RUINED BY VILLA
Outlook in chihuahua Was Bright
Before the Raid.

Conditions in Chihuahua, Mexico,
were beginning TO assume a rosy as
pect just before Villa staged the lit
tie raid that sent this government
into Mexico after him, according to p
letter reviewed by Frank Dickerson OF
Topeka from his father, w P. Dick
erson, who has candy factory in
Chihuahua
Prospects for fairly regular train
service looked good according to
Mr.. Dickerson, and residents in and
about Chihuahua. believed that the
government would soon be able to
drive the bandits out of the country.
Paso were accompanied by military
escorts. but it was generally believed
that safe travelling would be possible
within a month Mr. Dickerson said.
While industry was practically at Il
standstill. preparations were being
made to reopen a number of plants.
The electric plant was operating with
only occasional breaks for lack of fuel
Steps also were taken to operate street
cars and the ice plants again. he said
The American consul had just re-
turned TO Chihuahua when Mr.. Dick
erson wrote his letter and Americans
were beginning to straggie into the
city.
Few automobiles are seen in the city
now. according to Dickerson- New
government officials were far less ex-
travagant than the old regime. he
says, and practically all Mexican citf-
zens who owned automobiles are now
out of the country.

RUMANIA TO KICK IN
II 1t Joins Allies, Greece's Predica-
ment Is More VexatiOus.

Athens. March 20.-The impression
prevails in high political circles at
Athens that Roumania will shortly
abandon her policy of neutrality in
favor of the entente allies
Should Rumania enter the war
Greek officials would be placed in an
embarrassing position, the force of
which already is felt. Military repre-
sentatives of the entente allies do not
disguise the fact that at present they
have no need for Greece and do not
desire to assume responsibility for
maintenance and equipment of the
Greek army unless they are assured
definitely of cooperation in the event
of an allied offensive in Macedonia
The course of the fighting at Yer
dun has produced a marked impress
sion on even the most determined non
interventiOnists. and the royalist press
is changing its tone in regard to the
participation of Greece in the war.
The feeling of allied diplomatists
seems to be that if Greece desires to
enter the war now she Will have to
do so on her own initiative and with
no conditions with respect to terri
torial compensa ton.

MARIETTA SPLITS z
GAMES WITH CANTON

In two games played with Canton
the past week, the Marietta Base ball
team split even, losing the first by
a score of TO and winning the sec
ond 81.
The first game was rather a tame
affair the "hill-billies" with Big
Aiken, pitching, having the best of
it the whole way. This boy, who
halls from Copper Hill, featured the
game with his pitching and had the
locals at his mercy. Christopher on
the mound for Marietta, was hit free
ly, especially in the fourth inning,
when he allowed four hits. These
coupled with two errors, gave Can
ton four runs. In this game the Ma
rietta boys were decidedly off color,
both in the feld and at the bat,
Kemp and McLain being the only
two playing true to form.
Hawkins at second cut off a hit
by a spectacular catch of a line drive.
SECOND GAME
This was an exciting game, mark
ed by the pretty pitching Of Parker
and the fielding of the Marietta
team Rucker, pitching for Canton,
lost his game in the first two innings
when he hit Cassidy, and allowed the
five succeeding men to hit safely He
frightened after the second inning
and though Marietta got men on
bases in nearly every inning, could
not get them around.
Parker pitched gilt edged ball
throughout, and especially in the
pinches. He deserved a shut-out
Canton fought hard and if wrang-
ling and 'beefing' could have won,
they would have been returned vic
tors.

One Young Lady.

In nine cases out of ten fashions
are born, not made, and they can Of
ten be traced to the influence OF pass
ing events. It would seem that the
short, full skirts which are now in
vogue originated with the Russian bal
let which has been so popular Of late,
in the same way as the tight skirts fol
lowed the craze for oriental plays and
dances. Following up the Russian in
f1uence, the Paris fashion experts in
troduced the Cossack coat and high
Cossack boots.
Dress experts keep changing the
fashions, as It were, in self-defense.
At one time acknowledgements and
hand-embroidered blouses were the
vogue. Then machines were so per
feeted that machine embroidered
bIouses outrivaled the hand work, and
fashion experts retaIiated by design
ing blouses as plain as they could be
made.
The fashion for uncurled feathers
was the result OF a wet day CurIed
ostrich feathers were on every hat,
when, at some fashionable function.
