Why Not Join the Yeomen?

A modern and progressive society
which admits ladies and gentlemen in
one great order. Offers life, accident
and old age protection in one policy.
The society is only 10 years old, and
already has over 225,00O members,
with over three million and half of
assets. No other fraternal insurance
society which has been organized in
the United States within the past rs
years has made such showing. There
is reason. I will be pleased to call

Ell Paso, Tex. April 24.-The
redisposition of the American
forces as planned by General
Funston and approved by Pres
ident Wilson had been in a
large measure completed, it
was learned today.
The troops are concentrated
along the communication line,
which is said to be not more
than two hundred and fifty
miles long.
Official admission is made at
Fort Bliss, that the pursuit of
Villa is over and official admis-
sion is almost made that the
American soldiers have been
withdrawn from the advanced
positions where the hatred for
the Americans was most in
tense.

Before a fair-sized crowd, Madill

by a score of to /.
The local team was unable to find
Erwin with success, and Madill won
the game in three final innings, az

Second Baseman Meacham of the

German Position Agreed Upon.

Berlin, April 24-The imperial chan
cellor, DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg, re-
turned to Berlin Sunday afternoon,
which would seem to justify the as
sumption that the empires responsi-
BILE leaders at German headquarters
have finished consideration of the
American note and reached a decision
concerning Germany's reply.
What this reply will be is naturally
unknown to any but the highest Of
ficials.
The chancellor's return, it is under
stood, was not expected until Tues
day, hence a general decision appears
to have been reached earlier than
looked for. There is no intimation of
when the reply will be formulated, but
there seems to be much significance in
the fact that the Lokal Anzeiger which
is consistently well informed, says that
Germans strength and prestige have
so increased in the last twenty months
in the eyes of the whole world, that
the German government has indeed
only to follow the commands of wis
dom.
The obvious deduction, according to
the view here, is that there is nothing
to prevent Germany from making GER
tain concessions, if the leaders feel
that they can properly do so. Wheth-
er they do feel that they can go thus
far is, of course, another question.
There is unquestionably a consider
able peace party in Germany, which
includes powerful financial interests
represented by the Borse organ and
the Frankfurter Zeitung and including
also the Berlin Tageblatt and socialist
organs. High officials also would con-
sent to a breach or war with the Unit
ed States only most reluctantly and
under pressure of what seems to them
an unavoidable necessity.
1t may be not without significance
that Maximilian Harden was permitted
to print a remarkable article in his
paper, Zukunft, defending President
Wilson's standpoint in plain words.

SUED SANTAF
FOR QNE. DOLLAR
TH|RTY-F|VE
BUT JURY THOUGHT DIFFERENT
uY FROM PLAINTIFF AND RE-
URNS VERDICT IN FAVOR OF
RAILROAD.

Rather a peculiar case was tried in
Justice Cannon's court Saturday
which shows that the sentiment in
regard to railroads has undergone a
marked change in this locality within
the past year, and that jury sitting
on a case henceforth will be devoid
of prejudice against transportation
companies simply because they are
railroads.
The case was that of the Pauls
Valley Milling company vs.. the Santa
Fe Railroad company. The milling
company filed suit for $1,35, an al
legged overcharge on freight. The
milling company, through the local
freight adjusters, Phelan & company,
was represented by o. C. Lasher as
attorney, while w. d. Potter, local
attorney for the Santa Fe, represent
ed the railroad.
The railway demanded a jury,
which was empanelled and the case
tried. In arguing the case, Attorney
Potter cited the fact that the Santa
Fe had paid over one million dollars
to citizens of this city for damages
caused by the recent explosion and
asked the jury if in its opinion the
company owed $1.35 they would re-
fuse to pay it. The jury evidently
thought that the Santa Fe would pay
any just claim without litigation, as
they we're out about two minutes
when they returned with a verdict
in favor of the railroad company. The
case is ended, as it is not appeala5le'

Although the storm arose at church
time last night, about 1900 people
attended the meeting and DR.. Will

last night that during this week diff
ferent delegations would attend the
services at different times. Tomor-

expected to meet at the Broadway

members of the Christian church in
the city will meet at the First Chris
tian church and go to the tabernacle
in body, where they will find Sec
ton of seats reserved for them.
These church delegations will form
at the respective places, not later
than 1880 of the evening they are to
meet, so that no delay will be had
at the tabernacle. DR.. c. c. Weith,
of the First Presbyterian church, is
compelled to be out of the city a
great part of the time this week,
therefore the presbyterian delegation
will observe their time at the taber-
nacle Tuesday night of next week,
when all Presbyterians of the city
will meet at the First Presbyterian
church and go to the tabernacle in
body.
Next Saturday night the Boy
Scouts and Campfire Girls of .he
city are invited to meet and come to
the tabernacle in a body and occupy
a reserved section at the tabernacle.
In his Easter morning sermon Dr.
Williams made a strong argument on

address, and following is part OF
what he said:
There never was a greater pro

prophecy Of Christ and its fulfllment
to date when He said: Heaven and
earth shall pass away, but my word
shall not pass away How is it to be
preserved? In His day speeches were
neither printed nor reported. Was
ever such audacity seen or heard Of?
