TAPPING
CARRANZA WIRES
Wherever He Goes, by This
Method Of Action, Gets
Information.

Villa spent Wednesday night and a
part Of Thursday at the Samaniego
ranch, 90 miles west Of the Mexican
Central railway at a point about half
way between Moctezuma and villa
Ahumada The telegraph line south
of MocteZuma was switched off by
Carrancista officials in order to re-
port his location to Juarez, for fear of
Villista wire tapping below that sta
ton by means of which Villa has been
keeping himself informed of the move
ments of his enemies.
Villa has several telegraphers in his
following, which is stated to include
detachments scattered throughout Chi
huahua state. and his principal means
of securing information is known to
have been by wire tapping.
The knowledge Of the Watson ex
petition, which resulted in the mas
sacre at Santa Ysabel, is believed to
have been borne to him by this method
of eavesdropping, The same holds
true in the manner Of his learning of
the presence Of Gen. Tomas Ornelas on
the train which villa later held up at
Laguna on Monday.
Has villa Encircled.
Announcement was made Friday
afternoon by Gen. Gabriel Gavira, in
Juarez. that Villa and his band are
practically encircled by Constitution
alist troops and that escape for Villa
is believed impossible. Gen. Gavira
said that Villa is between Ojo Calientes
and Moctezuma. Gavira has sent 500
men east from Juarez toward Ojinaga
to cut off Villas flight; half of the
Ojinaga garrison has been sent inland
to help form the circle and three hun
bred men have been stationed along
the border. From western Chihuahua
other troops are moving in upon villa

Moreover, it will take several years

war, in the very nature of the case,
the people of these countries will care
for their immediate needs, such as
building homes, raising food-products,
and there will not be people enough
left to turn to the rug-making indus

the front, or destroy them. They can
not be shipped out of the war-zone.

whole rug-section of he orient is one
chaos of which people In
America can scarcely form a faint
idea. The antique oriental rugs made
in homes are no moro. for the homes

be revived. but for the present the

ROUGE ON POLICEMAN REILLY.

May MEMBER OF lie heOhuh pOlhSc AoASS

missioner in the metropolis, and the next time
he stages movie melodrama in public, with
members of the force selected for their his
trionic ability for actors-well, he propaply

Policeman Christopher Reilly, to whom was
assigned the role of Pete the Pickpocket, In the
thrilling performance on one Saturday after
noon arranged for the closing feature OF the
police parade, is in hospital suffering from
Commissions on the head produced by a brother
officers club and bullet in the neck from an
other brother officers revolver. Fortunately
for Reilly, his skull and neck are OF the best
police type of construction. He is expected to
recover.
The officer who beat up Reilly, and the 9TH
er who shot him. did not know until afterwards,
of course, that their comrade IN ordinary
clothes who had grabbed a handbag from a
screaming police matron, also disguised, ana
was running down Fifth avenue, was playing :,

intelligent dog could get into action, Reilly was
laid out by the club and gun of the two police
men who had not been given parts IN the per-

and tragic thoroughness.

DARK HORSES AND OTHERS.

Political wizards that peep and mutter so
continuously just before every big national
political convention are now giving forth dark
hints about dark horses; and Senator Harding
of Ohio and former Secretary OF the Treasury
Leslie NJ Shaw of Iowa are not among those
who have escaped being mentioned. PROB
ably neither of these gentlemen IS much eN-
cited at the indicated possibility, has rea-
son to be- Somebody is said to have talked OF
Mr.. Shaw for president once before this, IN
1907 if we are not in error; and the wise OBJ
servation attributed to him then is quite peril.
nent now GA man by taking thought may
make himself justice of the peace he is re-
ported to have said, "but no man IN my time
Iby taking thought has made himself president
of the United States, and those who have gwen
the subject most serious consideration have
usually died in disappointment.
There is truth in this. The great Americans
who toiled and schemed for the presidency
Webster, Blaine and others-did not get 1t and
the dark horses who defeated them were men
who did not really think of themselves as IN
the race It is safe to say also that the candl-
dates in this present contest who are working
openly and desperately-the favorite sons OF
states-will none of them figure in the final bal
lot. Justice Hughes who has refused to call
himself candidate in any sense of the word;
Senator Root who has not lifted finger to
help himself, and Governor Mccall and one or
two other eminent republicans who have been
content to run their lightning rods up and
wait events-the honor seems now to lie be-
tween these men and the unknown dark horse,
if such there be.

