VILLAS IDEAS FOR
 EQUIPPING FORCES
Bandit Chief Has Several Methods Successfully Tried Out For Ob-
 taining Funds and Supplies.

Fl Paso, Tex, Sept. 26.-F'rancisco Villa has obtained his ammunition for eQuipping his men for his bandit raids by smuggling across the United States border or by capture of Car ranza troops. It is believed that in the past, millions of rounds of ammuni- tion have been smuggled into Mexi- co for Villa from Texas, New Mexi- co and Arizona. Small fortunes are said to have been gained by snug glers.
 The United States has stopped the smuggling by wholesale, by compell- : ing ammunition dealers to obtain permits from the army intelligence
 department and by requiring them to make reports of sales showing who receives the ammunition and the use to which it is to be put.
 Nevertheless, it is claimed small
 quantities of ammunition still are be- ing smuggled over the border. Villa has often boasted that he ob- tained a large part of his ammunition
New Britain herald., 1919-09-26

and many rifles from Carranza troops. He captured 0,000 rounds of am- intuition intended for Carranza at Parral last spring. Prior to Villas last attack on Juarez a few WelIs ago, a Carranza customs official was discovered delivering ammunition to Villas spies in Juarez.
 Villa finances his revolutionary movement by compelling foreign min- ing and cattle companies to make forced loans'' in return for protec- tion and by seizing and selling cattle silver and other property. Instances in which he has forced loans" have been reported within aJ few months When Villa was enCamped near Juarez he carried a travelling bag filled with American gold and cur renCy obtained from companies in Northern Mexico.
 It is known that he has captured some of the horses sold by the Unit cd States army remoUnt depot at Fort Bliss to the Carranza government.

 But these credentials have been of no avail in his quest for suitable em- ployment in this country, and, in de- spair, he says that he is going to

 EX-ofticers have discovered that
 the business world regards long mili- tary service as a disadvantage rather
 than an asset. An infantry captain
 43 years old, with a wife and three children, said: T have farmed in South Africa, served with the Natal Mounted Police, and prospected for gold. l want an outdoor job connect ed with agriculture, with a minimum salary of $1,25O.

 was the best they could do as trade 1 was so bad.

TURNING TO GOD

When the steamship Admiral Evans was in port Thursday night member of the crew had narrow escape from death. He stared death in the face when he was thrown into the air against the mast and hung suspended there, for had the cable given way a little he would have fallen, undoubt edly to his death.
 As he recovered from the first shock of being thrown into the air, the words could be distinguished many shrieked, and in the still night air his blocks away. They were:
 My God! Save mel"
 Whether he ordinarily, in his every day life, is a man of devotion and reverence is not known. But it is immaterial. The fact is that as he faced death, or thought he did, he called on God for assistance.
 What an example! How often it is seen every day in life. We go along through life, thinking little of the but let any of us be faced by death and immediately we turn to the Su preme Being. It was very noticeable to the hundred or more persons who stood on the dock Thursday night, watching and listening to the poor fellow, torn by fear and pain.
 We live in a thinking yet thought less age. A seeming contradiction, yet a fact. The world thinks of the material things more and more and less of the spiritual, apparently.
 Ketchikan, made up of good, whole some, hard-working people, can not be said to be a church-going public Not only that, but the number of young people and children who are never re- quired to go to church or Sunday school is remarkable. Yet if the adults do not feel it incumbent upon then to attend divine services once in 8 while, if not regularly, they should give the children right start in life, send them to church and Sunday school, and when they grow older let them decide for themselves whether by the majority of adults now living they wish to continue. As it was done in Ketchikan, so should they do by their children. Tomorrow is Sunday. There will be services of all denomi- nations in all the churches Just for a change, attend. You will probably see and hear something interesting. Certainly you will see or hear nothing demoralizing- Ketchikan Chronicle.
