sbIe to Buy Supplies.

General Pershing said some suppli- es had been purchased in Chihuahua and, that there appeared to be no dis position to withhold their goods, but that the limited amount of supplies at Jnibuahua makes it almost impossible to get provisions.
 The present positions of the advan- ced columns is not made public, but it was known that cavalry columns under Coloneis Brown and Dodd are driving south from Satevo. Officers !, here had no information that either force had gone so far as Parral, but tEey said the receipt of such informa- ton would be no surprise. General Pershing himself is moving south along the trail to Satevo.

PEN BOARD SITS TIGHT
Commissioner Asked to Resign By Governor Follows Majority Action.

Little Rock, April 10.-If there were developments yesterday in the con- trcversy resulting from Governor Hays request last week that Peniten- tiary Commissioners J. A. Bradsher and J. V. Ferguson resign, none of these interested in the matter cared to disclose them Commissioner Brad sher spent the day at the walls" where he was placed in charge by resolution adopted last week by him and Commissioner Ferguson consti- tuting majority of the board. Com missioner John T. Burgett had pre- viously been assigned to charge Of ''the walls, and has announced that he will not abide by the. ruling of his fellow commissioners that he take MT, BraGshers place on the new farm Tor white convicts at Tucker
 May Name Successors.
 It is believed the first act of Gov ernor Hays in carrying cut his an nounced purpose of removing the two wlll be to appoint successors to them. T.e governor declined to say who is slated for the appointments and in the upheaval that seems tc. have begun in state offices and on state commissions s;nce the recent state primary, no one could be found to volunteer reason able guess as to who the appofntees ar" to be.
 An amusing situation in the contro- versy may result from the existing re- lations between the governor and At torney General Wallace Davis who by virtue of his office would have an inn portant part in any legal proceedings resulting from the dismissal or the commissioners. is known that MT Davis, as a supporter of Dr. c. II. Brough, with the two commissioners, in the recent primary is not on the friendliest terms with the governor and it is said that this will prove handicap to the administration Tn carrying ont its program.

THE DUKE OF ROMAN .EMuLATES HIS SIRES' BY VALoR AT S0MME.
People Give Him One of Most Imposing Funerals
 Seen Since War began.

Paris, Aug. 29.-Tne Duke of Ro- han. killed in the battle of the Som- me, has had one of the most imposing funerals seen in France during the war. It was not only a tribute to the heroic young nobleman, but a pubic recognition that the sons or the old nobility of France are fighting for the Republic with the same ardor that the old nobility fought for the Kings.
 The Rohans are among the famous old fighting families of France. They fought at the Siege of La Rochelle. They were among the musketeers of I,ouis XIV. One of them was known as the "Young Hero" in the Seven Years War; Another became bishop and built the famous palace at Strass- burg which is still an architectural wonder. But while aristocrats. they shared the views of Lafayette and other French noblemen admirtng re- publican institutions, and the present generation of the family has been one of the most enthusiastic supporters of the Republic.
 The young Duke Of Roman hrst showed his republican sympathies by becoming a member Of the Chamber of Deputies. But he was no sooner elected than the war broke out, and he entered the republican army as second lieutenant. One day when home on leave he visited the corridors of the Chamber, and heard a deputy shouting politics to a circle of listen ers The Duke murmured dissent to some of the political statements,

whereupon the Deputy ansriiy ex- claimed:

 "I am sorry you do not know me-" said the Duke. Let me introduce myself as one of your colleagues of the Chamber of Deputies, member for L'Aube. If you have not seen me there it is because have been at the front and have not set my foot in the Cham- ber since war began"
 A little later the Duke returned to the front, where he is credited with one of the notable daredevil under takings of the war. While out re-. connoitering az . cavalry lieutenant, he arrived along with his orderly at an inn where a hundred Prussian sol- diers had taken possession and were having a drunken orgie. Warned by a peasant, the Duke would not turn back. Entering the place brusquely, and speaking in German in imperative tones he commanded the party to sur render, as the house was surrounded. on all sides.
 Surprised by the sudden apparition, by a firm voice of conn mand, and hearing the orderly with his horses outside, the jewellers re- signed themselves. gave up their arms. and submitted as prisoners until a French cavalry patrol warned of what had occurred, arrived to escort the hundred prisoners of single hero.
 This is the story. as told of the young Duke of Rohan, and passing current as one of the realities of the war; That it is authentic is evident from the fact that 1t won him the Le- zion of Honor and placed the stamp of government recognition on the au. dacious achievement.

Authorities on the disease hold that the blood of recovered sufferers con tains an immunizing agent which can be obtained from the serum of the blood and used effectively in treating patients. Volunteers have come for ward to offer their blood for this pur- pose. Among the contributors in New York was young man who gave 8 ounces despite the fact that he had given six ounces week before. He said he was going on a vacation soon. The photographs were made by spe- cial permission in a large New York hospital.

Paws to Advertise.

Churches in New York realize the
great advantages of advertising, and
besides using the columns of the daily
papers in their soul saving work and
electric signs and crosses on their edi-
fees they send out solicitors, men and
women, to help swell their cOngrega-
tons and enlarge their Sunday schools.
But the most daring church 'ad' is
that of Rev. DR.. Fred Winslow
Adams, pastor of ST. Andrews Metho-
dist Episcopal church. He decided to
deliver series of sermons on Love
Stories From the Bible" for which he
had an artist draw fetching poster
of two lovers when the moon drops
low. Thousands of copies in blues.
browns and orange tints were distrib-
uted, and in addition the pictures were
printed in the newspapers as paid
matter" Since the minister began to
exploit the Love Stories" his cOngre-
cations have more than doubled.
Which again demonstrates that it pays
to advertise
