WILL SEEK PAVED WAY
ROUTE TO SOUTH BEND

South Bends fight for the paved
highway from Detroit to Chicago
will be made by A., V. Weigel, bus
mess manager of the Chamber of
Commerce at a meeting of the di-
rectors Of the proposed highway
association at Battle Creek Friday
afternoon. This city is lined up
with Dowagiac and Niles TO secure
the route instead of putting it
through Benton Harbor and ST. Jo-
seph and around the southern end
OF Lake Michigan.
Fridays meeting Is for the pur-
pose OF hearing the arguments of
both sides. Both Niles and DOwa-
yiac are sending large delegations to
Battle Greek and these men will
combine their arguments with Mr..
WeigeTs. 1t viii be pointed out by
the -Dowagiac- South Bend sup
porters that this would be the logical
route. since the road could connect
here with the Lincoln and Dixie
highways.
The route of the proposed road
from Detroit to Battle Greek has
been definitely decided upon. The
St. Joseph and Benton Harbor dele
cations will argue for the West
Michigan pike, which has been in
operation for some time. This route
leads directly through the twin cities.
Mr. We:gel will go TO Battle Creek
from Toledo, where he went Thurs
day TO attempt to land the 1913
tournament of the American Bowling
Congress.

RIOT OF COLOR AND
UNUSUAL DECORATIVE
SCHEME AT OPENING

With a touch OF dainty pastel
shades here. a riot Of gay sport coIors
there, and an unusual decorative
scheme running through all. the Wy
man store opening Thursday was
very beautiful. Suspended from the
ceiling on rings wound with smilax
swung large paraquets Of painted
wood in c0lors blending with the
schemes Of the various departments.
On the second floor where the gar
ment and millinery departments at
tracted the majority Of shoppers,
the daintiest Of schemes was main
tanned. The tables on which ex-
quisite blouses OF radium lace.
Georgette crepe and taffeta. and lin
gerie in delicate shades Of wash
able satin and crepe de chine were
displayed, were covered with dainty
shades OF crepe paper TO blend with
each lovely bit OF feminine wear. A
profusion Of smilax and Ward roses
completed the scheme.
To the ready-to-wear department
new special sections for dresses and
l..
cases. handsome revolving ward
robes and alcove mirrors have been
Installed. One Of the most attractive
lines here shown comprised the
sport clothes. the gay skirts of bright
greens. rich reds and bright plaids,
and the charming coats of Italian
silk. To match there in the millin-
cry department were chic sport
hats of imported cloths, striped
ratines. canvas, cretonne and Jersey
silk. Many were shown with heavy
ribbed parasols TO match. One
specially stunning set was a small
hat covered with wide black and
white striped jersey silk with
parasol having a striped center and
a wide black border. Another which
elected much comment was a stun
ming auto set, consisting Of a sailor,
a bag and a quaint cushion all
made of an imported material re-
sembling canvas or a very heavy
cretonne in tan and blue stripe with
here and there a conventional figure
in rose applied with buttOnhole
stitch in black.
Gray, old rose, black and blue
seem TO be the favored colors as far
as hats are concerned. For dress,
leghorns are being used extensively
with flower trims. Laces and lacy
straws make up the daintiest crea-
lions. As to size, they vary from
large sailors to the small tight-f1t-
ting hat. Some Of the most charm
ing millinery models as we'll as silk
gowns and suits were shown In the
artistically arranged windows

VILLA s MEN QUIT
DECLARES WRITER
Gen. Hay, in Letter to Student
Says Bandits Volunteers
Are DESERVING.

Interest in the Mexicans at tthe
University OF Notre Dame was again
aroused last night when two letters
came direct from the front one
from Cen. EdwardO Hay q graduate
from the engineering department at
the university in 1910. The letter
was sent 10 his brother-in-law. En-
rique sails Of Walsh hall.
Gen. Hay left Notre Dame for the
firing line Immediately after grad
uation In June of 1910 and has been
with the forces ever since. he was
appointed general under Madero and
afterwards with Carranza, when he
resigned a few weeks ago he became
the minister OF war. In his letter
last night ne stated that he intended
to leave Mexico in a few days, Civ

war. for that Of minister 90 Spain

Carranza they will not follow him
from the Spanish shows the attitude
Of the people towards the United
States. The local Mexicans claim
that Villa has been trying 10 teach
the people that the United States is
trying TO gain control Of Mexico.
Now that the truth Of the matter is
coming out the Mexicans look at the
matter In a different light.
Deny Zapata VIII Aid.
The statement tha' Zapata may
aid villa is emphatically denied by
the AIexicans and they claim that If
villa ever falls into the hands Of
zapata ne will loose his head, since
he failed to help Zapata when the
latter half Of his army was fighting
Huerta.
The facts concerning the raid on
CcIunb bus as Carranza has learned
them are unknown to American
people. the letter continues, but
does not say what they are. further
than that many Americans were
killed and many Of the women badly
treated. Communications with the
outside world has not yet been cut
of from Villa, according to Carran-
za's men at the front and he is kept
aware Of the movements of the
Americans. Carranza's generals
know just where Villa is but are
unable to corner him because Of the
difficulties encountered in passing
through the hilly country in which
he IS fleeing In fact Carranza and
all his advisers, including Gen. Ed
