to be chloroformed when they reach
the age of sixty" asked the student Of

Certainly not" answered the misan-
thropic person. BY the time people
are sixty years old they have done
about all the devilment they can do

Anent the discussion that has been

crying and discouraging the custom of

entitled to the prefix.
Thus the lawyers Of the state put
themselves on record as not wanting

1t takes hundred men to make an
'encampment, but it takes only the in.
fiuence of one woman to make home.
] do not only admire woman as the
most beautiful object ever created, but
reverence her as the redeemed glory
of humanity, the sanctuary of all vir-
tues, the pledge of all perfect qualities
of heart and head. 1t is because won
en- are so much better than men that
their faults are considered greater. The
one thing in this world that is con-
s'dered constant, the only peak that
rises above the clouds the one star that
darkness cannot quench, is woman s
love. 1t rises to the greatest height.
it sinks to the lowest depths, it for
gives the most cruel injuries. A wom-
ar's love is the perfume of the heart.
This is the real love that subdues the
earth; the love that has wrought mir
acles of art; that gives us music all
the way from the cradle song to the
grand symphony that bears the soul
away on wings of fire. A love that is
greater than power, sweeter than life
and stronger than death.-Robert G.
Ingersoll.

AUSTRIA REPORTS
 SIGNAL SUCCESSES
British Claim Defeat of Turks Near Alden; Russians Re- sume Westward March.

LONDON. March 1S.-The German offensive in the Verdun region has slackened decidedly. Both Paris and Berlin report absence of infantry op- erations Numerous raids by French aviators are reported by Paris. includ- ing the bombardment of the Confians and Metz railroad stations. Many fires and explosions were caused.
 Austria took the offensive and Vien- ma announced successful attack on the north Tolmino Bridgehead and cap ture of 500 prisoners and three ma chine guns.
 Artillery in the vicinity of Verdun is pounding intermittently but the chief activity appears to be among the airmen. There is sporadic fighting in Russia although there are signs of preparations for important movements particularly in the north. The British report the defeat of Turkish troops near Alden. Arabia. Announcement is made that the Dutch steamer Palem- bang was torpedoed and the crew saved.
 PETROGRAD, March IS. - After three weeks of suspended activity the Russian forces beyond Erzerum which are awaiting developments of opera tions in the Black Sea and Lake Van region to make their flank secure a. gainst possible attack. again resumed their westward march toward Sivas Although the advance is yielding a growing number of, prisoners there is no reason to suppose the Turks have begun yet to offer serious resistance to their pursuers.
 A large number of prisoners account ed for the growing discontent of con ditions in the Turkish army which has resulted in the disposition of the sol diers to surrender. A high percentage of officers are among the prisoners and some say they were unable to tol- crate German control of the army.

ONE RAILROAD AVAILABLE.

FL PASO, March 1S.-Only one of the two Mexican railroads penetrat- ing the territory where the American punitive expedition is operating. is in shape to serve the Americans, if such permission is granted by Carranza. Railroad men said that within two or three days the Mexican National should be able to assemble sufficient rolling stock to care for the United States troops needs.
 Both roads have terminals at Juar- ez but Villa, by burning a bridge on the Mexican Northwestern line at COrraIitos, effectively cut cOmmunica- tion on that line. and it would require two weeks to reconstruct the bridge after the materials had been shipped.

State and War Departments Hear Good Wotd from Both U. s. Expedition and From Interior of Mexico.

WASHINGTON. March lS.-Reas- surfing advices came from both the State and war departments from Mexi- co. Official reports indicated the American troops had not encountered the Villistas, though it was indicated a brush might be expected soon Con sular dispatches say it is quiet else where in Mexico
 Funston's request that the Ameri can forces be permitted to use the Mexican railway for the troops trans portation was forwarded to Consular
 Agent Rogers for presentation to CarranZa.
 Officials are understood to believe that Carranza will be strongly advised against the granting of the request on the ground that it might arouse sentiment against the de facto govern ment.
 The dispatch from Funston said Per shing had reported finding a supply of corn. alfalfa. and beef at an unarmed point i Mexico Whether the pro visions were abandoned by Villa or purchased or =equisitioned is unstated. ,Pershing asked for water carrying trucks and General Scott announced twenty-seven had been ordered for warded as soon as possible.

