DO NOT CREDIT REPORT
HE HAS BEEN TAKEN
Army Officers Do Not Believe
Rumor That Chief Is Being
Taken to Base at Casas
Grandes; Operations Will
Be Continued Against Flee
ing Forces to Prevent Their
Concentration

FL Paso, Texas, April 1.-The cap
ture of Francisco Villa by the nying
squadrons of American cavalry
is believed by army officers at Fort
Bliss to be only a question of days.
His forces scattered into small
lands after their smashing defeat on
Wednesday by forces led by Colonel
Dodd, Villa is reported to-day to have
sought safety in hiding in some re
cesses of the continental divide. Tho
bandits injured leg, said to have been
broken by gunshot wound, or falI
from a horse, will doubtless proven.
him from making any long fight ovcr
the rugged mountains.
Reported Captured
That Villa already had been ca
tured and was being brought back iu
he army base at Casas Grandes, Wa
report heard here to-day but it Wa
o credited in official quarter
'e.<ican Consul Andres Garcia had mo-
Nord of any further engagements hc
tween the American troops and Wiz
forces.
General Pershing will continue hi
operations against the fleeing bands OF
Villa men to prevent their concentra
ion and to destroy them.
The fact that three days have
elapsed since the smashing blow de
livered at the Villa band in the valles
of Santa Mara, without. any furthcr
news from General Pershing, has
given birth to the most eXtravagant
speculation and rumors.
The chief argument of time is thai
If Villa was as desperately injured
as reported he should be by now in
the hanis of his pursuers. But Others
retort by pointing out the wi.d
character of the country in which ne
is hiding and the fact that most OF
the natives of the mountains are sure
to do all they can to battle the Amer-
lean soldiers by giving them false in
formation.
All Depends OH Speed
Everything apparently depeho7
upon the speed with which villa IS
able to move. If his injuries have
forced him to seek safety in the noun
tains OF the divide. it is believed tha'
he cannot escape capture although nc
may elude his enemies for many Gays
vet. On the other hands, II ne mas
been able to push east or southeast ne
ought by this time TO have reached a
country where travelling is cont
paratively easy, water and food pleil''
full and his adherents numerous.
The one thing that seems reason
ably certain is that before the CIos'
of to-day or tomorrow at tne ,,.i,I Ialss,
it must be definitely known If Hllla ls

Rauues for the Wounded.

Those people whose curiosity leads
them to study the many badges of
rank which now decorate the sleeves
of officers and men of the allied armies
have been puzzled by the appearance
of new badge in the French army.
French soldiers on leave in England
may be seen wearing narrow stripes on
the arm above the elbow and ordinary
people have been unable to understand
why some of the rank and file have
been able to sport even more of these
decorations than officers of high rank.
The explanation is simple. Every stripe
means wounded once. The French
government has inaugurated scheme
by which every soldier is entitled to
wear one for every time he has been
wounded.
Some men have already won several
such stripes and the other day one
man in London was the proud wearer

TRAINING TODAYS
BOYS AND GIRLS
How the Infant May Be Started in
the Ways of Culture.
ART, LITERATURE AND MUSIC
Let the Child Know All He Can of
These If You Would Refine His
Appreciation and Discover
His Capacity.
By sIDoNlE M. GUTENBERG.

