distance of the San Geronimo ranch
where the quarry was last known to
be. This ranch is at the head of the
Santa Maria Valley where the river
of that name has its rise.
172 Troops Massacrcd
Another detachment of General
Pershing's cavalry is believed to have
swung southeast from MADEIRA, pass
ing well south of Guerrero where Villa
is said to have massacred 172 CarranZa
troops and to be striking for Cerro
Prieto and Cusihuiriachic in the hope
of cutting off the brigand from the
south. The east is presumably closed
by the several thousand men whom
General Gutierrez is said TO have in
the district around Chihuahua City.
May BE In Trap Again
So again hone has arisen that Villa
is trapped, but those who know the
man and country best are not disposed
to become optimistic. The most
popular argument advanced by the
optimists is that this time he is
being pursued with a purpose, vigoI
and a discipline that he has never be-
fore confronted.
Wild Rumors OF Raids
The fact that the bandit turn ed
northeast from Guerrero instead of in
a southerly direction gave rise to wild
stories that he was headed for the
border with the intention of perpetrat-
ing another raid on the territory ot
the United States.
AS far as FL Paso was concerned
immediate interest to-day was di.
verted to the expected attempt of the
military authorities to send supplies tC
General Pershing's base over the
Mexican Northwestern Railroad. Gen
eral Bell is believed to be planning
to offer shipments some time during
the day and the greatest interest was
aroused as to what would be the re-
suit,

RETAIN CONTROL OF SELF
Without That 1t Is Unreasonable to
Think One Has the Ability to
Control Others.

The other day man who makes his
living by fighting, was struck by an
understood man, and instead of return
ing the blow he walked away from his
diminutive assailant.
This man exhibited much more self
control than the majority of people.
Men who class themselves as being
on a higher plane than this fighting
man would have mixed Immediately
with the hot-headed individual.
what would you have dOneY
The chances are that you would have
rushed at the fellow with all your
might; you would have permitted your
savage instincts to rule you.
This proves that you have not as
much power as you should have over
your impulses.
You may boss other people, but you
are not boss Of yourself.
Maybe you wonder why others are
forging ahead of you as leaders Of
men.
1t is because they have check rein
on themselves. They have schoOled
themselves that they may be able to
guide others. Self-control is the at

President Wilson told callers he was
much concerned over the possibilities
of the British order and there were
indications at the State department
that some step might be taken soon
unless a reply was forthcoming to the
informal inquiries on the subject made
by Ambassador Page at London.
Already the department has accum.
ulated considerable information re-
garding the blacklist, sufficient, 1t was
said by one Official to warrant action
if there was no promise of an immel
date explanation. It was intimated
that some announcement might be
made at once, although it was not
made clear whether it would take the
form of formal protest to Great Brit.

ment for the general information of
American business interests likely to
be affected.
The principle Of a boycott Of firms
incorporated under American law to
engage in legitimate trade Is particu-
larly obnoxious to officials here.

NeedIessIY Alarmed.

A man who was stung by hornets
last summer was awakened by buzz
ing sound almost directly above him.
He ducked his head under the COW
erS.
When he ventured an ear out to
listen he heard the sound again, even
louder than before.
Again he ducked under the covers.
Then, realizing that he couldn't stay
in bed all day, he put his head out
from under the covers and yelled. This
was with the idea of soaring whatever
was buzZing.
He succeeded in that, but it wasn't
q hornet or bee.
It was a hired girl running vacuum

post to the camp.
Negro Throws Rock at Car.
An instant after one of them threw
4 rock which struck the rear of his
car Henne directed his driver to stop
and he alighted Turning toward the
advancing group Of guardsmen, he was
met with invectives and he instantly
changed his direction towards the
nearest open door, that of a saloon.
AS he ran, Henne claimed he heard
one of the men call out: Come on,
he's unarmed. Let's get him"
OnOOIS TOT <%S6lSL&HG0s
Inside the saloon he shouted to the
bartender and his helper, the only 9th
er occupants Of the place, for assist
ance, but they remained behind the
bar, leaving Henne to face the negroes,
by that time orowding through the
door. According to his story, he kick
ed the first man out of his way and
cleared wider path by knocking down
another. He expressed the opinion after
the incident was concluded that his
assailants had been drinking. This
was substantiated by subsequent off,
cial investigation.
Provost Guard to Rescue.
Henne said he asked the bartender
for q pistol, but was told there was
none there. He seized big knife that
was used in cutting tobacco and with
that weapon faced the negroes, one
of whom, he said, was flourishing a
knife. The little group Of his assail-
ants had been increased by 10 or Is
of the same regiment when a detach-
ment of the provost guard of the Nine
teenth infantry rushed up the street
and poured into the saloon. Ordering
the men to quarters, the guard began
using their guns as clubs. They forced
the negroes out into the street, where,
reinforced until perhaps the number
was % or 80. the negroes turned on
the regulars. Failure to obey an order
to move was followed by the order to
move was followed by the order to
fire. The regulars aimed low. all the
