In announcing that Major-Gen. Joseph
T. Dickman. commanding the Southern
Department, had acted on instructions
fro m the War Department. Secretary
Baker intimated that only the danger in
which the two officers were placed pre-
vented an attempt to rescue them by
force
when the reports came OF the cap
ture OF these two officers and their being
held for ransom" Secretary Baker said
THE hour of execution was fixed on the
next day In default OF the ransom being
paid There was of course no oppor-
tunity to make military rescue within
such time, and / therefore directed that
the ransom money be paid and that
force be arranged to take UP the trail of
the bandits and pursue them with the
hope OF being able to capture as many
ar possible"
Reports to the state Department to-
day from the American Consul at Ell
Paso said that late last week Gen. Die
guez Mexican commandant at Chihua-
hua City, had ordered Mexican cavalry
patrols out through the country where
the American officers were held, but
.there was no indication whether these
patrols still were operating.
Mexico Promises Aid.
The Department also was advised by
the American Embassy at Mexico City
that when 1t made representations re-
garding the capture of the avators the
Mexican Foreign Office promised to see
that every possible step was taken to as
sist in. the rescue.
Dispatches to the Department from
Chichuhua said the Governor of that
Mexican State. with the approval OF
President Carranza, had offered a re-
ward of $4,000 for the capture of
Francisco Villa. Two Colonies and
three Captains of the Villista forces car
tured by the Federals were said to have
been convicted of treason Sunday by a
military court martial and executed BY
a firing squad yesterday.
The Mexican situation was further
considered in Congress to-day Repre-
sentative La Guardia New York; in
troduced a resolution demanding that
Score tary Lansing make a complete re-
port to Congress on the capture of
Lieutenants Davis and Peterson and the
negotiations that led to their release.

Troops Have Hard Job.

Saddle weary and rain soaked. the
troops of the Eighth Cavalry continued
pushing forward tonight despite the
storms that swept the mountainous re-
gion south of the Rio Grande- Big Bend
district. Torrential rains feh in the
Ojinaga district. and low visibility pre-
vented good airplane scout service.
1t was believed the comparatively
small number of bandits under Jesus
Renteria were hidden in the mountains
and that every pass would have to be
searched.
The district within the angle formed
by a junction Of the Rio Grande and
Conchos rivers Is the widest section of
northern Mexico, noted for rugged
mountains, deep canyons and barren
deserts
Along these trails the cavalrymen
were making their way tonight. The
columns OF ten were forced to break
into detachments and wind slowly UP the
sides OF mountains, down box canyons
always alert for a bandit ambush. Sol
diers and officers wore wet uniforms,
caked with dust.
The troops are on field rstions from
mule pack trains, as no field Kitchens
were taken.
The communication line Is being main
tained to the border. along which sup
ply trains and couriers pass from the
base on the American side TO the columns
in the field.
The telephone line to Preside was out
OF order tonight and nothing was
known of movements of Carranza troops
from Ojinaga, opposite that point. Or
ders were issued at headquarters here
to all commanders in the expedition to
use every care to protect peaceable Mex
leans.
1t was said here tonight that it vir-
tually was impossible to carry out
Major-Gen. Dickman's order instruct ting
officers to pay the bandits the full ran
som. unless the bandits are overtaken

Great White Plague
Played Havoc With
i American Troops

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE largest
single disability Of American troops
who fought the Germans is reported
to be tuberculosis of the lungs, Rec
ords of the Federal Board for Voca-
tional Education state that more
than IS per cent. of a total of 10000
cases examined showed affected
lungs.
tuberculosis got busy in the con-
centration camps, accompanied the
boys aboard ship to the great train
ing centers in France and then into
the muddy trenches of Flanders, Bel
gium and France.
OF the $4,000 soldiers reported on
the disability lists. tuberculosis had q
greater hold than wounds sustained
in battle. The same disease eclipsed
shell shock. nerve diseases and in
sanity all put together.
The total amputation cases were
only 4.s per cent. Insanity cases
were per cent; nerve diseases and
shell shock were 2.6 per cent; while
only 4,748 of the total number OF
cases were incurred in battle.

