NOTE ACCEPTABLE
 TO PRESIDENT ALL DANGER OF BREAK IS PAST Although Displeased with Some Por. tions of German Reply It Is Believ- ed That the Message as Whole Is Satisfactory.
ALL DANGER OF BREAK IS PAST

WASHINGTON, D. C.. May S. The attitude of President Wilson on the German reply has practically set tied all discussion as to the outcome. It is the generally accepted belief that the President, although displeased with some portions of the German note will accept the whole as satis- factory compliance with the demands of the United States and that there will be no diplomatic break with Ger many if that country keeps its prom ises.
 There is a general feeling here that the crisis is past, and that any differences between the two countries that may not have been adjusted in the note, will be settled by further correspondence. These embrace only minor points, however, and will lead to no serious consequences.

the necessity for sending reinforce ments here to guard the border towns. This has been urged upon them for some time, but it has evidently been considered that the border towns were not in danger so long as the United States troops remained in Mexico. Today's raid has demon strated that it will be necessary to station a considerable number of sol diers in almost every town along the border until such time as the Villa forces in Mexico are completely wiped out. Much praise is being accorded the small band of cavalrymen at Glenn Springs who stood off the vast ly superior force of outlaws, and made such good record in marksmanship.

ALPINE, Texas. May S.-Advices received here this morning state that a band of two hundred Villistas ford ed the Rio Grande opposite the town of Boquillas, in Brewster county, at an early hour this morning and raid ed the town. The only store in the town was plundered and the proprie- tor and his clerk were kidnapped by the outlaws, who, 1t is believed, murdered the men after they left the town. The store building was set on fire and was completely destroyed. The bandits kept up constant fusil Jade against the various dwellings of the town, keeping the inhabitants within doors while they robbed the store. Several narrow escapes from the bullets of the bandits is reported.
 Following the raid upon Boquillas. the Villistas marched fifteen miles to the town of Glenn Springs where they attacked the garrison of nine soldiers of the Fourteenth infanty stationed there. A spirited fight ensued, in which three of the soldiers were kill ed, and a ten year old boy was also shot down. After the Villistas had been dispersed it was found that they had left seventeen of their band dead and a number of wounded as trib ute to the craftsmanship of the Uni ted States soldiers.
 News of the attack on the two towns was immediately sent here. and a detachment of the Fourteenth cav airy, with machine guns, was sent to the scene in the hope of overriding the bandits.
 The news of the raid has created an intense hatred against the Mexi- cans here, and the authorities are talk ing every precaution to prevent the outbreak of a race war. as there are many Mexicans residing here.
 Boquillas and Glenn Springs are situated in the southern part of Brewster county, about 20 miles from the Mexican border. They are small settlements of about 50 population each, and are supply points for large cattle raising country.

He who speaks into the recorder of

that while his voice sounds familiar
enough to his friends it sounds quite
strangely to himself And many of
us know still less about our actual
characters than about our real voices
... Does any one, for instance, ever
candidly admit that he is given to
envy or prejudice? Do we ever ac-
knowledge that the success, the pros
perity, the superiority of another, eX-
cites within us a feeling of uneasi-
ness and discomfort, accompanied by
a desire if not an actual effort, to
mortify and disparage the person in
question? Are we not all willing to
subscribe to the verdict in which the
worlds best men have always con-
Cured that envy thrives only in a
low, mean, ungenerous nature; and
that 1t is, without exception, the most
Improbable of all sins? Real justice
to all men is so rare and mans in
humanity to man, so common that not
a few men and women go through life
