place where James Mcnamara lives
and the plough turned up the following
articles: One pair gold bowed specta-
cles IN case, one clinical thermometer
With silver chain in case, diamond glass
cutter, shaving mug. shaving brush. a
razor in case. tooth brush jar of
cold cream and some tooth powder,
also mans pipe in a case
Everything was of the best quality and

as if recently buried They were not
IN box, but all in a pile. Who can
solve this mystery?

REIGN Of TERROR
IN MEXICO CITY
HUNGER AND LACK OF WORK
CAUSE OF RloTlNG IN MEX
ICAN CAPITAL.
City Covered With Patrols 10 Dis
perse Gatherings Of Striking En-
ployees OF Electric Light and
Street Railway Companies.

III Paso, Texas.--Reports of social
discomfort in Mexico are contained In
a copy of El Nacional, Carranza or
gan of Mexico City. which reached
here Sunday II stated that last week
General Benjamin Hill, military com
mander OF the federal district. had
covered the city with patrols to dis
perse gatherings of striking employees
of the electric lighting and street rail
way company II added that several
shots had been fred and that small
riots had resulted.
According TO the paper, Carranza
met representatives of the Federation
of Syndicates. the organization be
hind the strike and informed them
that in his opinion their action in
striking was unpatriotic. Social dis
content in Mexico was attributed to
the influence of socialist labor agen-
cies." Arrivals in El Paso from the
capital, however, said that the food
scarcity and lack of opportunity for
work are important factors.

GREECE MAY Be
FORCED INTO WAR
EXPECTED RETURN OF vENlZE.
LOS TO POWER MAY CAUSE
KING TO A5DlcATE.
Rumored That Venizelos and His Fol-
lowers Are Placing orders for
Necessary Munitions and Arma-
ments for Greek Army.

Athens.-lt Is becoming more and
more a general belief here that
Greece may yet be forced into the
world war now in progress.
THE trouble in Greece is not over"
said a neutral diplomat in an inter
view on Thursday. "As a matter of
fact 1t is only Just beginning. King
Constantine cannot logically accept
the elections calmly, for the indica.
tons are the elections mean the re-
turn of Venizelos. And Venizelos is
determined to make 1t impossible for
all time to come for the sovereign in
Greece ever to take the reins OF pow
Cretan has 20 change the Greek con
stitution to do it. For King Constan-
tine to accept this is equivalent to alb
dication-and | believe he will actual.
ly abdicate before he will do it.
What is a still bitterer pill for the
king to swallow Is that the return Of
Venizelos would in all probability
mean the entry of Greece into the
European war on Lie side OF the en-
tente allies. They say that Venizelos
and his followers are already placing
orders for the necessary munitions ant
armament for the Greek army in that
event. Can you see Constantine
leading his men against the forces o.
his brother.in-law, the kaiser, while
Venizelos, whom he regards as hi.
arch-enemy. governs the country II
the royal name?
Considering the attitude OF tn,
king up to now. 1t seems only logica
that he must resist by every possible
means the return OF Venizelos L
power and all that return entails
After all, the king has put himself IL
the position of the leader OF politi
cal party, and If he loses he may fine
that the sole consistent course to fol
low is that incumbent on poHtica
leader who has lost-retire to private

New York.-A general strike on vir.

The controversy was laid before the

The final break came late Sunday
after the men had been in secret

GAINS MARKING OPERATIONS
IN THREE REGIONS.
British Push Line Forward Nearly

London. - Hard fighting in the
Somme region of France, in Galicia
and in the Italian theatre, with fur
Their gains for the entente allies in
all three regions, marked the opera
lions of Saturday night and Sunday.
Northwest of Pozieres, north of the
Somme, the British made an advance
of from 300 to 400 yards over front
nearly a mile wide against the Ger
mans and also captured trenches on
the plateau northwest of Bazentin-le-
Petit, while the French. southwest of
Maurepas, gained further foothold
on the slopes of hill 1903.
Between Thiepval and the Somme
Saturday night, according to Berlin,
assaults by the entente allies broke
down with heavy casualties to the at
tackers. The fighting near Hem and
Maurepas continued throughout the
entire night and into Sunday, the men
repeatedly coming to grips in hand
to-hand encounters.
On the Bystritza sector and near
Monasterzyska, however, Berlin says
the Russians have been thrown back
at several places by the counterat-
lacks of the Teutonic allies.
The Duke of Aosta is keeping up
his strong offensive against the Aus
TRANS in the Isonzo region, having
driven them from fortified positions
in the Monfalcone and Gorilla sectors
and taken prisoner more than 1000
additional men.
Constantinople reports that the
Turks east OF the Suez canal have
turned against the British and com.

losses. The London war office, how
ever, disputes this statement, assert

in pursuit of the Turkish rear guard

driven back to a position east of Birs-
El-Manes.
After a long period of inactivity
the British along the Euphrates In
Mesopotamia attempted an advance
against the Turks, but retreated
after two hours fighting. Further ad.
vances for the Turks against the Rus
