FL PASO. June 23.-ViIla's forces were scattered, his men exhausted and many were dismounted and without rifles or ammunition, when they passed through Samalayuca and San Jose Sat urday, going west from the railroad. said a rancher who arrived here today. He said many of the Villa men were without shoes and all were hungry.
 The wounded men, the rancher said, were being taken to San Lorenzo, 75 miles southwest of Villa Ahumada, where Villa had established a hospital for his wounded prior to the battle of Juarez. He confirmed the presence of the federal troops at Villa Ahumada and said the Villa column had headed westward toward Casas Grandes, leav- ing the railroad south of Samalayuca. Villa was making an effort to reorgan- ize his columns to prevent General Pablo Quiroga's cavalry attacking it in the rear, but the Villa forces were badly demoralized following the American pursuit. he said.

Hold Admiral ResponsibIe

the German fleet at Scapa Flow is re- garded by most editorial writers as a fresh example of German faithlessness.
 It is contended that the carrying out of Admiral won Reuters order auto matically annuls the armistice and makes the admiral liable to the death penalty.
 Some newspapers demand that the allies exact fullest penalties. including immediate payment of 70,000,000 pounds gold as the value of the fleet.

To Be CourtmartiaIed

LONDON, June 24.-Admiral von Reuter-. in command of the German fleet scuttled and sunk in the Scapa Flow, will be courtmartialed for hav- ing broken the armistice conditions, says the Daily Mail today.
 The newspaper adds that the details of the trial will be arranged by the allied council in Paris.
 The German admiralty denies ru- nor in circulation today in Paris and elsewhere that the Germans had sunk the remainder of their warships in German harbors.

DOUGLAS, June 23.-A command of Villistas reached Casas Grandes late Saturday, according to word reaching Agua Prieta late today. Whether Nil- la was with the force could not be ascertained Although there was a rumor to the effect that he was, this was disbelieved by the federals, who regard the first arrivals as the van guard of the main Villa army. Up to the time of the departure of the mes senger from the Chihuahua end of Oji- | tos Pass, no violence had been offered l by the Villistas toward the Mormon colonies of that district. AS far as could be ascertained during the first hours of their arrival, the Villistas had no intention of attempting reprisals, it ! was stated.
 | The VillistaS appeared to be very tired and very badly demoralized by 1 the crossing of the Americans. when they considered the battle against the | federal garrison of Ciudad Juarez all but won. Among the arrivals were several slightly wounded men, the message stated.
 General Francisco Martinez in com mand of the federal forces in Agus Prieta, stated today he intended to dis patch troops to garrison Fl Tigre.
 He did not specify how many mer would be sent or the exact date O. their departure. He intended that fol the present one garrison would be al that would be sent and he would re tain the remainder of his force intac in the border port

thin lips were drawn in the crooked

solemnity When he moved he gave
an Indefinite Impression Of disem-

Andrea was suddenly aware that
Msungo carried the big gun. It's dead
weight Of eleven pounds lay in his
hands lightly as though it also were
sustained by a spiritual force. She had
not seen him take it and there was
something ghostly in the mere fact Of
his possession Of 1t. Her mind was in

taking over Of he big gun had hung

THE LOCUSTS

A great deal of misinformation
and much superstition clings to the
appearance of the so-called 17-year
locust. While there is a great. deal
to excite wonder about this unique
insect, the mystery which surround
ed it's sudden appearance two or
three times in a lifetime has been
fully explained. If people will but
remember what they have observed
or read, there should not be re-
vival of the old-time fear which pos
sessed the people in past ages when
the hosts suddenly arose from the
ground. First, locusts are not
poisonous, and will not sting" peo-
pie or animals. They do puncture
the tender twigs of trees for the
purpose of inserting their eggs, caus-
ing the end of the twig to die.
Second, they will not devour crops,
as do grasshoppers, nor injure grow
ing fruit. Third, their appearance
is not a prophecy of anything, eX-
ceps that they will not be seen
again for seventeen years, or thir-
teen in the case of one brood.-Penn-
sylVania Farmer.
