encounter Villa rode through Canu-
tilla once more. leaving a small de-
tachment to hold the town against the
federals.
There again he played one of his
old tricks. He had these men hide in
the adobe houses, where thev cut
loophOles facing the side from which
the federal attack was expected. These
Villa men also made all of the civil
ians crowd into these houses and give
"Vivas" for Villa, to make the enemy
believe the Villa force vas many
times larger than it really was. The
small villa force succeeded in holding
off the federals until Villa could lead
his main column in a circle and strike
the federal forces from the rear. Again
the government troops were slaugh-
tered, the mining men said, and many
were made prisoners and later exc
cuted
These are only two of Villas bag of
tricks. Another favorite one is to
send his men against the enemy, then
have them retire in apparent disorder
until they reach a canyon or other
place easily fortified by Villa. The
pursuers are led into this trap and
they are subjected to sweeping fire
from the rocks, and usually are an
initiated. This piece of native STRAIT
egg was used against the federals at
San Andres, Chihuahua, again at Ro-
sario, Durango, and at Pederanales,
! Chihuahua.
Frequently Villa has forced federal
telegraph operators to send mislead-
ing messages directing troop trains to
proceed to a point where a trap was
laid for them. This was done at La
guna, Chihuahua, and a paymaster
general and all of his guard were
killed. Villa always carries a tele-
! graph operator with him to gee that
his orders are carried out and he is
not tricked. He has even called fed
eral generals on the long-distance tel
ephone or sent them messages telling
them to beware of Villa, and claiming
to be local federal commander in the
district from which the messages were
sent.
Because of these tricks, learned as
a bandit in the mountains, Villa has
become the subject of many wild tales
of adventure in northern Mexico,
where he is credited with bearing a
charmed life.

WORK OF RED CROSS
SHOWN IN FIGURES

"The American Red Cross is ready
for the much heralded offensive of
the Germans" said Marshal Hale,
manager of the Pacific division, in ad-
dressing the regular meeting of the
Social Workers Alliance recently.
"StOrehouses greater than the world
has seen before are now filled with
Red Cross supplies in France, waiting
to serve American soldiers and the
fighters of our allies.
More than thirty million surgical
bandages have been prepared by the
women of the United States and have
landed carefully, sealed and packed in
France. OF this number more than
two million five hundred thousand
were prepared by the women of this
division.
There must be no let up in the
work that is being done and increased
production must be Forthcoming in
every department. In this division,
January of this year showed a total
of more than six hundred and fifty
thousand surgical dressings. We are
going to break that west line and the
Red Cross is helping"

PLENTY OF ADVENTURE IN WAR

The war is not entirely robbed of its
romance by the huge machines that
decide battles and the trenches that
restrict the operations of the infantry.
AS long as there are airplanes and
swift boats hunting out submarines
there is plenty of adventure in modern
conflict to suit even a romantic knight
of the days of chivalry.
We are thinking of the bold men
manning the destroyer in the cold
North seas. Wrapped in great coats
they stand on icy decks while their
swift craft plows the water, its wire
less apparatus alert for distress call
and hundred eyes intent for sight of
a periscope. A call for help comes;
the destroyer turns its course and
d&shes away at a speed of thirty-five
knots an hour: it reaches a ship that
has been a submarine; bubbles in the
water show the course of the U-bOat;
the destroyer dashes down this
course, dropping depth bombs that
fairly lift it out of the water when
they explode; oil and rubbish come
to the surface and another submarine
is done
We are thinking of the fearless
aviator as he mounts into the heavens
and streaks out across the enemy
lines. He is after an observation bal
Ion which must be destroyed. He
raises into the clouds; he peeks
through the holes in them and sees
2bat he is beyond the balloon; he turns
his course and starts downward to-
ward his objective; German eyes see
him and puffs of smoke below, around
get for antiaircraft guns; German air.
planes begin to rise to meet him; he
speeds up his machine to one hundred
and thirty miles an hour; downward
ard onward he sails until his observer
sees that they are directly over the
balloon; the German observer in it'll
drops with his parachute just as the
airplane observer touches a spring
that releases a half dozen fire bombs
one of them finds its target and the
balloon is in flames; the nose of the
airplane is turned upward and back to
his own lines the aviator speeds.
Action? Adventure? Romance?
Hazard?
Modern warfare has them all if that
rs what a red-blooded young man is
looking for.

LIVE UP TO YOUR ADVICE

There are few men who do not get
pleasure from stating some platitude
lauding honesty, civic integrity, and
those other virtues that make for good
government and right living.
The trouble is that few take the
trouble to live up to the sentiments
they are so ready to express. If they
did so this would soon become vastly
better world
The next time you expatiate on the
Golden Rule make up your mind to do
something toward living it.
Talk is always cheap, but in the
scriptures it is pointedly stated that
men shall be known by their fruits.
This applies particularly to those
who are long on good advice and short
on living up to it.

