"Then he will be happy, and I have

be my pleasure" he next inquired
"to meet Senor Austin, your husband n

"Too bad. l had hoped to know
him and convince him that we fede-
rales are not such bad people as he
seems to think. We ought to be

Under this talk Paloma stirred un.
easily, and at the first opportunity
burst out: "It's far from safe for you
to remain here, General Longorio
This neighborhood Is terribly excited
over the death Of Ricardo Guzman
and II anyone learned"
"Sol Then Guzman is dead?" Lon.
gorio inquired, with interest.
'Isn't he?" blurted Paloma.
"NOt so far as l can learn. Only
today made official report that moth.
ing whatever could be discovered about
him. Certainly he is nowhere in Ro.

the poor fellow was either drowned
in the river or made way with for his
money. Probably the truth will never
be known"
Longorio had come to spend the
evening, and his keen pleasure in
Alaire Austin's company made him sc

ORDERED TO TAKE NO
BRITISH PRISONERS
GERMANS TOLD TO USE SEvERI-
TY IT. ENGLISH HAPPEN TO
RE TAKEN.

With the British Armies in France.
(via London) While comparative
quiet continues to reign along most OF
the western front, the war is far
from standing still. That great Ger
man machine behind the fighting
forces continues to moya with never
resting energy.
Artillery duels break out by day
and night along the various sectors
OF the long battle line, and there Is
now unnoticed an expenditure OF
shells which two years ago would
have been regarded as little short of
marvellous, but the game of modern
warfare is ever progressive one
and the miracle of to-day becomes
the commonplace of tomorrow.
The infantry activity lately has
been confined wholly to raids and
minor local attacks. These are con
Quoted mainly for the purpose OF
keeping in touch with the enemy's
movements and intentions. Both the
British and Germans have adopted
these tactics and the few hours OF
darkness lately are filled with trench
marauding expeditions.
. The Germans appear daily to grow
more nervous and worried by the
present lull. They are watching the
British with catlike alertness. The
slightest alarm during the night sets
their guns going and many defensive
barrage curtains have zen projected
carelessly in front of the British posi-
tions. Some OF their airplanes also
are taking desperate chances in-fy-
ing low over the line. endeavoring to
keep in touch with any important
movement.
The German Government continues
to fill the air with wireless propa-
ganda against the British, virtually
ignoring all the other Allies, includ-
ing the United States. The trench
version in the Arras district OF En-
peror Williams recent speech was TO
the effect that no British prisoners
should be taken; that the Germans
should hate all the English, and. II
they could not avoid taking some
prisoners, they were to treat them
with the greatest severity. Emperor
William was at Douai and at Tour
mai May 23. and made speeches al
| both places.

Such An Intelligent Dog!

There was, once upon time. an
old lady who rented a furnished villa
for the summer, and with the villa a
large dog also went.
In the sittiug-room of the villa
there was a comfortable armchair.
The old lady liked this chair better
than any other in the house. She al
ways made for 1t the first thing. But,
alas! she nearly always found the
chair occupied by the large dog.
Being afraid of the dog. she never
dared bid it harshiy to get out Of the
chair, as she feared that it might bite
her, but instead she would go to the
window and call "cats."
Then the dog would rush to the
window and bark. and the old lady
would slip into the vacant chair
quietly.
One day the dog entered the room
and found the old lady In possession
OF the chair. He strolled over to the
window aud, looking out. appeared
much excited and set up a tremen-
dous barking.
The old lady arose and hasteIed
to the window to see what was the

FOR FLETCHER'S
Q a . ORlA
The Dog.
r. N. HUDSON,
General Mana ger.

The dog has long been mystery
to us. Why does he of all animals
desert his own kind and attach him
self to man, and this not in any one
country or at any particular period
or time?
From the earliest prehistoric ages
where traces have been found of man
there also have been signs that he
has been accompanied by his dog. and
it is the same in all parts of the
globe, from the North to the South
Pole. e
Creatures so different as the tiny
griffon, whom you can hold in the
palm of your hand, and the huge
boar-hound. four feet high, have this
same characteristics, that they live
with man and adopt him as their
master or God. We think there must
be some meaning. unknown to us,
behind this, and we have sometimes
wondered whether it may be that the
soul OF the dog may need communion
with the human soul in order to for
ward its development and work out
its destiny.
But lately we have wondered
whether it may not be the other way
about-whethe the dog is not there
in order that men, wig their temp
tation to forget all else in their ma
teriai lives, may not always have be-
fore them an example OF unseiiish
devotion, boundless love, and un-
swerving faith.-Ernest Bell, In The

1.-THE Railroads War Board, or
ganized especially to operate all the
roads of the country as one system
for the purpose of national defense,
has advised railroads to adjust their
services to conserve fuel supply, and
increase the capacity OF the lines as
whole.
This is done to secure the max
imum transportation energy for moy-
ing coal, food. materials and troops
necessary for the successful conduct
of the war.
The communication to the indiy-
idual railroads says in part:
Consolidate, where practicable,
through passenger train service and
eliminate trains which are not well
patrionized.
2 Reduce the number of special
trains and give up running excursion
trains.
3 On light and branch lines, where
| two or mere passenger trains are
operated. try to reduce to one train

4 Substitute, where practicable

enger and freight service on branch
lines. CLOSELY review number OF
scheduled freight trains, where tom
mage is insufficient to load them. with
view to reducing the number OF
trains.
Where passenger trains are

VilIistas Closing In.

