CERVANTES LED THE ATTACK.
SAYS REPORT TO GEN. BELL

Col Cervantes, who, in the opinion Of
many, directed the bandit raid upon
Columbus. according to word received
by Gen. George Bell, jr., from private
sources. also engineered the bandit at
tack upon Boquillas and Glen Springs.
Cervantes. one of Villas bandit lead
ers, had command Of men who were
badly whipped by Col. George A. Dodd
at Temochic, in the Sierra Madres i'm
western chihuahua, on April %. He fled
with many Of his men, and, according
TO army reports, went in an easterly di-
rection. Since that event the r1o,e-
ments of the bandit colonel and his
troops have been obscure and it is he
ieved he had ample time 10 make the
cross country ride to the border.
From the Mexican side comes a story
which Andres Garcia, the Mexican con
sui in El Paso, gives some credence. IL
is tnat the attacking party may have
been under Rosario Hernandez. another
OF Villas chief aides.

ON j s. SIDE?
Gen. Gavira Says Boquillas
Raid Work of American
Interventionists.

There were no Villistas in the raid
at Boquillas Saturday and the whole
movement is the work Of intervention
lists on the American side. and the
movement originated on the American
side" Gen. Gabrial Gavira declared
Monday morning when asked for his
opinion regarding the identity Of the
raiders i'm the Big Bend" country.
I'VE have no information that the
raid was made by Villistas and do not
think that any Villa commands had
anything to do with it," he continued.
1T was started, believe, by the men
seeking Intervention and was done to
bring about trouble between the two
countries"
Not In Juarcz District.
Gen. Gavira said his district extended
only as far as Ojinaga and that the
country opposite Boqunlas was n part
or the COahuila command The JuareZ
general stated that he did not know
what disposition had been made Of the
troops below Ojinaga, as he received no
reports from that district.
Gen. Gavira also denied the report
that an effort had been made to blow
up Gen. Obregons car Friday night.
May Have Been NiIlistas.
It was stated Sunday night by a high
Carranza official that il was thought
the raid had been committed by
Nillista troops who had marched from
the vicinity Of Santa Rosalia. which is
q hotbed Of Villistas, TO the border
opposite Boquillas and IL was believed
that Rosalio Hernandez, a former
Nillista general, had been in command
of the troops.

thought a U. S. army instructor
would be available by February.
Senator Chamberlain thinks COM
pulsory military training is soon to
come to the United States. A ma
jority of the senate committee on mil

the magazine writer's favors it. A
umber of the advanced schools in the

The democracy of universal train
ing was cited by the senator, who
pointed to the makeup of the regu-
lar army and of the national guard
regiments that went to the Mexican
border. "Why should you give up
you'd $50 to $3.50 month job when
the man with the silver spoon fails to

The peace-at-any-price propaganda
has nearly destroyed the patriotic
spirit of this country, he said. ''In

have no standing army, but because
we have no trained men,

Tuscaloosa Is Thriving

'The only objection we people in Tus- caloosa have to Birmingham and Bir- mingham newspapers is the fact that they constantly refer to Tuscaloosa and the section surrounding our city as in the Birmingham district. '' said H. L. Smith the well known Tuscaloosa attorney I've have a district of our own, and we like to hear and read about the Tuscaloosa district However, we will forgive Bir- mingham for this oversight if several thousand Magic City people come down to cur centennial and commencement eel ebration.
 "The boil weevil and war prices for cotton tried to do lasting injury to Tuscaloosa, but we have been able to keep things moving in splendid shape through the development in other lines. Especially has there been a marked in crease in the lumber business in the past few months. There are over 50 lum- Der mills in Tuscaloosa, including the Kaul Lumber plant, the finest in the country, and all are now running full time. This activity has helped wonder fully to overcome the loss in the way of cottcn."
