he was killed last Friday, which was
the time set as the limit for the pay
ment of the ransom demanded by the
bandits
Secretary Lansing, in making public
the facts in the ease of DIR. Goenaga,
said that the American embassy in Mex
leo City promptly filed a demand on

that Goenaga was a captive. This was

vices from Mexico City appear to have
| a fairly well organized force under com
| mand of Valentino Reyes, who, it ap,
pears, is heading band of bandits and
| anti -Carranzistas, with headquarters in
| the mountains near Mexico City.
In his letter, written July %, DR.
| Goenaga wrote that the Mexicans had
informed him that they would kill him
unless the ransom, the amount of which
the state department information
fixed at several thousand pesos, was
paid by last Friday.
Secretary Lansing, referring to thu
/ kidnapping of DR.. Goenaga, said thai
| the Mexican foreign Office had informed
the American embassy in Mexico Cit.
that Mexican troops have been hur
riedly sent to the rescue of DR.. Goenags
and that the Mexican government was
inclined to pay the ransom if necessary
to save the prisoners life.

came out of Mexico yesterday, ant
which was made public by Secretar,
Lansing, told of the attack on an Amer

CHILDREN CATCH MICE
EARN THRIFT STAMPS

When the cats away the mice
will play-but not at the orphan
age at Oxford, n. G. At this
thrifty institution the destructive
little rodents are being holly
pursued by the children-not
only the mice but even the big
gray rats find no rest-and as
they are caught they arc sold for
Thrift Stamps.
One Cent For Each Rat.
From Miss Mary G. Shotwell, field
director for Norths Carolina for the
War Loan Organization of the Fifth
Federal Reserve District, comes the
account of what the children at the
Oxford Orphanage are doing. These
children, she says, do not have a
great deal of money, but what they
get, Miss Shotwell says, they invest
in Thrift Stamps. Recently rats and
mice began a spring drive on the
barn and the oTphanage superinten-
dent offered one cent for each rat
| brought to his office. The children
made a splendid counter attack
catching ana killing number of the
pests. Even the girls, forgetting their
traditional fear of the furry little
beasts, joined joyfully in the chase
and number of Thrift Stamps were
bought in consequence.
