morning within a few feet of several
Pullman cars in which American wo-
men and children refugees were sleep
ing.
Wales was known as VILLAS butch

exeoutionor on many occasions.
After he was awakened from sound
sleep on board the day coach which
brought him to Juarez. twenty Car.
rama soldiers led Wales to clump Of
cottonwood Trees near the tracks.
Captain Rebenio selected as the ex
ecutioner Of the bandit a soldier whose
brother Wales had executed without
orders.
The soldier placed his rifle close
TO Nalles' heart and fired. A number
OF newspaper men and Mexicans wit
nessed the execution.
The naked body Of Wales was placed
on exhibition beside that of General
Rodriguez. who was executed early
this week.
Thousands Of Americans and Mexi-
cans we're expected to view the corpse
during the day. The Carranza authori-
ties intend the exhibition of the body
to further evidence that the de facto
government is earnestly trying to wipe
out banditry.
The American colonists in Northern
Mexico are apparently confident CON
cerning the ability of the Carranza au-
thorities to protect them and they arc
not leaving the country as readily as
the state department desires. in spite
OF the warning that has been given to
them. The special trains that were
due to leave today were delayed by
the lack of refugees.

SALONIKA, Dec. 1l.-(By Mail.)--
We smashed up wagon load Of re-
fugees as we went aleng. 1t was one
of those pitiful cart loads Of house
hold goods, with an old woman and
baby sitting on the pile and the young
er and stronger members of the family
plodding along in the mud before or
alongside the two oxen. AS we turned
down the road the perplexed peasants
turned the oxen and headed for a
roadside ditch. The unusual sight Of
an automobile seemed to frenzy theri.
A woman and man struck the oxen
with sticks.
The wheels went down with crash
and everybody screamed. The old wo-
man held up the baby in her arms.
The body Of the wagon settled down
into the ditch. on its side. Gently the
old woman and the baby slid off into
the mud.
oign OF Retreat.
Beside the road was a camp OF
British engineers, and we saw them
ilocking by scores from their tents to
the scene of the household wreck. By
the time we had passed fifty or more
of these parties of refugees we knew
that somewhere ahead the retreat was
under way AS we went along tho
mountain roads in the French ambu-
lance we knew how comfortable a
wounded man might be in such car.
In addition to the spring of the pneu-
matte tires. there were the springs of
the car itself, The stretcher seats
on which we sat were huge steel bars.
which were suspended from the ceiling
of the car by spiral springs The mo-
tion of the ambulance, except for a
slight swaying was almost imper-
ceptible
Just when we were marveling at the
comfort with which we we're travelling
and comparing our situation with that
of the sad line of refugees, there wa;
terrific explosion at the roadside and

a tunnel through the air and through
this tunnel the echoes of the whistling
of the shell jar and clash and mix in

was leaving us. Through the ambu-
lance window we saw first cloud Of
smoke and then the outline of huge
gun. which stood at least eight feet
above the ground on giant wheels, and
had mouth that man could have
put his head into. The great cannon
stood within fifteen feet of the road,
but it was so cleyerly sheltered and
hidden by decoration of holly that we
had not seen it.

Not here" said our lieutenant guide.
"The Bulgars are across the valley. and
if we stop lorg enough to give them
our range they'll fire at us sure"
The road was cut along the face Of a
hill. Below us was the Valley of Cos
torino and four miles away. beyond the
valley. were other hills like ours, where
the Bulgar artillery was hidden.
Just quarter of mile further and
we reached the shelter of a turn in the
road. The huge English gun behind
us kept splitting out its roaring chal-
lenges across the valley. BY the watch

DRUG LAW WILL NOT
TOUCH OPIUM USERS
Harrison Act for Dealers Only,
Supreme Court Holds.

Washington, June 5.-The Supreme
Court to-day interpreted the Harrison
Federal drug act Of 1914, prohibiting
persons not registered under the law
10 have opium in their possession as
applying only 10 those who deal in the
drug and not to those who use il.
Government officials have declared
that this Interpretation Of the law
would ruin the effectiveness Of the
measure. Scores of proposed prosecu-
tions throughout the country had been
held up awaiting to-day's decision.
Justice Holmes, announcing the ma
jority opinion, said it would not do to
strain the powers OF the United States
almost, if not entirely, to the breaking
point 10 make it criminal for any per-
son in the United States to have opium
in his possession, unless under the
words of the statute all other inter
pretations were untenable.
Justices Hughes and Pitney dissented.
