Several patrons of the Elm Springs
district have already signified their
intention to transfer to the CONSOLIDATE
ed district for next year. A suspen.
sion bridge Is planned across Irons
Fork so that children may cross in
comfort and safety, no matter how
high the stream may be. This is a
long felt need in this community. I'M
provements in other things always
follow educational improvements.
The county superintendent office is
putting in force the ideas of practi-
cality held by Superintendent Harris.
He does not believe In teaching a lot
of useless knowledge to a student
which must be unlearned before the
actual work OF life begins. Today the
words higher education" mean to a
boy who will be farmer all he can
learn about agriculture. To the girl
whose ambition is to be a capable
homekeeper, the science which
teaches the making OF a home, good
cooking, neat housekeeping-t things
meant by the words Domestic
Science" Along this line will be milk
testing with the Babcock Tester which
has been ordered. Those boys who are
interested in good farming will well
come work OF this kind. In line with

IL it is possibly the Spanish steamer
Valanberna, missing since hurricane

Divers reported the name vaibanera

sci was only three thousand tons net.
1t would appear the estimated tonnage
was too high and that the sunken
ship is the Valbanera.
There We're three hundred passen-
gers and a hundred and fifty crew
aboard the Valbanera.
Since the. storm wireless signals from
the Valbanera have been heard by tho
Key West and Havana stations. but
the listeners could not determine the
position of the ship. AT the request
of the United States naval authori-
ties the wireless operators on the Mex
leo made every effort to catch any
possible message from the ship on the
way TO New York from Havana but
without success.
Definite information as to the num-
Der of passengers on the valbancra
could not be obtained Captain Miller
said, but it had been placed as high

Captain Miller said he was in close

At Havana the storm. while not
striking the island directly, did con-
siderable damage. Eleven deaths were
recorded by the newspapers. The
damage on the island when the Mexico
sailed had been estimated at more

SAYS GERMANY
WILL FIGHT IN
FEW MORE YEARS

Paris. Sept 19.-"Germany came
through this was a perfect dynamo of
strength, her human military power
practically as great as ever. her sixty
five million people schooled and
hardened by trials; they have learned
economy and self-denial. The nation
has been compressed into concen-
trated mass which is surcharged with
energy, moving with centripetal force,
while Germany's neighbors are spread
ing themselves out thin, quarreling,
and moving with centrifugal force
Thus spoke Henry Morgenthua, who
headed the United States investigating
commission in Poland, discussing to-
day his observations in Central Europe.
He expressed belief that Germany will
undoubtedly resort to arms in a few
years and attempt to regain her lost
territory.

Sends Letter to Washington in
Which He Denies Firing
Across Border and Protests
Against Being Called Bandit.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The first
direct word from Villa since United
States troops drove him from Juarez
came today in the form of letter
from his headquarters in Northern
Mexico. He says he has plenty Of am
munition and money from recent cap
lures. He plans to coordinate the
revolutionary forces.
The Villa letter said delegations
from General vuitehhez, who controls
the state of Eoahaila. and from Nuev-
oleon and Tamaulipas, had formally
agreed to recognize him as general in
chief of the revolution. 1t mentioned
plans for civil government for all ter
ritory occupied by the revolutionists.
Tern1ing General Gonzalez. the, Car
rama commandment at Juarez, "a most
arrant coward Villa said Gonzalez
first appealed for Mexican interven-
tion when villa troops attacked Juarez
then deliberately fired into FL Paso
to bring Americans across. Villa said
his men were careful not to fire a
single shot into FL Paso. He said in
view of the United States not allow
ing Carranxss troops ocross Texas IN
order to attack him At Juarez, he was
coptinuzy1g his policy of protecting all
Americans and other foreigners in his
territory. Lastly. he protests vigor-
ously against being called bandit.

STORM TOLL AT
CORPUS CHRISTI
MOUNTS TO 400

4 Corpus Christi, Texas. Sept. 19.--
with a large amount of territory still
to- be explored, searchers today re-
doubled their efforts to recover bodies
of persons who lost their lives In the
gulf hurricane, which struck this
vicinity last Sunday.
That dozens of persons who lost
Their lives probably never will be iden-
titled, was the belief expressed as re-
ports came in that burial parties were
interring bodies as rapidly as found
for sanitary reasons.
Today 264 bodies had been reported
buried. and of that number only 81
Were identified. F'ifty-seven bodies
had been buried here.
Relief measures for relieving the
distress of the 1000 or 1000 persons
made homeless by the storm, We're re-
ported to be progressing satisfactorily.
Recovery of ninety eight more bod
les today along Nueces Bay brought
the known dead almost to four hundred
and caused fears that the total might
reach double that
A compilation of figures at relief
headquarters shows 3S6 known dead.
Military rule was transferred today
from federal to state authorities. Cen
sorship OF news and private kilograms
was put into effect, but it was an
nounced that 1t would not effect the
Associated Press, which operates the
only leased wire out of Corpus Christi.