Ell Paso.-Forces of Francisco Villa
have occupied Ell Vale, Chihuahua,
abandoned by General Pershings out
posts, according to apparently reliable
information received in army circles.
1t was said Villa had established head
quarters at MADEIRA and was prepar-
ing to occupy Casas Grandes as soon
as Pershing should abandon field head
quarters at COlonia Dublan.
Smugglers are planning to use the
withdrawal of the American troops
from Mexico as an excuse to smuggle
quantities of goods across the border,
according to Carranza official here.
The plan is to use the troop move
ments to veil the Illicit expectation of
cattle, hides and other goods upon
which export duties are levied. No
duty is levied on the property Of the
forces.
A military train arrived from Chi
huahua City, bringing Gen. Pablo Con-
zales, his staff and a troop escort.
General Gonzales is expected to leave
for Colonia Dublan to take command
of the Carranza forces, which are be-
ing sent into the district being evacu-
ated by General Pershing. He will
take 800 troops from the Juarez gar
rison, he said.

Tucson, Ariz.-According to advices
from Arivacas, Ariz.. about 40 miles
south of Tucson, there has been fight
ing between Mexican troopers and
American cowboys.
When the cowboys attempted to
drive their cattle from the boundary
line the Mexicans opened fire, and re-
port said the Americans retreated and
were reinforced by part of Troop e.,
Utah Cavalry, who returned the fire.
All Americans have assembled at a
house on the Arivaca Land and Cattle
Company's ranch, it was reported
Eighteen American troopers, with sew
eral thousand rounds of ammunition,
were dispatched to aid the troops al
ready engaged.
The scene Of the fighting is three
miles from Ruby, Ariz.
The fighting was started by the
Mexicans, according to the American
version of the affair, and was precip-
itated by the rounding up of cattle on
the American side, near the line, by
six American cowboys. The cowboys,
retreating, kept up running fire as
they returned northward and the Utah
cavalrymen went to their aid.
Reports said no further trouble was
and that ample troops
were at hand to protect the border
The Mexican cavalrymen, numbering
20, attacked in open formation and to-
ward the end of the skirmish had been
pretty well scattered.

Washington. - Withdrawal Of the
American military expedition in Mex

entire command, after 10 months or
Mexican soil, probably will have re
crossed into the United States.
The order went to General Funston
in command at the border, and left to
his discretion the exact time of start
ing the northward movement and the
details Of carrying it out. For several
weeks he has known of the Admins.
tration's determination to order the
troops back to the border and under
his discretion the expedition has been
concentrated for the long march.
At the border the regulars will re-

Of the State troops in the border patrol
have been ordered home, and their
movement probably will be under way
by the time Pershing's men arrive on
American soil.
To Let carranza Go Own Way.
Although officials have been silent
on the subject Of Mexico since the fail
ure of the joint commission negotia-
tons, developments outwardly have
coupled the troop withdrawal with Car
ranSa's refusal to accept the Atlantic
City protocol and have plainly fore
cast an intention to let the First Chief
settle for himself hereafter the many
problems endangering the tenure of
the de facto Government.
A patrol considered adequate to pro-
tect the border will be maintained
rigidly, however, and notice has been
served on Carranza that the United
States will not hesitate to use it's
armed force again, II necessary, to
protect American territory and Ameri-
can rights. The Americans on the
joint commission told their Mexican
colleagues at Atlantic City that this
Government never would relinquish
the right of unlimited and unrestrained
pursuit of bandits guilty Of border
That Pershing's command, sent into
Mexico last March to disperse the ban

grouped at the border and put into a
condition of preparedness for a re-
currence Of rafding is not doubted
here, and in that connection army Off
GERS are observing with keen interest
the preparations being made by Villa

All the recent moves in the Mexican

It is known, however, that President

failure Of Carranza to ratify the agree

GROWING OF COCA LEAVES
ton Demands Much Care
and Work.

The cultivation of coca leaves is very
similar to that of tea. The bushes are
kept at q height of four to six feet by
severe pruning. Under the most fa-
vorable conditions of growth, such as
the island Of Java affords, 1t is posi-
BILE to collect the leaves ut short in
tervals throughout the entire year.
Nevertheless the maintenance of an
extensive coca plantation demands
much care and work keeping out
weeds and pests, thereby raising the
production price Of the leaves consid-
erably.
The general view of one of these
plantations is especially pleasing. The
light-green -uriant foliage Of the
coca bushes, that carpet the rolling
hillsides for miles around, contrasting
with the dark green foliage of the trees
Of adjoining rubber estates, while all
is surrounded by dark depths of virgin
forests, makes a landscape that is
beautiful indeed.
