FAILS OF CONFIRMATION

JUAREZ, Mexico, December A.
Mexican officials here today were still
without confirmation Of the reported
capture of Francisco Villa by mem
bers of his band who are said to be
holding him for ransom. Both civil

Mexico for Chihuahua, who Is here
on an inspection trip.
Col. Pauline Fontez, general SUPER
intendent Of the National Railways of

BERLIN, December S.-Dr. Paul

brochure in which he says that Prince
bismarck. before his break with for.

cal opinions on the emperor's health
from leading specialists who unaf1i-
mously decided that he was suffering
from a mental disease and that there
was a possibility of permanent mad

These opinions, according to Dr.
Tesdorp, are given in the third VOL

suggests that this fact accounts for
the desire to prevent the publication
of the memoirs.
