d0tlenaQO Qe nOSOtfOS una naCu-
raleZa nueva. Els que los que vi
vimOs EN- la ciudad asegurada V
resguardada por la fuerza publ
ca, estamos libres de amenazas.
Pero los que habitan estas mon
tailas solitarias solo confian de
su brazo Y del revolver.
Desde la vega divisamOs el Gin
tur0n de hlces de San Juan has
ta Santurce. ALI, nos decimOs,
los hOmbres de la ciudad, ampara
dos pOr la ley, sin tenor al asal-
to, dandole expansion a sus ba-
jos instintos y sus ,cobardias.
Aqnf, el reinadO del bandolero, la
guarida de la fiera, sin mas lev
que la del cailon del revolver.
Es solemne Y misteriOso el ro-
ce de Ia nOche en- estOs parajes
de la sOledad, dOnde Sc 0ye, desde
la pisada cautelosa del merodea-
dor hasta ell ruido que produce ell
idescerrajamientO de una puerta;
desde ell ladrido del perrO que ad-
vierte la presencia de un ser hui
mano hasta el ruidO que produce
la cabra que huge, no por capri
cho, sino a la approximation de
una persona. En- ese h0ndO silen-
clio Gle la montana es que sc apren-
de a c0n0cer ell lenguaje de los pc
rros. Cuando ell perro ladra por
ladrar, es un ladridO cortO, indo-
lente, II nladrido que Sc arrastra.
Por ell contrario, cuando ell perro
anuncia ell paso del bandOler0 su
ladrido es agudo, sOstenido, con
tinuO, llenO de alarmas V temo-
res.
DescubrimOs este mundo de de-
Tito, de pecado, de expiaci6n, de
inquietud, de sombra, de acecho,
donde la naturaleza predica ell de,
rechO de la fuerza, la ley del
m1sculo y del arma de fuegO Y ell
arma blanca, donde 10 que triun-
ia es ell instinto, no la ley razona-
da por los habiles, por los astu-
tos.. En- ese mundO vence ell hO-
cico de la fiera, ell alma atigrada
del capataz que lleva la pistola
cargada y una intenci6n de pan
terra Ell sus adentros. Aquf no
trinnfa ell cObarde que Sc ampara
EN- la justicia para robar nj ell
lenguaraZ que sc vale de Ia ca
lHmnia para manchar honras. Lo
que aqni, en- este mundO Sc dice
~ Sc hace, Sc dice y Sc hacc con
el apoyo del revolver, dnica ley
que respetan los caehorros.
Como 81 ann estuviesemOs en-
la cueva, pasan sObre nuestras ca
bezas, girones de la noche, los
murcielagos, mientras a 10 leios Sc
oye la nota agOrera del m1caro,
nOta que atraviesa la nOche como
una carcajada plutoniana en- las
regiOnes de la bruma.

CALL ON wilson
! FOR REPORT ON
TRAU INCIDENT
landing of American Marines
on Dalmatian Coast Sub
jeCt Of Debate in Sen
ate Chamber.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Landing
Of American marines at Trau, Dal-
malta, to dislodge Italian forces
which had occupied the town was
discussed in congress again today.
The senate, after sharp debate,
adopted resolution by Senator
New. republican of Indiana, calling
fon-President Wilson for report of
the incident if not incompatible
with the public interest.
Secretary Daniels said no further
report on the landing of the Amer
icans had been received from Rear
Admiral Read, commanding the
American forces in the Adriatic.
The officer has been asked to send
additional details.
Divide Coast Patrol
Mr.. Daniels said the division of
the Dalmatian coast for patrol by
American French and Italian naval
forces had been decided upon by a
board of admirals representing the
United States, Great Britain, France
and Italy and approved by the peace
conference, and that the plan was
to remain in force until final dispo-
sition of the Dalmatian territory by
the peace conference.
The commanders OF the patrol
ling naval forces. he added, were
responsible for the preservation of
order .on that portion of the coast
assigned them and that Admiral
ANDREWS had ample authority to
take such steps as he deemed
necessary to prevent disorder.
Claim No Filibuster.
During the senate debate on the
new resolution, charges by Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska. administra
ton leader in the treaty fight, that
the republicans were using the
Trau and other incidents in Europe
TO "heckie" the president and were
iilibusterirg to delay the peace
treaty. brought sharp denials from
Republican Leader Lodge and Sen
ator Fall, republican, New Mexico.
Senator Lodge said there had
been 10 hlibuster on the treaty and
that there would be none, bat that
senators who desired to discuss the
document would not be denied the
opportunity. He added that if the
senate were given information as to
the Tfau incident and as to what
commitments had been made rela
tive to American participation in
Eu opcan affairs debate on the
treaty would be shortened.
