ancient landmarks.
The President was accompanied by
Mrs. Wilson. Miss Margaret Wilson,
Mrs. Boiling, Mrs. Wilson's mother,
and several secret service men. There
was nothing ostentatious about the
party. and had someone not noticed
that the distinguished visitor was none
other than President Wilson, and
spread the news over the town, his
presence would have been known to
only few.
He visited first the site of the old
capital then Bruton Church, and tas,-
ly william and Mary College. He
motored through town and was shown
all the important historical spots. The
President spent considerable time in a
leisurely survey of the interior of Bru-

Mary Carnegie Library, and on COM
ing out was asked by the students to
make a speech. The President said

take some pictures of the President
and his party. were asked not to do SO
as 1t was Sunday. and the President
wanted his visit to be as modest as
possible.

iAanghorne's flying advance guard was
due to arrive this afternoon at
Sierra Blanca. nearly 90 miles south

Americans, who are led by Lieutenant
Colonel Natividad Alvarez, the bandit

captors of Jesse Deemer and Monroe

not known, but it is believed that 1t
numbers at 200 men.
II Deemer and Payne are alive,
negotiations will probably be attempt
ed for their release The slightest sign
tof reluctance on the part OF the
bandits to free their prisoners will
be followed by an immediate attack.
Military men here believe that even
though the Americans are set free,
the bandits will be attacked as punish

MORE BIG GUNS NEEDED

Commission.


Commission.
Paris. May 14.-Yet more guns are
needed to give us victory. We are
working hard, but question whether
we are working feverishly enough.
We shall never have enough artillery
OF all calibres. enough aeroplanes,
enough machine guns, searchlights,
ammunition and other war supplies
The situation demands feverish eff
forts to bring to an end this fright
ful nightmare. because while we are
manufacturing, death holds sway on
the front and French blood gushes
out on the horrible Verdun battlefield
where the Germans increasingly belcb
the formidable products of their In
dustries of death.
For three months, night and day, our
foe has indefatigably shelled our lines.
The effect produced by his enormous
projectiles which have come in a hur-
ricane of violence is told by an official
bulletin the other day announcing that
our trenches had been levelled, wreck ed
and have become untenable.
Our soldiers stand up unfiinchiugly
beneath the showers of fire and steel.
Rather than give an inch they allow
themselves to be blown TO, pieces. No
army in lie world has ever shown
such bravery.
But only heavy artillery equal to
that OF the foe and as numerous and
efficient can Quell his terrific bonn
hardments or alternate their effect
Also only this kind of artillery will
be able to make n breach in the Ger
man front for our infantry to begin
its advance. We still need ten times
as much heavy artili 1ry as we have
now to bring that branch of the ser
vice up to the level of our infantry

are sure that the only reason General
Won Falkenhayn has not piled on
more troops Is that he has no more
to pile on.
He has called to verdun the one and
only German division in reserve at
his disposal on the whole eastern front
and has also probably brought up a
few divisions from Serbia to try to
make good. He can do no more with
out weakening the armies holding the
rest OF the line unless he has fresh

and It is certain that no such forma-
tons have yet been at the front.
