(My Associated Press Correspondence)
MEXICO CITY, Feb. 27—Suburban
ites, who number nearly a quarter or
a million people, are seeking lodgment
in the city, with the result that pro
visions nre still more scarce and high
priced than they have been. During
the fighting in the suburbs between
the forces of Zapata and the Carran
zamen, the modern system of electric
car lines which link the capital to
its six principal suburban towns has
literally been shot to pieces. The
suburbanites are thus cut off from
their business in the city, and are also
in danger If they remain at home.
Tlie fighting has been of the most in
definite character with the contending
forces occupying and re-occupying vil
lages at intervals sometimes as short
ly separated as the rising and setting
of one sun.
The difficulty the soldiers have in
distinguishing friend from foe is il
lustrated by a recent incident in the
suburb of Coyoacan. A party of Car
ranzamen who had dismounted in the
main plaza encountered some loung
ers, who were not recognized as Za
patistas. A friendly conversation was
commenced and continued until some
one suspected the identity of the
loungers and challenged them. The
answer rang back “Viva Zapata!”
With that rifles were brought into
play and the plaza was strewn with
dead from both sides Reinforce
ments arriving for the Carranzamen,
the Zapatistas were finally driven to
the woods.

governments have been seized, while
private owenrs escaped. But >the

to the executors of Lambton to sell
thirteen racers, including Mediator.
The residue of the sale remain in
trust until after the war, since no
money can be remitted to the Prince.

WELSH GUARDS TO

LONDON, Feb. 27—Welshmen are
delighted with the fact that a battal

the men of extra height who for years
have been quartered at the Welling
ton Barracks opposite Buckingham
Palace and have performed guard and
escort duty at all military functions.
Although Welshmen as a rule are
short it is not anticipated that there
will be any difficulty in recruiting the
battalion. The Scots Guards have a
thistle as their emblem and the Irish
Guards a shamrock, and already there
is discussion whether the Welsh
Guards shall have a leek or daffodil
(the two names are the same in
Welsh) or a Red Dragon, which Is es

the supporters of the Prince of Wales'
arms and is used on national occa

Secretary Davidson's reply de

LONDON PAPERS SCORE
SOME OF THEIR OFFICERS
(By Associated Dress Correspondence)
LONDON. Feb. 27—The inability of
a certain type of Enylishman to re
press his sporting instincts when en
gaged in the graver business of war is
severely condemend by the Daily
Chronicle in an editorial dealing with
hare chasing and pheasant shooting at
the front. A number of officers have
even imported packs of beagles, the
species of hound used in the chase of
smaller animals.
"Sympathetic imagination Is never
the Englishman’s strong point; and
for lack of it some of our officers at
the front have made a rather serious
mistake,” says the Chronicle. Then,
after quoting a newpaper description
of a hunt behind the trenches, it con
nnues:
“It does not need much reflection to
see how jarring such conduct must
be in what ia not a conquered but an
allied country, while its mourning in
habitants, in presence of the great
calamity of invasion, are refraining
from every sport of the kind. It is
likely to give—and we happen to know
that it has given—great ofTense to our
French allies. Shooting parties have
been organized behind our lines and
pheasant preserves raided. All game
shooting in France Is prohibited during
the war; so that the French see Eng
lish officers indulging in sport which is
not only unseemly but also actually
illegal so far as they are concerned.
We feel sure that this sport is not in
dulged In with the knowledge or con
sent either of the Commander-in-chief
or of Lord Kitchener, and it should
certainly be prohibited in the future."

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
VIENNA, Feb. 27—A bookkeeper
named Bachinger who joined one of
the local landsturm regiments early
in the war, has been enjoying a brief
period of fame as a war hero here.
Wearing Iron Crosses of the first and
second classes, which he had taken
from the bodies of Prussian soldiers
while on ambulance duty, he told an
elaborate story of his single-handed
capture of the Governor of Warsaw.
He was received in state by the
Chief Burgomaster of Vienna and was
presented with a purse full of money
When the story reached the German
newspapers, it met prompt contra
diction, and Bachinger was arrested
He has now been sent to a hospital foi
observation as to his sanity.

SOLE SURVIVOR
VESSEL
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
YARMOUTH, ENG., Fed. 27—Yar
mouth seafaring men believe there is
no parallel to the rescue of E. S.
Riches, of this place, who was the
only man saved from the Hull sal
vage vessel. Salvor I., after being im
prisoned In the forecnstle of the up
turned wreck.
Riches was in the forecastle when
the vessel rolled over. All the other
members of the crew were washed
away and drowned. The vessel had
turned so quickly, however, that
Riches found plenty of air left to him,
and as the boat lifted in the swell he
could see light through one of the
port holes. He put out his hand
and waved It. Every minute or so
the boat dipped beneath the water,
but when she lifted again he repeated
his efforts to attract attention of any
one who might be watching the wreck
from shore.
This went on for three hours.
"I was dazed and practically gnsp
Ing for breath,” Richie continues. “I
then heard tapping outside the hull
of the hoat. Then someone spoke
through the port hole. The voice
said: ‘where shall I cut open the hull?'
I indicated this, showing him how to
keep clear of the stnncions. It seem
ed hours before I knew anything else.
There were fumes of acetylene gas
blown into the vessel, and then some
one gripped me by the neck and pul
led me out of the dark dungeon of
the hull, where, for a time, death
seemed to be my only hope of re
lease. I found afterwards that my
rescuer was Mr. McRobbie, Peter
head, Blacksmith.”
McRobbie’s attention had been at
tracted by Riches’ hand showing out
of the port hole. He fetched from
his shop a cylinder of oxygen and an
other of acetylene. Standing neck
deep in the water for almost an hour,
he, with the aid of several assistants,
cut through the. double plate of almost
o inches thick, ultimately succeed
lag in reaching through the forecas

LABOR LEADERS OBJECT
TO WOMEN TAKING JOBS
(By Associated I’ress Correspondence)
LONDON, Feb.27—The proposal to
the trade unions made by H. J. Ten
nant, M. P„ under-secretary of war,
that the men help recruiting by allow
ing women to take their places, is not
received with cordiality by the labor
leaders. To give women temporary
jobs, they reply, would result In seri
ous industrial trouble when the men
were discharged from the army. Al
ready the encroachment of women
upon the work of men has caused the
trade unionists considerable uneasi
ness. If women were given the jobs,
another crisis, says the unions, would
arise at the end of the war because of
their natural objection to being turn
ed out; or, what is worse, the men
having wives in the factories would
let them remain as the supporters of
the household.
Workingmen have not hung back in
the present war, and while no exact
figures are available for all the trades,
the percentage of enlistments is
known to be high. The dock laborers
have a quarter of their numbers in the
army, and out of 40,000 steam en
gineers, 4,000 are now wearing khaki.
