Washington Sees Move for
Spread of Revolution
In Mexico
CAPTURE 26O TROOPS
Villas Success Bears Out Advices
that His Revolution is Under
Full Headway

WASHINGTON, May 15-Reports
of growing strength of the revolu-
tionary movement headed by Francis
CO Villa, as developed recently in the
State of Chihuahua, reached Wash
ington in dispatches stating that Villa
had recaptured the town Of Parral.
He first entered Parral during the
Easter period, when he hung Herrera
the Mayor of the place, and two of
his sons. Villa then headed south
toward Torreon, the chief rail centre
in Eastern Durango, while Carranza
troops ,re-entered Parral and were in
possession of the town up to Ist
Thursday.
According to the advices reaching
Washington Villas force returned on
Thursday, and 260 of the Government
troops in Parral were captured,
though their commanding officer, one
General Gomez, escaped. After look
ing over the captured Carranzista
force Villa made them a speech in
which he told of the object of his
revolution, asserted the captured men
should be ASHAMED of themselves"
for serving the Carranza Government,
and finally turned them loose and told
them to go back to work.
Villas attack on Jiminez, and his
recent capture of Bustillos, near Chi
huahua City, were also cited here as
tending to bear out confidential adj
vices received in Washington, indl-
eating that the Villista movement
was spreading and that by June his
revolution would be under full head
wav. Since the CarranZa Government
ordered General Dieguez from the
Tampico district, with several thou3-
and men, to cooperate with General
Jesus Agustin Castro, who has he"n
Carranza's recent Chief Military
Commander in Chihuahua, little has
been disclosed as to the movement oi
Government reinforcements. 1t w".s
considered that the recapture OF Par
raj showed that Villas sources OF in
formation had enabled him to strike
without interference from Generals
Dieguez or Castro.
All the information reaching Wash
ington channels tends to show that
the Carranza Government is con-
fronted by a situation that will e.
come increasingly difficult during the
coming summer. Aside from The
spread of the Villa movement in the
north, the government is facing a
hard problem south Of Mexico city,
where the Diaz revolutionists and the
remaining elements of the ZGpatists
movement have been active.

Tell the Age of Oceans

Neutrality-suspicious. old is the ocean?
Standing on the shore and looking out
over the expanse of water, the ocean
seems a fixed and eternal fact, but
the seas had a beginning and will have
an end, Scientists say that when this
time comes the last drop Of water will
have been absorbed into the earth's
crust, its surface will be a desert and
all life will become extinct.
The age Of the oceans have been
estimated by a leading authority, Pro
fessor Frank Clarke Of the United
States Geological survey, at about 3d.
100000 years. This, Of course. is only
al approximation, but Is based on
carefully studied scientific data.
All the water was once contained
in the vapor that surrounded the glow
ing, slowly cooling mass which is now
the earth. After the gases combined
to form water the process Of making
the ocean salt began. This was the
work Of the rivers. Mineral salts were
extracted from the rocks over which

From the end of March to JuIN 30, he
said, more than four hundre{ offices

PitifuI Ending of Career of Sir
Luke White, Once Member
of Parliament.
BANKRUPT and A WRECK
Some Of His Poor Constituents Lost
Their All by lntrusting 1t to Him
WAR Makes Financial
Distress Known.

London-From a position Of afflu-
ence, popularity and public service
which won him a seat in parliament
and a knighthood, Sir Luke White is
ending his days as the inmate of a
workhouse infrmary in Driffield. Cley-
e. enough to rise from poverty to a
noted career, injudieious investments
brought him low, and at the height of
his political power he was forced to
confess himself bankrupt. He carried
down with him numerous trusting con-
stituents, and his liabilities of $780,
600 included $4,000 in loans from
poor people who had con1ded their all
to him. The shame Of having thus
wrecked the savings of those who be-
lieved in him completely unnerved
him. Now he is dependent on public
charity, his spirit utterly crushed. and
he is n of the most pitiful figures in
the north of England.
Began as Office Boy.
Born in Deighton, near York, in
1916, he was an Office boy at fifteen
for a solicitor, who paid him about 80
cents a week. After eight years in
that service, of course with increasing
income, he became managing clerk for
another solicitor in Driffield. In an-
other six years he was admitted to
the bar as solicitor, and in the same
year he succeeded to the practice of
his employer, who had died.
He speedily became known as a
local preacher and speaker for a large
district, and he was highly popular
and successful. For years he was
chairman of the local board, and then
of the urban district council. Then he
went to the East Riding county coun-
Gil. In 1896 he was appointed n of
the ron for East Riding. He act
ed as election agent for Sir Angus
Holden, Liberal member of parlia-
ment for the Buckrose division, and
when Sir Angus died in 1900 White
was chosen as his successor. In 1908
he was knighted.
Popular For Years.
He continued to divide his time be-
tween his attendance at Westminster
and his business in Yorkshire, but as
he gave more time to his parliament
airy duties than to his private affairs,
his practice suffered. The war brought
out the fact that he was in financial
distress, and last fall he resigned his
seat and filed a petition in bankruptcy.
1t appeared in the bankruptcy pro.
ceedings that some of his poor con-

leaving Washington, and made no protest. In fact, it transmres that the
delegation did not expect to obtain favorable action at this time.
The dispatch of the commission by the Philippine legislature was forced

lack of aggressiveness in seeking independence.
