Republican A. p. Leased WIrel


Ell PASO Aug. 5.-Mariano Tames,
formerly a colonel of The Villa army.
leading about 100 men, is making his
way south and west from the border
tonight in an attempt to join Villa
in the Mapima district, according to
reports here. Tames, who started

garrison, was joined by SO men on the
outskirts of the town and by a score
more from the garrison at Samalayu-
ca, thirty miles south, the reports
said. Pursuing him is a column of
700 dispatched by General Francisco
Gonzales, commanding the Carranza
army Of northern Chihuahua. with
orders to bring back the bodies of
the revolutionists.
In some quarters here there was a
tendency to connect the Tames up
rising with the reported revolt Of
General Luis Madina Barron, former
federal leader and defender of Tor
reon against Villista attacks and the
200 men of his command in the state
of Guerrero on the Mexican west
coast. In military circles. however, il

entirely separate.

Preside, August 5.-Military au-

stated that there was no foundation to
the report that four members of the
United States signal corps were fired
on by snipers yesterday about half way

This report had been carried to Maria,

IN CASE OF WAR.

ieT1 HE following from the Chicago Tribune Is worthy
OF the careful consideration Of every voter, and
shows that real preparedness is needed in this
country. Unpreparedness for war will not war, and we
may be thankful that trouble with Mexico has brought
TO light this countrys unprepared condition rather than
trouble with a greater power in the world. The Mexican
crisis should be a lasting lesson to the American people
and TO the peace at any price adherents.
"At any time events may take the euphemism out Of
our official conception of what has been done in Mexico
and give. us as a reality a war. In that case the sins Of
two governments will be visited upon two peoples.
