TENSION Is RELIEVED
BY CARRANzA ATTITUDE
Cooperation in Villa Expedition Re-
assures President and Members
Of Administration.

Washington, d c., March 16 -
With American troops across the
Mexican border Wednesday night
seeking villa and his bandits. Presi-
dent Wilson and officials of the war
department resigned themselves to
wait, possibly many days. for news Of
development in the chase.
Information that forces OF the de
facto Mexican government were CO.
operating with the expedition from
the United States served to relieve
tense anxiety that had been appar-
ent on all sides over the possibility
Of Carranza troops revolving against
their commanders and attempting to
oppose the entry OF the Americans.
Reports told Of Gen. Obregon, Car
ranza's new secretary Of war and
chief military leader ordering Gen.
Gavira, commander of the Juarez gar
rison to cooperate in every way with
the United States forces. This was ac-
cepted as convincing proof of the at
titude of the Carranza government.
While apparently there has been no
formal discussion of what shall be
done with Villa, IL he is captured. it
Is regarded as probable that II taken
alive the bandit leader will be turned
over to the de facto government for
prompt execution.
carranza Enters Pact.
Washington. March 14.--President
Wilson yesterday accepted with mod
ifications the proposal Of the Mexican
government for reciprocal privileges
in the pursuit Of outlaws across the
borders of the two countries.
Gen. Carranza was so informed in
a note telegraphed to United States
Consul Silliman in reply to the re-
quest transmitted by Jesus Acuna,
Mexican foreign minister, on Friday.
Accompanying the note to Carranza
was a statement by Secretary Lans-
ing that under no circumstances will
the expedition into Mexico to "get
Villa" be- permitted to develop into
Intervention"
The message to Carranza and the
accompanying statement were for
warded immediately to Gen. Funston.
This action was intended to give
Funston notification that the diplo-
matte obstacles to his expedition had
been overcome and that he was free
to launch 1t at once.

after MANY DAYS
Roy COpe's AID Put Out in the
Year 1897
Brings Letter of Inquiry From
Milan, Italy.

1t took a long time to do it but ad-
vertising done by Roy T. Cope of To-
peka back in 1907 brought results this
week and brought them from across
the Atlantic at that. The trouble is
that the results were so long in COM
ing that Mr.. Cope has gone out of the
business for which he was advertising.
Mr.. Cope received a letter this week
from Milan, Italy, written by one
Arturo KotZian. inquiring about
pamphlet Mr. Cope issued in 1907 con-
tanning instructions on How to Breed
Ferrets." How the Italian got hold of
information about Mr.. Cope's PAM
phlet is more than Mr.. Cope can
figure out. For a time the Topekan
raised ferrets and shipped them here
and there over the country. Some of
them even went outside the country
but he quit the business long ago.
81 had almost forgotten 1 was ever
in the ferret business until 1 received
this letter." said Mr.. Cope.
While the receipt or the letter is
peculiar under the circumstances it is
less peculiar than the facts disclosed
by some of the circulars enclosed This
man Arturo Kotzian appears to be
some" animal dealer. sd
Besides selling and shipping giant
European tOads he advertises such
staple and fancy articles as fireflies,
lightning bugs, singing crickets, silk
worms, SILK moths, land scorpions and
fresh water crabs.
But that's not half his line. Here
are some of the choice features of his
collection: Dried caterpillar chrys-
alises, young live naked caterpillars-
think of it, a naked caterpillar-eggs
for rearing live naked caterpillars, and
giant waterbeetles.
Mr.. KotZian is properly equipped to
get the dollar coming and going. Not
only does he sell insect eggs, young
insects and adult ihsecJs and insec-
tivorous animals but he sells food for
insects and insectivorous animals. In
other words he sells food for insects
which serve as food for animals be-
sides selling the insects and the ami
mails and the food for each of them.
Aw, what's the use? He has a corner
on the lightning bug, naked caterpillar
and giant toad market any way you
want to look at it.
The particular purpose this italian
captain of industry had in writing to
Mr.. Cope was to learn whether or not
Mr.. Cole was prepared to trade his
| ferrets for giant waterbeetles. cater
pillar eggs or a scorpio buthus oc-
cinatus in a wire cage.

