London claimed on Sunday that
British forces in Egypt are still driv-

still in pursuit of the Turkish rear
guard and Saturday evening had driv-

The Italians captured the Austrian
stronghold of Goriza last week and
followed with a fierce attack on the
fortified town of Tolmein, which, next
to Goriza, is the strongest fortified

now swings southwark toward Triest,
being met with stiff resistance from
a reinforced Austrian army.

With the refusal of the big four
brotherhood representatives to arbi-
trate in any form on the questions OF
an eight hour day and time and one
half for overtime for the railroad en-
ployes, the question of a general
strike hinged on the outcome OF the
conference between President Wilson
and both sides of the controversy held
in Washington Monday. In case the
president failed to persuade the two
parties to an amicable agreement, it
seemed likely that an appeal would be
made to congress for emergency legis-
lation. The government will, in case
of strike take drastic action to in

IMPROVEMENTS FOR
MASONIC CEMETERY

A movement is under way Ia
make some substantial Improve.
ment' IN the Masonic cemetery, in
the matter Of re.fencing aud clean
ing up the grounds. The situation
was brought to the attention of
Randolph Lodge No. n, at the
regular meeting last week aud com.
mittees were appointed to look after
the matter Of raising funds for the
necessary improvements.
The Masonic cemetery is Masonic
IN name only. The deed to the pro-
perty Is IN the name Of the lodge,
but the grounds are public. Peo.
pie are buried there from the four
corners OF the earth, aud from every
nook aud corner Of Randolph coun-
lY' and without any charge, other
than whatever amount people have
been willing to contribute to the
sexton for his services.
This state Of facts was consider.
cd by the lodge and a committee
consisting Of K. G. Schoonover,
Ira Magruder and l.. F. Blanken.
ship was appointed by Master Slut.
tie to present a petition to the city
council and also to the county
court, asking for an Appropriation
sufficient to defray the expense Of
making any and all improvements
necessary to make it a respectable
habltation for the dead.
1t has been suggested that the
grounds be placed in the charge of
a competent custodian whose bust
ness it shall be to see that the fence
Is kept up aud the gates closed.
1t has been suggested further that
an additional preparation be asked
for sufficient funds TO build a first
class road from the court square to
the cemetery, aud also a fiye-foot
concrete sidewalk from the point
where the old board walk starts.
John X. Kizer and John X.

pleasure IN giving information and
Offering suggestions as to what
should be done and how.

VILLAS FATE is
NOT YET KNOWN

FL Paso, April Is.-The reports
OF Villas death were indirectly
confirmed here today by an Ameri.
can mining man who controls large
interests in the Guerrero die
trict. The man is m close touch
with the American military author
titles and has forwarded his iuforma-
tion to Washington. lie said:
81 know beyond any question
that Villa was wounded at Guer-
rero. | have received my account
OF the affair from one in whom L
have the fullest confidence. lie
tells me that Villa was shot through
the right knee, the bullet killing
his horse, which fell pInning the
bandit under it and injuring his
left leg. This was on March 80.
After that | received daily reports
about Villas movements up to
April 3, when he was at Satevo.
Since then | have heard nothing of
him. Knowing his condition and
the certainty Of his being wounded,
| consider 1t highly probable that
he is dead as he assuredly could not
have procured any proper medical
treatment"
