LEADER

Word has reached the office of the
governor of the death in Mexico of
L. d. De Lara, a labor leader of this
state and the author of a work, His
tory of the Mexican people" News of
the death of De Lara reached the gov
ernor in a message on Monday in which
it was stated that the writer had un-
derstoOd that he had been executed at
some place in Sonora.
The governor then wired to Cover
nor P. Gales of Sonora making inquiry
about De Lara The reply came on
Monday night from General de Lasa
crossing the district OF Altar. General
de Lasa sends you affectionate greet
ings for General P. Elias Gales"
AT what point in the district and
how De Lara was killed is not known
but it is regarded as probable that he
was executed at a place called Zaric
in that district, according to the first
report of his death.
De Lara had figured prominently in
Mexican affairs during the last halt
dozen years, and on one political
charge or another had been in Jail at
Los Angeles and Arizona and Texas

PETROGRAD CHAOS
DENIED BY THOSE

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, Feb. 5.-A Russian gov
eminent proclamation addressed ITO
all'' was received here today by wire
less from Petrograd. 1t denies state
ments made in the foreign press that
chaos reigned in Petrograd or else
where. 1t asserts, on the contrary,
that Moscow and Petrograd are calm
and that no socialists have been ar
rested there.
Kiev says the proclamation, is in the
hands of the Ukrainian council, and
the Bourgeiosie rada has fallen and
fled. Orenburg was captured by the
councils authority, the proclamation
adds, while in Finland the victory of
the Finnish wcrkmens government is
nearing achievement. The White Guard
forces have been pressed back north
ward and the workmen's victory over
them is secured.
The food situation in Petrograd, the
proclamation continues, has improved.
News from Germany" the procla-
nation says, is scarce. Clearly the
Germans are suppressing the truth
about the revolution there.

Litovsk that the Germans are drag

FINAL AUTHORITY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.:The inter-

authority in fixing railroad rates
during the period Of government con-

An amendment to the admnistra-

complaint the interstate commerce
commission shall hold hearings and

The bill provides that the presi-

BIG HERDS GONE
World War Wastes Europe's
Meat Supply.
American Stock Raisers Cooperate
With Food Administration In Con-
servatien Measured

1t is probable that Europe for many
years after the war will look to
great extent to America for its meat
supply.
Europes herds are dwindling under
wars demands faster than they can be
replenished.
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions Of France and
Belgium approximately 1,S00,o 900 head
of cattle were appropriated. This ad-
dition virtually safeguarded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations now
suffer.
In England some 100000 acres OF
grass lands have by compulsory meas
ures been forced into grain production,
thus reducing pastursge and hay lands.
A declining scale of maximum meat
prices for live cattle was ordained in
England, as follows: For September,
$17.76 per hundred pounds; October.
SIPS; November and December,
Sl6.0S, and for January, S14.40. The
evident intent Of this measure was TO
drive the beef animals into market as
soon as possible.
According to Official French figures,
the cattle Of France have decreased to
a total of 1884 300 as compared with
14,S07 900 in 1913. Today, due to lack
Of forage principally, France is pro
ducing only one gallon of milk where
before the war two and one-half gal
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food adj
ministration has taken steps to con
serve our focks and herds and to in
crease their numbers The stock breed
ers Of this country show a disposition
to cooperate with the government in
this.
For many years 1t has been a prac-
tice among many of the dairy people
of this country to kill male calves at

Somebody has very aptly said that
the wars Of the world have been won

This makes the American burden al

ATTACK ON JUAREZ
Republican A. p. Leased WlreJ

JUAREZ, Feb. 5.-Fear that Fran
cisco Villa might change his plans
and strike Juarez instead of Ojinaga
has caused General Martinez, acting
commander of the federal forces at
Chihuahua City, to send reinforce
ments north from the state capital
to prevent Villas men from joining
him.
Home guards are being organized
among the civilian population to as
sist in guarding the town.
Villa is marching toward the Dor
der between Chihuahua City and the

Sunday with between 500 and 500
men, all well armed and mounted.
Villa was in personal command with
Martin Lopez second in command.
Villas forces defeated the federal
column under General Pedro Favela
north of Diaz station Friday. Details
of the battle We're not given, but
Favela's forces was reported badly
demoralized This column has been
in pursuit of Villa since December 25
The federals were pursuing Villa to-
ward the border when he turned and

SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE

The government has never consid-
cred any plan of sei1ing foodstuffs
owned by householders. Nor is there
any policy of this kind suggested for
the future.
In spite of this fact, the United
States food administration has been
obliged repeatedly to issue Official de-
malls Of rumOrs that the government
intends Communicating preserves and
canned goods put up in American
homes.
These rumors were originated partly
by pro-German propagandists and part
ly by constituencies grsfters, who
sought to profit through buying from
misinformed housewives.
The year 1918 will see home canning
and preserving prncticed on greater
scale than ever before in the nations
history, officials In Washington believe.
And they are assuring all patriotic
housewives that foods SO saved are
theirs, and theirs alone.
