NOT EXPECTED TO LIVE

BY the Associated Press.
REDLANDS, Calf, August 31-Old
age is about to remove from Tackles
life the charm which carried the dog
through four years Of messenger serv-
ice during the World War in the French
and Belgian armies without a scratch.
He is so feeble at the home of Edward
Newbegin, his owner, that death is only
matter of days.
Tackle, Gruenwaldt Belgian shepherd,
was enrolled in the French army in
1914, and carried the first message be-
tween regiments ever sent by dog under
fire. He carried communications In a
capsule in his mouth. The dog con-
tinued in the service until the arnnistice
was signed.
At the close Of the war the French
trainer and breeder who had prepared
Tackle and others for their work, was
ordered to Russia. He left the dog with
sister. and Newbegin obtained him
from her.
King Albert Of Belgium personally
decorated Tackle for bravery.

MAY FIGHT LAST
BATTLE IN SONORA

NOGALES, Ariz., April 10.@P-
Indications that the Mexican revo-
lutionary forces preparing for
a last stand against the federal
armies at the Nagales, Sonora, rebel
stronghold, appeared today.
Rebel troops were laying concrete
foundations for artillery pieces
hard by the American border. Two
emplacements were located on high
hills east and west of the town
close to the international line. Two
others were being set up on hilltops
about a mile south Of the border.
Four rs millimetre 3-inch) guns
were said to be in the vicinity Of
the emplacements. Whether these
were the four guns which were re-
ported to have passed through Mex
lean NogaleS yesterday was not
known. Federal leaders at that time
said the four pieces were being
moved toward Naco, Sonora, %
miles east of here. Naco is in the
hands of the federals.
The preparations at Nogales, So

zalo Escobar, rebel commander in
chief, at Aqua Prieta, 80 miles east
Of here, last night, and the retreat
Of rebel armies into Sonora from

ton opened steady at a decline. OF
6 points to an advance of one point.
There was considerable bullish
comment on standard cloth Stats
tics which showed sales 2o.2 per
cent over production with an in
crease Of 60 per cent in untitled
orders for March.
After some irregularity, prices
eased off to 1895 for July and
1886 for October. Active months
showed net declines of about 10 to
IA points by the end of the first
half hour. Selling was attributed
largely to realizing or liquidation.
Part OF the early selling was sup
posed to be on a better weather map
than expected. The forecast for
additional showers, however, caused
some uneaSinesS over the outlook
and offerings were well enough alb
sorbed on the early decline to steady
the market later. At midday, prices
showed rallies of several points
from the lowest, with artive months
showing net losses of about 4 to 6
points.
Futures closed easy; II to 81
