battle with the bandits, his command
cut to pieces and Colonel Martin Sa-

Large forces Of the bandits under per-

at Fresno, only 10 miles west of Chihua
hua City last night, menacing the larg-

Mexico, according to these reports.
From Mexican official sources no ver-

Since Saturdays battle between Car
ranzistas and Villistas, an unusually
rigid censorship has been maintained
by de facto officials and representa-
tives of mining companies were allowed
to send only meager details of the fight.
Chihuahua City papers print little of
the battle except to say there was heavy
fighting, resulting in victory for the
Carranzistas.

BRITISH CHILDREN ID AID BELG|ANS
Will Collect Funds Through out Empire to Send
 Across Channel

London, June Especial )-There are of IS, still in Belgium and still under German rule. To provide these gallant little victims of the war with food-which the Germans inhunanly refuse them-the children and the schools of the whole British empire are organizing children's Belgium Day, to be held on July 10
 From Fiji to Aberdeen, on July 10. wherever the British flag flies, British boys and girls will hold sports or give concerts or entertainments, the proceeds of which will be sent to the national committee for relief in Belgium. The only exception will be in Canada, where the day will probably be celebrated on No- vember liking Albert's Fete Day-as Canadian schools close for the holidays prior to July 10.
 MT. Arthur Anderson, M. P, president of the board of education. has approved of Belgium Day being held in the schools of England and Wales. The high com mssioners and agents general of various self-governing dominons have asked their respective government to set apart July 10 as day on which the rising genera ton can take their share in frustrating Germany's systematic warfare on chil- dren and infants. Teachers and pupils alike throughout the elementary and vol untary schools in the United Kingdom have welcomed the proposal. Many of the great public schools and hundreds of private schools have also undertaken to hold a Belgium schools day on July 10.
 Responses so far received from thou sands of schools make 1t certain that the tribute of July 10 from the children and schools of the British empire will be worthy of those children still in Belgium who, though only in receipts of daily ration, barely enough to keep the malive, ing German army and remain steadfast in their splendid loyalty to King Albert.

He stated that the liberty of question: able extremes will be modified. Nudity, for instance, will figure less in their draw ings-that is, the suggestive nudity. The restriction will not come from a censor. it will be the different vision of the artist himself. The follies of love vii, be less alluring as subject matter for the taint of wars martyrdom. wars heroism is
 in their blood and must turn their ideas in opposite channels.
 Even the boys who are now too young to be soldiers, who later will enter the cartoonsts' field, will be impregnated with the heroic and it is bound to have an influence on the work they do. for they live Tn the atmosphere to produce it.

 FORAIN AT THE FRONT
 Unfortunately. I failed to see Forain. who is president of the Humorist and H. lustrator society. as he was at the front. His group of drawings are as usual chefs d'oeuvre. The one of the drawing of the young artist who sits in his atelier, the right arm amputated, the left holding enc of his canvases is sad story of broken career-an end of future dreams This picture is going to the Rheims mu- scum. Rheims is the birthplace of Fo- rain.
 The vice president and general secre- tary, Maurice Neumont, has also a splen- did display of rawings at the exhibition Neumont in his military uniform has the correct manner of the military officer and is a type the reverse of Sem or Gull laume.
 Both Neumont and Forain have very important military duties. They are often in the most dangerous positions at the front, for they are engaged in drawing maps and plans for the commanders of the army to follow. There have been times when they have been only 30 metres from the enemy Their presence often required in the observation tower places them In very vulnerable position.
