success
than Rush Knox. He was
reared on a small farm near
Pontotoc, and after he had fin
ished his high school work here
he went to Mississippi College for
three years and then attended
the Law school at Oxford. He
was admitted to the bar in June
1909 ard moved to Houston to
practice his profession, and
was for five years a law partner
of Mitchell and Fletcher. After
doing a general practice there
for nine years was appointed
District Attorney to succeed
Hon. Hubert Stephens, who
resigned to run for Congress.
He was reelected District Attor-
ney by an overwhelming MAORI
ty and last year was elected
without opposition.
We have watched his career
with increasing pride and pleas
ure, and his, like many other old
Pontotoc boys has been a source
of much qualification to the pa
triotic citizenship of Pontotoc
county. So, we say go to it,
Rush! We are for you, and it
seems from what we can gather
hither and thither that your
election is assured. -Pontotoc

HE WAS NOT ON EXHIBITION
occasion When Sir George White Was
Surprised by Entirely unex-
peeted Reception.

The late Sir George White was
wonderful in the way of taking exer-
else, and when commander in chief
in India used to run his staff off
their legs when going for exercise
round the various roads in the neigh
borhood of Simla. There is tun-
mel by which the main road goes
through the hillside at one spot, but
it is so narrow that a policeman is
stationed at each end to keep the
traffic going alternately one way or
the other.
On the occasion of large garden
party, according to Sir Robert
Baden-Powell, in his book "Indian
Memories" when all the rank and
fashion of Simla in their rickshaws
were about to pass through the tun-
mel, the policeman stopped them and
held up the. traffic, for the news had
spread that the lord sahib was COM
ing through. The '1ord sahib" is the
title given by the natives both to the
viceroy and to the commander in
chief.
Everybody waited expecting to see
one or the other of these magnates
riding through with all his glittering
staff, instead Of which there came
from the tunnel a single, solitary
tigure-a tall, thin man in a singlet
and fannels, running in more senses
than one, and not little startled to
find himself in the presence of Sim
las society, collected as if to receive
him. 1t was Sir George White.
