He is General Luis Terrazas, the
octogenarian exile from Mexico who
lost virtually all his great fortune
in the revolution OF Madero and
Villa and now is forced by political
conditions in his country to live on
the border. When the Madero revo-
luton started in 1911 Don Luis
was known as the cattle king of
Mexico. His estate stretched from
than 100000 head and grazed on a
thousand hills and plains of northern
Mexico. His eitatee otrctched from
the Rio Grande to Chihuahua City
and he coudl ride for 24 hours by
train over his own acres, which then
numbered more than a million.
From his offices in the state cap
ital, General Terrazas governed this
vast cattle empire, conducted bank

with his cattle business. He and his
large family lived in luxury in the
marble palace on the Alameda or

Now General Te-razas and his

Scrolls of the Law Restored
to Synagogues In Palestine

Jerusalem, June 30-(Correspond
ence OF the Associated Press)-Res
toration of the parchment scroll:
of the law to the various synagogues
in Tel Aviv and Jaffa was one oi
the interesting ceremonies which
followed the British occupation.
These scrolls Of the Law OF Moses
which are all written by hand and
are preserved in magnificcntly orna-
mented cases, some of them i'll solid
silver, are the most sacred and holy
possessions OF every Jewish COM
munity. SO when Dqemal Pasha
in his hostility to the Zionists, car
ried out the tyrannical evacuation
of the bulk of the Jewish popula-
ton of Jaffa in April, 1917, the Jews
carried with them these sacred To-
rah into exile. lest they should fall
into the hands of the Turks.
These sacred scrolls had been
carefully guarded by the Jews at
Petach Tikvah (Mulebbis) and
were brought back in solemn pro-
cession to .Jaffa. A triumphal arch
was erected at the northern CON
fines of Tel Aviv, every house was
decorated with flowers and bunting
and the whole OF the Jewish popu-
lation turned out en- fete to meet
the return OF their sacred posses
sions. Jews came not merely from
Jaffa but also from Richon-le-Ziou !
and the other neighboring colonies.
The young men and the girls Of
the Maccabee Athletic Association
dressed in white clothes, with blue
sashes and ties, maintained order
and kept a pathway clear for the
procession through the crowds. The
procession was headed by the Aus
tralian Military Band and the cere-
mony at the triumphal arch was
attended by officers representing
.he military governor and by Doc
or Weizmann and the members

Of affa mounted a small dais neat
the triumphal arch and deliverel
an eloquent Hebrew address il
which he rccounted the hardships oi
the evacuation. He thanked and
invoked blessings upon the British
government and the British army
and expressed the hope that sue
cess would crown the efforts OF
the Zionist commissioners. The
Jews desired to regenerate and
build up Palestine, not merely for
their own benefit, but for that OF
all its inhabitants where friendship
and help he invited. The re-estab-
lishment of the Jewish people in
their ancient home in Palestine, he
said, would be for the good Of all
humanity.
Then the shofar or rams horn
was blown and the scrolls were car
ried under canopies by the CHIEF
rabbi, Doctor Weizmanu and others
to the various synagogueS to which
they belonged.
In the afternoon the town Of Tel
Ayiv remained Ell fete. There were

BIRDS ARE VALUED
Carrier Pigeons Do Excellent
Service for Army.
Many Now Being Trained at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin Under the
Direction of the Government
Made Splendid Record.


Carrier pigeons for the army are
now being trained at the University of
Wisconsin, and special experiments
with the birds are being carried On
under the direction of the government.
This new war work has been taken
up under the direction of Prof. L. ].
Cole. head of the department of ex-
detrimental breeding.
twenty-five young pigeons have
been received from the signal corps
for use in flying investigations, and
IA old birds for breeding purposes
have been donated by Cleveland
pigeon fancier.
Lieut.. W. L. Butler of the central
department of the signal corps at Chi
cage and Maj. Frank Griffin of the
Washington office were at the univer-
sity recently making arrangements for
the work.
A warning not to shoot pigeons has
been issued by the bureau of informa-
ticn at Washington on account of the
large number of homing pigeons which
are being trained in various parts Of
the country Now that the training is
| also being carried on in Wisconsin, the
people of that state are being warned
not to shoot pigeons, and if any bird
is found bearing the label 'U. S. A.
o. 49," the mark borne by all govern
| ment pigeons, it should be reported to
the chief signal officer at Washington.
In the present war honing pigeons
play a large part in the carrying of
important messages, because they can
fly home when telephones, telegraph
and wireless have been destroyed, and
are rarely hit by gunfire.
The process of training pigeon for
military purposes consists in first TAX
| ing it about 1000 yards from home and
loosing it SO that it can fly back; then
the distance is increased and the di-
rection changed as the training pro-
| crosses.
The average speed of a homfng
pigeon is from /, 400 to 1,70O yards a
minute, although many make much
higher speed than this. Important
messages in the army are usually sent
by two birds in order to insure safe
delivery and but few messages are lost
A small aluminium container is
fastened to the birds legs to carry
messages, or else the bits of paper are
| tied directly on the legs.
Stories are recorded daily in the
war of life-saving feats accomplished
by homing pigeons. A crew of YES
sci struck by a submarine recently had
| just time to free homing pigeon be
fore the ship sunk. Although the bird
was wounded by shots from the Ger
man submarine, it few to another
craft u miles away and saved the
lives of the men fioundering about in
the water.
Men are in great demand in the
homing pigeon operator branch of the
signal service. No man of draft age
can be indicted into this service, but
there is a call for men below twenty
one and over thirty years Of age fol
this work.
