In some places in Nebraska II would
seem that the school teachers are
ashamed of the stars ana stripes. ana
that some Of them. fearing TO offend
somebody, decorate their school rooms
with the nags OF all nations.
"One school board has gone so far
as to CONSIDER the expense OF an Amerf-
can nag too high. and II has gone un-
purchased" he said. Nebraska schools
are not teaching patriotism properly"
Inspector Moritz criticised parochial

Carranza Consul Garcia stated today
that neither he nor General Gavira. In
Juarez, had any official confirmation
of the recovery or Identification of
Villas body. In any event. Garcia said,
the Identification would be difficult on
account of the length of time the body
reported Villas was buried, and owing
to the character of the disease from
which lie is reported to have died.
