VILLA IS MUCH
 DIFFERENT FROM
 FELIX ANGELES
Interesting Comparison Is Made of Two Men Who Are Leading Mexican
 Rebels at Present

JUAREZ, Mez., June 1S.--Thc physical law that opposites attract each other seems to apply to Fran cisco Villa and Felipe Angeles, the two leading Mexican rebel command
 CTS. Villa rough, impulsive and
 given to flashes of red temper is as
 devoted to Angeles the suave, well
 bred and highly educated, as if they
 were blood brothers. When Angeles
 left New York last November to join
 Villa many of his friends on the
 border wondered at his folly in leav-
 ing comfortable hotel to take the
 field with the most rough-and-ready
 character in Mexico. The two lead
 CTS are as unlike as the poles and
 yet each is the complement of the
 other and the result of their union
 under a rebel flag was almost in
 stantly apparent when Villa ceased
 killing prisoners and civilians, treat
 ed Americans captured by his forces
 with more consideration and refrained
 from destroying property wantonly.
 General Angeles was graduated
 from the Champultepec Military Acad-
 emy of Mexico as an artillery officer
 and studied at St. Cyr in France un-
 der master artillerists. He was an
 observer at many European man euvers and wrote many pamphlets on
 artillery fire. He joined the Madero revolution and, later the Constitu- tionalist movement under Carranza. When Villa broke with Carranza the prospect of action with Villa lured Angeles to his side and together they conducted an aggressive campaign n the north which had such dis astrous ending at the battle of Ceh lya. After this Angeles deserted Villa, bought dairy in the Fl Paso valley and announced his intention If retiring from Mexican military and political affairs. When the
 European war broke out he went tC New York as an inspector of shells | for the French government and quit | this to rejoin Villa in Mexico.
 1 Even in the field Angeles slaves | daily, wears clean linen and carries
 :, toilet kit on an extra pack mule Villa prefers a flannel shirt and g | soft collar to starched linen, slaves | tt rare intervals when in the field | md wears "hand-me-down" suits and square toed shoes.
 To an American held prisoner i'll Villas camp General Angeles con fded that Villa had almost ruined | his chances of ever regaining the good will of Americans by his treat nent of native and foreign prisoners | and that he, Angeles, has persuaded Villa that to observe the rules ol civilized warfare was to make friends for him and his cause in the United States. The only time Villa has | lapsed from this program was at Parral where he executed six Chin csc because he found them armed and the three Herreras, against whom h had grudge of long stand. ing
 To another American prisoner Vil Ia extented a blanket invitation to any Americans who. wished to visit him in his rebel camps in the field. To date no one has accepted this in- vitatiOn.

one exit from the dance hall to a

as an entrance to the dance hall,

rWENTY-sIX PERSONS PER
ISHED IN FIRE.

Vile Platte, La, Nov. 23.-Sev-
eral mothers sacrificed their own
lives to save their children in last
nights fire horror. which cost not
fewer than twenty-five in dead
and fifteen seriously injured. Sur.
yivors of the fire today described
the devotion manifested by these
women to their young ones, when
was of the most inspiring sort.
The ball given on the second
foor of the Deville building last
night had hardly begun before
the frightful disaster occurred
An oil stove in charge of II
year-old boy who was making col
fee in a rear room Of the P. u.
Martin grocery store, which was
in the Deville building, exploded
and the flames spread quickly at
7:3O D. m. Before the three hun
dred people attending the ball on
the second floor could begin find
ing their way to safety, the flames
had risen high. A panic fol-
lowed, a majority of the men,
women and children in the crowd
making a concerted rush for the
one exit with the result that the
stairway became practically
blocked, a barrier of struggling,
terror-stricken people cutting OF
the ones inside. Shrieks and
means of the weaker ones being
crushed and trodden underfoot
filled the air, and the flames rose
higher.
Every Babe Saved.
Mothers of about twenty-five
babies had come to the ball, chap
eroning their daughters, Latest
accounts are every babe was
Saved, though several of the moth
ers persisted. Their safety was
secondary to that Of their of
spring. Some of them passed
their babies forward with the aid
of other persons in the jammcd
exit until the infants were out OF
the building. Others deliberate
" ffnnx the wee ones over the
heads of the human wall that cut
oH the means of egress. First
reports indicated the babies were
lost. which would have placed the
total lives lost at about fifty, but
this was due to the great con-
fusion that prevailed.
