TURE OF BANDIT BAND.
six-Day Campaign Results In Killing

the Capture of Half a Dozen Of
(iis Followers.

Marta, Texas Three hundred
in an endeavor to capture the bandits
who held for ransom Lieutenants Pet
ersOn and Davis, are back on Ameri-
can soil, and the invasion of Mexico
is a matter of history.
The Amer IAN punitive expedition
came out of Mexico ON Sunday. The
column, making an early start, crossed
the Rio Grande and arrived at Can
delaria on the American side at night
fall, having marched over sixty miles
since morning. Officers and men were
tired with the strain of the siX-day
campaign but were not downcast over
their failure to find all of the bandits.
They make no excuses, but their ex-
2eriences speak for themselves-of the
tremendous difficulties encountered
in the hunt for ''the fiend" and his fol-
lowers. And they have. moreover, six
prisoners and four dead Mexicans in
their game bag"
The six prisoners are leading a sad
life. They are at Ruidosa, the base
Of the expedition. and they are chop
ping wood and washing dishes.
Jesus Rentaria, the bandit leader,
was shot and killed by Lieut. II. II.

WILSON POSTPONES
WAGE SETTLEMENT
PRESIDENT DECLINES TO FIX
PAY FOR THE RAILWAY
SHOP MEN
Basic Wage Questions Should be De.
ferred Until the Era of High Prices
Has Gone, He Says in Note to
the Public.

Washington Postponement of the
settlement of wage demands until nor
NAL conditions are restored was an
nounced on Monday by President Will
son as the policy which the admins
tration will pursue In dealing with
such questions, particularly those af-
fecting railroad workers.
The president announced also that it
was neither wise nor feasible at this
time, when the most important ques-
ton before the country is a return to
normal price level, to attempt to in
crease freight rates to provide funds
for higher wages.
we ought to postpone questions of
this sort until we have the opportunity
for certain calculation as to the rela-
lions between wages and the cost of
aiNing," the president declared In a
statement to the public explaining his
decision as to wages. 1T is the duty of
every citizen to insist upon a truce in
such contests until intelligent settle
ments can be made, and made by
=
= appeal to my fellow citizens of every
employment to cooperate in insisting
upon and maintaining such a truce"
Mr.. Wilson's statement was issued in
connection with the decision of him
self and Director General Hines on de-
per cent advance I'm wages, but the
general policy announced covers also
the wage demands of other hundreds
of thousands of railroad workers,
which are pending before the director
general or about to be presented. II
is to be expected that other unions
trying to obtain more pay will be
asked, as the shOpmen, to play their
part with other citizens in reducing
the cost of living by foregoing tenn
pOrary advantage which would add to
transportation costs.
The decision of the president and
the director. general was announced
to a committee of 100, representing
the shopmen. In reply to their de
mands for 25 per cent increase, the
shopmen were asked to accept an ad
justment of their pay to the basis OF
ten hours pay for eight hours work
which they contended was given tC
other employees and denied them wheT
the Adamson law became effective
This means an advance Of the basi'
pay from 68 cents to II cents an hour
whereas an increase of II cents 4
30. cents an hour was demanded.

"At the fourth session of the fedora

the first Monday In September of each
year labor's national holiday and rec
Ommending Its observance by wage
workers generally throughout the
country. This met with response that
exceeded the most sanguine expecta.
tons. In our great manufacturing and
distributing centers thousands OF
workingmen marched In procession
and participated In the festivities OF
the picnic grounds. where the most
skilled mechanics and workers In pro-
LESSONS and labOrers united in a COM
mon celebration, exchanging friendly
fraternal greetings while they listened
to the champions OF labor discussing
the economic and political questions OF
the day. The good effects of this are
so well understood that we recommend
Its more general observance still until
1t shall be as uncommon for a man to
work on that day as on independence

A Word to Disabled Soldier.

Every man who was in the military
or naval service of the United States
during the late war, and who on ac-
count of such service is not physically
fitted to engage at once in a gainful
occupation should at once notify the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance in
Washington, D. C.
Under the law this Bureau is
charged with providing for service
men discharged because of disability
incurred in active service in the line
of duty, compensation and free med
ical treatment until such time as they
are restored TO physical fitness. Dur
ing the summer of 1918 there was a
general combing out of the military
training camps of the country in an
effort to bring up the standard of
physical fitness, and many men dis
charged at that time may be unaware
of their rights under an act of Con-
gress to compensation for disability
and medical attention and hospital
treatment where necessary. All cases
of this or a like nature should be
brought Immediately to the attention
of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance.

YANKEE DOODLE IN BERLIN

is doubtful if the world wants to hear
it, or will pay any attention anyway.
But you can tell it to the world and
the world will 1isten-that Mack Sen

beauty. Every audience that sees his
bathing girls, now on tour with cyan

When the people of this city see the
production at the Strand theater, they
will see in real life in pulchritudinous
flesh and blood, group of the pref
test girls in the whole United States
and Canada.
Seven states in the Union are re-
presented while one of the girls comes
from old Quebec and another from
the banks of the Saskatchewan. Those
from this country range from Maine
to California.
One of them was operating an ele-
vator when Sennett scout saw her
and said: "Hither, little one. You
were not born to blush unseen" and
she made her debut before the cam
era with society beauty who step
ped from a finishing school to the
Sennett studios.
Another was garnered from behind
a counter in department store where
her grace and elfn beauty had sur
vived months of artificial light and
hard work for starvation wages.
While her salary now seems prince
ly in comparison with her old wages,
she is the particular "pal' of a girl
who regards her salary as spin mon
ey' because her father owns an oil
well, and so it goes.
Mack Sennett insists upon two
