In letter written home a few days
before he was captured by the Bolshe-
Wiki in April, he writes:
The morning Of the expected adj

breahasted, and were ready for the
three sledges that were to take Hale

six o'clock sharp we heard the boom
of the artillery as the attack began
on the right wing. Hale was well on
his way before dawn. left for the

the constant boom boom of the can

guns and it's eight horse teams across
the road with direct threat from the

fired the door of the cabin would fly
open from the concussion unless Sc

Promptly at six the next morning
the Allied artillery fire opened. The

his artillery position about a cerst

AMERICANS BATTLE
WITH VILLA BAND
DRIVE MEXICAN REBELS FROM
THE JUAREZ RACE TRACK AND
TAKE MANY PRISONERS.
First General Combat in Which United
States Forces Take Part Ends in
Defeat for Followers Of Mexican
Bandit Chief.

Ell PNsO, TeXas.-Early Monday
morning, June Is, American troops and
Mexican rebel forces fought their first
general engagement ut the Juarez race
track. The Americans were victor
iOus.
Villas rebels were driven from the
race track by rifle and machine gun
fire and many prisoners were reported
taken by the cavalry which surrounded
the race track on the east and south
east, according to an official an.
nOuncement at military headquarters.
After the federals were allowed to
retire into the town, Colonel Hadselrs
colored infantry opened up with ter
rifle rifle fire on the trenches thanking
the race track.
They advanced in open order and
succeeded in dislOdging the Villa
forces who held the strongest posi-
lions as the colored troops were forced
to advance across comparatively
open plain. The first volley from the
American rifles was answered, shot
for shot, by the Villa troops, who
seemed to realize they were trapped
by the cavalry in the rear and the
infantry in front.
American machine guns started slut
tering from adobe houses near the race
track and the prepOnderance of rifle
fire was soon with the American
forces. The preliminary artillery prep
arations having been completed, the
shrapnel guns became silent as the
rifles took up the refrain.
The explosion of mauser and Ameri-
can cartridges could be plainly heard
from military headquarters in the Mills
building here, where General Erwin
was an interested spectator from his
tenth story window.
The American troops were sent
across the border at II o'clock Sunday
night, artillery being stationed in pO-
sitiOn from which the Juarez race
track, where the Villa rebels were
quartered, could be shelled with shrap-
mel. A thanking movement was being
followed in an effort to prevent the
escape of the rebels.

PEACE TREATY HAS

German contemporaries.
While unchanged in principle, vir-
tually new document will be pre-

1t is understood that the new treaty
will be made public OH the day of it's
delivery or the day after.
The council Of four, it develops, de-
cided that simply to attach the reply
to the original document was imprac-
ticable, as important clauses would be
left obscure and imperfect.
Hence the decision to rewrite the
document.
1t was commented in peace confer
ence circles that this action renders
obsolete the text published in the
United States.
Much Of the Emergencies from the
old text in the new treaty are of a
minor nature, but some are highly i'm

second paragraph Of article 232, where
the English text of the old document
limited compensation Germany was to
make to damage done the civilian pop
ulatiOn of the allied and associated
powers and to their property "during
the period Of the belligerency of each

WAGES FOR PROFITS
Grave Error That 10 Made by Most
People Who Are Working
for q Salary.

When our wage-earners and salaried
people begin to learn that savings are
profits and that the process Of accumu-
lating savings is substantially the same
as getting profits out Of business We
shall be on the way to becoming
thrifty people.
But very few wage and salary earn
ers know this.
Their mental process, to the very
limited extent that their minds enter
into the matter at all. is to regard the
pay check as profits. which is, Of
course, q very fundamental mistake.
In the business of wage-earning the
pay check Is no more profits than is the
cash that comes over the counter Of
store or through the receiving teller's
window at a bank.
A wage-earner's pay check is the
gross receipts, and his profits, If there
be any, are found by deducting from
these gross receipts whatever 1t costs
to keep the wage-earner going.
In business it is well understood that
there are just two ways to increase
profits: either more money must come
in over the counter, or else less must
be paid out in keeping up the business.
So with the wage-earner. II. he fails
to save he must fit himself for better
job or else lower his standard of uv-
ing; there Is no other way.-Carl Mar
shall In the Thrift Magazine.

human qualities that combined to con-
quer the air on this direct transatlantic
route, unshakable pluck was unques-

Immediately after landing, Captain
AlcOck said:

partner attached to the American

lip, retiring president of the Nation
al City bank, also before the COM
mittee, said they never had seen a
copy.
With that the committee adjourned
without setting date to continue the
hearing and with members on both
sides OF the treaty controversy saying
privately that the investigation appar-
emily was over.
Mr.. Davidson said he secured the
copy to clear up the status Of the Red
Cross under the league Of nations,
and never used it in a financial way.
He had shown it to no one except Mr..
Root, he continued, and had sent 1t
to him because he knew the former
secretary was being consulted by the
American mission.
Mr.. Root gave it as his opinion that
there was nothing improper in the
way the treaty reached him and that
he was free to use it as he chose.
There could be nothing secret about
it, he told the committee, because the
German government had made it pub