glo-French Loan.
One of the most important events
in the financial history of 191 ; was the
great Anglo-French half-billion dollar
loan. In the middle of the year a
commission of English and French
financiers headed by Lord Reading,
lord chief justice of England, came to
this country to raise war funds. A
committee of prominent American
bankers was formed, dominated by ].
P. Morgan & Co, fiscal agents for the
allies in the United States and after
many conferences the amount and
terms of the big war loan were fixed.
1t was for S500.00G,0O0 with interest
at per cent year, to be sold to the
public at SO, which gave almost 6 per
cent of a return to the investor. After
the details were arranged. a syndicate
of American bankers was formed
which agreed to hold its bonds from
the public market for sixty days. On
December Is, this syndicate expired
and the bonds, having been publicly
listed on the New York Stock eX-
change, were publicly traded in. They
went as low as 50 Is, but when bought
at their low price meant even a higher
interest than per cent. Less than
5000, 900, 900 of the half-billion loan
was put on the open market, bankers
and bond houses which were members
of the syndicate, Withdrawing over
$500, 10000 of the entire issue.
Financiers who have watched the
remarkable course of events in the
last year. predict that 1915 will see
even greater expansion in both the
/ financial and industrial life of this
country.

best of it.
1 have in mind a couple who grew
old together. Deafness and failing
sight compelled the man to sell his
store and retire. He had been active
in business for fifty years and didn't
know what to do with his time. L
have seen him many times walking
back and forth in front of the post
office impatiently waiting for a de-
layed train to bring his daily paper.
1 believe he was glad when the end
came.
The years had not been especially
kind to his wife. rheumatism and
deafness had made her all but help
less but no one had ever told her that
she was useless in the world. She still
felt that she was keeping house and
that if she didn't oversee the setting
of the bread, the entire batch would
be ruined.

Sunny Love of Italy Snaps
Fingers in Mars's Face.
Latin Soldiers Spend Christmas
in Steam Heated Trenches.
FOR SOME MOTHERS BOY
Aged Woman's Son Killed at
Col Di Lana; Sends Sweets.
Poisoned Tobacco Only Crimp
in Soldiers Joy.

Rome, Jan. S.-Italy's boys in the
trenches had a royal Christmas. Best
of all their Christmas gifts was
Christmas dinner in steam heated
trenches. With their modern trench
improvements they had the best of
it over some of the girls they left
behind them. For sunny Italy has
the coolest interiors and the poorest
heating facilities in all the world. In
the trenches, however, up where the
snow is heavy and the rains are freez-
ing in the mountains, the steam
heated trenches are driving away the
terrorS of a winner campaign.
The sending of gifts to soldiers at
the front was one of the most couch
ing of all Christmas activities. Every
one wanted to send something. A
poorly clad woman entered one of the
stations where special boxes of sweets,
ready for sending to soldiers, were on
sale. She had only sixteen soldl. The
boxes We're one franc fifty.
'Ill buy something" she said. 1--WE
no one at the front now. My boys
fallen at Col di Lana but 1 want TO
send some little comfort to some other
mothers boy" She bought a small
package of sweets for sixteen cents
and some mothers boy must have felt
different quality in that dearly pur
chased remembrance.
The order that chocolate and sweets
could not be sent privately to soldiers
at the front caused such a wall that
parliament decided to change the or
der. The order had been given be-
cause of the fear that poisoned sweets
from suspicious and concealed quar-
tiers might reach the soldiers. Enough
evidence had come to the ears of the
authorities to warrant this action. 1t
was this same fear that resulted in the
public cigar and cigaret collection
stations being abandoned. The OPP
portunity for enemies sending pois-
oned cigars or cigarets offered too
| strong a temptation to evil minds.
| The discovery of poisoned tobacco
| brought the decisive order. Thousands
of cigars were destroyed and the order
was that thenceforth only money
would be accepted to buy cigars from
the government supply stores.
At Christmas time the bars were
| down for chocolate and sweets. In
| the face of Christmas sentiment,
voiced by mothers and sweethearts,
wives and children, law and precau-
/ ton stepped aside. And the rush of
/ bundles of candy and chocolate, of to-
bacco and all sorts OF presents, has
appalled, the postal clerks.

believe, in selecting a life work.
one should try and choose an occupa-
ton in which he may die in the har-
ness. Railroading is a poor game
you are not wanted after sixty. The
same of so many other walks in life.
But a newspaper man can die in the
harness. He can, eventually, run a
country weekly and be Justice of the
peace. A physician or lawyer, as the
years come on, can lay aside the hard
work of active practice, and still find
comfort and companionship in the
office.
But to so many men, life is striv-
ing and a striving-then the long
years to sit in the sun and await the
end. l know an old man who in the