IMPRESSION AND THOUGHT.

A resident of Keokuk advocates the substi-
tuition Of motion pictures for text books in a
number Of subjects Of the public school courses
of study. He says that the appeal to the eye
of the concrete picture will impress facts vivid
ly and ''save time The Gate City endorses
these views, although it is skeptical about the
advisability of discarding text books There
is place for motion pictures in school work
just as there is place for all illustration in
giving information. If the impression made
by pictures is vivid enough to make the pupil
grasp an idea and begin to think. the work
done is admirable; the value of the time saved
is only measured by the use made of the saving.
But we are not bothered so much by the diff
Guilty in giving pupils facts; it is getting them
to use facts properly that is the great need.
President Hibben, of Princeton university. re
Gently quoted from an entrance examination
paper in which the candidate wrote: Il do not
think this question fair because it requires

candidate is self-indicted and the condition
shown is the cause Of the real trouble with our

The End of Oriental Rugs.

One of the luXurtes that we must
perforce dispense with, it seems,
through the agency of war, Is the
oriental rug. Authorities in this in
dustry furnish the reminder that
Erzerum. the ancient capital Of Ar
menia, is the center of the oriental
rug-making district, and, since that
has become also the center of the
theater of war, the art of rug-weaving
is threatened in it's very existence.
In lions Herald we read:
THE district round about Is vast
camping ground, and ruin lies every
where. West Of Erzerum lies the
heritage OF the unspeakable' Turk,
whence nearly a million Armenians,
the only hope of christian civilization
in that land, have been transported
whither--no one knows. These are

NOT MEASURED IN MONEY TERMS.

It is estimated by the British that the Ger
mans have lost 2,s22,O79 men since the war be-
gan. and that of these 100000 are dead. The
population of Germany at the beginning OF the
war was approximately 65,0O0,O0O and it was
estimated that she could put 100000 men In
the field Assuming that the British figures
are correct. the frightful cost Of the war can be
seen at a glance. Practically one-haf of the
number available and not far from five per
cent. of the total population, have been put out
of action: a fraction more than one out of every
one hundred persons In the empire have been
killed and many more have been permanently
injured These losses are of men, very largely
of the young men upon whom the empire was
dependent for its growth, development and
prosperity Acquired territory and cash in
demnity might balance many accounts, but
such losses as have been mentioned cannot be
measured or expressed in terms of money.

ToDAYs BIT OF VERSE
GIVE ME The OPEN ALE


Give me the sky and open range,
The rolling hills and verdant sod.
The face of the prairie ever strange,
And the solitude that tells OF God!
The century plant that rears its pole
Above the plain in its rugged pride.
The trail to the distant water hole
And glare and CLEAN of the bare hillside.
Give me the and the spirit thrill
When the dawn is breaking in the east
And each grassy swale and hazy hill
Spreads for the eye beauty FEAST
While the dew that dampens hair and face
Glints in the light Of the waking morn
With sparkle that crown would grace.
AS it trembres the leafless thorn.
Give me the yelp and the lonesome howl
OF prairie wolf, when the day is done,
The stealthy flight of the prairie owl
And the sense of loss when light is gone
While the stars like jewels stud the sky,
The air is sweet as an infants breath,
And the prairie breeze is stealing by,
As calm and cool the shade OF death.
Give me the trail and the lowing herd,
The binding dust and the thirsty way,
The watch at night, when a run is feared,
And lots of work through the busy day;
And you may retain the counting room,
The desk the books and the office chair.
With their luxury, their and gloom,
For love, and need the open air.
