Famous Outlaw Leader Hunted DOwl and Slain by Government
 Troops.

Mexico City, April 11.-Gen. Emil- jana Zapata, the rebel leader in south ern Mexico, has been killed by govern ment troops, according to an announ cement by the Mexican War Depart ment tonight.
 The message says that part of the 5Oth regiment, serving under Gen Pablo Gonzales of t1e Carranza army returned to Cuautla, General Con- 'zales' headquarters, tonight with the body of the rebel chle1.
 Advices from Morelos say that the death of Zapata was brought about by strategy, Zapata with his follow. CTS had been hiding in an inaccessible mountain region since the government troops had pacified the state of More los, which had been the stronghold of Zapata since he began his revolt in 1909.
 Zapata Is said to have been killed in an unnamed part of the mountains of southern MorelOs by troops un- der command of Colonel Quajardo. The War Department has promoted the colonel to a .generalship,
 At the height of his power, several years ago, General Zapata figured as the possible head of the Mexican gov ernment At three different times during the last 10 years his followers were in control of Mexico City for brief periods.
 Operated for 10 Years.
 Since the fall of Porfirio Diaz, Emil liano Zapata and Francisco Villa, in southern and northern Mexico, respec- lively, have been the sources of un- ending trouble for the various govern. ments of Mexico. Zapata, the first to raise the standard of revolt. is the first to fall Villa still is active Fl the north, although not on as ex- tensive scale as formerly.
 For 10 years gZapata had rayaged southern Mexico. Starting with a small fofce in 1909, he was able by 1911 to defeat government forces sent against him, and during the Huerta regime held sway over sev- eral states in addition to Morelos, where he began and ended his career. 5 For short time in 1914 Zapata and viJla worked together against Huerta, hut the southern leader soon dis a9peeG with the northern rebel chief and withdrew again to the mountains

BATTLE TANK COMING
 TO AShnOWM FRIDAY
Big Crowd Expected to Come and See Real Battle Tank in Action; Lib-
 erty Loan Drive.

A large crowd will be in\ Ashdown Friday, next, April IS, to see the big American battle tank parade the streets under it's own power and go through all its maneuvers. The tank will be brought in on a flat car on a special Victory Liberty loan train. It will arrive at o'clock in the morn ing and leave at 10 o'clock at night. Arrangements are under way to have the tank taken to Foreman over the Frisco at some time during the day, but as yet we are able to make no announcements about that.
 The big feature will be the exhibi- tion of this latest model American tank operated by trained crews of overseas soldiers. It is said that Am erica had thousands of these tanks ready when the war ended, and that If Germany had not suddenly changed her mind about being able to conquer the world, that America had enough of these tanks to place one every 70 feet across the entire American front. Prominent speakers will be along and will make addresses explaining the necessity of the success of the Victory Liberty loan.
 Ready for the Drive.
 The Victory Liberty loan drive opens properly Monday Chairman E. c. Payne announces ths allthe commit |tees are ready Members of the exc cutive committee attended the meeting at Little Rock last week and came back enthusiastic with the firm belief that the loan would be put over in good shape It Is proposition of nationa. honor and 1t must not fail. A meeting was held in thi city Monday to ar range the speaking program, which will open Sunday.
 Meeting Wednesday.
 A meeting will be held at the court house Wednesday afternoon at which
  ty are expected to be present. Final instructions and detailed plans will be made. With the right kind of pep at the start there is no reason why the loan here should not be completed in three days. Our quota has not been announced, but this county has form ed the habit of going over the top.
 The Victory Liberty loan is the last loan and will finish the job The bonds will be for four years bearing 3-4 per cent interest. The terms are the easiest of any previous loan, requiring only 10 per cent down. The final pay ment will be after you have sold your cotton next November. At another place in this paper. the trems in detail are given. It will be easy to handle it. It will be carried by the govern ment in a way that will not burden the local banks.

The idea is this: Highbrows could

HEROIC SERBIA'S PART
IN WAR is EXTOLLED
DR.. Rosalie S. Morton, Formerly of
D. c., Addresses Chapter of
Red Cross Here.

That the world did not learn suf-
ficiently of the heroic part the Serbs
played in the world war and that,
consequently, America did not re-
spond, In a tangible way, to the full
est possible extent in the hour of need
of this proud little country, was the
statement of DR.. Rosalie Slaughter
Morton, former resident of Wash
ington and a volunteer worker in va.
rious Serbian hospitals, speaking at
a meeting of the District of Columbia
chapter of the Red Cross, held Monday
afternoon, and presided over by Mrs.
Alexander Sharp.
Serbs asked for little help, said the
speaker, because they would rather
die for their country than be consid-
sidered in any sense a mendicant
nation; yet all Serbia was as much
devastated as were Belgium and
France in part. Her reconstruction
task is great one, therefore, but
she will face it as she has faced
all of her problems.
DR.. Morton went to Serbia in 1915,
returning to America when we en-
tered the war, and became active in
war work here! She returned to Ser
bia and was there for some months,
receiving the distinguished service
order Of Serbia, She will return to
Serbia in June.