GONE time during the last century
- parents with solicitude for the high
er life of their children, and with the
means to give the children fuller OPP
portunities, discovered that training
in the "arts" would add both to the en-
joyment of life and to the esteem of
their fellows. But in providing the in
struction in music or painting they had
resort to musicians and painters. And
these specialists in art taught the chill
dren from the point of view of training
specialized performers, which most of
the children were never going to be-
come The result was in most cases
q rather superficial accomplishment,
which had, indeed, it's social value, but
which meant very little either as per-
Torrance or as enrichment of life.
Several things have happened to
make us change our attitude in these
matters. With all the bad performing,
extending to ever larger circles OF our
population, there came a more critical
recognition of the real quality of our
vulgarized playing and painting. There
came also, quite incidentally as it
were, a growing appreciation of the
arts-the mechanical reproduction of
good music and of good pictures being
very largely responsible for this, in
making accessible to almost every per-
son the opportunity to hear and see the
best as well as the tawdry. Moreover,
tel, hn,, ha 1nuaInnnnont of
the mental and emotional life, as prob
| lens in education and training, has
brought us to realization of the more
valuable part of the child's contact
| with art forms.
| We are thus in a position to look
upon the arts in the life of the child
in terms of enlarging the child's life,
and not in terms of perform
| ing for the approval or admiration
| Of others. And we are in position to
| think of the training from the profess
sional side. If then we still place be-
brush, the piano or the violin, it is not
so much in the hope of making name
| for the family Rather is it in the ex-
pectation that the child may thus be
enabled to find himself, that he may
acquire further means Of expression,
that he may add to his enjoyment of
life through acquaintance with the
emotional resources of the various
arts. For most children, that is, the
study of music and drawing should be
not primarily for the purpose of culti-
waiting technical proficiency, but for
the purpose of cultivating deeper APP
precautions through an understanding
of form, design, etc. This is quite the
same as our teaching of literature to
children. Some of them may become
creative artists-and this often in spite
of the schooling-but for most children
we hope merely to increase and to re-
fine the appreciation of good litera-
ture.
Both for the purpose of refining the
appreciation and for the purpose of

the steel helmet. The British follow

CRAB WAS FIRST VEGETARIAN
Eccentric EngIishman Met With Much
Opposition When He Started to
Spread His Ideas.

The first preacher of vegetarianism
to gain any wide fame was Roger Grab,
an eccentric Englishman, who died 236
years ago. He fought in the parlia-
mentary army under Cromwell, and re-
ceived wound in the head, which may
have accounted for some Of his later
vagaries. After the close of the Civil
war he sold all his goods and distrib-
uted the proceeds among the poor, then
took up his residence in a hut near
Ickenham, where he was said to have
lived on three farthings week. Hav-
ing decided that it was sinful to eat
any kind of animal food, he subsisted
on diet of bran, dock leaves, mallows
and grass.
For dessert he. had pudding made
of bran and turnip tops chopped to-
gether. When he attempted to spread
his ideas he met with much popular
opposition. He then denounced his OPP
ponents in most lurid terms, and was
on various occasions cudgeled and put
in the stocks. Four times he was ar
rested on suspicion of being a wizard,
and was sent from prison to prison.
He persisted in his course in spite of
Eli persecution, refusing to eat any
animal food while in Jail. He wrote
two pamphlets, entitled 'The, English
Hermit, or The Wonder of the Age, "
and "Dagon's DOWNFALL, or The Great
Idol Digged Up Root and Branch; 1.-THE
English Hermit's Spade at the Ground
and Root of Idolatry." Crab lived to
ripe old age, but made few converts to
his doctrine.-Exchange.

purpose is the teachers character, his
attitude toward children. We may in
deed find talented artist who is also
a satisfactory teachers but the combi-
nation is extremely Eare. The ac-
complished artist is likely to see in
the pupil potential performer or Gre
ator, and to have little patience when
the symptoms of taleLt are slow to
manifest themselves. When talent is
discovered it will be time enough to
train for specialization.
Whether we provide special instruc-
least put forth an effort to make the
surroundings in the home contribute as
much as possible to the cultivation, of
taste. This requires an effort, but is
worth what it costs. Unless we have
well-developed tastes and standards
ourselves we are very easily imposed
upon by the fashions" and by the
tendency to initiate, often unconscious
ly, those for whom we have some re-
gard. If we devote some thought to
the children's dress and to the way
our rooms are furnished, we shall be
carrying on an education in art. This
does not mean that we must buy only
the expensive or the fashionable. 1t
means taking the trouble to find out
what is best. It, is possible to get
cheap reproductions of the best pic
lures, just as we can get cheap edi-
tons of the worlds best books. In the
matter of pictures, it is well to have
before the child only few at a time,
and to change them at intervals. For
this purpose frames with removable