PANCHO VILLA
LEADS FEDERALS
A MERRY CHASE

JUAREZ, April 12.-FranciscO Villa
continues to play his fox-like tricks
on the Mexican federal troops as he
did when he was "Pancho" Villa, the
bandit, and rode the Sierra Madre
mountains of western Chihuahua like
a Mexican Robin Hood.
American mining men who had run
the gauntlet of Villas lines and
reached the border here on a passen-
ger train, the windows of which had
been shot out by Villas men, told
the first connected story of Villas OPP
erations around Canutillo, Durango,
just over the Chihuahua state line,
against the federal column which pur-
sued him from Jiminez with its 100
mounted daredevils.
After the fight at Laguna de-Esta-
cada, Chihuahua, Villa led his men
southwest toward the Rio FIorido,
where he had hidden while General
Pershing was pursuing him. There
are bubbling hot springs on the Rio
sFlOrido, where Villa likes to battle and
soak the rheumatism and saddle sore
ness out of his limbs after a hard
campaign. But before he could enjoy
his private baths in the Durango river
General Eduardo Hernandez and Cen
eral Francisco Gonzales closed in on
him with two cavalry columns.
Pretending to flee before these ad-
vancing columns, Villa and his men
dashed through the little mountain
town of Canutillo with the federal
cavalrymen pursuing him a few hours
later. Villas little army disappeared
over the ridge of a sand hill with the
evening sun. The federals went into
camp on butte overlooking the town,
intending to resume the pursuit at
daybreak. 1t was a moonlight night,
and few sentries were posted, a GUS
tom not uncommon in Mexico.
Instead of continuing his flight,
Villa halted behind the first ridge,
had all of his men leave their hats in
a pile, wheeled his column and rode
back toward Canutillo. Scouts re-
ported the location of the federal
army, plainly visible in the moonlight.
Whispered orders were given that no
one but those wearing hats should be
fired upon. The attack then began.
With war whoop which was as ter
rifying as the famous rebel yell, the
Villa column swept down upon the
camp, shooting from the saddle at
every man who could be seen. In the
confusion which followed the surprise
night attack the federal soldiers killed
many of their own men, mistaking
them for Villas men. After sharp

The German people want a smash

Instead the kaiser bring them an
other glorious page"
He tells them to read it and be hap
py; what they want is rest from fight
ing and food for their stOmachs.
They want to see that page upon
which is written the word "Finis."
And they will see it in good time
but the allies will write it and it will
be finis for the kaiser.

Heretofore he has referred to other

pages have been kept and bound.

their glory fades in time. The great

In the Red Cross parade last spring
there was a boys band which played
marching music with the swing and
rhythm of a veteran organization. This
was the B. f. Keith Boys Band

of the B. F. Keith vaudeville circuit,
were discussing the lack of opportu-

led them to offer rooms and equipmen.
to number of boys for use as
club, and this club took the form of a
band. Messrs. Keith and Albee re-
solved to give this band every oppor-
tunity and offered the use of two
floors of the Alhambra Theatre Build
ing, at 126th Street and Seventh Ave-
nue., and had them made over into
They installed a bandmaster and two
assistants and gymnasium instructor.
The lads are first required to join the
athletic school and are given thor
ough setting-up training. Then comes
the selection of Instruments and the
schooling by musical experts. Boys of
especial cleverness are sent to the
best musical instructors in New York
City upon the instrument they have Sc
lected to play.
B. F. Kcith's Boys Band is not
available for paid engagements. The
upkeep, amounting to some $4,000 a
year, is paid by Messrs. Keith and
Albec
The result after a year is three hun
dred members, two hundred of them
active mbermusicians- each one a
keen musician. Contrary to a general
impression, the band is not made IN
of B. F. Keith employees. BOYS come
from all walks of life and from every
quarter of the city, though chiefly
from the poorer quarters REQUESTS

VI course, GlDDOnS was not unknown
before the war. He was with Villa in
Mexico, and later when the American
punitive expedition was in pursuit Of
that bandit chief Gibbons surprised the
managing editor of "The Chicago Trib-
une" one day by suggesting that he be
empowered to buy a Ford and proceed
across the border in order to Join
Villa and report the chase from the
standpoint of the fugitive force Of
Mexicans. He explained that he was
sure Villa would like the publicity.
There was some danger, he admitted,
that stray bandits might be encoun-
tered on the way, but he felt certain
he could explain his mission salts
factorily to them by means OF his ten
words of Spanish and his Chicago
police card.
The managing editor was timid
man and refused to let Gibbons 60.
OF course, nothing could have hurt him
much. When the Laconia went down
he clambered to the lifeboat from the
the way, and few hours after he
landed he began to send the yarn. 1t

ever written in America
Gibbons was little hampered in
