TRUSTING TO IRISH LUCK

 They also acquired snappy Irish chauffeur, who took them as try out, for an exceedingly snappy ride. As the car went faster and faster, tearing over busy crossings without as much as a hesitation, missing passing lenders by microscopic frac- tions of an inch and taking curves on two wheels, Aaron began, naturally enough, to get timorous.
 He'll kill us both!" he shrieked to his partner.
 "Nonsense!" I answered David "Ain't he got his own life to look out for as well as ours?"
 "But," protested Aaron, "what does an Irishman care for his life if he can kill coupla Jewish fellers ?"

Juarez. Mexico, May 4.-With the virtually complete conquest of Chi huahua. the next effort of the liber- al constitutionalist party will be di- rected to an advance on Mexico City, said statement issued tonight by General J. G. Escobar, commander of the Jnarez district, who yesterday joined the revolutiohists.
 "We do not expect bloodshed at least until we reach the capital,'' he said. "We expect that on the way South Carranza's soldiers will real ize the futility of resisting our sweeping movement and will join our ranks as they have done else where. But it is possible that when we reach Mexico City there will be some show of fight, which, however, we feel confident will be without re- suit"
 General Escobar said he turned from Carranza because l believe he was trying to force Ignacio Bonillas on the people against their will"
 American immigration officials in Fl Paso have received orders not to permit American women to cross the bridge between Juarez and El Paso.
 General Escobar expressed ignor- ance regarding the fate of Torreon, which was reported to have fallen. It wss admitted, however, Ojinaga, Chihuahua, opposite Presidio, Tex, was still held by Carranza forces, af- ter an unsuccessful attempt by part of the garrison to revolt
 Details of the fall of the Chi huahua City garrison were received from that city today. On April 26, Generals Eugenio Martinez Joaquin Amaro and Colonel Manuel Otero Cana, with all other chiefs, repudiat- ed the Carranza government and as sumed control after 12 hours fight ing wit hthe 62nd battalion com manded by General Figueroa. Figuer- ca then surrendered.

the greater number of them have
dropped out of school, gone to WORK,

It is becoming a pure democracy, in
spirit if not il fact. Every issue OF
life is being decided at the ballot box.
Selfish interest manifests itself there
among all classes. Only the thought
full man, the educated man, :he man
with mind trained to reason right
and to think honestly, will save US
in this emergency. The more pen we
