Chasing Gringoes From Mexico"
A small group of Mexicans is falling
in behind the American columns as
they move northward, always keeping
out Of sight, but telling the natives
that they are chasing the gringoes
from Mexican soil. They stop when
ever the Americans halt and hide or
disarm If General Psrshings men ap-
proach them.
Two suggestions are prevalent re-
Earding the identity of these men. One
Is that they are Carranzistas trying to
give the American movement the ap-
pearance of a retreat. The other Is
that they are bandits seeking to an
noy the Americans by sniping. The
latter conjecture is the most favored.

Great Crisis in Nations History.
II now hold and shall continue to
hold this great time Of crisis in our
country's history, because it is a great
crisis in the history of the world.

split and sundered by rivalries Of
creed, of section and national origin;
If our country's action Is to be condi-
toned by helplessness without and Of
the hyphenate within. the career Of
the United States as q great factor in
the worlds civilization is at an end.

Great professions are utterly worth,
less unless, in the first place, the mani
making them is ready to immediately
apply them to every concrete case as
it actually arises, and unless, in the
second place, when he has the oppor-
tunity, he at once turns his words into
deeds.
Il am fighting for these principles.
They are the principles you are organ
izing to support and with all my heart
welcome such support, accepting it
as given, primarily to the principles
and only secondarily for myself.
ANY man at this time of crisis, who
Is not aggressively, openly and specifi-
cally for these principles, is against
them and every patriotic man should
treat our public servants on this
basis"

London, May 20. - The Russians
have achieved in part one of their
main objects in Asiatic Turkey-the
joining of hands with their British al
lies fighting against the Turks on the
Tigris river.
Without preliminary announcement
| and apparently quite unexpectedly, a
force of Russian cavalry, latter bold

junction with the British General Cor

in the region of Kut- El-Amara, where
only recently a British force, under
General Townsend, after q long siege,
was forced to capitulate to the Turks.

How the Russians made their ad-
vance-whether along the Tigris val

STA, has not been made known.
An Official communication concern

lows:
General Lake reports that on the
nineteenth the enemy vacated the
Bethaiessa advanced position on the
right bank of the Tigris. General Cor
ringe, following up the enemy, attack
ed and carried the Dujailem redoubt.
The enemy Is still holding the Sammy

"A force Of Russian cavalry has

The sudden appearance OF the Rus.
sian cavalry with General Gorringe
has raised the question whether the
Russians already have cut the Bagdad
railway at Mosul. In any case, the
unexpected appearance of this body of
cavalry is as great surprise as was
the first landing Of the Russian troops
at Marseilles, and is another instance
of the swift and stsalthy movement OF
the Russian forces in Asia Minor.

Mr.. Rodgers has advised the state

Mexico City feel the border situation
is less critical.
