marrying?

girl for some time and she is a dear
friend to me. Do you think that |
should give her up or chum with her
against my parents wishes?
% Not if you are Is or more.
~ You are cousins
81 Cousins may marry in some
states. But unless you love each
other so much that you cannot pos
sibIy live without each other you
should not consider marriage In
view of the fact that it has been shown
many times that such marriages
bring about terrible results, it is GER
tainly unwise.

of an international court of arbitra- tion.
 Germany is said to consider that neutral nations can have no interest in terms relating to territory. While there were no official views on the subject, the view still persisted in German quarters tonight that the note of the central powers might be followed by some highly confidential oral or written communication to President Wilson. in which at least broad tentative terms might be stated. In this connection officials noted with interest here. press dispatches saying that Ambassador Gerard as a result of his recent visit to the United States is thoroughly familiar with the views of President Wilson, had taken lunch with Alfred Zimmerman, the German foreign minister. and probably dis cussed the peace situation with him.

SAN LUIS P0TOSI
 STILL UNCAPTURED
 SAY CARRANCISTAS

LAREDO. Tex. Dec. 27.-Carranza troops clashed today with bandits or revolutionists near La Jarita, about thirty miles south of Nuevo Laredo, according to reports, but the outcome of the conflict and the number of men involved are not known. Surgeons and nurses were sent south from Nue- vo Laredo late today.
 No word officially could be obtained concerning the engagements. Villa sources in Laredo claimed to have tsen advised that six CarranZa sol diers had been killed. CarranZa ad- herents reported the killing of twelve bandits, without any casualties among the constitutionalist soldiers. Sever al bandits, or revolutionists, it was stated. had been captured and sum- marily executed. Military authorities in Nuevo Laredo tonight said they were in direct telegraphic communi- cation with San Luis POtosi and that there was no truth in the recently published reports that that city had fallen into Villas hands.
