gray-green beds of moss, delicately

flowers from the soft green tints
Of the sod land.
For many flowers nothing Is
better than plain glass bowls or

a variety of shapes at a good de-

never more effective than in a
straight glass tumbler; pansies

keep an eye open for these, not

MEXICO CITY. September 29.-Dis-
patches today told of actions involving
Mexican federal troops in widely sepa.
rated regions of the republic and for
as widely varied reasons.
In the State of Jalisco. on the west
coast troops fought two engagements
with rebels. described as Catholic
fanatics" This term has repeatedly
appeared In military communicates
since the outbreak of the struggle
over the government religious regu-
lations. Catholic leaders, however,
have consistently stated that their
struggle was a peaceful one and that
their followers were not authorized to
use force.
Thirty.fOur Rebels Killed.
Thirty-four rebels We're killed in the
two cembats. the first one at Los Mez.
quites and the second at Portezuelo.
In the Los Mezquites fight the rebels,
headed by Catholic priest. Father
Sedano,' resisted the troops from in
trenchments for four hours before
fleeing, with the loss of IA killed. Two,
including Sedano, were captured and
executed.
In the second engagement ESQ reb.
els. under Alberto Parajas, Francisco
Losa, Florencio Zaragoza and Jesus
NuneZ. attacked federals under Col
Ortis Sevila. Repulsed. they fled to
the mountains, leaving IS dead and
many wounded.
Americans Get Aid.
In the neighboring State of Nayarit
troops have been ordered to protect
American lives and property at the
Amajac gold and silver mines. near
IXtlan Del Rio. The orders were is.
sued after representations by the
American emba ssy. which was in
formed that rebels and agitators were
endangering the Americans in that
region.
Across the country, on the east
coast, troops have left Vera Cruz City
for Jalapa, capital of Vera Cruz State,
with the reported object of deposing
the state governor. Heriberto lara, in
pursuance of a resolution adopted by
the state legislature.
The legislatures action is said to be
connected with the strike of school
teachers. which began in Vera Cruz
Monday, with the support Of the labor
unions, to enforce demand for pay
ment Of overdue salaries.
Demand for Proof.
The charge by Candido Aguilar.
former foreign minister, that Venus.
tiano Carranza met his death in the
1920 revolution at the hands Of Gen.
Rodolfo Herrero has drawn from Her
zero a demand for public proof of the
accusation.
Gen. Herrero claims to have docu-
mentary evidence that the former pres
ident took his own life at Tlaxcalan-
tongo on May 21, 1920, while fleeing
from the victorious Obregon troops.
Carranza, he says, committed suicide
rather than be captured.
Unless Senior Aguilar publicly proves
his charge, Gen. Herrero declares, he
will challenge him to q duel and. II q
meeting OF honor is declined, will give
him thrashing. -
Press dispatches at the time said
that CarranZa was assassinated, and
his biographical sketch in the En-.
cyclopedia Britannica concludes with
the statement that he was killed while
trying to escape from the country.

Stone, steel, and dungeon,
Thus the workers paid.
You who build for the ages
Face them unafraid
Cross, rope, and fagot,
Water, rack, and wheel,
Well the heroes faced them
Let your nerves be steel.
Now the day is nearing,
The workers kingdom nigh,
Who strikes a blow for freedom2
Who lives tho he may die?
The rebels from the circus,
The prophets old and grey,
Arena victims bleeding
Are tramping on today.
Look, Socrates is marching
The hemlock in his hand,
And Spartacus beside him
With all his doughty band.
Now the day is nearing,
The workers kingdom nigh,
Who stand with them for freedom!
Who li.c& with them that die?
Hate, death. and prison,
These the rebels knew.
You the heirs Of rebels
Must be rebels too.
