HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

School has started again after ten
long days of vacation. There seems
to be no loophoe left to crowd in any
more vacations this school year. Five
more months of school until the real
vacations come. With this knowledge
the High School students have all en-
deavored to crowd into ten days a
whole 5 months worth of good times.
Some of them almost succeeded too.
All are ready, however, to start the
new year off with increased energy
and efficiency.
The year started out well, for on
New Years day the relay team of
Central Union High School won the
big relay cup at Holtville. This makes
the third consecutive time Central
has won the cup and, according to the
stipulations of the Holtville merchants
and the Feista committee, who put UP
the cup as trophy, is now the prop
erty of c. U. H. S.
The teams which have helped win
the cup for Central were as follows:

CARRANZISTAS ANNOUNCE
FALL OF CHIHUAHUA CITY
Refugees Tell of Horrible Scenes in the
State Capital, Now in Hands
of Villa.

Juarez, Tex, Dec. 1.-The remnant
of the Cara nzista army that fled from
chihuahua City after a battle with
Villa troops camped at night on the
plains soith of Juarez. The troops
brought with them the story of the
evacuation of the city after four days
and nights Of fighting. The dead were
piled high in the streets when they
left and had been covered with oil and
burned, they said.
They abandoned the city early on
the morning Of the fifth day, seeking
fight in all directions.
1t is believed by the refugees and
Carranza officers that General Trevino
left first for Tabaloapa, south of the
city, and from there moved to Albania,
about 20 miles from Chihuahua City,
Another report said the Carranza COM
mander was at Hacienda Dolores, west
of the city.
One Mexican civilian refugee de-
clared he had seen Francisco Villa in
the city Monday morning before the
train left. He said Villa was walking
without the aid of crutches as if to
inspire his men with his fortitude. His
mustache was shaved off and he look
ed much thinner than of old.
Nothing was known of the Ameri-
cans by these refugees.

UNITED STATES WARNS ALLIES
ASKS CONSIDERATION OF RE.
FUsAL ISSUE SAFE CONDUCT.
Notes Tell of International Right to
Exchange Observation-Disclosures
Envoy at Rotterdam.

Washington, Dec. I. - The United
States has sent notes to Great Britain
and France, requesting reconsidera-
tion by those governments Of their re-
fusal to issue safe conduct for Count
Tarnowski, the new Austro- Hungari
ambassador to this country, and speak
ing Of the unfortunate effect that a
continued refusal would have on opin-
ion here.
The notes point out that it is an
inalienable right Of sovereign nations
to exchange ambassadors and insist
that third nation, even in time of
war, is not justified in denying that
right.
Great care is taken to base the rep
reservations solely on the grounds of
international right as distinguished
from mere international courtesy, max
ing it clear that the United States is
neither asking a favor nor assuming
the attitude of a pleader.
1t was planned at first, when the
Eebuff was received, to drop the posi-
ton of mere messenger Of Austria and
making a formal demand in the name
of the United States.
It was decided, however, that it was
unnecessary to take this action at this
stage Of the negotiations, when it is
hoped that firm statement Of the
general principles Of international law
in the case will cause a reconsiaera-
ton by the Allies. If the present note
meets with an unsatisfactory response
it is admitted that very difficul. sit
uation will be developed.
Early replies to the American notes
are expected, owing to the fact that
Count Tarnowski is scheduled to sail
from Rotterdam December 16.