POINTS TO NEED
\ OF ALLIED AID
Troops Must Not Be Removed
From Northern Russia,
Says P. Mamontoff

London. Oct ia distressing pic
la&ion OF Northern Russia at the
hands of the Bolsheviki. once all al
lied troops are withdrawn. Is painted
By the delegation from the municipal
and xemstovo organizations of the
Archangel district now in England.
1.-The Northern territory has done
all 1t cam" said P. Mamontoff. who
heads the delegation. ito form its
own army. but in spite of straining
every nerve. we have not the mill
tary force to ensure our safety. To
leave the territory at such a time,
without assistance. means that the
Allies would be giving over the de-
tenders of the territory. together
with all its democracy, to fire and
sword. AS soon as we lose the Allied
support, the Bolsheviki will bring up
reinforcements for a strong offensive
and we shall be crushed.
The Bolshevili are wei aware that
we have supplies of foodstuffs which
they are vitality in need of. We have
had a good harvest for the peasants
starved themselves to sow their
fields. using garden grain for seed
that they needed for food. They will
not surrender their dearly-won har-
vest without a struggle, and that
means q massacre of the resisting
peasants by the Bolsheviki.
Doubtless half OF the peasantry
will be wiped out All of the politi-
cal opponents of Bolshevism will be
destroyed. along with their women
and children. That is why we have
come to England to mako this last
appeal to the people of this country
and to those of our other Allies not
to desert us in this hour of our des-
perate need"
One effect Of tho withdrawal will
be. according to the delegation. the
alienation of the Northern Russians
6rom the Allies.

PRESIDENT WILSON
MAGIC STATESMAN

whenever Woodrow Wilson gets
ready to go out and meet the people,"
said Charles T. Logan this week, "he
seems to have the most winning way
with him of any great public man |
know in history. l don't know what it
is, but it is something he carries along
on tap ready to hand out wherever he
goes. His conquest of Europe has
been absolute. He has carried good
cheer to whole nations. Everybody in
France and England has caught the
Wilson contagion of smiles and happi-
ness. Those who haven't seen him
know of his hearty smile, his innate
good cheer and optimism. There must
be something remarkable about a man
who can do all the things he does with
such apparent unconscious feeling.
Trump him up at a moments notice
and ask for word and out it comes
with the most wonderful graciousness
of words. A case in point: When he
was welcomed at the white cliffs of
Dover by the mayor there never was a
more felicitOus little speech than his.
In France to the soldiers, to the peace
delegates of that republic, at dinners
everywhere, he so happily phrased his
thought to fit the exact sentiments of
the moment that one wonders at his

The Inspiring Palisades View.

When the Home Guard turned out
last Thursday night they marched to
the edge of the Palisades and stood
watching the searchlights and signals
of the battleships. These lights played
in every direction for several minutes,
but never once did they strike the top
of the cliffs until the last moment,
when a full blaze of light suddenly
shone on the platoon, and a general
shout went up, as if greeting the oper-
ator, about two miles away There is
no place in the whole world that can
show such a wonderful sight as the
Palisades when the battleships line the
river and the lights of the city blaze
in the background.

at good wages and not a haphaZard job
once in awhile. The land must be
opened up If you wish to solve this

they ask for justice and that alone.

The Land Perplexity.

There has been no suggestion in any
quarter that the landowners in any
European countries should be restored
to their rights. Why not? Because
those rights are really wrongs and
everybody knows it instinctively. EY-
cry one knows that a man owning"
hundreds of square miles of land is an
impossible conception, yet they have
existed for thousands of years. The
time has come to end them once and
for all. Join with us to restore the
ownership of all land to the comIDuni-
ties that occupy it by collecting the
rent or annual value of the land for
the benefit of the community and abol-
fishing all forms of taxes altogether.