PHASE IF PUNITIVE DRIVE NOW
 FINISHED
Mormon Colonies of the State of Chihuahua Are Reached by the American Forces Un- der Pershing.
NOT A SHOT HAS
 YET BEEN FIRED
Changes in Plans May be Forced if Bandit Leader Re- fuses to be Invited into Fight with the Americans.

FL PASO. March 1S.-The first phase of the American expedition 10 Mexico. in its rush along Villas dim trail to the endangered Mormon col onies is an accomplished fact tonight and accomplished without firing hostile shot by the Americans The second phase is already beginning, it was indicated. as the Americans have turned somewhere from Casas Gran- des to resume night marches toward the rough mountain slopes where Villa has already preceded with a start of one hundred miles There is a warning that this will not be accomplished without fighting with bandits. It is implied new and more stringent censorship at Colum- bus has been established.
 There was brief excitement today at Columbus when two soldiers on stretchers were brought into camp. One was thrown from horse and the other had stomach trouble. When Washington announced the American column did not intend to occupy the cities, menace 10 Mexican pride was removed
 The American troops did not enter Casas Grandes last night and this morning found them camped near ColOnia Dublan. Villa is located. wilh some degree Of dehniteness. in west ern Chihuahua. nearly due south of the American columns
 All accounts say Villa is 100 miles ahead of the Americal soldiers. The Americans are nearing the ground over which Villa recently passed where they will have an opportunity to test the temper of the rural Iexi- cans from whom they might receive valuable information.
 The story that Villa is gathering men and is preparing to resist vas revived in cOnstitutiOnalist circles. He is even said to have ten million rounds of cartridges and shells, many of home manufacturers secreted in the mountains where he is expected to make a stand.
 Mexican Consul Garcia doubted the report and claimed that Villa intends to make the expedition a joke. ''I am convinced Villa intends to play hide and seek with the Americans. He will never risk real battle News of the rewards will flash through the country. l will be surprised if they do not bring results"
 Garcia denied that the people of Guerrero and Galena were in sympa- thy with Villa. Many are afraid of him because of the raign of terror he has inausurated. but it must be re- membered that Villa of today is not the Villa of five years ago"

PLANS MAY CHANGE.

SAN ANTONIO. March 1S-Failurs by Villa to make a stand and fight be- fore the end of next week. will rad ically alter the methods employed so far by the commander Of the punitive expedition. PerShins's plan is not re- vealed and will not be if Funston can prevent it. Every effort will be made 10 keep the troops movements secret. Pershins's scouts may have brought him information on Villas location but such as were received at general headquarters here makes any assertion little better reason 10 be- lieve that Villa has retreated as the Americans advanced and that he is somewhere in the Galena district. south of Casas Grandes Most of the reports place him from sixty to one hundred miles south of Casss Gran deS in the mountains.
 When Pershing started the junction of troops which has taken place at Casas Grandes. was planned without expectation that Villa would be sight ed before this time. It is realized the only chance to catch him at this stage was that he would gather his forces and resist the advance.
 According to Funston's reper not shot was fired at the invaders.

NO FEDERAL AID FOR
 ARIZONA TOWNS FROM
 MAJOR GEN. FUNSTON
Commanding Officer Wires Sheriff Wheeler that Local Officers and State Guard Will Have to be Looked to.

TOMBSTONE. March 1S-(SpeciaO There will be no federal aid to the towns of Cochise county except those immediately exposed to raids from Mexico. according 10 the mcssaee that was received by Sheriff Wheeler this morning in reply to the one that he sent to General Funston on Thurs day. The telegram received this morning reads as follows:
 Sheriff Harry Wheeler.
 Tombstone. Ariz.
 Replying to your telegram of the sixteenth. the department commender directs me to inform you that il is impossible to furnish guards from federal troops to all towns in New Mexico and Arizona that have asked for them. No less then twenty towns have requested guards. You can therefore see that federal troops would be scattered across these two states and would not be available for any concentrated action. The only points that have been given guards are those that were in imminent danger of raids by hostile forces from across the border. All towns that think themselves in danger of local uprising much depend upon their local authorities first and upon state authorities next to give them protec- tion. Federal troops cannot be sent until after national guards of state shall have exhausted it's efforts.
