Greater Casualties
in French Infantry
Try Associated Press)

Paris-There was less danger Of
death, in the late war, to officers who
fought in the air than to those who
combatted on the earth. French sta
tistics show that 20 per cent of in
fantry officers were killed, while only
21 per cent of aviation officers lost
their lives.
The fatalities among officers in gen
eral, as compared to enlisted men in
all branches, were nearly equal, being
10 per cent for the former and 1876
per cent for the latter.
The percentage of losses by age show
that the 20-year-old soldiers, both of
fcers and men, suffered the most.
Here the death list was 29.2 per cent
while men from As to so years old lost
in killed between per cent and per
cent of their numbers.

Cocktails Take the
Place of Flowers
By John De Gandt.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Paris-The midinettes of Paris have
just launched an offensive in favor of
cheap cocktails, to replace the daily
after-lunch coffee.
1t is fact that cocktail drinking
is becoming more and more popular
among the feminine stats of the ate
Tiers in the rue de la Paix. Opera and
Madeleine quarters. It is quite a sight
to watch every day at the noon hour
parties of cocktailers invade the bars
and demand their one franc cocktail.
These one franc cocktails don't taste
bad for anyone who does not know
what cocktail is, but the majority
of Paris midinettes don't know, and
they are, perfectly satisfied with the
imitation of Martini which they proud
ly drink.
Of course. although such mixture
costs one-fourth of what real cock
tail is sold in Paris, it still means to
the midinettes more than what they
used to be charged for their after
lunch coffee, and this is the reason
why, in order to balance their daily
budget, they have decided to dispense
Of the flowers they used to buy al
most every day too.
While bartenders are rejoicing, flow
err merchants curse, because they are
loosing good charming clientele.
How land this craze will last, no
body knows. Despite the fame of
cheap cocktails, Paris midinettes will
soon feel sad without flowers pinned
on their blouses.

Won't Be Bound.

Villa doesn't like to be bound to
anything. His breaking away from
restraint, his violation of his compact,
his defiance of the Obregon administra-
ton, coming at the very time when the
United States was about to extend
recognition to Mexico, is fraught with
grave possibilities.
Villa may be induced to withdraw
his candidacy; he may stay in the race
and be defeated. But Mexican officials
are nervous, for whether elected or de-
feated for Office, they fear it will start
Villa on another rampage.
If defeated, he will not take it kind
ly. He could do many things in re-
sentiment. If elected, he may want to
supersede federal powers. For Villa
is not content with being an underling.
So there you are-the same old Villa
same old menace.
Reports from Durango are to. the
effect that Villas announcement has
caused Juror. There is strong sup
port for Villa and strong opposition,
too, and Mexico is not accustomed to
settling its big issues by ballot. The
state of Coahuila, neighbor to Du-
range, is. also disturbed and the fire
if not quenched. may spread, for Mex
leo hasn't had time yet to drop the
insurrecto habit.
Has Bodyguard of 200.
Villa has bodyguard of 200 men.
all former soldiers, faithful and good
shots, He has many other employees
on his big ranch. Raising crops and
stock and marketing them may be
profitable, but they. are not in Villas
line. He is not farmer Or ranchman
and subordinates supervise all the
work. The ranch, its many tractors
and other farm machinery were toys
for while, but the former dictator
has grown tired of playing with them
and longs for new game-and it. may
be the old game, game which kept
Mexico enbroiled and which all but
took in the United States.
What Obregon will do is not known.
Probably he doesn't know what to do.
If he orders Villa to stick to his
treaty, this might make an avowed
enemy of him. If he sends federal
army to compel him to abide by his
pledges, this means war.
A pretext would be all that Villa
would need Temporizing with the
Durango rancher also is dangerous
It all depends upon the ambitions, of
the former general.
Villa is sos years old-young enough
to still be ambitious.
