Mexico Must Make Good.

Washington, Dec. IA firmer policy
toward Mexico, if Carranza fails to
deal adequately with vexing problems,
is the present administration plan, the
United Press learned today.
Such a policy, authorities limited, may
be put into effect shortly if the first
chief is unable to cope with the Villa
movement in northern Mexico. At any
rate, it will be inaugurated providing
Carranza does not see to it that Amer
lean demands for material change are
met.
These demands look for higher re-
spect for American rights and property;
and while the administration hopes that
it will come through agreement, offie
ials still must be convinced that this
happy solution will result
In short. the policy will be to allow
Mexico sufficient opportunity to "put
her house in ORDER without American
interference, but with American
"help.'
The Villa movement, with its appar
.ent success at Chihuahua City, is a puz-
zle here. How the bandit chief got his
new strength mystifies and where it
may lead is an admittedly touchy specu-
lative point.
General Pershing's force will not go
hunting trouble in the present situa.
ton, though there is still authority for
action if Villa gets within range of the
American expedition.
While watching northern Mexico an.
xiously, the administration is still in
doubt as to what Carranza intends to do
about the Atlantic City conference
agreement for American troop with.
drawal. All reports here indicate the
Mexicans are disturbed at Chairman
Lanes hints of a firmer policy toward
Mexico, unless Mexico cleans herself
up.

Treyino Fought Hard.

From refugees arriving here. from
Mexico vivid stories of the Chibuahua
battle, have been obtained. Al credit
General Trevino with making stub
born stand but the furious Fushes and
the superior strategy of the Villistas
wore down the resistance of the de-
Tenders whose defeat and rout were COM
plete.
Last reports placed General Trevino
with the remnants Of his forces near
Aldams, northeast of Chihpsnua City,
and heading toward the Big Bend dis
trict of Texas. .
No estimate of the losses in. the five
day battle can be obtained from any
source, Incoming refugees declared the
number of killed ran into the hundreds
on both sides.
Despite preparations by Villa imme-
diately after his occupation of the
northern capital indicating his intention
of holding the city, in military circles
here it is not believed he will make the
attempt. Close observers point out the
difficulty of standing off determined
attacks from the north and south with
the city isolated.
After capturing Chihuahua City Villa
took up his residence in his own home,
built when he was in possession of the
city Is months ago. To each of his lead
ers he apportioned a sector of the de-
fensive works and reconstruction of
trenches and earthworks was COM
menced and the captured artillery shift
ed to new positions.
Scores of wounded officers and men
fill the private homes in Juarez. A
quantity of medical supplies has been
taken across the river from here.
Soldiers of General Ozuna's cavalry
who fled to the border without their
arms or horses are being refitted to-
day.

Day or night you'll hear him pounding

his name.

You may wonder how he finds his

DIVISION OF NUMBERS.
Rules That Will Simplify Some Exam,
pies In Arithmetic.

O. 2
1t is often convenient to know whcth-
er given number rs Invisible by an.
other without going through the usual
process Of division. Almost every one
knows TINT however large number
may be, 1t is Invisible by 5 II the last
digit is 5 o. The following gives the
rule fog some other numbers:
A number is divisible by 2 when the
last digit Is divisible by 2: by ) when
the sum of the digits is Invisible by 8;
by 4 when the number represented by
the last two digits is Invisible by 4; by
s when the number ends in or 0; by
9 when it is Invisible by . and also by
8; by when the number represented
by the last three digits is diyisible by
8; by 0 when the sum Of the digits is
Invisible by 0.
For example. the number 1928 is d.
visible by 2. because its last digit. s. is
Invisible by 9; by 4. because % is diyis-
ibie by 4. and by 8 because 72S is divis-
lille by 8. 1t is alsa' Invisible by and
by 0. for the sum oftits disits total IS.
a number Invisible by . and by 0. Since
it is divislblc by : and By 3. it is also
Invisible by 6.
To find whether a number Is divisible
by Z you must go through the usual
process Of division.-Youth's Compan-

In the first place. the strait of Magel.
Ian is 400 miles long. It IS as twisty

In places it is fanked with snow cap

1t would help matters II ships could

is too deep. So this strait has never
