800 SCHOOL ARE
ESTABLISHED IN
S0N0RAIN YEAR
$4,000 IS EXPENDED
FOR SCHOOL SUPPLIES
Four Carloads of Paraphernalia
Shipped In from Nogales
Within Last Week.

With a record of 300 public
schools established in the last
year, and over $50, 900 expended
for school supplies, the great
state of Sonora has reason to be
proud.
So quietly has the plan been
carried out that it was by acci-
dent that the news became pub
lie yesterday. Then it was due
to the fact that four carloads of
school supplies have been ship
ped into Sonora from Nogales
within the past week, with a to-
tai value of more than $4,000.
These supplies comprise prac-
tically everything that would be
used to equip a school and pre-
pare it for the reception of chill
dren. There were desks, ink
wells, books, writing pads, pen
ellis, benches, school seats, black
boards, and in fact the entire
paraphernalia for school work.
"Yes," said Mexican Consul
Delgado yesterday, ut is true
that the Sonora government has
been very active the past year
in the establishment of schools.
Governor Gales is a firm be-
lever in education for the peo-
pie, and despite all the other
cares and troubles that have
burdened him in his position at
the head of the Sonora govern
ment, he has found time to take
a deep interest in this work Of
fostering education.
This news will be of unusual

There are other indications

The capture of Valenciennes and

Moderation to Enemy
Would Be Crime, Says
Italian OMciaIdOn,

Washington, Nov. Am init
nation of the drastic nature of the
armistice terms submitted by
General Diaz to the Austrians is
given in an official dispatch from
Rome today, saying:
"The Italian victory is hourly
assuming such proportions that
any kind of indulgence toward an
enemy which up to the last
minute of his dominion has in
suited our brethren, devastated
our lands and fought with the ut
most barbarity, would be
crime"
The conditions of the armistice
are inspired by the principles Of
President Wilson, namely, to
render it impossible for the enemy
to recommence the war. and to
prevent him from prohting by the
armistice to withdraw from a diff
ficult military situation.

WESTERN unit
HAS HARD FIGHT
IN FLANDERS
Americans Advance in Face Of
Terrific Fire and Clear Out
Numerous Machine
Gun Nests.

With the Allied Forces in
Flanders, Nov. 4.-The fighting
which one American detachment en-
countered yesterday at Spitaalsboss-
chem wood. southeast of Waereg-
hem, in Belgium, was probably the
hardest it has experienced in the
months it has been in France.
This unit of westerners had come
from a section of the line where it
had seen some bitter engagements,
but the major who was leading a
battalion which was outfanking the
wood on the north, and who was
wounded, told the Associated Press
that the early stages of the battle
yesterday were heavier than any
thing his men had been through.
This forest, which covers a con-
siderable tract, was literally net
work of barbed wire entanglements.
among which there were great num-
bers of machine gun nests dominat-
ing the American line in front of it.
Charge Through Barrage.
The Germans evidently had been
expecting an attack, for as soon as
the drive began many of the little
houses along the line sprang into
flames set by the boche and the
whole district was lighted brilliantly.
This threw the advancing troops
out in bold relief, which enabled the
machine gunners to operate freely.
At the same time the German artil-
lery put down a terrific barrage
which continued for hours. Through
this blaze of light the Yankees
charged and began the work Of
clearing out the machine gun posts
No direct frontal attack was made
on the wood. but an out-hanking
operation was started on either
side.
Into the advancing forces rapid
frers poured a vicious fire from con-
cealed positions in the woods. Every
farm house and haystack along the
way dHu tuClC WClC uldlIy, SOAtdlh-
ed its machine gun which was chat
tering rapidly. Each of these had
to be surrounded and subdued in
turn as the Americans moved for
ward.
Civilians In Peril.
Very few civilians had left this
district. The farmers and their fam
lilies were still living in houses
which the Germans had seized for
machine gun posts and While the
grey coats were sending streams
of bullets from the upper windows
and loop holes in the lofts, the
people were down below in terror,
waiting for they knew not what.
Every precaution was taken by the
Americans to spare these unfortun-
ate people. The houses were sur
rounded and the Germans taken
prisoner or killed.
The wood was taken after sew
eral hours of fierce fighting and all
the Germans cleaned out. As the
day progressed the going became
easier, but this American division
will never forget the first hour of
that battle.

The Americans are in good health.
General Treat, the American COM
mander in Italy, today presented TO
King Victor Emmanuel a congrat-
ulatory message on the Italian vic
tory from Ambassador Page.
The pressure of the Italians on
the north of the battle front has
forced the enemy to continue his
hurried retreat.

The road to Udine is in itself a
battlefield. The double row of high
