VILLA.

We haven't heard a great deal re- garding the activity of Villa of late but we have become accustomed to expect that any such period of silence ls simply being used for greater prep srRtions. No Mexican has had rumor eo more things to him than has Villa. He has been killed and buried several times only to appear as the guiding hand for his forces just as regularly as ciocirworiz.
 It is therefore going to require something more than a report from acress the border. to the effect that Villa has been captured and Is being held by his own men for a price from ths Mexiczn government or some one ef the states, before 1t is given GedeDce.
 There is no bandit leader whose end uouid be more welcomed now by the carrzpza government than vilia's. It was an important capture that was mas when General Angeles was taken and likewise when Zspaka was elin- mated from the ring Of opponents, but q much better chance of wiping out the worst of the outlaws would be se- cured by setting viiia. Try as they would the forces of Carranza have been unable to apprehend him. though there have been repeated instances where the disposition did not appear te be very strong. In instances where thi1 country has been provoked to zctter there has been an utter refusal ts cooperate, or else Villa might not bs the object of search today.

Conditions in Vienna.

(By the Associated -Press)--Out- wardly Vienna is the same as before the war but actually this great city is stricken. Dozens of theatres and operas are open, cafes and music halls are crowded, but a very large part of the population is in poverty, lacking not only food and clothing but place to live. The streets are throng- ed, shops opened, shop widows filled with the articles of luxury for which Vienna is famous, but the better part -of the stock is to be found in the windows.
 Virtually everything is priced in hundreds: Of crowns. Austrian money. paper only and unbacked by precious metal, goes. steadily down. Even the swarms of beggars that infest the streets look responsibility at any thing less than the pink piece of paper that indicates two crowns.

Army Navy Foot Ball Game Unof-
fieially Slated for November
% at New York.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. February T.
From an unofficial. but reliable,
source it is understood at the Naval
Academy that the heads of the Army
and Navy have agreed to permit the
playing of the service foot ball game
at the Polo Grounds, New York.
November 2s of the present year.
This is a week later than the date
under the agreement between the
representatives of the institutions.
and will give one more home game to
each team. 1t is understood that the
official announcement will be made in
a few days.
The Naval Academy athletic officials
hope that Rear Admiral a. II. Scales,
the new superintendent, will recon-
mend a return to conditions in sports
which prevailed before the war. This
would mean the playing of the base
ball game against West Point May 81,
en- academy team in the finals of the
Intercollegiate Fe4cing Association.
and probably academy crews in the
American Henley.
