All Messages Received by Min
ing Concerns Indicate
Reports Are True.
ALL THE PE0NS SAY so
Grave is Claimed to Be in the
Neighborhood of San
Francisco Borga.

Ell PAso, Tex. April 20.-The
growing belief that Francisco Villa
Is dead, whether or not his body is
recovered, was strengthened Thurs
day by messages received by Amer
lean mining concerns here from their
agents at Cusihuiriachic, Parral,
Santa Barbara and Guerrero.
All OF these messages agreed that
the report OF Villas death was COM
mon among the poems in northern
chihuahua and was generally accept
ed as true. One very circumstantial
story sent to the head OF a mining
concern operating. in the Guerrero
district by his Mexican superinten-
dent was positive that Villa had been
buried IN the neighborhood OF San
Francisco Borga. the hamlet where
the grave of the bandit has been re-
ported found.
Fears are openly expressed by the
army officers that should an order
TO withdraw the American troops and
other marauding bands will raise the
cry that the American troops are in
retreat with the result that American
soldiers will be subject to constant
night attacks and sniping as they re-
tire from Mexico.
To prevent such warfare against
his columns, General Pershing is pre-
pairing to be in a position to move
his forces in large units.
The belief is general at Fort Bliss
that the troops will encounter more
difficulties in withdrawal from Mex
leo than they did on their rapid 400
mile drive from Columbus to Parral.

BY Evangelist Sam. Hawkins ir
the Revival at the Central
Christian Church.

The theme of the sermon delivered
by the Rev. Mr.. Hawkins to an ap-
preciative Audience at the Central
Christian church last night was 1.-THE
Son Of God" He highly maintained
the high standard set the night be-
fore on the subject, 1.-THE Word OF
God"
The speaker assumed that the
proposition of the night before had
been fairly maintained, viz: That
the Bible is the Word OF God. On
that basis he demonstrated in an
overwhelmingly conclusive manner
that Jesus Is the Son of God. He
made impressive the fact that more
depends upon the truth Of the propo-
sition that Jesus Is the Son of God
than upon any other proposition
that could be named. Destroy that
and the Bible Is proven false book;
the church is an institution with an
imaginary head. and every Christian
hope Is without substance.
He called attention to the different
titles by which Jesus is designated in
the Bible-Son Of Abraham, Son of
Dayid, Son OF Joseph, Son Of Mary,
Son Of Man, and Son OF God.
He stated that the casual reader
OF the Bible attaches no special i'm
portance to these titles. He electrl-
fed his audience by declaring In a
dramatic manner that IL 1t could be
shown that Jesus was not the son
of Abraham or the Son of David, that
he would never preach another SER
mon. He defended this statement on

cere hope that the attitude oflthe Ger.
man government would, be adjusted
SO as to meet the position taken by
the United States.
The, ambassador was understood
to have informed the secretary Of the
details of a message he sent We'd

certain recommendations which he
believed, II acceptable to his govern
ment would be satisfactory to the
United States. 17t-
( In addition the ambassador in

Of highly confidential nature he had
received from, Berlin.

REVOLUTION IN
INDIA PLOTTED
With the American Headquar-
tiers of The Plotters on The
Pacific Coast.


LONDON, April 20-As the result
OF the seizeure Of German and Aus
TRAN subjects aboard the China mail
liner, China, last February while
bound from Shanghai for the United
States. the intelligence department
of the British government claims to
have uncovered a plot OF immense
ramifications conducted with the
purpose of causing revolution in
India.
The American headquarters Of the
plotters is said to be on the Pacific
coast. At least one ship is known
to have sailed from San Francisco
with a German crew and Indian con-
spirators and arms on board.
The headquarters OF the plot In
the Orient was at Shanghai and
when the gun running and other ma.
chinations were uncovered, accordig
to the authorities here, the plotten
set sail for Manila aboard the steam.

MORE STRONG MEAT"
OF GOSPEL is GIVEN

the ground Of the promises of God in
the covenant made with Abraham
and of the promise made to David
that "of his lolns he would raise
up a son to sit on his (David's)
throne" He stated that any Jew on
earth today could rightly claim to
be son Of Abraham, but that no
living Jew would prove himself a son
Of David.
One feature OF the sermon which
elected much comment of apprecia-
ton, was the explanation of the APP
parent discrepancies between the
geneology Of Christ In the first chap
ter Of Matthew and the third CHAPTER
of Luke. He stated that Tom
Paine in his age of Reason" had
made this apparent, though to him
real Discrepancy, one of his strong
arguments against the Bible. Matt
hew gives the paternal geneology of
Christ and Luke gives the maternal
ancestry of Christ. Both Mary and
Joseph were descendants of David.
However, no drop OF David's blood
was in the Christ through Joseph.
The blood relationship to David was
through Mary, his mother. While
the legal title to the throne came
through Joseph, since he was born
in wedlock.
Other convincing arguments used
by the evangelist was the minute full
fillment of prophecies that had been
made thousands OF years before con-
corning the Christ, and the influence
of His life and teachings which can
not be satisfactorily explained upon
any other basis that that He is the
Christ OF prophecy, the Son OF God.
The subject tonight will be "The
Spirit Of God"
