MEXICO PAPERS
ASK READERST0
REMAIN CALM

San Antonio Texas, March 22.-The
greater part of the Mexican newspapers
that have reached here have counseed
their readers to remain calm and have
refrained from criticism of the United
States for sending troops into Mexico.
One of the exceptions Was FL Democratic,
published in Chihuahua. Under the cap
ton THE Crown of Treason it attacked
Villa for attacking Columbus, but con-
tinued:
I'VE condemn and protest in the most
energetic manner against the interruption
of the Yankees over into our territory,
for although they may consider Villa as
political personality and national rep
resentative they cannot in any manner
consider his assault on Columbus ~ NJ.
as an offence of one nation against an
other. and on the account the passage
of American troops over the boundary
line cannot have any justification and
should be taken as an act of violence, or
If preferred, as an act of Wilsonian ner-
vousness."
FL Democratic added that the good rela-
tions existing between the constitutional
government and the White House should
not be sundercd and war declared @until
all the formalites of right which precede
such declaration shall have been gone

LEGEND OF THE VAMPIRE.
Queer Beliefs That Cling About This
Old World Superstition.


The vampire. according to the belief
Of eastern Europe. is the physical body
Of a dead person, male or female, that
maintains itself In a sort Of half life In
the grave by returning b its former
haunts and nourishing itself on tho
blood of living persons. This supersh-
ton is Enthusiastically Slavonic.
The vampire superstition Is strongest
in White Russia and the Ukraine.
though it also pervades the popular BE-
lief in Poland and Servia, among the
Czechs Of Bohemia and the Slovaks Of
Hungary and Is to be traced as far as
Albania and Greece. Comparative phi
lology proves 1t to have had a common
origin with the equally hideous legend
of the were wolf. human being who
could at will assume the appearance
and ferocity of a wolf. which II wound
ed in its nocturnal pursuits in the head
or limbs could not efface its injuries or
escape detection when it returned to
its human form.
The vampire is to be detected during
his visits to the haunts Of man by his
extreme pallor. his unnaturally long
and pointed canine teeth and his fetid
breath The vampire also throws no
shadow either upon the ground or on =
looking glass and is never seen to eat
or drink. How he leaves and re-enters
his grave is an undecided point. be-
cause no one is ever supposed to have
had the courage and address to see, but
the belief is that locked doors and
closed windows are no bar to his move
