GoUermment to Build Vaults to House Films of tue Wdr.

s Fire-proof storage vaults for the safe guarding of the valuable col Election of moving picture films of 1.-the present war are to be built in Washington by the War Department. { It is announced that thousands iof feet of moving pictures and tho Isande of stills have cen taken under the direction of the histo = iioal division of the Genera! Staff, both in this country and in Europe for the purpore of historical record. These have been stored in various places in Washington, because here tofore no suitable place had been provided for their safe-keeping. AS thousands of dollars have already been spent in making the negatives and many more thousands of pie lures are yet to be taken, the need for fire-proof storage became more manifest
 Plans for the vaults call for their location all in one building, with fire-proof walls between each vault. The doors of the vaults will also be fire-proof. For the proper pres ervation of the negatives, the vaults will be so constructed as to main tain fairly even temperature and good ventilation

FL PASO, Aug. BOA little, white haired man with the stoop of ex- treme age in his shoulders, testified as a witness in a cattle hide suit filed in the justice court here re- gently to recover 720 cattle hides al legged to have been taken from cattle stolen from Americans. He said he had owned 1SO,00O head of cattle at one time but now owned none.
 He was General Luis Terrazas, known at one time as the cattle king of Mexico" He is living in ex- ile here because of political condi- tions in his own country. At one time he was known as one of the powerful men in Northern Mexico and among the most wealthy. It was possible to ride for "A hours across his ranges and his herds were said to number more than 100000 at one time. The revolutions robbed him of many of his cattle, many more were confiscated by degree and the re- IldlIueT dIo luHuli6 WIu Ou thC oP- en range of Chihuahua.
 The waste of beef cattle by revo- lutionary and bandit bands in Mexico is considered ty cattlemen to be one of the great crimes of the revolu- tionary period. Cattlemen owning great ranches in Mexico tell of find ing 20 or 30 of their fattest steers killed and the tenderloin steaks cut from their Hanks, the remainder of the carcasses being left behind for the coyotes to devour. At one time revolutionary force left the border for campaign with nothing but a barrel of salt in the commisary wa. gon They depended upon killing enough beef to feed the force of 150 until a town could be captured ard food communicated.
 Killing cattle was not the only crime done in the name of the reve- lution in Northern Mexico. Wind mills were wrecked or burned, ce- ment water tanks dynamited and ranch houses and corrals destroyed.
 General Terrazas was not the only large cattle operator in Mexico who suffered. Many American firms lost all of their cattle and several be. came bankrupt following the paraiy sis of the industry. .4s
