American cavalrymen under Colonel
w. C. Brown, Tenth cavalry, defeated
an equal force of Villistas in the Sec
ond engagement of the campaign at
Aguas Calientes, 80 miles north of
Guerrero, on April l.
This report was made to General
Pershing Wednesday by two Mexican
ranchmen, who said that the Mexican
forces lost 80 men and 40 horses. while
the Americans suffered no casualties.
Villa was not with the band, accord
ing to the ranchmen, who asserted
that the American troops believed at
first they had encountered the bandit
chieftain. An investigation showed
that he had not been with the detach-
ment.
For hours the American cavalrymen

Ancient Art is Revived.

Eugene-W. Everingham, Of STA
Thirteenth avenue, has restored lost
art in Oregon. In the days before the
coming of the white man, the Indian
obtained yew wood in the mountains of
Lane county, from which they made
their bows and arrows. Mr.. Evering-
ham is making occasional pilgrimages
to these same forests, where he selects
choice cuts and shapes them into arch
cry sets. He began the work as pas
time. Now, working only at odd times,
his sales aggregate several hundred
dollars year, some going to Europe.

pressed the belief that the canal would
not again be closed to traffic on ac-

tortuous winding canyons and almost
impossible trails of the mountains.
Believing that they had eluded their
pursuers the bandits relaxed their Wig
ilance and before they realized it they
were confronted by the troops of the
Tenth cavalry, General Pershing's old
regiment, which had been stationed
near the town to intercept stray bands
attempting to make their escape,
Only the most meager details of the
ensuing engagement were brought here
by the Mexican ranchmen, but in
many respects it resembled that of a
week ago at San Geronimo. Immedi-
ately the bandits realized the presence
of American troops they began hur-
ried, disorganized flight from their
camp some seizing their ponies and
others trying to make their escape
afoot. They went singly and in small
parties, all firing at the American
troops as they fled. None took aim,
the ranchmen said, and as a result
none of the bullets found khaki-clad
mark.

Eleven false alarms of fire were
rung in as if by preconcerted plan,
from all parts of the city.
Finding the police powerless, the
mayor decided about II o'clock to seek
the aid of the militia. The sounding
of the militia signal on the fire alarm
had the effect of bringing to the scene
more thousands, curious as to what ac-
tion the citizen soldiers would take.
One section of the crowd around the
building went to the residence of DR..
Herbert e. Wales and attacked the
house.
DR.. Wales was interested in Ley
den's coming here. The residence of
Rev. Franklin Babb, another of the
promoters of the meeting was treated
in similar fashion. Part of the crowd
went to the home of Alderman Charles
Hoyt, commissioner of public safety,
and made demonstration.
The rooms of the National Club
were attacked and the furnishings
wrecked. Squads of police were sent

in Mexico.
On June l, 1916, just seventy years

to the territory out Of the $4,000 volun-
teers asked for by President Polk as
result Of the first war with Mexico
So far as is known there Is no rela-
tionship between the present governor
and his predecessor. The similarity in
the name and the act furnish an inter-
esting sidelight on early Iowa history.
Governor James Clarke was the last
territorial governor Of this state. He
was appointed by President Polk. who
had removed Governor Chambers from
office after the latter had constantly
vetoed the wishes of his democratic
legislature.
The magnanimity Of those early pio-
neers is shown in the act of Gov. James
Clarke, who offered the deposed Gov
ernor Chamber the command of the

Patriotism at Home,

I want to give my heartiest approval
and endorsement to the suggestion
made by The Times, that the people
who remain at home should not only
provide for the needs Of the soldiers,
but should look after their families
while they are absent in the service Of
the country. Every able bodied citi-
zen should stand ready to fill up the
ranks. If necessary, should war actually
follow, and am ready to enlist, II there
should be such need. But while the
soldiers are away from home, 1t should
be our duty, who are spared from this
service at the present time, to contrib
ute to fund such as was suggested By
The Times to help provide provisions,
to pay the rent and to provide such ac-
tual necessities for families which are
suddenly confronted with a mere pit
lance in government salaries, when
compared with the wages the husbands,

Mount Pleasant June rs. The
great Iowa Wesleyan endow-
ment campaign for 100000 in
augurated March ~ will come to a
close at midnight Friday. June 80
Upon the conference unit Of s350,000
there is still lacking roundly, $4,000.
Whether this large sum can be raised
within Ave days is largely problematic.
1t will take the most heroic sacrifice
upon the part Of the constituency OF
the Iowa conference. Every effort is
being made to bring it to successful
conclusion. Muscatine district stands
at the head of the list with total
amount of $4,000 subscribed toward
an apportionment Of 100000. The
Ottumwa district is second with
$4,000 toward an apportionment OF
100000. The Oskaloosa district
comes third with $4,000. while the
Burlington district is the fourth with
$50, 900. Subscriptions out OF confer
ence aggregate $4,000.
It was the original intention to bring
this campaign to a close on May l, but
the severe rain storms Of April 80
made cleaning day, one Of the out
standing features OF campaign OF
this character. impossible. 1t was
necessary for the leaders of this cam
paign TO attend a session of the gen.
eral conference Of the Methodist Epis-
copal church at Saratoga, y. Y. AS a
result, the closing date was postponed.
The campaign headquarters in
Mount Pleasant is scene OF greatest
activity. Since the campaign started
it is estimated that million and a
half pages of reading matter in the
form of bulletins, pamphlets and let
tiers had been distributed over the
Iowa conference. The office is open
from early morning until midnight.
A large office force is kept busy thru
out the hours Of the day and the frst
part OF the night The typewriters
pound out their ceaseless chatter for
seventeen hours a day. The work is
so arranged that there is no let up
even during the meal time. One OF the
Illuminating features Of the campaign
is the wonderful organization effected
under the supervision Of DR.. John w.
Hancher. assistant secretary of the
board Of education Of the methodist
church. Dr. Hancher has given most
OF his time to this work. The organi-
zation which is blended around the

filled by incompetent men appointed
only for reasons of partisan politics
They have dulled the moral sense OF
the people. They have taught us that
peace, the peace of cowardice and dis
honor and indifference to the welfare
of others, is to be put above righteous
ness, above the stern and unf1inchins
performance of duty whether the duty
is pleasant or unpleasant. Yet in Mex
leo they have failed even to secure the
peace which they thus sought; and
they have failed in spite of the most
ample opportunity and most ample
warning, to prepare in any real fashion
to meet the crisis which their own
policy invited. They have taught us
to put safety first" saftey before duty
and honor: to put that materialism
which expresses itself in mere money
making, and in the fatted ease of life,
above all spiritual things, above all the
high and fine instincts Of the soul. They
have taught us to accept adroit elocu-
ton as a substitute for straightforward
and efficient action. They have raised
indecision. hesitancy and vacillation
into settled governmental policy.

OF Straightforward thinking which

carer is a guarantee that whatever he
says before election will be made good

public record shows him to be a man
Of unbending integrity: intellectually,
it shows him TO be a man of original
